FORD

11-Year-Old • 16.2 Hand • Belgian × Haflinger Gelding

RIDES & DRIVES • STOCKY • SEASONED • KID SAFE • HUSBAND SAFE

Ford is the kind of gelding that is hard to find.

At 16.2 hands, he isn’t overly tall for a draft cross, but don’t let that fool you — this boy is built like a tank. He is thick, stocky, powerful, and has the substance to comfortably carry a larger rider while still being gentle and dependable enough for the whole family.

Ford is kid safe, husband safe, and seasoned, but he isn’t just a slow trail horse. Take him into the arena and ask him to work, and he’ll pick up the correct leads and lope around nicely.

And to make him even more versatile, Ford is also broke to drive.

He gives you that hard-to-find combination of SAFE + BROKE + VERSATILE + FUN.

🌲 SEASONED TRAIL HORSE

If you’re looking for a seasoned trail horse that you can actually relax and enjoy, Ford deserves a serious look.

He is sensible, dependable, and experienced, with the size and build to carry weight comfortably. Whether you’re riding around the farm, heading down the trail, or spending hours in the saddle, Ford is the type of gelding you can enjoy without constantly having to babysit him.

🐎 RIDES & DRIVES

Ford isn’t a one-job horse. He is broke to both ride and drive, giving his next family plenty of options.

Under saddle, he has done lessons, trail riding, and arena work. He will walk, trot, and lope and knows how to pick up the correct leads.

He’s forgiving enough for less experienced riders while still having enough education and ability that a knowledgeable rider can have a lot of fun with him.

🦊 HUNT FIELD POTENTIAL

We think Ford could make an amazing hunt-field horse.

He has the bone, substance, temperament, and athletic ability that people love in a good draft cross — and he can take a jump.

For someone looking for a safe, sturdy gelding for foxhunting, recreational jumping, trail obstacles, or simply an incredibly versatile family horse, Ford checks a lot of boxes.

💪 BUILT LIKE A TANK

Ford is thick, stocky, and built to carry weight. His Belgian × Haflinger breeding gives him plenty of bone and substance while keeping him at a very manageable 16.2 hands.

If you’ve been searching for a horse with enough body for a larger rider without needing a towering 17+ hand draft horse, Ford may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
