Jack is a super sports cob! 

He came from Ireland as a 4 yo, he has been beautifully produced and this shows in his flat work where he has 3 balanced paces, he is active and expressive. He knows some lateral work and his changes are there too.

Jack also jumps! He is straightforward to a fence and enjoys it.

He also enjoys hunting, he’s been out with the Essex and Suffolk.

He has done some showing and dressage. Beach rides and hacking in more recent years but Jack will turn his hoof to anything!

He is a doddle to have around, you can clip him without even tying him up.

He is a competition hose though and would not suit a complete novice, he would be wasted and he has so many rosettes to win!!!

Videos available, Jack is based in Suffolk with good trial facilities.

Outstanding Mare by Crowns Ace Of Pearl

A rare opportunity to purchase a truly beautiful mare by the exceptional Crowns Ace Of Pearl. Mares of this quality and temperament very rarely come onto the market.

This lovely mare is the sweetest, kindest type both on the ground and under saddle — a genuine pleasure to have on the yard and a firm favourite with everyone who meets her. Since being with us, she has been out hunting a handful of times and behaved impeccably throughout. She stood quietly at the lorry, was mannerly at the meet and proved perfectly settled with hounds. Never hot, strong or silly, she has a wonderfully level head and takes everything in her stride.

On the flat, she is nicely schooled with three balanced paces and a willing, trainable attitude. She will happily pop a course of show jumps and absolutely loves her cross country, proving bold and confident without becoming strong. In a previous home, she also competed in some unaffiliated dressage, giving her a solid all-round education.

Hacking is where she really shines. Ridden in a snaffle at all times, she will go alone or in company, first or last. She has nannied many of our young horses out hacking and when schooling cross country, highlighting just how genuine and trustworthy she is. Sensible in traffic and easy in open spaces, she is very much an anyone’s ride.

There are absolutely no stable vices, and she is good to clip, catch, load, travel and shoe. An uncomplicated, versatile mare ready to slot straight into a new home and enjoy a varied life.

Tack available if required. Serious enquiries only for this very special girl.

Part exchange welcomed.

Ernie

15.2hh 5yo Registered Connemara Gelding

Ernie is the coolest guy. He takes everything in his stride and just wants to please!

He loves to jump, very confident, and a super fun ride cross country. He has previously competed at local shows and working hunter classes. Very good in busy environments, he loves to go out and about and would thrive in a competitive home. He shows a lot of scope and his attitude to work is incredibly positive and willing. Good to hack alone or in company. Snaffle mouthed at all times and working nicely on the flat with 3 balanced paces .

A very friendly and easy little horse on the floor , not a bad bone in his body.

He is a 5 yr old and I would like to see him produced further as I think he has a lot of potential to be a superb eventing / working hunter / show jump prospect. Therefore no novices please .

Correct In all ways, no lumps or bumps open to any vetting.


Ernie is based in Tyrone, Ireland

A very special home sought for a very special horse - Dasher. This is a hugely sad sale for all involved, as his owner has sadly passed away, but he would hate to see Dasher wasted in a field during the hunting season. Dasher is fit, sound, and ready to go to finish the season.
• True yard favourite
• Ideal teenage all-rounder / hunter
• Perfect mother–daughter share

Dasher is genuinely one of the loveliest horses you could meet, kind and mannerly inside and out. His owner ensured he was beautifully educated, and he has been with us for nearly two years, becoming a much-loved member of the yard. He hunted in Ireland before coming to us, giving him a solid foundation, and has since continued to prove himself consistently. He competed in novice horse working hunter classes last season, including at Great Yorkshire, and has also competed in ODEs at Eland Lodge, showing himself to be bold, scopey and straightforward. Out hunting, Dasher is a real machine with manners, jumping all the big country including gates, hedges and walls, while remaining sensible and rideable throughout the day. He has been hunted regularly by myself, my mother, and a petite young rider, and has hunted consistently with the Barlow, the High Peak and the South Notts, with references happily available.

‘Haggis’ is a compact horse with impressive paces , correct conformation and has exceptional ability over a fence. She is bold, scopey and particularly careful. Haggis has been carefully and slowly produced over the last 2 seasons with the future in mind .

Haggis has a fabulous temperament and impeccable manners on the ground . Good to shoe , load travel , clip ect. a pleasure to deal with in all aspects.

Registered Irish Draught x (King of Diamonds) approx 16.1hh 7 years old. A beautiful natured horse with a super working attitude and a lust for a variety of life.

She is confident over any fence. Very quiet to handle on the ground by anyone. Not mareish, actually very calm and loving around people.

No quirks - no bucking, rearing or napping. Goes up gears when asked and is responsive to your voice.

A genuine all rounder who deserves a kind home where she will be loved.

16.1HH, Rising 8yrs Dabble Grey Mare by Cruising Ambassador - Bold, Brave and Forward

  • Forward thinking
  • Loves her work and being used
Misty is a 16.1HH, rising 8 year old Irish Sports horse by Cruising Ambassador. Evented up to 90cm as a 6 year old and proved herself to be bold and genuine to a fence. She absolutely loves her show jumping and cross country - brave, confident, honest and forward-thinking.

She is excellent to hack on her own or with others. She happily going hacking with dogs, and is sensible in traffic. Easy to catch, handle and manage day to day. Snaffle mouthed all the time.

She is a competitive mare who enjoys her work and likes a rider with a purpose. She can have a fun but safe spook and the occasional 'whoopee' buck when feeling fresh - never nasty, so is NOT suitable for a novice ride and would not suit a nervous or unbalanced ride. That said, my 12 year old daughter can hack and jump her and is totally safe.

Well established on the flat for her age, however she has fallen out of love with dressage.

I believe she would thrive with a capable, gun-ho type rider who wants to enjoy life - whether thats cross country, hunter trials, arena eventing, fun rides, show jumping, team chasing or hunting (although she has not hunted before), or simply someone looking for a forward, fun hacking partner.

She has plenty of ability and enthusiasm and though still young requires a confident rider who will enjoy her competitive nature rather than try to dampen it.

Very good with loading, clipping, dentist, farrier and vet.

Serious enquiries only please.

If you feel you could offer her the knowledgeable, competent home she needs, please get in touch.

  • 11 years

  • Good to do
  • lovely snaffle mouth
A great retired French Thoroughbred racehorse, bred as a 2 1/2 mile chaser, quite solidly built so suits being a Hunter. Excellent with Hounds and other horses.

He can turn his hand to most disciplines and we ride him in a simple snaffle, stays under control and stops on request.

Up to date with vaccinations, good to shoe and groom

The reason for sale is that I am a little overstocked, and, I am not giving this horse enough time, he could go far!

Not a novice ride so will suit someone with experience that can understand this type of horse. If he was a cross bred he would be worth at least double the price.

15hh 7 yrs piebald cob x Welsh mare

Fun all rounder and super hack. Would enjoy doing some PC or RC and has done unaff dressage previously.

Rosie is a sweet mare who is quiet to ride, and more woah than go, she’s not sharp or silly but can have an opinion on things and as such needs a rider / handler who’s not totally novice as we feel she would quickly learn to take advantage if she thought she could. She enjoys her work in and out the school and is keen to please.

With us she hasn’t put a foot out of line but does need reminding of her manners occasionally as can be a bit rude! Nothing someone half competent can’t handle though. She has been with older novice ladies doing some dressage but quickly realised they were a bit wet and she could walk all over them.

She’s a mare who likes a firm leader and then is an absolute doddle.

Please don’t expect a cuddly mare! She has a great resting bitch face, I feel this will improve but she very much needs one to one and to find “her person “, she’s not a biter or a kicker but just not in your face and pockets and rather be left to be a horse when she can. Rosie is very much a girl who likes clear direction, she appreciates an assertive human who just tells her to get on with things.

She hacks out very well alone and in company, will go first or last. Happy to go for a gallop then go back to a steady plod. Very good in traffic. Been hacking here with everyone from novice teens upwards. She’s still a little green in the school and her canter needs a bit of work, she’s been ridden badly and very backwards previously but improves every day, She wants to work in a shape and tries hard to please just hasn’t really been taught where the go button is so can be a bit slow with her transitions currently and falls out of canter.

She’s a nice mover with flashy paces and definitely has a lot of potential to be out and about willing rosettes but needs a bit of flat boot camp first. She loves her jumping and although green as grass never says no and jumps anything you ask of her. She has taken part in jumping clinics since being with us again ridden by keen teenager. With further work she will do all PC and RC activities, unaff SJ, XC etc. she would be a nice type to take hunting as she’s steady but capable.

Perfect to catch, box, clip, shoe etc. she’s very sweet with other horses, happy to live in or out. She’s a lovely mare that just needs polishing off in to being the perfect rounder.

16.1hh to mature to 16.2hh blue and white part bred ID gelding rising 4 yrs

Super young horse who will go on to make a wonderful hunter, RC all rounder, hack, a real jack of all trades type. He would suit most riders but is obviously green and still learning.

Guss has got the loveliest attitude to his work, exceptionally kind and willing to please, he has recently been broken and is riding very well for his age with a lovely mouth and natural way of going and you couldn’t ask for any more from him at this point. He has three good very balanced paces. He has had very little formal education in the school and has done a couple of half days hunting ( hence the hog as no one likes plaiting! He’s not itchey!) and been out hacking both alone and in company and has proved himself as genuine and sensible. He is working naturally on the bridle and popping a few small fences in the school.

Guss is a steady and sensible sort, he is hacking out well alone and in company and has been good in all traffic met to date. He’s a really simple type of horse, adores people and fuss, excellent to clip, catch, shoe etc and wants to be your friend. He’s not sharp or silly and although young is very much one that can be picked up and put down again with no fear of the ejection button being hit!

He has a huge frame to fill and will turn in to a substantial hunter/ maxi cob type once mature. Although he is obviously green as grass he’s very willing and would suit someone as a first young horse to bring on, he’s the sort that once he finds his person he won’t ever be sold on as types like him are impossible to find as older horses. He really will go and become someone’s best mate.

Guss is an old fashioned Irish type hard to find.

Incredibly sad sale of the most beloved mare. There really is so many incredible things to say about this horse. A true all rounder & schoolmaster. She has showjumped to foxhunter/1.20, evented to BE100, hunted & is gorgeous on the flat as well.

Saucepan has been incredibly loved, her history since a 4yo is known with no vet history or concerns, clean X-rays etc.

She is ridden in a snaffle with a soft mouth and amazing attitude. She is honest, genuine and incredibly competitive. Never spooky or silly can go out every weekend or not go out for months and still comebac with a rosette easily.

She works beautifully on the flat with established lateral work, changes, mediums and even dabbled with some pirouettes. She could go very far on BD circuit to!

She is the best imaginable teenagers horse/mother daughter share.

She can be a little bit nappy hacking on her own but nothing you can’t kick her through! Her favourite thing is any work in the school, she just loves it. Loves competing and going out.

She is a dream on the ground. To clip, shoe, travel load, catch etc. She will live in or out. She can live in a herd or individually she is not remotely stressy.

Duchess is a serious stamp, that would excel as a show hunter, hunter or dressage horse.

Duchess is nicely bred, she is an Irish sports horse by ID stallion Western Blues out of an irish sports horse mare by Dock Leaf, she only has a small amount of TB blood, and to look at she looks like a full ID with good conformation and bone.

Duchess has previously been hunting in Ireland, once imported to the UK she has been in an amateur home enjoying hacking schoolwork, and riding club activities.

On the flat Duchess works in a beautiful outline showing off her stamp and presence. She is currently working at prelim/novice level with all the ability and attitude to go up the levels. She has competed at a training show with us, she was well behaved and judges commented on her correct way of going and ability.

Duchess hasn’t done an excessive amount of jumping due to her previous home not being jumpers. She has been around courses here of 70/80cm always progressing well and eager to please. She would be a super allrounder for someone wanting to have fun.

Duchess is good to hack alone and in company, and would certainly enjoy being back out on the hunt field, and recently did some fun rides. She is mannerly and does not get hot up in open spaces. Good in traffic, and is a reliable sort out hacking.

Duchess is not marish, she is good in the stable. She is good to catch, load, shoe, clip etc. She is a very easy horse to deal with and a pleasure to have on the yard.

For sale on behalf of a client, a sad sale with a genuine reason. Good home is priority.

  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter

Bilbo is well known to us as we sold him as a four year old to his current owner. She has done a bit of everything with him and sent him back to us 14 months ago to find a new home, when push came to shove she couldn’t bare to part with him and she took him home again, shortly after this finding out she was pregnant and so he has been on loan to a local equine college for the past year. Bilbo has decided that college life is not for him and he would like a more varied workload and so has returned to us as his owners family keeps growing and she’s now not in a position to have him home.

Although he has worked in the college riding school he has learnt to get a little cheeky with the novices. Since being with us and being properly ridden again he hasn’t put a hoof wrong. Bilbo has been nicely schooled and works very well on the flat, he’s done some unaffiliated dressage and would enjoy continuing this. He will happily jump round a course of 70/80cm currently, isn’t bothered by fillers, water trays etc. and is brave and genuine. He has had limited XC outings but again is brave and gives a good feeling over a fence. He’s a solid chap and obviously not bred to show jump but gives everything a go and is good fun. I would say a competent novice who wants to do a bit of everything would be ideal for him, hes not sharp or silly but has a brain and found riding school work very boring.

Bilbo loves his hacking both alone and in company, he’s good in open spaces and good in traffic. He needs to find a rider who will give him variety in his work as the more he does the sweeter he is. He hunted in his youth with us and loved it and would love to get out again

Bilbo is very easy in and out the stable, good to box, catch, shoe, clip etc. and happy to live in or out. He’s a nice person to have in on the yard.
