Excellent temperament with versatile quality

  • He’s hunted, done clinics and fun-rides with previous owner
  • A real favourite with all who meet him

Bred for conformation and temperament, this kind-hearted Cob X is still low mileage and ready to go on to give someone a world of fun.

Jed is snaffle mouthed and works very nicely on the flat. With balanced, expressive paces, we think he can go on to excel in a range of disciplines, with particular potential in the show ring.

He hacks out well around roads and in open spaces, alone or in company, happy in front or behind and is good in traffic.

He’s hunted, done clinics and fun-rides with previous owner and will happily pop round a little course of jumps in a nice rhythm.

He was purchased from his breeder and has been with his current owner for three years where he has mainly been hacking and schooling since then so full history is known.

A real favourite with all who meet him, he loves people and will stand all day to be pampered.

Good to clip, shoe and catch etc. Up to date with vacc’s and teeth. Will turn out with mares or geldings.

He can sometimes get a reaction to pollen in the spring, but this has never been problematic and a nose-net tends to help. Has occasionally been seen to weave in his stable when settling into a new place or when there is lots going on.

He’s a big, well built boy and rides nicely forward off the leg so please no beginners or real novices, though he’s always been impeccably behaved!

He loves a job to do and is happiest in a regular routine. It really is hard to fault this sweet natured chap. It’s an incredibly tough decision to let him go so only this most suitable, kind and knowledgeable home is sought after.

Current owner would love to stay in touch.
He has an extensive wardrobe including fitted saddle, which can be negotiated with price.
Open to any vetting.

Bailey is a 9 year old 16hh gelding eligible for ROR. (Baileys Prayer (FR))
I have owned Bailey since he was 3 years old. I purchased him straight off the track.

Bailey has a very sweet personality like a big puppy so would suit someone that could give him lots of love and cuddles as he is very affectionate. Bailey is clever so in order to keep him on his best behaviour, he should have an experienced assertive rider.
Bailey has only been brought back into work recently (4-5 weeks) (I am pregnant and only recently found someone to ride him for me. Prior to this he had been on a break to correct some poor farriery work after returning from a loan home. His feet are back to normal now thankfully!). His fitness and schooling coming on well.

I unfortunately don’t have the time to keep Bailey as I have two competing horses already and a second child on the way.

Bailey has competed up to 90cm with me a few years ago, but Bailey would probably be better suited to a happy hacking or low level competing home. (Possibly some team chasing) We have popped a couple of jumps on Bailey now he is back in work and he is really enjoying that. He will go off a long or short stride and is super at correcting the strides for you coming into a fence!

Bailey absolutely loves to hack out and is a natural born explorer. He is bold and safe out hacking and will hack alone or in company.
Bailey is good to clip, shoe and loads onto trailers (not experienced with bigger lorries so may need some training on this).
Will only go to a 5* experienced home. Please contact me for further info, videos and pics.

May is a 10 year old 16.1 Dutch Warmblood that could go far in any discipline.

She has show jumped up-to newcomers 1.10 bs but would site a change of pace and would be much happier jumping the smaller tracks. She has a poppy forward jump so someone who is going to give her confidence is a must.

She has been xc schooling a few times and gain confidence every time she is out.

On the hunt field is where I think she would excel. As sensible when in the group and doesn’t get silly or over excited. Will go over hedges etc with a confident lead. I have only taken her once but she really took a shine to it.

On her dressage debut she won with over 70% and hasn’t come home without a red rosette or good score since. She has beautiful big paces which the judges love.

Excellent stamp of a Traditional Gypsy Cob 15.1hh coloured gelding, rising 5yrs ( 5 late July) . Passported TGCA , red stud book .

By San Cler Pearl Ambition out of Acresdale Hairy Mary, who is by the lovely sort after stallion SHAMBO .

Since being with us Rodney has turned heads showing , winning or being placed in every class entered ( inhand and ridden coloureds and cobs) .

We have been told by a professional show breeder and producer to show him County level as he has the potential to qualify HOYS / Royal International etc, but it's not really our thing .

He does a lot of hacking with us, through fords, common land and in traffic. He goes in front or behind and everyone who rides him falls in love. He hasn't done much jumping yet due to his age but has recently been arena XC and jumped absolutely everything asked including water, ditches, steps. I call him Mr "Yes" Man . Still green / wobbly schooling but has three basic paces and ready first someone to put their own stamp on .

Rodney was purchased on a wim last Autumn as current pony was lame but sadly he is going to be too big for the jockey he was meant for so we have come to the sad reality that he needs his forever home. Honest sort that is very hard to find.

Very sweet boy who is going to be someones best friend for life . No vices, up to date worming, teeth, vaccinations etc . A star in the making . Essex.

Beautiful Dapple Grey RID mare with a full Class 1 pedigree. "Darla" is ready to go for grading this summer. She has a kind, trainable temperament, and is a lovely horse to work with. I'm 5' 3" and do everything with her on my own. Howling wind, tractors in the yard, she's not bothered. Good to mount, bath, clip and shoe.

Darla has 3 comfortable, balanced paces and doesn't ride "big" at all. Does everything in a snaffle. Happily jumping small courses with scope to improve. She has hacked, hunted, showjumped and done fun rides in Ireland.

She's still learning to hack out alone as our current yard is on a busy road, but is good in traffic.

A special mare, that rare sort who is sensible enough for a novice, but quality enough to be enjoyed by a more experienced rider.

Sally has been turned away as a field companion for another horse who has now departed. She was backed as a 3 year old and turned away since to mature as she was quite poor.

She has filled out and looks wonderful and ready to come back into work. An amazing friendly genuine horse who loves attention and takes to anything asked of her. The only times she has come in are to have her teeth done, blacksmith and being wormed. On every occasion she has been like any other horse in work. Even the blacksmith wishes all horses in her position were like her temperament wise.

She is being sold from the field as i have no rider. You are welcome to use our facilities and do whatever you want with her here. She is also open to vetting and x rays as i have nothing to hide.

Sally will only be sold to the right loving home, which is what she deserves.

No dealers.

Godington Okavango aka Coco (Elite G Hannibal/EH King Arthur) has done it all and got the T shirt. He has been successful qualifying for the Cotswold Cup and Horse Events Championships at 80 and 90cm.

He has also been successful in unaff dressage (Novice) and SJ 90 cm. He would make an ideal Grass roots eventer but IS NOT for sale as a teenagers eventer - please do not ask. He would also knock the judges' eyes out as a show horse as his conformation is faultless and his movement is dead straight - also he he is a real show off with tremendous ring presence and 'look at me' expression.

Good on the road with all traffic except the heaviest and fastest lorries - alone or in company. Good to clip and with the farrier. Travels like a saint, stands in the lorry all day and doesn't fret in the lorry even if his mates are taken out. This is a really top class horse and we want the best home for him.

Leaving hair on so new owner can decide hog of not to hog…..

Unregistered breeding, quality type with straight, correct movement.

Brian is a well-handled young horse with a kind, genuine attitude. He is:
• Good to handle
• Well behaved in the stable
• Sociable and easy in the field (turned out with other geldings)
• Used to being stabled at night

He is:
• Fully vaccinated
• Regularly wormed
• Feet trimmed routinely
• Bridled and bitted
• Started lunging
• De-sensitising work well started

Moves straight and correct with a loose, natural jump and a willing attitude.

No vices, no blemishes.

He has travelled in two different types of lorries without issue.

Brian was vetted on purchase last year with no advisories, and I am confident he would pass a young horse vetting again.

Brian is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and bring on. With his type, movement, and colour, he has all the attributes to make a very smart 4-year-old next year.

Very sad sale due to my own injury and ongoing surgeries, meaning I won’t be able to do him justice this year, so he is being offered now to find the right, long-term home.

Transport can be arranged within the UK & international transport is also possible via Greenvale Transport.

Offers in region of low 5’s but open to reasonable offers for a genuine sale open to vetting

  • Uncomplicated and genuine, would be competitive in any sphere
  • Incredibly laid back and easygoing personality

Willow is a joy to have around and easy to do in all ways. She has the attributes to excel in any sphere, and offers the perfect balance having seen enough of the world for her new rider to crack on, but equally has not been rushed.

She has been to arena hires where she has taken everything in her stride, never once thinking to stop / run out, and happily popping over all sorts of jumps. She is not in the slightest way spooky, and always extremely sensible and a joy to take out.

Willow has also been XC schooling which she loves, and is excellent with water, ditches, steps etc, completing her first hunter trial with a clear. Willow has also been hunting at a busy closing meet where she again behaved impeccably, standing very well, and feeling very safe. She is complemented wherever we go with it being easy to forget you’re sat on an 4yo!!

Willow hacks out very confidently alone or in company, is never strong, and excellent in all sorts of traffic. She is very independent and happy to leave her friends to hack back home and also loves the beach! She is snaffle mouthed at all times and always very polite.

Willow is good to catch, clip, load, shoe etc - anyone can look after her on the ground and she has no stable vices. She’s very level headed and is the type that you can give a few days off and get back on with no problems.

Willow has been straightforward at every stage and a pleasure to ride. In a perfect world she wouldn’t be going anywhere however A Level commitments before university force sale.

Although Willow is a very safe and sensible mare for her age, she’s not for a novice or nervous rider and I would like to ensure that wherever she goes she will be able to progress in her education and fullfill her potential in a knowledgeable home.

  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Luna - a lovely tempered rising 7 year old thoroughbred mare. Very attractive and striking looking mare with such a great attitude to all types of work whether she is schooling on the flat, grid/pole work or jumping.

She has been slowly produced over the last 8-10 months and is now ready for a new owner to continue her development.

She is eligible for RoR and would make a top event prospect as she is already proving to be very bold and brave.

Luna has been out to a few BS shows jumping on a ticket and has been well behaved in the warm up ring and enjoyed the challenge of jumping indoors and outside. She has also been XC schooling and has proved to be very bold and brave jumping ditches and a wide range of fences

Luna has no vices she is easy to catch, box, shoe, clip and load and is a pleasure to handle inside and out of her stable.

She is a genuine mare with the talent and the temperament and would suit someone who is competitive and wanting to develop her further.

This gorgeous mare was shown lightly at county level last year with great placings. She is super correct with 3 very good paces and outsantanding canter !! She was ridden for a few months last year then turned away to mature.

She is lovely and light with snaffle mouth, has hacked on her own and in company, behaved impeccably at shows, good to box, catch, feet trim etc. She is ready now for someone to make their own to show or general all round riding. She is 4yrs old so please no time wasters or joyriders as this is a very special.

She has high value to the breed herd after her ridden career is done, she was inspected and accepted into Class 1 of the IDHS stud book as a 2yr old. Her pedigree contains some of the most prolific show winning mares and stallions of genetic value.
