  • Jack could turn his hoof to almost anything
  • He absolutely adores people and thrives on attention

Jack is a beautiful stamp standing at 15.3hh with a lovely, sweet nature. He absolutely adores people and thrives on attention and a good fuss.

Jack schools sweetly in a snaffle, knows all of his basics, lovely balanced canter and has a very trainable brain. He would be a great candidate for someone wanting to bring out their inner dressage diva and enjoy producing a lovely horse on the flat.

He also loves getting out and about, long forest rides, relaxed mooches, scenic canters, and popping logs or ledges along the way are all right up his street. To top it off, he never says no to a splash in the river at the end of a ride.

Jack hacks happily both alone and in company and is polite in traffic. On the ground he is an absolute sweetheart who enjoys affection and a good groom. He is exceptionally kind with other horses and always wants to be everyone’s best friend. He has grown particularly fond of Billy the donkey and, during bad weather, has even shared his stable and hay pile overnight with him, a perfect example of his kind and easy-going nature.

Jack could turn his hoof to almost anything and would happily excel in a variety of homes, whether that be happy hacking, dressage, Le Trec, or similar activities.

Due to Jack’s age, he would be best suited to a rider who is established in all three paces.

  • Ideal for a for a confident teen or mother/daughter share wanting clinics, shows, and adventure
  • Good to clip, shoe, loads, hacks alone or in company, snaffle mouthed, and vice free
Tilly is a fun, forward allrounder who has been an absolute pleasure to have on schooling livery. She’s an enjoyable ride and really tries for you on the school. She loves her hacking and jumping, easily jumping round an 80cm course. With her owners she has done a lot of off road hacking, and with me she has proven unbothered by traffic, hacking out alone and in company. To jump and hack she is a forward but safe ride.

She thrives on a consistent routine and a one-to-one partnership, and would be a brilliant match for a confident teenager wanting to get out to clinics and shows, or a mother/daughter share looking for a fun, versatile mare. She is not suitable for a novice home, as she can take advantage of an unsure handler and become a little pushy.

Owned by Mid Sussex RDA, Tilly has shown she isn’t suited to an RDA environment as she can occasionally throw a buck. This happens rarely and is never nasty.

Tilly is good to clip (video availible), shoe, load, and hack alone or in company. Snaffle-mouthed, up to date with vaccinations and worming, and vice free.

For sale on behalf of her owners.

  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 11 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Professionally broken for riding and to harness
  • Steady and sensible temperament
  • Correct, compact Suffolk type suitable for showing or agricultural turnout
Boris is an exceptionally kind, steady and gentle gelding with a genuine, calm temperament. He has been professionally broken to both ride and drive and is a straightforward, mannerly horse to handle and be around. He has not been in regular work recently due to lack of time and would benefit from a gradual return to work.

He lives on a working farm and is accustomed to heavy machinery, daily activity and turnout alongside a busy road. Boris has excellent manners on the ground, is easy to catch and handle, and is calm and cooperative for the vet and farrier (currently barefoot).

He has clean limbs, correct conformation and is true to Suffolk Punch type. Boris would suit a variety of roles including ridden work, harness work or a knowledgeable home looking for a dependable heavy horse partner.

Up to date with worming, vaccinations and teeth. Happy living out or stabled and mixes well with other horses.

Boris is closely bonded with Bunny (also advertised). Ideally we would like them to remain together as they are well matched in temperament and companionship. A combined price of £11,000 would be considered for the pair.

This decision has been made with careful consideration - Boris has been in the same home since being a foal and is a much-valued member of the farm.

Best suited to an experienced home familiar with heavy horses and with appropriate facilities and grazing. Homes will be carefully considered.

Currently living out 24/7 un-rugged in winter condition.

Saddle, bridle, harness, plough gear and horse plough available by separate negotiation.

Cornwall, South West.

Oreo, a striking 5-year-old cob gelding standing at 16hh. Oreo is a truly eye-catching horse with beautiful, balanced conformation and an exceptionally pretty presence. His gorgeous white tail gives him a unique look that turns heads everywhere he goes — he’s one of those horses that always gets noticed for his good looks and charm. With his smart markings and lovely build, Oreo is the perfect example of a well-put-together cob, combining strength, balance, and quality in one impressive package.

Oreo has a wonderful temperament and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He is kind, good-natured, and always willing to please, making him an ideal partner for riders of different levels. Here, he is regularly ridden by novice students and takes everything in his stride, showing patience and a sensible outlook that makes him very easy to trust. He works in a snaffle, is light in the hand, and goes sweetly off the leg, giving his rider a comfortable and confidence-building ride every time.

He’s lovely to hack, whether alone or in company, and is excellent in traffic. He’s well used to all kinds of farm machinery and country life, making him a brilliant choice for someone who enjoys relaxed rides through lanes, fields, or open countryside. Oreo is also a lovely, straightforward horse to take hunting — he’s sensible in open spaces, polite in a group, and enjoys getting on with the job.

Oreo has been schooled on the flat, over show jumps, and across cross-country fences. He’s honest and brave to a fence, has a good natural rhythm, and is already confidently jumps up to 90cm here. With his three balanced, comfortable paces and his enthusiastic, can-do attitude, he shows great potential for any all-round job. He’s the type of cob who will happily turn his hoof to a bit of everything — from hacking and hunting to riding club and fun days out.

He is easy to handle in every way — good to shoe, box, catch, ride, and in traffic. Oreo has no stable vices and is open to any vetting. His calm and adaptable temperament means he would suit a wide variety of homes: he would make a fantastic mother–daughter share, a brilliant addition to a riding school, or a trustworthy and fun happy hacker for someone wanting an easy, enjoyable companion.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely happy with him.
Scroll down to view his video and see what a lovely, genuine horse he is. For more information, please don’t hesitate to call me anytime on 00353 868077626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com.

Oreo is the complete package — handsome, kind, and honest — a beautifully put-together cob who will make someone a truly wonderful all-round partner.

Fabulous Fred - Smart, solid and full of quality, this stunning 15.1h 6-year-old maxi cob gelding is an absolute head-turner with excellent bone, feather and a kind, expressive face.

He has a lovely, genuine temperament and is a pleasure to handle in every way. Easy to catch, shoe, box and clip. Good to do both on the yard and out and about.

Riding nicely on the flat with three balanced, comfortable flashy paces. He has the scope and attitude to turn his hoof to a variety of disciplines, making him an ideal all-rounder or fun family horse. He would excel in the show ring, in my opinion has the potential to be a HOYS / top end show cob! Equally he’s a fabulous riding club activities or as a quality leisure horse as well.

Clean-limbed, open to vetting, and ready to find a loving home.

Fred has done loads of unaffiliated showing and is always a big hit with the judges, he’s also competed dressage and unaffiliated showjumping and has been super successful at these too.

Hacking he is better in company as he’s a little nervous of big traffic coming up behind him which is the only reason for sale as current own just wants to hack

Incredibly Sad sale, He’s been in the same home since he was 6 months old

A genuine, quality show cob who is a pleasure to have around. 10* home is a must for fabulous Fred

Tack and rugs included

  • Is hacked/cantered/schooled by his 70 year old owner in a snaffle

For sale on behalf of his owner. 15.1 hands L/W black Irish cob with four white socks and face.

8 years old, owned since 4 year old. Lovely laid back temperament but forward-going so not a novice/first horse. Very well schooled, has 37 BD points, easily working at Elementary with scope to go further. Collects, extends and lateral work established. Won nearly every dressage test he has contested. Highest score 72%. Ready to compete. Lovely paces and really moves from his shoulder.

Is hacked/cantered/schooled by his 70 year old owner in a snaffle, on his own or in company, in big open spaces. Good to shoe, catch, travel, clip and used to big farm machinery. Up-to-date with teeth and vacs. Easy to handle. Passed a 5 stage vetting when I bought him.

Has not shown but would do so easily as impeccably behaved in the warm up at busy shows. He enjoys polework but hasn’t jumped as I don’t. Needs a varied life not just arena work. A real character who does not buck, rear, whip round etc. May occasionally spook if genuinely scared.

Very sad sale due to mature lady owner’s spinal surgery and the long recuperation required.

A knowledgeable, permanent 10* home required as whoever buys him will be very happy indeed! Price includes his dressage saddle, bridle and his rugs as owner giving up. Vets and accredited trainers welcome.

Herts/Essex borders, 10 min from Jct 7 Stansted Airport
