Save yourself some worry and buy a foal from a farm that not only breeds but also trains and uses their horses.
Arvid comes from lineage that rides and drives. Breeds with deep history of farm work and loyalty.
When you purchase Arvid he will come with a contract for two months of training at the age of three at my farm. When he leaves here at weaning he will have been ponied from his mothers back and tied to the shafts of her cart. Thus already starting the process of working under saddle and in carriage. He is handled daily including halter and leading and of course grooming and hoof cleaning.
Arvid has unusual and stunning color. He ahs already changes from mouse grey, to redish bay. He is now shedding out that baby coat and showing a flecked grey. I honestly can't tell if its grey or roan.
His weight and height are projections of his maturity. His paperwork will be started for his Dales Partbred registration. A breed that is still endangered. Blackshadow Apparition is a Licensed Section A Dales Stallion. Mocha has no registration but strong Welsh Cob traits.
Schedule a visit and meet Arvid and his parents. Tell me what color you think he will be.
