Astrid

Stunning Clydesdale Cross Irish Cob
16.3hh mare
6yrs

If you’re looking for a horse with impeccable manners both on the ground and under saddle, something super safe, calm and unfazed by absolutely everything, exceptionally low maintenance and gentle enough to be handled by a child, a horse with far more “whoa” than “go”—dare I say it… a bit of a plod—then Astrid is your girl.

This 6 year old girl is wise and judicious way beyond her years, she is sensible, straightforward and safe. She is the most loveable gentle giant you could ever wish to meet.

She is currently working in my riding school where she is ridden by all levels of riders, from complete beginners on the lead rein through to advanced. She definitely has more whoa than go, so if you lose your stirrups or balance, she will quietly come back to walk without even being asked. She is incredibly forgiving and always looks after her rider.

Astrid has a fantastic attitude to learning and always tries her best. She is a lovely all-round horse, she is a kind, honest uncomplicated mare.

She responds nicely to the leg throughout all three paces and is happy to pop over poles, logs and small fences. For a more novice rider, she will happily plod around on a long rein, taking everything in her stride regardless of the terrain.

She most definitely doesn’t fizz up, spook, shy, rush, pull or behave silly. Astrid has the same chilled-out temperament wherever she goes—absolutely nothing phases her.

She would suit a nervous or novice rider, a mature person wanting to enjoy their riding, or someone who simply wants to take life in the slow lane.

She can be ridden every now and again or worked daily and remains exactly the same sensible, laid-back horse.

Astrid hacks out in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eyelid. She has seen all types of vehicles including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, motorbikes, tractors, trailers and large agricultural machinery.

She has impeccable manners across open fields and will canter or gallop quietly on grass verges beside busy roads. In company she is happy to lead, follow or ride at the back, never rushing, pulling or trying to overtake. If anything, she sometimes needs reminding to keep up.

She also hacks confidently alone through open countryside and the busiest of traffic, proving herself to be a sturdy, sure-footed and considerate mare.

She is excellent to catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, shoe, for the dentist and the vet. She is currently barefoot but was previously shod in Ireland and has impeccable manners for the farrier.

She absolutely loves attention and will happily stand all day without a headcollar while being groomed, bathed, cuddled and fussed over. She will also stand in her stable with the door open, happily eating her hay without attempting to leave unless asked. She is regularly caught, led and handled by the smallest of children and is quite happy being gently led around the yard. She stands perfectly at the mounting block until mounted, regardless of how long it takes.

She has a lovely snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets required.

She is stabled during the day and turned out at night in a mixed herd. She is equally happy living in or out full time, keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite sharing with around 25 other horses. She isn’t clingy and is perfectly happy on her own if required.

Astrid will give confidence to any rider or handler and would happily enjoy riding club activities, fun rides and beach rides. She can have weeks or even months off and be tacked up and ridden exactly the same. She is exceptionally low maintenance, maintains her weight all year round on grass, hay and haylage during winter, and has never suffered with laminitis, sweet itch or sarcoids.

During the entire time I have owned her she has never been lame, sick or sorry. My vet can verify this, and she has just passed the riding school’s annual inspections with flying colours, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

We are looking for a genuine five-star private home where someone can enjoy owning a truly safe, kind and sensible horse with so much to offer.

Only for sale, as we rotate our riding school horses every 12-24 months, to give these wonderful horses the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one private home again. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Other horses and ponies available for viewing.

• Picture with me is for scale... I'm 5'8 and the bay next to him is my 16.1hh TB Team Chaser...
• Heavyweight Hunter

Smokey Black, serious heavyweight gelding. 17/17.1hh now, but has not got a high wither and feels about 18hh when you're close to him.

This is one serious powerhouse of a Viking warrior's war horse! Looks like Thor should be riding him into Valhalla.

Floats like a butterfly with movement that makes you think he couldn’t possibly have the 10’’ of clean bone that he has. We jumped him for the first time today, and he pops 1.30 without having to make the slightest effort.

He is bold, brave, athletic, smooth-moving, handsome, and totally clean-limbed.

Raven’s father is the famous C1 Irish Draught stallion Corrindon Dancer, who won the Royal Dublin Show. I bred his mother, and she is ISH (Ballinvella) x Czech WB (Falko). Dam is the maternal half-sister to the dam of the multiple winning HW buckskin stallion Hallslake Nimrod (look him up), whom I also bred. The Ballinvella TB in the back breeding has given Raven athleticism and refinement, which, in such a huge and heavy horse, is just mind-blowing when you see him move. Genetically, I believe Raven is technically a Smoky Black as his mother is buckskin, so he has some 'dun' markings on his flank, but otherwise, when not sun bleached, he's very black.

Currently 4 years old and a raw blank canvas, having been with us from a foal. We haven’t ever even put a bridle on this boy yet. We have given him plenty of time to fill up his big frame, and mature. He has had his hooves looked after, been regularly wormed, and come in the barn for winters and lived out all summer in a herd. He is not clingy, is happy to be caught and moved away from friends, and stabled or transported without insecurity. He loads well in a trailer or lorry as he has been moved to different grazing between seasons. He can be rugged or left naked. He has no ailments or allergies and is vice-free, totally clean-limbed and straight-moving. He is kind, clever, and easy-going, naturally bold, and will be easy to break in.

What is his job going to be, and where would you find another one??

War Horse? Hunter? Show Horse? Dressage? Large person eventer? Battle reenactment horse? Jousting? Police horse? He genuinely could be absolutely anything.

We usually start our own horses undersaddle, but sometimes we find that buyers are looking to start from the begining themselves, so we are offering Raven raw initially, but we are also happy to get him backed for his purchasers if it is desired. If he is not sold during July, we will get him going, with a view to doing an hour or two of trail hunting over our fabulous, rugged terrain of Exmoor by Autumn. I honestly think he will be an absolute pleasure to get going and will be one hugely impressive horse under saddle.

Anyone looking for a horse that looks like a battering ram but moves like a show pony…. Give me a shout!

We are based near Lynton/Lynmouth on Exmoor, Devon/Somerset borders, and can help with delivery.

• Schools well, pops a course & great to hack.

Frankie is a real head turner. He would make a top quality, genuine all-rounder for someone, as he has a sensible head on him and he always makes his rider feel safe. He is already schooling nicely on the flat for his age, he is jumping round a small course, jumping all fillers etc. He was backed last year & turned away to mature and he then was brought back at the beginning of the year. He has a very good attitude to his work & is always wanting to please. He’s very good to hack out alone or in company.

He is very friendly in the stable and is good to handle. He loves to be pampered & fussed over. Loads & travels well.

Being half brother to Gadly Studs Welsh National sec d champion ‘Cascob Spring Song’ he’s bred to compete in the showing world.

Sired by the Royal Welsh Prince Of Wales cup winner Cascob Brenin Dafydd & out of Taiforgan Marie (Menai Sparking Image/Menai Sparkling Imperial) .

He is now looking for someone to continue his education.

She's incredible to hack. SUPER SAFE. 

She's good in heavy traffic and open spaces. She is happy popping a log or ditch out hacking. She has done a few shows since coming to uk. Always good when out. A super type more wo then go. Would suit anybody looking for a quieter ride. Can live out

Romeo – The Ultimate Confidence Giver

15hh 10-Year-Old Cob Gelding

Romeo is an exceptional 15hh, 10-year-old Cob gelding who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable and a genuine weight carrier, making him suitable for a wide range of riders—from complete beginners, nervous adults and children, RDA riders, those with additional learning needs, right through to more experienced riders looking for a calm, reliable partner.

Romeo is beautifully put together and truly is a horse who has been there, done that. Calm, considerate and always willing to please, he is the definition of safe and steady. He has far more “whoa” than “go” for less experienced riders, yet for a capable rider he has another gear when asked. His adaptability allows him to happily carry a complete novice one day and then enjoy a more forward ride with an experienced rider the next.

The Ultimate All-Rounder

Romeo has spent the last 12 months working in a professional riding school, where he has excelled with every type of rider, from complete beginners to advanced riders, both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

He has extensive experience in private and group flatwork lessons and regularly takes part in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. Romeo absolutely loves to jump and is confident over coloured and rustic fences, showing a careful, honest and bold technique. Prior to joining us, he competed successfully at low level in showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and has also enjoyed hunting.

Hacking is one of Romeo’s greatest strengths. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to some of the heaviest traffic imaginable, including double-decker buses, articulated lorries, tractors and all types of farm machinery. Nothing fazes him. He remains calm and relaxed in every environment and never becomes strong or silly. He can gallop across open fields with loose horses running alongside him before immediately coming back to walk on a long rein or standing quietly while other horses continue galloping around him. He is genuinely one of the most sensible horses you could wish to ride and is never sharp, spooky or silly.

During his time at the riding school, Romeo has been nothing short of outstanding. He is incredibly forgiving when riders lose their balance, lose a stirrup or make a mistake into a fence. He always looks after his rider and never takes advantage. His substantial build, combined with his calm temperament, sure-footedness and kind nature, gives nervous riders enormous confidence. He will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as required without moving a foot.

I can honestly say Romeo has no quirks, vices or unpleasant traits.

Although perfectly happy to amble along at a quiet pace, Romeo is responsive to the leg and offers three lovely, balanced paces. For a more experienced rider he will happily work into a soft outline while remaining relaxed and obedient. He has never bucked, reared, bolted, kicked or bitten. He is ridden in a simple snaffle at all times with no gadgets whatsoever.

Outstanding Manners

Romeo has impeccable manners both in and out of the stable. He will happily stand for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar. He is polite, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle.

He is equally happy living in or out and settles well whether stabled individually or turned out in a mixed herd, he is currently in a mixed herd and solo field in between lessons.

Romeo has an excellent health history and has never suffered from laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any significant lumps, bumps or soundness issues.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy feet but is equally happy to be shod if preferred. He is excellent to catch, clip, bath, load, travel, shoe, and is a pleasure for the farrier, vet and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance and requires no daily work. He can enjoy weeks or even months off before returning to work exactly the same horse. He maintains his condition well on a simple diet and is exceptionally easy to manage in every respect.

Romeo has also recently passed our annual Riding School Licence Inspection, the equivalent of a Stage 2 veterinary inspection.

A Horse You’ll Struggle to Replace

Romeo is a genuinely rare horse. Whether you’re looking for a confidence giver, a safe hacking companion, a family horse, an RDA-type horse, a riding club horse or simply an honest all-rounder to enjoy, he ticks every box.

He is a genuine schoolmaster who gives his rider confidence every time they sit in the saddle and will undoubtedly provide his next owner with many years of enjoyment.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular riding school stock rotation, we give our horses the opportunity to move on to loving private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-to-one attention and a more varied lifestyle. Romeo has been an exceptional member of our team and now deserves a wonderful forever home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available.

• For hacking, low level dressage and fun rides
• Confidence Giving Type
• Kind family horse looking for home for life

I am looking for a kind genuine horse to be my best friend for hacking, low level dressage, fun rides and a yearly holiday to the beach. Home for life awaits on a small private yard where horses are treated as individuals. Experienced owner who can provide references and is happy to keep in contact.

The main priority is that my new horse is super safe to hack both alone and in company across the fields and out in traffic. I am looking to do Novice Dressage but happy to put the work in.

Would also consider something stepping down. Horse should be 16hh+ and age 6 years plus unless very sensible. No vices and open to a vetting. Ideally a MW Irish type - ISH/ ID/ Cob X etc that can cope with a few days off without any drama.

As not to waste anyone's time I have a budget up to mid teens but this does depend on the horse. Stable ready and waiting.

* now back in work and hacking out round the village* Sad sale due to complete lack of time to do him justice and he is far too good to sit in the field doing nothing.

Absolutely stunning silver dapple and white 5yr old gelding standing around 14,1hh and as wide as he is tall,

An abundance of main tail and feather he is a straight moving boy with no blemishes and no vices.

A lovely natured boy who loves people he is good to do in all ways catch bath with farrier is good to fully clip he travels and loads well in lorry or trailer.

Was broken last year and hacking out round the villages like an an angel and turned away for winter but due to complete lack of time has done nothing since.

He will come back in to work easy with no problem I have tacked him up a few times and jumped on and gone round the village and he didn’t bat an eye.

Did a couple of in hand shows as a 2 yr old and won everything he has so much potential would easy show at county level or would be a lovely family horse.

Up to date with jabs farrier etc

Same home from 2 years old and will only go to the best of homes.

• A chunky build, a cheeky personality, and lots of love to give

Hi, I’m Koby, a handsome 14hh gelding with a chunky build, a cheeky personality, and lots of love to give.

I’ve been with my current owner for the past 6 years, so this is a very sad sale and will only be to the very best home. My owner has made the difficult decision to move on and is looking for someone special to become my new best friend.

I’ve had lots of fun over the years, including cross-country, show jumping, beach rides, and plenty of adventures. I love getting out and about and enjoy having a job to do.

I’m a kind, affectionate boy, but I can be a little nappy at times, so I’m looking for a confident, kind and patient rider who will understand me and help me continue to thrive. In return, I’ll be a loyal partner and a wonderful friend.

Finding the right home is far more important than a quick sale. If you think you could offer me the loving forever home I deserve, we’d love to hear from you. Message for more information
