Lucy

Lucy is the kind of horse that turns heads and wins hearts wherever she goes. A 5 year old standing a proud 16.3 hands, this striking blue roan is a registered Friesian Sport Horse cross between a Friesian and a Percheron—giving her the best of both worlds: the quiet strength and presence of the draft, paired with the athleticism and agility of the Friesian. With her solid, muscular frame, clean legs, Lucy is a true standout in any setting. Her glistening roan coat adds to her eye-catching appeal, and her gentle, kind expression shows her willing and thoughtful nature. Lucy is the definition of dependable. She has years of trail experience under her belt and has been exposed to a wide range of environments and situations. From quiet country paths to bustling state roads, Lucy takes everything in stride. Whether she is crossing creeks, weaving through wooded trails, navigating new terrain, or riding alongside traffic, she stays calm, focused, and steady. She has been trailered to various locations and handles loading and unloading with complete ease. Every time you pull her out, she is ready to work with the same consistent, level-headed attitude. She has been used to check cows and is confident around livestock, water crossings, and all types of terrain. Whether you are riding through a creek or climbing hills, Lucy is surefooted, willing, and steady. She is also extremely desensitized, she’s seen tarps, jugs, and whips, and she takes it all in stride without hesitation. She is unbothered by sudden movement or unusual sights and sounds, making her a perfect partner for riders who want safety, reliability, and peace of mind in the saddle. One of the qualities that truly sets Lucy apart is her gentle and accommodating nature. She is senior-safe, meaning she is not just quiet and calm, but also patient and forgiving. She takes extra care with her rider, adjusts her energy to match her rider’s confidence level, and is the kind of horse that makes people feel comfortable and secure, whether they are in their seventies or just getting back in the saddle after time away. She is equally suitable for beginners, nervous riders, and folks who simply want a horse that will take care of them. In the barn, Lucy is well mannered. She stands quietly for grooming, tacking, farrier work, and bathing. She gets along well with other horses and is an easy keeper. Under saddle, Lucy is a joy to ride. She side-passes right up to the mounting block and has excellent manners. She neck reins with one hand, transitions smoothly between gaits, and carries herself with balance and grace. Her walk, trot, and canter are all incredibly smooth, making her comfortable to ride for long days in the saddle or relaxed evening rides. She responds to light leg and seat cues and has the kind of handle that both casual and experienced riders will appreciate. Lucy currently wears shoes on her front feet due to the rockiness where she is ridden, but she has strong feet and could go barefoot if your riding environment allows. She is up to date on all vaccinations, dental care, and deworming, and is in excellent health, sound, and ready to go. Whether you are looking for a solid trail partner, a dependable ranch horse, or simply a quiet companion to enjoy the ride—she checks every box.
