  • Jack could turn his hoof to almost anything
  • He absolutely adores people and thrives on attention

Jack is a beautiful stamp standing at 15.3hh with a lovely, sweet nature. He absolutely adores people and thrives on attention and a good fuss.

Jack schools sweetly in a snaffle, knows all of his basics, lovely balanced canter and has a very trainable brain. He would be a great candidate for someone wanting to bring out their inner dressage diva and enjoy producing a lovely horse on the flat.

He also loves getting out and about, long forest rides, relaxed mooches, scenic canters, and popping logs or ledges along the way are all right up his street. To top it off, he never says no to a splash in the river at the end of a ride.

Jack hacks happily both alone and in company and is polite in traffic. On the ground he is an absolute sweetheart who enjoys affection and a good groom. He is exceptionally kind with other horses and always wants to be everyone’s best friend. He has grown particularly fond of Billy the donkey and, during bad weather, has even shared his stable and hay pile overnight with him, a perfect example of his kind and easy-going nature.

Jack could turn his hoof to almost anything and would happily excel in a variety of homes, whether that be happy hacking, dressage, Le Trec, or similar activities.

Due to Jack’s age, he would be best suited to a rider who is established in all three paces.

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

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
