About Horse:

Meet Flyer. He’s a registered Friesian sports horse. His registered name is Taking A Flyer On You. Dad was a full Friesian, and Mom was a Quarter Horse. He is 15.3 hands tall and is still growing and filling out. To describe him with one word, I would use the word Gentle. He’s very gentle, laid back, docile, and quiet. He’s very easy to work with and aims to please you. He has a puppy dog-like personality, is extremely friendly, and wants to be in your pocket. He’s so easy and quiet to work with that he trains just like a dog; he knows how to lie down, heel, stay, and come when called. He’ll go over any big obstacle you ask of him. He does NOT scare easily. He’s excellent with all kinds of traffic. And he’s only 2 years old, going on 3 years this year.

“Flyer” is used to dogs; he doesn’t mind picking them up and giving them rides around. He knows the lay-down cue, so he’ll lay down and pick you up if you need to. He also stands still to mount at the mounting block or from the ground. He has a very smooth lope and will pop right into it right off of a walk. He picks up both leads and knows how to move off of your leg. He stops well off of your seat and has a good backup.

“Flyer” is the type of horse that really wants to please you. It is also very smart and catches on quickly. I could see him doing well as a lesson horse or going into dressage, as he has that very gentle, quiet disposition. He’s very safe and has never offered to do anything crazy. I would trust him in an arena where he gives lessons because he has that very laid-back, easy-going personality and is very forgiving. And he’s very safe again, and he does NOT spook easily.

Out on trails, he does excellent; he doesn’t care much about the wildlife, turkeys, deer, swans, porcupines, etc. He crosses any creek, river, logs, or bridges. He has an old soul for a young horse he’s just that quiet I would say if you can’t ride Flyer, you should not be riding horses. I cannot stress enough how quiet and gentle he is, and that is why I wouldn’t hesitate one second to use him for lessons in an arena; I trust him that well. And he’ll do a trail obstacle course at the barn for you too if you like to do the obstacle courses, he’s ready and willing to please and NOT afraid to tackle it.

And he’s not your typical young horse that needs to be ridden every day of the week. You can let him sit for a few weeks, and he’ll be the same horse. Now, I’m not going to say let him sit. He’s a smart puppy, loves to have a job, and wants to learn more and please you. He’s very people-friendly and loves all the attention he can get. He walks right up to the fence anytime he sees you. Just whistle, and he’ll come right up. It’s very easy to catch.

If you come see to him and you don’t fall in love with his soul after meeting him, I think you’re crazy I just can’t say enough about how sweet he is. He wins anyone over right away at the first meet and greet. So come check him out. If you are interested, you won’t be disappointed. I forgot to mention he’ll ride double if you want, and he doesn’t care a bit if he is left in the back of the pack when you are out riding. He’ll separate on the trail and ride away from home alone. He has NO bad habits, vices, or special maintenance. He stands excellent for the Ferrier and can go shod or unshod. Gets along out in the herd; it doesn’t matter if it’s with mares or geldings.

He loads right up in the trailer and backs out fine. He stands quiet when tied, and he cross-ties. Suitable for tacking up. He’s been started the right way with natural horsemanship training and a little bit of liberty work. He has the trail miles under his cinch. He has a been there done that type of attitude. I’m sure you can see from his videos how quiet he is, and if you come to see him in person, you will fall in love immediately. But don’t pass him up. He’s this good and impressive now. I think how much more he’ll be in just a couple more years. He’s 15.3 hands now, could finish out over 16 hands, and definitely will bulk out more. His full brother was built the same way and had the same personality at the same age, and now that full brother is over 16 hands and very bulked out. And Flyer is charting out to be the same.

With Flyer, you start with a horse with the proper training and history. He was bred and raised right on the farm. His Dad was a well-known Friesian in this area because he always threw foals with quiet temperaments like Flyer’s. He has a current Coggins, vet check, Vaccines, and dewormings. Just call if you have any questions or want to see him.

OPEN BIDDING ON THEHORSEBAY.COM ENDS ON 1/15 @ 4:00 PM CT. More information is available on the website, including an UTD vet inspection, Coggins, video, images, and the owner's contact information to ask questions, request information, or make arrangements to come to visit.
