Meet JE Bazinga, affectionately known as “Zinger” — a gorgeous and incredibly rare Appaloosa Friesian Heritage Sporthorse gelding 3 years and standing 15.2 hands. Horses like him simply do not come around often. With his unique appearance, gentle nature, and willing mind, he is truly something special. Zinger is an old soul with a kind and patient demeanor far beyond his years. He carries himself with the mind of a seasoned horse in a young horse’s body and has the disposition and versatility to be taken in absolutely any direction. He rides Western, English, and bareback and has that naturally beautiful Friesian movement that is impossible not to admire. On the trail, Zinger is confident, seasoned, and willing. He will go absolutely anywhere you ask him without hesitation and crosses water and logs with ease. Whether riding out alone or in a group, he stays quiet, gentle, and level headed in every setting. He takes everything in stride with an easygoing and laid back personality that makes every ride enjoyable. In the arena, he has had extensive training and will walk, trot, and canter collected circles while consistently picking up the correct leads. He has a soft mouth, responsive stop and back, moves willingly off leg pressure, and is an absolute pleasure to ride. Zinger is even trained to side pass to the mounting block at the snap of a finger and will stand perfectly still until you are ready to move off. He is well acclimated to traffic, ATVs, bicycles, farm equipment, dogs, wildlife, and other animals. You name it — he has likely already seen it. Regardless of whether he is stalled or turned out in pasture, even with extended time off, he rides off the same every single time. Zinger absolutely adores people and has that true “in your pocket” personality while still remaining respectful of your space. He stands tied patiently, loves to be groomed and bathed, is quiet to tack and bridle, loads and hauls like an old pro, and is a complete gentleman for the farrier. He was also started under harness and was progressing beautifully before focusing more heavily on riding. He gets along wonderfully with other horses, will meet you at the gate, and genuinely enjoys being around people. Zinger is young enough to continue excelling in any direction you choose. Whether you are searching for a trail partner that turns heads everywhere you go, a family horse, an English or dressage prospect, or simply a truly unique and special horse to enjoy and build a bond with, he checks every box. A horse like Zinger is a once in a lifetime opportunity to call your own. For more information contact (573) 270-4490.
