Barney is a stunning example of an Irish cob, he has the most beautiful movement, very straight moving and a stunning conformation.

He is a 4yr old UNBROKEN gelding, he's super flashy.
Standing at 15hh and will make 15.1 once he has finished up growing.
Barney is currently in work a few times a week lunging & long reining, he is working nicely in a bridle also.

He has so much quality about him, masses of bone but this doesn't alter his straightness in his paces.

Excellent to box, farrier etc

No Vices No Lumps or Bumps - happy

He is a really smart blank canvas to be turned out in a group or alone.

For further info please do get in touch.

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.

Would love to find my boy Walton Blue Eyed Boy his forever home

Blue is a very handsome bright bay registered Shire gelding. He will be 6 this year and is a big boy currently measuring at 18.3hh. He is very striking with lots of feather and unique blue eyes.

Blue is good to catch, shoe, clip, travels in a lorry and trailer. Will hack alone and in company. Is not bothered by traffic and being bought up on a farm is used to farm animals, large machinery and dogs.

He has been shown very successfully in hand and last year started under saddle. We've even done some BD.

Due to his size we've taken things slowly. He's done a little bit of everything but wouldn't be suitable for a novice. He is still green and needs more milage. He may be massive but he's a sensitive chap and takes his confidence from his handler/rider.

This is an incredibly hard decision. We have owned Blue from 6 months old but due to my daughter now competing more I just do not have the time he deserves. Would love for him to find a person to give him the one to one and love he deserves.
Home is the most important thing.

Please bear in mind, he really is 18.3hh, he will need a big stable. He is nearly a tonne of horse and he isn't going to go like a thoroughbred or Arab. He is bred to pull.
Any questions please just ask. Have numerous photos and videos.

  • The perfect home for Smurf is a happy hacking, low level all rounder home
He has the sweetest, most gentle temperament and is looking for his new human to give him lots of cuddles and fuss!

He is newly broken after being started late last year so is still green under saddle. He has been with us for a few weeks schooling now and has come on leaps and bounds in the school, is now walk, trot, cantering and popping a small fence. Smurf has also hacked out alone and in company where he has seen traffic.

The perfect home for Smurf is a happy hacking, low level all rounder home. He isn’t the finished article and still needs his education continued but is very willing and genuine.

Smurf is good to handle on the ground, groom and wash, happy living in or out. Up to date with his vaccinations. He does a thorough pin on his hock which is purely cosmetic & does not affect him in any way & is reflected in his price. You can’t notice it under the hair & has never caused a problem.

  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter

Bilbo is well known to us as we sold him as a four year old to his current owner. She has done a bit of everything with him and sent him back to us 14 months ago to find a new home, when push came to shove she couldn’t bare to part with him and she took him home again, shortly after this finding out she was pregnant and so he has been on loan to a local equine college for the past year. Bilbo has decided that college life is not for him and he would like a more varied workload and so has returned to us as his owners family keeps growing and she’s now not in a position to have him home.

Although he has worked in the college riding school he has learnt to get a little cheeky with the novices. Since being with us and being properly ridden again he hasn’t put a hoof wrong. Bilbo has been nicely schooled and works very well on the flat, he’s done some unaffiliated dressage and would enjoy continuing this. He will happily jump round a course of 70/80cm currently, isn’t bothered by fillers, water trays etc. and is brave and genuine. He has had limited XC outings but again is brave and gives a good feeling over a fence. He’s a solid chap and obviously not bred to show jump but gives everything a go and is good fun. I would say a competent novice who wants to do a bit of everything would be ideal for him, hes not sharp or silly but has a brain and found riding school work very boring.

Bilbo loves his hacking both alone and in company, he’s good in open spaces and good in traffic. He needs to find a rider who will give him variety in his work as the more he does the sweeter he is. He hunted in his youth with us and loved it and would love to get out again

Bilbo is very easy in and out the stable, good to box, catch, shoe, clip etc. and happy to live in or out. He’s a nice person to have in on the yard.

Charismatic rising 5 year old, 17hh Shire Mare for Sale. Frances is a true example of a Shire Horse, she is dark bay with 4 white socks, plenty of feather and a white strip.

She combines power, elegance and a willingness to work. She is a straight mover and has an impressive walk, trot and canter.

Frances is a responsive and forward going ride, definitely not a kick along and would suit a confident experienced rider to further her education.

I have no doubt she will excel in any sphere, she would look brilliant in the hunting field, dressage arena, show ring or even out eventing.

Frances is excellent to hack both alone and in company, she has seen lots of traffic and is always well behaved. She has been on forestry rides, jumped ditches and is a pleasure to take anywhere!

To handle, Frances is a gentle giant. She has been to arena hires and is good to load and she will stand on the trailer whilst another horse is being ridden.

Frances would be an asset to any yard!

Owner has sold their small holding which forces sale.
