Full Irish Draught Standing at approx 16.2 hh, 5 years. Breeding - by Devils Punchbowl (Crannagh Hero) out of a Westmeathe Lad Dam.

Red has been professionally backed and bought on slowly, trained using natural horsemanship methods. Time and care has been taken to give him the best possible start in his ridden life.

Red now needs a kind experienced person to take him out and see the world - not a nervous nelly like me! He is being sold from the field so please don’t expect to come and try riding him. His new person Must have experience with large, green horses.

- Groundwork: Red has done lots of natural horsemanship groundwork, flag training and been walked out in hand both alone and in company. He has started some in hand lateral work. He has been introduced to traffic.

- Ridden: Red can walk, trot and canter in the arena and is calm doing this also in an open grass field. He has done plenty of pole work including some raised poles. He has started some lateral work under saddle.

- Isn’t the type that needs riding every day. You can very much pick up and put him down. He is snaffle mouthed at all times. He is so easy to tack up it is like tacking up grandmas horse!

- Lives in or out. Hardy Irish type and goes out happily in all weathers.

- Barefoot, good Irish feet. Up to date with vaccinations and dentist. No health issues. Had two minor sarcoids removed 18 months ago and no return.

- Contact me for extensive video and a chat. May consider LWVTB for the right person.

The kindest Irish Draught Colt - An absolute Gentleman

  • Irish Draught

  • The perfect allrounder for someone looking for that Horse of a Lifetime.

Silveroak Deerhunter is a 2025 colt foal bred at Silveroak Irish Draught Stud.

To say that this foal is exceptional would be an understatement. Hunter is calm, sensible and kind. Probably the kindest foal that I have ever known. He loves people and he loves fuss and attention, and he is very well handled. He will mature to become a very valuable horse, as his type are hard to find. He has very good bone, moves beautifully and he will fast become someone's very best friend.

Hunter is beautifully bred from some of the very rarest of Irish Draught bloodlines. His dam was bought from a private stud in Ireland, directly from her breeder. She is also an exceptionally quiet and kind mare, and she comes from some of the very best bloodlines including Powerswood Gladiator (grandson of Ben Purple) and Blue Champion. Hunters sire was carefully chosen for his type and also his very rare and beautiful breeding.

Hunter has excellent confirmation. He is correct and straight with good bone. His sire is 15.1hh and his dam is just a smidge over 15.2hh. He should hopefully stay relatively small and as such be a very good potential show cob or small Hunter. To find a purebred Irish Draught of this type and size is literally like hens teeth. It is very rare.

I am quite sure that this young foal will make an exceptional show horse of Hoys standard. However he would also be a perfect all rounder for someone wanting a smaller but good, solid Irish Draught.

I bred Hunter hoping for a filly to keep. I have his full brother here at the stud, due to his quality and type he is being retained as a potential stallion but sadly I can’t keep both. The dam and full brother can be seen here at the stud.

Hunter has been raised carefully. He has not been over fed with hard feed to ensure that his joints are not pushed and he is an absolute pleasure to deal with in every way.

He is available to a kind and permanent home.

We breed quality and very kind foals here at Silveroak with the intentions of finding them a home for life. He will be very easy to deal with and he will be ideal I think for someone who wants a quiet, sensible horse. If you are not experienced in raising foals don't worry as we will support you with help and advice as they grow up. We want the very best for our foals so we will always be here for them.

Viewings and videos available on request. Hunter is very much in his winter woollies right now but is still a beautiful foal.

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.

  • 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

Fabulous Irish Draught gelding by Coilldarach Scirocco, out of a Welcome Flagmount mare

This striking lad is recently backed and ridden away - he is hacking out confidently alone and happily having a walk, trot and canter in the school and out in the field. He has been to a couple of arena hires, where he behaved impeccably - he takes everything in his stride with an exceptional attitude.

A clean limbed straight mover with 10" of bone; Max is a serious HOYS centre line Maxi prospect or top contender for Draught classes - He moves with power, elevation, and natural rhythm, as well as showing a scopey, expressive jump that promises real talent for the future. He has recently been out with the hounds for a morning, where he received many compliments on his fabulous manners and temperament.

Easy to catch, bath & load and travels like a pro.

Affectionately known as "Hippopotamax", this yard favourite is a pleasure to have around. He is a real eye catcher and is sure to do his best in any job.
