Belle is a lovely, sweet-natured mare who we have found to be easy to have around and in all aspects of her daily care.

Having recently come over from Ireland, where she did a small amount of hunting and riding club activities, she is ready to find her new home where she can give her new owner lots of enjoyment.

Due to her age, she is obviously still a little green; however, she has a great attitude to her work and only wants to please. She is a quick learner and really enjoys her work. A fun forward ride who is easy off the leg yet still remains sensible.

Belle has a lovely jump on her, and again this will only improve the more she does. She is very brave and has seen solid obstacles as well as show jumps and fillers.

Belle is great to hack both in open spaces and on the road in the heaviest traffic; with us, she has passed lorries and farm machinery with no issue.

A really lovely girl who we are sure will give her new owner loads of fun

Romeo – The Ultimate Confidence Giver

15hh 10-Year-Old Cob Gelding

Romeo is an exceptional 15hh, 10-year-old Cob gelding who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable and a genuine weight carrier, making him suitable for a wide range of riders—from complete beginners, nervous adults and children, RDA riders, those with additional learning needs, right through to more experienced riders looking for a calm, reliable partner.

Romeo is beautifully put together and truly is a horse who has been there, done that. Calm, considerate and always willing to please, he is the definition of safe and steady. He has far more “whoa” than “go” for less experienced riders, yet for a capable rider he has another gear when asked. His adaptability allows him to happily carry a complete novice one day and then enjoy a more forward ride with an experienced rider the next.

The Ultimate All-Rounder

Romeo has spent the last 12 months working in a professional riding school, where he has excelled with every type of rider, from complete beginners to advanced riders, both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

He has extensive experience in private and group flatwork lessons and regularly takes part in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. Romeo absolutely loves to jump and is confident over coloured and rustic fences, showing a careful, honest and bold technique. Prior to joining us, he competed successfully at low level in showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and has also enjoyed hunting.

Hacking is one of Romeo’s greatest strengths. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to some of the heaviest traffic imaginable, including double-decker buses, articulated lorries, tractors and all types of farm machinery. Nothing fazes him. He remains calm and relaxed in every environment and never becomes strong or silly. He can gallop across open fields with loose horses running alongside him before immediately coming back to walk on a long rein or standing quietly while other horses continue galloping around him. He is genuinely one of the most sensible horses you could wish to ride and is never sharp, spooky or silly.

During his time at the riding school, Romeo has been nothing short of outstanding. He is incredibly forgiving when riders lose their balance, lose a stirrup or make a mistake into a fence. He always looks after his rider and never takes advantage. His substantial build, combined with his calm temperament, sure-footedness and kind nature, gives nervous riders enormous confidence. He will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as required without moving a foot.

I can honestly say Romeo has no quirks, vices or unpleasant traits.

Although perfectly happy to amble along at a quiet pace, Romeo is responsive to the leg and offers three lovely, balanced paces. For a more experienced rider he will happily work into a soft outline while remaining relaxed and obedient. He has never bucked, reared, bolted, kicked or bitten. He is ridden in a simple snaffle at all times with no gadgets whatsoever.

Outstanding Manners

Romeo has impeccable manners both in and out of the stable. He will happily stand for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar. He is polite, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle.

He is equally happy living in or out and settles well whether stabled individually or turned out in a mixed herd, he is currently in a mixed herd and solo field in between lessons.

Romeo has an excellent health history and has never suffered from laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any significant lumps, bumps or soundness issues.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy feet but is equally happy to be shod if preferred. He is excellent to catch, clip, bath, load, travel, shoe, and is a pleasure for the farrier, vet and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance and requires no daily work. He can enjoy weeks or even months off before returning to work exactly the same horse. He maintains his condition well on a simple diet and is exceptionally easy to manage in every respect.

Romeo has also recently passed our annual Riding School Licence Inspection, the equivalent of a Stage 2 veterinary inspection.

A Horse You’ll Struggle to Replace

Romeo is a genuinely rare horse. Whether you’re looking for a confidence giver, a safe hacking companion, a family horse, an RDA-type horse, a riding club horse or simply an honest all-rounder to enjoy, he ticks every box.

He is a genuine schoolmaster who gives his rider confidence every time they sit in the saddle and will undoubtedly provide his next owner with many years of enjoyment.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular riding school stock rotation, we give our horses the opportunity to move on to loving private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-to-one attention and a more varied lifestyle. Romeo has been an exceptional member of our team and now deserves a wonderful forever home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available.

FULL WELSH BREEDING

Kerys came to A.E Equestrian last year to be lightly backed and then turned away to mature. She didn't take many weeks to get hacking out well.

About weeks ago when Keyrs came back we had a very honest discussion with her owner that whilst Keyrs was progressing well with being restarted she is a very young, green active horse who will take a good year to really settle to ridden life as she would like her, therefore she part exchanged her for another horse, more suitable to her lifestyle and riding confidence.

We think she is fab, she has all the bravado of a Welsh, is a powerful, active and attractive model and is proving trainable.

We believe she will be a fabulous all-rounder in time and excel in all RC areas, maybe working hunter will be her bag!

She needs a competent, knowledgeable home who understand the breed, and can competently educate just backed horses.

She is hacking well and has had a walk, trot and canter in the arena. She has popped a couple of small fences willingly. At the beginning of backing she did a couple of rears but rode on through this, she is a young horse with a big heart and even bigger personality so needs arson to match this.

Genuine enquiries please. She will carry to her education and hopefully join a fun ride or two in Autumn.

Forest – 15.1hh Grey Connemara Part-Bred Gelding, 6 Years

Forest is a handsome 6-year-old grey Connemara Thoroughbred gelding looking for an experienced home where he can continue his education and fulfil his potential.

He has been well produced and works nicely in the school, proving willing and enjoyable to ride. Kept on a busy agricultural yard, Forest is unfazed by tractors, machinery and the everyday hustle and bustle.

He hacks confidently both alone and in company. He is equally happy living in or out.

Forest is unshod, up to date with all vaccinations and is a pleasure to handle on the ground. He recently passed a 5-stage vetting, which is available to view for prospective purchasers.

He does have issues with loading in a trailer which is the main reason for the sale, as the extent to this problem was not disclosed at the time of sale. We have been told he travels well in both small and large horseboxes.

Forest is a genuine young horse with plenty of ability, but he is still learning and therefore requires a knowledgeable, experienced rider to continue his training. For this reason, he will not be sold to a child or young teenager.

A lovely horse with a kind nature and a great foundation, ready for someone to put their own stamp on.

OLAF III - 16H approx, 7yo AES gelding. (High Society x Imperial)



An athletic, competition, quality sport horse.



Olaf was bred locally with an aim to produce a 'top end' sports horse. He has numerous relatives competing from grassroots to top level across the disciplines.



Owned from a 3 year old Olaf has been slowly produced over the past 3 years with ourselves at A.E Equestrian on behalf of a caring owner who loves dressage.



Olaf is a modern light stamp with plenty of blood and a forward thinking and going nature. He was bred to jump and shows a good, natural technique which is largely undeveloped due to following a more dressage route so far.



His main focus has been dressage where he has competed to medium, with good results, and is largely training at this level. The lateral work comes easily and his trainer advocates that he will easily go grand prix eventually, with the correct training and person. She believes he has the right attributes and willingness. Another season competing at elementary would suit him well and set him up well for the future.



Olaf is an excellent hack, good in open spaces, to take out, load etc. He has turned his hoof to a number of other things outside dressage such as being placed at the combined training Championships and a handful of unaff SJ and farm rides.



Olaf may suit a professional or amateur home. He enjoys human company and could suit an experienced/ competent teenager.



Olaf is a competition type, he is a very forward, responsive ride and although he always wants to work with you he requires jockey to match this. The ideal rider would be light and effective and adapt to the horse underneath them. He is sensitive yet genuine. To jump he can get keen.



We would love to seem him flourish on with his competitive career or enjoy a varied life with someone competent.



Things to mention;

- needs sedating to clip.

- needs holding for the farrier.

- Custom made Childric dressage saddle available by separate negotiation.

- He loves other horses and happily lives out wih others.

We are proud of how Olaf has grown as a horse and are motived to find a super home for him.

Stunning 5yr old black gelding approx 15:3hh - By 160 stallion Elfra Van Beek Z out of a 140 mare

I bought Elf in the Febuary of 2024 as an untouched 3yr old , he was turned away for the summer and backed by ourselves later that year and has been slowly produced since

Jumping BN / DISC with £166 winnings 74 points

2 double clears at his last show

Purely showjumped thus far but moves well enough for dressage and would have enough blood to event

He is a sweetheart in the stable ,loves people and has been a pleasure to take out and about

Hacks out alone or with company up our gallops and has jumped the logs and hurdles on the schooling ground

Produced by an amateur but he has enough quality for a professional

Wouldn’t be suitable for a novice, as most young horses he can be sensitive at times

Clean legs , good conformation & feet

Vetted & full set of x rays taken as a 3yr old & 5yr old

Price reflects that he has been seen to crib when stabled

Was sold to a wonderful home in America for eventing (vetted & x-rayed head to toe 21/7/26) unfortunately buyer changed mind due to him making a respiratory noise

Scope was normal and is available to view for serious enquiries
