What is it like to ride a draught like Ellie? | Suffolk Punch Australia
https://suffolkpunchaustralia.wordpress.com/grading-up-aka-breeding-up/featured-grade-horse-cottons-ellie/what-is-it-like-to-ride-a-draught-like-ellie
What is it like to ride a draught like Ellie? Is a special saddle needed? How does it differ to riding a light horse? How comfortable is it? Ellie is 17.2hh. Paul is over 6ft so she looks smaller! Because of my Englishness, we ride in general purpose English style Wintex saddles. They make them with expandable gullets and we get the largest size they do. We had to have the girth straps taken off and longer, leather ones fitted. Other than that we use normal girths. Welcome to Suffolk Punch Australia.

Part Breds (aka Cross Breds). The Suffolk Punch crossed with a light horse can produce useful harness and riding horses. Historically was the accepted practice to produce the half draughts (known sometimes as ‘Vanners”), and utility horses which were used around the farm and station both under saddle and in shafts. It’s interesting that at the end of their training, these horses are officially designated “remounts”. And below two photos of a SuffolkXMorgan foal. Welcome to Suffolk Punch Australia. Americ...
