Talented & Beautiful Friesian Crossbred Gelding (Manny) for sale in Iowa

Manny is a 6 year old Friesian/Standardbred registered gelding. He stands a solid and sturdy 16.1 hands.

Manny is broke the absolute very best to ride and drive. You can drive him single or in a pair, ride him English, western, or bareback. He was born and raised on an Amish farm for the first few years of his life. He was used for all aspects of farm work and to drive to town and church. We have taken him on all sorts of trail rides and even used him for riding and driving lessons. You can literally ride or drive this horse through anything, even in town, through the drive through or down the wooded trail. You can ride him daily, once a week, or once a month and he is always the same consistent horse.

He has the beautiful look of a Friesian with his gorgeous long mane and tail and the work ethic of a Standardbred. He is very willing and loves to work. He always gives you 100% and a ton of try no matter what you ask of him. He is the kind of horse you can train on and he never refuses the work.

He is the type of horse that would go great in to a training program and quickly move up the dressage levels. At this point in his training, his only fault is he needs more training on learning on how to carry himself.

Whether you are looking for a horse to advance through the stages of dressage or just looking for a dependable mount for anyone to ride or drive, he checks those boxes.

He can be shod or go barefoot. He can be alone, stalled, or turned out with other horses. He has excellent ground manners; stands in the cross ties, wash rack for bathing, for tacking/untacking, hitching/unhitching, stands still for mounting.

Manny is at the perfect age where he is ready for any long term career whether it be trail riding, eventing, dressage, or combined driving. He has had some experience with jumping as well and shows potential.

If you are looking for your next partner to take in any direction you please then Manny is your guy!
