MILO – The Amazing Friesian Sport Horse Stallion

Versatile. Intelligent. Unflappable.

Milo is the definition of a true all-around horse. A stunning Friesian Sport Horse stallion with the heart of a gentleman, he does it all — and does it well. Whether he’s under saddle, in harness, on the trail, in the hunt field, or teaching a lesson to a child, Milo delivers calm confidence and athletic precision every time.

This exceptional stallion rides English and Western, competes in Western Dressage, drives beautifully, swims, trail rides, and fox hunts with the same steady temperament that makes him a barn favorite. He’s as trustworthy as he is talented — quiet, willing, and endlessly adaptable.

Milo is exceptionally mannered around mares, even in heat, and is known for his gentle nature and high intelligence. He learns fast, performs willingly, and brings a steady presence to any environment — from the chaos of a showground to the quiet of the trail.

A grandson of the world-renowned Friesian stallion Ludse 305 and Ster Preferent Friesian mare Shera, Milo carries elite Friesian bloodlines complemented by the strength, stamina, and refinement of his Percheron/Thoroughbred dam. The result is a beautifully balanced horse — powerful yet elegant, athletic yet safe for riders of all levels.

Disciplines: Riding • Driving • Trail • Fox Hunting • Western Dressage • Lessons • Youth Safe
Temperament: Super Quiet, Exceptionally Smart, Steady Around Mares

Milo isn’t just versatile — he’s remarkable. There’s truly nothing he won’t do.
