Fresian x Clydesdale

Vaqueiro is a 15.3hh, 11yo Fresian x Clydesdale gelding with a very sweet, puppy dog personality, and a stunning look and presence about him that is straight out of a 18th century film.

Vaqueiro is lovely to ride, soft and responsive.

He has been on many trail rides, including beach rides, national parks, paddock rides, through town and to the pub.

Vaqueiro loves trail riding so I am looking for a home who is predominantly interested in this, however he would be great at some low level shows with training in those specific areas. He was started and trained in full by Free Rein Horsemanship using positive reinforcement and other kind training methods, focusing on self-regulation and two-way communication. He has 3 lovely paces and can stop on a dime with just a shift in weight. He can be ridden with a bit or bitless and has been trained to ground drive in harness.

Vaqueiro has excellent hooves which maintain themselves well between trims. He is a good do-er and has no itch, no scars or any previous issues or injuries.

Vaqueiro is suited to an intermediate to advanced rider, to avoid training bad behaviours. He is very intelligent, so he would easily progress or regress, depending on his rider. However he can be ridden by novice riders under competent supervision.

This gorgeous boy is an absolute pleasure and such a stunning horse who turns heads wherever he goes.

If you are interested in Vaqueiro, please message me with information about yourself, your experience and what you're looking for so I can give you an idea on whether you would be a good match.
