4. ‘Gorgeous’
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. He has been schooling several times and competed in a clear round, jumping clear, as well as competing in some combined training. Alfie has hunted in Ireland and done some hunter trials. 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.”
