Blue Cross Clover

  • Prefers to live out 24/7
£180
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 15 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Non-ridden companion
  • Prefers to live out 24/7

Based at Rolleston Centre

Meet Clover, a sweet gelding looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. As Clover is a cob type he doesn’t need a lot of grass, so would suit a home where he can be restricted with other horses that need a similar set up.

Clover is currently living out 24/7. He can live with mares or geldings, making him an excellent addition to any herd. Clover can find being stabled a little unsettling so would suit a home where he can live out as much as possible.

Clover benefits greatly from one-on-one human interaction and would do well with a patient, understanding handler in a peaceful field environment with other horses. And once a bond is formed, he’ll be a loving companion.

Can you offer Clover a loving home?

Please adopt Clover

Meet Bruce
11year old 16.1

Flashing dark bay/black thoroughbred.

Finished racing 2023

Same home since, has done abit of everything and is a total poppet to deal with.

Unfortunately he now has a heart murmur and therefore current owners have decided they wish for him to be sold as a companion or could be a fantastic ROR in hand showing horse. He moves beautifully.

He passed a 5-stage vetting when we purchased him in 2023 and no murmur was detected at that time.

To ride ( while we don't wish to carry on) if you so wish to that would be at your discretion.

He's a fantastic soul. We are asking a very small donation to a secure a fantastic home for him. Please call for any questions

Marvin is looking for a kind, experienced home to bring him back into work.
He has been out of work since about May this year due to me not having the time. Before his time off I was just hacking out and riding around our fields which he has been very chilled and was very happy to do what was asked of him.

I was told in his last home he did abit of everything and he was a good all rounder.

He as live out 24/7 in summer and since September he as had the nights in. He is easy to catch, when he knows you he will just follow you in.
Anyone can turn him out or bring him in.
He is good for the dentist, physio and improving with the farrier sometimes he just needs a few treats. He has front shoes on.

He is a genuinely kind horse who tries hard but he does need to build his trust with you.

I just don’t have the time so I feel it’s only fair to find him a home where he can get the consistency and attention he deserves.

He is updated with everything.

He is sensitive round his back legs but if you take your time with him he is fine, this as improved since I have had him but I do believe someone who could work with him more consistency this wouldn’t be an issue.

Also he does had a bump on him face just abit above his nose, this doesn’t affect him at all. He had this before I had him. When his bridle is on or headcollar you can’t see it. See photo

A very honest advert.

I am ashamed to admit that I do not have the time, money or grass (!) that Arthur needs and I’m seeing if the perfect person is out there for him.

I have had him from a two year old (over from Ireland) and backed him myself. He was always the reliable old head on young shoulders. I used to lead an unbacked 3 year old mare from him as a freshly backed 4 year old.

However over the last year he’s been dealt a rough hand physically and I have recently had a baby, culminating in him having a lot of time off and me having no time to properly give him any attention. He’s gone back in his shell and lost the bond we had which I’m so sad about. He is an introvert and a sensitive soul despite his size and could really do with some 1-to-1. I have two other horses and really struggle to do more than turn in and out with him.

He is currently recovering from a tendon injury, he is field sound but could do with more time off / out I think before being brought back into work. All other veterinary history will be disclosed to any potential homes.

Come spring I’m sure he would be straightforward to bring back into work and hopefully be able to enjoy life ambling around the country side. He is not built for speed really so someone who likes a slower pace of life would be great.

I realise this is the worst time of year to find homes but I physically don’t have enough grass or money for hay to keep him myself. Really hoping he can find his miracle person.

Has travelled in a 3.5ton, trailer and bigger Lorrie’s without a problem.
