Family and I are grooming Remington then we will ride a bit.
Remington is a triple registered Spanish Jennet Horse.
Here is some more info on the breed. Taken from this website:

In the Middle Ages, the Spanish Jennet Horse (Pinto Paso or Paso Tiger Horse) reflected his lofty Spanish heritage in his crisp, smooth gait, his proud and elegant carriage, and in his brilliant colors and flashy patterns. He was the mount of choice of all European nobility.
The Spanish Jennet Horse (Pinto Paso or Paso Tiger Horse) has a bold, energetic appearance. He possesses strength, stamina, and elegance. His conformation is well proportioned, with moderation being the key concept. Extreme muscling is not typical and would detract from the desired appearance of great refinement. The Spanish Jennet (Pinto Paso or Paso Tiger Horse) is typically 13.2 to 15.2 hands. Increasing size tends to reduce the typical and much-desired agility of the breed.
Temperaments are energetic but gentle. The Spanish Jennet is highly intelligent and tractable; a real people-pleasing horse. No small wonder the Spanish Jennet was the horse of choice of Medieval and Renaissance European nobility and royalty.
The birthright of the Spanish Jennet is the true Paso gait.
The Paso gait of the Spanish Jennet (like that of all Paso horses) is completely natural and frequently exhibited at birth. It is a four-beat, ever-so-slightly lateral gait with each foot contacting the ground independently in a regular sequence at precise intervals creating a rapid, unbroken rhythm.
