For sale my heart horse Ace

He is a 14.2 silver dapple Blagdon and he’s beautiful.
This is a heartbreaking sale but I just don’t have the time.
He is 5 year old 2020, he was backed by myself and always been a dream. He’s been on a cart once and didn’t put a foot wrong.
He’s good to do in every way , shoe, clip, travel he has no lumps/ bumps and never sick or sorry.
He’s done fun rides, beach rides, somerford park and lots of hacking, he’s fine alone but prefers company but is never silly.
He has 3 nice paces in the school but very green, it’s something I just haven’t had much interest in.
He’s been to two shows and again behaved like a star.
He will only go to the most loving home, he’s been my baby since he was 1 and he’s used to lots of love and I will only let him go to the right home.
Would love him to go to a mother / daughter share and someone to adore him like we do.
Because of his age I wouldn’t want him to go to a novice home but this horse is as bomb proof as you can get.
Please no time wasters! This is really a heartbreaking sale which I’m scared I will regret but I have to think of Ace and also think of myself and my family with time etc.

4 year old, blue and white cob, with 9 inches of good clean bone.

Backed last year in Ireland, had some time off in this country and then picked him up again in Spring. He’s coming along nicely with 3 balanced paces and loves his jumping.

Started a little x country, been through water and not phased.

A lovely kind genuine chap who will give someone a lot of fun, whether you aspire to showing or just want a good all rounder/ mother/ daughter share.

No problem to load and travel.

Fine with farrier and dentist.

A sweet affectionate boy who Im very sadly advertising due to lack of winter turnout and lack of time to ride every day.

Plenty of videos if you WhatsApp me.

By Barleyfield Murphy’s Law x Friesian mare. Reg TGCA

To make a large native show type to make 15.2. Very well marked. Lovely mover and temperament. This filly has the loveliest of fronts with a good length of rein.

Well handled in all ways.

One for the future as a large native horse. Not many like this come on the market but due to my personal circumstances I am cutting back.

Will only sell to a competitive home.

Ollie is a 15h section D cross. Beautiful looking palomino gelding.

Been in the same home since he was a foal. Started his riding education late and it has not been consistent. He started out well and came on nicely but as he's learned more he's gotten more opinionated.

He needs consistent work to bring him on to his full ability and I cannot do that for him. Not a novice ride, he's been with Sean Hardy doing some intensive training to get him working and ready to go to his next home.

He has done a novice show and did Windsor sponsored ride last year, where he behaved beautifully. Has popped a small jump but hasn't done much formal schooling, we mostly hack out.

Lives out all year. Good for the farrier and the dentist. No injuries or dental issues that are known. Will load and travel alone, although hasn't done it that often. Ollie needs someone who is willing to carry on his education and really make him shine.

Hugo is a lovely pony, we have owned him since a yearling. He was backed last year and turned away, has come back fantastic this spring. Lovely soft mouth and schooling well in all three paces, he loves to please and is a real head turner.

Has been shown locally in hand, and won every time out in good company. Will be a definite contender for toys and fabulous all rounder.

He is a great second pony, and not your typical kick along cob he is forward going and flashy.

He went to his first country ride this week and loved it, remaining safe and sensible even when galloping in a large group.

Serious enquiries only.

Ivan
16.2HH (approx) 6 year old Irish Draught gelding by the Grade A SJ stallion Moylough Vision.

Ivan was a just backed 3 year old when I bought him, but he has grown far too big for me, hence this will be a very sad sale of a much loved boy and will only be sold to the rugby home.

I have brought him on slowly and carefully giving him time to mature. He hacks alone and in company. Is schooled regularly and is straight and correct. He has been out regularly attending UA SJ, dressage, arena eventing, combined training and cross country schooling. He has also been autumn trail hunting.

I am sure he will excel in the hunting field or show ring.

Ivan has been well handled on the ground, and is excellent to shoe, bath, clip and loads easily onto a lorry or trailer.

He is up to date with teeth, vaccinations, back and worming.

Ivan is in daily work, so is fit and ready to go.

He is unsuitable for novice/nervous riders as he can still have green moments.

Open to vetting.

SD PacMan - 2024 future stud / show prospect to make approx 14’2hh.

PacMan was born and bred here by the world famous SD Cobs/DixieDownMeadows. TGCA assured breeders and winners of the TGCA breeders/stud of the year.

Needless to say he is bred to perfection with many greats throughout his lineage.

He is being offered sensibly priced to the right home, we would love to see him out in the show ring and or future stud for someone’s approved breeding program as he has all the qualities to make an outstanding stallion. That being said if the right home meant him needing to be gelded that could also be arranged.

He has an amazing temperament ( you wouldn’t know he is a colt) and is easy to handle in ways, good to catch, load, wash, farrier etc. Fully wormed etc upto date.

Viewings welcomed. Any further questions please call.

Proven eye-catching and kind ID

For your consideration stands Edgewater Godfrey, an eye-catching 4 year old Irish Draught gelding. Godfrey is a very good looking young horse with a beautiful temperament. He has three very balanced paces and convinces through his excellent conformation.

This kind gelding has made his mark in many ID show classes in Ireland with judges complimenting him regularly on his ride and are astounded by his young age. Out of the eight shows he completed up to date, he won five and finished no lower than third. His greatest achievement was his win of the young Irish Draught class at Royal Balmoral Show and also standing Champion Irish Draught there.

It was in Balmoral that he qualified for the IDHB (GB) Champion Challenge at the National Show in Onley in September this year and he is offered for sale with the ride. His passport is already overstamped, which makes him ready to compete.

Adding to his success in the showring, Godfrey is a horse who is very enjoyable at home to ride. He is not easily spooked and takes everything in his stride. He enjoys being hacked regularly, both alone and in company, with and without the farm dogs as companions. He currently lives out, apart from the night before a show, where he just as happily stays in. He is easy to clip and shoe, has been regularly wormed and his teeth are done.

As part of every young horse's education, Godfrey was jumped in the beginning of the year by a professional rider, who complimented him on his technique. However, as we focused on showing, he hasn't been jumped since April and hence is still green.

Godfrey's incredibly comfortable paces and his kind temperament would also make him an ideal potential side saddle prospect.

He stands in Ireland and any viewings are very welcome! This wonderful horse deserves a good home in which he can continue to develop and reach his potential.

SOLD!

  • Palomino
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 14.1 hands
  • Safe and enjoyable ride
  • Genuine and sensible attitude
  • Stand out colour and conformation
Still available through absolutely no fault of his own, only due to not yet finding his perfect person!

A fantastic stamp of a cob with a great attitude, he is easy going and genuine without quirks, and absolutely loves people!

In the arena he is nicely forwards and supple with a lovely rhythm and balanced, expressive paces. He is established in basic lateral work. He is progressing everyday in his schooling and has a fabulous light contact.

Has been out to many dressage competitions and has just attended the summer BD Area festival competing at novice level, for which he behaved impeccably and was an absolute joy to take out. He stands at the trailer, is well behaved in the warm up and does not get silly or over excited. He always receives lovely comments from the judges and turns heads everywhere he goes! He has also been out to regular clinics in indoor and outdoor arenas.

Brilliant to hack and goes out alone and in company, really good in traffic and not phased by bikes, dogs etc.

He also likes jumping and pops small jumps at home. Has been out to a couple of hound exercises just for fun which he thoroughly enjoyed and was well behaved at. Doesn't get silly or hot up in a group.

Would suit someone looking for a safe confidence giving allrounder to compete in dressage, pony club, showing, go hunting or hacking. He really loves his dressage so it would be fantastic to see him go on to continue his dressage career with someone! Would suit an older rider or child or a para rider with more training.

Good to bath, clip, load, travel, groom, tack up and catch. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and vaccinations. Shod in front. No vices, lumps or bumbs.

Very reluctant sale. Please ring for more details, looking for a 5 star home for this perfect pony. Open to vetting
