Darcy Dancer

Yes we had one, years ago now though, and we had a grandaughter till last year.

I he was bought by Mrs Bell (The Hon. I think?) of Thirsk in Nth. Yorks. as a youngster, possibly as a weaned foal.
 
My friend used him on a thoroughbred quite a few times they were lovely animals. He was also a real gentleman and I remember them showing him at a stallion parade jumping him bareback. If you have one of his progeny I,m sure it will be a lovely horse. Some of hers went eventing and one went to the police and has just retired.
 
My friend had one circa 1995, sadly prematurley PTS, fabulous horse, beautiful, well put together, mannerly yet a great character - even though he wasn't mine, I'll always remember him.
 
Ahh I have my retired police horse who is by Darcy Dancer and he is such an amazing horse wish I could have bought him as a four yr old:D just wondered if there were any other of Darcy's dudes out there:D Any pics can I see them:)
 
I would post a pic but I don't know how!

Our girl had been a broodmare most of her life (having 11 foals) & then had fallen on hard times when a friend bought her out of an auction in a mess in 2010 when she'd just turned 15. We bought her later that year & from how she acted she'd done very little other than have & look after babies, but she took to her "retirement" nicely, started doing a bit of jumping on September 2010 (either didn't have a clue or had forgotten how to do it) & then last year qualified & was placed every day at trailblazers!

She's an absolute star, she knows I have to be looked after because I'm a total wuss, but when my OH gets on her she goes up a gear & wants to be doing a bit more. Everything we've ever thrown at her she's taken in her stride, absolutely nothing phases her & she's just a lovely person to have around. She does think our warmblood is her 12th foal though from the way she watches him when he's having a hoolie round the field :)

I think the Eccles family have a DD horse in their vaulting team, I'm sure he's called something like Brock.
 
Yes, she's fleabitten grey with what I can only describe as what looks like a coffee stain at the top of one hind leg. I'll see if I can put pics on my profile.
 
Hi, when I was looking recently for an ID I went to look at a gelding by Darcy D, he looked very similar to your boy..who is stunning by the way. I didn't buy him, the owner had him from a foal, and had treated him like a pet..say no more.
 
Hya everyone, i have just purchased a horse aged 15 years name Darcy, i have managed to contact a previous owner who said he is by Dancy Dancer. I am after any information on this boy and if anyone knows him please let me know.

Hello I know this was posted a while ago but I have salsa dancer from darcy dancer, she is an ex evener and is now 25 years young! Standing at 15.3h she is bay vet good natured and I would trust her with my life
 
My girl is by Darcy dancer, she is 17hh, grey - now flea bitten but has been iron then dapple. She is an absolute star and I love her to bits. By all accounts his offspring got his good temperament
 
I have a Darcy D baby, he's called 'Darcy' ID xTB, in his younger days he was steel grey and now just grey, well flea bitten when clipped. He was used as a Hunt horse before I got him and stands at 17.1hh. He's in his early thirties and has a fantastic temperment. He's perfect in every way. I rode him recently to my friends wedding. I'll try to attach some pictures.
