Do you know Duke? Possibly from Derbyshire/chesterfield area (photo's)

Looking for more history on my 16hh 15yo ID x Friesian gelding.

I have been in contact with 3 of his previous owners but the trail stops after there. His previous owners only had him for around 6 months each so there are a lot of years that I would like to find out about and potentially he could have been all round the country.

I can trace him back to living in Ripley derbyshire with "Amy" in Aug 09 (he was then sold to one of the owners who I am in touch with). Amy had also put him on loan.

I am looking for any information prior to 2009. Thank you

What about posting on the Facebook Walls of Ripley Riding Club and Springwood Riding Club? Someone may recognise him on there.

Found out that Duke is probably only around 11 or 12, in 2009 he would have been around 9.

The dentist said there is no way he can be around 17 now which is what his passport puts him at. His passport was done in 2009 when the law came in and it put him at older than he probably is.

Could I ask if you know where the last picture above was taken?

 

[mightymammoth]

It was taken where he lives now, dartmoor.

It looked very much like our valley in Derbyshire, so sorry I can't help.

Just bumping again, I do wonder if he used to be a riding school horse.

Has he ever been driven do you know? He looks like a driving horse I used to know called Duke but he would be around 17ish now

Could this be him? http://britishcarriagedriving.co.uk/photographs/2002/windsor_champs_2002_agripix/jimmy_robson.htm

Around 1995-1999, he would have been about 6 or 7 then so might be a bit old
