Beautiful Talented Mare


Ref #: 385924
  • Good conformation
  • Well mannered
  • No vices
£6,750 ONO
  • Sport Horse
  • Liver chestnut
  • Mare
  • 17 years
  • 15.1 hands
  • Good conformation
  • Well mannered
  • No vices
Lily is a beautiful, well-put-together 15.1hh mare with a lovely temperament and a willing attitude. She is currently ridden by two competent 17-year-olds and has shown nothing but honesty and potential in everything she does. She hacks out alone or in company, unfazed by traffic, large farm machinery. She also has lovely manners on the ground, she loads easily, stands quietly for the farrier, and is regularly handled and ridden on a busy working farm.

Lily is currently jumping 60–65cm, she always try’s her hardest, however sometimes needs an extra squeeze for reassurance as she has only been bought back into work earlier this year. She is never strong to a fence, with a snaffled mouth, shows scope to jump higher and has all the ingredients to be a grassroots jumper, and will easily go up the levels with the right rider.

On the flat, she produces a lovely, natural shape with a soft snaffle mouth and three balanced paces. She is showing real promise in her schooling, with a naturally rhythmical way of going and a good attitude. Her movement is correct and attractive, and she will only improve further with continued work and strength-building.

Lily is currently barefoot, but has worn shoes before, she lives on a working farm, and is used to a busy atmosphere. Lily loves attention and will stand happily while being groomed and cuddled. She will live in or out, but has always had daily turnout when stabled. She has had two foals in the past and was ridden before breeding. She was brought back into work earlier this year and has made excellent progress in a short space of time.

Lily is a truly lovely mare with a bright future ahead and would suit a competent teen, small adult, or experienced rider looking to enjoy bringing on a kind, talented horse, due to her still being relatively early in her return to work, she wouldn’t be suitable for a complete novice — she is not sharp or silly, just needs a confident and capable rider to continuing to progress.

No vices and no lumps or bumps. She is good with the farrier, dentist and vet.

There is nothing this mare hasn’t done, from sidesaddle to jumping and everything in between. Give her a job and she will excel at it!

Sky is a 16.1hh 16yo ISH mare, with fantastic breeding including Heartbreaker, Postillion and Parkmore Princess. She has excelled in the showing circuit, including sidesaddle classes and working hunter.

Sky is a true schoolmaster on the flat, and carries a lovely shape through 3 correct paces. She has a standout canter with and active hind leg and a real WOW medium trot. She has good scores out competing and would easily go out tomorrow and hold her own!

Sky hacks alone and in company, and has seen village and farm traffic. She loads and travels well alone and in company. She has hunted both in Ireland and the UK, and sidesaddle. She is good to shoe, load, catch, clip etc. No vices.

Sky is looking for a 5* home, she will give so much fun to give her next rider, and a good home is paramount!

One in a Million Connemara, knows his job and loves his job! A real part of the family pony whose loved by everyone!

I’ve had the pleasure of owning Duke for 6 years and in that time he has taken me from jumping 90cm to 1m15 and 1m30 at home. Everyone who knows Duke knows how unbelievably special he is.

Duke does everything and anything from hunting to show jumping he has done it all! He has a record competing at 1m10/1m15, BS and unaffiliated. He absolutely loves his jumping, he is strong, quick and competitive .

He really is part of the family and on the ground he can be handled by a toddler! He loves beach rides, fun rides and long hacks. He is an absolute cross country machine and will jump everything and anything put in front of him. He is the bravest horse I’ve ever met with an absolute heart of gold. All good to clip, shoe, load etc, the usual.

This is the hardest thing I will ever have to do and homes will be vetted. I am of course open to any and every question regarding Duke as his new home is the most important thing to me.

He’s wasted potential at the moment and needs to be out having fun! I have loads more photos and videos on request.

Safe & Steady Cob Mare

Location: Stockport, Cheshire, SK2
Name: Winnie
Breed: Cob
Age: 18 years
Height: 15.3hh
Colour: Black & White
Sex: Mare
Type: All-Rounder / Happy Hacker / Schoolmistress / RDA Suitable
Special Qualities: Weight Carrier, Safe for Nervous Riders, Low Maintenance

The Ultimate Confidence Giver

Winnie is an exceptional 15.2hh cob mare 18yrs young, super fit with absolutely no stiffness or arthritis, 100% fit and health in every way, she requires no supplements or medication, this mate is truly a 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 and nervous adults to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm and steady ride.

Winnie 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 “woah” than “go”, making her a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability or responsiveness.

Ideal for Beginners, RDA, or All-Round Riders

Winnie is currently worked in a very busy riding school environment and she has excelled with every level of rider – from total novices to advanced. She is also a firm favourite for RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) and special requirements sessions, both under saddle and during stable management and therapy activities.

She has experience in flatwork lessons, both private and group, as well as participating in our in-house low level showjumping and cross-country novice classes and competitions. She is confident over coloured and rustic fences and has a bold, careful jump.

Winnie also 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.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible.

Manners, Temperament & Handling

Winnie has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she’s 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.

Winnie 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 catch, great to load and travel, and good 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 her annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

A Truly Special Mare

Winnie is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you’re a nervous adult, a beginner rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Winnie 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.

Why Is She for Sale?

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 so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Winnie is ready to bring joy to her next rider and deserves the very best home.

She has been to two pony club camps, been on lots of beach rides, taken part in School Show jumping, fun rides, hunter trails and loves hunting. She has evented up to 80 and Show Jumps confidently at 90.

Lea really enjoys hunting but needs a competent rider, as she can get very excited whilst hunting.

Lea is good to hack out and good with all traffic. She hacks out alone or with company but prefers to go out with others.

Would suit a competent teen or small adult. No novices, as she can be strong.

DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

Ref #: 249896
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below

One of the main issues that RDA groups face is finding an Equine to suit the needs of the participants in their group.

We are regularly contacted with offers of Equines that are ‘the ideal RDA horse or pony’ when actually what is ideal for one group may not be for the next. We are trying to move away from the stereotypical view that RDA Equines are elderly and somewhat static, our horses and ponies need to be fit, healthy and athletic to cope with the lifestyle in an RDA group.

They can range from smaller, forward going ponies to weight carrying cobs and can take part in a range of disciplines from Riding to Carriage Driving, Vaulting to Show Jumping and Endurance.

If you contact an RDA Group about your Equine please be prepared to fill in an Equine Initial Interest Form which will ask you many questions about your horses’ temperament, health history, experience and lifestyle. Many groups will prefer to have an equine on trial to make sure they are suitable for the job.

For long term loans and purchases they will also be required to have a Pre-Purchase Examination.

If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below.

She is a genuine mare who will make someone a much-loved partner.

Owned for 3.5 years taking my daughter off ponies onto her first horse. Sadly for sale so daughter can focus on studying.

We have done a lot of pony club activities including the last 4 years’ camps, competing and qualifying for regional or national championships in dressage, SJ and ODE at 80 & 90.

Sunny hacks alone or in company, good with farm machinery and heavy traffic including double decker buses.

Very good to shoe, clip (teenage daughter has now learnt to clip), travel and catch. Up to date with teeth, wormer and vaccinations.

We have a trailer but previous owner had a 3.5t lorry.

He’s enjoyed beach rides too. He requires a competent handler and is not a novice ride. He would be better on individual turnout.

Snaffle mouthed at home, 3 ring gag for cross country and SJ.

Would suit someone looking for a general hack or a parent / child share, or to do dressage or jump up to 80cm, offering a lot to someone wanting a fun horse for lower level competitions. Full medical history will be discussed with interested parties - Sunny has steroid hock injections (last one June 2025), this is reflected in price as home is very important.

15 year old, Spanish sports horse 15.3hh gelding all rounder

A very sad sale due to his owner moving away.

Pedro is a real genuine gentleman who loves fuss and cuddles, he has three good paces and has previously show jumped before joining our dressage livery yard so we have now mainly produced his flat work, he is a pro at long reining and still does lots of pole work. He hacks out well best in company, and is always up for a good canter on our local common, So he really is a great all rounder and turns his hoof to anything you put him up to.

Pedro would suit a confident rider as he has a big canter and can look for confidence in his rider, he would make a great teenagers horse for someone looking to learn a bit of everything and have some fun or someone with confidence and experience would compliment him well.

5* home over anything else for this gorgeous kind boy and would like for his next home to be his forever home

  • Spudley is an absolute dream to hack out

Bay gelding, 16.2, 18 years young.

Spudley has 590 BD points and has competed up to Intermediate eventing. After a break through no fault of his own, he has now been brought back into work and is back up to fulll fitness for competition. 

He is absolutely superb on the flat and would look after and teach any young rider. He has been out show jumping for an outing and popped round 80cm beautifully for a third place in a big class. He has been cross country schooling with a relative novice on board. 

Spudley is an absolute dream to hack out alone or in company, doesn't mind a large group and will not get strong or silly, never bucks, rears or naps. 

Behaves beautifully at competitions, loads and travels well. Will stand on the lorry and wait his turn and ties up to the side as well. 

Very easy horse to do, fully vaccinated and ready for a super family home. 

Fully vaccinated.

Genuine reason for sale.

  • Quality stamp
  • Very rideable

Sue is a beautiful 16.3hh chestnut mare looking for a loving home. Very sad sale due to work commitments and travelling so home is a top priority!

Sue is a very easy going mare, an uncomplicated ride and never gets strong. She has her own funny little ways of doing things (she is a mare after all) but once you get to know her is the easiest horse you could hope to ride

Been on numerous fun rides and hunting, happy to sit at the front or back and always in a simple rubber snaffle, never gets strong and just sits in her quiet, even canter!

Schools beautifully in all 3 paces and is the queen of grid work

Hasn’t done much showjumping other than the odd unaffiliated, some classes in Ireland as a youngster and a BSJA on a ticket

Hacks alone and in company however can need a lead off the yard if she gets attached to another horse (will go from there alone)

Has had a couple of lovely foals before being brought back into work and makes a great mother

Never sick or sorry, she has a scar just above one hoof from a cut as a young horse however this has never affected her!

The time has now come to find The wonderful Mr Ed his new forever home.

We have owned this fantastic horse, now aged 17, for over 9 years.

During this time he has been ridden by a wide range of teenagers and adults in our pony club centre, which sadly closed 10 months ago.

I had hoped to keep him forever but he is being wasted and has so much talent and experience still to give.

Ed is a stunning Irish bred, 16.2hh gelding who works beautifully on the flat, with placings at Unaffiliated Novice dressage and countless winnings Show jumping including Pony Club team SJ at Hickstead.

He pops round 100 tracks, happily taking a miss and always helping his riders out. Previously to us owning him, Ed hunted with Surrey Union.

Ed is 100 % in traffic and is an enjoyable, comfortable hack in company.

Ed makes all his riders look and feel fantastic. Everyone that has ever ridden him loves him.

He is the easiest horse to ride and jump and a really kind, genuine horse to do.

He is super easy to handle, catch, clip, shoe and loads and travels beautifully in our 7.5t lorry. He currently lives out but is also happy in and has super stable mannors.

A very special home is required for this much loved horse.

Price includes Whitaker saddle, bridle tack and full wardrobe of rugs.
