Barana Grail Superstar, 17.2 rising 6yo incredible quality registered full Irish draught gelding, sired by Inisfree the Holy Grail (class 1, gold merit stallion) who has sired many show winners and has bred very high standard stock. His other incredible bloodlines include Ben Purple, Holycross, Ginger Dick, Welcome Flagmount, Grey Macha & King of Diamonds.
Tom is an incredible stamp of an ID. He oozes quality and has so much potential with an amazing gentle temperament to match. Tom combines quality and bone, is a true weight carrier with a deep girth and good length of neck. He has excellent conformation, is clean limbed with no lumps or bumps. He is an absolute pleasure to ride, responsive to the aids and works correctly with 3 elastic, uphill and rhythmical paces maintaining a relaxed frame. He has good knee action which he maintains when lengthening the canter and comes back politely when asked. He has competed at prelim dressage in Ireland placing well with high 60’s scores.
Tom is forward to a fence and never says no, he has jumped fillers and trays and shows tremendous scope and makes the correct shape - neat in front and loose behind. Tom has been to UA SJ competitions in Ireland and training shows/arena hires over here jumping 1m, he’s currently schooling around 1.10/20 at home with us with plenty of scope for more. Tom has been XC schooling and to hunter trials jumping steps, ditches, water and everything in between. He hunted in Ireland with the Maynooth and Leitham harriers where he was well behaved and bold and attended pleasure rides.
Tom hacks both alone and in company and is excellent in traffic. He’s good in open spaces, often going for group canters along the river bank and stubble fields.
Tom is a lovely boy on the ground, he loves people and is very easy and good to do in all ways. Good to bath, shoe, clip, plait, turnout/catch, load & travel. He lives in or out and is happy be turned out next to or in with other horses, has mixed with mares and geldings.
Tom has been ridden by man and lady riders, passed a 5 stage vetting a few weeks ago and is sadly for sale as is too green for our client. He is a big, powerful horse who is not the finished article he can have his green wobbly moments, never nasty, but still needs to continue his education as he matures and strengthens within himself.
We cannot emphasise enough the quality this horse possesses, he’d excel immensely in the show ring as a HW working hunter or HW hunter as he combines athleticism, bravery, scope and temperament. Equally as a pure hunt horse or a top quality all rounder ready to excel in any sphere. Seen on sales livery in lingfield Surrey, open to any vet check.
