Dude - 27 Year Old Gelding
I started riding Dude when he was 18. He was a lazy, spoiled, stubborn barn sour horse, who would spin everytime he didn't get his way. He also refused to back-up. 
It took me about eight months to fix him, and he turned out to be a good shooting horse as well as a kids' horse. And he now even backs up when asked to. In 2007, Dude happily retired at the age of 22 as a kids' horse on a small ranch in Wyoming with a family who LOVE him!
