the owner is always buying in horses for people and is a very very good judge of horses,...
If you tell him what you want he will look for you..
AND of course you can ride there too..

I know the UK friesian society have quarterly newsletters where people advertise horses for sale also..
Here's some pictures of my mare. She's only a youngster in these, but i've added some pics of her parents at the bottom to give you some idea what they look like fully grown:
Thanks again for all the help and info.

What you have to remember is the cost of shoeing for something as big a a Shire.
Not sure how it works around the country, but some Farriers will charge more the bigger the shoe..and huge horses have huge feet.
We have a Draught X , but he is out living with friends now, as my daughter does not compete any more.
I love ID , but they can be stubborn so and so`s
Here is is pic of him.. he is of "King of Diamonds " lines, but will let you guess the other?????
Your horse looks amazing. I have no idea on lines though, so couldn't even guess!

NOTHING is wrong with him!!!!
he's MINE!! stay away...don't touch..leave alone..
I am generally a Saturday SLave...CJ has lessons every week..while I get roped into mucking out, leading, tackin up etc..
Murray will sort you out if you are looking for a horse..
They have lessons in the school starting at £11 for 30 minutes..£22 for an hour..or you can hack out..for the same price..2 hour beach rides are £48 I think..but are for more experienced riders..

I didn't realise Pedlar was yours! Any photos please?The rates sound really reasonable. How long would it take me to become a competent rider if I were to go for an hour a fortnight, (for example)?

They are very reasonable! It would depend on a lot of things..natural talent, balance etc..
Have you got a Bebo page?? Have about 3 albums of pics from Harelaw on it! LOL..
Have sent you a couple of links..
