16.2HH 7 YEARS OLD ISH GELDING EXCELLENT BREEDING READY TO EXCEL IN ANY DISCIPLINE

Irish Sports Horse • Grey • Gelding • 7 years • 16.2 hands Winterfold has excellent breeding. He was bred in Ireland by Bryan McKenna in 2019. Genetic sire, Fado Fado, Grandsire Star Kingdom. He has brothers who are successful eventers and he is the younger brother of BE horse Future Kingdom who is best known for completing Blair Castle in 2023. Winterfold was sold to his first home at the age of 2 years old where he was started slowly and trained with kindness, love and patience by a skilled equestrian family of vets, judges and producers of HOYS horses. During his time with his first owners he spent his time mainly hacking out in Ireland and from the age of 4 years old he started jumping 80cm courses and entered some lightweight hunter classes and placed in the top three. During his time with us he has taken on the task of partnering with a young rider straight off of ponies and has been patient and safe and sensible throughout, bringing her on to be a confident and more skilled rider. Winterfold is best suited to a confident, experienced and skilled rider who wants to produce a successful competition horse but who is also wanting a fun, kind, easygoing, affectionate pet. He had the best start and has since with us, continued his education and has been professionally schooled. He is brave and keen to please and further his education. At the yard he is a firm favourite with both humans and horses. He is happy to be kept in or go out. He is good to catch, load, travel, bath, clip. Good with farrier (Fronts shod) and with the vet and vaccines (Up to date and 5 stage vetting passed August 2025), good with the dentist (up to date), with saddle fitter (6 monthly and just done) No vices, no medical issues. Hacks alone and in company. Excellent stable manners and also excellent in hand. Used to farm machinery and a busy environment. He has a great jump with lots of scope having jumped over an metre during his time with us and has 3 lovely paces. We have taken him out to arena hires, and events and he is calm and easy going throughout and always catches the judges eye, he's a very handsome chap with a very sweet and charming character. He is an excellent all rounder and has so much potential. Winterfold is only for sale to the right home and only due to our change in circumstances. We are moving to Australia and sadly cannot take him with us.
