Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder

  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • 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.

5yo 16hh Irish Sports Horse Gelding, stunning steel grey

He is a striking 5-year-old Irish Sports Horse gelding standing approximately 16hh, with full recorded traditional breeding. He is a quality young horse with the talent, scope, and attitude to progress up the levels, making him an exciting prospect for a competent rider looking for a future eventer, showjumper, or quality allrounder.

He is a forward-going, athletic horse who shows excellent natural ability over a fence. He has already been introduced to both show jumps and cross-country fences, where he has proven to be careful, bold, and scopey, naturally taking you to a fence with confidence. He has also attended a number of unafliated shows, gaining valuable experience away from home.

On the flat, he is established in walk, trot, and canter on both reins and continues to improve with his schooling. He has a trainable attitude and a willing outlook, giving him the potential to develop into a very smart competition horse or even a future schoolmaster with further mileage.

He hacks happily alone or in company and is sensible out and about. He has seen farm machinery and is good in traffic, proving to be level-headed for his age.

He is well mannered on the yard and easy to have around. He is good to tack up, stands quietly to be mounted, and has a kind, genuine temperament. On the ground he is easy to handle, good for shoeing, clipping, grooming, and leading to and from the field.

This is a genuine young horse with a bright future, but due to his forward nature and age he is not suitable for novices. He would thrive with a confident rider looking to produce a talented young horse.

I bought Liquorice as a bay foal (22/3/23), she was a sweetie from the start. Within a year she had started to show her grey hairs, she’s going to be a grey! She’s just turned 3.

With her interesting breeding Irish draught 50% Cleveland bay25% tb 25% I think she will be a magnificent combination in the show ring and a really useful all rounder. She is currently about 15-1ish growing well. Could make 15.2+

I’m selling her as I need to reduce my numbers, but would like to find her a forever home.

My Lovley Roxy, Ive owed her since a unbroken 3 year old, I left her to mature a little longer before I broke her in at 4 by myself. She's been out and done dressage and was super relaxed and enjoyed her outings and was placed every time.
She is stunning with a relaxed nature.

Ive kept her on DIY livery so every day I've seen her and looked after her.

The past couple of years she has not been out competing, just hacking and schooling becouse of my circumstances, waste of a talented mare, id love her to go out competing again and do some showing, Ive not done any jumping with her just out once x/c and poles in school as I don't have help.

My daughters have hacked and enjoyed her but now don't have the time and Ive not got the time as of work commitments.

She has no vices, and home is more important than price and she can come with a full wardrobe, shes not really for the larger person and although she is lazy and relaxed she still is a Horse so no novice please
I love her so much and this a really hard decision for me.

Horse of a Lifetime- Golden Delight

  • Forward responsive ride and loves to work. Never spooky
  • Amateurs Dream - safe and easy all respects

Golden Delight (Millie) combines the rare combination of presence and talent with a lovely safe and easy temperament making her the perfect horse for ambitious amateur rider.

She has 3 expressive, powerful paces and is a forward ride and lovely soft snaffle mouth. Millie is low milage as she has been allowed to grow into her frame and is therefore a little green for her age.

She still needs to learn to balance herself at times and currently needs her rider to help her stay connected, but she is a quick learner and loves her schooling.

She shows real ability to both collect and take the weight behind and extend and has potential for the higher levels. She is very focused and does not spook in the arena.

Millie has seen coloured fences and is bold and honest to a jump but she has not done much jumping and her forte is dressage.

Millie is good to hack out alone and in company and is polite and controllable in open spaces. Millie was imported from Ireland and could have very well hunted their but we have no proof of this. She does show all the attributes to be a top class hunter as she is not marish or bothered by other horses close to her. She also would be a fantastic horse for fun/beach rides etc.

Millie is polite and easy to handle, good to catch, box, shoe, clip etc; she is a kind and friendly mare who loves people.

She really is a horse of a lifetime for the right person and is only very sadly for sale due to current owners ongoing back problem. Not for someone very novice or nervous as she does have an engine and big movement.

Millie has some very small sarcoids on her inner thigh that have not changed over the last year. She also has a heart murmur that has been fully investigated by a cardiologist is not of any concern. Report is available to confirm this. This is reflected in price.
