Greenvale Duke (“Duke”) is a 14-year-old, 18hh Warmblood x Irish Draught bay gelding with a kind and affectionate nature.
He has a strong all-round background, having competed in British Eventing, British Dressage and Showjumping, as well as attending trail hunting where he proved bold and genuine, happily jumping whatever he was asked.
Duke took 2025 off following a hind suspensory injury and has since been carefully rehabilitated from January 2026. He has come back into work very well, building condition and topline easily, and is currently sound and rideable.
He is now back out jumping at a lower level, recently attending an unaffiliated showjumping show where he jumped clear rounds in the 70cm, 80cm and 90cm classes, producing balanced and relaxed rounds.
As his workload has increased, he has shown some signs of discomfort behind, particularly in canter transitions. For this reason, I feel it is in Duke’s best interests to step away from competitive work and find a knowledgeable, sympathetic home where he can be enjoyed at a lower level.
Duke would suit someone looking for:
Hacking
Clinics
Low-level schooling
A kind, quality horse to enjoy without competitive pressure
He is currently ridden by my young teenage daughter (5’3”) and is respectful and genuine. He can occasionally show typical “warmblood opinions”, so requires a quiet, sympathetic rider rather than a forceful approach. He is always ridden in a snaffle.
On the ground, Duke is exceptionally kind and easy to have around. He is good with other horses, dogs and livestock, and makes a fantastic field companion. He settles quickly into new environments and has always been well-liked wherever he has been kept.
All our horses live out 24/7, but equally happy in the stables.
Temperament & Handling

Teeth done December 2025

Health
Duke has previously had a hind suspensory injury and SI Injections, he has been carefully rehabilitated. He is currently sound and in work but would be best suited to a lower-level, non-competitive home.
