Fridge

16.2h 6 yo draft x gelding

Cowpens, SC – just outside Tryon, NC

 

If you want a horse who will turn heads everywhere he goes, meet Fridge. He’s the perfect blend of presence, power, sensibility, and kindness.

 

Fridge has an outstanding hunting resume and has successfully hunted in ALL flights across the country including Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, and Georgia. He has packed a wide variety of riders, including several first-time foxhunters, and always gives a confident, dependable ride.

 

✔ Excellent with hounds

✔ Stands quietly at checks

✔ Confident to lead a flight, whip-in, or happily follow

✔ Hunts comfortably in a snaffle

✔ Sensitive to the aids yet forgiving and kind

✔ Jumping up to 3’3” out hunting with a slightly supportive rider including coops, stone walls, and natural terrain

✔ Loves water & handles boggy crossings with ease

 

Though still somewhat green in the ring and on cross-country courses, Fridge is incredibly willing, honest, and eager to please. He is showing lovely potential to develop into:

 

• A low-level eventer

• A dressage partner

• Or a lovely Hunter type with time and mileage

 

He does not need to live in a program to stay rideable—pull him out any day of the week to hunt or trail ride. He is trail safe, traffic safe, confident alone or in company.

 

Fridge is soft, comfortable, and pleasant to ride—absolutely suitable as an enjoyable ladies’ mount, but also stout enough to carry and get along beautifully with male riders.

He is progressing well in the arena with a steady walk, trot, canter in the bridle or on a loose rein. Moves off the leg, light in the mouth, and has excellent brakes.

 

• Best suited to an intermediate rider or above to continue helping build confidence

• 100% sound – no previous injuries

• Exceptional hoof quality (currently in shoes)

• Easy keeper, but doesn’t blow up on lush grass

• Loads and trailers well

• Loves people & enjoys attention

 

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind unicorn with brains, presence, and the resume to back it up, Fridge is ready to be your next great partner.
