Super cob with lovely manners and a really kind temperament.

Cluedo is happy to hack out alone or with other horses and he will go past any traffic without a fuss.

He is great both in the school and in the field and he will jump all the logs and pop over little courses of jumps with ease but is never silly or strong.

Cluedo would make a fantastic family friend and would give someone lots of fun and look after them.

Very good to box, catch, shoe and will stand for hours being washed and groomed !

A super family or R/S type.

Neil has been professionally and slowly retrained with eventing in mind. He is a super smart horse and really would be suitable for grassroots eventing, BE 90/100 eventing, Riding Club, RoR showing. He is RoR eligible, having won two RoR Challenge classes in 2026.

He has been out this summer to training events with our local riding club, TAP, RoR and local competitions including UA ODE, arena eventing, hunter trials. 

He is stunning on the flat with three very good paces and has been scoring late 20’s in dressage phase. He could therefore do well in pure dressage.

Neil has jumped confidently around his first fun ride across Leicestershire country this autumn proving to be confident and sensible. He hacks out in company and alone and is good with traffic and farm machinery.

He is a lovely horse looking for a well-deserved forever home!

🩶 ROSIE — A QUALITY IRISH DRAUGHT WITH MORE ABILITY THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT! 🩶

16hh 2017 full Irish Draught mare, IHR registered

Rosie is a lovely example of an Irish Draught horse whose steady, laid-back manner hides some serious talent! She loves an outing, enjoys having a job and has plenty to offer a confident rider wanting a quality, capable all-rounder.

She has spent the past month with us for schooling, and we have taken her both cross-country and showjumping, where she has been fantastic — brave, willing and thoroughly enjoying herself. Jumping really brings out the best in her, and she certainly surprises you with her scope and ability!

Her previous experience includes hunting, showing, Pony Club camps, beach rides, fun rides and stay-away outings. She has previously competed over 1m and schooled over 1.20m at home. With three lovely paces, she has plenty to offer on the flat too.

Rosie hacks alone and company, she is lovely and easy to be around not mareish at all,with a lovely nature.

Finding the right match for Rosie is important. Following her sale to a novice home, she has became bored and needs more.
Although experienced steady and capable, she does have the odd opinion about something and just needs to be told, consistent work and an active life has completely stopped this so we would like her to go somewhere she’s kept busy and enjoyed.

We feel she has all the ingredients to make an absolute dream hunter or a top-end riding club horse, with exciting potential for grassroots eventing. A horse to get out, have fun on and enjoy everything she can offer!

There really aren't enough good things we can say about this one! He is a lovely person, everyone's favourite and enjoys any job.

Bruce has raced on the flat and has recently started learning about being a riding horse after a year off from racing. He loves to please, is a beautiful mover (Dressage Divas, this one should catch your eye!), makes a nice shape over a fence and is good in traffic.

We have taken Bruce to a few outings, where he was impeccably behaved. He is learning about working in a consistent outline, is balanced and responsive to ride in the school, and we have found him to be quiet to hack both alone and in company. He seems to particularly enjoy pole work and we have trotted him around a small course of show jumps. He has also been introduced to solid fences and water, all of which he has taken in his stride. Recently, Bruce went to his first dressage competition where he was impeccably behaved and received lovely comments from the judges.

Bruce would be ideally suited to a home looking to produce him into an allrounder or dressage horse, and generally looking for a best friend as he gives the best cuddles! He is RoR eligible and we can certainly see him excel in the white boards.

Bruce had a superficial tendon injury towards the end of his racing career which is fully healed (leg was scanned before he came to me) and had a splint removed from his left fore in the spring this year. Neither of these historic niggles should affect him in his future career. He is a truly lovely horse who I wouldn't mind keeping myself! Bruce is much loved by his owners who owned him since a yearling and kept him with their own horses during his spell after racing. Only the best homes need apply!

Super Allround Competition Horse

16hh 6yo Mare by Grandodaro TN x Emillion

A super fun, competitive little super star, fabulous teenagers / amateurs horse that has been produced beautifully and is established for her age.

Rides superbly on the flat, is very well schooled with a snaffle mouth, flashy elastic comfortable paces, is very correct and rides easily in a soft round outline. She does all her flying changes and basic lateral commands , done some prelim and novice dressage tests with success.

Has showjumped to 1.10 cm level , has a great technique and is very flashy. She will never touch a pole and has so much untapped potential. Has the potential to make a top horse with an exciting future. She also loves going cross country and would have potential to make a great junior BE eventing horse for grassroots next season.

Done all PC / RC activities, cross country schooled and been to the beach and on forest rides with 16 year old girl. Would also suit a teen looking to take a special horse to boarding school or college, or a mother / parent - teen share,

Penny is a beautiful jet black mare with two back white socks, 16h Irish draught X

She’s one that stands out anywhere you go

She has impeccable manners on the ground. She really is a lovely horse to have on the yard.

Penny has three lovely paces in the arena her schooling is coming along lovely she’s a very willing mare and just wants to please you. She also happily pops round a little course of fences which she throughly enjoys.

Penny has been out to the forest where she has been swimming in the river, jumping over logs and tyres. Which she had a lot of fun and would suit someone looking to do stuff like that in the future

I’ve taken her to mine and her first time to an unaffiliated showjumping competition where she was amazing she stood to be tacked up, with me fussing all over her and being nervous as it being my first time too. She made me feel confident on how well behaved she was being. We went into the warm up arena where there was all types of horses cantering around jumping and she took it all in her stride.

Penny is great to hack alone and in company she has seen all types of traffic and wasn’t fazed she’s more interested in being nosy at peoples houses 😂.

You can take her in an open field without any worry that she’s gonna be silly or make you feel unsafe.

In a group hack she’s happy to lead or be at the back same with cantering.

Penny is more woah than go but she’s not to the point where she wouldn’t listen to your leg she’s the perfect horse if your looking for something laid back but will have a bit of go about her when you ask.

I think penny would suit a competent teenager Or adult looking for something ready to go out and have fun at the woods, shows, hunting etc

She also has recently passed a 5 stage vetting

I have loads of Vidoes and any other questions please feel free to ask

Glencarrig Blake

Sire: Blakehill Sparrow (I love you Melody)

Dam: Glencarrig Spring Rose

Blake was backed and ridden away in Ireland over last winter and has now had some solid foundations put in over here and is ready to start with a new partner who can have loads of fun with him.

He’s seen a lot of variety in Ireland jumping various fillers, popping some XC jumps and hacking up the road and seeing traffic. He’s got 3 correct and balanced paces, he is a bold, brave and forward ride not a kick along so wouldn’t be for a novice rider.

He’s competed in his first dressage competition gaining +67% taking everything in his stride. He’s yet to go out jumping but is great in new environments and not spooky so this won’t be an issue. He hacks out alone or in company and isn’t fazed by much at all but can have a baby look at things being only 5yrs old.

He’s a cracking model of a horse with good confirmation and clean limbs. He would excel in any sphere, SJ, dressage, eventing or workers (he would measure in)

He’s good to load, catch, shoe and clip and is good in the stable. He would happily live in or out and gets on great with other horses.

He’s a competitive horse through and through and is still green in his education so no novices please.

Flori is a beautifully marked, 16hh, 6yo mare.

I bought her unbroken from her breeder so her full history is known. She has been an absolute pleasure to do in every way, right from the beginning.

She is brilliant to hack - alone or in company. Seen lots of heavy traffic and machinery, she doesn't bat an eyelid at any of it. Good and sensible in open spaces, doesnt get strong or silly at all.

Lovely to school, forward off the leg without being strong, always in a snaffle. Lots of potential either showing or dressage as she moves really well, recently got 69% and finished 3rd in her first ever prelim.

Very straight forward to a fence, never stopped etc. Currently teaching a novice 14yo child on her and she really looks after her. Been to arena hires and doesnt look at any fillers. Flori would suit a mother daughter share, a competition home or would just make a wonderful allrounder for somebody wanting to go out and have fun.

She is good to catch, load, travel, worm etc. Barefoot as has very good feet but well behaved for the farrier too.

I can't fault this mare in anyway, she is a favourite on the yard and homes will be vetted.

A magnificent chunky 15.1hh 4yr black cob gelding by Cairnview Forest . He was bred at Cairnview stud and has been in the same home since a foal. This stud is known for producing top class high quality cobs. Coal is WIDE, leg at each corner type.

I think you’d have to throw yourself off to fall off of him 😂

He is beautifully put together, compact, good clean bone and tonnes of mane and feather. A show cob of the future.

He has been well produced. Is calm and sensible for his age. He acts like a 10yr. The type the whole family can enjoy from the kids to the grandmother.

Done beach rides, countryside hacks and works in the school. Has started jumping proving bold and brave and popped some logs out hacking.

So if you’re looking for a solid sort that is dependable and kind. He will be the one for you.

Ace is a stunning grey 16hh AES registered 4yr old gelding by Cadensky. (Cornet Obolensky) Sire and dam both successful at 1.60m.

Ace is a super event or show jump type. Plenty of blood and lovely rangy canter. Very uncomplicated nature, kind and very genuine to all sorts of fences. Gives you the feel he ll make a great event horse! He has type of temperament that can be produced by a teenager or amateur. Ridden by my teenage daughter.

Ace is naturally brave and has a careful scopey jump, so he would progress up the levels BE or BS, and still be someone’s best friend!

He hacks alone and in company, and is safe and calm in open spaces.

I have had Ace for over a year, I started him correctly with time off to grow, inbetween having a varied life with plenty of hacking, competing dressage, SJ. XC training.

Ace is 5 years old next year, so he's now ready for someone else to enjoy him, and take him in whatever direction they desire!

Otto is a 5 yo appaloosa bought as a project for my daughter in 2024. A full up 15.3hh / small 16hh. Full pedigree available.

Bought from breeder as an unbacked 3yo, his education started at a professional breaking yard for a year where he was very slowly backed / turned away /brought back into work. Hacked daily and flourished in this routine. Brought to us in April 2026 and continued his education in full livery, incorporating schooling and other disciplines. He is green and still needs to progress but has all the ingredients to be a nice horse.

His education was interrupted when he split his nose and had to have two months out (fully recovered and no obvious scarring). He was in significant pain and remained calm and relaxed, even when the vets had to stitch him up / remove stitches with only sedation. His temperament is truly lovely and he is a real yard favourite. However, this interruption meant that his education has slowed. We have recently picked it back up with 3 x PW groundwork, TRT and light schooling.

He is very capable, we just don't have the time or capacity to continue with it due to personal circumstances. An extremely quick learner and has taken to his ground work very quickly - he really enjoys learning.

- Loads and travels well

- Attended pole clinics and rallies.

- Excellent to catch and on ground.

- Good with farrier - barefoot and his feet are great.

- Up to date on all injections etc.

- Lovely temperament and loves people.

- Full pedigree available.

We have taken it slowly as he is too good to rush however, he really deserves to be enjoyed more.

I am not looking to sell him to somewhere that he will be raced into the ground, he needs a confident and experienced owner who can continue his journey.

He does have a medical condition which will be disclosed but does not effect his daily life nor his future, however, he will not pass a vetting due to it.

He is POA as home is of the utmost importance.

Full wardrobe / tack and rugs available on separate negotiation.

Videos and photos available on request.

15.1hh Dun Connemara Gelding – very honest advert - Sold at Trade Price

  • Jumps well - very slowly
  • Connemara
  • Buckskin
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.1hh / 155cm
  • Jumps well - very slowly

Reason for Sale: he’s now 7 I’ve owned him for 3.5yrs and realised he is never going to be forward enough for me. Needs lots of leg but way more forward into a jump and in a field. School sour on the flat. He is quirky but that isn’t why he’s for sale. He’s not quiet or small enough for my young children/beginner but not forward enough for me. He has been my hacking/BS club SJ/fun ride horse to accompany my children. I’ve got other younger horses coming up who can start to do that job.

Pricing: please make me an offer for a quick sale, he is not vice free, he’s blemished and is quirky so lower price expected.

Breed: Full green book Connemara. Nicely bred.

Hoof wall: N/N negative for HWSD

Age / Height: 7 years old / 15.1 hh (might be bigger now)

Colour/blemishes: Dun (with a couple of white marks on his black legs, guessing from an accident as a foal). Has a fat knee from a kick in the field August 2025, all X rayed. Would not do well showing and too impatient to stand mannerly at a hunt. Very attractive, but muddy and fluffy at the moment.

Location: East Sussex

Vice: yes!! windsucks/cribs. Stops with a collar, we don’t use it. Never affected him.

Jumping: please check out my Instagram of full rounds of him jumping and videos of him jumping at home. He has never stopped at a show jump with me ever! Double Clear at his first One Day Event (many time faults from walking between fences). Has a very good BS Club record (feel free to look it up). Reserve Champion (70cm Showjumping) at the Sunshine Tour in 2025. Very often the slowest clear round.

Easily pops 1m20/1m25 for fun at home. See videos on Instagram. Wouldn’t have enough steam to get round a course of that height right now. Qualified for the big BS show at Stonleigh in 2026 in the 80and 70 club classes from two shows.

Whilst he is currently second in the 2026/7 South East BS club league (see screenshot) at both 80cm and 70cm (I don’t want to pay for full BS membership) I don’t think he would make a proper BS horse as he is too slow, I feel like I carry him around on my back round the course. Whilst he is slow he never stops, jumps off any stride and has some sort of footwork magic in getting over some big fences… but incredibly slow. 😂

Travel/Loading: Loads and travels brilliantly, but gets impatient at shows, so we travel him tacked up and get straight on.

Disclosed Quirks: Will have a leap if horses leave him behind. See videos of this on Instagram. It’s not very athletic. Rodeoed with me a bit on the way down to the arena at Hickstead at the sunshine tour (despite jumping clear), busy environments/warm up rings put him very on his toes. Has also rolled with rider on his back three times when bored at clinics waiting his turn to jump. Does not stand still at the mounting block (I hop on from the ground). Will also paw the ground when waiting his turn at Riding Club clinics. He’s super impatient, it’s really annoying. People say “busy brain” I say “idiot”. Have I put you off yet?

Feet/Maintenance: Incredibly cheap to keep; exceptional barefoot feet (best I have ever seen) even on stoniest ground; up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming checks. Good for the farrier but might bite their bottom if I don’t stand by his head (he’s an idiot).

Personality: Full of character/a bit of an idiot. Will playfully pull items out of my bag and chuck them across the yard (so annoying) and will let you lie down with him in the field for a snooze).

Hacking/Traffic: Hacks alone or in company; great with cars; may plant feet when meeting tractors and need a boot past, but never nasty. Tends to plant his feet if worried rather than anything else.

Ideal Home: Competent, experienced home with a lower budget who has the patience for his quirks and vices and can ride him actively forwards, strictly no novices. It would be lovely to find someone who clicks with him in the way that I do not!!!

Tack: no tack or rugs available, other horses share his bridle and rugs and his saddle will be adjusted for another horse.

See more pics and videos on my Instagram @rachrich18. Looking for a quick sale. Experienced home more important than price.

Evie is an absolutely gorgeous 15h rising 5 year old grey Connemara mare. For sale on behalf of her owner.

Evie is one in a million who has so much class, quality and potential with the most amazing temperament to match. She is very well bred being class 1 registered with 5 generations of pedigree recorded. She is a very eye catching and really stands out from the crowd. She is an ideal size for teens coming off ponies as well as adults so would make a brilliant mother/ daughter share too, she’s a lovely stamp with a nice deep girth so would easily take a taller rider. She is a very desirable type that will do lots of jobs. She has excellent conformation, is blemish free and has straight movement with very good feet (Nn for hoof wall). She is very correct and show quality, she would excel at working hunter. She is the perfect alrounder who excels across all disciplines with a real “can do” attitude, she is lovely now but has so much more to come with a very exciting future ahead of her. Best of all she is very safe sensible and rideable and is always a pleasure to work with.

Evie has three super paces. She works correctly between leg and hand into a soft outline. She is nice and light in the contact and always ridden in a snaffle. She gives you a lovely feel down the rein and is very equal on both reins. She is a good medium speed who goes nicely off the leg but is not at all sharp or sensitive. She's very rideable well balanced and nicely schooled for her age. She is nice and straight forward to ride with a good brain to work with; she’s very sane and sensible. She is a good girl to ride and doesn’t have any ridden vices. She has such a lovely attitude to her work and is a quick learner who always puts a smile on her riders face. She has the potential to excel in dressage, she has been out to arena hires and is now ready to go to a competition and work her way through the levels. She would also look super in the show ring.

Evie loves her jumping and makes a lovely neat shape over a fence. She goes into a fence in a lovely relaxed rhythm without rushing. She is very honest and genuine to jump. She doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward and wants to do the job. She is very bold and jumps all fillers and water trays first attempt confidently. She has been to several jumping arena hires and training clear rounds where she has shown lots of potential for all riding club activities. She is very easy to ride around a course of fences and has currently been jumping around 80cm. She is very good to ride at new places and has a very good attitude to her jumping. She is now ready to go out to clinics and competitions.

She is equally as bold over xc jumps. She is very ridable and jumped everything asked of her in a sensible manner including water and ditches. She is a very straight forward ride and jumps out of a balanced rhythm. I can see her really excelling as an eventer too as she shows lots of potential at all 3 disciplines. She would make a super Cotesworld cup contender with some more mileage on the clock. She would also be very suited to working hunter.

Evie is lovely to hack both alone and in company. We are directly on a main through road and she is good with traffic, we just pull into a driveway to allow lorries and tractors to pass her where she stands quietly. She is super in open spaces, just takes everything in her stride and goes along with a smile on her face. She is very mannerly and will canter happily in any order on an easy rein. She was great cantering through stubble fields and didn’t get at all competitive. She has been on pleasure rides which she loves and is so much fun. She would be very well suited to someone wanting to combine pleasure rides with riding club, or equally just one or the other.

Evie has a superb kind friendly temperament. She is extremely polite and respectful of your space. She loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend as she is so interactive and forms a really strong bond with her person. She loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. She is a good to handle in all ways. She lives in and out and is happy turned out next to or in with other horses, she is very quiet in the field and gets on well with all horses and ponies. She loads perfectly (single handed) and travels like a dream. She really is such a genuine honest horse who deserves the best of homes.

Evie would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies and adults alike. She would make a fabulous riding/pony club horse as she has bags of potential across all 3 disciplines. He would also suit a home wanting to do lots of hacking/ pleasure rides. She would also suit a home wanting to do some dressage show jumping or eventing competitively. Sadly only for sale due to her owners sudden change in circumstances, owner would love to stay in touch. She is a real yard favourite and I have a real soft spot for her so she is only available to a 5* experienced home. She is very sound and healthy, passed a 5 stage vetting a couple of months ago.

Ashley (Ash) is an absolutely gorgeous 15.1h dapple grey 5 year old Connemara x warmblood mare. For sale on behalf of her owner.

Ash is one in a million who has so much class, quality and potential with the most amazing temperament to match. She is a very striking dapple grey and catches the eye where ever she goes. She is an ideal size for teens coming off ponies as well as smaller adults so would make a brilliant mother/ daughter share too. She is a very desirable type that will do lots of jobs. She has excellent conformation, is blemish free and has good feet (Nn for hoof wall). She flew through a 5 stage vetting in July which can come with her and she is open to another if wanted. She is the perfect alrounder who excels across all disciplines with a real “can do” attitude, she is lovely now but has so much more to come with a very exciting future ahead of her.

Ash works really nicely on the flat and has 3 super paces. She moves really nicely, flicks her toe and has a lot of scope to her paces. She works correctly between leg and hand into a soft outline. She is snaffle mouthed for everything. She is a good medium speed who is nicely forward going with good transitions but not sharp at all. She is a lovely straight forward ride who gives her rider a great feel. She is schooling lovely now but still has more to come as she strengthens up and matures. She has such a lovely attitude to her work and is a quick learner who always has a smile on her face and wants to please. She has so much potential to excel in dressage, she has been out to arena hires and clinics and is now ready to go to a competition and work her way through the levels.

Ash loves her jumping and makes a lovely shape over a fence. She nicely takes you into a fence and is very honest and genuine to jump. She doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. She is very bold and jumps all fillers first attempt confidently. She has been to several jumping arena hires and training clear rounds where she has shown lots of potential for all riding club competitions ect. She has been jumping around 80cm courses currently with potential to jump higher, but again hasn’t been rushed. She has also been attending pole work clinics which she loves. She is very good to ride at new places and has a very good attitude to her jumping. She has done a few small jumping competitions in Ireland with her previous owner and is now ready to crack on and go competing over here. She is equally as bold over xc jumps. She was very ridable and jumped everything asked of her in a sensible manner. She has done some areana eventing clear rounds where she was great fun. I can see her really excelling as a pony club/ riding club alrounder. She would even event as she is good at all 3 disciplines, so a lovely Cotswold cup contender.

Ash hacks alone and in company. She is good with traffic and is sensible in open spaces. She is confident to lead and also good in behind. She has also done some fun rides in her previous home in Ireland.

Ash has a superb kind friendly temperament. She loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend as she is so interactive and forms a really strong bond. She loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. She is a good to handle in all ways.

Ash would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies and adults alike. She would make a fabulous riding club/ pony club alrounder. As well as a lovely dressage and eventing prospect. Sadly for sale due to her teenage owner losing interest and prioritising her other hobbies. Her owner would very much like to keep in touch as she thinks a lot of Ash and it’s been a really hard decision to come to. Based in Ramsey Peterborough. 07460820294 £11,500

Rainbow was bred by a local farmer , she is out of a hunting mare who was very easy and kind and rainbow takes after her,

Rainbow was professionally backed as a 4yr old, rainbow was then purchased by current owner who has just been happy hacking , the odd time in the arena but not been over schooled or over worked so she’s a nice blank canvas for someone to put there own stamp on

Rainbow is good to catch, clip, bath, shoe , trim, travel, load, traffic

Hacks alone or in company , mainly hacked alone for the last 2 years.

Rainbow has some nice paces and with a bit of time could do a lovely dressage test, pops coloured poles and fillers not phased by them.

Rainbow has a very relaxed outlook on life and is never in a hurry to do anything so would suit someone wanting a happy hacker as well as someone wanting to take her for low level competitions.

Rainbow can be a bit grumpy to other horses if fed in the same feild , but if separate from them she’s fine, not at all marish for the humans to handle you wouldn’t know if she was in season or not so not your typical mare

She’s a chunky sort and a very good doer!!!

This is a very sad sale due to no fault of her own

Penny is a beautiful jet black mare with two back white socks, 16h Irish draught X

She’s one that stands out anywhere you go

She has impeccable manners on the ground. She really is a lovely horse to have on the yard.

Penny has three lovely paces in the arena her schooling is coming along lovely she’s a very willing mare and just wants to please you. She also happily pops round a little course of fences which she throughly enjoys.

Penny has been out to the forest where she has been swimming in the river, jumping over logs and tyres. Which she had a lot of fun and would suit someone looking to do stuff like that in the future

I’ve taken her to mine and her first time to an unaffiliated showjumping competition where she was amazing she stood to be tacked up, with me fussing all over her and being nervous as it being my first time too. She made me feel confident on how well behaved she was being. We went into the warm up arena where there was all types of horses cantering around jumping and she took it all in her stride.

Penny is great to hack alone and in company she has seen all types of traffic and wasn’t fazed she’s more interested in being nosy at peoples houses 😂.

You can take her in an open field without any worry that she’s gonna be silly or make you feel unsafe.

In a group hack she’s happy to lead or be at the back same with cantering.

Penny is more woah than go but she’s not to the point where she wouldn’t listen to your leg she’s the perfect horse if your looking for something laid back but will have a bit of go about her when you ask.

I think penny would suit a competent teenager Or adult looking for something ready to go out and have fun at the woods, shows, hunting etc

She also has recently passed a 5 stage vetting

I have loads of Vidoes and any other questions please feel free to ask

15.2 hh 5yo by the well known event stallion Party Trick

This little mare will have a go at anything and will bring such fun to a small adult or teenager.

By the famous advanced event sire Party Trick, Fiore was bought as a just-weaned foal to bring on for her owner but has not grown big enough. She was backed and broken with Nick Gauntlett's Party Trick posse as a 4yo and was completely straightforward, hacking out alone from day one. However, as an August foal she just wasn't ready to bring on that winter so she went to a family yard for 6 months where she was hacked and schooled by all members of the family including a teenaged girl, and went out on bridleways, roads and fields in company and alone.

As it is now clear she is going to remain a small horse, she is being professionally produced for sale, but all her riding is by a young groom as she is so straightforward. She came out day 1 in her new home as laidback as ever, as she did at her first arena hire where she jumped all coloured, solid fences and fillers with no issue. She does not get hot or silly and is a blank canvas for someone to bring on and have loads of fun with. She has three good paces, and would suit any rider.

She will stand in the cross-ties and be fussed all day, affectionate without being pushy, has lived in or out, or a mixture, and is very cheap to keep!

This is a totally genuine sale of a fab little horse who has only had one owner since weaning (see pic!) and deserves to go to a long-term home where she will no doubt give someone tonnes of pleasure.

5 (rising 6) year old mare by Calibre Royale out of 5* eventing Mare Star Nouveau

Introducing Piper, a beautifully bred 15.2/15.3hh mare that is 64% Thoroughbred, with outstanding credentials and the potential to follow in her dams footsteps.

Her dam, Star Nouveau, is a proven 5* campaigner, having successfully competed at Badminton, Burghley, and Adelaide, who is by Goldstar. Piper carries all the quality and bloodlines to make a serious future event horse.

Piper is a sweet-natured, athletic model. She has been lightly started and is ready to progress. Piper has been produced slowly and correctly. She has attended a few arena hires and XC schooling sessions, showing a willing attitude and boldness in her work. She offers three expressive paces and a careful, compact jump that gives confidence for her future in sport.

Piper is still green and in the early stages of her education but is showing all the signs of a quality young horse.

She is great to hack, clip, good for the farrier, easy to handle, super on the lorry. She is the dream on the ground.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase such an exceptionally bred young mare with the temperament, movement, and pedigree to go far.

Only for sale as she is sadly too small for her current rider/breeder and is priced for a quick sale.

15.2hh 5yo Irish Draught mare by Cappa Casanova out of a young Carabawn mare

A lovely, genuine mare who has been in the same home since a 2yo and carefully produced by an amateur with her future as a family horse very much in mind.

She has never been rushed and spent her first year under saddle hacking, allowing her time to mature and gain confidence. She hacks happily alone or in company and is good in traffic. Cookie is super sensible and not spooky. She has also been on a couple of fun rides, where she behaved impeccably.

Cookie has only recently started working in the school but is already proving to have an incredibly trainable brain. She is green in the school but very responsive, with a beautiful soft mouth and a lovely attitude to her work- ready to go to her first shows, which will be reflected in her price if she stays with us to do these.

She has also only recently been introduced to coloured fences and is proving super bold. She is unfazed by fillers and water trays, very straight to a fence and naturally maintains a lovely, steady rhythm both to and away from a fence.

She is a genuinely easy mare to have around and in every aspect of her day-to-day care.

Cookie could really go down any path and I'm sure she will excel at whatever she does.

Sadly, due to a change in circumstances, she is looking for a new home. She was always intended to be a forever family horse, and her education has reflected this throughout. She has been given time to grow, learn and develop with her long-term future in mind.

A lovely young mare with a sensible attitude, a trainable brain and plenty of potential to go on in a variety of directions with her next person.

Open to vet.
