Aantrekkelijke Holsteiner merrie

Frieda is a 6-year-old mare by Chezarro, out of a Christo-Landgraf dam. She was gently backed at the age of four and has since performed reliably in show jumping and dressage at solid A-level. Unfortunately, due to health issues, I have had to give her regular breaks, and she has only been shown at a few competitions. Nevertheless, she has always been very well-behaved and could start competing immediately.

Her true passion is clearly jumping. She approaches each fence with a healthy enthusiasm and a strong desire to succeed, but she is not strong or headstrong. She jumps both close and long distances, forgiving rider errors and avoiding her own mistakes. Despite her limited experience, she excels in course strategy and demonstrates great courage. She is not spooky; she handles obstacles and water crossings without issue.

Dressage is not her strongest suit. She works willingly and her gaits are decent, but she is not a perfect dressage horse. She still lacks relaxation in her dressage work, although this improves with regular training. She has mastered the basics and we are just beginning to work on lateral movements.

In handling, Frieda is straightforward. She loads well, is familiar with turnout and training away from home, and behaves well with the farrier and vet. We haven't done much trail riding yet, but she was relaxed and focused at the beach. She walked calmly through water, both behind and ahead of the rider. She stays in her stable at night and is part of a mixed group during the day, where she is very social and easygoing.

We wish for her to continue to enjoy proper, species-appropriate care with sufficient turnout and social contact.

Frieda is an absolute sweetheart and is being sold only due to my health issues. She is still only 6 years old and not suitable for beginners or insecure riders. She has never been lame or injured so far, but no health certificate (AKU) is available—though it can be arranged if desired.
