Nierania Van Maarle Z (Pia)
17h 14yo mare by Numero Uno
For sale due to lack of time

l've owned pia for 4 years and competed up to foxhunter level. Prior to owning her shes competed up to 1.40 with male and female riders.

She's had time off competing for nearly 2 years but has still been to arena hires and in regular work.
Pia is the softest horse I've ever had, she's an angel on the ground and ridden and would excel again with the right person, I feel she is now wasted with me as she loves to be out competing and riding.

Good to hack, shoe, clip, travel etc.

Only want the best home for her as she really is an amazing horse but I just don't have the time for her anymore.

Loads of pictures and videos upon request.

The Ultimate Confidence Giver
One In A Million This Mare Has Got It All

Margo is an exceptional 15.2hh 6 year-old Cob mare who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. She is kind, bold, dependable, weight carrier, ideal for a wide range of riders – from complete beginners, nervous adults and children to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm and steady ride.

Margo is beautifully put together and has been there, done that, in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing mare, she is the definition of safe and steady. She has more whoa then go if you’re less experienced but also has a fifth gear if you can ride she’s so adaptable, she can be ridden by completing novices then pick up her pace if you can ride, making her a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability or responsiveness.

Ultimate All-Rounder

Margo has spent the last 18 months in a professional riding school environment and she has excelled with every level of rider, from novices to advanced, both under saddle and during stable management activities.

She has experience in flatwork lessons, both private and group, as well as participating in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. She absolutely loves to jump and is confident over coloured and rustic fences she has a bold, careful jump. She would easily compete in showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and hunting.

Margo absolutely loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. She will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. She is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. She remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home, you can gallop her across open fields with loose horses running along side her, then immediately pull her up and allow her to walk on a long rein or ask her to stand while horses run around her, she is most definitely not sharp, spooky or spiny.

She has been truly exceptional during her time on the riding school, she is unbelievable forgiving when rider lose their balance, struipps or have a bad stride into a fence, she always takes care of her riders, her substantial build, with a leg in each corner, combined with her calm disposition, sure-footedness, and gentle nature, gives even the most nervous riders the confidence to progress and excel. She will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as needed, without moving an inch. I can honestly say she has absolutely no quirks, negative or marish traits.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three beautiful balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work into a nice outline with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible, she has never bolted, bucked, reared, kicked or bitten, she is the most loving kind mare you could ever wish to meet. Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets. She will work into a nice outline, however due to being ridden by a varied clientele of novices, she has been allowed to carry her head high as most of her riders have limited knowledge.

Margo has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a head collar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she happy living in or out. In the field, she keeps herself to herself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Margo has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness.

She is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. She is excellent to clip, bath, catch, great to load and travel, fantastic with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

She is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. She can have weeks or even months off and return to ridden work without any fuss. She maintains her condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

She passes our riding school annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Margo is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you’re re a nervous adult, a beginner rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Margo fits the bill perfectly. She is a genuine schoolmistress who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Margo is ready to bring joy to her next rider and deserves the very best home. She has been truly exceptional.

  • Incredibly consistent U18/ Grassroots Event Horse
  • Mothers dream, safe and sensible
  • Huge talent, ready to move up the levels
15.2hh rising 9-year-old Irish sports horse by grand prix showjumper Ardcolum Duke (Clover Hill lines). Grassroots/u18 event horse, more than ready to fly up the levels, could make a super junior contender.
Martha is very experienced BE100 with multiple placings/wins, over the last few seasons she has been an absolute mainstay of the grassroots circuit (including Badminton grassroots 2025). Rarely out of the top 10 and almost never adds anything to her dressage score.

Absolute mothers dream, snaffle mouth, and a perfect first horse from ponies. She jumps for fun out cross country, is a straightforward ride and will go from any stride to any fence. Snaffle mouth but not backwards, always ‘wo’s and goes’ when asked. In the 3 years I have had her, we have never picked up cross country penalties.

Martha has scope to burn and is incredibly careful and consistent in the showjumping. Very forgiving to a fence, will take a miss and not hold it against you.

She has incredible paces and is very well liked in the boards. She has scored as low as 20.5 at Hazelton CC100. Although, I will admit this is not my strong phase as a rider so I have not reached the marks she should consistently be at.

Great to hack alone or in company, beach rides, has hunted etc. Very easy on the ground both at home and shows. Good to shoe, dentist, load etc.

Full history known, still in contact with everyone who has been involved in Martha! We would love for her to go to a confident, gutsy young rider wanting to do u18s/go up the levels.

Serious Enquiries only. Genuine reason for sale.
Please send message initially and I will reply (Full time work).

She is a super amateurs horse, super forgiving and always tries super hard for her rider.

She works nicely on the flat, all 3 paces, auto changes, in a snaffle. She is not a stopper, not spooky and easy to handle in all ways. Good for farrier, to clip, to load, dentist, physio, vet ect.

Dora does wind suck.

Open to vetting.

Luna is a 165cm 6 year old mare with a heart of gold. Her breeding is kalaska de semilly which is a son of Diamant, out of a mare whose granddam is clover hill. She is being produced by a teenage girl and is currently jumping discovery in the ring.

Luna is very kind and easy to handle, she hacks out alone and in company and doesn't get silly or fresh after a few days off. She is snaffle mouthed for everything, has beautiful level paces and has done some cross country schooling which she absolutely loves.

She is quiet enough to be ridden by younger or older people and is an old head on young shoulders herself, but equally has enough blood and talent to be produced further. Luna would do a beautiful dressage test as she is lovely to ride and is a safe beautiful mare where all she wants to do is please. She also does her changes.

She could be very exciting for the grass roots eventing or bronze league SJ, or even top end RC/PC. All BN clears for next year in limited outings.

She has very good X-rays, never sick or sorry or had a lame day and has excellent feet. Loads and travels in a big truck, 2 horse and trailer. This is a very sad sale through no fault of her own. Serious enquiries only.
