5-Year-Old Pure Irish Draught Gelding – 17.1hh – Quality Allrounder / Ideal Police Horse Type
Ted is a very smart 5-year-old pure Irish Draught gelding, standing at an impressive 17.1hh with plenty of bone, correct conformation, and excellent, strong feet.
He is a real yard favourite thanks to his outstanding temperament. Ted is completely vice-free and one of the most genuine, kind, and easy horses to deal with. He is exceptionally straightforward and uncomplicated in every way, making him a pleasure to have around.
On the ground, he is as easy as they come – good to catch, turnout, and handle, and happy living in or out, either alone or with company. He loads beautifully, travels well, and stands quietly wherever he is put. He is good to clip, shoe, and wash, and genuinely enjoys attention – a horse that loves a fuss and human interaction.
Under saddle, Ted has been given time to mature correctly and is now proving to be a very genuine, confidence-giving ride. He is a safe, sensible type who doesn’t look for trouble and is happy to just get on with his job. He hacks alone or in company, will go first or last, and has been excellent in all types of traffic. He has a very unflappable nature, taking everything in his stride without fuss, making him an ideal candidate for a variety of jobs.
In the school, he has a lovely willing attitude and always tries to please. He is more steady and sensible than sharp, making him easy to ride and produce. He improves with every ride and is showing a nice, trainable outlook. While still young, he has a very level-headed brain and is not complicated or tricky in any way.
He has recently started jumping and is already proving to be brave, honest, and willing, happily taking on new fences and showing plenty of scope for the future.
With his size, presence, and exceptional temperament, Ted has all the attributes to make a top-class allrounder, hunter, or an ideal police horse type. Horses with this kind of brain, attitude, and ease of handling are hard to find.
A genuine, quality young horse with a very bright future ahead and a temperament that makes him stand out from the crowd.
