Freya
15.3 4yr Friesian x cob mare
Freya was lightly backed last year in her previous home in walk and trot and did a few steady pleasure rides. She was then purchased by my client and given the autumn/winter off and brought back into work gently including groundwork, walking in the arena and some hacking from March.
She is currently working sweetly in the fields independently, responsive but not reactive, you can put your leg on without getting orbited! She has just started some basic canter work which she is enjoying.
She tries hard to please and naturally works in a nice shape, she will be very smart. She is starting to find her balance and confidence in herself and showing some really nice work.
She has been ridden by an 11yr old and was very kind.
She is hacking well in company, happy to lead, not been phased by any of the traffic we have seen out and about inc tractors, vans, bikes etc and used to the vehicles on the farm. She has been out alone with us with someone on foot, she looks at a bit more (static things) when alone and benefits from support and confidence from her rider, as you'd expect from most 4yr olds, but this has improved greatly now she knows us and puts her trust in us.
She enjoys some pole work and is careful where she puts her feet. She has popped a couple of logs in the field which she caught onto quickly and made a sweet little shape.
She 'parks' for a mounting block, she also longreins well, and lunges.
She settled really quickly, is happy in or out and is nice and easy to have around. She has no vices, but anything left within reach does go in her mouth!
She's good to catch, lead, load, travel, trim (barefoot), bath, for the vet etc.
She enjoys a groom and a fuss and is very loving.
We are looking for someone capable of carrying on producing her now, she'll do a number of jobs in time and be very versatile.
Due to her age she is not suitable for someone nervous/novice/1st horse/rusty, she needs someone capable of continuing her education properly and creating a partnership.
She's up to date with everything and passed a 2 stage vetting when purchased, although obviously open to another suitable vetting (she's not cantering 10m circles yet!).
Home is of top priority.
Price to include bridle and rugs.
No loans or trials
Please don't be offended if I ask for your experience/videos etc, it's important I don't waste anyone's time with unsuitable viewings and/or upset her with the wrong riders. She's very forgiving for her age but is just a baby!
If no answer please drop me a message and I'll ring back ASAP.
She is on sales livery.
