16.3hh | 9year old | bay Thoroughbred gelding

'Freddie' is a stunning horse bred by Juddmonte and is by top USA stallion Quality Road, with full history known from a foal.

The quality of his breeding is clear to see, he is a great example of a classic TB with lots of bone, good conformation and visually very impressive. Freddie ran a handful of times on the flat and in 2 P2Ps in Ireland and was just too slow and not made for racing.

We have been retraining Freddie since we purchased him from Ireland in 2021. He is good to hack alone or in company, good to catch, shoe, box etc. Well schooled on the flat, competed in unaffiliated dressage, arena eventing, show jumping and enjoyed XC schooling up to 90cm and unaffiliated ODEs.

Freddie has plenty of scope with potential to go up the levels in time; he is currently most comfortable popping 80-90cm fences and courses, where he is developing confidence and really starting to take you into a fence. Freddie won his two arena eventing outings this spring, and is qualified for the 80cm National Arena Eventing Championships at Elland Lodge next year. He has also undertaken some RoR showing, winning championships at local shows and we feel he could really excel in the show ring.

Freddie is not your typical TB, in that he is definitely more of a kick than pull type and is ridden in a snaffle and cavesson at all times.

He would be perfect for a competent rider to do a bit of everything with and have some fun on, or to be more focused down the eventing, dressage or showing route. Whilst Freddie is very laid back most of the time, he can still have TB moments where he takes confidence from the rider, so only a knowledgeable and competent home with experience of TBs for this lovely chap.

Happy to live in or out, up to date with teeth, feet and vaccs. No vices, fit, sound and ready to go.

We have put a lot of time and effort into this kind and genuine chap, but personal circumstances force this very difficult sale. Genuine enquiries only please.
