CODEY 16.2hh Full Irish Draught By Luke SkyWalker Grey Gelding – 6 Years Old

An absolute gentleman and true all-rounder, this stunning 6-year-old full Irish Draught gelding is beautifully put together, boasting lovely conformation and a huge, expressive step for a Draught. He’s a real head-turner with presence and quality.

Schooling very well on the flat, he shows the talent and movement to go far in dressage or showing. Over fences, he’s brave, honest, and straightforward — has schooled show jumps and arena eventing fences with ease. Point and go type: you kick, he goes. Always careful, never silly. He has competed at local hunter trials where he just skipped round happily behind.

Out hunting, he’s an absolute dream. Hunted in Ireland and the UK with both foxhounds and bloodhounds — impeccably mannered, sensible, and reliable. Equally happy leading, following, or holding the gate. A novice could safely ride him in the field, yet he’s bold enough to take on the bigger country. Would make a brilliant hunt service horse. Doesn’t get bothered by other horses — can lead or be led over fences.

He’s just one in a million — genuine, versatile, and easy in every way. Everything we’ve asked of him, he’s taken in his stride. Good enough to produce further in any sphere, but kind and uncomplicated enough to be enjoyed by anyone.

If you’re looking for a quality Irish Draught with manners, movement, and a heart of gold — this boy is the real deal.

This is the creme of the crop when it comes to cob x ID cobs 

Never have I owned one like her! I love chestnut mares too.

Penny is 16.1 rising 7 an unbelievable example of an Irish cob with amazing looks and amazing temperment in and out of stable

Brought directly from her breeder she is by a Rocky McGuire out of an Irish draught mare

She’s not been rushed or pushed, carefully produced so far. snaffle mouth, she hacks out alone and in company and is a comfortable ride. Passes all traffic she meets and is used to farm traffic here on the yard

Has been out to training shows and schooling sessions, she’s super genuine and tries her hardest

Pops a course of fences and has xc schooled, would suit a number of different jobs from rising school to top class allrounder and certainly wouldn’t look out of place in the show ring.

Good with kids, dogs and cats, doesn’t mind if she’s in or out. And can be picked up and put down.

  • one in a million kind of horse

Ajax is a one in a million kind of horse, with his beautiful blue eyes and puppy like temperament you'll never find another quite like him. Ajax is an old soul in a youngsters body, he'll give you his all and never let you down. He's only for sale as he isn't going to be quite big enough for me, otherwise he'd stay with me forever! 

He's one of the few youngsters that I trust implicitly, he's never mean or dangerous - his idea of going fast is a beautiful trot! He was lightly backed in August and has been produced very slowly with lots of breaks for growing, and has taken to being a ridden horse like a champ. He may be a little cob but he can move better than some dressage bred horses - his trot is a real treat to see! Ajax has also shown a beautiful shape over a very small free jump.

Ajax is currently on his winter break before he turns 4 so is priced accordingly, the more he does the more expensive his price tag will get! He is brilliant for the farrier, vet and dentist and will stand for hours being brushed, absolutely no vices - he's the sweetest most affectionate boy around!

Due to his age I will not be selling him to any novices/inexperienced or anxious owners, he may be a total sweetheart but he needs somebody who will help him develop into the best horse he can be! His new home has to be perfect for him as I'm not in a rush to sell

Such a sweet mare with a heart of gold !

A very brave horse cross country and she is really enjoying her jumping! Ditches, water, steps are no problem to her. The type that will happily canter around jumping and then will walk calmly on a loose rein.

Has hunted on multiple occasions with the roscommons , proving to be safe , sensible and very brave to anything we have faced her at. A very mannerly and comfortable ride.

Very easy to ride round a course of fences , doesn’t rush or pull but stays in a positive rhythm. Not phased by spooky fillers and comfortably jumping around 90/1m courses.

Ridden in a snaffle at all times , she is incredibly mannerly for a big horse. Has competed at local shows, always in the placings, she has huge presence and a real head turner! Her behaviour is impeccable off the yard, she stands quietly and doesn’t hot up or get silly.

Her flatwork is coming along very well, she is light and responsive without being sharp. She has very good natural balance and would be an exciting dressage prospect!

She has been carefully and slowly produced being mindful of her size. She has the makings of a top class hunter with her easy brain and love for cross country. Good to hack, clip, box, shoe, catch.

This mare will be a real pleasure to own!

Based in Roscommon, Ireland and transport can be arranged.

Bought as 4 year old for my daughter who enjoyed hacking beach rides and show jumping Xc schooling but then gave up horses due to university. Had hunted prior to this in Ireland.

For the last three years I have been riding Dash.

He is super easy to hack will go first or last, stand at gates or banks for you to climb on !

Very good in traffic and will hack in company or alone.

Fantastic on fun rides jumps everything and forward but calm.

Very good rhythmical paces 28 dressage at last BE event.

Careful showjumping and good xc. Attended clinics and riding club camp.

Competed lightly combined training where placed every time, unaffiliated dressage and affiliated and unaffiliated eventing. Competed 80, regularly schooling at 90.

Stunning horse with huge presence would also do well as show cob or working hunter I feel.

If you can’t ride for weeks can get back on no worries.

Generally an all round fun easy horse. Very very hard sale but my foal has now grown up and coming back from breaking and I cannot do two justice
