No- percheron/ quarter horse cross.
She was a big girl with great manners so she got the big (or scared) guests but she was usually smarter then her riders so she got away with being lazy and eating on the trail. No matter where I put her in line, she’d take advantage and drop back one spot after another til she was at the rear and then she’d rail further and further back. I would constantly call back “ come on, Susie!” And her ears would perk up and she’d take two or three quicker steps while I was looking and then go back to browsing. It was pretty hilarious but frustrating too. when we didn’t have any heavyweight guests and I didn’t have a guide-only horse working, I would take her myself and her personality was transformed. All business, ears up, looking around, She was a great lead horse.
