This is a heart breaking advert to have to compose, one I never wanted to have to write.
‘Hero’ by name, Hero by nature! 16.3hh Full Irish Draught dapple grey gelding, sired by ‘Sworty Hero’, dam ‘Clodiagh Mist’.
Foaled 2013.
An absolute gentleman, affectionate with excellent manners, loved by all who meet him.
Happy to live out with a variety of horses, mares or geldings.
Fully vaccinated, teeth recently rasped. No outstanding medical issues whatsoever.
Brilliant to handle, clip, load (trailer or lorry) and great in traffic. Perfect to hack out on own or in groups. Can take to shows on his own, ties up and waits patiently.
Hunted in Ireland and UK, also with bloodhounds. Hero has stayed away overnight on many trips for training, riding club camp, beach trips, and friends’ hacking weekends.
