Personality

Magnum may be one of the smallest horses at Roots, but he’s also one of the strongest, and one of the most handsome, with his rich chestnut coat. He’s full of personality, very friendly and always interested in what you’re doing. He loves affection, is always happy to give and receive a kiss, and his clever, inquisitive nature means he notices everything going on around him. His size and lovely temperament make him a great match for many of our younger riders.

Friendly, clever, inquisitive, affectionate and small but mighty.
