See my post in Breeding, Archie has been very highly spoken of!! I'm going to print your picture of Archie off for a poster for Millies stable to 'get her in the mood'...:p;):D

What a stunning picture of Archie, handsome boyo !

Rita, if you are going somewhere hot who is going to look after Mr Handsome ?

I can send a lorry for him and hide him away with me in the depths of rural middle England, you know who would be very excited to see him in the flesh, she only saw a picture and a turkey baster last time !!!

Noddy can come too, he can baby sit AA, he would need the patience of a saint and a sense of humour you know what toddlers are like !

Have you any idea how much hay that big bay horse eats Ann? you would soon sent him back but if he goes missing I know where to look. You can always stay here and look after him :) I don't think Duchess would be safe once he saw her lovely big round bum!

This is my now 3 year old, and as a foal. He is a full Irish Draught by Crosstown Dancer.

This was his first ever loose jump over a pole, pic is a bit small for some reason.

This is my other full ID, he is by Duleek Hero, this pic is of him just getting into training.

What beautiful pictures of your horses, absolutely stunning!

I've had 2 ID x TBs now, both completely opposites of each other! The chestnut threw more to the TB and basically acted like one apart from having much bigger feet and joints and the bay was absolutely stunning and could really jump! He had much more substance about him and a roman nose.

I was free jumping him in the school and he decided I was taking the mick with the warm up jumps so jumped out of he school over the post and rail and over the 5 bar gate into the 10 acre field and buggared off! He came back 2 minutes later, worrying that he would miss his tea!

He also once jumped out of the field and joined the hunt which I take as his protest that I am a scaredy cat and daren't take him!

I would def love another - both these boys are now gone :(

The only thing stopping me is the cost You get what you pay for and I have 2 young children and a Masters course to fund for now so am having to make do with riding my friend's cob - no complaining with this though!!!

I have a 15.1 ID x Conn and he is an absolute star in every way. Cheeky as anything, but lovely all the same.

He does a bit of everything, but his favourite is jumping. Sometimes he does get a bit TOO excited by jumping :rolleyes:
He hold himself beautifully for dressage work though (or so my instructor told me), hopefully that'll show through as we have our first Dressage comp next month!

Nothing better than a draught. I have one and planning on selling my tb to get another! My step hobbits who are under 10 ride my girl and she is wonderful with them. Would never walk passed a draught.
