"Nico" is a striking boy who is very sweet and calm.  Nothing seems to bother him and he is not at all spooky.  Stands tied quietly, good for farrier, sound, no vices, easy keeper - stays fat on just grass or hay.  OK with dogs walking under him.  Lively but easily controlled.  Will stop instantly when you say "whoa".  Does lovely rein yields and is now getting on the bit although I have not ridden him much lately.  Knows Clinton Anderson lunging and can send over jumps on the lunge.  Nice soft mouth and flexible body.  Very floaty mover so would make a good dressage horse.  Lovely big hard feet that rarely need trimming with sturdy bones and joints.  Willing jumper and careful with his feet although I have only jumped him maybe 3 times total.  This flashy boy would look good in any discipline.
