Selling points: “By Bazaar’s Chief, out of a performance pony this horse has huge potential and correct conformation. He also has fantastic, powerful paces, floats over the ground and is a lovely person and easy to work with. He has had all ground work done slowly and correctly and has been sat on. He has been turned away because he had a growth spurt but would be ready to bring back into work. He’s a pleasure to work with, very willing and wants to please.”

Height: 16.3hh

Selling points: “Alfie has a fabulous trainable temperament. He is very bold and has good balanced, rhythmical paces. His flat work is established and he goes in an easy outline.

Alfie is by Watermill Swatch out of Clooneen Princess. He came over from Ireland three months ago with the aim of producing him and selling him on to start his competitive career.

He is great for the farrier and perfect to clip. An honest, easy ride.”
