  • Brave and honest, happy to stand around. Suitable for a multiple of disciplines.

Once in a lifetime horse and companion. KNOCKNACREE ESPRESSO is loved by all. His breeding is unrecorded but his sire is an unregistered Clydesdale and his dam was an irish sport horse mare.

Espresso is kind and genuine, and he loves attention from anyone who passes. He has been ridden by multiple riders and judges, each always getting off with a smile on their face.

This will be a very sad sale for our whole family, 5* home only considered. Espresso is for sale only because he deserves a good showing or hunting home where he will be brought to his full potential. We have other youngsters to produce including some of his siblings, so he will not get the attention he deserves.

He is only rising 5yo in the new year and already has gained experience with half a season showing and has even done guard of honour at 2 busy events.

Each outing he showed immense improvement, as both horse and rider learned the ropes of the Irish showing scene.

He loves to hack, happily rides alone or in company. Never silly or spooky. Doesn't pull, happily stands and waits and is an armchair to sit on.

Quiet to shoe, box and clip. Lives in or out. Clean limbs. No vices and open to vetting.

Serious enquiries only.

See video for loads of photos and videos of him over the years.

15.2hh 5yo Irish Draught mare by Cappa Casanova out of a young Carabawn mare

A lovely, genuine mare who has been in the same home since a 2yo and carefully produced by an amateur with her future as a family horse very much in mind.

She has never been rushed and spent her first year under saddle hacking, allowing her time to mature and gain confidence. She hacks happily alone or in company and is good in traffic. Cookie is super sensible and not spooky. She has also been on a couple of fun rides, where she behaved impeccably.

Cookie has only recently started working in the school but is already proving to have an incredibly trainable brain. She is green in the school but very responsive, with a beautiful soft mouth and a lovely attitude to her work- ready to go to her first shows, which will be reflected in her price if she stays with us to do these.

She has also only recently been introduced to coloured fences and is proving super bold. She is unfazed by fillers and water trays, very straight to a fence and naturally maintains a lovely, steady rhythm both to and away from a fence.

She is a genuinely easy mare to have around and in every aspect of her day-to-day care.

Cookie could really go down any path and I'm sure she will excel at whatever she does.

Sadly, due to a change in circumstances, she is looking for a new home. She was always intended to be a forever family horse, and her education has reflected this throughout. She has been given time to grow, learn and develop with her long-term future in mind.

A lovely young mare with a sensible attitude, a trainable brain and plenty of potential to go on in a variety of directions with her next person.

Open to vet.

He has been steadily produced, never rushed or over shown, the best is definitely yet to come for any new owner lucky enough to own this boy.

Eric is an outstanding mover for his class , has terrific limb. He often gets highest conformation mark. He’s up to height & exceptionally striking.

Ridden by myself at his first RI, HOYS & Royal Windsor Championship. Never put a hoof out of place & always looks after me. Eric has a good natural jump & this could be explored further. With his manners & schooling, he’d also be lovely to hunt.

Same owner & producer since 2020, and is part of the family. Current Producer would be more than happy to carry on producing him.

Very Reluctant sale 🥲 but too many young horses coming through.

No vices, perfect to catch, bath, shoe, clip, load, stable, travel etc etc. Very friendly & easy to do.

Substantial price required. Serious enquiries only.

Sunny -15hh rising 4yo absolute sweet heart of a cob absolutely nothing bothers him in life. He has been the best therapy while I have been ill.

He was broken and ridden out on hacks in company up until mid September and he came home for his holidays, he is going through a growth spurt so unfortunetly doesn’t look the straightest but he was poker straight when I bought him at the start of summer so i do believe he just needs to level out again.

He will make a beautiful sweet heavyweight for any level of rider once he is back in work. He loads , catches , stands to be trimmed and groomed and is getting to grips with the farrier for trims.

PLEASE NOTE HE IS OUT OF WORK AND i do not have endless videos as they just at the start of their ridden journey.

Based dumfries , Scotland happy to help with transport. Can be flexible on price for hassle free sale (no veiwing or vetting )

Lives out without a rug (never been rugged) good to bath , groom, load , first to the gate. Can be slightly flexible on price for a quick hassle free (no veiwing or vetting sale - ideal for dealer )

A genuine allrounder, Rabbit is safe sensible and forward going.

Rabbit has been successfully shown as a HW and a Maxi Cob with multiple wins and qualifications including 7th Amateur HW at Royal International and 5th Hoys HW at The Great Yorkshire

He is now retired from top level showing due to splints and windgalls but these do not stop him enjoying other activities. He would excel in dressage, jumping, hunting and hacking.

He hacks alone or in company very safely

Rabbit is a very genuine allround gentleman who always aims to please, he loves attention & work. Fantastic in all ways except clipping which he really doesn't like. I have travelled the country on my own with Rabbit showing at top level and he has always been a pleasure to take out and do alone.

Rabbit loves his jumping and is very brave not fazed by fillers and he loves water.

He loves to go out in the field and is currently out 24/7 Mar to Nov and then stabled at night in the winter.

This genuine gentleman thrives on attention and will definitely be your next best friend.

⭐ A lovely young gentleman with so much potential! ⭐

Blue has only recently arrived in the UK and has already impressed us with his wonderful, quiet nature and sensible attitude to life!

Quiet as a lamb and taking absolutely everything in his stride! 🥰

Blue was happily ridden by a 12-year-old girl, showing just how relaxed and willing he is in a completely new environment. Absoloutely super on the road .

Since arriving, we have schooled him and taken him hacking, and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with.

He is a lovely young horse with a fantastic attitude and plenty of potential for someone to put their own stamp on.

🐴 What’s next for Blue

We are planning to take him cross-country and hunting very soon, allowing him to gain further experience and continue his education.

💰 Sensible offers around the asking price will be considered!

Blue is available now, and the longer he stays with us, the more his price will increase as his education and experience develop.

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a lovely young horse before he progresses further!
