For your consideration stands Edgewater Godfrey, an eye-catching 4 year old Irish Draught gelding. Godfrey is a very good looking young horse with a beautiful temperament. He has three very balanced paces and convinces through his excellent conformation.

This kind gelding has made his mark in many ID show classes in Ireland with judges complimenting him regularly on his ride and are astounded by his young age. Out of the eight shows he completed up to date, he won five and finished no lower than third. His greatest achievement was his win of the young Irish Draught class at Royal Balmoral Show and also standing Champion Irish Draught there.

It was in Balmoral that he qualified for the IDHB (GB) Champion Challenge at the National Show in Onley in September this year and he is offered for sale with the ride. His passport is already overstamped, which makes him ready to compete.

Adding to his success in the showring, Godfrey is a horse who is very enjoyable at home to ride. He is not easily spooked and takes everything in his stride. He enjoys being hacked regularly, both alone and in company, with and without the farm dogs as companions. He currently lives out, apart from the night before a show, where he just as happily stays in. He is easy to clip and shoe, has been regularly wormed and his teeth are done.

As part of every young horse's education, Godfrey was jumped in the beginning of the year by a professional rider, who complimented him on his technique. However, as we focused on showing, he hasn't been jumped since April and hence is still green.

Godfrey's incredibly comfortable paces and his kind temperament would also make him an ideal potential side saddle prospect.

He stands in Ireland and any viewings are very welcome! This wonderful horse deserves a good home in which he can continue to develop and reach his potential.

SOLD!
  • Cob
  • Palomino
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 14.1 hands
  • Safe and enjoyable ride
  • Genuine and sensible attitude
  • Stand out colour and conformation
Still available through absolutely no fault of his own, only due to not yet finding his perfect person!

A fantastic stamp of a cob with a great attitude, he is easy going and genuine without quirks, and absolutely loves people!

In the arena he is nicely forwards and supple with a lovely rhythm and balanced, expressive paces. He is established in basic lateral work. He is progressing everyday in his schooling and has a fabulous light contact.

Has been out to many dressage competitions and has just attended the summer BD Area festival competing at novice level, for which he behaved impeccably and was an absolute joy to take out. He stands at the trailer, is well behaved in the warm up and does not get silly or over excited. He always receives lovely comments from the judges and turns heads everywhere he goes! He has also been out to regular clinics in indoor and outdoor arenas.

Brilliant to hack and goes out alone and in company, really good in traffic and not phased by bikes, dogs etc.

He also likes jumping and pops small jumps at home. Has been out to a couple of hound exercises just for fun which he thoroughly enjoyed and was well behaved at. Doesn't get silly or hot up in a group.

Would suit someone looking for a safe confidence giving allrounder to compete in dressage, pony club, showing, go hunting or hacking. He really loves his dressage so it would be fantastic to see him go on to continue his dressage career with someone! Would suit an older rider or child or a para rider with more training.

Good to bath, clip, load, travel, groom, tack up and catch. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and vaccinations. Shod in front. No vices, lumps or bumbs.

Very reluctant sale. Please ring for more details, looking for a 5 star home for this perfect pony. Open to vetting

The Mighty Warrior - Coloured Horse, 1/4 Friesian

I have owned Teddy for 7 years (full history shared and known), and have practically grown up with this horse as he has taken me from the pony ranks to horse classes. He is Mr Reliable, he looks after my mum hacking and stays very still as she struggles to get on with stiff hips, he is safe in all traffic and would be a great mother daughter share, or amateur dream horse.

In the ring he is a rosette machine, he has qualified for the RIHS first time every year for the last 3 years and was placed both times we took him down inc 4th in 2023- highest placed amateur qualifying for the championship, and 8th this year in the strongest class I have ever seen. He had his first go at the HOYS qualifiers this year and has been well-placed in the few he has competed in, including GYS. He has so much potential and more to come. I also think he would be a great contender for the LIHS classes which we have not yet explored as he is so well schooled.

I think he would be a top class dressage horse, he can do walk to canter serpentines and is usually in the top 2 with 69%’s for the dressage competitions we have done. He is more woah than go which I prefer and a bit of a kick along but has very relaxed, supple, and big straight movement which they love.

Great to travel, shoe, and clips with no head-collar on. Gutting but genuine reason for sell- I am looking to return to the M&M’s/workers and unfortunately the money is tied up in him.

Based in Rawtenstall, Lancashire.

Please ring Victoria Walker on 07738 150819 for more info or to arrange a viewing.

  • Good amount of bone

This super sweet, quality old fashioned type mare is going to be somebody's best friend. She is beautiful to look at and the sweetest sole. With a good amount of bone she would be a perfect maxi cob type. She has super breeding!

She is broken and riding away in walk and trot and been a pleasure to do. I haven't been in the sand paddock much with her due to her age and size but have been hacking about on her and is lovely and forward of your leg and enjoying the job!

She is wonderful to deal with on the ground and very manerly. She has been vet checked, teeth done and had her woolf teeth out, wormed up to date and also great for the farrier. She has got front shoes on due to me hacking her out and it being very cobbly around here. Again stood like an angel!

She has no quirks or vices. She is slightly pigeon toed but think as she matures this will get better. No lameness or vet history.
