  • Stunning 3-Year-Old Irish Draught x Irish Sport Horse Gelding.
  • Homebred in England – Quality, Temperament, and Potential All in One!

We are proud to offer this exceptional young gelding, a true-to-type, stocky, and beautifully put-together Irish Draught cross with serious potential for a range of disciplines.

Bred for Brilliance:

Sired by an outstanding local stallion Carrigfada Diamond, known not only for his impeccable conformation and performance but for being a Master’s horse, hunt race competitor, and a true gentleman of the field – widely celebrated as the People’s Stallion.

His dam brings top-class jumping bloodlines and a sweet, kind nature, ensuring this gelding has both the talent and the temperament to go far.

Currently standing around 15.3hh, he is well-grown for his age and is expected to make 16.1hh to 16.2hh – the ideal height for a versatile sports horse or quality hunter.

A Correct and Calm Start:

Now 3 years old, he is well-handled, has started his education with a calm and considered approach, and is beginning to wear tack confidently.

  • Good to load
  • Easy to catch and handle
  • Laid-back, willing attitude
  • Beautiful, correct movement with a powerful, ground-covering stride

What You See is What You Get:

He is solid, straight, and stunning – exactly what you want in a young horse. Whether you’re looking for a future hunter, eventer, or all-rounder, this gelding offers the breeding, temperament, and presence to succeed.

Homebred and raised in England, with a responsible start to life and all the foundations in place for someone to take him to the next level.

Serious enquiries only, please – we are looking for a knowledgeable home to bring out the best in this very special horse.

Double clear rounds British Novice and schooling at Discovery.

Cross country schooling proving extremely bold.

70% plus on all of her dressage results.

Jumped British Novice while being in sales livery straight forward and easy, also been XC schooling with us where nothing phased her she really shone in this area.

Her breeding unfortunately isn’t recorded.

She has potential to make a lovely class Eventer or would make a really nice top end Allrounder.

14.2 approx Ffjord 2009 Dun Gelding (Fully registered)

“Currently happy hacking only”

Frank is currently hacking happily alone or in company. 

Frank loves hacking and has been great with any traffic we have met on him.

Frank came to us confused and pulled out of his old routine he has now completely settled and happy.

He needs 121 and a good routine to bring him on further, he seems pretty clueless in school we’ve taken him in there walk trotted round but his very slow and stubborn.

Unfortunately with over 20 horses in I just don’t have the time he deserves or needs to bring him on in the school. 

But we have been hacking him a few times a week and think he would love this life.

Can only show him hacking.
