GOATH OF CROILA - "Geordie" (Unregistered)

14.2hh 8 yr old YELLOW DUN GELDING - By Ben Macdhui of Gorstan (Olympia Qualifier 2005 & 2006) out of Kerry of Croila

Unblemished, straight mover

Goath [Geordie]  has been used as a deer pony on a Highland estate  until now & is a  lovely big gelding with lots of bone and presence

He has lost his way a little as he had a fright when carrying deer recently & needs time to get over it & regain his confidence

He has started a new career as a ridden gelding & schools happily bareback & hacks out alone or in company, also bareback, but still has a lot of fear when being ridden with saddle - All stemming from his fright when carrying deer with the deer saddle on

In every other way he is a happy pony  but needs to find a special person to help regain his confidence and give him trust

He  has a passport but no registration papers as he was not registered as a foal, as all late registrations now need to  have their parents DNA tested & we cannot trace his dam to do this

Because of this and his problem he is offered at £1,600 ono to an experienced home as he deserves a chance

We are located in the Highlands of Scotland, but transport can be easily arranged

Fully Registered Mouse Dun Filly, 2003 - RHUM and CROILA bloodlines

 

Rising 2  yr old Mouse/Grey dun filly.  By Strathmashie Seamus Mor [ Ben Nevis Of Croila ]  out of Mary of Muck [ an old Muck mare with rare and ancient island bloodlines ]

 

Anna is a lovely quiet and friendly filly to make 14 hands plus . She is deep bodied and has good limbs and very good hard feet .

Her full brother Charlie of Muck was ridden champion at Blair Castle this year  and is an outstanding ridden pony.

This filly  has special  bloodlines  and  would  be a valuable outcross to  the more commoner blood lines used today. Her temperament and type are second to none and she is only for sale as we have her full sister already in foal and are overstocked at the moment.

She has a slight scar tissue blemish on her fetlock that does not affect her movement , and will disappear in time .

Ruaridh has a lovely attitude, never questions what is asked of him & is a pleasant responsive ride - Never strong or hot & hacks out very happily alone or in company

Very Attractive 14.1hh Registered Highland Gelding,  4 years old, RHUM and CROILA bloodlines

Finnlay  is  a lovely ridden  gelding with a big future

He  has plenty of bone for his height, is a  very comfortable off the forehand ride , is  extremely light and balanced already  in his paces, and  with his  perfect highland temperament from the Croila bloodlines  combined with a little sparkle from his Rhum connections  he  is the perfect  show ridden / dressage  pony 

He is at present unfurnished  as he has only been lightly brought on  but will mature  and muscle up  over the winter

He has never been forced  for in hand classes and  was brought up in natural conditions in the Highlands of  Scotland, he has the perfect frame to take more condition and muscle for the show ring once he is mature

Finnlay  has already  competed at local level  where he was best young Highland in hand  and  3rd  in both open ridden classes  where he gave the judge a lovely ride . He was impeccably  behaved on both occasions, travelled and tied up alone , and  was very relaxed and happy

He rides out  alone or in company, on roads  and  beaches . He is used to all traffic he has met so far, is good for the farrier  and loads and travels no problem

No blemishes or splints etc  - Moves well and straight

Finnlay really has a lot of potential as a showing and  ridden gelding.

Best of Beef Shorthorn Bloodlines with Chapelton and Glenisla strongly represented.

This is a very quiet bull who is quiet to handle and catches and leads on the halter from the field

He has a completely unflappable & easy going temperament, typical of his breed he has been handled on a halter since a calf.

His mother was an excellent milker and was kept at Newtonmore Museum as their "House Cow" so raised Aonghas and provided milk for the museum dairy to allow them to make butter and cheese.

He will only be 5 years old this year and has been used on Shorthorn Cross and Highland Cattle and has never missed a cow yet.

Guaranteed stock getter, his calves can be viewed also. He has a lot of years of useful work left in him yet.

Aonghas  is a real pet and it is more important he goes to a good home where he will be appreciated than to a purely commercial concern.
