Lily – Beautiful 5-Year-Old Skewbald Irish Cob Mare, 15.2hh – Safe, Sweet & Super Versatile

Meet Lily – a truly lovely 5-year-old traditional skewbald Irish Cob mare, standing at a solid and well-balanced 15.2hh. This gorgeous girl is a genuine all-rounder with a heart full of kindness and a temperament to match. She is quiet, sensible, and incredibly easy in every way, making her an ideal choice for novice riders, families, or anyone looking for a reliable, fun, and honest riding horse.

Lily is the sort of horse who makes you feel at ease the moment you meet her. She’s a real people-pleaser – affectionate, willing, and always looking to do her best. Whether in the stable or under saddle, Lily is calm, polite, and a joy to work with. She’s easy to catch, box, shoe, clip, and groom, and she has absolutely no stable vices. A true lady in every sense.

Under saddle, Lily is forward going in the nicest way – responsive and eager, yet never sharp or silly. She rides beautifully on the flat and has been lightly schooled with lovely natural balance and rhythm. She’s also showing great promise over fences, currently jumping up to 80cm with honesty and enthusiasm. She’s straight and willing to a fence, making her a perfect choice for someone looking to do a bit of everything – from hacking and fun rides to low-level jumping and schooling.

When it comes to hacking, Lily is absolutely exceptional. She will hack out happily alone or in company and is rock solid in all types of traffic – from tractors to lorries, she takes it all in her stride. Whether it’s a quiet country lane or a busy road, she’s relaxed, safe, and unflappable. She has been out on group rides and trekking routes, always behaving like the true professional she is.

She’s the perfect family horse – safe enough for a novice to gain confidence on, yet with enough talent and personality to be enjoyed by more experienced riders. Horses like Lily don’t come around often – she’s as close to a unicorn as you’ll find.

Transport to the UK is included in the price, and if for any reason you’re not completely satisfied, we offer exchange options for peace of mind.

For more information, please don’t hesitate to call 00353 86 807 7626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com.

Lily is ready and waiting to become someone’s best friend – don’t miss your chance to bring this special mare home.

Phillip is a nicely bred 4-year-old gelding is half Irish Cob, half Irish Draught giving him the best attitude and loving out look on life, standing at 15.2hh with striking blue and white colouring. Bought unbroken as a 3-year-old and brought on slowly and correctly over the past 9 months, he is now backed, riding away confidently, and ready to progress in any chosen direction.

He is the definition of “4 yr going on 14 years” – incredibly sensible, level-headed, and mature beyond his years. He works in a snaffle and is schooling well for his age, with three balanced paces and a willing attitude. He has recently started jumping and is proving bold, confident, and easy to a fence.

He would give any rider confidence, making him an ideal partner for someone wanting a straightforward, genuine young horse.

He hacks out happily both alone and in company and is excellent in traffic. He has never bucked, reared, or napped. On the ground he is a complete gentleman – easy to catch, trim, and handle in every way. He loads and travels like an old pro and stands quietly on the lorry. Totally vice-free and a real pleasure to have on the yard, with a sweet nature and love for attention.

This is a kind, easy, and uncomplicated horse with a fantastic temperament and the foundation to go on and succeed in any sphere. Open to any vet.

Iona Diamond or Charlie has been owned by me since he was 6yrs old. He was broken as a 5yr old and hunted a season with the Kildares.

He has done RDS Performance Hunter qualifiers, Side saddle qualifiers, oneday events, Dressage, Working Hunter show Hunter and Middle weight Hunter in RDS '24.

He is such a lovely horse to ride ,his trot is bold and expressive and his canter is equally expressive. He has been on livery in a very busy yard and used to hacking out in large groups and alone. He never takes a pull but can he cover the ground beautifully.

At home he is easy to do, gets on with everyone and loves his job. He is very good in the field ,he has never caused any trouble with the other horses and He will pass a huge lorry and have a spook at a paperbag. He needs a competent rider that will enjoy helping him achieve his potential.

Charlie is my dream horse and unfortunately and sadly for sale due to my ongoing health issues. He has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

This lovely type has hunted two seasons with a variety of packs, including bloodhounds, drag, and trail hunting. Exceptionally polite in the field—stands at the meet, queues sensibly at a fence, and is happy to lead or follow.

Absolutely safe with hounds and does not kick.

Brave and capable across all country—hedges, ditches, timber, rails. She loves her job and gives a confident ride. Well-suited to someone wanting a reliable hunter with no drama.

Has also been out competing in local hunter trials, consistently placed, and enjoys cross-country. Schooled around clear round courses up to 80cm at Felbridge and Coombelands. She jumps fillers, trays, and water without hesitation.

Basic flatwork established—rideable and willing, though not heavily schooled due to her hunting focus.

Excellent to hack alone or in company, including in heavy traffic and open spaces. Very easy to do in all ways—clip, shoe, box, catch, etc. No vices.

Minor cosmetic cracks in her front feet (summer ’24) which are growing out well and managed with regular shoeing—she remains completely sound.

A genuine, kind mare looking for a hunting or all-round home. Serious enquiries only.

Maggie is a super stamp of a 15hh Irish cob, 8yo grey mare.

Came over from Ireland as a just backed 6yo, she had previously had a foal. Since being over here she has improved her schooling, attended some unaffiliated dressage competitions, always gaining placings.

Maggie has also been in hand showing at some bigger shows such as Tendering, as well as doing plenty of hacking, being very good in traffic, both alone and in company.

She is very willing and has popped small logs out hacking and will also happily trot over a small fence in the school. Kind mare looking for a new loving home where she will give somebody else endless fun. Very sad sale due to owner giving up.

Maggie is very easy to do, good to shoe, catch, clip, load/travel etc. No vices. She does make a noise in her wind, this does not affect her for hacking and low level competitions but is reflected in her price.

  • A big unit standing 16.2hh and built like a tank
  • Along side this he is a gentle man.
He has started his groundwork education but not yet been ridden so ready for you to put your own stamp on him.

He is generally not bothered by most things, he has been led past farm machinery without being bothered by them. He does like to chase a tractor that comes into his field too.

He can be green and look at new things occasionally but if given a moment to work it out he’s then fine. He thrives with being told he’s a good boy!

He lunges well in full tack.

He is good to catch (walking in his field without him attached to your hip is more of a challenge)!

He is good for the farrier (currently barefoot so unknown for shoeing).

He is good to load and travel.

Lives in or out.

Only for sale as I don’t have the time to give him that he deserves, and owe it to him to let him reach his full potential.

Would love to receive the odd update on how he is getting on and what he’s up to if able to do so.

Great family or RS type as he is up to weight but still active enough to go on and compete and could be used by several members of the family. Apollo has had a very good home in Ireland and he has nice flat work and he has been to some little Dressage shows and he is also a very good jumper.

He has been to some unregistered jumping shows and he has also done some XC schooling days proving to be easy and brave and will go in and out of water, jump logs, rails, ditches etc. He is calm and sensible out in big open spaces and does not get strong or hot-headed.

This chap is fantastic to hack out and will happily go alone or in a group, and he is not fazed by the heaviest of road or farm traffic. Despite his age Apollo is the one that we regularly use as escort and babysitter for the less confident horses!

Apollo really loves attention and is happy to stand and be pampered and groomed for hours. He is excellent to turn out with other horses and can be caught easily, he will lead in quietly and tie up anywhere that suits you! He is also very good to load in both a lorry or trailer, sensible with the farrier and is very quiet to clip!

A really super old fashioned type that has a great personality - always happy to do his best and is only looking to please and to be loved.

Fantastic Allrounder - 15hh, 9-Year-Old Stunning Cob X Gelding

Benson — an absolute stunner with a beautifully balanced conformation and a kind, genuine nature. He’s a super smart, eye-catching horse both inside and out, a versatile partner for a variety of pursuits.

Benson is a fun, honest, and sensible allrounder who truly loves to work. Not a kick-along plod, but forward-thinking and eager to please, he’s currently excelling in Pony Club activities and clinics alongside a relatively inexperienced 14-year-old rider giving her endless confidence and big smiles . His willing attitude and good temperament make him ideal for a rider looking to develop confidence and skill.

Absolutely fantastic jump, effortlessly popping around XC tracks at 90cm and happily skipping over 1m showjumping courses — with plenty of scope for more. He’s honest, reliable, and straightforward to ride in a snaffle, whether in the school or out hacking in open spaces always in a snaffle.

Benson has competed in unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, hunter trials, pony days, and camps. He has also worked in a riding school environment. While he’s a sturdy, sweet-natured type with athletic ability, he may be better suited to a slightly more experienced rider rather than a complete novice from the riding school as he works off the leg and has more engine than a true beginner would want, although he never does any thing nasty in any way.

He’s a pleasure to hack — unfazed by farm machinery, traffic, barking dogs, not spooky . No vices, and he’s up to date with vaccines and dentist.

Price: £8,500
