Gerry is a type hard to come by , a very good stamp with a lovely front , nice paces and good limbs.

He is kind natured , good to bath, brush etc and loves attention . Used to a busy yard where it doesn't phase him.

We feel he is ready for someone to put their own stamp on him and give him a job to do . Gerry would be a lovely ridden cob or equally a nice driving cob .

Serious enquiries only as this has been a hard decision.

Millie

Approx 14.3/15H, 6 years old, old fashioned solid type.

Millie is a delight to have around the yard and is a laid back easy going girlie, that loves fuss and attention, will stand for hours to have a good pamper session, she’s polite and mannerly on the ground and a pleasure to handle on a daily basis.

She’s a bold and brave type naturally, hacks alone and in company including big groups and will go first or last, is a super happy girl whilst out and about exploring. She isn’t the spooky or silly type at all and will always keep you safe. Rock solid with all types of traffic and doesn’t “heat” up in big groups cantering etc, she is happy to stay in walk or trot if the horses you are with canter off ahead.

She has 3 nice paces in the school and is responsive off the leg without being speedy or sharp. Loves doing pole work and pops around a course of jumps. She’s happy to be picked up or put down where the riding is concerned and is no different if ridden everyday or left off for a few weeks.

Millie will suit a variety of riders including the less confident or less experienced, or equally someone that wants to go out and have fun without ever worrying if their horse is going to “cope” with the atmosphere or get excitable because there’s lots of other horses, or be too spooky or silly because life has taken over and they haven’t had chance to ride much, as this just isn’t Millie, she’s the same whether she is at home or away, in a big group or alone, ridden every day or ridden once a week.

No vices, loads and travels well.
Barefoot with fantastic feet
No previous medical history

TRADITIONAL PIEBALD WEIGHT-CARRIER MARE

  • HAPPY HACKER
  • STRONG NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP BACKGROUND
  • HAS WORKED IN EQUINE ASSISTED THERAPY GROUNDWORK
Mouse, aka "Moustaffa" is a kind and gentle heavy weight cob. 13yrs old 16.2 hh weight carrier.

Mouse has a strong natural horsemanship background and has worked on the ground in our equine assisted therapy programme. For a big girl she is very respectful, and, once you are her "people" she will shine.

She is nicely forward going. Hacks out alone or in company and is good in rural traffic. Good to clip, wash etc. Good for dentist, farrier to trim - but has only ever been barefoot.

Rides western or english. Bitted or bitless.

She can occasionally show some mild stringhalt when coming out cold but no lameness issues

She turns out alone or in herd with mares and geldings and is not a dominant mare.

A very reluctant sale, but she needs a more homely home, with a mum (or two) to give her the confidence and consistency she deserves. We have too many people handling her for her to build that special attachment she is looking for.

A really genuine, super mare who loves gentle attention, grooming and pampering.

  • 11 years

  • Well Schooled
  • Safe
  • Fun
Bess has 3 light and balanced paces, she's well schooled and has started her lateral work. She'd suit somebody who wants to work up the levels, as she's so rideable and manoeuvrable. She has jumped around a course up to 1m in height, and has jumped higher with me at home. She loves her cross country and is brave and safe. She's safe and sensible to a fence so would equally suit a more nervous rider who would like to build confidence. She's been used in cross country lessons by novices and has carried them around safely. She's very straight forward in every aspect of ridden work.

She's been kept in a college where she's been used for riding lessons varying from total beginners to advanced. She's been used in BHS stage 1 to stage 3 exams and has recently participated in the Stage 4 coach. She's competed in unaffiliated Dressage, BD and some unaffiliated SJ. She will be going to ODE in August to add to her CV.

Has done:


Beach rides
Fun rides
Hunted
Hacks alone and in company
Unfazed by large crowds
Unaffiliated Dressage and SJ, and BD
Good in traffic
Good to Load, Catch, Handle, clip etc
Good for the farrier, Dentist, Saddler etc

In short, she's the perfect all rounder. She'd be the perfect ladies horse as she's so easy to do everything with. She'd also be the perfect family horse, so would be a good mother/ daughter/ grandmother share. She loves being fussed and just absolutely loves people. She's an incredibly versatile mare, so would easily turn to whatever would be needed from her, but would be best doing a little of everything as she enjoys the variety. She has absolutely zero mareish traits, and has got such a wonderful personality. She's honest, genuine, willing and all the best attributes you could ask from a horse.

She comes with all of her tack, recently fitted. She's got a full wardrobe with her too.

She will only go to the best home. This is an incredibly hard sale as she's become part of the family, so please no time wasters.

Home is more important than price, so price is negotiable.

Please get in touch if more information is required.

Outstanding coloured gelding looking for a summer of fun.

Super cob Joey is a very hard sort to find he is the full package. He’s 15.1hh and a true all rounder beautifully put together . 

Super safe and fantastic in the heaviest of traffic he is 4 years old but with a very old head on his shoulders . 

Joey has been to pony club , local clinics and happy to pop around 70/80cm courses here at home with a super attitude to his work . He flys out cross country but being safe and sensible at the same time . 

He is just the perfect gent ! He has perfect stable manners, great to clip , bath, shoe and loves to be groomed the children have been all over him . He even lets them climb on him when lay down in his box . 

There is not enough words to do this little horse justice he is adored by everyone that meets him . 

He works well on the flat for his age and his suppleness and contact is coming on well . Joey is the perfect mother daughter share or for someone wanting to go and have uncomplicated fun . 

Due to his age I would not say he is suitable for a complete novice even tho he never puts a foot wrong. 

He is open to any vet or trainer he has passed a 5 star vetting and ready for a summer of fun. Lot of photos and videos on request

  • A blank canvas
  • Small but perfectly formed
Arthur is a 3 yr old Irish Draught x by Carrigfada Diamond. He stands 14.2 hh at the moment to make 15hh. He is small but perfectly formed!

He is one that is going to take time mature as Draughts are slow growers - I don’t know how big his dam was so am going by the size of his sire who is 16.2hh so there is definitely growing in him.

Arthur is very sweet natured and easy going. A good moving cob across the ground loose and soft. Loves people wants a fuss.

He has a green book from The Irish Draught Society GB so would be eligible to do the draught classes.

He’s one that I think you’d start to do things with and I’m sure he’d blossom. He’s a blank canvas with which you could put your own stamp.

Would suit small adult or a child he’s a cobby pony at the moment but I know there’s more maturing him in.

If you’re looking for a safe, fun and talented all rounder then meet the gorgeous Ruby! 14.2 8yo blagdon cob mare - a real gem who ticks all the boxes.

She has lovely paces, a super jump and a brilliant brain – she is responsive off your leg but never strong or silly, coming back to you straight away.

Ruby loves her jumping and makes a great shape over a fence – she's bold and careful, with plenty of scope and enthusiasm. She’s been XC schooling and was fantastic – didn’t look at a thing, happily tackled ditches, steps, brushes, and water.

Ruby hacks alone & in company, this is mainly what she has done for the past 6 years in her current home. She has also done a little bit of flat showing at low level shows. She’s excellent to catch, load, shoe, clip etc. She has a kind, genuine temperament, a real pleasure to have on the yard.

The ideal home for Ruby is a Pony Club, Riding Club, or a fun family pony. She would suit a teenager, mother-daughter share, or small adult. She is a weight carrier and takes the leg well. Would also make a cracking hunter.

She loves her work, always tries her best, and is ready to go out and have fun with her new partner. A true all-rounder who turns heads wherever she goes!

Sad sale due to poor health, open to any vetting. She does have a sarcoid on her upper inner thigh however it does not affect her and hasn’t changed, the vets happy it’s left alone & this is reflected in her price!

Ruby is seen on sales livery in Lingfield, Surrey

16.2 13yo Irish draught x Friesian gelding

Tornado is the most fun horse with the biggest personality. He absolutely loves life , loves work and is looking for someone to match his enthusiasm.

Tornado is an incredibly impressive horse , he gets comments everywhere he goes. He's naturally uphill and works beautifully on the flat. He's been to unaffiliated dressage with good scores and promising comments. He's naturally balanced and has cadence in abundance.

He has been to jumping clinics and lessons as well as arena cross country. Tornado loves to jump. He's super brave to a fence - doesn't look at fillers etc. His enthusiasm to a fence is unmatched and he always takes you to the jump , will jump off any stride.

Hacks alone or in company - good in traffic but needs a bit of support passing the big stuff.

Good in open spaces. Loves the beach and LOVES water. I've never met a horse quite like it with his love for water.

Tornado has had an easy life - growing up in the hills of wales and has been in the same low level home since he was 5. Mainly hacking and clinics but in the last year has increased his schooling and jumping and is absolutely thriving.

Tornado is not suitable for a novice, he's a big lad who knows his strength and can get strong , although we only ever ride him in a snaffle and if you stop pulling he stops but he would play on someone's nerves. (A novice could hack him in company)

A great horse to have on the yard - he's a real character and everyone loves him. This isn't at all an easy decision.

Based in Penzance
