"Fraggle," a sweet little brown Shire Horse foal - Thank you very much for your interest in our Shire Horse young stallion, Fraggle. Fraggle, a Shire Horse, was born in the summer of 2024 and is a beautiful young stallion.
He will retain his dark coat color. His mother, Grace, stands 1.80 m tall, and his father, Duke, measures 1.94 m. Therefore, Fraggle is also expected to grow into a larger specimen of his breed.
Unfortunately, Fraggle has developed swelling in both hind hocks. We suspect a bone spur in the joints.
Currently, Fraggle is not limping and shows no signs of discomfort. After consulting with our veterinarians, we have therefore decided not to proceed with surgery at this time. Due to this issue, Fraggle is now being offered below market value—instead of €8,800, he is now available for €2,500 with a protection contract.
Fraggle is particularly charming with his cuddly appearance. At first, he’s skeptical of new people. But once he’s gained confidence, he enjoys being petted and grooming sessions.
He takes a halter well and is familiar with all the “standard activities” of a young horse (grooming area, hoof care, grooming, etc.). He isn’t particularly fond of hoof care at the moment; his attitude toward it depends quite a bit on his mood that day.
We’ve also already completed his first “training trailer rides” with him, successfully helping him view the “monster trailer” as a mobile feed box—all without any stress.
Fraggle lives with his equine companions in a herd of stallions and geldings in an open stable with extensive pastureland.
In any case, we’re hoping to find him a new home with plenty of equine companionship.
Fraggle currently has a lower rank within the herd and is very easygoing around other horses, regardless of their age.
If you’re looking for a beautiful young Shire Horse to lovingly accompany you as a partner, please feel free to contact us.
Our animals are only placed in the best of hands and in a home appropriate for their age, so it’s important to us to take sufficient time with prospective adopters. It’s also important to us that the horse has a say in the decision—because the chemistry has to be right for our animals, too.
In addition to Fraggle, we have other horses for sale; please feel free to contact us for more information.
