Description:

He’s simply outstanding. A traditionally bred colt, with the classic mix of TB and ID blood. Eddie oozes quality while still having substance and power from his grandsire Grange Bouncer. His dam gained a bronze merit for jumping on Inspection, along with excellent scores for conformation and movement. This young chap has tremendous presence and superb, elegant paces. He could be a top show horse or go eventing.

By the class one Irish Draught stallion Irish Mist. out of a Hanoverian mare.
A really Tidy well put together little horse with everything promised. A lovely compact stamp hard to find these days.
Needs no introduction to the show ring she has had multiple championship placings at agricultural level this season and last. Was 6th

Description:

Sire: Tors Gentleman Farmer
Crosstown Dancer is his Dams Grandsire.

Currently standing 17.3hh ( and an half) and bum high, 3 years old registered irish draught gelding. Both parents class 1.

Paddy is a beautiful boy inside and out, he is good with the farrier, to load and travel, rug etc. Good in the stable and turns out with anything. Always first to the gate to be caught. Doesn’t mind coming in on his own leaving everyone else in the field as long as he has food he really isn’t bothered. He is the kindest boy in the stable, handled often by small girls. Can muck out around him and under him he isn’t bothered.
Has had tack on and didn’t bat an eye at it. He hasn’t done anything bar stand in the field and be a baby really due to his size.
He moves amazingly and moves straight, does have a tiny blemish on his back leg he has had since a yearling, it is hardly noticeable anymore and the vets are very sure it will go almost completely. This is an extremely sad sale and one I never dreamt of having to do as Paddy is my dream horse in everyway but unfortunately circumstances have changed and he has grown larger than expected. I will regret this sale in the future but have to put him first. He is going to be absolutely amazing when he has matured. Will be an amazing hunter/eventer/all rounder/working hunter. You name it he will do it and do it beautifully.
No novices at all as he is a very large baby! However kind and gentle he is he is still a baby. Absolutely no time waster or photo collectors as this is hard enough as it is.
Home is more important than price but horses like Paddy don’t often come available.

Description:

Quality Class 1 6 yr old Irish Draught mare, by Offaly Clover (Finns Clover Hill by Clover Hill, ex Hannah Brack – Uibh Fhali).  Her dam is Gortfadda Mrs Grove (by Grosvenor Lad ex Clonakilty Hero).

Fondly known as Ginger, this mare has a lovely nature and is only being sold as I am looking to reduce numbers and feel that she has great potential as a ridden mare, as well as some lovely bloodlines for anyone looking for a top quality broodmare.   Ginger was lightly backed in Ireland as a 4 year old but would probably need to be restarted.  She is a very athletic and intelligent mare, she would excel in the competition arena and would be ideal for a capable rider who is looking for a forward going, sporty type of draught.  With her bloodlines, this mare should make a very good showjumper, she also possesses the athleticism to event and she certainly has the paces and flexibilty for dressage.

Available to a kind, permanent home.  I would be happy to offer the buyer a free cover for the 2025 season to Macs Silver C1 as well for this mare if they so wished.
