Gladiator: Irish Draught Stallion: Schooling in the field, summer 2010

Gladiator: Irish Draught Stallion

Another Irish Draught Stallion, although a very different one, his dam is classified in Ireland as a Premium Broodmare. Gladiator is a traditional looking Irish Draught with plenty of bone and is nicely short coupled. He has a fantastic attitude, he is bold with a sense of humour and has proven to be extremely trainable. Now under saddle he was easy to break and is walking out in traffic quietly and schooling well. He has just started popping small fences for fun showing a neat, honest jump – there really are no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’ with this horse!

Gladiator has been our ‘teaser’ stallion and will cover his first mare this season, we hope that his youngstock will inherit his…. well we hope that they are just like him!

His statistics are:

Height:     16.1hh

Bone:        9.44 in
