PEARL
12-Year-Old Haflinger–Percheron Cross Mare • 15 Hands • Rides & Drives
Where do you find a combination like this?
Pearl is an extraordinary 12-year-old Haflinger–Percheron cross mare standing 15 hands tall. She offers the strength and substance of a draft horse in a shorter, incredibly convenient package—making her powerful enough for a larger rider while still being easy to mount and enjoyable for the entire family.
Pearl is built like a tank, beautiful to look at, and absolutely dependable. She is the rare kind of mare that is every bit as safe and trustworthy as she is useful.
BOMBPROOF • KID SAFE • FAMILY SAFE
Pearl is the definition of bombproof.
She is quiet, sensible, forgiving, and dependable—the kind of mare that takes care of her rider and gives the entire family confidence. Children can safely enjoy her, beginners can relax on her, and experienced riders will appreciate just how uncomplicated and trustworthy she is.
Pearl is not easily bothered and does not require an experienced rider to keep her under control. She is steady, patient, and genuinely enjoyable to ride and handle.
She is the horse you reach for when safety matters most.
STRONG ENOUGH FOR A LARGER RIDER
This is one of the things that makes Pearl so special.
Her substantial Haflinger–Percheron build allows her to comfortably carry riders up to 350 pounds, yet at only 15 hands, she is short enough that you can actually mount her without needing a ladder.
Pearl provides the strength and carrying ability people want in a large draft horse without the intimidating height. That makes her an exceptionally rare and desirable type of horse.
SMOOTH, COMFORTABLE & EASY TO RIDE
Pearl has a wonderfully smooth trot and a slow, comfortable lope that feels more like riding a finished Quarter Horse than a heavy draft cross.
Her easygoing movement makes her especially enjoyable for beginners, children, larger riders, and anyone wanting a horse they can comfortably ride for more than a few minutes.
She is not the kind that rushes through her gaits. Pearl stays relaxed and gives her rider a steady, confidence-building ride.
AN IDEAL VAULTING PROSPECT
With her broad, strong back, manageable height, quiet temperament, and smooth movement, Pearl would make an ideal vaulting horse.
She offers the substantial build needed for stability while remaining short enough to make mounting and working around her much easier. Her patient disposition and smooth trot give her excellent potential for a vaulting program, therapeutic program, lesson barn, or family looking for an exceptionally steady and versatile horse.
BROKE TO RIDE & DRIVE
Pearl is well broke to both ride and drive, giving her the versatility to suit nearly any family or program.
Saddle her for a relaxing ride, let the children enjoy her, or harness her for a peaceful afternoon drive. She is experienced, dependable, and uncomplicated in either setting.
Pearl is also carriage safe and has the quiet, sensible mind needed to make driving enjoyable. She is the kind you can hitch with confidence and trust to handle the job calmly.
