I think very highly of this mare and I don’t want to part with her but sadly putting the feelers out,

16.2 4yr old by chance cassal (cassal/carentino) lovely big mare with so much presence and potential. In her time with me, she’s gone from strength to strength. I’ve yet to find anything that phases her and her answer to every question is yes.

She has three flashy balanced paces and works in a nice consistent outline, in her first Dressage test she came 2nd in the prelim, she was so obedient and rideable in the boards, she is still green on the flat and a big horse that needs to continue strengthening but she is so balanced and soft in the hand with an attitude that wants to learn and try that makes her a seriously quick learner

To jump she is the perfect combination of careful and bold, she takes you to a fence without being strong and has never ever said no. She goes on any stride, is so forgiving and not at all spooky. She hasn’t been rushed and jumped 3 courses in the ring, including her first British novice (Footstick Casall) for just a pole and jumped clear round unafilliated 90s, she has loads of jump but again her canter is still weak and babyish so we haven’t pushed her but she gives a great feel and I know there’s a serious jump in there

Out xc she is again as straightforward as they come, she is bold and brave but never strong. She went xc schooling once and jumped everything I asked of her - ditches steps skinnies and she did it all With her ears pricked, then did a 70 hunter trial and again jumped round clear like it was the easiest thing ever, she travels nicely and covers the ground without pulling and is always straight to her fences. She is sensible in warm ups and stands politely on the lorry at shows including when others are taken away

She is good to hack alone and in company, good in traffic and open spaces. She is easy to do in all ways on the ground, she loves cuddle (although might not look like she does) good to catch clip shoe, goes out with geldings and not mareish, does have a resting bitch face but actually very sweet soppy mare who wants to be your friend. She is safe and has been ridden by a variety of riders and not bucked/reared/bolted but that said she won’t be sold to a novice as she is a forward thinking mare with an engine who deserves a rider who can continue her education and I’m certain she will excel in any sphere. She is quality enough to join a professionals string but straightforward enough for an amateur to produce (and type you can still have a fun mess around hack jumping logs in woods without worrying about being decked)

Based Epsom Surrey, no timewasters please

🩶 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!

Genuinely one of the nicest horses I have had the pleasure of meeting

15.1hh 9yr old Cob gelding, absolute saint in every way. Guinness loves people and comes to call as soon as he sees you approaching the field. He’s excellent to catch, handle, in and out of the stable, to load, travel, clip, farrier (currently barefoot but good to shoe)

He’s a big teddy bear and anyone who meets him is sure to fall in love instantly.

Guinness schools lovely, he has competed a small amount of dressage always gaining lovely comments from the judge. He moves beautifully, very straight and is light on his feet for a heavy cob. He would easily go in the show ring and be top of the line.

G also loves pole clinics or some low level jumping, he has a good pop and enjoys the variety.

Out hacking he is an absolute joy to ride. He hacks alone or in company, front or back, perfect in traffic, open fields or quiet country lanes.

Always snaffle mouthed, although not a plod he is super safe and not strong or silly, easy to ride. Would suit a variety of riders.

Absolutely clean legs, no blemishes, no sarcoids, lumps or bumps. Up to date with vaccines, farrier, worming, teeth etc

No expense has been spared with this boy and we expect the best from his new home.

His price includes a beautiful, well looked after chunky monkey saddle which was new for him, quality bridle and some rugs (all cleaned and ready to use)

Do not come view unless you intend to buy because he will 100% steal your heart.

1000% open to any vetting. No trials, loans, payment plans, day trippers. He is too good to be joy ridden.

He will suit any ambitious amateur looking for a quality horse to produce or equally he has the scope, stride and jumping ability any professional would look for. 

He would also fit in well on the hunting field as a petite lady rider or a gentleman’s horse. He is a pleasure to have around and always wants to please. He has been ridden by amateur riders and is always very safe and willing. The type that you would trust to take your granny for a hack. No hangups.

17hh grey Mare by Quickfeuer van koekshof

Maggie is honestly one of the sweetest, kindest horses we’ve come across for a while! She is perfect to do everything with and is not mareish at all.

She’s jumped up to 1.30 level with scope for more, is a fun forward ride that loves her job. Works very nicely on the flat with 3 balanced paces and automatic changes.

Would be brilliant to take a young rider up the levels as she is so genuine and brave.

Maggie has also hunted last season and we think she would make a brilliant team chaser as she would jump the biggest of hedges and love every minute of it!

Hector is a really lovely gentleman who always tries to please. Hector is super bombproof and has done lots of hacking on busy roads with farm machinery as well as beach rides and pleasure rides, over the last year he’s had a great start to his education with regular weekly lessons, clinics, arena hires, unaffiliated comps including dressage/ sj and arena XC.

He will ride and lead, bareback, you name it he’ll do it. Hector still needs further education as he’s still green and is certainly a very leg on type, but for someone he will be perfect as a low level all rounder/ ladies hunter or mother/ daughter share.

This is a very sad sale for me however I need to do what’s best for him and his future!

He’s hoof perfect to clip, load, shoe etc.

Only serious enquires as the home is much more important than price to me. Please PM for more info/pics/ vids.

Mac is smart and flashy on the flat and super easy to ride. He has a super rhythm and is lovely in the contact.

He hacks alone and in company and has seen farm traffic, not silly in open spaces and will go first or last.

He would do a variety of jobs and he would be a great one to have some educational days out hunting this season.

He has such a good outlook, he is easy and straightforward in everyway.
