Appearance
The freiberger features a strong physique, typically standing in the range of 15 to 16 hands. Its build is characterized by a powerful neck, sturdy frame, and relatively short legs. It boasts a full mane and tail, usually in dark shades. The coat color predominantly ranges from chestnut to bay, sometimes having minor white markings on the forehead or lower legs. Eyes are brown, though they may lighten slightly with advancing age. A telltale trait of this breed is the rounded, broad croup, indicative of its draught ancestry.
Behavior
Freiberger are essentially renowned for their calm and docile nature. They are social creatures, which enables easy interaction with humans and other horses. They exhibit high trainability and willingly engage in work, a factor that's largely attributed to their endurance capacity and agile response to stimuli. Validations of their health and mood are generally gained through keen observation of their nonverbal cues.
