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


Ref #: 394720

  • Striking middleweight ID cross mare with fabulous movement in all 3 gaits
  • 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.

Super quality full Connemara gelding 15.1 5yo. He has super elastic paces and a very natural and scopey jump and gives a great feel. He has xc schooled, seen ditches, water, steps etc, been to arena hires sj and arena eventing and attended his first couple of sj shows. He is fantastic to take out, great to load and stands on and off the lorry and waits his turn.

I bought Higgins last summer and have been slowly producing him since then. I think a lot of him and really think he has it all going for him for the future. He hasn’t been at all rushed. He gives a super feel over a fence and is a naturally athletic type. He's a very correct mover with really good step. He has great potential for grassroots eventing, WH, PC/RC etc. He really could go on to do any job. He is much more a ‘ small horse’ to ride than ‘pony.’

He has done plenty of hacking, mostly in company due to age but he has also been on his own a few times recently. He is more confident in company but will go alone and is never nappy. He has seen all types of traffic and been ridden in open spaces. Always in a snaffle.

He is still a young horse and although never at all nasty he can be a little spooky (normally at something fairly mundane) so no novices or people buying their first horse. He is a forward going and responsive ride and likes having a job to do. I would love to see him in a home where he can fulfil his huge potential.

He is lovely to deal with on the floor, good to lead, catch, load and was very good for his first clip.

My secret (or not so secret) little favourite girl …. Meet ‘Pixie’ - a super fun, pocket rocket, totally sane and super smart 15.3hh, 8yo, TB mare
No lumps , bumps , blemishes nor vices

Pixie ran on the flat just twice , so don’t let this put you off!! However, that makes her ROR eligible and my word , there’s some classes to be won with her there !

The KINDEST mare alive in and out of the stable!! Sweetest of mare’s , should be a bay gelding! Super for the farrier, great to catch, loads and travels perfectly … totally vice free and easy!!!

Beautifully well schooled! Works in a natural outline in all three paces. Super flashy mover and easy to ride. Forward and off the leg but remains in a snaffle and is extremely polite and sane

She absolutely LOVES to jump!! She won’t ever say no to a fence , bold , brave and always up for it! She could be very competitive in this sphere. I can just see her with a confident teen having the time of their lives!! I wish I’d had this mare when I was in the pony club! Would also suit anyone like me , a grown adult who appreciates this mare wholeheartedly for being extremely safe and easy but a whole heap of fun!! Pixie has been to unaffiliated shows and plenty of clinics etc

Hacks out perfectly, alone or in company! The perfect nanny horse. Hacks in the heaviest of traffic and is always reliable. My yard girls are having the absolute world of fun with her. Mannerly in open spaces but loves it when you give her the okay to canter through the field!

Pixie is 100 percent straightforward and genuine. However she is a mare with an engine and a real love for life so not for anyone novice etc! She is a super mare with so much to give her new best friend! My yard girls aren’t going to be very happy with me when she leaves that’s for sure. Owners personal circumstances force this sale. This is not an easy decision. Owner would love to stay in touch

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home


Ref #: 403610

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Proudly introducing the gorgeous ‘Bambi’ - stunning 16.3hh approx , 8yo , Irish gelding
No lumps , bumps , blemishes nor medical history
Same home for five years

Bambi is very kind on the ground and super easy to have on the yard. He is perfect to catch, loads and travels perfectly and has a very gentleman manner about him. Bambi is very reserved and nervous of new people until he gets to know you. He then, very quickly comes out of his shell and you shows you what a cheeky chappy he is!

I could ride this boy all day long on the flat. He’s been beautifully produced by his owner. Snaffle mouthed and never strong. A nice leg in each corner type. Works in a beautiful outline and is very easy to adjust. Bambam is a beautiful mover with the world’s most comfortable canter around! Ready to go to a dressage show tomorrow and would no doubt be in the thrillies.

Bambi is bold and brave when jumping. Has been to many clinics , lessons, and small training shows. Has a very easy approach a fence , super honest, good technique, and very forgiving! With further production, who knows what he could do! Enjoys XC and has done a few hunter trails / ODE’s. Bold and consistently mannerly , again, so much to be played with!

Hacks out very well, alone or in company. Is sensible in traffic and really enjoys this. Super in open spaces. Hacks around quiet country lanes or down the busy A roads! He is very reliable and consistent and one of my personal rides of choice

There is a BUT , here’s why he’s not 12k ….
Bambi is extremely nervous of new riders. He has only ever had myself and his owner ride him(Just started to introduce my yard girl)
Bambi is natural worrier! He had never bucked nor reared etc or done anything nasty! He is 100% genuine. However , he does get very tense and needs competent reassurance from the rider. Now that I’ve ridden him a fair bit , he is super with me on board. He just needs someone to be his friend and have a 1-1 relationship with his new owner. Bambi is also nervous with the farrier. Again, not at all nasty, just needs patience and reassurance

This has been an extremely difficult and long thought out decision for his current owner and is purely down to personal circumstances and nothing at all to do with Bambi. She would very much like to stay in touch. His tack is available separately

I really do think a lot of this super little horse and I don’t want to get this wrong for him so please only the best of homes needs enquire

A winner in every discipline.. meet ‘Colorado ‘ aka ‘ Coli’ - show stopping warmblood x Tb with the most impressive CV going! Standing at 16.2HH, 8yo gelding. Substantial stamp with no lumps , bumps or blemishes. sired by ‘Aviea’

Been in same home since a yearling

Shown as a foal with great success. Prolific winner in hand at numerous championships at county level , too many to name

Many wins at county level as a 4 and 5 year old in large riding horse and lightweight hunter classes

Top 10 at the London international horse show with a 7th place finish out of 33 of the country’s best in the large riding horse class

In the last two years Coli has done some BS classes. Several wins and clears in the British Novice and Discovery classes. He really is an out and out winner in all disciplines

Has been XC schooling and loves it. He is extreme bold and brave. Many championship wins in working hunter classes

Not only is he a winning machine, he is the kindest horse you’ll ever wish to find. He is outstanding to clip, box , shoe, load , travel , turnout , catch, live in or out …. I could go on and on. He loves affection, and will give you kisses all day long!

He is always snaffle mouthed. Extremely straight and easy to ride. Currently using him as a school master to give lessons to my yard girls on. He is exceptionally forgiving and knows his job. This is a horse of a lifetime. A nice leg in each corner type who never says no. Doesn’t get sharp or silly, not ever.

Rock solid to hack out! Alone or in company. Currently giving a lead to all my breakers. Fantastic in open spaces. Stands perfectly at the mounting block. Opens and closes gates etc

Very careful jump and will go on a whopper of a miss and never take offence by this.

He would take a novice but due ti being a competition horse I want him to continue to do what he does best with a capable rider. Would suit a teen or any adult wanting to go and win , have fun and a team mate along the way.

He’s one of the best horses money could buy however he does need to wear a collar in stable as will crib. A very easy fix to just pop a collar on. That’s why he’s not 20k

I’ve proved him very affordably to see him find the perfect partner and free up the stable
Open to any vet or inspection
Delivery available (travels in trailer or lorry)
Plenty of professional references available for this absolutely legend of a horse
Owners personal circumstances force sale - nothing to do with Coli!

COLBY 16.2h 5yo.

A proper stamp with a leg in each corner & 10” bone.

Owned since a foal and broken in by ourselves as a 3.5-year-old. He has always been a very manageable and accommodating type, with a loving, kind, and affectionate temperament.

He has hunted a full season with various packs, including drag, bloodhounds, and trail. He will hack out alone with no napping, spooking, spinning, bucking, bolting, or rearing, and is good in traffic and most importantly he stands quietly at the pub.!!

Colby will come off the lorry anywhere and remain calm and relaxed. He stands well at the meet, will queue for a fence, and is equally happy to lead. He is super bold and would make a serious Masters horse, but is also steady enough for a family share. Also rides and leads little pony’s !!

He has been on several riding holidays and fun rides with me last summer. We always do plenty of cross-country schooling with our horses, so he is excellent with ditches, banks, water, timber, and hedges.

He is a lovely, unspoilt five-year-old, produced slowly, and is now ready for his new home. We will all be very sad to see him go.

He would make a fabulous candidate for the mounted police.

Absolutely no vices.
No trials. No loans. No payment plans. No swaps. No novices. No happy hackers. No first time buyers. Proper hunting people or close, need apply.
