Horses

FOR SALE - WORK HORSES

I shall be leaving Romania shortly because of the poor economic and political situation in the country, and have several good work horses for sale. All horses have passports, and have had recent Coggins tests. The horses need to be seen and collected by the end of March.

Tudor - a chesnut gelding aged 8, stands around 1.55m, an experienced work horse used in logging, agricultural work and driving, with a steady temperament. He is also good for riding. Price 1,500 euro.

Gelu - an older grey gelding, stands around 1.55m, a very experienced work horse used in logging, agricultural work and driving, calm and sensible with a kind temperament. He is ideal for an inexperienced person who wants to learn to work with a draught horse. Price 500 euro since he is an older horse.

Luciana - a bay mare aged 8, stands around 1.55m, an experienced work horse used in logging, agricultural work and driving, with a steady temperament. She has a yearling colt Luke, who is calm and friendly, and promises to become an excellent work horse. Price 1,500 euro for the two.

Some harness is also available with these horses.

Equipment for sale includes two farm carts and two logging sledges.

For more information, please contact Julian Ross on jcross.romania@gmail.com or 0040 723 526039.

For sale, Dutch Draft Horses.


Through my contacts with leading breeders of the Dutch Draft Horse here in Holland, we can match virtually any demand for a heavy working horse, both untrained or well experienced in any type of work.
The Dutch Draft horse excels in reliability, the will to work and its tremendous pulling power. The Dutch Drafts are used in agriculture, forestry and for pulling carriages. Due to their docile temperament they are undisturbed by any form of to-day's traffic.
Also, the breed is most suitable for improving the working abilities of any other breed.
We can offer mares, sires and geldings in a wide spectrum of colours.


For any further information please contact Ron Le Poole at info@ronlepoole.nl or by phoning 0031 653 457866

Wanted - Percheron mare or filly, ideally broken to ride. Must be good to handle and quiet in all respects.
