I handle mary with my year old baby strapped to me! I wouldn’t do that with any others!


15.2hh cob cross 7 year old weight carrier, solid, fantastic bone mare. Where do I start with this tremendous mare.

Mary has done abit of everything, she will hack alone or in company, pop a log in the woods, will ride on open grass and school in an arena.

She is a laid back kind eyed type. She travels on a lorry or a trailer. Can lead her through a field of others she’s not turned out with and they can blast towards her and she remains level headed.

She’s fantastic in traffic and would hack to the moon for you. She does prefer company but very willing to go on her own.

She’s currently living out, although will live in also! - it’s a big deal a mare leaving a field full of horses neighing to her with dignity & straight onto a main busy road. She’s extremely quiet to clip! Will literally stand there without being tied up.

Any vettings or bloods are welcome. A kind loving forever home is wanted for this mare.

She’s very low maintenance to keep and no dramas, will turn out with another or on her own. Not a busy stressy type. I’d like her to go to an experienced home who is going to enjoy her. Welcome to try on grass, in a arena or on the roads.

No time wasters please & no complete novices the mare is nicely schooled and not a riding school cob.

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.

Shes out of my welsh x Clydesdale type mare by an Ardennes x stallion. We bred her full brother a few years back who is now at least 16hh and as wide as a table and the girl uses him for vaulting!

Both parents have an excellent temperament and so have both foals. Photos show her and mum and dad

Bred with full intention to keep her but we are reducing numbers with hay situation this year. Would make a great strong hunting type, show cob or simple safe happy hacking type or even vaulting like her brother
