Hello all.
I am new to the forum and would like to ask for advice please.
I have bought a 16.1 bay gelding, he is an Irish Draught cross Thoroughbred , although his passport just says Thoroughbred cross, but other people have suggested he is crossed with an Irish Draught!!
I have had him for 6 months.
Can anyone give me any information about this breed, and what thier character is generally like?
I know all horses have thier own personality, but i just mean generally.
The reason i ask, is , i have found him to be ridiculously strong, he is no fun to ride, very much on his forhand and i cannot stop him in canter, he is in a pelham, curb, flash and running martingale and still resists me, even though i use all my riding skills
He threw me 2 weeks ago and i am sat at home nursing 3 broken ribs.
I cannot decide wheter to sell him or not...........ooh, decisions, decisions!
Thanks for you help in advance.
