Breeders of weight carriers (youngstock).

[VoyPor]

Hi all.

As some may be aware i am looking for a nice weight carrying type horse.

Went to view some today, but are a bit out of my price range, even as yearlings.

What i would like to know is if anyone knows any decent and reputable studs/breeders of weight carriers - IDs, Cleveland Bays, Cobs, etc...

I have come to this decision for a few reasons - i am looking for something young which i can spend time with getting to know, something that i can get exactly how i want, have the fun/experience of backing and schooling, and also, price, as hopefully i can get a 1-2 year old that wont be overpriced.

If anyone knows any please let me know, location doesnt matter as im willing to travel.

Thanks.

PM Janet George on here.She has a lot of Irish Draught youngstock as far as I am aware but I dont know of her proximity to you so geography may be an issue.

I have a foal from Balinmore Irish Draughts. You'll find their website on the internet. Can highly recommend, our youngster is gorgeous and very affectionate.

PS and Colebrook Shire have some super youngsters for sale. Look at their website.

Thanks - are they quite pricey?

I think Balinmore prices are around average. The foals are cheaper than the yearlings which were beyond our budget.

What do you call average

Irish Draught. I have a rising 3 year old which I've had since a foal. He will be up to weight. Try their website (Irish Draught Society I think).

Hi there. There is lady who posts on here who breeds Spanish Normans Andalusian x Percheron youngstock. I have a 3 year old she bred and he's a stunner (has been placed at county level),. She posts on here, generally on "breeding" under the name Silversons. They are an up and coming alternative to an ID. She has a few foals due this year and has yearlings and I think may have a two year old. PM me if you want her contact details, can also send you some pics of my boy.
