Colby is a quality pure breed Irish Draught gelding that I imported as a foal from Ireland and have owned ever since. He was professionally broken this summer and has been given a varied and correct start to his ridden career.

He has had a busy first season, including riding holidays, hunter trials, fun rides and beach rides, and has hunted with me this winter, where he proved bold, genuine and sensible. He has always jumped everything asked of him and shows a very honest and brave attitude.

A true heavyweight type with a leg in each corner, a great shoulder and a good length of neck. He has super paces and a very good jump, making him a serious prospect for eventing, showing or hunting.

Good to do in all ways with no stable vices. Hacks happily alone or in company.

Still green in the school, as his education has focused more on getting him out and about, but he works in a lovely outline, is nicely off the leg and has good transitions.

Looking for a knowledgeable, experienced home where he will not be wasted. Not suitable for a novice rider or anyone looking specifically for a weight carrier.

A genuine, talented young horse with a very bright future.

Guss is a 16.1hh 4yo Irish gelding and a true confidence giver. He happily hacks out alone or in company and is rock solid in traffic. He loads and travels in anything, is always ridden in a snaffle, and has no stable vices.

He has hunted this season and is one of the most mannerly and straightforward young horses you could find. Guss stands like a rock at the meet, is sensible with hounds, and has never lifted a leg or shown any nastiness towards other horses.

He has competed in clear round jumping at Felbridge up to 80cm and has schooled around East Byshe arena eventing, taking everything in his stride. He will happily work in the arena, although he is still green, as expected for his age.

Guss is easy to do in all ways — good to catch, clip, load and shoe. He is an honest, kind gelding with a fantastic temperament and is a real friend to have around the yard.

A genuine, unspoilt young horse with the best attitude, ready to continue his education and excel in a variety of homes.
