Companions: Mares

Blue Cross Orla

  • Companion horse
  • Happy to live in a mixed herd
  • Good to handle
£180
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 16hh / 163cm
  • Companion horse
  • Happy to live in a mixed herd
  • Good to handle

Orla is a lovely Irish Sports Horse mare looking for a home as a non-ridden companion. She is good to catch once she has settled and thrives with kind, sympathetic handling, as she can be a little ear shy at times. Orla leads well, is good for grooming, feet picking and vet visits, and is happy to be tied up with a haynet while being fussed over.

She is currently living out 24/7 in a mare herd and has previously lived happily in a mixed herd, making her a sociable companion. Orla doesn't require restricted grazing, so would suit living alongside other similar horses. As her confidence grows, Orla is continuing to relax and show her sweet nature, and we feel she will blossom into a rewarding companion in the right home.

Blue Cross Wilma

  • Companion Horse
  • Gentle Giant
  • Sweet Natured
£180
  • Warmblood
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 14 years
  • 16.2hh / 168cm
  • Companion Horse
  • Gentle Giant
  • Sweet Natured

Wilma is a lovely Irish Sport Horse mare who came into Blue Cross care in July 2026 due to a change in her owner's circumstances. Since arriving, she has been settling in well and showing great progress, with her confidence growing all the time.

Wilma is looking for a companion home with someone who will continue to build her trust and help her develop at her own pace. She is good to lead, enjoys being groomed and is happy to have her feet picked up. We are currently working on improving her catching and helping her become more confident in new situations.

Wilma lives out 24/7 and happily shares her space in a mixed herd. She can also part stable, provided she has equine company nearby. As she is a good doer, she does require some grazing restriction to maintain a healthy weight. Wilma would make a rewarding project companion for someone who enjoys forming a close bond with their horse and supporting them as they continue to flourish.

Blue Cross Dorris

  • Companion horse
  • Sweet natured
  • Can live out 24/7 or part stable
£180
  • Thoroughbred
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 21 years
  • 16hh / 163cm
  • Companion horse
  • Sweet natured
  • Can live out 24/7 or part stable

Dorris is a lovely mare looking for a home as a companion after coming into our care due to her owner's change in circumstances. She is a sweet-natured mare who gets on well with other horses and is happy to share a hay pile with her field companions.

Dorris is currently living out 24/7, and is happy to be with mares or geldings. Once she has settled into her new environment, she is good to handle and enjoys human interaction. She is very easy to catch, happily accepts her headcollar, stands well for all four feet to be picked out, and enjoys being groomed while tied up with a haynet. Dorris can be a little forward when being led in new surroundings, so she would be best suited to a handler who is confident around larger horses. She is very good for both the vet and farrier, does not require overly restricted grazing, and would make a fantastic companion for other horses looking for a kind and settled field friend.

Blue Cross Kitty

  • Companion horse
  • Ideal grass eater
  • Good to handle
£180
  • Thoroughbred
  • Chestnut
  • Mare
  • 15 years
  • 15.2hh / 158cm
  • Companion horse
  • Ideal grass eater
  • Good to handle

Kitty is a beautiful 15-year-old, 15.2hh chestnut Thoroughbred mare looking for a loving new home as a non-ridden companion.

Kitty is a lovely mare who enjoys attention and would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a larger companion. She is easy to catch, enjoys being groomed and is generally straightforward for everyday handling, including the farrier and vet. She would benefit from a calm, confident handler who can offer reassurance and consistency.

Kitty is currently living out 24/7 with other mares and has previously lived happily alongside geldings. She enjoys having equine friends around her and would suit a home offering plenty of companionship. She is equally happy living out or enjoying a more pampered routine with some time in the stable.

This gorgeous girl would love a home where she can enjoy her retirement, plenty of grazing and all the fuss and attention she deserves. With a settled routine and a caring owner, Kitty has lots to offer as a much-loved companion.

SUPER GENUINE PLEASURE HORSE – SMALL BUDGET! 🍀

16.1hh | 13yo | Wetherbys Registered Thoroughbred Mare

A really lovely, genuine and uncomplicated mare with a glowing CV from her previous home of 9 years, where she was very much considered Mrs Reliable!

A super opportunity for someone looking for a kind, easy pleasure horse with plenty to offer, without spending a fortune.

ROR eligible, she was lightly trained as a youngster before spending the majority of her life as a much-loved pleasure and hacking horse.

She has also enjoyed some small jumping over both coloured and rustic fences, along with a handful of fun rides, giving her a lovely varied education without ever being overworked.

A real sweetheart who has regularly been used as a nanny to young horses. Described by her previous owners as exceptionally kind, quiet and straightforward.

A particularly lovely stamp of a mare, deep-bodied, clean-limbed and attractive, with no known vices.

Low mileage through absolutely no fault of her own!

Having spent much of the last two years enjoying life as a rather expensive field ornament, she was recently tacked up and hacked straight down the road before having a ride around the arena, having not been ridden for TWO YEARS!

She was light, easy and simple to ride, without any fuss whatsoever. A real credit to her temperament and previous education.

Previously bred a foal, with no reported previous medical issues. She has been exceptionally well cared for throughout her life.

I genuinely think she could look an absolute picture between the white boards or enjoy some showing classes. Equally, she would make someone a lovely pleasure horse to enjoy hacking, fun rides and general riding club activities once brought back into regular work.

A genuine, sweet-natured mare with plenty of life left to enjoy.

She is being offered at a very sensible price as she stands, reflecting her time out of work rather than any known issue.

An absolute bargain for someone prepared to bring her back into regular work and enjoy her!

SINEAD

16.1hh | 2022 Thoroughbred Mare

A beautiful young mare with an exceptional temperament and a very exciting future ahead!

Sinead is a lovely 16.1hh Thoroughbred mare, bred by ourselves and originally destined for a career in racing. Although her future has taken a different direction, we genuinely believe she has so much to offer and could become an incredibly special horse for the right person.

By Sholokhov, Sinead has lovely movement, natural athleticism and a beautiful, well-put-together frame. She is a quality stamp of a horse, with plenty of substance, a kind eye and a wonderful presence.

A temperament that really sets her apart

What makes Sinead so special is her exceptionally kind nature and just how straightforward she is to own, handle and work with.

She is a sweet, genuine young mare with a sensible attitude and a willing approach to life. She is an absolute pleasure to have around and takes new experiences in her stride.

Whether being handled around the yard, ridden at home or travelling out to a new environment, Sinead approaches things with a lovely attitude.

One of her biggest qualities is how manageable she is on your own. She is straightforward to load, handle and work with, without needing a whole team of people to help with everyday tasks.

Athletic, willing and full of potential

Sinead has already shown herself to be a super jumper, with the natural athleticism to make an exciting prospect for a future in sport.

She has been schooled in a variety of aspects of riding and has enjoyed doing a little bit of everything, giving her a lovely foundation for someone to continue developing.

We can see her potential as a:

* Eventing prospect

* Show-jumping partner

* Hunter

* Versatile all-rounder

* Quality young horse to produce and enjoy

She is still young, so her education will continue to develop with time and experience. For someone looking for a talented young horse with a lovely brain and a positive attitude, Sinead offers an exciting opportunity.

A lovely addition to an equestrian home

Sinead could suit a variety of homes looking for a young horse to bring on, whether the aim is to compete, enjoy different disciplines or develop a long-term partnership.

Her combination of athletic ability, sensible attitude and affectionate nature makes her a particularly appealing prospect.

She is reported clean and sound, with no vices, and is fully eligible for Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), subject to the relevant eligibility requirements.

As she is currently unnamed on her official racing records, her new owner will also have the opportunity to choose and register her name, making the beginning of her next chapter even more personal.

Could Sinead be your next special horse?

Sinead is a genuinely lovely young mare with so much to give. She has the temperament to make everyday life enjoyable, the ability to explore a variety of disciplines and the potential to become a very special partner for someone willing to continue her education.

We bred Sinead ourselves, and finding her a wonderful home where she can flourish and reach her potential is what matters most.

A beautiful, kind and exceptionally straightforward young mare, ready to discover her future beyond racing.

Looking for a 5* home for my grade A semi-retired showjumping mare

  • Perfect all rounder
  • A lovely, safe and sound horse to enjoy
£2,500
  • Zangersheide
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 19 years
  • 16.2hh / 168cm
  • Perfect all rounder
  • A lovely, safe and sound horse to enjoy

I have owned this mare for 12 years and she is and always has been an absolute pleasure to own. She is fit and in work (currently still out showjumping 1.10-1.15m… winning most of the time!) She is showing no signs of slowing down yet, but it’s best for her to start slowing down soon, retire from the showjumping and enjoy the simpler things in life. I am therefore putting this ad on to see if anyone is looking for a lovely, safe and sound horse to enjoy.

She is not mareish at all and very easy to do. She gets along with both geldings and mares, and can be turned out with either, a group, just one other or on her own. She is great to load, shoe, clip, turn out and bring in, handle in the stable/shows/out and about/everywhere. She has the sweetest nature and not a bad bone in her body. I have always felt safe around her and on her.

I am happy for her to retire completely with me, however if there is someone out there that is looking for a lovely horse to enjoy whether that is to ride/hack or have as a companion/unridden, and has more time for her than me (I work full time) then I would let her go because this is what would be best for her and what she deserves.

This would be a heartbreaking sale and I would only let her go to a 5* home. Please no time wasters. I am open to any questions and have thousands of pictures and videos to share.
