Jon Hammond horses

[Anonymous]

I talked to Jon Hammond from NH on the phone recently in my search for a new horse. He said he had some 3/4 suffolk/cleveland bay horses. From his description they sounded like the type of horse I am looking for. I am short on time but I keep trying to get over to see them. Has anyone on here seen these horses before? I love suffolks but I have never seen a cleveland bay before.

I have seen them. They look good to me. If I were a younger man I would have bought the three year old gelding from him.

Jared-
The fellow here in VT that I bought one of my geldings from had two of the same crosses (suffolk/cleveland bay) at the time, though I am not sure if they came from Hammond’s place or not. The were nice looking horses, though slight of build. He was using them to mow hay, spread manure, and for some firewood use, but not for much heavy work. Cleveland bays are a carriage type horse from England, and the breeding stock is still maintained there by the gov’t (they pull the royalty around in their fancy carriages).

Sounds like a nice cross….would be similar to a percheron/morgan crosss, though the Cleveland Bay is a bigger boned, taller horse than the morgan typically.
