Quatro is a 2018 registered Friesian Sporthorse that is gentle, affec-
tionate and beginner safe. He is a home-raised, dark bay standing at
15.3 HH. He is super smooth in all his gaits carrying himself uphill
with cadence. Even folks who have never ridden before can sit his
slow trot. He is responsive to your aids but stays calm and quiet, on
a loose rein or collected. You feel as though you are floating as he lopes around.
He has a way of uplifting people’s spirits, not just my own. He leg yields, side
passes, picks up the lope from a walk, shoulder in or hip in, spins, opens and clos-
es gates, ponies other horses, and rides one or two handed in an English or western
saddle. It doesn’t matter to him – he knows his stuff. Quatro goes through anything
you point him at – bridges, water, steep hillsides, tires, culverts, traffic, baby stroll-
ers, skateboards, bikes and parades. He’s great on the trail any place in line or alone.
He just doesn’t care about what other horses are doing. Prepared or not, Quatro does
anything you ask as though he’s done it a million times. He is naturally a good-mind-
ed horse and is willing to do as he’s asked. He’s had a lot of different level of riders,
and they all comment on how much they love him on the trail or in the arena. Quatro
hasn’t ever needed a thing to just get on and ride, no matter how much time off.
Just saddle up and go. Quatro is in a lesson program and provides rides for a wide
array of riders. Each day he impresses me with his solid foundation that conforms
to his rider, making absolute beginners look amazingly talented. Quatro is extremely
friendly and loving to everyone! He is more like a dog than a horse. He is always
ready to greet you, craves attention, is forgiving, and is there for you when you need
him. “He’s so friendly that he will leave his breakfast to meet you,” said my 70-year-
old student as she caught him for her lesson. He just loves everyone and takes care
of all kinds of riders. As an example of his heart, I remember a time when he was in
a stall with a small run for a week. I saddled him up, still wet from a bath, loped him away from the barn alone through an open
field, down a lane that he’s never been on, to the start of his first parade. He was absolutely flawless. He loved everyone cheering
and waving to him. He’s an angel to clip, has had his teeth floated without sedation; he’s really an agreeable gentleman. He’s traveled a fair amount as well and seen a lot
of country in MT, UT, AZ and TX. He also packs, high lines and three-legged hobbles. He is the fourth foal from my mare Kayah; all of her babies have been beginner safe,
not herd bound, love water and are handy at opening gates on their own! He and his mother have also never needed shoes, having the hardest feet I’ve ever trimmed. All
of her six babies have been so good minded that inexperienced horse people have successfully started them and have kept them for life; none of them have left my valley.
I know for a fact Quatro will be sorely missed by my students and I. Here is your chance for a once-in-a-lifetime kind of horse. I’m certain that Quatro’s next home will be
his forever home. Please give me a call to talk about Quatro more.
