2017 16.1 ISH Gelding
Frankie (Registered name Banagher Drogo) is a 2017 registered Irish Sport Horse that was imported by White Hall in April of 2023 from a Master in Ireland. He is out of Fintan Himself and Kingdom Lady. He has foxhunted in Ireland for two seasons, notably with the Galway Blazers and North Galway Hunts. With White Hall Hounds in Middleburg, VA, Frankie has been used as a staff horse, both to hunt the hounds and whip-in, but he will also happily go in the field. Frankie is the type of horse that can go in whatever position in the hunt field that the rider may like.
In the ring, Frankie will walk, trot, and canter and jump a course. He has great transitions and knows his basic lateral movements. Frankie has a wonderfully comfortable canter and it is easy to sit. He has an adjustable canter stride and is happy to go through grid work and poles, but also jump a bigger course.
In the hunt field, Frankie is a superstar. Frankie is a nice jumper and has an economical jump that will take you safely over coops, stone walls, timber jumps, and more. Frankie is sure-footed and will go through thick brush with no problem. He will cross water, gallop through open fields, and is fine with livestock. Frankie is a made hunt horse, with more than four seasons of experience.
In the barn and paddock, Frankie is easy-going and gets along with all his pasture mates. He currently lives out in a mixed herd, but is also happy to stay in a stall, if needed. Frankie will get on a horse trailer with no problem and will go into a trailer with your pack of hounds with no problem. Frankie stands in the cross ties to be groomed and tacked up, as well as to be clipped and have his mane pulled. He is shod all around.
Frankie is a horse for someone who seriously wants to foxhunt and wants a horse that they can quite literally “take out hunting tomorrow”. He is a horse that loves his time out with the hounds and will make a great partner for someone who loves their time out hunting as much as he does.
THIS IS A 100% SAFE HORSE WITH NO VICES AND IS "HUSBAND SAFE".

2014 16.2 TB Gelding
Cruz is a 2014 Thoroughbred gelding standing at 16.2 hands high. Cruz is a great size for any rider. He is big bodied enough to carry a larger rider, but is also gentle enough for petite riders. Cruz is a trusty sort that enjoys his time both out in and out of a ring. He has an easy going personality and is a steady guy. Cruz has spent his last two years as a staff horse for White Hall Hounds. Cruz is the type of horse that is very straightforward and has an easy-going personality.
In the ring, Cruz is just plain pleasant. He will walk, trot, and canter on a loose rein or go in a frame when asked. He is easy to steer and would be an ideal teacher for someone whether you are learning your diagonals or practicing non-stirrup work and moving on to more intermediate flat work or gymnastics. He will keep his rhythm and doesn’t mind if his rider is learning how to balance - he is a patient guy that practicing riders can trust. He would be great for someone who is learning to go over their first jumps, as he is steady and maintains a rhythm. Cruz will also jump a bigger course and doesn’t bat an eye at decorative jumps, walls, planks, and more. He has a comfortable and smooth jump.
In the hunt field, Cruz has been ridden by both experienced and up-and-coming staff members. He is happy to lead or follow. While hunting, he is absolutely trustworthy and doesn’t mind hounds around his legs and feet. He is good with any type of footing, whether muddy or trappy, and will happily cross water. He doesn’t mind going through thickets/heavy brush and is sure-footed. Cruz is good around traffic, bikes, and machinery. Cruz is a straightforward type that is safe and he will take care of his rider in the hunt field. Cruz has jumped coops, stone walls, timber jumps, and logs. Most notably, Cruz has an absolutely amazing canter that feels like you are floating.
In the barn, Cruz is just an easy going guy. He stands in the cross ties to be tacked, is good for the farrier/vet, and loves his grooming sessions. He has a “sweet spot” right on his belly. Cruz lives out in a mixed herd and is easy to catch. He is a chill guy that gets along with all his field mates. Cruz will also stay in a stall and is neat and tidy - he likes to stay clean during the night, even if you have bathed him the night before a hunt. Cruz does crib, but it is controlled with a collar.
Cruz is the type of horse that will turn heads with his beautiful coloration and presence. He has an easy-going personality and has enough experience to teach a rider their basics or be a ride that a more experienced rider will enjoy. Cruz is ready to form a partnership with his next rider and will take care of them, from introducing a rider to their first time out walking with hounds or moving on to a staff position.
