WONDERFUL ALLROUNDER

Approx 15.2/15.3 7yrs old, Irish Sports Horse

Full breeding recorded Connemara X

Kestral is such a lovely boy with the sweetest temperament. He's a kind, gentle horse and thrives on having a fuss made of him.

He has a brave athletic jump, both show jumping and cross country. He is a nicely forward going ride and responsive off the leg and voice.

He is lovely to hack in open spaces and out along the country lanes. He is used to farm machinery etc.

He is super to load, travel and stands in the wash bay, good to groom etc.

He has completed two seasons hunting as hunt service and in the field and he has competed in eventing, hunter trials and show jumping with a teenage girl who has owned him since he was a foal. Only for sale due to college commitments.

He turns out happily in a mixed herd and is equally content living in or out.

A genuine, kind horse who would make a fantastic all-rounder for someone looking for a fun, competitive partner. He has all the attributes to become a serious grassroots contender.

15h 5yo grey Class 1 Connemara gelding by I love you melody - one of the most highly desired bloodlines of Connemaras with wonderful, kind and willing temperaments as well as huge talent for competitions.

He was bought to produce and sell and has been an easy horse to do and ride, he has 3 easy rhythmical paces with the comfiest canter, combined with a soft mouth. He has since competed at Intro and Prelim dressage with scores up to 67% and has potential to go up the levels.

Having done a bit hunting and jumping in Ireland, he came over to the UK and has continued his education. He has a good range of experience with us, having been out to arena hires, clear rounds, and camps and both pole and grid work clinics. He has been good when having lessons on his own or in groups and does not hang towards the other horses.

Competition wise he has jumping up to 80cm at shows and up to 90cm in training and some 1/1.05m at the end of grid showing lots of scope but remains genuine on a wrong stride. He makes a super space over a jump and keeps a lovely forward rhythm. He is good with all sorts of fillers and simulated XC fences.

He has been good cross country, jumped at a range of venues including after BE and Cotswold Cup events at 70/80cm. He has competed at 70cm 2 phase eventing, he shows a good gallop without getting strong and doesn’t fizz up when out cantering with other horses.

He is a kind and gentle horse to handle on the ground, yet flashy and super smart when ridden with the potential to go up the grades in any chosen discipline. Although I believe could be aimed at Badminton Grassroots, he would equally go down the Dressage or pure SJ route.

Good to shoe, box, catch. Hacks out alone and in company, good to canter in open fields. He currently lives out at night and in in the day but doesn’t like too much time stabled and has been a bit worried when left so suits a home with turn out Travelled in both a lorry and trailer. N/N for hoof wall

Good home sort for this kind and genuine allrounder who has lots of competition potential !

SUPER COOPER

Approx 15.2/15.3hh, 5-year-old gelding.

A very special young horse with the most wonderful, kind temperament. Cooper is an absolute pleasure to have in the yard and to do anything with.

He has three lovely, active, uphill paces and is naturally athletic, with a careful, scopey jump and plenty of ability.

Cooper hacks in open spaces, along country lanes and is sensible in traffic and around farm machinery.

He is excellent to catch, load, travel, wash down, handle etc and such a good boy when taking him away from home to different venues. He stands and waits patiently for his turn when away schooling or at shows and doesn't mind when you take his friend away from him and leave him on the box on his own. Making him an easy horse to enjoy both at home and away.

Cooper would suit someone looking for a quality young horse to produce and put their own stamp on. He has all the attributes to be competitive in any sphere while being a genuinely kind and enjoyable fun partner.

His stamp and type are like hens teeth!

He is straight-moving and has no lumps, bumps or blemishes.

Willow is a lovely, kind mare with a gentle attitude and a genuine desire to please. She has three attractive, balanced paces and works in a correct outline, with an athletic canter and a willing, enthusiastic approach to her work.

She is a versatile mare who enjoys her job, whether that’s schooling, hacking, or jumping. Willow is excellent to hack both alone and in company, remaining sensible and laid-back without becoming hot or fizzy, even in groups. She has a natural jump, makes a fantastic shape over a fence, and shows plenty of ability, making her an exciting prospect for a variety of disciplines.

We feel Willow would make a brilliant hunting horse, while also being equally happy enjoying riding club activities, fun rides, and all-round family life. She is straightforward to ride and has been a pleasure to have on the yard.

On the ground, Willow is lovely to handle with a sweet nature. She can be a little nervous around vets, but is generally very well behaved and easy to manage. She is beautifully put together with excellent conformation and a lovely, quality stamp that catches the eye wherever she goes.

A genuinely kind, honest mare who is ready to find a new home where she can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated.

• Dreams of BD Petplan Championships?
• Aspirations of winning Working Equitation competitions but have a 1999 rather than a 2026 budget?
• Well then Sonny is your man!

The Stupendous Sonny!

Now, you folks will remember this happy, handsome chap was advertised a couple of months ago.

The reason he is being re-advertised is through absolutely no fault of his own.

After he was advertised, his owner was then hoping she would actually be able to keep him (and I was very much hoping this would happen as she adores him and he was the perfect horse for her) but sadly due to circumstances changing, that couldn’t happen and so he is looking for his forever human to have a ton of fun and many adventures with.

His full ad is below. I must reiterate that he has been here with me for a year on livery, firstly starting his rehab correctly and then in full work. The absolute perfect partner for a confident, experienced rider with a limited budget to get straight out and enjoy dressage and working equitation, he is extensively, classically trained both under saddle and in hand (check out the pictures of the start of the Spanish walk!)

....

15.1h, 9 year old Sonny is a registered British Sports Horse who is very sadly looking for his new home due to his owners non horse related injury.

Sonny has spent the last three years perfecting his fancy footwork. He is classically trained in Dressage, he’s working up to Medium level at home with established lateral work. He absolutely adores his flat work and loves to learn, putting his best foot forward at each and every session and looking a picture whilst doing so. 

He works in a soft, correct frame, no tension or behind the vertical here, his canter transitions are some of the nicest I’ve seen and his halts are a sight to behold. His stretching/free walk will definitely garner great scores in the arena. Although established, Sonny has yet to compete BD so is a blank canvas points wise and he is an absolute certainty for Petplan/Associated Championships with the right rider.

‘What about the Working Equation you speak of’ I hear you ask?? Well allow me to tell you. Sunny has been extensively trained both in this field and on the flat by Marcia Wakeman, Classical Dressage and British Working Equitation Level 3 coach and he knows his stuff - as you can see from the video!

He has been lightly competed and highly placed in Working Equitation and he has winning potential. He is working at Novice/Inter B level at home. 

Sonny is an incredibly happy chap with a super temperament and he always has a smile on his face. He loves his hacking out, he is fun and up for it but not strong, he canters in a group quite happily in front or behind. He can have the odd spook but he doesn’t have nasty bone in his body and it wouldn’t even  register on the radar of a confident jockey whatsoever. He goes out in the field in a bunch and doesn’t mind if you take his pals away, he ties up patiently on the yard, he leads in in a group from the field and he is good to catch, box, shoe and clip.

The reason Sonny is not double the price he is is that he had a hind suspensory injury two years ago. After top class veterinary investigation, treatment with no expense spared and rehab carried out to the letter, he is sound and has been on livery with me for a year in full work. Due to his history his owner is open to sensible/realistic offers as the right home is the most important thing. He is a very special, happy boy who will bring someone a lot of joy.

All the pictures and videos on here were taken in the last few weeks. 

Sonny is looking for his perfect pal to go out and have fun with strutting his fancy stuff between the whiteboards, he is good out at shows etc, ties up nicely to the lorry and waits around patiently. An experienced, confident rider will love his happy attitude and have a long fun and success!

Sonny is based in Wiltshire, SN4 9QF, please call/Whatsapp me on 07888675300 for a chat about him.
