• Hunted, SJ & XC – a genuine horse to go out and enjoy

Tyson is a super 16hh 5-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding who combines quality and ability with the sort of temperament and rideability that is incredibly hard to find.

What really makes Tyson special is his brain and attitude.

He is a lovely forward-going ride, responsive to the leg and genuinely enjoyable, yet remains level-headed, sensible and safe. He wants to get on with the job without ever making life difficult and always gives his rider a lovely positive feeling.

He is also extremely forgiving. He doesn't expect his rider to get everything right and will happily help you out when needed. He has enough quality and ability for an ambitious rider to have plenty of fun with, while remaining straightforward enough for someone who simply wants a nice, genuine horse to enjoy.

Tyson is always ridden in a snaffle, is light and straightforward in the hand and is nicely responsive without being sharp or silly.

Tyson is one of those really useful horses who could genuinely turn his hoof to almost anything.

He has already been out showjumping and cross-country, both training and at shows, confidently jumping around 80/90cm. He has taken everything in his stride and continues to show just how genuine, brave and straightforward he is.

He is naturally athletic with a scopey, careful jump, but what makes him particularly appealing is how easy and rideable he remains. He is nicely forward and takes you to a fence without becoming strong, silly or overexcited.

Cross-country he is brave and willing, happily tackling a variety of fences and always looking to get to the other side. He gives his rider a lovely feeling and is very forgiving if they don't see the perfect stride.

At shows, Tyson has proved himself to be sensible, level-headed and uncomplicated, taking the atmosphere completely in his stride.

For only a five-year-old, he already has an excellent amount of useful experience without having been overproduced or having too many miles put on the clock.

Tyson hunted last season and proved himself to be remarkably sensible and level-headed, particularly for such a young horse.

He took the atmosphere and excitement in his stride, kept his head and behaved beautifully. That experience has given him a fantastic education and says a lot about his temperament.

He is forward enough to be great fun, but importantly remains rideable and sensible – exactly what you want in a young hunter.

A Superb Hack

Tyson is a super hack and is happy to go alone or in company.

He is good in traffic, sensible out and about and doesn't need another horse there to hold his hand.

Whether you're heading out for a relaxing hack or going somewhere more exciting, he has that same willing and uncomplicated attitude.

An Absolute Gentleman on the Ground

Tyson is every bit as lovely on the ground as he is to ride.

He is vice-free and exceptionally easy to do in all ways, with lovely manners and a gentle, friendly nature.

He genuinely likes attention and loves having a brush and being fussed over. He's the sort of horse you actually enjoy spending time with, not just riding.

He's straightforward with the everyday jobs and is a pleasure to have around the yard. For somebody wanting their horse to be their hobby and friend as well as something to compete, this is a massive part of Tyson's appeal.

Tyson still has his whole future ahead of him, but he already has something that can't easily be taught – a genuinely good brain.

He has plenty of ability to progress and become a competitive horse, but equally he has the temperament to become somebody's ultimate allrounder, hunter and best friend.

Whether your ambitions are to event, show jump, hunt, compete at Riding Club, hack for miles or simply have a quality horse to enjoy, Tyson is the sort who could give you a huge amount of fun.

Forward without being sharp, safe without being boring, talented without being complicated and forgiving when his rider doesn't get everything quite right.

Quite simply, Mr Fun – a proper allrounder with quality, talent and, most importantly, a fantastic temperament. A horse you could go out and compete on one day and enjoy a relaxed hack on the next.

• Irish Sports Horse
• Chestnut
• Gelding
• 6 years
• 16.2hh / 168cm

• Working Hunter successes, hunted & XC
• SJ, dressage, showing, hacking & beach rides
• Exceptional all-rounder who will turn his hoof to anything

If you're looking for one horse that can genuinely do a bit of everything, Henry is about as close to the equestrian equivalent of a Swiss Army knife as you're likely to find.

Carrabeg Sensation is a beautiful 16.2hh 6-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding who combines quality, ability and versatility with the most fantastic attitude.

Henry was professionally broken and produced as a four-year-old, enjoying multiple successes in Working Hunter competitions, and has since turned his hoof to just about everything.

He has hunted, showjumped, done dressage, cross-country, arena hires, local showing, hacking and beach rides.

He's the sort of horse you could event one weekend, go hunting the next, take to a Riding Club clinic, jump a Working Hunter class and then spend the following day hacking with your friends.

A Horse For So Many Riders

One of Henry's greatest qualities is his rideability.

We have found him incredibly straightforward and accommodating, and he will happily take different levels and types of rider. He doesn't make life unnecessarily complicated and gives his rider confidence while still having more than enough quality and ability for someone ambitious to enjoy.

At 16.2hh he is a lovely useful size – substantial enough to carry a rider, yet athletic and manoeuvrable enough to be competitive.

He has super paces, lovely flatwork and a scopey, careful jump. He is equally happy popping around sensibly or being ridden more correctly and asked for more.

Jumping & XC

Henry has a proper Irish jump – scopey, genuine and athletic.

He's already gained plenty of experience over both coloured fences and natural obstacles and has the attitude that makes you feel there are an enormous number of jobs he could excel at.

He would make a fabulous BE event horse, Working Hunter, Riding Club horse, hunter or top-class all-rounder.

For someone wanting just one horse in the stable that can do everything, he is incredibly difficult to fault.

Super Irish Breeding

Henry's pedigree is another real attraction.

He is by Clonakilty Hero, out of Lislan Ruby, who is by Maltstriker, with the legendary Cruising appearing directly behind her and Clover Hill also in the dam line.

Clonakilty Hero × Maltstriker × Cruising × Clover Hill

It's a pedigree packed with the traditional Irish influence and performance blood you'd hope to see in a horse of this type.

The Ultimate All-Rounder

What really sums Henry up is simply his versatility.

He doesn't need to be pigeonholed into one discipline. He's got the conformation and presence to show, the movement for dressage, the jump and bravery for eventing and Working Hunter, the experience to hunt and the temperament to simply go out and enjoy.

He's already good to shoe, box and clip and good in traffic, and his previous amateur home has given him the varied education that is so valuable in a young horse.

Whether your ambitions are BE, Riding Club, Pony Club, Working Hunter, hunting, showjumping or simply having a really smart horse to enjoy, Henry has the ingredients to do the job.

Quite simply, a proper Irish horse – talented enough to be competitive, genuine enough to be enjoyed and versatile enough to do almost anything you ask of him.

• Smoky Black / Dark Dun.
• Picture with me is for scale... I'm 5'8 and the bay next to him is my 16.1hh TB Team Chaser...
• Heavyweight Hunter

Smokey Black, serious heavyweight gelding. 17/17.1hh now, but has not got a high wither and feels about 18hh when you're close to him.

This is one serious powerhouse of a Viking warrior's war horse! Looks like Thor should be riding him into Valhalla.

Floats like a butterfly with movement that makes you think he couldn’t possibly have the 10’’ of clean bone that he has. We jumped him for the first time today, and he pops 1.30 without having to make the slightest effort.

He is bold, brave, athletic, smooth-moving, handsome, and totally clean-limbed.

Raven’s father is the famous C1 Irish Draught stallion Corrindon Dancer, who won the Royal Dublin Show. I bred his mother, and she is ISH (Ballinvella) x Czech WB (Falko). Dam is the maternal half-sister to the dam of the multiple winning HW buckskin stallion Hallslake Nimrod (look him up), whom I also bred. The Ballinvella TB in the back breeding has given Raven athleticism and refinement, which, in such a huge and heavy horse, is just mind-blowing when you see him move. Genetically, I believe Raven is technically a Smoky Black as his mother is buckskin, so he has some 'dun' markings on his flank, but otherwise, when not sun bleached, he's very black.

Currently 4 years old and a raw blank canvas, having been with us from a foal. We haven’t ever even put a bridle on this boy yet. We have given him plenty of time to fill up his big frame, and mature. He has had his hooves looked after, been regularly wormed, and come in the barn for winters and lived out all summer in a herd. He is not clingy, is happy to be caught and moved away from friends, and stabled or transported without insecurity. He loads well in a trailer or lorry as he has been moved to different grazing between seasons. He can be rugged or left naked. He has no ailments or allergies and is vice-free, totally clean-limbed and straight-moving. He is kind, clever, and easy-going, naturally bold, and will be easy to break in.

What is his job going to be, and where would you find another one??

War Horse? Hunter? Show Horse? Dressage? Large person eventer? Battle reenactment horse? Jousting? Police horse? He genuinely could be absolutely anything.

We usually start our own horses undersaddle, but sometimes we find that buyers are looking to start from the begining themselves, so we are offering Raven raw initially, but we are also happy to get him backed for his purchasers if it is desired. If he is not sold during July, we will get him going, with a view to doing an hour or two of trail hunting over our fabulous, rugged terrain of Exmoor by Autumn. I honestly think he will be an absolute pleasure to get going and will be one hugely impressive horse under saddle.

Anyone looking for a horse that looks like a battering ram but moves like a show pony…. Give me a shout!

We are based near Lynton/Lynmouth on Exmoor, Devon/Somerset borders, and can help with delivery.

We are seeking a home for Jack where he can be a fun all-rounder and lead a varied life.

Good to hack, no vices and an easy horse to look after who is a pleasure to have around. Will live in or out.

He is more forwards for an experienced rider and will adapt to a novice rider also. However we feel a competent rider would be in his best interests as he is still young and would benefit from further education in the arena and with his jumping. Thoroughly enjoys jumping but needs further education with this.

Has hunted, done combined training with an older lady and would do a nice dressage test.

Price will increase the more he does with us.

DUACH AMYS LADY:-

This stunning Class 1 graded ID mare stands at around 16.3hh and at 9 years of age she is a nicely matured horse. She is a kind and genuine mare who tries her heart out for you at all times. Her sire is Tors Gentleman Farmer and her Dams Sire is Gentle Diamond.

Amy has competed in all Riding Club activites and receives the most lovely comments from judges when out competing. She has hunted for 2 seasons in Ireland before being imported to the UK 3 years ago. Full history is known.

She really is a mare who enjoys her work and loves a varied life of schooling, hacking, jumping and clinics. Amy recently attended a stay away camp, was extremeley well behaved and lots of fun in all disciplines, completing a mini ODE on the final day. She is a very enjoyable hack and sensible in open fields and on farm rides.

She has lovely manners, is a great stable and field companion, always comes when called and is easy to do in all ways. She is inquisitive and affectionate. I am more than happy for my teenage daughter and non-horsey husband to regularly handle her.

Amy is up to date with the farrier, dentist, physio and vaccinations. Fit and ready to go with no medical history. Although Amy is a lovely safe all rounder, we feel she would be too much horse for a novice, and therefore would suit a more experienced, competent rider as although very straight forward, she can be a keen jumper.

Sadly a change in personal circumstances forces sale of this much loved girl so a nice private home is required for her.

A unique horse with a kind temperament and lots of potential for the future!

Cleary has a basic understanding of flatwork, he has a lovely natural carriage and balanced, floaty paces. He has the potential to excel BD and is a horse that is sure to catch the judges eye!

He has been SJ training and XC schooling whilst with us, he has proven to be bold and willing and shows great technique.

Cleary has been out for a couple of quiet days trail hunting. He has been on fun rides and has always shown a level head when riding in large groups. We have taken Cleary on open moorland and to the beach multiple times, he really is a super young horse to have out and about!

He is hacking alone and in company, regularly ridden in traffic and open spaces. Loads and travels well and is the same horse at home or away.

Cleary is a versatile young horse that has had an all round start to his education - he is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and enjoy the reward of producing their own young horse.

Wonderful 4yo Rebel, an absolutely beautiful pony on the outside with a lovely kind temperament to match! Old head on young shoulders.

Rebel is 150cm on the stick, plenty of bone and substance, and a really qualiy model to go in the show ring.

Rebel is a registered Connemara on a green book, all breeding recorded. He is n/n hoofwall.

Lovely Rebel is a wonderful pony to have around! He is a gentle natured chap, he is never sharp to handle or flighty. He loves to be groomed and bathed and is very chilled!

He is good to hack alone or in company, round the roads and in the field. He is good in all the traffic we have seen (bikes, farm machinery) he has never napped and isn’t worried about leaving other horses.

Rebs is working well in the school, he has beautiful paces and is straight moving and correct. He flicks his toes in the trot and has a rhythmical canter. He is working well in a soft outline but he is obviously a little green as he is a young horse still.

He has a lovely jump, he is careful in front and tidy behind! He is bold over all fillers, and he has never stopped at any question that has been asked of him! He has care for a pole and is straight to the fences wanting to take you there.

Rebel has been xc schooling on several occasions and he is super brave over ditches, steps, water and skinnies. He is such a point and shoot pony and not spooky at anything atall!

Rebel is good to load and travel and will stand on the lorry at a show when his friend is taken away. He is a very easy pony to have around. He is good to live in or out and alone or with others. He is totally vice and blemish free and open to any vet.

Someone will be very very lucky to own him.

Absolute Rolls Royce ID breeding - by Heigh Ho Dubh (flag mount king/king of diamonds) with Carrabawn View on the other side, out of a Supreme Ginger (ginger dick) mare. A superb example of a performance draft who has many career options available to him. He is a very smart chap and there aren’t any photos that do him justice!

Dougie is a super sweet, dopey kind of boy who’s only aim in life is the please his person!

Done a little hunting towards the end of last season, been out to arena hires, XC schooling and training shows. Jumping a course inc arena eventing fences and is bold and brave to a fence. Plenty of scope and the type that wants to leave the fences up.

Working well on the flat with good paces and a rocking horse canter, no reason he couldn’t go on to do some dressage and he would certainly turn some heads.

Hacks alone or in company and enjoys a canter in open spaces. Been good in the traffic we’ve met and with the farm machinery around here. Good to box up and take out for a hack, loves going exploring!

Suit competent amateur + who can show him the way and continue producing him.

Good to catch/load/bath etc. Really enjoys a pamper and a fuss.

I have owned Frank since he was 4. In all this time he has been my main hunter, never sick or sorry. He loves his hunting and has stepped in as huntsman’s horse numerous times. Unfortunately we are not a jumping pack but for a horse with over 10” bone Frank is very nimble.

He covers the ground with ease. Will jump ditches, rails and hurdles. He’s straight and correct. Frank would probably show to a high level but he’s always had the summer off whilst I concentrate on farm work.

Frank is a mannerly ride, he will lead or follow. He will go off on point, stands when asked and is brilliant in traffic. He hacks alone or in company and is happy to ride or lead.

Good with the farrier, to catch, clip and load.

This has not been an easy decision to make, he is only for sale as i’ve retired as Master. Open to any vet or trainer. Fully vaccinated and ready to go.

• Great Hack
• Superb Jump
• Loves XC

It is with a heavy heart that I am looking for a quieter life for my gorgeous boy. Hacking, low level jumping, fun rides, hunting.

I have owned Jack since the very beginning of 2023.

He is about 17.1hh, by Kannan and out of a Cevin Z mare.

He is 12 years old - born 2014.

Within a year he took me from jumping 90cm to 1.25m. He has jumped all his life.

We have enjoyed lots of BS amateur classes together, champs, and jumped abroad in Belgium for 3 months at unaffiliated shows and training shows.

He absolutely loved XC when I took him on 2 occasions.

He's also a super hack. We've been round the Well Vale Ride several times and he will happily lead. He's great in the open space around fields and through woodland.

Jack is great to shoe, catch, for the dentist, vet etc.

He almost loads himself on the lorry, and will stand on it all day. Travels great. A real pro.

He's great to clip although a bit fidgety about his legs.

In his time with me he's lived out, completely in, and as he is currently - out in the day and in at night.

Currently turns out alone with a neighbouring friend. But I have turned him out previously with another which he's also been good with.

Since October 2023 admist plenty of jumping, I have medicated Jacks front feet, hocks, and stifles for arthritic changes.

This has been done around 6 monthly. More recently from September 2025, I have also had his back medicated.

This has all been working well for him, but recently isn't seeming as effective for as long as we'd hoped for his work load.

I have been typically jumping him once or twice a week (going out on the lorry, either show or training). With flatwork and occasional lunging inbetween. Usually he works 5 days a week.

After a recent visit to my vet because I didn't think he felt quite right, she has recommended more hacking would be suitable for him and help keep his joints happy. Along with stepping down to lower level jumping. 70/80/85 ish for example.

She thought a hunting home would be great for him, considering the plentiful hacking, a hunt once a week in the season and down time through the summer.

He would possibly not need medicating as much then with this work change. Maybe only yearly.

I think he'd be super for a hunt rider. He was so brave xc and is great out on rides as I mention above.

Or for a competent amateur who wants a loving beautiful quality horse for fun rides, hacking. Some low level jumping etc. A best friend.

I think a competent teen would really suit him too, he loves to go speedily round a smaller track jumping. I think he'd be really competitive and lots of fun.

He'd do a dressage test I'm sure, but I'd not say flatwork is his fave thing. He's always lived to jump. And you can tell his loves a ride out as his ears are always pricked and he marches on.

We have xrayed his hocks and scanned his stifles august 2026 to compare whether there has been any deterioration since 2023 when he started being medicated and there hasn't.

As mentioned above his back xrays are pretty current from Sept 2025.

I haven't had recent front feet xrays since the 2023 ones but he is always sound in front. Hes shod in normal front shoes by my caring farrier who does a great job, in pads with putty underneath.

He would just need a good conscious farrier to continue this.

All of his veterinary history is available.

This is absolutely heartbreaking and not something I forsaw happening in 3.5 years from when I bought him. The time has passed so soon and theres so many more dreams I had with him.

Its a very hard decision.

But I have his best interests, health and happiness at heart. This comes first.

He is far too special for me to retire to a field here. And I think he'd hate that as he really loves his work.

Will only be sold to someone 100% trustworthy and I'd want to be offered to have him back should circumstances change as I would hate to see him passed around.

Happy to whats app any further questions. Have a tonne of videos.
