King – Big Heart, Huge Potential, Looking for His Forever Person

Nottingham, NG12

King is a much-loved horse who is only available due to no fault of his own. This has been a very difficult decision, but my daughter’s health issues have meant she has been unable to ride, and she no longer has the confidence he truly deserves. Our absolute priority is finding him the right, knowledgeable home.

We purchased King in July 2025 from Smart Performance Horses (Sam Walton) for my daughter. Since then, he has been ridden regularly (around 4 times a week) by a loaner — usually schooling or hacking, weather dependent, especially over winter.
 

About King

King has the biggest heart and forms a strong bond with his rider. He is kind and not malicious in any way, but he does need a confident, reassuring person to bring out his best. He thrives on routine and enjoys having a job — keeping him mentally stimulated really suits him.

He works beautifully in the school, is responsive to leg and voice, and is willing and trainable.

He loves hacking and will go alone or in company. He can be a little more aware when alone, but he continues to improve with consistency. He has previously hunted and enjoys being out and about.

King can be spooky at times, but this is improving steadily with regular work and confident handling.
 

Environment & Handling

He is currently kept on a working farm and is completely used to sheep, farm machinery and general activity.

Good with farrier

Recently seen the dentist and behaved impeccably

Good to clip

Good ground manners, though benefits from confident handling

Loads and has previously transported well (has not travelled since we purchased him)

Happy to live in or out (currently mostly living out)

Bridle and rugs included, but no saddle, he is still growing so currently have one on loan.

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.

10 year old 16.1 gelding for sale. Max is an Irish sports cob who was imported from Ireland 5 years ago to be a mother daughter share, however my daughter is now giving up and he his too good to just be a happy hacker with me.

In the 5 years that we have owned Max he has been to regular clinics, fun rides, camps, hunting, dressage and county shows regularly coming home with rosettes. He hacks out alone and in company, where he is happy to be first or last.

Jumping is one of his favourite things, he will jump anything and gives his rider lots of confidence. He is currently jumping at 80cm but has scope to go bigger.

We regularly refer to Max as a bit of a turbo cob as he enjoys his work and is very much more go than woah therefore not for a novice/nervous rider. He does best when he has a job and would turn his hoof to anything. A pony club/hunting/competition home would be his idea of heaven.

Easy to clip, shoe, load, travel etc.

Will live out 24/7 but will also stable. Has lived with mares and geldings always getting on with everyone.

Max is up to date with his vaccinations, teeth and physio.

£15,000 with full tack and wardrobe. Which would include a Kent &Masters dressage and GP saddle, his bridles and rugs.

Open to vetting and instructors. Plenty of pictures and videos on request.

Broodmare

100% in all traffic, safe and sensible to ride, has not done dressage or jumping with me purely down to lack of transport but would happily do these. Will ride first or last. She will look for confidence from her rider if she is unsure.

Has shown in hand locally and her behaviour is impeccable, she would easily be able to contest the affiliated in hand and ridden classes but sadly as mentioned above we have not been able to peruse these due to lack of transport.

She has clean limbs and correct true to type conformation and would also be an asset to any stud as a broodmare - has had a couple of foals previously and has been a fantastic mum.

100% on the ground to handle, she is more like a oversize dog! Good to bath (not too keen on her legs) shoe, vet, teeth, load etc!

Lucy is only available to the very best of homes as this is not a decision that has been taken lightly and is a heartbreaking sale due to my circumstances, she has been in the same home for 5 years and it took me years to find her.

Please note she is currently in her winter woolies and lives out 24/7.

All homes will be vetted

Nautrup’s Amaze Malou - Striking 8yrs old 15hh traditional blagdon cob

If you are looking for something special “Maisie” is the one for you. Maisie has a big easy stride and is very light on her feet. Plenty of bone and a ‘real look at me presence’ when she enters the ring.

From what we can tell Maisie was broken at 3 in Denmark and then had a foal. Imported after her foal and went to an older lady who we believe hacked her a bit before becoming ill.

Since being with me she has been to 2 shows, which we believe are her first shows ever, and she has come on each time out. Getting good comments from the judges at her showing show and coming 2nd in her second ever dressage test.

Maisie is not suitable for a novice rider as she is forward going and still needs educating due to being still green but a really exciting prospect for the showing season next year.

Good correct conformation and a lovely attitude. For sale due to not being right for current very novice riders.

Maisie is good to hack, shoe, catch etc… currently barefoot and coping well.

She is still learning independence having always been kept in a herd so not yet hacking on her own. I believe she will in the future.
