Handsome Draft Cross / Horse For Sale in Berryville, Virginia

Henry is the most handsome & regal Belgian cross (we think QH, Appendix or Warmblood), 16.3h, gelding. He is 16/17 years old and has mainly been a loyal trail mount for one owner for many years, and most recently a family pleasure horse for another family. He is ready to please his next owner!
Henry has demonstrated that he can ride in both Western & English tack. He rides out quietly on trails solo or in company. He’s much more comfortable out on turf & trails. He schools in the arena politely when asked, demonstrating three lovely gaits and such consistency in his rhythm. He is NOT a typical lazy draft type. He has a big canter stride so not for beginners. In the arena, he has a safe motor that we love about him. Henry has a lead change when asked and has some other fancy buttons- he will leg yield and side pass.

Henry doesn’t look his age. He was an adored riding partner who was ridden 5-6 times a week for many years so is in exceptional condition with a beautiful top line. His feet are beautiful and look more like a large Warmblood. He is polite with the farrier, bathes, x-ties and adores grooming. Turns out in a mixed herd. Respects fencing.

This hunk of a horse would be best suited for an educated rider who has soft hands and an educated seat. He’s so willing to partner with his rider!

Perfect mount for an experienced rider for:
TRAIL RIDING
PLEASURE HORSE ON THE FARM
HILLTOPPER
DRESSAGE (we think so!)
