ONE IN A MILLION mare who is ready to hit the trails and beyond. She’s been born and raised around chaos and craziness and has had more exposure than most older horses. DID YOU KNOW: The Rocky Mountain horse is a rare breed currently recovering from the Livestock Conservatory Threatened list.
R2 Estranged, more affectionately known as “Freya,” is a gem to be around and extremely broke & gentle for the whole family! Imagine a perfect kid’s breakaway or gymkhana prospect! Freya is a STUNNING, GENTLE, SWEETHEART kind of horse guaranteed to turn heads while she gaits in her most showy, comfortable little step. It’s no surprise, though; she was born of multiple international grand champions on both sides! Her siblings are gentle trail horses speckled through the United States. She is from a long line of foundation stock within the Rocky breed, known as the ultimate “all-around horse.”
This breed is coveted for its rarity, gentleness, smooth, easy gaits, and beauty. Owning Freya would ensure a place for this wonderful breed in the future. You can also consider having a premium foal or two if you like. They are a pleasure to own and raise—ask any Rocky owner. They are truly versatile, as we say: ONE HORSE FOR ALL OCCASIONS. This horse has greatness in her eyes!
Freya is a sorrel, which may not be what you typically see when researching a Rocky (this is a standard color 100% possible in the Rockies). However, she carries a silver dapple gene, so she can produce chocolate foals! It is our professional experience that with one silver gene, Freya will continue to have issue-free eyes throughout her lifetime (you may hear about this. We assure you this horse is problem-free genetically).
Freya is the calmest, most level-headed family-type horse you’re able to find. She seems to have been graced with one of the easiest personalities to tote adults on trail and kids while playing games (i.e. egg and spoon, red light green light, gymkhana). Freya is young yet, but she has the personality of a tenured horse! I believe she would be best suited for an average horseman due to her age, but she will soon gain just about any style rider’s trust. Freya is so gentle and kind, & absolutely no vices. For the rider looking to “level up” and ride with all your aids or to start to show in upper-level events, Freya has all the training “buttons” to allow the advanced rider the potential to do ANYTHING in your performance horse dreams! Side pass, turn on the fore, turn on the hind, leg yield, nice back, shoulder in, etc. She has a nice soft mouth that is suggested for those who can adapt to soft hands. She gives very nicely to the bridle. This is the horse that everyone is searching for.
First and foremost, Freya is a trail horse extraordinaire with an ultra-smooth gait. ANYONE CAN FIGURE OUT. She is natural in her god-given gaits! Folks may say “naturally gaited” about their horses, and they really are not. Freya on the other hand will gait and gait and gait, no matter what it’s SMOOTH. Freya is a DUAL PURPOSE type horse not everyone can find… when asked, she can cover some ground if you like to ride with gaited horses OR walk as SLOW as you wish with AQHAs. Typically, she is most comfortable with a medium gait, is low-headed, and is not too fast. Ride bareback, english, western, trail obstacle, jumps, drives, ride double, the foundation to sort cows, heel or head and drag all the calves you need, side pass to gates, she will work so many jobs for you! She’s happy to be in the front, middle, or back when out on trails. When she meets an object she is unsure of- she mostly stops and looks- possibly just a little jump, but that’s it- NO bolting, running away, or other shenanigans. She calms down with any excitement with just a few aids from her rider- just a little circle or disengage, and she is right back to work- she does not maintain excited behavior.
Freya trailers beautifully (walking in the trailer and backing out), stands to mount quietly and is perfect for the farrier, clipping, bathing, saddling, and bridling. This horse is as close to bomb-proof as possible – perfect for the entire family to enjoy. Not spooky – exposed to multi-use trail systems, wildlife, bicycles, joggers, cows, goats, sheep, dogs, and donkeys. Freya rides best with an average active rider… she will goat up the steepest slopes, across water and bridges, over downed trees, and through the roughest terrain. Traffic sane and safe. NO vices, ties, clips, and bathes, goes through all obstacles like a champ. She is solid as a rock & an easy keeper. She is laid back, super friendly, with a very easygoing personality. Great with all types of horses turned out in the pasture. She’s perfect for that dressage enthusiast who wants a gaited ride that’s a no-brainer-trick to achieve- she gives her nose and lowers her head nicely! Also, the only true gaited specimen that can offer up a nice spring to the spine – you can truly feel that lift and drive into collection… naturally! Freya is one of the smoothest gaited horses we have trained while in business for over 15 years and over 200 gaited horses.
Freya is the type of horse you can put away for months and return to as the same horse you left! A comfortable horse in all environments – she appreciates short term in a stall but is largely maintained on pasture. She enjoys a high-quality first-crop forage in the wintertime. Although Freya is a Mare, she has not been moody or marish. She fits in at the bottom to the middle of the herd and gets along well with others! She has a puppy-dog personality and is easy to catch. She’s ready to make your dream a reality with these features: -Walk, evenly timed four-beat gait/ambling saddle rack, Canter Undersaddle And Over Obstacles -Stop -Back -Trail Ride (Cross Water, Logs, Etc.) -Obstacle Course -Desensitized -Arena Work -Gymkhana -Endurance -Ride In A Halter -Ride In A Snaffle Bit/ bosal -Direct Rein -Neck Reining -Mounting from ground and block -Spins/Pivots/shoulder in -Side Pass -Gaited Dressage -Leads without pressure -Lowers head for bridle -Ties effortlessly -Respects Personal Space ⁃Ground tie ⁃Kid acclimated ⁃Trail ride ⁃Guns ⁃Bull whips ⁃Bareback -Liberty -100% Natural Horsemanship.
