EVENTING / SHOW JUMPING / WORKING HUNTER / DRESSAGE / HUNTING

A perfect horse for a very competitive young rider looking for top results. He has moved up through the grades with a junior rider to compete successfully at novice level. He won his last novice competition in a class of 21 at Tattersalls. With a competitive rider with experience of competition they could move on quickly. This horse will give a rider lots of confidence and fun as he has experience of all types of fences. He is ready for a new rider who is looking to excel Show Jumping 110 or Novice Eventing.

He would suit a young rider coming off ponies or a small adult looking for a competitive ride, eventing, working hunter, dressage.

He is very honest, brave, clever and naturally quick, he rides forward in a comfortable stride, he doesn't like to touch a fence. He has a lively step and has no trouble making the time.

He has a fantastic temperament and has a quiet nature, lovely horse in the stable.

He is easy to shoe, clip and stands quietly to be washed. He travels in a horse box or lorry. He loads and travels well.

Please contact me for any more information 07936913512

I am based in Northern Ireland one hour from the airport and boat.

Christy is a real schoolmaster who knows his job and is a nice type who always wants to please.

He has evented to 100 and showjumped to 1.10m with teenage rider. The girl had him from 15 and now for sale due to moving to university. 

He has done all pony club activities doing tetrathlon open regionals and champs. PC110 showjumping. Been selected for U18 eventing finals 100 at Bishop Burton.

He could be a great mother daughter share as a second horse as he is a forward thinking horse who wants to do a job.

Hacks perfectly both alone and in company.

Perfect to shoe, clip, load and travel on both lorry and trailer.

I took him hunting and he was a perfect gentleman standing like a rock and jumping everything very well both as lead horse and tucking in further back in the field.

He’s a fun horse with a lot of character who loves his job and always wants to please.

Open to any vetting although has a bone chip so won’t pass x-ray. Never caused him any issue in the 5 years of ownership always been sound.

Comes with tack and wardrobe.

  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 8 years

  • Experience up to 2*
  • Loves Humans, great to clip, shoe etc.
  • Very brave and clever with his xc fences
He is a true competition horse. He's clever with his feet and brave to his fences. He's very bold and takes you to the fence, he never stops. He has evented in Ireland up to having a couple of runs at 2*. He has plenty of blood mixed with some Irish

Since November 25 he's been in pro-training but was previously produced and ridden by a young amateur from 4yrs old. Without a pro rider/producer his record could be better but he has the experience and his price reflects his results. He has the scope to go on to 4* in time. I feel he needs to consolidate his training at Novice level then move up to 2* next season if you wanted

He loves his humans and comes trotting over when he sees you. He's easy to do in every way and has no lumps, bumps or past vet history.

Price reduced to hopefully find him a home before the season. Open to any inspection. Great trial facilities at Somerford Park Equestrian Centre, Congleton

Wanted experienced grassroots eventer

  • 7-13 years old
  • Circa 15-16 hands
  • Mannerly and keen to do the job

Genuine, mannerly and experienced horse is sought for a 40 year old mum with aspirations of being competitive at grassroots.

I have previously evented to Novice, but not for some years now, and I am keen to be competitive once again.

As horses are at home, I’m not looking for a youngster - I don’t have the nerves or experience to sit on something very green / sharp. In addition, my 12 y/o Daugther is regularly competing my old horse, so life is busy.

Apart from competing, I will also want to do the “mum bit” eg riding out with my Daugther etc so horse must be polite and / or forgiving if I get it wrong! In return, I am a caring owner who would offer a lovely family home.

I’m 5’5 so I don’t need anything big.

I want to be able to go out on my own for regular training / clinics etc - manners on the ground, travelling etc, as well under saddle are key.

Must be good to hack in company / on its own and in big open spaces.

Horse will need to pass a vetting / X-rays.

Excellent and realistic budget for high quality horse.

We have a lovely set up with great facilities and can offer a very caring and dedicated home.

  • You’d Happily put your Grandma on!

Grey gelding, 16hh Irish sports horse, 17yrs old, experienced, clever, talented, amazing friend.

We’ve had Podge for 10 years and in that time he’s taken me through pony club, school team, BE up to novice. Been successful but most of all had fun and enjoyment as he is a solid horse. Loves his work, doesn’t get excited or agitated. Easy to load and travel. With an experienced rider he jumps everything and enjoys a day out. He is calm, gentle, trusting, trustworthy, competent, kind, talented. One in a million.

Likes sj, xc, dressage, flat work, training, hacking, fun rides etc. Good out on his own or with other horses. Used to living half out half in stable, happiest outside with other horses.

Good to shoe. Sensitivity to clipping so we have vet sedation for peace of mind. Well behaved but tenses up with vets.

Early in 2025 he sprained a suspensory ligament in the field. Followed the vet’s recovery program and completed rehab with a professional dressage rider schooling him to build the correct strength and balance. Vet has given him a clean bill of health and is now back jumping again.

We are looking for someone to give Podge a forever home, experienced with horses, a good level of riding experience, kind, loving and calm.

We are very sad to sell him but an architectural career means it’s not possible to give him the home he needs and deserves.

We are looking for £6k ono as there isn’t a horse like Podge and we know he is a very special boy. Whoever buys him will be very lucky and feel honoured to have him as their own.
