Colony Zippo

Colony Zippo 9120

17.1HH - Gelding.

A super little horse that needs to further his education.

Zippo works in chains and shafts with no problems at all.

He is perfectly good enough for the show ring and has already been on a couple of outings to do demonstrations for the public.

Great to do in all ways and will make someone a super "little" horse.

Easton Bill 9100

16.3HH - Gelding.

A lovely gelding who will excel in harness, under saddle and in the show ring.

He has worked in chains, shafts, under saddle and has done some work on the pole.

Good to catch, tie, groom and he will lift his feet on command. We do have a little issue with being shod in front (trimming fine) but we give him a few mls of oral sedation and off you go.

Other than this small negative 😁 he is an overall good gelding who is ready to further his career with someone new.

Colony Viridor 9043

Colony Viridor - 9043

18HH - Gelding.

This boy comes with a very kind nature who is looking for a companion home or a semi-retirement home. He has worked in chains, shafts, pole and under saddle and has been as good as gold.

Sadly, Viridor was born with a peculiar action on his O/H, it has not ever got in the way but it's not a good look for the show ring. This boy can still do a job but only light work is recommended.

Good to do in all respects and a pleasure to work with.

Sire: Fenland Eric 8735

Dam: Colony Nutmeg 28458

Knightsfield Achilles Warrior - "Wyatt"

SOLD

Wyatt is looking for his next loving home. He was bred by ourselves and is now ready to be loved by someone else. He has plenty of bone and substance. Hopes to make 16-17hh.

Lightly handled and can be touched all over.

Lives within a mixed herd of broodmares and geldings and happily plays with his half-sister of the same age.

Wyatt can be a little timid but soon gains confidence.

Registered with the Suffolk Horse Society International Register.

Presently still entire, but will be gelded in February if not sold before hand.

First and second flu and tet vaccines already done, just last booster in June.

Can recommend a fantastic very local transporter with small box.

Cookworthy Zetor - PB69

Zetor is a Suffolk cross, 15.3 bay mare, rising 5. Broken in this March, ridden on during spring and taken to Shropshire on a 4-day riding holiday. Took the travelling and staying away from home all in her stride. Given a couple of months off during summer, Zetor didn't bat an eyelid when we got back on her 8 week's ago, hacking out beautifully, proving sane and sensible, ridden by me and my 14 year old son.

Excellent to travel, shoe, clip and being in the stable.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

EQUINE FLU

Please read below for some advice based on that given by the BHA and TBA to owners and breeders about Equine flu:

Equine flu is a mainly airborne viral infection that can also be transmitted by direct contact from an infected animal (unwashed hands, dirty clothing, bridles & halters etc). The incubation period until an animal becomes ill is about three to ten days after exposure to the virus.

Symptoms include fever, whitish nasal discharge and dry coughs.
Restricting movement and isolating animals that are introduced onto a farm or stables from the resident population are the best way to prevent the spread of disease. Monitor rectal temperatures of newly arrived animals twice a day for ten days. Keep resident and transient horses apart.
Unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated animals, especially foals and immune compromised animals are most at risk to becoming severely ill. Whilst vaccination does not give full protection boostering immunity by revaccinating horses that were last inoculated more than 6 months previously and pregnant brood mares within 3 months of the anticipated foaling date is recommended.
This is likely to reduce the severity of the clinical disease and offer protection to newborn foals through the mare’s colostrum. Newborn foals must receive colostrum within the first twelve hours of life to benefit from the maternal protection against infections.
Good biosecurity by limiting unessential horse movement, herd/group surveillance and monitoring rectal temperatures twice daily are the best ways to prevent the spread of and identify Equine ‘Flu.
When in doubt call your vet for advice!
