Brave, bold, and undeniably beautiful, Apollo is the kind of horse that turns heads wherever he goes. Whether you prefer the arena or the trail, English or western, he steps up with confidence and style. At five years old, this striking 16-hand black gelding is a unique blend of Friesian, Percheron, and Quarter Horse. He combines athletic ability with eye-catching presence and a willing mind, making him a strong candidate for a promising future in a variety of disciplines.
A beautiful mover in the ring. Apollo is the perfect combination of whoa & go. He has an airy trot & an amazing canter. Has nice up & downward transitions. Can enter a canter from a near standstill. Travels in the correct lead. Soft in the bridle. He will pick himself up, collect, and ride with contact, but just as easily travels on a loose rein. Moves laterally & works well off your feet and seat. Apollo is willing and brave over 2-2’3 fences. Plenty of scope to take a rider to higher levels. He enjoys a challenge.
Apollo has traveled off property to various arenas & out on the trail. Drives single, down the road, to church, & to town. Easy to load & haul. He hacks out alone or in a group, is not herd bound. Confidently crosses water, natural obstacles, sure-footedly navigates uneven terrain, goes up and down inclines, across bridges, & is traffic safe.
Apollo is a pleasure to own & have at home. Impeccable ground manors. Ground ties for grooming, to harness, and to saddle. He enjoys countless minutes of grooming from the kids. Always calm, patient, & tolerant of the chaos that comes with children. He’s been lead in and out of the stall by my son more times than I can count while doing my barn chores. Always easy to catch, does well in a stall, or perfectly content living outside in a mixed herd. Apollo will “pick you up” at the mounting block, stand patiently until you ask him to walk on, and side pass over to wherever you decide to get off. He also, offers the same manors while mounting & dismounting from the ground.
Whether you’re searching for a classical or western dressage candidate, a promising working equitation prospect, a willing jumping partner, or a dependable trail companion, Apollo is a standout choice. With his solid foundation, trainable mind, and natural ability, he’s ready to continue developing in any direction you choose. He offers the versatility, presence, and heart to be a rewarding partner for years to come!
