Hayfield Colour Sergeant
Sergeant is an IDHA registered and licenced Piebald Drum horse stallion, standing at over 17hh unshod and weighing approximately 700kgs. He has an excellent and trainable temperament and such elegant movement and gait for a horse his size. Bred from champion bloodlines, Sergeant is a drum horse stallion of the highest calibre, winning numerous titles in hand and excelling under saddle. He is a pleasure to own and work and turns heads wherever we go.
His superb conformation and stature will suit any type of mare and with an abundance of silky mane, tail and feather and a wonderfully smooth coat, his markings are well defined and deep in colour.
Sergeant has strong, well formed, balanced feet and good bone. His deep chest ensures he has excellent lung capacity and this combined with his stamina makes him an excellent all-rounder. His kind nature means he is easy to handle and work and he still has lots of spark which really catches the eye.
Sergeants whole attitude to life speaks volumes about him. He is very gentle and is stabled with his mares living in the stables just across from him.Standing at stud to a limited number of mares, we are looking forward to producing some fantastic offspring from him.Mares will be covered naturally in hand and we are hoping to provide chilled and frozen semen also.
