16.1hh 7yr old Black registered Friesian Gelding
Hercules works sweetly on the flat and with further schooling would produce a nice test. He’s jumped a handful of coloured fences and a log out hacking, proving bold and genuine but not the most athletic.
Been to numerous fun rides and taken to the beach, has been autumn hunting as a 5yr old where he was mannerly at the meet and stood on point nicely.
Hacks alone and in company, great in all traffic and sensible in open spaces. Predominately been driven on his own and in a pair. Good to shoe, box, clip etc.
He is more woah than go and snaffle mouth when ridden. Only for sale due to owners personal circumstances.

Meet Spycatcher – affectionately known as Luca – a striking palomino gelding with exceptional breeding and a bright future ahead. This handsome Irish Sports Horse combines athleticism, balance, and a natural aptitude for learning, making him a truly exciting prospect for a competitive or ambitious amateur home.
Bred for performance and presence, Luca shows the elegant and the metallic sheen of his sire line, while carrying the strength and versatility of traditional Irish Draught bloodlines.
Breeding:
Sire: Xanadu, a metallic golden buckskin Akhal-Teke Sports Horse by Atamekan (Grade I racehorse in Turkmenistan) out of GULARA (Elite-graded by VNIIK, Russia's national Akhal-Teke studbook authority). Now sadly deceased, Xanadu passed on his boldness, intelligence, and lightness of movement. His progeny have excelled across showjumping, eventing, endurance, and showing.
Dam: Bletchley Park, a traditionally bred Irish Draught Sport Horse by the late Knightley Park out of Ballygarris Black Diamond (by Diamond Lad). This dam line boasts rare and valuable blood, tracing directly to the legendary Enniskeane Countess, foundation of several notable stallions including Glidawn Diamond, Diamond Lad, Kildalton Gold, and Pride of Kildalton.
Training & Temperament:
Luca has been professionally and lightly backed before being turned away to mature last Spring. Reintroduced this spring, he is now hacking out confidently on roads and in open fields. He's a forward-thinking, bold young horse who enjoys work and is eager to learn. Not suitable for novices.
He’s been well-handled since birth, easy to catch (usually trots over to greet you), respectful of electric fencing, and good to box, travel, and for the farrier. He’s happy alone or in company and is up to date with vaccinations. As a yearling, he attended local in-hand shows and behaved impeccably. He also has experience being led in-hand through village traffic, showing calmness and curiosity.
He does have a small cosmetic blemish on his front fore, which does not affect soundness and is barely noticeable.
Highlights:
- Flashy palomino gelding with rare, performance-oriented breeding
- Backed and hacking out; ready to continue education
- Kind, intelligent, and playful nature
- Great conformation and strong movement
- Versatile potential: eventing, showjumping or dressage
Luca is now ready for a new home where his talent, presence, and character can be developed to full potential.
Located Herefordshire, priced 5 figures.
