• Homebred and lovingly owned since a foal – genuine, kind temperament with a family upbringing.
• Professionally backed this year after being allowed to mature correctly – an exciting blank canvas
• Hacks confidently alone and in company, up to date with all routine care.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I offer my beautiful mare Inka (Bowland Diamond Endeavour) for sale due to a genuine change in personal circumstances. She has been with me since she was a foal and has been lovingly raised in a family environment, making this an exceptionally difficult decision. She doesn’t owe me anything, and finding her the perfect home is my absolute priority.

Standing at 17.1hh, she is a quality, pure bred registered Irish Draught mare out of a Hornby Premium mare, sired by RID Diamond Lodge. Due to her size, she has never been rushed and has been allowed the time to mature both physically and mentally. She was professionally backed earlier this year and has taken everything in her stride.

She is still green in the school, so she is not a novice ride and will require a knowledgeable, experienced owner to continue her education. However, she has all the ingredients to make an outstanding lifelong partner. She has shown a real willingness when hacking and happily goes out both alone and in company.

She has the sweetest nature – kind, genuine, and easy to have around. She is good with dogs, not mareish or bolshy, and has been brought up with plenty of love and attention. She has a great personality and a great sense of humour. She is up to date with her farrier, vaccinations, teeth, and physio. She is easy to handle, catch, bath etc.

She does have a capped hock, which has been thoroughly assessed by both my vet and physio. They have no concerns, as it is purely cosmetic and does not affect her soundness or ability. This has been reflected in her price.

This mare has so much potential and deserves someone who will continue her education and enjoy her for years to come. I truly believe she will make someone an incredible forever horse.

I have plenty of photos and videos available on request. Please, genuine enquiries only and no time wasters, as this is a heartbreaking sale. The right home is far more important than a quick sale. I would also be open to a full loan. She is now ready for someone to make their own.

• Shire

• Weight-carrying type
• Fantastic attitude

A lovely, registered Shire mare looking for her next home.

Standing at 17.2hh, she is a true weight-carrying type with a fantastic attitude out hacking. She happily hacks alone or in company and will go for hours through woodlands, country lanes and on the roads. Nothing seems to faze her, and she is good in traffic, making her a confidence-giving ride for those wanting a sensible hack.

She is ridden in a snaffle and has good brakes. She is not overly sensitive to either the leg or hand, making her forgiving and comfortable for a less-than-perfect rider.

Having mainly been used for hacking, she is still green in the school and would benefit from further education in the arena should you wish to go down that avenue. At just 5 years old, she has plenty of time and potential for someone wanting to put their own stamp on her.

Good to catch, turnout, and with the farrier. Barefoot with strong, healthy feet. Turns out happily with both mares and geldings.

She can occasionally be a typical mare in the stable and may pull a face from time to time, but this is easily managed and does not affect her ridden work.

She is currently building condition and has already improved significantly whilst in our care.

A lovely, reliable hacking partner would suit someone looking for a safe, sensible horse to enjoy miles of riding on.

• Would excel in showing and dressage
• Smart traditional cob
• Type of cob you can get straight on even after a couple weeks off

Meet Rosie, a 5-year-old traditional black Cob mare looking for her next home. She is a kind, willing mare who always wants to please and always tries her best in everything that is asked of her.

She excels in her flatwork and, in my personal opinion, would be well suited to either a confident novice or an experienced rider looking to do showing or dressage, thanks to the way she moves. She has a lovely attitude, is nicely put together, and has the traditional cob type and presence that would make her stand out in the show ring.

She will happily pop over a small cross pole and a little log in the woods she takes everything in her stride. Rosie is a good girl to hack on the road she’s seen cars, lorries and motorbikes and isn’t fazed by them. She may have a little looks at things, but she never does anything naughty she just carries on walking. She never naps or does anything silly on the roads. She's a very sweet mare. She hacks alone or in company, is happy to take the lead or sit behind, and is sensible for her age.

Rosie would be ideal for someone wanting a smart traditional cob to bring on for showing, hacking, and all-round fun.

Rosie has been to the beach with a novice rider, who she took excellent care of. She confidently led the whole way, walking through crowds of people to reach the beach. She has also been to the woods, where she enjoyed swimming in the river and happily popped over a little log.

Rosie is good to load onto both a horsebox and a trailer. I have videos of her loading, and she is happy to travel on her own or with company.

Rosie has also passed a recent 5 stage vetting and I’m also open to any vetting

If you're interested, I have plenty of photos and videos of Rosie and am happy to answer any questions or arrange a call.

• Genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to work
• Has all the ingredients to make an exceptional all-rounder
• Hacks alone or in company

Due to genuine personal circumstances, Rocco is sadly looking for a new home. This is through absolutely no fault of his own, and he will only be sold to the very best home.

Rocco is a genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to work. He is always willing to please and gives everything a go. He takes confidence from his rider, so he would be best suited to someone who can ride positively and consistently. However, he would also happily suit a confident novice rider with some horse knowledge who is looking for a genuine young horse to enjoy and continue producing. Kind, willing and eager to learn, Rocco has all the potential to make an outstanding all-round horse.

Rocco was professionally backed at the start of last winter before being turned away to mature. He returned to work in March and has been riding away consistently ever since. Despite his young age, he has taken everything in his stride and continues to impress with his willing attitude and sensible nature. He really is an old head on young shoulders, taking new experiences in his stride and always trying his best.

Since coming back into work, he has enjoyed beach rides, cross-country schooling, flatwork and plenty of hacking. He hacks happily alone or in company and is equally happy leading or following. He is very good in open spaces and, although he may be a little more forward in completely new environments, there is never anything silly or naughty about him. He has a lovely, level-headed temperament and always tries his best.

He is also incredibly genuine to ride after time off. He recently had several days off during the hot weather and came straight back into work without any fuss.

On the ground, Rocco is a pleasure to have around and is a real yard favourite thanks to his kind, friendly nature. He has lovely stable manners and is easy to handle in all respects.

Rocco is:

* Good to catch

* Good to load

* Can be unsure with the farrier but is improving with regular handling

* Well-mannered on the ground and in the stable

* Easy to do in all ways

* Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and farrier

* Free from lumps, bumps, blemishes, sarcoids or vices

* Recently passed a full 5-stage vetting with no issues

Unfortunately, his breeding is unknown.

Rocco has all the ingredients to make an exceptional all-round horse for someone wanting a genuine young horse to continue producing. He has a fantastic brain, a kind nature and a real willingness to learn, making him an exciting prospect for the future.

Rocco is equally happy living in or out and is content either with other horses or on his own.

Based in Dorset.

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.

🎀GRACIE🎀 17hh Rising 6yo full bred Irish Draught mare.

Gracie is a big friendly giant for someone looking for a super safe steady mare, Gracie is for you!

Gracie is pretty much bombproof to hack, I dont believe any horse is bombproof but she has never put a foot wrong! She has absolutely no vices and had various riders of all abilities riding her including my 13yo child.

Gracie is green in the school, transitions well, good to lunge but needs more work in the canter.

Gracie has seen trot poles, small jumps, machinery, dogs, mirrors, used to a busy family yard and unphased by it all.

Gracie had the winter off and brought back into work this summer and took everything in her stride.

Gracie would suit a hacking, trekking, pleasure ride home. She would also suit a riding school home with further schooling. She’d make a great hunter with some time and increased fitness.

Good to lead, clip, load and shoe although currently bare foot.

No health issues, never sick or sorry!

Comes with full wardrobe including brand new Arena air pocket saddle, fitted to her by Master Saddler in March this year. Eco Rider bridle, various rugs, fly masks etc.

She is literally a diamond in the making!

Harold is an outstanding 8-year-old full Irish Draught standing at 18hh. I have owned him since he was a 3-year-old and have produced him myself, making this an incredibly difficult decision.

Don’t be put off by Harold’s size, I am a slight 5’7. I have produced Harold since I was 17 years old. He is perfect in every way and a firm favourite on the yard.

He truly is the definition of a gentle giant. Harold has the kindest temperament and is trusted to be handled, led, turned out and brought in by complete novices. He has impeccable manners both at home and away and is a pleasure in every aspect. He is good to load, travel, clip, shoe, bath, have his teeth done. He travels perfectly in a trailer, and I regularly compete on my own with him as he stands quietly and behaves impeccably.

Harold is an incredibly versatile horse who has enjoyed success across multiple disciplines. We have been active members of the British Riding Club, competing and training in groups. He has competed British Showjumping at British Novice and Discovery level, although this has never been our main focus and my own lack of confidence over bigger fences is reflected in his record rather than his ability.

He has lightly evented both affiliated and unaffiliated at BE90 level and is confidently training at BE100. Dressage has been our main focus this last year and Harold has really excelled. Last season we qualified for the Petplan Area Festivals, achieving three top-three placings and a top-ten finish across Prelim and Novice classes. We have recently stepped up to Elementary and are now training Medium movements.

Harold hacks alone or in company, happily goes in front or behind, and is never spooky, strong or silly. He absolutely loves adventures, whether that's mountain rides, farm rides or, best of all, beach rides. He is always ridden in a snaffle in every discipline.

In 2025, Harold was selected to appear on Horse & Country's *All Star Academy*, where he spent a week training with some of the sport's leading professionals, all of whom commented on his trainability, attitude and exceptional temperament.

Harold has been a huge part of my life and owes me absolutely nothing. He is a genuine all-rounder with a heart of gold who would suit someone looking for a safe, versatile partner to enjoy a variety of disciplines. Equally, he has the ability to continue progressing with the right rider.

Hundreds of photos, videos and his full competition record are available,along with extensive footage on Instagram and Facebook under **@eventing.haroldx**.

Harold has a custom-made Erreplus jump saddle and Equipe dressage saddle, both available by separate negotiation.

**A five-star home is absolutely essential for this very special boy.**

• 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.

• True Allrounder in the making
• Proven Hunter / X country machine!
• Beautiful Soul who wants to please and is willing t to learn

This beautiful young gelding was bred and started in Ireland where he was mainly hacked out alone and hunted throughout the previous season. He proved to be polite with the dogs and other horses, standing at the meet. Bold and brave jumping all that he was faced with.

He was imported at the start of March '25 and given time to settle in whilst continuing with basic lunging and groundwork before spending 3 months with a professional trainer being restarted in the saddle, ensuring the basics were established in the arena, hacking out at the weekends He went on to start some lateral work and saw his first coloured fences. He began to accept both leg and the hand coming into a nice outline. He now needs to learn to stretch down working over his back more consistently seeking the contact and trusting the riders hand.

He received a glowing report and hadn't put a hoof wrong.

He is keen to please and proves very trainable can become a little anxious when unsure what is being asked of him looking to the rider for support For this reason he is not currently a Novice ride.

At this point it was believed he was unsuitable for his older disabled owner (me!) to ride. I decided to keep him and found a young rider to help bring him on with the hope he would mature and become more suitable. Sadly my health has deteriorated further and so I've concluded it's time to sell.

In the stable he is sweet and easy. He is still a young horse and is a little anxious if a stranger rushes him trying to throw a rug on without introducing themselves and saying "hello" first. Introductions over and he's an angel to handle, groom, tack up, muck out etc with or without being tied up in the stable. He will tie up outside and wait patiently with a hay net!

He is super to clip, including his head, jaw ears and under belly he will fall asleep with his headcollar over one ear, untied in the middle of a busy yard!

He is good to shoe, load and travel in a box or trailer. Good to lead, easy to catch. Enjoys attention and has always been gentle with small children and animals. He stands quietly to be hosed off all over, again untied if needed.

He is happy to have a rider legged up. At the mounting block he was initially anxious but this was worked on with gentle desensitization. Now he is more confident. With the rider in the saddle he will sometimes walk forwards. He never rushes off but this is a work in progress he will be gently reminded of his manners to wait until asked to move off. He doesn't bolt rear or buck.

Although he is not currently for a Novice rider as he is a very forward, reactive to the leg and sensitive in the hand. A confident novice rider who enjoys a forward sensitive soul would likely be ok fine. He requires further training and maturity to become the true alrounder he is already showing the potential to be. I do allow my very novice 9 year old granddaughter to ride him supervised in a small arena in walk and trot and he looks after her beautifully.

Over the past eleven months he has attended and enjoyed many pole work clinics, flat work lessons, general schooling sessions and some hacking on and off site. He is great with large vehicles and farm tractors, trailers, working machinery, lorries horse boxes etc. Also all road traffic he has met.

More recently he has started to attended jumping clinics showing a beautiful natural bascule over a fence (generally 70-80 courses showing scope for much more) Recently clearing 1.05/1.10 during a fun event. He has also participated in X country training really finding his feet, covering the ground well and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

He has started some unaffiliated competition and has been successful at dressage, show jumping and showing.

He truly has the makings of a great alrounder turning his hoof to anything with a smile on his face!

He does sound rather perfect doesn't he?

Which reading this ad makes me wonder why I'm selling him?

As I've said my health is deteriorating and is not likely to improve. He came into my life following the devastating loss of my previous horse and helped me through and I've thoroughly enjoyed his company. But he deserves to find a longer term home where he can be given further training and opportunity to thrive and reach his true potential.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to come and meet this wonderful boy. He is kept in livery on a large equestrian centre with excellent facilities.

Price negotiable to the right home. With tack, rugs etc again negotiable within price.
