Very sad sale but I have to be realistic with numbers and I need to cut back

  • Sadly looking for a new home due to owner giving up horses.
  • 15.2 HW Cob gelding, 9 years old.

Up to date with teeth & vaccinations. Has regular routine Osteo, physio, saddle fitting etc

Good to catch, bath, clip (twitch for legs and ears), load, travel etc

We've had Bugsy for 3 years where he has mostly hacked and hunted. He was bought for a petite lady Master to enjoy social days out hunting, and he does exactly that. He's a pleasure; goes in a snaffle, front middle or back. Keeps up but with a level head. Great with hounds. We've not jumped him (no need) and although not a thrusters horse, will get over a log etc in the way, if needed. Perfect through/over ditches.

Very sensible out hacking. We're based just off a busy High Street and he regularly rides through the town, completely unfazed by traffic. Rides under/over motorway bridges. Prefers to go in company, but will go alone with a confident rider. He is not silly in anyway, just not the bold, brave type that'll take you. We have no problems and he does regularly go on his own.

This summer, I decided to have a go at showing him, where he far exceeded expectations. Although unaffiliated, he went Super Supreme at the Sunshine Tour Championship (Hickstead) and had fantastic comments from all the judges and stewards, including one who judges cobs professionally. I expect he would do very well with someone keen on the showing circuits.

Has been to some unaffiliated dressage, coming home with scores of 70%+ at both Intro and Prelim level. Sure to climb the ladder with more work.

Loads and travels on trailer or lorry. Very easy to have out and about on your own. Will stand on the box waiting all day if needed.

He's generally a cheeky chappy, that's fun to have around. He is pretty easy to do in all ways, although I couldn't say what he would be like for a novice, as he's only ever been ridden and handled by experienced people. We will be sad to see him go.

Has been out to a few hound exercises and Autumn hunting through September, so fit and ready to go. No major rush to sell, so we will keep him going and find the absolute perfect home for him.

He does mildly suffer with Mallenders & Sallenders and CPL (like A LOT of cobs these days!). We easily manage it with a correct diet, plenty of movement, and regular clipping. If this is a major problem for you, please do not waste my time.

Based in Newport Pagnell, Bucks

Tack & rugs potentially available by negotiation

Please PM or call 07969 875803 for more details. I am generally very busy so please leave a message or WhatsApp and I will get back to you.

  • Irish Draught

  • Gelding

  • Backed & turned away
  • Will make a fantastic allrounder
  • Experienced loving home of utmost importance

Full Irish Draught Standing at approx 16.2 hh, 5 years. Breeding - by Devils Punchbowl (Crannagh Hero) out of a Westmeathe Lad Dam.

Red has been professionally backed and bought on slowly, trained using natural horsemanship methods. Time and care has been taken to give him the best possible start in his ridden life.

I am looking to see if I can find a kind, experienced home for him, selling him from the field, if not he will go to a reputable sales livery where his price will increase. Previous experience of dealing with large green horses is essential. He is a fabulous horse but is very green and not the bravest. That said he is such a quick learner and once he is familiar with things he is Mr Chill.
Groundwork: Red has done lots of natural horsemanship groundwork, flag training and been walked out in hand both alone and in company. He has started some in hand lateral work. He has been introduced to traffic and needs to continuewith this. He enjoys his groundwork and is the type of horse you can build a strong connection with and he will do anything for you.

Ridden: Red can walk, trot and canter in the arena and is calm doing this also in an open grass field. He has done plenty of pole work including some raised poles. He has started some lateral work under saddle. He has hacked out a few timesunder saddle across quiet bridleways to build his confidence. He isn’t the type that needs riding every day – far from it. You can very much pick up and put him down. He is snaffle mouthed at all times. He is so easy to tack up it is like tacking up grandmas horse!

Lifestyle: Red will happily live in and out. Like most horses his preference is to be out but he isn’t the type to get silly. As long as he has food he is happy. He is a hardy Irish type and lives on fresh air! He doesn’t need masses of rugging and is really low maintenance. He is great in all weathers.

Handling: Red is easy to handle, easy to worm, good for farrier, easy to tack up etc. He always comes up to you in the field. He will turn out on his own, with geldings and with mares. He is a friendly inquisitive young horse. He loves a groom and a pamper and he absolutely loves a hose down/ bath! I haven’t ever clipped him. He is a quiet horse to have on the yard.

Travelling: I bought Red direct from Ireland and when first arrived over he was very nervous to travel. We have done lots of practice and he loads like a pro but I do just give me a touch of sedalin to travel to keep building the positive experiences for him. Without the sedalin he just takes about half an hour to settle but simply paws and whinnies. He travels in a 3.5 box without the partition. He travels very well on his own with a haynet. He hasn’t ever been in a trailer.

Feet: He has good feet and I have kept him barefoot. He has some hoof boots for his fronts if you have particularly stoney ground / gravel then I put these on.
Vet: Red is up to date with vaccinations, worming, dentist and is a good doer. The only time I’ve had the vet (other than vaccs) is to treat some sarcoids that came up after he arrived from Ireland as a 3 year old. He had two small sarcoids on the underside of his tummy, they didn’t rub or interfere with anything but I decided to have them lasered so they were gone. No further problems or issues since.

Personality: Red is a typical inquisitive young Irish Draught with a gentle personality. He will thrive in a one to one home, bonding with his new person. Everyone who meets him loves him and he will be leaving behind quite a fan club. Generally he is very calm but of course he has his young horse moments and I want to be confident that his new person can handle these.

Type of Home: I am looking for a kind, knowledgeable new owner for Red who has experience of bringing on a young horse. He needs someone confident but not fierce – ideally someone who also has some horsemanship experience. The basics are there and now he needs to get out and see the world. He would be happy being a happy hacker, family horse or riding club type. He likes company but he’s not a clingytype. I am not too proud to admit that my health issues have caused me to loose confidence with horses and I am not able to give a young horse the reassurance and guidance they need. It would bring me so much joy to see Red thriving and loved in a knowledgeable home. I would love to keep in contact as he is very special to me.

As mentioned, as it stands I am selling him from the field so please don’t expect to come and ride him. Of course you are more than welcome to come and meet and spend time with him. For this reason I may be open to LWVTB depending on circumstances. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions no matter how small I am happy to answer.


Ruby, Welsh D, Beautiful mare.

  • Moves beautifully
  • Loves jumping

Meet Ruby. A 13yr old 15.2h Welsh D. The least Marish mare you can get, up to date with vaccinations, farrier, dentist, worming, chiropractor and physio and will stand perfectly to be clipped etc. Ruby is currently living out with 3 mares but has shared fields with geldings and even been in a paddock by herself and really isn’t bothered. You’ll normally find her happily off by herself whoever she shares the field with. She will happily stable at night with no vices. She is perfect to handle, load and travel and has been in a variety of trailers and lorry’s with no problems. She can sometimes play games to be caught, so I keep a field safe head collar on her and haven’t had a problem.

Ruby is a typical section D in that she can be spooky and sharp, she takes her confidence from her owner. She needs an owner who is confident but gentle and sympathetic to her spookiness. She’s never kicked, bucked or reared etc. She’s brilliant to hack in company and is regularly hacked by herself - she loves new routes and never naps or creates if she thinks you should be going a certain way. She isn’t fazed by any traffic, a tractor towing a combine harvester flanked by motorbikes - no problems but will jump a mile at a pheasant in a hedgerow!! She loves jumping and is super quick and careful with her feet. Never touches a pole and super speedy for jump offs. She moves beautifully in the school and is really responsive. We’ve been to some local dressage and jumping shows and she’s scored well every time. I think she would really excel in the showing world too if that’s your thing. We have done stay away camps, day clinics, fun rides and she’s always been a pleasure to take.

Ruby is primarily ridden by my 14yr old daughter and a friend rides her most weeks too. As long as you are relaxed and confident to hold her hand when she’s not sure, she will do anything for you. As much as she is very loved and was a dream horse for us, unfortunately we just don’t have the time for her anymore. My daughter has lost interest and Ruby is too young and “good” to have as a field pet so this is a really reluctant sale, for this reason I am selling everything horsey and she is sold with her saddle/bridle and rugs.

I work full time and really don’t have the time for joy riders so please only enquire if you are genuinely interested in offering Ruby a 5*. She’s an absolutely beautiful mare and deserves to have the best home.

Boherlody badger (Badger) is a cracking 4 yo 15,1 cob with 7 Inches of bone.

Badger has been nothing but a joy to produce, he has done a little of everything, SJ, XC (including drains) and done a few half days hunting with the Tipperarys including the Opening meet, where he stood like a lamb, very mannerly with other horses and jumped everything put in front of him, Including walls, drains etc, and was happy after his time to come away from the group to head home alone all while being ridden by a child.

He has good basic flat work, hes easy off the leg, but obviously being 4 still has a little more work to be fully 'polished' but had a good start with a pro rider.

Badger is exceptionally quiet to ride never spooky, very happy to go out in company or alone, ride in the field hes never nappy, and certainly wouldn’t throw a buck or a rear.

He was excellent to clip and load, stood for the farrier........

I can not recommend this fella enough to a mother/daughter, show home, hunting he's very versatile and would suit all home types including a nervous rider.

He is a 1 in a million and a sad sale but i have a genuine reason to sell this fabulous boy, and happy to be contacted to discuss more.

DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

Ref #: 249896
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below

One of the main issues that RDA groups face is finding an Equine to suit the needs of the participants in their group.

We are regularly contacted with offers of Equines that are ‘the ideal RDA horse or pony’ when actually what is ideal for one group may not be for the next. We are trying to move away from the stereotypical view that RDA Equines are elderly and somewhat static, our horses and ponies need to be fit, healthy and athletic to cope with the lifestyle in an RDA group.

They can range from smaller, forward going ponies to weight carrying cobs and can take part in a range of disciplines from Riding to Carriage Driving, Vaulting to Show Jumping and Endurance.

If you contact an RDA Group about your Equine please be prepared to fill in an Equine Initial Interest Form which will ask you many questions about your horses’ temperament, health history, experience and lifestyle. Many groups will prefer to have an equine on trial to make sure they are suitable for the job.

For long term loans and purchases they will also be required to have a Pre-Purchase Examination.

If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below.

Now heres a type very hard to find, a mare with a heart of gold & a genuine straightforward ride that only aims to please! Real old fashioned type, lovely big square front like a traditional working hunter! Super length of neck, enough bone to be a weight carrier but still quality with enough blood. Her heart definitely matches her size, quickly becoming the yard favourite!

In a short space of time she has given us a lot of fun, hunting with the Surrey union at their recent opening meet where she jumped some huge hedges and flew over rails, ditches etc! Her flat work is really coming on and already established her flying changes and riding in a beautiful soft shape with very correct and expressive paces so she certainly wouldn’t look out of place in the dressage or showing arena!

She is jumping confidently round courses of 1metre at home, never spooky or looks at fillers and always wants to get the other side in one piece, happy to help her riders out on bad strides and never over jumps always economical in her shape.

Cross country she was super and jumped some of the advanced fences down at Hickstead, flew through the water complex and tackled some difficult obstacles with absolute ease so she is going to make someone an ideal low level allround dream horse! A 5* home is a must

16hh blue and white Irish mare 4 yrs



Super old fashioned Irish mare who will go on to do any job. Bonnie is a type increasingly hard to find, she’s a solid MW and a square leg at each corner sort but is still quality.

Bonnie is a real treasure. She is now working sweetly on the flat and starting to get the idea of working on the bridle, she is straightforwards to ride and happy to just continue if her rider has a wobble. She stays in a good rhythm and really tries to please, she is obviously still green but shows a lot of promise in her work and is naturally balanced. Bonnie is definitely a jumper! She has got a great technique, and gets better with every session. She is just awesome, she’s very brave, careful and straightforward. She has had her first taste of XC with us and was great fun and very brave with a lot more to come from her! She will go on and do a bit of everything very well and be a top class all rounder. I could see her going and being a lot of fun grass roots eventing, SJ ( you wouldn’t know how much scope she’s got so who knows how far she will go!) Bonnie is a machine out hunting and has been out weekly on hound exercise and to opening meets visiting various packs, she is made for the job, stands quietly, excellent with hounds, hunts in a snaffle and jumps anything and everything, combined with being very sensible and eye catching she is one in a million! She has been hunting with us with several different riders and gives everyone a great day.

Bonnie love fun rides, she's the sort you can take anywhere, she’s kind and simple and loves her hacking alone and in company and is good in traffic. We have hacked her extensively, taken her to the beach / pub and given her a good start to seeing the world. She is my go to if I ever have a novice friend wanting to come hacking as she is very quiet and really is anybodies ride!

We have been hunting Bonnie with all the local packs and she is cracking and made for the job, she's hunted now with several different riders bothe male and female and given everyone a great day, she's very genuine to jump and happy to give a lead if needed, hedges, timber, nothing is any bother to her. She stands like a rock when asked and is good with hounds.

Her attitude to work is just the best, she is the definition of a trier. In addition to being such a total sweetheart under saddle she’s very kind to handle, good to catch, clip, box, good with farrier and just a ice easy person to have on the yard. She is happy to live in, out and not mareish and friends with everyone. I adore her and can’t wait to see what she becomes.

Video does no justice as she's come on a lot since it was taken, for fresh videos and hunting ones please send a Whatsapp

?? Harlow
7-year-old Warmblood x Cob Mare
If you’re after a kind, easy-going mare who’s as genuine as they come — meet Harlow. ??
She’s the perfect blend of Warmblood quality and cob common sense, making her a real pleasure to have around. Harlow has mainly been hacking and takes absolutely everything in her stride — traffic, tractors, dogs, puddles, you name it — she’s completely unfazed. She’s also happily popped over some solid fences and shows plenty of bravery and scope to go on and do a bit of everything.
Harlow doesn’t need riding every day and is exactly the same whether she’s worked regularly or had a few days off — no silliness, no spook, no drama. Just a straightforward, steady girl who loves a scratch and a bit of fuss.
Currently barefoot, good for the farrier, loads and travels well, and has no vet history. Open to full vetting.
She’s the kind of mare everyone needs in their life — honest, brave, and always ready for whatever the day brings.

GUINNESS

Gorgeous, correct, classy and the real package. This lovely 2019 registered Irish Draught (green book full recorded breeding) gelding stands at 16.2hh, a substantial chap, absolute head turner and a brilliant, charming personality to match.

Guinness has done plenty of hunting, he loves it, he will go anywhere in the field, stands at the meet and will literally jump anything you put in front of him, a complete professional over a ditch, class back end over a hedge and will trot and pop over a rail off a road or in trappy country. He is excellent with hounds, a placid horse around others and just guaranteed to give you the most lovely day.

This lovely chap is friendly, laid back and easy, he can be ridden by anyone, of all abilities and will carry a heavier rider. Despite his brilliance out in the hunt field, he has done unaffiliated eventing, riding club, showjumping, XC and farm rides, and a test.

He’s been an allrounder and has done plenty, he has lots of scope and makes a great shape over a fence, never says no and will always help you out. Just a genuine horse, with a lovely way about him. He would excel in the show ring, lovely stamp and he’s always complimented wherever he goes.

Guinness is a fabulous horse to hack out, will ride and lead, or be lead, he’s happy going with others or solo and is unbothered by everything.

Super safe, quality and fun chap, and very much a unicorn.

Open to any vet or trainer £13950 Trial period available

Large gentle kind cob mare ex trekking centre

  • A real mother hen type
£4,000
  • Cob
  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 16 years
  • 16 hands
  • A gentle comfortable and responsive kick along type
  • A real mother hen type

Bought for non Horsey partner learning to ride

A gentle comfortable and responsive kick along type. Very light in the mouth. A willing arm chair ride.

Someone has clearly put the time in schooling her.

She likes to hack in company having been in a trekking centre . It isnt a quirk per se she is a herd animal who's had a life in company.

She's lovely in the school a smooth comfort ride that feels safe as she's so n and smooth and listens to your aids.

Great over ground poles I've no doubt she'd be up for a clear round.

An empathetic mare. A real mother hen type. She deserves a permanent home so I'm being very choosy.

Serious Enquiries only please. She's quite unfit but you can hop on after weeks off no issue. Fitness reflects price and only available as im having surgery and I'm the Horsey one. Partner isn't Horsey enough to take over fully long term for me. Hence sad decision.

This is a hard to find sort of horse.
