Fiadh (FEE-ah) is a haflingers from Iowa. She may not look it, but she does have both paint and haflinger in her.
Fiadh is a special horse looking for the perfect match. Here's what you need to know about her: ✅ Health & Wellness: Fiadh is up-to-date on all her cares and has been evaluated by a chiropractor, who confirmed she's in great shape and doesn't require adjustments. ✅ Rider Relationship: Fiadh thrives when she forms a strong bond with her rider. She does best with a confident intermediate rider with a trainer's guidance or is experienced rider. ✅ Reactivity: Fiadh can be reactive around nervous individuals, so a calm and confident adopter is essential for her. She is most reactive to what her rider is doing and less to her surroundings. ✅ Experience: She has participated in gymkhana shows and parades, and while she may occasionally get spooked, it's manageable.. ✅ Endurance Enthusiast: Fiadh loves endurance riding and excelled at 15-mile novice endurance competition she did. She's brave and enjoys leading the group. While she can be 'looky' when leading, she's not overly spooky. She will ride at the back of groups but she doesn't like it. ✅ Riding Equipment: Fiadh is comfortable with both a rope halter and a snaffle bit, though she prefers the halter. She's sensitive to leg cues. She is more Go! than Whoa. ❌ Not Suitable for Beginners: Due to her sensitivity and reactivity, Fiadh may not be the best fit for nervous riders or beginners. ✅ Road-Ready: Fiadh has been ridden along roads during daylight and at night, and she's not reactive to traffic. While she initially found painted lines on the ground alarming she overcame that. 🍀 Name Origin: Fiadh's name, pronounced 'fee-ah,' has Irish origins, meaning 'deer,' 'wildness,' and 'respect.' Fiadh might not be everyone's cup of tea, but she's someone's perfect cup of tea. She comes with a current (EIA) Coggins test, and if leaving the state of Wisconsin, a CVI. Potential adopters are welcome to have a pre-purchase exam done at their expense. Fiadh is waiting to embark on new adventures with the right partner. Could that partner be you?"

Freya is a paint x haflinger from Iowa who is anxious around people but wants to please. She is quite flight driven but is halter broke, catchable and loads into a trailer. She needs an experienced owner or someone who will pay for her to be trained (deposit needs to be payed to the trainer at the time of adoption). She has a current copy of the negative coggins and has been dewormed. She is working on picking up her hooves and is not saddle broke yet.
Freya is available for foster! We would be interested in letting her go to a qualified foster home. The foster home would have the option to adopt her first before her being adopted out to someone else.
