Friesian Tjerk - going bridleless!

Tjerk is a friesian gelding, living in Finland. He has a very gentle and sincere personality, and although he is a muscular and physically strong horse he is really easy to handle with a very little physical power. Tjerk therefore enjoys much going completely bridleless! Tjerk has been working as a TV-star (serial "Pelle Positiivi ja Sinisilmä"), a show horse, a theatre actor and he knows many special horse tricks (laying down, kneeling down, sitting, jumping up). Tjerk is trained for an extreme riding sport, trick/cossack riding 'zigitovka', for medieval tournament riding tricks and also for usual dressage. As a zigitovka horse Tjerk has been mainly working with a trick rider Vladimir Georgiev. In this video Tjerk is working with his owner Tina.
This video was made when Tjerk was going "liberty" the very firt time, so the basic trust is essential, everything else is easy when tht is ok :) Tjerk was also a star of an art video "Ridestar" by Hannaleena Heiska. This video won a special prize in Vienna Independent Shorts -movie festival in 2011. Tjerk is also famous in Finland as a "Salama" superstar-ad.

Thanks, my Friesian is a really sweet person. That tinker is pleasant too, but in a different way. Tjerk is innocent like a little puppy, never makes anything against you.

He has been acting again in Finnish TV-serial, performing as a circus horse. He made a really good and quite a difficult role, had to canter freely in the forrest and come against the camera alone...

i am more impressed with the coloured horse standing like a rock in the middle, and not moving while the other one is bombing around

[Rubiinitar]

He has got that statue standing talent, allright, wise guy :) Though he can move as well: "tinker feija going brideless"

@Loocarrx Fresians only come in black, so saying " black fresian" is like saying you want a black one cause there is more then black for a color
