"Fifi and Colette" Palomino Mare Cob/Heavy Horse

Pair working Comtois mares (Belgian Draft type out of France).

From the estate of the late Sue ‘Daisy’ Sadler, owner of Sydney’s ExPloditions, based near Banbury, north Oxfordshire.

Fifi and Colette, rising 16 and 12 respectively. Both 16 hh, 700 - 750kg, they’re not directly related, but we’re told have been together all their working lives.

Both born and bred in Southern France, they moved together to south Belgium in 2018.

Acquired by Daisy via her old friends at Stal Talpe in Belgium in Oct 2023, they proved to arguably be the easiest pair Daisy had ever had the pleasure of working in her 30 years of working horses.

They both come with fully stamped French passports, and will be fully vaccinated before sale. They have both settled well to working with our farrier Joe Bell, and will have their tungsten tipped shoes fitted in early April.

Classically amiable, docile and so easy to handle, they happily live and box well together. They both willingly take a saddle, though Daisy’s failing health meant we’d yet to ride them.

Can be demonstrated by Daisy’s driving colleague Sam, who took Daisy on her waggon to her final resting place in November.

Daisy’s husband Josh is on a promise to Daisy’s memory to find them a good home, so no dealers please, though commission paid for a successful introduction. Any vetting welcome.

NB. A new home is also needed for all Daisy’s waggons, harness, and everything else accumulated from 30 years of working and travelling with heavy horses. Contact Josh, Tel or WhatsApp - Phone number removed - Email: - Email address removed -
