We babysit our daughters two horses on and off splitting between our back yard and hers, both acreages.
She has a retired standardbred gelding and thoroughbred mare.
She wants to get into horse archery and needs a big plodder for that, like a Clydie or Percheron. The standardbred is getting too old though he can handle the archery, but the thoroughbred is too flighty for the noise.
She needs to get rid of the thoroughbred mare first, though it has good bloodlines and won around $30 000 and her brother is still doing well, both from the Magic Millions on the Gold Coast.
I have a total riding experience of 2 minutes on a hire horse that would not move, but after years of the daughters Pony Club I am pretty comfotable around normal sized horses, but these coldblooded horses are a different matter, they are bloody huge.
