Introducing Fred – a truly beautiful 5-year-old skewbald gelding standing at a perfect 15.2hh. Fred is a striking, well-put-together horse who turns heads wherever he goes. With his distinctive colouring and elegant build, he combines both beauty and talent in one impressive package.
Fred has already had a taste of the hunting field, having hunted twice, and also has experience in driving, showing his versatility and calm temperament. He is a super mover with a naturally flowing, eye-catching trot and a smooth, comfortable canter that makes him a joy to ride. He works softly in a snaffle, carries himself in a lovely outline, and shows real potential for the show ring thanks to his elegant paces and balance.
In the jumping arena, Fred continues to shine. He has been jumping confidently over 90cm here, with the quality and scope to go higher. His jumping technique is impressive – neat, careful, and honest – making him an absolute pleasure to ride into a fence. Whether you’re looking for a horse to enjoy show jumping, eventing, or cross-country, Fred has all the ingredients to excel. He has been schooled over cross-country fences and proves to be brave and bold, showing both talent and willingness in every session.
Fred’s temperament is just as outstanding as his abilities. He is a kind, gentle, and affectionate horse who always comes up to greet you in the field. He loves attention and cuddles, making him a true yard favourite and a pleasure to have around. His calm and easy-going nature makes him an ideal candidate for a novice rider, a mother-daughter share, or even a riding school. He would also be perfectly suited to a happy hacking home or anyone looking to enjoy riding club level activities in any discipline.
Out hacking, Fred is extremely reliable both alone and in company. He is confident in traffic and used to all types of farm machinery, showing his level-headed and sensible nature. He is quiet and straightforward in all aspects – easy to catch, shoe, box, clip, and handle in all situations.
Fred is an ideal all-rounder with no stable vices and is open to any vetting. He is the type of horse that is very hard to find – safe, talented, and with a wonderful attitude towards work and people alike.
