DREAM horse for FUN eventing, hacking, hunting

2011 Irish Draft 16.2hands. Shanbally Fergus is an imported Irish Draft that has become one of our barn favorites and is sure to become one of yours.

Fergus is currently a very solid novice level event horse with plenty of ability to move up to training level this spring. He has consistently been placing in the top of his classes. Super honest and simple to jump, at home, xc schooling and events. Fergus is now very well traveled and takes it all in stride.

Fergus is lovely in the barn, super easy keeper and is happy to turn out with friends or solo. He also LOVES to go on hacks- again he is well behaved in groups and out solo. He will lead or follow.

Fergus was a side-saddle hunt horse in Ireland before coming to the states. This is the UNICORN you’ve been looking for! Located in Pennsylvania.

Cottons Secret 2013 TB Gelding For Sale!

“Cotton” is a coming 7 yr old, 16.2 hand liver chestnut Thoroughbred gelding. Nice to ride, forward and bold to jumps, puppy dog personality. He competed at the RRP in 2017 and finished in the top 10. Has competed through the novice level with multiple top 5 finishes and moved up to training level late last season. He is very honest and tries hard for his rider, and has a great brain. He hacks alone, self loads, clips without drugs, and stands well for the vet and farrier. He has extensive ground work training. Only selling because I’m in college and can’t afford to keep him. Selling to a serious home only with references. He loves having his own person and a job. He is uncomplicated enough for an amateur, and serious enough to be competitive. Please contact me, Peggy, for more pictures and videos. Price can be negotiable. Located in Michigan.
