Description
And suddenly I realized Prince is an almost complete unknown around here. The only picture posted of him was as a young man. I've been riding this brat since he was a raw boned 6 year old greenie with a bumpy rump. Ten years later and he's plumper around the gut and rump, but still a brat
. He's also the only one of my horses to ever throw me more than once, totally a keeper 
.

Aw, I've had my own bay boy for the same period (6-16). Kash always responds ... he's just not always a gentleman about it. He can also spin, dang Arab disappearing act...
What is his breed? He looks a little Morgan-ish, but I could be wrong.

He doesn't disappear too well. One bad habit he hasn't had a chance to learn is that escape is a possibility. I've convinced him that I can always hunt him down in time no mater what so running is futile other than a little playfulness before being caught XD
Yeah, he's a morgan, it's more obvious in full body pictures now that he's thickened with age. He's caught pretty evenly between a new and old type build.

More "disappear" as in from under one's seat. Once dislodged he stares at you like "what are you doing down there?" Haha, it's always best not to let horses learn what they are capable of!
I'm pretty fond of Morgans or I should say the idea of Morgans? I haven't worked with many, but they've always been on my list.

Mine knows he's been bad and straightens up quick after the fact, but it doesn't stop him from trying now and then. Nothing equine is scarier than a horse that knows exactly how strong they are. There's a mule where my horse is that knows she can pick up a 300+ lb man with her neck and clear a 5ft fence (gracelessly as she has destroyed two gates doing so). She has to be confined to a stall when her best buddy is ridden or she causes all sorts of hell.
They can vary quite a bit. I've known two personally and one was a old type pony who you could trust alone with anyone while mine I trust with no one until I've seen how he's going for the day. The only thing they shared was being very smart and emotionally perceptive.

Holy cow. I knew mules could jump, but that's ridiculous (I'm sure it would be more graceful if her neck wasn't made 300lbs heavier...).
I'll remember that if I ever find myself in the market for one.

He is lovely. Certainly wouldn't take him for the type to throw you off just by looking at him

He's as opinionated as he is pretty about how and when he wants to ride. He has his tricky moments and he's not a bucker, he's a spinner. The worst thing I ever did was teach him his reining moves, it gave him ideas

Ah, a horse with character it seems.
Never encountered a spinner. Quite a few trying to brush you off against the fence though...aside from the more normal means. So, it'd be like the reining spin then except unasked for?
Bareback it's a lot easier to fall off
