The Givendale stud aims to produce quality coloured horses and young stock for the traditional and competition field
Our resident stallion, Thomas of Givendale is CHAPS graded, Homozygous tested and has covered over 200 mares producing offspring which are strongly marked and true to type, possessing their sires renowned willing temperament.
Thomas was described at his UK CHAPS grading as being;
“a true showman, athletic, agile, light, flowing paces with huge extension for a horse of his size”
Thomas of Givendale guarantees colour for producing traditional types, cobs, Drum, Vanner and sports horses.
The stud produces quality traditional young stock and sports horses many of which have progressed into wider fields of dressage, show jumping and showing.
We are keen to keep the spirit of the coloured, traditional horse alive but feel that it now has new versatility when combined with lighter breeds.
Thomas has produced Hunter weights from slighter mares and fabulous traditional examples from mid to heavy mares.
Thomas of Givendale possess over 10.5 inches of bone, his conformation is perfect and his temperament leaves other stallions standing. All offspring produced by the stud have inherited the willingness and dependency Thomas himself possess.
