  • Absolute dream to have on the yard

Beautiful boy inside and out. The kindest most laid back guy, 16.1hh 5yr old pure bred Irish Draught gelding by Windgap Blue x Gortlea Ruler.

Ryder is an absolute dream to have on the yard, he is excellent to catch, in stable, in the field, turns out with others or alone, good to load, shoe, handle etc

He loves affection, having a fuss and a cuddle, he’s a really loving lad. My 7yr old son plays football round him whilst I’m poo picking and he constantly follows him round.

He is mature why above his years with a real ‘draught’ brain, he hacks alone or in company, happy to cross the M62 on a flyover, over the railway crossings or walk up an open field. He’ll pop over a fence or a log fence ith no drama whilst out and about. Nothing much phases this laid back guy.

He is starting to school nicely and enjoys popping a fence, either show jumps or cross country he’s bold and brave, always showing his can-do attitude.

Someone will be so lucky to have this horse in their stable, he really is a once in a lifetime type of horse.

Clean legs, no vices, no loans or trials.

Absolute bargain price does not reflect quality, just that we want him to find the best home which is way more important than anything else.

Duchess is a serious stamp, that would excel as a show hunter, hunter or dressage horse.

Duchess is nicely bred, she is an Irish sports horse by ID stallion Western Blues out of an irish sports horse mare by Dock Leaf, she only has a small amount of TB blood, and to look at she looks like a full ID with good conformation and bone.

Duchess has previously been hunting in Ireland, once imported to the UK she has been in an amateur home enjoying hacking schoolwork, and riding club activities.

On the flat Duchess works in a beautiful outline showing off her stamp and presence. She is currently working at prelim/novice level with all the ability and attitude to go up the levels. She has competed at a training show with us, she was well behaved and judges commented on her correct way of going and ability.

Duchess hasn’t done an excessive amount of jumping due to her previous home not being jumpers. She has been around courses here of 70/80cm always progressing well and eager to please. She would be a super allrounder for someone wanting to have fun.

Duchess is good to hack alone and in company, and would certainly enjoy being back out on the hunt field, and recently did some fun rides. She is mannerly and does not get hot up in open spaces. Good in traffic, and is a reliable sort out hacking.

Duchess is not marish, she is good in the stable. She is good to catch, load, shoe, clip etc. She is a very easy horse to deal with and a pleasure to have on the yard.

For sale on behalf of a client, a sad sale with a genuine reason. Good home is priority.

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.

Belle is a rising 5 Welsh Section D
Sired by Menai Cardi Llywnd

Belle is standing 14.3 but still bum high she should easily make 15hh once finished. Belle was very lightly broken as a 3 year old and turned away until this spring when she was coming 4.

During which she has done a few local farm rides, including Somerford where we ended up going alone so I had no school master for her, to which she behaved brilliantly and popped everything asked.

In September this year she headed down south to do the badminton fun ride where we stabled away from home for the weekend and met up with friends as well and she was absolutely foot perfect.

Belle has 3 lovely paces but school’s much better away from home than at home - I’ve no idea why!

She did a local show at our riding club this year where she picked up 2nd in the M and M and if I’m really biased she should have won as the winner picked the wrong leg!!

She’s a sensitive soul and would benefit from someone who can give her lots of 1-1. She hacks out alone or in company. She is always fine in traffic however hasn’t seen awfully busy roads as we are in a quiet area but have plenty of farm machinery knocking about.

Belle is turned out in a group, until she gets to know you she can be a sensitive soul where catching is considered however this has gotten better and better, her only other fault is that she can now and again have ‘d**khead’ day as I call it where about once a month everything is spook worthy - but this just adds to the Welsh dragon

Belle is still very very green as we really have done the bare minimum while she’s spent her time growing up. Day to day all she does is hack so when I do decide to do farm rides and fun rides she really has been thrown in the deep end. She has absolutely not been rushed in anyway so still so much for her to learn

She is really ready for someone to put their own stamp on.

She travels in a trailer but arrived to me on a box - good to clip (twitched for ears only). Good to shoe. Vaccinated up to date.

I did buy he as a rising 3 year old to sell on eventually but I’ve consistently put it off. But we have a wedding coming up this year with funds needed and a child that takes all my time showing now so less time to produce her.

Ryehill Touchstone - Jeffrey is rising 5 and will make 15.2hh. He is a good example of his type - a rare find these days as his height is much sought after.

He is blessed with lots of hair which makes up for the fact that he doesn’t have an awful lot of colour!

He has the most fabulous temperament, he does everything with a smile on his face. Just the kindest person. Always happy to see you and comes to the gate at a canter!

He has three balanced paces. He is a good straight mover with and is a real trier he wants to learn.

He would have potential in the showring and would do a nice dressage test. Truthfully he could go in any direction.

He is good to hack alone of with others. Good in all traffic met. Happy to go first or last.

He does have an engine so can be schooled or happy to go slow hacking with me!!

He is very good on the ground as I walk with a stick and is led of my mobility scooter. Good to shoe and clip.

He is a real sweetie and I am very fond of him but I can’t deal with soooo much hair so have reluctantly decided to sell him as I really want a trimmed cob.

He wants a home where he will be loved and adored

Frizzy Punchbowl

16.1hh | 6-year-old (2019) | Pure Bred Irish Draught

Sire: Devils Punchbowl

Dam: Frizzy View

Frizzy is an honest, willing young horse with a genuinely lovely temperament. He is eye-catching and has plenty of raw potential, showing promise across a variety of disciplines. He works in three rhythmical, balanced paces, with an especially impressive canter.

He has popped a range of small fences and shows enthusiasm for his jumping. Out hacking, Frizzy is excellent both alone and in company, and is confident taking the lead—often guiding younger horses past unfamiliar sights. He is accustomed to different types of traffic and takes everything in his stride.

He has attended schooling outings and is now ready to continue his education with some low-level competitions or local shows.

On the ground, Frizzy is kind and easy to handle - good to catch, shoe, clip and a pleasure around the yard. However, he is a young, green horse and therefore requires a capable, experienced rider to bring out his potential and continue his education correctly. He is versatile enough to appeal both to an ambitious rider and to someone seeking a special horse to develop a long-term partnership with.

Frizzy is a pure bred, DNA tested, Irish Draught and has excellent breeding which is reflected in his quality.

This is a very sad sale as his owner has switched to western riding. Only the best of homes will be considered.

Price reduced for a quick sale, and through no fault of his own.
