Maybe an Irish Tinker is more efficient for recreative purposes than a Shire Horse...
They have a lot in common but the advantage is that a tinker is a lot smaller.

your link doesn't work..

All I know about shire horses (My boyfriend ownes a crossbreed with tinker) that they usually are very cool and have a layedback attitude.
They are not easily scared (some exceptions ofcourse)...
Sure they gallop, no problem....

your link doesn't work vigor! I'll translate your answer in dutch Knipoog

"Ik wil graag weten of shires geschikt zijn voor recreatie, zijn ze nieuwsgierig en leergierig en kunnen ze galopperen??"

Ik reageer daar gelijk even op (translation: I'll respond directly to your question)

I think that they are good for recreation, I guess...gallop should not be a problem to them I think...

real tinker look a bit different..
They tend to be smaller and broader than our horse.
Ours is going to be about 1:75m..so he's is going to be quite a bit bigger than a tinker.

for a tinker foal or yearling your looking at somewhere between 1500-2500....

Mature tinkers are usually somewhere between 2000-4000.. (they can also be a lot more expensive)

It depends on what you're looking for..

i am far of being professional, and i rather would not take an obligation of traing a yearling to a sadle an mess something up. but also depends if i would have someone to help me. but price is reasonable Lachen

You can always come across a nice crossbreed..and they may be cheaper than a horse with full pedigree...

Vigor, in Germany the use of heavy horses (for riding) is far more common than here in the Netherlands. Schwarzwalder Fuchse for instance are a well-known and much used breed there. As I gathered that you originate from the Tchech Republic or Slovakya or any of those countries (sorry if I mix country names, I certainly don't want to offend you; my geography was never much, and since the last changes I have completely lost track Knipoog - edit: I just found out you're from Kroatia, sorry ) I more or less expect that you also speak some German. Those countries might offer something more closer to home, as it were.
I do know that German companies like Hu&Hott have saddles and bridles especially for heavy horses, and they wouldn't sell them if there wasn't a market for it in Germany. Also there is a magazine called Marktplatz, and a site with the same name, where ads for heavy horses can be found.

Good luck! Prices in Germany can be a bit steep though....

Oh, and I will redirect your topic to BKR, a subforum that's meant for questions about the heavy and classical breeds.
