Hermits Metallica

  • TGCA Licensed
  • PSSM & FIS Clear
£6,500 ONO
  • Cob
  • Cream
  • Stallion
  • 5 years
  • 13.3 hands
  • Smokey Cream (double dilute)
  • TGCA Licensed
  • PSSM & FIS Clear

An elite and rare opportunity to acquire a top-quality dilute stallion with impeccable conformation, movement, and temperament.

He was backed last year and spent the winter/ spring developing into a confident riding horse, happily hacking alone and in company, also schooling lightly (green but very willing) he is now ready to further his education. His kind, laid-back nature is second to none, safely handled and ridden by my 9 year old niece, and consistently gentle in all situations.

Hermits Metallica has already proven himself both in-hand and under saddle, winning at county level on his debut with exemplary behaviour.

As a breeding stallion, he has been successfully used both in-hand and at liberty, getting all mares in foal on first cover. He is also dummy trained and extremely easy to collect from.

With striking colour genetics and prestigious Hermits Stud lineage, he is a dream find for any breeder seeking to introduce colour without compromising on breed type or temperament.

He will make a fabulous ridden/ In-hand show prospect or equally if gelded a wonderful childs best friend.

  • now ready to find her forever home

With Gracie, you are getting a sweet-natured, affectionate pony who also has the potential and talent to become a competitive pony and bring home the rosettes.

An eye-catching pony, professionally broken and turned away to mature, now brought back into work. Great on the ground, lunges well and proving to have great scope. Lovely to handle in and out the stable. She loads first time, travels well, and is generally a very easy-going girl.

Her size and build make her equally suited for children or lightweight adults, making her an excellent mother/daughter (son!) combination. She is now looking for her next home where she can continue to excel and be someone's childhood best friend. 

She has been here with me at the same home since a foal and has been brought on slowly and correctly to ensure she is a safe, happy pony with a willingness to please. She is easy to shoe, travel, and handle. She is happy to be stabled or living outdoors. She is fantastic to do in all ways.

Peggy is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard. Super easy and uncomplicated to do on the ground from bathing/clipping/farrier/dentist.
Undersaddle, Pegs is a lovely forward going ride and easy off the leg. She's excellent in the school and will happily walk/trot/canter. Peggy has popped over a few jumps however jumping isn’t really my thing so she really hasn’t done much of this at all. Although I’m sure she would be great. Pegs hasn’t been rushed, so she's a great clean canvas for someone to really mould her into something special!
Peggy hacks out alone or in company going first or last. Nothing phases Pegs while out be it lorries, motorbikes or even deer! She has done farm rides and beach rides.
She is up to date with all injections teeth and farrier. Loads fine on a trailer or box and travels well.
She is PSSM1 negative and tested Homozygous, meaning she will always throw a coloured foal if you wanted to breed.
Registered with CHAPS.

A lovely dun yearling filly, she was a early foal being born January 2024 to make between 14hh and 14.2hh
Out of faidre lady may, a direct daughter of cascob jack flash
By hillgarth maxxy's ghost, a direct son of hwylog ivanhoe

This filly has been out all summer and rubbed some of her mane. I have a feeling she has sweetitch (NOT CONFIRMED BY VET), she has been stabled for that last month with daily turned out and she has stopped rubbing, if sweetitch this would be manageable with daily care. Has the potential to be a top class SHP. A really easy yearling to do everything with.

I don't know what she would be like to box as was born with me. Only forsale as reducing number, please feel free to contact at any time. If no answer please send a message

13hh and just as wide 5year old Fell mare Lunesdale Bramble .

Very good stamp of a fell with excellent breeding would definitely go far in the show ring .

Broken in as a late 3 year old and has been gently ridden since. Has been given months off before and just jumped straight back on , a really easy type . Very kind on the ground and would happily be dragged around all day by children .

Mainly only been ridden alone on hacks since I dont often have anyone to go with and is very sensible. Goes over water and ditches no questions asked . Started schooling where she needs more time put into her and showjumping which she has really enjoyed! So would make an excellent working hunter with the time put into her .

Been to the beach and behaved impeccably . She is barefoot with very good tough feet , always behaved for her trim.

Based north Devon and feel free to pop me message with any questions if interested.

Would consider part ex with money my way

  • Kind, patient temperament. My daughter does everything with Mabel, she’s so calm and well mannered
133cm beautiful 5yr old mare please don’t be put off by her age she certainly has an old head on young shoulders, this pony does it all.

We bought Mabel as a potential HOYS junior coloured pony but my daughter has outgrown her before they’ve had chance to do any qualifiers.

Mabel has the kindest temperament and is super chilled. She’s amazing to hack with traffic and in open spaces, she hacks alone in groups first or last, she absolutely loves hacking. Shes not spooky or silly and takes everything in her stride, nothing bothers her she’s even ok with riding over railway bridges while trains go underneath her!

She travels beautifully in a lorry or trailer and is calm and well behaved when out and about. She’s been to group lessons, working hunter shows, xc schooling, dressage, flat shows and is off to stay away dressage camp.

Mabel has beautiful paces and is progressing well with her schooling. She’s more woah than go and will happily trot round cross country or show jumping but will step up to canter when asked.
Mabel has given my daughter so much confidence and fun we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect pony!
She’s such an easy pony to have around you can pick her up and put her down, she’s the same if ridden every day or left for a week or two. She’s perfect for a nervous or novice child wanting to hack out and have freedom cantering across fields or a more established child to school on.
Available after dressage camp ending 14th August.

Home is most important as Mabel is very special to us and we’d love to stay in touch.

SD PacMan - 2024 future stud / show prospect to make approx 14’2hh.

PacMan was born and bred here by the world famous SD Cobs/DixieDownMeadows. TGCA assured breeders and winners of the TGCA breeders/stud of the year.

Needless to say he is bred to perfection with many greats throughout his lineage.

He is being offered sensibly priced to the right home, we would love to see him out in the show ring and or future stud for someone’s approved breeding program as he has all the qualities to make an outstanding stallion. That being said if the right home meant him needing to be gelded that could also be arranged.

He has an amazing temperament ( you wouldn’t know he is a colt) and is easy to handle in ways, good to catch, load, wash, farrier etc. Fully wormed etc upto date.

Viewings welcomed. Any further questions please call.

  • 5 years

  • Safe and enjoyable ride
  • Genuine and sensible attitude
  • Stand out colour and conformation
Still available through absolutely no fault of his own, only due to not yet finding his perfect person!

A fantastic stamp of a cob with a great attitude, he is easy going and genuine without quirks, and absolutely loves people!

In the arena he is nicely forwards and supple with a lovely rhythm and balanced, expressive paces. He is established in basic lateral work. He is progressing everyday in his schooling and has a fabulous light contact.

Has been out to many dressage competitions and has just attended the summer BD Area festival competing at novice level, for which he behaved impeccably and was an absolute joy to take out. He stands at the trailer, is well behaved in the warm up and does not get silly or over excited. He always receives lovely comments from the judges and turns heads everywhere he goes! He has also been out to regular clinics in indoor and outdoor arenas.

Brilliant to hack and goes out alone and in company, really good in traffic and not phased by bikes, dogs etc.

He also likes jumping and pops small jumps at home. Has been out to a couple of hound exercises just for fun which he thoroughly enjoyed and was well behaved at. Doesn't get silly or hot up in a group.

Would suit someone looking for a safe confidence giving allrounder to compete in dressage, pony club, showing, go hunting or hacking. He really loves his dressage so it would be fantastic to see him go on to continue his dressage career with someone! Would suit an older rider or child or a para rider with more training.

Good to bath, clip, load, travel, groom, tack up and catch. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and vaccinations. Shod in front. No vices, lumps or bumbs.

Very reluctant sale. Please ring for more details, looking for a 5 star home for this perfect pony. Open to vetting

Mother's absolute dream

The ultimate child's pony, mother's dream and a childs bestest friend.

A real money can't buy pony and the hardest decision I've ever had to make, they don't make ponies like this anymore and are hard to come by

Been there done it and done it all hoof perfect.
Would take any child through the ranks from lead rein pony, 1st pony & 2nd pony. Well put together, stocky leg in each corner kind of pony.
Could go on for days on just how perfect she is at everything.

You want a pony who is 100% safe and will look after your child she is the pony.

Shown at county level, hacks alone or in company. She's never ever put a hoof out of line and always done everything we've ever asked of her we've had her 3 1/2 years she Isn't spooky or nappy never bucked reared or done anything silly. Not lazy and has good breaks.

she's not only ridden by a child but she's handled by a child every day from loading/tacking up/lunging it is done by a child. Rides and leads well has done sponsored rides, beach rides, showing, a complete winning machine and holds her own in the show ring no matter what, pops a little fence nicely, fun clinics, lots of hacking and everything inbetween.

Good to clip/shoe/catch and everything else you can think of.

A pony I could put my life on.

Her ONLY down fall if I'm being completely honest is she prefers to travel loose if alone. (This has never fased us)

The only reason I'm even considering selling her is because I'm kidding myself trying to make my son (9 years old) love my hobby as much as I do and his really not interested as much as it kills me she so deserves to be a child's world and be out there winning pretty rosettes 

Would love her to go to an experienced showing home where she will be treated like the princess she is but again this is only my preference have 100s of photos and videos of her and will only go to the best of homes.

Open to vetting.

Transportation can be arranged.

Won't sell unseen.

Located in Kent.

Tack & rugs can be available.

Only for sale no loans, joy riders or time wasters.

And I must warn you I will probably cry a lot

it will be the best money any parent could spend for the safety of their child.
