Additional Comments
Fry’s Maples fancy JR, affectionately known as FB, is a needle in a haystack! He is a rare Rocky Mountain Horse Gelding who is safe and gentle, works with kids, and can scoot down the trail at a slow walk or faster gait/canter. He is a joker and a babysitter on the ground, always trying to engage you! He is a safe and FUN mount!
DID YOU KNOW: The Rocky Mountain horse is a rare breed currently recovering from the Livestock Conservatory Threatened list.... (read more)
Pedigree
FB’s lines include true foundation stock. He has these direct greats right on his papers: Maples Squirrel, Yankee, DOCK, and Kilburn’s Chocolate Sundown, who truly started this wonderful breed. Fry is related to famous and revered rocky stock as well. Some Famous brothers and sisters include:
MX Wrangler is now a popular stud in GERMANY, Maple’s Shadow is a prolific stud in CANADA, and Ebony Sundown is the son of the great Maples Fancy. FB is royally bred.
These horses are known to be the ultimate “all-around horse.” This breed is coveted for its rarity, gentleness, smooth, easy gaits, and beauty. Owning FB would ensure a place for this wonderful breed in the future. They are truly versatile, as we say: ONE HORSE FOR ALL OCCASIONS. This horse has greatness in his eyes!
Conformation
FB is the kind of horse that is physically built for work. We can see that he does not have a conformational fault. For Rocky, he is extremely balanced from head to toe. He is built and capable of being a hardy and handy ranch horse or just one to haul you up many mountains! He can do the work of a quarter horse without the trot! He is very stocky with thick, sound, durable legs/hooves and a perfect height! He is downright cute with a pleasant expression.
Temperament
This guy is sweet and totally interactive with his human. He loves to be enriched with a job. When it’s time to be groomed or just hang out, he is a true companion!
Riding
FB rides best with an average active advanced beginner rider… he will goat up the steepest slopes, across water and bridges, over downed trees, and through the roughest terrain-ridden in different terrain throughout several different states. Traffic sane and safe. NO vices, ties, clips, and bathes, goes through all obstacles like a champ. He is solid as a rock & an easy keeper. Laid back, super friendly, with a very easygoing personality. Great with all types of horses turned out in the pasture.
FB is a DUAL PURPOSE type horse not everyone can find… when asked; he can cover some ground if you like to ride with gaited horses OR walk as SLOW as you wish with AQHAs. Typically, he is most comfortable at a medium/slow gait, low-headed and not too fast. Ride bareback, English, western, trail obstacle, jumps, drives, ride double, the foundation to sort cows, heel or head and drag all the calves you need, side pass to gates, he will work so many jobs for you! He’s happy to be in the front, middle, or back when out on trails. When he meets an object she is unsure of-he mostly stops and looks-possibly just a little jump but that’s it-NO bolting, running away or other shenanigans. He calms down with any excitement with just a few aids from her rider- just a little circle, lowering the head, bends or disengages, etc., and he is right back to work, not maintaining excited behavior.
