Una

Super lovely all rounder

Really sweet and kind temperament.

She was broken earlier this year and has been super straightforward, she is riding nicely in the arena and has hacked both alone and in company. Been on the roads a few times and didnt mind about the traffic, seen farm machinery ect.

A really easy horse to handle and deal with both on and off the ground. When she matures and fills out would probably look very smart hogged out.

Hopefully going to get her out xc schooling next week.

She is a real sensible type with a laid back nature, ready to go and see the world and have lots of fun

Fudge can be viewed at the professional yard where he has been backed / ridden away - sale due to lack of time and finances.

Stunning dun cob gelding!

Dun. Irish cob . Gelding . 8yo. 16.2hh

Stable name - Buddy 

-Kind nature
-Great temperament
-Becomes part of the family

Buddy has got one of the nicest temperaments you will ever find in a horse. He loves having fuss and attention and will stand to be groomed and pampered for hours.

He is a great allrounder. He schools lovely on the flat and has three balanced paces.
He definitely one to make it to hoys or county level. He is a great versatile cob he also has a lovely jump and has proven to be very willing and honest to a fence.

He is good to hack alone or in company. Not phased by farm machinery or the heaviest of traffic. In my opinion I truly believe you would be a life time trying to find his double.

This gelding is top quality and one that will go far! I believe he would be a great hoys contender for a maxi cob or show hunter.

He is good to load and travel.
Upto date to all vacs, teeth, back etc

LW cob
Absolute super star has successfully shown at HOYs, RI, London horse show. She is training towards elementary level at home and loves jumping. Would excel for dressage or low level eventing.

Shes super straightforward to ride and do everything with. A real over grown dog she will follow you round the yard. Never rude or bolshy a light soft ride never strong or silly. Shes obviously a competitive horse so would prefer her to go to a competition home not a hacking home.

She hacks out well hasnt hacked alot on her own but has been no issues with us on her own. Currently barefoot.

Broodmare

100% in all traffic, safe and sensible to ride, has not done dressage or jumping with me purely down to lack of transport but would happily do these. Will ride first or last. She will look for confidence from her rider if she is unsure.

Has shown in hand locally and her behaviour is impeccable, she would easily be able to contest the affiliated in hand and ridden classes but sadly as mentioned above we have not been able to peruse these due to lack of transport.

She has clean limbs and correct true to type conformation and would also be an asset to any stud as a broodmare - has had a couple of foals previously and has been a fantastic mum.

100% on the ground to handle, she is more like a oversize dog! Good to bath (not too keen on her legs) shoe, vet, teeth, load etc!

Lucy is only available to the very best of homes as this is not a decision that has been taken lightly and is a heartbreaking sale due to my circumstances, she has been in the same home for 5 years and it took me years to find her.

Please note she is currently in her winter woolies and lives out 24/7.

All homes will be vetted

  • 10 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Flashy eye catching cob
  • Super easy to keep
  • Genuine horse in all ways
10 year old 16.1 gelding for sale. Max is an Irish sports cob who was imported from Ireland 5 years ago to be a mother daughter share, however my daughter is now giving up and he his too good to just be a happy hacker with me.

In the 5 years that we have owned Max he has been to regular clinics, fun rides, camps, hunting, dressage and county shows regularly coming home with rosettes. He hacks out alone and in company, where he is happy to be first or last.

Jumping is one of his favourite things, he will jump anything and gives his rider lots of confidence. He is currently jumping at 80cm but has scope to go bigger.

We regularly refer to Max as a bit of a turbo cob as he enjoys his work and is very much more go than woah therefore not for a novice/nervous rider. He does best when he has a job and would turn his hoof to anything. A pony club/hunting/competition home would be his idea of heaven.

Easy to clip, shoe, load, travel etc.

Will live out 24/7 but will also stable. Has lived with mares and geldings always getting on with everyone.

Max is up to date with his vaccinations, teeth and physio.

£15,000 with full tack and wardrobe. Which would include a Kent &Masters dressage and GP saddle, his bridles and rugs.

Open to vetting and instructors. Plenty of pictures and videos on request.
