  • Straightforward honest lad.

12 year old dun gelding, cob x Connemara. Fantastic all rounder, would suit a confident teenager or mother/daughter share. (He is just now). Daughter is at university and wishes to travel. I’ve given it my best shot & had regular lessons on him but feel he is wasted with me as I have no interest in jumping and also work full time so don’t give him the attention he deserves.

He is a lovely boy who has so much potential. He has previously competed at local shows and was always in the ribbons.

He can be a cheeky cob and therefore not a novice ride. He is safe but can be excitable at times and buzzy when jumping. Very honest boy who always steps up with whatever is asked of him.

Hacks alone or in company. Has previously done Trec, show jumping, beach rides and had several trips to the gallops.

Good to shoe, catch, clip, in traffic and for dentist.

Everything up to date & vet booked for vaccinations as due this month.

Tack available separately and includes his fitted Fairfax diamante bridle, fitted bit and fitted Harrington saddle.

A bit about us: I love hacking in the local forest, jumping the odd log. I’d love to give beach rides a go!

Daughter (14) has regular schooling / jumping lessons and onsite XC every so often. Will likely want to go out and about to local shows and PC clinics.

Son (11) is walk/trot/canter/poles so something he can size up to in the future. Would like to be chief groom though!

So, if you need to find a loving home for your horse or pony that enjoys being pampered, is sound for jumping and enjoys hacking out on their own and in group (and is used to seeing all types of traffic, ideally not fazed by bikes and deer amongst other things!) we would love to hear from you.

To live out but stable available 24/7 if needed. Livery place waiting at experienced yard in West Sussex.

  • 9 years
  • 18.2 hands
  • Ridden and handled by children
  • Safe and sensible
  • Good ground manners

It’s with a heavy heart that I offer Skeldon Moor Jasper for sale. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of owning this special boy his entire life, having brought him home as an 8-month-old foal. He’s grown into the kindest, most genuine horse you could wish to meet.

Jasper is a true gentle giant – kind, patient, and full of character. He lives out 24/7, is a good doer, and generally an easy keeper. Broken to ride later in life, he’s had a relaxed upbringing and now enjoys a steady pace. He’s still green in the school, but shines as a happy hacker – confident alone or in company.

  • Ridden and handled by children
  • Safe and sensible, though strong due to his size – not suitable for complete novices
  • Good ground manners, stands perfectly to be groomed and fussed over
  • Bombproof in traffic, though he may spook at rattling noises behind him (e.g. trailers)
  • Needs shoeing every 8 weeks for road work – managed barefoot on soft ground when not in regular work
  • Loading requires patience – he loads with training but we don’t currently have a lorry on the yard to maintain the practice

Jasper is a confidence giver, a steady companion, and a much-loved member of the family. Finding him the perfect 5* home is my top priority – he deserves nothing less.

Located in Swanmore, Hampshire

Serious enquiries only, please – this is a very special boy

Pricilla is a lovely 15.2 aprox, 7yo homebred coloured cob mare. Shes super sweet to ride, hacks alone and in company and is fabulous in traffic. She is great in open spaces, happily canters through the fields and doesn’t get silly or strong.

Pricilla has done loads of hacking, she’s done some arena work and walks trots canters around the arena very well, hasn’t been asked to work in a outline but no reason new owner can’t teach her. Shes very trainable and willing. She loves her jumping and jumps anything you put in front of her. She makes a nice shape and is easy to and from a fence.

Pricilla would suit someone that wants to enjoy hacking, fun rides, low level riding club activities, and she would suit most people. However we don’t want to see her to a complete novice or nervous person as I do believe she will take the Micky if doesn’t get given clear boundaries like every horse needs.

She is good as gold to shoe, box, travel, catch etc and is so easy to deal with in and out the stable. Everyone on the yard rides her and she’s very uncomplicated. Not the type that needs to be ridden every day and happily lives in or out. She is with us on sales livery, full history is known as she is a homebred. No vices

Based in old sodbury

He is snaffle mouthed and we don’t find him strong. He is barefoot with great feet. Good with the farrier, good to catch, load, travel, handle etc. Happily stands tied up in the yard with no fussing.

Up to date with teeth, feet, jabs, worming and osteopath.

He has some scars on his hind legs from a very old injury which do not affect him at all.

We would love him to go to a loving home with someone who enjoys lots of hacking. There’s no reason he couldn’t also do low level schooling/jumping and he has done this in previous homes, but this isn’t something we have done with him ourselves.

He would not suit a nervous rider.

He is sold with his tack.
