What to say about Buttons... he's Terrific with a capital T!!
A few years back he completed the Winter Series Dressage with our 4 year old daughter and took 2nd place overall... what a hero! He LOVES children and loves to show off some of his tricks! He's 36 years young and still loves galloping around in the forestry and, on occasion, still attends Waimea Pony Club!
