Irish Draught...yayyyy or neigh???

[spottybotty]

I did mention, at the Counties I think, about breeding one and sending it to you to start. That was still my intention but Alice didn't need starting in the real meaning of the process. In May we showed her the tack and she just said 'whatever' and got on with it. The temperament Archie puts in is just incredible, her dam is a very sweet mare as well.

Alice is hacking out across the fields and lanes, very sensible and always looks, processes and learns quietly. I am being very cautious with her because she is growing rapidly at the moment. Making up for no growth at 2/3 yrs.

My daughter is very lucky to be able to ride and compete at County a full ID, that is Archies 1st cousin and bred by Rita. He is an absolute gentle giant and although he is not mine I wish he was , he is such a lovely horse to be around, we are both very privileged to be part of his life and he has certainly opened my eyes to ID`s.

So I dropped into see the horse and have a quick chat with the owners.
Horse supposed to be 16.1 but looks more 15.3 and is VERY overweight. He is 9 years old and actually not a full ID...his Dam was Cob x TB. His Sire is called Master Majestic if that means anything to anyone??
He appears to have a form of hayfever with a dry cough which has been seen by the vet.
They want 2k, no tack etc. I'm supposed to be going out on a hack with him next week but there is a bit of a niggle that I'm not sure. He looks pure ID and seems pretty bombproof but he just didn't "do it" for me??

I remember seeing him for sale on facebook with a young girl riding him, ages ago - must have been last year now. He'd never jumped and had only hacked out, according to her. Photos were of him being ridden in a field in a pelham. She was asking more money for him, if I remember rightly. He was touted around several pages for some time, then I assumed he'd sold, as it all went quiet.

That must be a different one as this one has never been advertised or for sale :/
Well that's what they said any way...and he is ridden in a snaffle xx
