"North" is your work all day type of horse. He will go for as long as you ask him. He's crossed water, drug logs, gone under highways, crossed bridges, rode through the Black Hills, climbed up rocky hills, and been around cattle. I have him SLIGHTLY patterned on barrels and poles. He knows the pattern enough to slow lope. He's the type that wants to please you. Super gentle, in your pocket type horse. You could train him to do 10 events and he'd still do more. He'd best suited for an advanced rider because he is a forward moving horse, he has more go then woah. Super sensitive to the reins and your legs.
