Wish you much happiness and success. I bought, unknowingly, a small Suffolk Punch Gelding (sold as Welsh Cob but everything about him was SP, colouring, build, feathers etc) who was only 14.1 hh back in the early seventies. Kind, intelligent and willing. Rode big, sure footed, willing ride. Beautiful soul. Kept him for 26 years! Great Project. Good Luck.
My grandmother's surname was Crisp, and her fathers family was from Suffolk, so I feel a connection to this breed despite not having a direct like to Thomas (that I know of), I hope this lovely breed can get the numbers back up stronger ❤
They are willing workers and kind. They are a rare breed in their native country of England, actually in danger of becoming extinct. That would be a shame.
I have no clue about the breeding standards of Suffolk Punch horses, just about my own horses (Paint and Noriker, the later also beeing a smaller Austrian coldblood breed). In general, when you talk about good 'confirmation' in a horse, the hind end should ideally be the same hight as the withers - at least that is what I thought and what I was taught. If the hind end is (much) higher, a horse has most of its weight on the forehand. The stallion at the beginning of this video stood at least a handwith higher in the hind end than at the withers, I guess. Is this something unique to that particular stallion? Or do all Suffolks share this trade? And if yes, why? This is not critisism, just honest curiosity. I always like to learn the how's and why's behind things I see. Excuse my English, it is not my native language.
Could be a matter of maturity. He looks even to me, and a horse's back shouldn't be flat even with the shoulders, because of the muscle in the hindquarters; that will stand up above the spine. In a draught horse the quarters will be more muscled.
Good luck when the foal is born Whether a colt or a filly . We have just started up a horse rescue center in Verwood near the Newforist and we hope she has a lovely foal Richard /Sarah
I never heard of the Suffolk Punch until about 6 years ago, while watching a Draft show. What a beautiful breed. I hope you have tremendous success in your breeding program, I'd hate to see them disappear forever.
@@SuffolkHorseSociety if I won the lottery and bought a field how much would a white arabian female horse cost in england? Would it have to be guarded in case someone steals it
Is there a Suffolk Society in the U.S.? I have the room, but probably not all the cost. Earnest hard working breed tht did more to help settle Europe when asked than a human could.
Loving the content!! You’ve got a new subscriber! By the way, go and search for smzeus . c o m. I’ve been using it to promote my main channel and it helped me get my videos higher in the search results!!!
Amazing animals with fantastic temperaments. I’d love to start breeding them myself one day, but at the moment I’m happy enough to keep supporting the Suffolk Horse Society. Keep up the amazing work!
This short video is an excellent introduction to the Suffolk Horse (a.k.a. Suffolk Punch) rare breed of heavy horse. The descriptions and videos of this year's foals provide something to cheer us all up at this difficult time with Corvid 19. Jeff Hallett.
