Super sweet Irish Sports Mare


Ref #: 403783
  • Rising 5, by the well known stallion My Eclipse (son of Shaab) out of an ID mare, fab temperament
  • Currently standing between 14.2hh and 14.3hh and bum high – should finish around 15hh
  • Backed and riding away sensibly, loving hacking out, ready to produce. Up to date with everything.

  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 14.2 hands
  • Rising 5, by the well known stallion My Eclipse (son of Shaab) out of an ID mare, fab temperament
  • Currently standing between 14.2hh and 14.3hh and bum high – should finish around 15hh
  • Backed and riding away sensibly, loving hacking out, ready to produce. Up to date with everything.

A very sweet young mare with a nice start and the breeding and temperament to develop into a fab small allrounder, Oti is confident and kind. A compact type with a willing attitude, backed and straightforward to do, she’s not been rushed and has not been jumped, a genuine blank canvas ready for someone to produce and put their own stamp on her.

Owned since she was 1 (direct from her breeder at Tremayne Irish Draughts in Cornwall), she’s a fabulous and much-loved little mare and she wouldn’t be going anywhere if she’d grown a hand bigger – sadly she’s just not grown big enough for me.

She has recently been professionally backed proving very straightforward to do, and is currently riding away sensibly at her backing yard in Cornwall.

Oti is already a pleasure to have out and about:
- She’s done plenty of groundwork including lots of long lining. Easy on the ground, on the yard, in the stable.
- Professionally backed and riding away very sensibly for her age – she’s brave, willing, unspooky and not phased by things, should make a proper ‘have a go at anything’ sort.
- Hacking out and genuinely enjoys it – is the same whether she goes first or last and has been out alone around the farm with no problems.
- Confident being in the indoor school but still extremely green.
- Good in all traffic seen so far, including tractors.

She is:
- Level-headed, biddable, and should prove easy to produce.
- A friendly people person, generally wants to be with you and involved in whatever you’re doing.
- Good with other horses, easy with any routine or management.
- Great with the farrier, has always been barefoot and regularly trimmed, up to date with this.
- Great with the vet, up to date with vaccinations, teeth, worming. Wolf teeth removed a couple of years ago.
- Fine in her stable and with being left whilst others go out.
- Easy to catch: has always come to call, follows you around the field.
- Confident with new experiences & takes things in her stride.
- Kind with children, good with dogs (has been used to lots of dogs since I’ve had her).
- Not phased by machinery and tractors (we had lots of work done on the yard whilst she was a baby and she was super interested in watching it all).

She’s realistically priced due to her relative lack of experience to date:
- She’s backed & riding away very sensibly but hasn’t been out to shows / seen much of the world yet.
- I’ve never clipped her or bathed her, I don’t think she’d have a problem with either (she’s had the back of clippers all over her whilst on with no issues) but she’s never done it.
- She’s an inexperienced traveller because I’ve never had transport.
- She’s got a very tiny cold splint that has never caused any issues, from hooning around being a youngster on lots of land in the spring last year.

Location:
Located in Cornwall between Falmouth & Helston at her backing yard, she's now in regular ridden work and her price will increase the more she does.

Who she’d suit:
Oti would suit someone kind and experienced who’s looking for an easy little mare to produce this summer. No novices purely due to her age – she deserves a balanced rider capable of furthering her education. She’d turn her hoof to lots of things, should be a lovely all rounder for all ages.

No loans, no LWVTB, no payment plans. Genuine enquiries only please.

  • Wanted 13:3 - 15:1 hh Safe and sane happy hacker
  • Experienced long term loving home awaits right horse
  • Gelding preferred but non marish mare considered

Due to the loss of my wonderful Connemara in January I’m searching for my new best friend.

I primarily hack but would like the opportunity to do beach rides and holidays away with my friend and her horse.

I’m not adverse to a veteran or a horse/pony with health issues as long as fully disclosed. Something that’s been there and done it but now needs a quieter life would be ideal.

Must be good in all traffic and travel in a trailer.

I’ve owned and ridden horses all my life but I’m now in my sixties and no longer brave so no bucking, rearing, bolting or napping, no project horses and no dealers.

In return I can offer a long term experienced home on my  own land at my home with other horses, all year turnout with field shelter and stabling as required 

References available.

Realistic budget for the right horse.

Top quality Traditional gelding


Ref #: 403978
  • Good mover and well marked
  • Unshown to date- Fresh face for the ring!
  • Kind and willing
£8,500
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 8 years
  • 14.3 hands (LHC)
  • Good mover and well marked
  • Unshown to date- Fresh face for the ring!
  • Kind and willing

A real solid 146cm, flashy traditional who will hold his own in the county show ring or be a fun all rounder for a competent rider.

Thomas is a lovely cob and is a forward thinking ride, he is not a stuffy kick along cob and as such needs a rider who is used to a turbo cob type.

He was bought by current owner for HOYS / RI classes but owner is not well enough to take him in the ring herself and sadly daughter has lost interest, so he’s been a bit wasted and has just hacked round over the winter.

He’s got great paces and will really flick his toes on the flat, he’s got a lot of power and needs to be given an appropriate job, either showing , possibly dressage with a bit more flat work, doing RC etc.

He also enjoys his jumping and pops small fences happily for a change of activity. He’s the type who thrives on work so someone active who wants to really get stuck in would suit him best.

He was started under saddle late and as such is still a bit green for his age but very willing to learn and is a kind soul.

Thomas enjoys his hacking both alone and in company and is excellent on the road. He will go first or last.

He’s a lovely cob to have on the yard, happy to live in or out, good to catch, bath, clip/trim, shoe and polite in the stable.

Seen at livery.

Gorgeous 14.1h dun 4 year old registered Connemara mare n/n hoof wall

Lovley sensible pony with a bright future, straightforward for her age and could easily be brought on by a child Whilst she is still big enough for an adult.
Loves her jumping, has the heart of a lion and never says no.
Hacks alone or in company
Good with all sorts of traffic, she is a very bold Pony nothing really bothers her
Snaffle mouthed
Good to catch load travel shoe clip ect
Can live in or out with mares or geldings
Her flat work due to her age is basic, she will walk trot and canter around the school with absolutely no problem but hasn’t really learned to work in an outline yet but this will come she she’s just a young Pony.
She’s had a lovely start to her education and most of the work she has done has been enjoying the countryside.
Her only vice is that sometimes she’ll put her ears back at you over the stable door, I’ve got no idea why she does this she’s not mareish at all to handle and when you go in the stable and when you get her out of the stable and do anything with her she never does this it’s literally just if she’s got her head over the stable door occasionally she will just put her ears back at you but she will never do anything You just have to ignore it.
She pretends she doesn’t like a fuss but she actually really does??

No lump or bumps
Recently passed a 5 stage vetting

  • A cob that loves to jump
  • Fun low level allrounder
  • Easy to handle in every way
Malcom is a super sweet natured and easy to have around.

On the flat he is responsive to your leg and has nice forward paces but is still very much more kick than pull.

He happily pops around a small course of fences including fillers. He’s never spooky. He’s a real confidence giving type.

To hack Malcom will go up the main road alone and in company, in front or behind. He’s not bothered by lorries or fast cars. He’s passed building sites with moving machinery not battering an eyelid.

For the past 3 years Malcom has been with a young girl in a pony club home. He’s been to unaffiliated shows and regularly placed. Sad sale due to school commitments and outgrown.

He’s an absolute saint for the farrier, easy to clip, load, travel, catch etc

Malcom would make someone very happy and will them with confidence.

He would make a great addition to someone’s riding school, RDA, low level all rounder or happy hacker.

Malcom is sold with a full wardrobe of rugs, bridle and fitted saddle.

  • Loveable, safe and quiet
  • Needs to find his forever home
Rocky is a 16-year-old black Irish Cob with a kind, gentle nature. Before his ridden career he was driven, which has helped shape him into a very sensible and reliable horse.

He would be ideal for a family home looking for a safe, easy horse to enjoy hacking in the countryside, beach rides, and relaxed days out. Rocky is calm, affectionate, and a pleasure to handle.

While he will work in the school, it is not his favourite environment. However, with consistent work and patience, he is likely to become more comfortable there over time.

Rocky has no known vices, no health issues, and is sound with clean limbs. He is easy to manage in all ways – good to load and travel, good with the farrier, clipping, and the dentist.

He is being sold on behalf of a client due to a change in personal circumstances, and this is a genuine and sad sale as Rocky is a much-loved horse.

Rocky is a true gem with plenty to offer the right person. Viewings and vettings are welcome.

The sweetest and most genuine cob you could wish for! To make someone very happy, a super family cob, happy hacker, would possibly suit riding school. Carrot is a super chap, as wide as he is tall and like riding a comfy small armchair. He loves his hacking alone and in company, hasn’t been at all bothered by any traffic met with us and is very sensible.

He’s not the fastest but not overly bothered if out in company and he gets left behind by his sportier friends! Carrot is working sweetly in the school in all paces and will trot over a little jump, he’s very keen to please, he is still green but obedient to the aids and learning about outlines; he’s naturally very together on the flat , he’s a lovely mover and will with further schooling do a lovely dressage test.

He’s a super model of a traditional cob who moves really well and would do well in show ring (TGCA would be ideal for him) He’s still on the greener side of things but a very simple ride and always tries to please, his brain is wonderful to work with. He has been ridden by a variety of riders with us from confident novice upwards, everyone loves him! He has the most lovely can do attitude and just gets on with whatever you ask of him. With a bit more schooling he will do a very neat dressage test. Whatever he ends up doing he will give a lot of fun.

Carrots lovely temperament continues in and out the stable, he’s excellent to catch, box, clip, bath, feet trim ( barefoot v good feet) and just wants to be your friend.

Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He doesn’t drive yet but would look wonderful in harness and has the right brain to do this job safely.

He has a lot to offer his new owners and we look forward to seeing him make someone really happy.
