Beautiful black TB mare by Lauro. This gorgeous horse has a bold scopey jump, is very good over showjumps and cross country. Has arena evented and show jumped to a metre but jumps 120 easily at home and in clinics and scope for more. Schools nicely and is very trainable and striking.

Brave sensible hunter, crosses any country jumping rails, ditches, hedges etc. stands quietly at the meet and on point. Will go off on her own quietly.

Goes anywhere in the field. Stays all day!

Takes you into a fence without being strong or rushing. Lovely off the lg and has started lateral work in the school, shoulder in, leg yield, turns On the haunches and forehand. Walk to canter and canter to walk. Has great potential to go on in dressage, showjumping or eventing.

Lovely to do in all ways, no vices, injuries lumps bumps or sarcoids. Good to shoe, catch, clip, box and in very heavy traffic (I regularly ride her on the A22!)

Hacks on her own ad in company and goes first or last on the buckle. This is a mare who loves cuddles and attention- she’s a great character and loves her Lickits and treats! Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, worming and farrier.

SOLD!

  • Old head on young shoulders

Liam is the most adorable 4yo, who definitely has got old head on young shoulder, and acts like he’s been here before and do it all 10 times over!

Although he’s only 4, he rides likes sitting on the most comfortable armchair ever. He’s trainable, has a beautiful soft mouth, always in a snaffle, and well schooled for his age. He has all the basics on the flat and over a fence and is ready for someone to continue his education and have so much fun with.

Liam has hunted in Ireland, he happily hacks out alone and in company, very well mannered hacking and in open spaces. On the ground and at home he’s a complete pleasure to have around.

We absolutely adore him here and really want to find him a super forever home where he will be enjoyed and loved.

Excellent trail facilities in Worcester.

Incredible schoolmistress


Ref #: 400421

SOLD!
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 16 hands
  • Competed to 1.20/foxhunter showjumping
  • Hunted and done all pony club activities
  • Established changes, lateral work & mediums
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.

Stunning all rounder

SOLD!
  • Connemara
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15 hands
  • Beautiful floaty paces
  • Gorgeous On the ground
  • Scopey jump
A fantastic small horse who truly does it all — safe enough for a child, yet talented and competitive enough for an adult.

He has experience across all disciplines, from dressage to hunting, and behaves impeccably in every situation. Wherever he goes, he turns heads with his presence and manners.

He works in a correct, rhythmical way and is schooling towards Elementary/Medium level with lovely balance and self-carriage.

A pleasure to hack both alone and in company. He canters out sensibly in open spaces and is unphased by traffic, although we are based in a quiet village.

An absolute dream to hunt. He was ridden by a teenage girl and behaved impeccably throughout, standing quietly and enjoying the day.

Excellent to load, shoe, clip, catch and handle. A genuine, easy horse to have around the yard.

A rare find – a kind, talented and versatile horse who would suit a wide range of riders.

Beautiful stamp by ID Wesrn Blues

  • A very reliable horse to hack and hunt
  • Schools well with good paces and lots of presence
SOLD!
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Dark bay
  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Well bred by Western blues x Dock Leaf
  • A very reliable horse to hack and hunt
  • Schools well with good paces and lots of presence
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.

No vices
Open to vet.

BILBO


Ref #: 399513
  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter
SOLD!
  • Cob
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • 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.
