Moose

MOOSE

12-Year-Old Belgian Gelding | 17 Hands

Bombproof Safe • Husband Safe • Athletic • Gentle Giant • Foxhunting Prospect

Meet Moose, a gorgeous 12-year-old, 17-hand Belgian gelding who offers a combination that can be hard to find in a big draft horse: he is incredibly safe and sensible, but he is also athletic, willing, and FUN to ride.

Moose is the definition of a gentle giant. On the ground, he is a big teddy bear with a kind, easygoing personality. His size may be impressive, but his demeanor is quiet and gentle.

SAFE WITHOUT BEING LAZY

Moose is what we consider husband safe. If you want to walk along and enjoy a relaxing ride, Moose is perfectly content to do exactly that.

But he isn’t a horse you have to fight with when you want a little more.

Ask him to pick up the pace, and he will!

Moose will walk, trot, and canter around the arena and is surprisingly athletic for a big Belgian. He will also take a jump and genuinely seems to enjoy doing it.

That makes Moose an excellent choice for someone who wants the brain and dependability of a safe draft horse without giving up the ability to do more.

🦊 FOXHUNTING POTENTIAL

We think Moose could make an AWESOME foxhunting horse.

He has the size, substance, athletic ability, and sensible mind for the job. He is not a spooky horse, and he has enough motor when asked that a rider can actually enjoy him rather than constantly pushing him forward.

Whether you’re looking for a big trail partner, an arena horse, a husband horse, or something to develop further for foxhunting, Moose has a lot to offer.

BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Moose has been ridden in our program by a confident beginner and up.

He is forgiving and sensible, but because he will trot, canter, jump, and has the size and power that come with being a 17-hand Belgian, we describe him as best suited for a confident beginner or above rather than portraying him as a completely push-button horse for every rider.

He can slow down, walk along, and take care of his rider when that’s what you want.

Then when you’re ready to pick up the pace, canter around the arena, pop over a jump, or head out for an adventure, Moose is ready to participate.

Moose isn’t just a big draft horse — he’s a big teddy bear with an athletic side. 🧸🐴
