** RALPH **17.2hh/17.3hh 7yr Quality stamp of Irish Draft by Welcome Grandpa full Class 1 breeding.

Ralph is a yard favourite and one of the sweetest big horses you will meet he's always up for any attention and any love you can give, has lovely manners both ridden and on the ground although sometimes does need to be reminded of personal space he's got absolutely no malice in him. He can easily be handled most people, novices included. He happily comes to you in the field can be led up in groups of 2 or 3 wind rain or shine, can muck out around him with barrow at door no problem.

He would suit either a lady or gentleman rider hes had small young riders and older riders on him.

His CV includes hunting in previous home, beach rides and nanny horse, since being here we have taken him unaffiliated jumping doing a 80 and 90 class, hacking on very busy lanes and Main roads, pub rides and have introduced some schooling which hes green in but he hasn't been over worked and rushed due to size and age, hes exceptionally willing always turns heads when people have been on the yard and many compliments at the show and pubs.

Jumping he has some great scope, and flat he has great movement, he aims to please.

He is great out hacking both alone and in company and is good with traffic and farm machinery. He will go infront or behind does have the odd spooky moments but our hacking is a 60mph farm lane or the a40. Brilliant with dogs mine is often 1 inch off his hind legs.

He will live in or out happily with mares and geldings respects tape.

Ralph is a loveable chap friendly and genuine horse. he is up to date with everything hes had his teeth and back done here, been shod allround he is ready for someone to call him there own.

Ralph would suit anyone from a competent rider he is 90 percent of the time a easy ride, but he is a big boy and green in areas, at times he likes to have a jolly which might be a hump or a spook! He never does anything with any intent it's just a joke to him and very short lived snaffle mouthed at all times
