5. ‘The real deal’
Expected height to mature at: 16-17.2hh
Gender: colts/fillies
Age: 2017 foals
Selling points: “We have a selection of stunning 2017 foals which will be for sale at weaning in October. The dams are either traditional cobs between 14.2-15.1hh or a warmblood 16.2hh. The father is our 18.2hh Clydesdale stallion. These foals should mature to 16-17.2hh and they will have bone and movement to spare. They will have willing and obliging temperaments, and when mature they will carry heavier riders, make fabulous all-rounders or can be shown in maxi cob/heavyweight hunter classes. It’s not easy to find true heavy cobs over 15.2hh these days, but these are the real deal with plenty of wow-factor!”
