Cleveland Bay horses for sale in Newport

The Cleveland Bay, often simply called the Cleveland, is a prestigious British horse breed originating from the Cleveland area of North Yorkshire, England. Developed since the 17th century, this breed is renowned for its striking bay coat with black points—mane, tail, and legs—and its powerful, muscular build. Cleveland Bays typically stand around 16 to 16.2 hands high, with a well-arched neck, broad back, and strong, clean legs. Known for their intelligence, calm temperament, and stamina, they make excellent all-round horses. Historically, they served as all-purpose farm and carriage horses, famously chosen by the British Royal Family for their reliability and strength. Today, their versatility extends to competitive driving and riding, and they are valued in crossbreeding to enhance sport horses. Despite their royal connections and qualities, Cleveland Bays remain a rare breed in the UK, with breeders dedicated to their conservation.
