The Finnhorse
Our horses
Our horses

Our horse family consists of 6 Finn horses, 5 quarter horses, 2 ponies and one Dutch showjumping horse.

For us it is important that our horses do live "real horse life" when they have their days-off. When they are turned freely out they do live in herds  without any halters. They may make friends and express their natural behaviour in herd. We do believe this makes them mentally balanced and calm and nice to handle while working.

FINN HORSES:

LIMBO

dark chestnut

Gentle natured, friendly gelding - always willing to co-operate! Sometimes has funny own ideas by proposing all possible alternatives while quessing the rider's thoughts.
Even roughly built, very light to ride. When ridden well, he collects nicely to the highest point of his own ability.
Great friend of people and other horses.

Humorous and experienced horse who really quickly estimates riders abilities. Very reliable horse and often used also for first timers - as he does his job in spite of the rider. He can really save himself. Experienced also working on the arena and  can collect himself nicely.  Is not giving anything free but with good rider is very willingly guided and co-operative horse.

VISSITÄR



mare


Finn horse

date of birth:
23.06.1999

 

colour:
red chestnut



height:
about 151 cm





This characterful mare has been first used as a draft horse and is nowadays used also to work under the saddle. Anyhow, she is still mostly used as guide's horse due to her ability to buck -quickly and unforeseenly. So far she has been the leader of the mare herd and is taking her role very seriously. She was covered by a beautiful and light, black Finn horse stallion and gave a birth to beautiful, black Finn horse mare "Elsa Eben" in May 2008.  

Here is a picture of Elsa (9 days old), calmly waiting her mother to get up... :)
