1. ‘Bold and well-mannered’
Height: 16.1hh

Selling points: “This ISH by Clover Echo has been used as a hunter and all-rounder. She has competed at BE90 level since 2012 and has hunted with the Cheshire Bloodhounds.

Scotch has evented and out of season is a rosette machine. 100% to do and could be ridden by anyone despite his size.”
3. ‘Outstanding hunter’
