Freiberger Wallach Kutschpferd

Eddie Enzo  
Freiberger Gelding  
Born in 2015  
Barefoot  
Currently kept in a herd stall  
Height: 152 cm  

In mid-2023, we purchased a second Freiberger from a riding school for my partner (a beginner rider).  
However, he is not suitable for beginners, as he tends to buck.  
We had him thoroughly examined (blood tests, X-rays, gastroscopy, PSSM type 1 and 2 including muscle biopsy), but no findings were made (a single mild ringbone without clinical relevance, supported by a veterinary report).  

Since his arrival, he has been professionally driven in 2023 (single and pair harness). I only drive him in a two-wheel cart on the left rein, where he performs very well—happy and engaged.  
However, I do not ride him often enough to give him sufficient exercise (which is why he is currently quite overweight).  
He is driven almost daily in the lunging arena and, despite his figure, has excellent stamina.  

Additionally, I have re-established lunging training with him, as well as load training, etc.  
He is familiar with ground work and enjoys it.  

Initially, I also rode him outside, but I felt like I was on a ticking bomb.  
Since the beginning of 2024, he has not been ridden.  

Before coming to us, he had different riders, was regularly exercised outside, and also jumped.  
He also participated in pony club activities with very young children.  

Character-wise, he is a cuddler, gentle with children, affectionate, but sometimes a nervous bundle of energy for no apparent reason.  

I am selling him as a carriage horse. He can certainly be ridden (he has excellent basic gaits), but his strength and preference lie in driving.  
As a riding horse, I find him too "unpredictable."  

I wish for him to be kept in a herd stall or at least outside with the herd during the day (he is not very familiar with stabling) and to have more movement and interaction than I can currently provide.  

He is regularly vaccinated, dewormed, and his teeth are checked annually (most recently two weeks ago).  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
