PLANNED SALES DATE: March 1st. Check our Facebook page for updates on training or to follow her progress.
Freya is an absolute sweetie pie that is in your pocket, loves people, and wants all of the attention from anyone that'll give it to her. She is fancy, stocky, unique, and is definitely a head stopper. The most difficult thing about Freya is keeping her clean!

Freya was purchased as a yearling by her former owner, and she had hands on and handling since. I decided to take Freya on as a prospect to get trained with intentions of rehoming once she is finished in my training program. I don't have a whole lot of information on Freya other than how she was for her former owner but no information regarding where she came from or her breeder unfortunately. Freya came knowing how to tie, pick of her hooves, stand for the farrier, load in the trailer, etc. basically had all of the basics already started and just needed to be started under saddle. So, she will be going through my full program and listed in the spring once she is finished. She already received 30 days of saddle preparation Summer of 2025, and I had begun to start her under saddle but had client horses in at the time and put Freya on the back burner so she will continue her education over winter/spring!
Living environment/Extra information:
Freya is used to being in a herd of 20+ horses. She's been pastured with mares, geldings. She is primarily on pasture from June 1st - October 31st. Then fed indoors over the cold months with ample turnout. She is used to primarily grass hay but also gets grass/alfalfa mix. We never feed straight alfalfa to our horses. She currently gets grain as a younger horse; we keep them on grain while they're growing. We believe Freya would do great in another herd or boarded somewhere with other horses; she would not make a good prospect as an only horse on the property. Freya is also not blanketed throughout winter unless we have extreme temps that call for it, and she is currently barefoot with no reason to shoe. Freya is respectful of fences; she has never gotten "loose" before even if our fence is off. She is currently pastured in all 4-5 strand hot wire fences. She has been stalled before and has no issues being in a stall, but it isn't something she does regularly. She will have exposure to the following if she hasn't already prior to sales date: Cows (from the pasture across the road), goats (from the pasture we ride past to get to the trails), dogs both on our property and dogs barking from other neighbors' property, vehicles, traffic, farm machinery, ATV's, chainsaws, fire, smoke.
Freya is a horse that likes her boundaries respected within the herd and while she doesn't seek out to hurt anyone on purpose or purposefully go after other horses, she won't tolerate being picked on or having her "space" invaded in a wrong manner and will stand up for herself. She does establish her dominance right off the bat when meeting new herd mates, by striking out, or warning, but she hasn't offered to do any serious damage or truly aggressive behavior. She also will not back down if a horse doesn't decide to listen and goes forth into trying to lower her rank. She just likes other horses to know that she is not to be messed with. She would not be considered a boss mare, but she definitely isn't going to be at the low end of the totem poll in any herd. She does get along with everyone in our herd though and is friendly once "dominance is established". If she is the only mare in a pasture or the most confident, I could definitely see her taking a boss mare roll though.
