  • Most willing and honest mare you will meet

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.

On the ground, rosie has impeccable manners and will happily stand tied up all day long being groomed and fussed all over.

She excels in her flatwork, she has three lovely paces her trot is the one that makes her stand out. In my personal opinion, rosie would be suited to a variety of riders looking to do a bit of everything, specially dressage , thanks to the way she moves.

She will happily pop over a jump 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 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

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

Quality piebald mare

Quality piebald mare


Ref #: 396569
  • Forward going, sensible hack
  • Owned and bred by us, so full knowledge
  • Equal Woah and Go
£8,500 ONO
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 14.3hh / 150cm
  • Forward going, sensible hack
  • Owned and bred by us, so full knowledge
  • Equal Woah and Go

We have bred and owned Mulligan all her life. She has always been super easy to do, so much so, shes always the one who gets left, and not ridden. Whilst I find her super easy, and if anything, I like it when shes not been ridden for a month and is a little fresh, we have had a few try her and found her too forward for them.

There is no need to kick on this mare, leg on means go. She marchs in walk and trots out, keeping up with any horse. She loves a canter across the fields and tracks, but pulls up easy in a snaffle.

Personally I find circles in an arena boring, (plus we don’t have an arena) so we do not do it. If you want a dressage horse, you will need to put the work in, as our idea of fun is hacking. However she has been to dressage and show jump shows with a friend many years ago, so the buttons will still be there, its up to you if you want them, and if so you might need to re program.

Her forte is hacking, heavy traffic is no issue, gates she’s a pro, she’s safe in open spaces, she goes first or last, and is confident on her own.

You can ride and lead her, or from her, so super easy.

She is a unit, i’m 5ft6 and she takes up my leg, and some, I’ve never felt too big for her. Shes super comfortable to ride with plenty of neck and shoulder in front of you.

She is only for sale as I’ve bred myself a taller version and if she gets ridden once a fortnight she’s done well.

If you are into your gypsy cob breeding you will see she has great breeding, and is very correct if you wanted to show.

She needs her own person, but if you are coming from a riding school, are used to kicking every stride, or are hoping for a mother daughter share for your ten year old who is still struggling with rising trot, she is unlikely to be for you, you are likely to feel over horsed.

She is kind, super fun and gives you a great fun ride.

She is and has always been barefoot, easy to clip, bath, spray etc. She is vaccinated, has had a foal (we are a stud) three years ago which she did easily and her foal is still with us (also for sale).

Her ideal home is someone who wants to hack out, have a good canter across fields, do some fun rides etc

We have them in each night, and in the winter we have little / no turnout and she’s happy to stay in 24/7. She doesn’t get fresh or silly when in.

The home and person is every important, as she is a member of our family, but she is surplus to needs at the moment, and she could give someone a lot of fun.

She has a Kent & Masters saddle, Seddon bridle and a larger wardrobe than me that I’m happy to discuss

Norman is schooled three lovely paces, always quick to learn and a pleasure to deal with.

He has lived both in and out, living alongside mares and geldings, he is a perfect companion to all in the field.

Itsy Bitsy is a great horse. She's easy to look after and not a plod when ridden. She's forward going and goes at the front or behind. I haven't done much schooling but she loves learning stuff, and has been excellent in lessons, trotting over poles etc.

She has lots of feather and minimal mallanders and sallanders, easily kept in order with application of suitable creams. No mites. She's happy to be brushed etc and picks up her feet nicely.

She was shown as a yearling by her breeders and won her classes at The Great Yorkshire Show, CHAPS Championship Show and Highland Show.

Broken to ride age 5, she has been used as a happy hacker. It is unlikely she can be bred from, she has minimal seasons.

A sad sale, but I just don't have the time to ride. Itsy Bitsy loves hacking.

I'm looking for a lovely home for her. Itsy has an extensive wardrobe of rugs, saddle, bridle, leather head collars, and as I'm giving up horse ownership, most of it will be available to the new owner.

Searching For A Sensible Family Friend / Allrounder To Enjoy Hacking, Pleasure Rides & Clinics

  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh. Age 6 -14 yrs.
  • Confident Hacking Out / Meeting Farm Vehicles. Sensible To Hack In A Group / At Pleasure Rides.
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type.

I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

15.2hh 5yo British Bred Irish Draught Mare – “Dorothy” – Exceptional Breeding, Quality and Temperament, 9.5” bone

Sire : Aye Aye Skipper
Dam : Ashill Silver Lady (Fast Silver)

Dorothy came to us as an unbroken youngster and we have really taken our time with her, she hasn’t been rushed and overworked for her age like a lot of the pure breds on the current market
She was left until she was 4.5yr old to be brought in and started and was given the time to mature and develop which we believe has really paid off.

Old fashioned stamp of a pure bred Irish Draught mare with beautiful conformation, movement and all the attributes to excel in a variety of disciplines.

She has been carefully and correctly produced with her future in mind, never rushed and always given time to mature. She is now progressing nicely in her education, working in a soft, correct outline on the flat, she moves beautifully with nice transitions and has started popping a small fence with a willing and trainable attitude.

Dorothy is a pleasure to have on the yard and truly is the sweetest mare inside and out – a real yard favourite who will be very sadly missed. She is good to hack both alone and in company, and takes everything in her stride.

She is easy to do in all ways – good to clip, bath, farrier, and dentist. She has a laid-back, kind temperament and does not need to be in constant work, making her easy to pick up and enjoy even after time off.

This is a genuine quality mare with a bright future ahead. She is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and has all the potential to excel as a top show cob or a genuine, high-class allrounder.

Totally clean legs, no vices, no lumps or bumps, easy to catch, load, handle, trim (with clippers) bath, farrier etc

Up to date with vaccines, farrier (barefoot) dentist and worming.

A very special mare looking for a 5?? home, always been very well loved and will only go to the best homes

Lordy – 7yo | 15.2hh | Bay Welsh Section D Gelding

£2,000 | Old Sodbury

A genuinely heartbreaking sale of a much loved horse.

Lordy has been with the same owner since he was 3 years old, having been purchased directly from his breeder. He is a lovely, kind horse, but he is naturally a nervous character and needs someone experienced who can take the time to build his confidence at his own pace.

Because of his nature, Lordy will be sold from the field based on his videos only. He simply won’t cope with lots of different people coming to ride him, and we want to do right by him by finding the right person rather than putting him through endless viewings.

Lordy has been backed and is a pleasure to hack. He is sensible in traffic, well used to farm machinery, and is happy to go first or last. Hacking is where he is most confident and relaxed.

In the arena, he is still very much learning. He doesn’t fully understand what’s being asked of him yet and can occasionally shoot forward for a few strides when he becomes unsure. There is absolutely no malice in him, it’s simply a confidence and understanding issue. He genuinely tries his heart out, and once something clicks with him, he remembers it.

Sadly, Lordy’s owner is more novice and since arriving with us on training livery it has become clear that he isn’t the right horse for a less experienced rider. As difficult as this decision has been, they want to give him the opportunity to reach his full potential with someone who has the knowledge, patience, and time he deserves.

There is so much to like about Lordy. He is a beautiful mover, kind, genuine, and eager to please. He has excellent feet and is barefoot, is up to date with everything, and is a picture of health.

Lordy does have sweet itch, but this is well managed with a fly rug and has never prevented him from enjoying life.

We truly believe Lordy has all the ingredients to become someone’s horse of a lifetime. He just needs that special person willing to invest the time to let him grow into the horse we know he can be.

£2,000

Currently on training/sales livery with us and based in Old Sodbury.

Please get in touch if you feel you could offer Lordy the experienced, understanding home he deserves.

Flashy is a true gentleman in every way he has impeccable manners and is very sensible for his age.

He currently stands around 13.2 but has more growing and maturing to do.

He is substantial enough to carry a small adult but has the perfect temperament for a child.

He has been shown numerous times in hand and has expressive uphill paces.

He is well used to show ‘prep’ and is easy to groom , bath, chalk , tail bag, hood etc….

He travels and loads brilliantly and is easy for me to take out on my own.

He happily turns out with mares or geldings , loves his stable and makes no fuss if left alone.

He has done lots of inhand hacking alone and in company where he has met dogs , bikes , pushchairs etc…. He is good in the traffic we have met to date.

He is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard and has a kind an easy temperament he is sadly looking for a new family as unfortunately he isn’t going to be big enough for me. He has been long reining and taken to it really well. Happily wears tack and has been sat on.

Unfortunately with no small rider I can’t continue his education he is such a lovely pony and deserves his own person, he will make a fabulous family pony or junior tgca cob.

The right home is paramount no dealers please

He is fully vaccinated, upto date with the farrier and worming

Lots of pictures on request and he is open to vet

🌟 Goldie 🌟 15hh | 10-year-old Cob Mare | Ridden & Drive Trained

💛 £6,500 ono – Priced to sell due to a change in circumstances.

Goldie is a genuine, kind mare I’ve owned and produced over the last 4 years. She’s been my first pony and this is an incredibly difficult sale, so finding her the right home is my priority.

❤️ What she’s done:

✅ Lovely on the flat with a soft outline and balanced paces.

✅ Enjoys pole work and is careful with her feet.

✅ Fantastic to hack alone or in company – happy for miles, good in traffic and sensible with all types of vehicles.

✅ Ridden by children and beginners.

✅ Has taken part in charity/special needs rides and always looked after her riders.

✅ Ridden and drive trained.

🦄 Jumping

Goldie has competed successfully at unaffiliated shows up to 80cm, regularly placing in the top three. While she has previously enjoyed jumping, she now seems much happier with hacking, schooling and pole work, so I’m looking for a home that enjoys those activities rather than a competition career.

🏡 Home

Goldie is a loving mare with plenty of personality. When she gets excited she can occasionally offer a small buck or rear, so she isn’t suitable as a first horse for a novice rider. With a confident, sympathetic rider she’s a pleasure to own.

✔ Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, physio and saddle checks.

⭐ 5⭐ home is an absolute must for this special girl.

Max is a beautiful, much sought after, stamp of horse. He combines bone and presence but is light on his feet and not a cob like ride!


He is a super quality 5yr old, 16.2hh ID X ISH (white book no breeding recorded) gelding. He was purchased from Ireland last Novembe. Max had done some hunting and lots of hacking in Ireland. He was then professionally produced on further in England. He has been hunting and proved sensible, careful and bold. He has attended numerous arena hires, clear round shows, and dressage shows (at intro level due to having a rather larger than life canter!) Max has always proved to have an exceptional attitude towards his education and has taken everything in his stride.


Max is working sweetly on the flat, he has a nice mouth and wants to go to the contact and work correctly. His walk and trot are super, his canter is slightly green as he is a big boy and needs to strengthen up to learn and be capable of collection! He is willing in his brain, has a lovely trainable attitude. He has been to intro dressage tests, and was fabulous in the warm up arena and in the boards.


Max is good to hack alone or in company. He is bombproof in heavy traffic/motorbikes and quads. He is a young horse, and despite how rock solid he is in traffic he still is only the age he is, so if a pheasant flies up underneath him or something jumps out he may have a bit of a spook/jump, but this is to be expected with his age.


Max is very sweet to jump, he is capable of being very good over a fence with a good technique in front, and behind. As stated previously his canter is a little green so he really would benefit from strengthening work to improve the canter and therefore jumping a course fluently in the canter. He is good over fillers, he will trot and pop or canter to a fence.


Max is good to clip, shoe, load on a trailer or 3.5 tonne lorry. He is good to travel, bath, catch. Good to pull his mane etc. he is a lovely horse to have around. He turns out alone/ in a heard / with mares or geldings.


He has no health issues, he has a clean vet cert, and set of X-rays of front feet (due to clients previous experiences with own other horse). Max is for sale through no fault of his own, due to owners change in personal circumstances. In the last couple of months he has predominantly been doing lots of hacking and fun rides and some arena hires.


Not suitable for a total novice as is a young horse.


Fitted tack available at negotiation.
