Winterfold has excellent breeding. He was bred in Ireland by Bryan McKenna in 2019. Genetic sire, Fado Fado, Grandsire Star Kingdom, Genetic Dam Lady Tazma, Grandsire Ghareeb. He has brothers who are successful eventers and he is the younger brother of BE horse Future Kingdom who is best known for completing Blair Castle in 2023. Winterfold was sold to his first home at the age of 2 years old where he was started slowly with kindness, love and trained with patience by a skilled equestrian family of vets, judges and producers of HOYS horses. During his time with his first owners he spent his time mainly hacking out for miles in Ireland and from the age of 4 years old he started jumping 80cm courses and entered some lightweight hunter classes and placed in the top three. During his time with us he has taken on the task of partnering with a young rider straight off of ponies and has been patient and safe and sensible throughout, bringing her on to be a confident and more skilled rider.

Winterfold is best suited to a strong, confident, experienced and skilled Adult rider who wants to produce a winning event horse but who is also wanting a fun, kind, easygoing, affectionate pet. He had the best start and has since with us, been professionally schooled and is brave and keen to learn.

At the yard he is a firm favourite with both humans and horses. He is happy to be kept in or go out. He is good to catch, load, travel, bath, clip. Good with farrier (Fronts shod), with vet and vaccines (Up to date and 5 stage vetting passed August 2025), with dentist (up to date), with saddle fitter (6 monthly and just done) No vices, no medical issues. ridden in a snaffle usually but a universal has been used with the young rider only for showjumping as he is a powerful young horse. Hacks alone and in company. Excellent stable manners and also in hand. Used to farm machinery and a busy environment. He has a great jump with lots of scope having jumped over an metre during his time with us and is nice and flashy in 3 correct paces. We have taken him out to arena hires, and events and he is calm and easy going throughout and always catches the judges eye, he’s a very handsome chap with a very sweet and charming character.

Winterfold is only for sale to the right home and only due to our change is circumstances. We are moving to Australia and sadly cannot take him with us.
