  • A real favourite with all who meet him

Bred for conformation and temperament, this kind-hearted Cob X is still low mileage and ready to go on to give someone a world of fun.

Jed is snaffle mouthed and works very nicely on the flat. With balanced, expressive paces, we think he can go on to excel in a range of disciplines, with particular potential in the show ring.

He hacks out well around roads and in open spaces, alone or in company, happy in front or behind and is good in traffic.

He’s hunted, done clinics and fun-rides with previous owner and will happily pop round a little course of jumps in a nice rhythm.

He was purchased from his breeder and has been with his current owner for three years where he has mainly been hacking and schooling since then so full history is known.

A real favourite with all who meet him, he loves people and will stand all day to be pampered.

Good to clip, shoe and catch etc. Up to date with vacc’s and teeth. Will turn out with mares or geldings.

He can sometimes get a reaction to pollen in the spring, but this has never been problematic and a nose-net tends to help. Has occasionally been seen to weave in his stable when settling into a new place or when there is lots going on.

He’s a big, well built boy and rides nicely forward off the leg so please no beginners or real novices, though he’s always been impeccably behaved!

He loves a job to do and is happiest in a regular routine. It really is hard to fault this sweet natured chap. It’s an incredibly tough decision to let him go so only this most suitable, kind and knowledgeable home is sought after.

Current owner would love to stay in touch.
He has an extensive wardrobe including fitted saddle, which can be negotiated with price.
Open to any vetting.

Rio - 15.2hh Polo Bred Gelding 2011 Liver Chestnut

Offered to the market on behalf of his owner Rio is looking for a new best friend to call his own.

With an extensive CV Rio has lots to offer.

Hunted with the bloodhounds, Rio proved unfazed by the busy atmosphere and enjoyed being around lots of other horses and having a fast paced job to do.

Beach rides and fun rides are his favourite. Lots of cantering and adventuring around the open countryside as well as dipping his toes into the sea.

Having previously played polo he is a responsive switched on ride and prefers to take confidence from a still well balanced competent rider.

Rio will ride in an arena although he does tend to activate polo mode a little more in this environment will be more responsive than he would be on say a happy hack.

Happy jumping logs and poles when out and about - not a ready made show jumper as this hasn't ever been asked of him. With time and schooling this could just be his unfound forte.

Great on traffic and is a brave sort. Happy to hack alone and in company.

Sadly Rio was sold to his owners 6 months ago and has come back to us to be sold as he simply wasn't a good match to his less experienced jockey. Since being in our yard we have found him ever so slightly worried so think the rider horse/ combo may have left him unsettled.

That said he has also been owned by a fun loving teenager and she idolised him. He was sold purely down to family circumstances at the time - she would love to stay in touch.

Not the type to nap, bronk or rear. Not suited to a novice home - Experienced quiet riders will allow him to shine.

An absolute saint to have on the yard. A gentleman in the stable. Recently trimmed by the farrier. Clipped and only needed extra hands to do his ears and head. No stable vices.

Loads onto a trailer like a professional and travels well.

Happy to turn out with mares and geldings. Is neither top nor bottom of the pecking order so will slot into any home / yard environment.

Wormed to date
Passport and microchipped
Sadly no loans or trials

Super lovely all rounder

Really sweet and kind temperament.

She was broken earlier this year and has been super straightforward, she is riding nicely in the arena and has hacked both alone and in company. Been on the roads a few times and didnt mind about the traffic, seen farm machinery ect.

A really easy horse to handle and deal with both on and off the ground. When she matures and fills out would probably look very smart hogged out.

Hopefully going to get her out xc schooling next week.

She is a real sensible type with a laid back nature, ready to go and see the world and have lots of fun

John Boy is a lovely, loving Irish bred gelding. He is a rare find – a fantastic horse who absolutely loves to jump and always wants to please his rider, combined with a lovely temperament that gives his rider confidence.

Standing at approximately 15hh, this 5-year-old, John Boy is a lovely stamp of a horse with plenty of quality. He has a fantastic attitude towards his work, is genuinely a yard favorite and has always been very quiet, easy to ride and look after. He is happy to be ridden by anyone, children as well as adults, and never seems to get strong or sharp which gives the rider great confidence.

John Boy has good conformation, good quality feet. To match this he has a very willing temperament that gives everyone that rides him confidence and a safe feeling.

On the flat John Boy rides very well and is light and responsive to the aids. He bends correctly, is supple and balanced in all three paces.

John Boy has been to various arenas, cross country hires and outings and has always been easy to load, tack up and manage. He has proven to be sensible in open spaces, happily cantering with others while remaining easy to pull up and ride.

John Boy has also been lightly hunted, where he proved to be very safe, sensible and well mannered throughout the day and he really enjoyed himself without being silly.

John Boy is an incredibly versatile horse who would be suited to RC/PC, dressage, showing, showjumping, XC, working hunter, hunting and a mother/daughter share – the list goes on.

Showjumping, John Boy has plenty of talent and is very careful. He listens well to his rider and is quick to sort himself out if the rider gets it wrong, happily jumping from any stride. He has seen bright and spooky fillers and fences and has taken everything in his stride.

Cross country, John Boy is light in the hand giving the rider a great feel. He happily jumps ditches, banks, water and other types of fences while remaining level headed and genuine.

John Boy hacks well both alone and in company and doesn’t mind other horses leaving or joining him.

Around the yard John Boy is lovely and easy to handle. He enjoys being brushed and fussed over and is good to catch, clip, shoe and load onto both lorry and trailer. He has no stable vices and will be a great asset to anyone who buys him.

The wonderful Zoey! A mare that I have become super fond of in the time she has been with me!

Zoey is a 10yo beautifully bred quality and substantial ID mare. She is 10yo, however she has spent 4 years as a brood mare, so has low mileage for her age!

In Ireland she has had a predominantly happy hacking career, being ridden by novices & hunting, being an allround family horse, along side breeding foals!

Since I have had her, I have hunted her with the Fernie, she proved sensible & very straight forward! She stood at the meet, and was polite and level headed cantering in the field.

Zoey is working well In the school. She is a lovely active forward ride, with a fabulous step in the trot! She is green for her age in the school- but her schooling basics are all in place to further her education and strengthening! She has a lovely big show horse canter, and is light in the mouth and wants to naturally go on the bridle- which she has picked up incredibly quickly! Zoey is a super intelligent mare, she loves to work in the school and learn new things. She fills the eye in a dressage arena and is a super attractive horse. I think she would make a very smart dressage horse!

To jump Zoey has taken everything in her stride and proven to be bold over fillers. She really wants to be careful over a pole and gives the rider a lovely feel over a fence. Zoey thoroughly enjoys her jumping!

Zoey has hacked in company and alone- she has been hacked on the roads and in the fields. She is a forward going marching on kind of girl, so not for someone who is looking for a slob!

Zoey is good to clip, shoe, load and travel, catch, bath, She turns out with others mares and geldings. stands on the lorry at a show. She has a capped hock and a small scar on her bum. Open to any vetting.

Vice free- her noteble ‘habits’ she can put her head high when you’re putting a bridle on- a small child would probably struggle to tack her up!

Looking for a 5* home for my 5* girl!

Axel - 15.2hh Gelding Black and White Irish Cob Weight Carrier

Axel is an exceptional 15.2hh 5 year-old Irish Cob gelding, don’t let his age put you off, he is super safe and sensible well beyond his years, he acts like a 10 year old, he is absolutely a rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable, weight carrier, ideal for a wide range of riders – from competent novice to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm and steady ride.

Axel is beautifully put together and super sensible in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing gelding, he is the definition of safe and steady. He is calm and steady if your less experienced but also has a fifth gear if you can ride, he is so adaptable and can be ridden by competent novices then pick up his pace if you can ride, making her a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability or responsiveness.

Ultimate All-Rounder

Axel has spent the last 18 months in a professional riding school environment and she has excelled with every level of rider, both under saddle and during stable management activities.

He has experience in flatwork lessons, both private and group, as well as participating in our in-house low level showjumping and cross-country competitions. He is confident over coloured and rustic fences, he would be good at cross-country, working hunter and hunting.

Axel absolutely loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. He is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. He remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home, you can gallop across open fields with loose horses running along side him, then immediately pull him up and allow him to walk on a long rein or ask him to stand while horses run around him, he is most definitely not sharp, spooky or spiny.

He has been truly exceptional during her time on the riding school, he is unbelievable forgiving when rider lose their balance, struipps or have a bad stride into a fence, he always takes care of her riders, his substantial build, with a leg in each corner, combined with her calm disposition, sure-footedness, and gentle nature, gives riders confidence to progress and excel. He will stand patiently at the mounting block while you mount. I can honestly say he has absolutely no quirks, vices or negative traits.

Although he is happy to go at a quiet steady pace, he is also responsive to the leg and has three beautiful balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders he will work into a nice outline with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible, he has never bucked, reared, kicked or bitten, he is the most loving kind gentleman you could ever wish to meet.
Snaffle mouth

Axel has outstanding ground manners. He stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a head collar or lead rope. He is not clingy, and is happy living in or out. In the field he keeps himself to himself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Axcel has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. He is excellent to clip, bath, catch, great to load and travel, fantastic with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. He can have weeks or even months off and return to ridden work without any fuss. He maintains his condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

He passes our riding school annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Axel is a rare gem. He is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you are looking for a SUPER SAFE happy hacker or someone looking for a fun allrounder, a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Axcel fits the bill perfectly. He is a genuine schoolmaster who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Axcel is ready to bring joy to his next rider and deserves the very best home. He has been truly exceptional. Sold on behalf of working livery, he is a private sale.

Meet Robby – The Ultimate Schoolmaster & Confidence Giver

Robby is a lovely 17-year-young, 16.2hh Maxi Cob gelding looking for a kind and knowledgeable home where he can enjoy happy hacking, hunting and fun days out.

A genuine schoolmaster and nanny horse, Robby has taught countless riders over the years. He is a real confidence giver and an easy, enjoyable ride. Anyone can hack him out and he has safely introduced many people to riding and hunting. He loves beach rides, pub rides, and a day out with the hounds, and has given many riders their first enjoyable days hunting.

He does require a little management once a year to keep him comfortable. X-rays have shown slight navicular changes in his near fore. His coffin joint has been injected and he wears pads in front. He is currently sound, happy and still enjoying his job, with no reason he couldn’t do a few more seasons.

Please note: Robby will not pass a full vetting, so please don’t enquire if this is essential. However, he passes the veterinary inspection every year for my riding school licence and continues to work happily.

Important:
• No time wasters
• No loans or payment plans
• Not for someone wanting to jump grassroots
• No one wanting to bring trainers – he is not going to a schooling home

Normal, genuine homes only please.

Transport can be arranged and part exchange may be considered. Priced realistically for a quick, straightforward sale, but he will not be given away.

Reason for sale: The hirelings weren’t busy enough this season so I’m rethinking my career and moving some of my older horses on to loving, knowledgeable homes.
