A little bit about Nokomis:

I purchased Nokomis as a 4yo. He had been raced 2 or 3 times. He was absolutely beautiful.
Nokomis had a very interesting personality, silly and a total scardey cat! However he was a very talented Dressage horse. We won many year end awards in Dressage, even though I was eventing at the time. He was slightly afraid of jumping!

We schooled some XC, and then attended a Lucinda Green Clinic at Ledyard at the BN level.We ended up showing thru USEA Training Level. We have decent success. Every now and then we had a refusal at a ditch. He had to be ridden very bold to all fences, but no matter what he tried to be brave!

When I look back I realize he should have been a dressage horse. He was a very bulky TB. He looked great in the dressage ring, and he had a lot of talent. I am sure he could have went up the level a bit. However, at the time I was eventing.

He was a wonderful teacher for me, and just had just the silliest personality. I am so glad that I was lucky enough to be able to learn from him.
