15-Year-Old Belgian Gelding | 17.1 Hands | Rides & Drives | Therapy Safe

If you have been searching for that big, beautiful Belgian that the entire family can safely enjoy, Champ is the kind that is extremely hard to find.

Champ is a 15-year-old Belgian gelding standing approximately 17.1 hands tall. He is the true definition of a gentle giant — big, beautiful, kind, quiet, patient, and dependable.

This is what we mean when we say FAMILY SAFE.

Champ is kid safe, husband safe, grandma safe, therapy safe, and true-beginner friendly. He has the quiet, forgiving personality that makes him suitable for riders who simply want to relax and enjoy their horse instead of worrying about what their horse might do next.

Whether you’re looking for a first horse, a confidence builder, a dependable mount for an older rider, or a horse the entire family can share, Champ checks the boxes.

TRUE BEGINNER & THERAPY SAFE

Champ is the kind of horse that gives people confidence.

He is quiet, patient, forgiving, and uncomplicated. He isn’t looking to take advantage of an inexperienced rider, and you don’t need to be a professional horseman to enjoy him.

His calm temperament and gentle nature also make him the type we consider therapy safe.

Champ is the kind of big horse you can put around people who may be nervous or inexperienced and let his calm personality do the talking. Despite standing 17.1 hands, he doesn’t act like a big intimidating horse.

He is simply a gentle giant with a kind heart and a good mind.

NICE WALK, TROT & CANTER

Don’t mistake safe and quiet for a horse that won’t ride.

Champ has a nice walk, trot, and canter and is enjoyable to ride. He will walk along quietly when that’s what you want, but when you ask him to trot or canter, he will willingly step up and do his job.

That gives him a great combination of whoa and go.

He rides both English and Western, making him a versatile horse for different riders in the family.

Whether you want to leisurely walk down the trail, trot around the arena, or enjoy a nice canter, Champ is happy to do it.

TRAIL RIDING PRO

If trail riding is what you enjoy, you’re going to love Champ.

He is a trail riding pro.

He has the steady, sensible attitude we want in a family trail horse. He is the type you can get on, relax, and enjoy the scenery instead of spending the entire ride worrying about your horse.

For us, a family-safe trail horse needs to have a good head on his shoulders, and Champ absolutely does.

He is bombproof, dependable, and sensible, making him an excellent choice for families who want to spend their weekends out enjoying the trails together.

RIDES ENGLISH OR WESTERN

Champ doesn’t care what kind of saddle you put on him.

He rides English or Western and is straightforward and uncomplicated either way.

He can be enjoyed by different members of the family with different riding backgrounds. Mom can ride him English, Dad can throw a Western saddle on him, the kids can enjoy him, and Grandma can take a relaxing ride.

That’s what makes a horse like Champ so special — he doesn’t have to belong to just one rider. He can be the family’s horse.

RIDES AND DRIVES

Champ is also broke to drive and will drive both single and double.

That makes him even more versatile. Saddle him up and go trail riding one day, then hitch him up and enjoy a drive another day.

A big Belgian that is this quiet, rides nicely, and also drives is the type that can give a family years of enjoyment.

FRIENDLY & EASY TO CATCH

Champ’s gentle nature isn’t limited to when you’re riding him.

He is friendly, easy to catch, and enjoyable to have around the barn.

He likes attention and has the kind of personality that makes people want to spend time with him.

For a true family horse, we believe ground manners are every bit as important as riding ability. Families don’t just ride their horses — they groom them, lead them, spend time with them, and make memories with them.

Champ is the type that makes all of that enjoyable.

THE KIND OF HORSE THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN ENJOY

Champ’s greatest quality is his temperament.

There are plenty of big draft horses out there. There are plenty of horses that experienced riders can ride.

But finding a 17.1-hand Belgian that is bombproof, therapy safe, beginner friendly, rides English and Western, has a nice walk/trot/canter, is a trail riding pro, AND drives single or double is something completely different.

Champ gives you the size and beauty of a Belgian without sacrificing the safety and dependability families need.

He is:

Kid safe.
Husband safe.
Grandma safe.
Therapy safe.
Beginner safe.
FAMILY SAFE.

Whether you’re an experienced horse family or you’re looking for a horse to help someone gain confidence, Champ is the type you can build memories around.
