  • Striking Buckskin Snowflake Appaloosa
  • To make fun allrounder
  • Slowly and carefully produced
Lily May is a striking snowflake appaloosa buckskin Irish mare. Rising 6, she has been slowly, carefully, and thoughtfully produced, ensuring she has a solid foundation without being pushed too fast. She is naturally balanced, brave and honest to a fence.

Lily May would suit a confident, knowledgeable home experienced in producing young horses. She is a fantastic project for someone looking to take a talented youngster up through the levels and shows the promise to shine in any discipline with further education.

At the end of last summer she sustained a minor injury, which has been professionally rehabbed. She is now back in consistent work, occasionally green but going well on the flat in W/T/C and over small jumps. Has also been x country schooling and loves it! Full details and vet history available to serious purchasers.

She will hack alone and is confident with all farm machinery, diggers etc. She is polite on the ground, not mareish, good to clip, shoe and load and travels well. She is up to date with vaccs.

Now based in South Bucks, Lily May was bought 2 years ago as a rising 4 year old from her breeder in Ireland so her history is known.

She is a special mare with a bright future ahead. Home genuinely way more important than price - can come with a full wardrobe.

  • Wanted 13:3 - 15:1 hh Safe and sane happy hacker
  • Experienced long term loving home awaits right horse
  • Gelding preferred but non marish mare considered

Due to the loss of my wonderful Connemara in January I’m searching for my new best friend.

I primarily hack but would like the opportunity to do beach rides and holidays away with my friend and her horse.

I’m not adverse to a veteran or a horse/pony with health issues as long as fully disclosed. Something that’s been there and done it but now needs a quieter life would be ideal.

Must be good in all traffic and travel in a trailer.

I’ve owned and ridden horses all my life but I’m now in my sixties and no longer brave so no bucking, rearing, bolting or napping, no project horses and no dealers.

In return I can offer a long term experienced home on my  own land at my home with other horses, all year turnout with field shelter and stabling as required 

References available.

Realistic budget for the right horse.

  • Loving, long term family home
  • Varied and sensible workload
  • Would want for nothing!

We have a tall 13yo, she is a quiet, natural jockey whose main interest is dressage, she enjoys jumping but isn’t super competitive. Having outgrown her fabulous 13.3/14hh Welsh x Cob who turns her hoof to a bit of everything, we are looking for a similar type with longer legs! Think overgrown pony rather than a horse, temperament, consistency and kindness are paramount. Must be well schooled with good transitions but we don’t need big/expressive movement. We’d like something that is happy jumping 70/80 tracks, has done plenty of rallies, been to camp, hacks nicely etc. Must be easy and straightforward on the ground, to travel etc.

We really aren’t stuck on a Connie and would happily consider a sensible Section D, LW cob or Irish type. We are offering a fabulous family home, the stables are next to the house and the children are very involved in the day to day care of their ponies. Life will be varied, they really will want for nothing. We recognise we are looking for a needle in a haystack and have the budget to reflect that. West Midlands based but can travel within reason. We will ask for references and veterinary history, we are pragmatic and sensible but want to make a decision based on all the facts!

The ultimate allrounder who can turn her hoof to anything. One of the easiest most genuine horses I have come across in a long time.

Fit and ready to go for someone to have a lot of fun on. Comes with tack and full wardrobe.

Sire: Pembroke Royal Blue RID GB Gold Merit for Showing progeny and Bronze Merit for Dressage progeny
Dam: Castana Henry C1 (2x Hornby award)

Sad sale of a much loved gentle giant who I have owned for the last 4 years.

Only selling as I have a young family and wanting a smaller horse I can ride and lead a toddler from.

He has not been rushed in any way due to his size and age. Hacks alone with confident rider and in company, he is happy first or last. Will calmly stand at the pub whilst you have a drink.

He has attended hound exercise, being well mannered and enjoyed a sponsored ride setting off in a large group of horses. In time he will make a wonderful all rounder or smart hunter, equally he has the presence and flashiness for the show ring.

He really enjoys a fuss and is very friendly with other horses and people.

Overall a very likeable gelding with the ability to progress further in the right hands.

Up to date with vaccinations / farrier / dentist
Stabled on a working farm, he is excellent in traffic and farm machinery.
Serious enquiries only.

  • Has done four seasons hunting with the Tipperary and a few other visiting packs
  • Also done lots of cross country and fun rides

We haven’t had this type for years, probably when I was back selling just Hunters. But when I found out he was for sale, I had to buy him. He comes from my local town in Fethard Tipperary. Ireland. 

He is 8 years old Irish Draught, 16 hand wide type ( very hard to find) 

Teddy has been in the same home from four years old. 

He has done four seasons hunting with the Tipperary and a few other visiting packs. 

He has had lots of riders from novice to to good amateurs. He was owned by a lovely family. And he wanted for nothing. The most genuine reason he is for sale is because he is too slow. That is the only reason why they are partying with him. 

He popped around fences in the arena

He has the most outstanding temperament. He is also done lots of cross country and fun rides.

He is outstanding and heavy traffic and is absolutely amazing to hack

What really sells this boy is his temperament. 

We had him fully vetted last week and he passed a five stage fitting with flying colours

Fantastic to clip, box , shoe , hack , hunt , travel, etc 

They literally don’t breed this type anymore
