He can be a bit of a butt about it . While training you need to repeat each step till he really gets it but if things get to hard to handle for him he'll simply just leave – mentally , emotionally , and physically if possible .
Backstreet is a fine mount with a lot of potential just needs the right rider . He has fairly good training under his belt but he does have his training vices .
