“FRITZ”
2019 Grade QH gelding, about 15.3h

If you look up the definition of puppy dog personality, you will see a picture of this boy right next to it. I can’t say enough about how lovely this guy’s temperament is!

Fritz would love to live right in your pocket if you allow it but he’s Mr Polite about it. He’s great for all his handling, for his ground work and is super easy going in the pasture with his buddies.... (read more) He’s content to take direction and aims to please.

Undersaddle Fritz has proven to be more whoa than go. He does have some buttons but overall he’s most content to mosey around, whether that’s in the ring, the road or the trail. He will ride out alone and is not spooky, though tends to be a little looky/aware sometimes when solo. Has not offered any big reactions or opinions and is a genuinely good natured fella.

Fritz does have some limitations and is not being sold as a performance horse of any kind. He would love to be your easy peasy trail riding buddy or ride around the ring at slower paces. He would also likely flourish in a therapy or low level lesson horse situation. He was purchased by my client this past spring but unfortunately it was not known/disclosed that he had a previous kissing spines surgery. This has affected his topline and his hind end coordination. He is sound, but struggles to carry himself in the most organized manner due to his limitations. He has no true maintenance, though likely would love some body work occasionally to help him feel his best. It’s also recommended he not carry super heavy riders. Current back radiographs available for interested parties. I also have prior videos I can share of when he was more muscled and working consistently. If someone was to take their time and do it right, I do believe he can get back to some of that as well once he is in much better condition, but again, he is selling as a low level riding horse, not a performance horse.

A great home is very important! UTD on vax, coggins, and feet. Currently and has been barefoot without issues.
