Austral Grey aka Duke
2001 grey gelding
by Subaustral from sellamaye

15.2-15.3 hh.

Duke is a lovely boy who is looking for a new partner to work with.
Duke has basic education and is lovely to ride when in work- he has currently been out of work for around 2 years with the occasional ride/ lunging.

He has a few scars so would not be suitable for showing, but he loves to jump and loves water so may make a keen jumper/ eventer with the right person.

Duke will only be sold to the best of homes with an experienced rider as he gains his confidence from the rider.

Duke has been to the forrest, beach, ridden/ walked along roads. Mostly good to float (hasnt been on one for a while but was alright to lead on) great to shoe/ trim (currently bare foot) cheeky to worm but is great with a worming bit.

serious enquires only as it is a hard sale of a loved family member.

POA neg to right home.

Duke pulled out of the paddock after a year and a bit spell


Duke today in fat paddock condition

his coat darkens and dapples when on hard feed and rugged- been unrugged since he was chucked out in the paddock so has gone light again)

He looks lovely ST. You shouldnt have any trouble finding him a home.

What breed ST?

Duke is a Thoroughbred.


Taking best offer on him, he will go with his synthetic combo, canvas, cotton and stable rug halter and lead.

Bother. Was hoping he was standie, he would look lovely in the carriage.

pfft ~ he would be good in a vehicle....
This horse is very elegant when under saddle and would be a great prospect to get in work and sell on!!

just bumping as I would really like to see him find a new home.

Open to reasonable offers. - suit project, experenced/ confident rider or paddock buddy-

do you think he would cope with harness? and have you ridden him through town or near traffic at all? i do really like the look of him

I have only ridden him once through traffic and i was put off by cars swerving at me- so havent done that again.

I think he would be fine in traffic if he was re introduced to it (he will happily walk through it when im on the ground with him)

and as for harness, i think he would be alright at it- he is super smart so it shouldnt take him long to figure it out.

Withdrawn from sale- have decided to put him back into work and get him going again before readvertising.

Bumping. Forced sale. Dukiepoo has got to go by the end of August. best offer around $1200.

also for sale is his saddle, halter/lead set, fly veil and rugs.

happy to free lease, do a payment plan lease to buy etc... really need to move this lovely guy on. . .

how quiet is he? would he be suitable for someone who can ride, but had their first ride in about 5 years this week?

if he was brought back in by an experienced rider i think he would cope fine with a rider who knows what they are doing, even if they are a little out of practice.. I had my youngest sister ride him( who has only riden about 3 times) after no work for about 9 months, i lunged him jumped on him quickly and he was perfectly well behaived.
