Walter - 14.3hh, 7 Years, Gelding. Stunning Coloured Dun Cob. Massive Weight Carrier

Safe Confidence Giver
Ideal First Horse / Nervous Rider / RDA
Fantastic All-Rounder / Happy Hacker / Schoolmaster Type

Walter is a kind, well-mannered and exceptionally genuine cob with a fantastic temperament and a wealth of experience. He is the definition of safe, steady and sensible, making him the ideal confidence giver for nervous, novice or less experienced riders, whilst still being enjoyable and responsive enough for a more capable rider wanting to progress and have fun.

Stunning unique coloured cob

Although incredibly calm and forgiving, Walter responds well off the leg and has three excellent paces, he moves beautifully with energy and enthusiasm when asked. He is never spooky, sharp or silly in any way, remaining relaxed and level headed at all times. He is extremely willing and enjoys jumping, happily popping around coloured and rustic fences with a quiet, sensible attitude.

A true snaffle-mouth schoolmaster with no gadgets required.

Walter is currently working in a riding school where he is ridden 3 / 4 days a week by riders of all abilities, from complete beginners on the lead rein, nervous riders and RDA clients through to more experienced jockeys. He takes part in flatwork lessons, private lessons, group sessions, low-level jumping and dressage classes, always proving himself genuine, patient and reliable.

He absolutely loves hacking and is one of the safest horses imaginable out on the roads or in open spaces. He hacks alone or in company and is equally happy at the front, middle or back of the ride. He never pulls, rushes, naps or becomes strong and remains calm and collected in even the busiest environments.

Walter is completely unfazed by extremely heavy traffic including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors, trailers and farm machinery. Nothing bothers him. He is equally mannerly and sensible across open fields and will happily canter in company without getting strong or excitable, even on the way home.

On the ground, Walter has impeccable manners and is an absolute pleasure to handle. He will happily stand for hours being groomed without even needing a headcollar on. He has no vices whatsoever in the stable, field or when ridden and is safe and easy for anyone to handle.

He lives out happily in a mixed herd but is equally content stabled. He keeps himself to himself and never causes any trouble. He is excellent to catch, load, clip, shoe, bath and for the farrier, dentist and vet. Currently barefoot with excellent feet.

Walter would happily turn his hoof to hunting, fun rides, beach rides, riding club activities, low-level eventing or showjumping. He is the sort that gives his rider complete confidence whatever the activity. In his previous home has did low level competitions and Pony club.

He does not need riding every day and can happily have weeks / months off work then be tacked up and ridden away without fuss. He is extremely low-maintenance and straightforward to keep.

He has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any lameness issues. No lumps, bumps or blemishes.

He passes annual riding school licence inspections, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

A genuinely heartbreaking sale of a much-loved horse, only available as we are reducing numbers due to the riding school becoming extremely quiet.

Five-star private home only for this outstanding gelding.

We have several other horses and ponies available as we continue to reduce numbers. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

If genuinely interested, please CALL rather than text or email, as messages cannot always be replied to immediately.

Turns 6 in November (?!). No recorded breeding but New Forest passport (?!) We’ve had this absolute legend, since a 2 yo and ADORE him, he’s just sadly totally wasted with us and deserves more action.

Broken to tack although ridden under a dozen times in his whole life. Ace in harness for pub trips, Frampton country fair, Naunton Donkey Derby, autumn hunting with The Heythrop etc. Again low mileage but has absolutely aced anything we’ve ever asked him to do.

Microchipped and up to date with teeth, flu, feet, worming. Lives out on fresh air alone, incredibly low maintenance with not a sick or sorry day to his name. The most charming, genuine, willing lad you could hope to meet. Would be a fun project for someone to do absolutely anything and everything with.

Homes will be throughly vetted

  • Brave as a lion

Nellie is the definition of a sports cob! She absolutely loves whatever you throw at her and has a fabulous can do attitude. Nellie has been professionally broken last year and has been with me to see the world!

I cannot say enough good about her, her flatwork is coming on and she would now be ready to be out doing some dressage tests. Her trot is well balanced and her canter is starting to sit up. Jumping wise she takes is all in her stride, i have been to arena hires where she is un-phased by fillers and the surroundings. She takes you totally by surprise with her scope, and i believe in the right home with correct schooling there is much more to come. She has been XC schooling a handful of times popping in the water, over ditches and steps. She has been to Dallas and popped round as a pair like a dream.

She is more than ready to go out and do some little ODEs to continue her education.

To hack she is total fun, sensible but not a plod, loves to have a job and to get on and have a canter!

I cannot say enough good about this mare!

She has travelled on my 7.5t and is easy to load, currently bare foot.

She is not a beginners pony or for someone who is nervous but a fantastic allrounder for someone to produce further and have so much fun with!

Full History known selling on behalf of breeder

A top home is an almost must for the is special mare.

Please no time wasters or joy riders.


Stunning future allrounder Maesmynach Locket


Ref #: 409044

  • Welsh Section D
  • Dark bay
  • Filly
  • 3 years
  • 15.1 hands
  • Beautiful temperament
  • Should excel in any sphere
  • Has been sat on
Figgy is such a beautiful mare, loves fuss and cuddles and will stand all day to be pampered. She’s good for trims with the farrier, can be clipped with no head collar on.

She will side up to anything so you can hop on and can be ridden bareback down to her field in just a head collar, she’s gone for lots of in hand walking adventures round the woods, to the pub and through the village, she’s calm in traffic and loves getting out and about, so whilst not properly backed or ridden away just yet, she will be breeze to start, just tack up and go.

She’s done some in hand agility classes and showing classes, some in hand shows and loads and travels well. You don’t need to go catch her, she comes running. Happy with cows and pigs and farm traffic. An all round superstar who is utterly stunning and will make a wonderful allrounder be that for showing, dressage or jumping. Beautifully bred by the Maesmynach stud.

She lives out with access to shelter, turns out in a herd, hates being rugged unless it’s very wet and you’re using a zero fill, she gets very hot if rugged and just sweats - never feels the cold. Can be stabled but would be miserable if turned out alone or didn’t have access to daily turnout. On the ground if you keep on top of her manners she’s a sweetheart.

5* home a must, she deserves to be someone’s everything.

Would love to stay in touch / have the odd update. Open to vetting. Can transport her for you depending on distance. Up to date with teeth (& Wolf teeth removed last year) & vaccinations all UTD. No vices or health concerns, open to any vet. Gloucestershire.

Now here’s a needle in a haystack that you’ll struggle to find again ….

Oscar - Welsh x sports horse type , 16hh, 14yo , gelding

No lumps and bumps. No vices

Kind and easy to do everything with!! Love in or out. He wants to be your best friend. Does require patience to clip but is doable! Loads and travels on any trailer or lorry

This lad has quite the CV !! Where shall I start?
3rd at the world championship pentathlon taking multiple riders of multiple abilities around
Jumped a few 1m20 ‘s in his prime
Had been a real winner and school master in the last few years jumping from 90-1m
Jumped all the qualifier classes and is a super competitive type
Gave laughs, memories , and confidence to every member of his family! Same as he’s now doing here for my yard girls !!
He really is the legend of this , and any other yard! You just don’t find them like this anymore

He goes nicely on the flat. Walk to canters, clockwork changes etc but he’s not a dressage horse! Always in a snaffle

Oscar is very forward to a fence. In a positive way! Totally keen and committed that’s all! Very busy way of going without actually going anywhere! It’s as plain and simple as , if you want to win, so does he , you’re going to win! He’s very careful, turn on a sixpence and never get upset with you if you’re on a big misser! He will always help! As much as he’s a bit of a pocket rocket , he’s totally sane and will jump a lovely steady round for you. He goes according to what button you press. He’d be a real school master for a teen

Loves his hacking. Will go in any traffic alone or in company and is a real reliable sort. Impeccable mannerisms in open spaces , jumps XC fences with ease. Been in funrides also and loves those days out! Would also be more than happy just being someone’s happy hack!

He has had novices on but he is forward and busy so won’t suit a nervous novice.ore suited to a competitive teen type of home

Oscar is not the best mover , I can’t see him passing a vetting, I think that’s would be unfair and a waste of time. He’s going to suit someone who wants to have a blast, be safe, and ride the horse that’s infront of them rather than the piece of paper. That’s why he’s not 15k

Multiple videos available as well as professional references

Clipped , fit, shod, in work and ready for a new best friend

  • Make outstanding hunter
  • Loves his jumping
  • ridden by small teenage girl

Registered name is Scrapmans Adonis 16.2hh 6 yrs full ID by Scrapman X Mountain Diamond

Big solid chap who will make someone a super hunter / pleasure rides/ all rounder type. Donny has been in the same home with small lady owner since unbroken 4 year old. He’s been started very slowly and allowed plenty of time to mature. He’s takes up the leg very well and although on the larger side is a light ride and has potential in the school, it’s not really his favourite thing though so he’s probably more suited to a home who will do more fun things with him.

Donny loves his jumping and is very brave and genuine, he’s never said no he will be a real weapon once tuned up and a bit fitter. He’s good round a full set of show jumps and loves XC schooling.

Hunted 3 times last season with the Surrey Union and was good, jumped everything asked of him with novice rider on board. He’s made for hunting, and although not a made hunter yet, shows all the attributes required to not only look smart but also be good across the country.

Donny hacks alone and in company , his preference is company but with an assertive rider is quite happy to go on his own. We feel this is just greenness and he continues to get better and braver! He’s been good in all traffic met to date, farm machinery, livestock, riding to the pub … none of this has bothered him and he’s always happy hacking with his ears pricked.

He’s a low maintenance chap and enjoys field life with his friends. He’s quite happy living out all year but will come in if he must. Currently out nights with us and super friendly with the other horses in the field. Donny is good to catch, box, shoe, clip but he’s not a cuddly fellow around people and prefers his own space, pulls faces over the door and silently swears at you. Horse savvy experienced owner would definitely suit him better.

  • He is ready to put miles on him but obviously not for novice or nervous riders.
Fantastic Frank is sadly up for sale. He was supposed to be brought into work after winter but we lack a rider. .

He was professionally and sympathetic backed by the best producer in our area. Frank has proven to be easy to teach and retains easily what he has learned. He is however super green and not suitable for novice or nervous rider.

He will make in the future a super pony, with some serious speed and scope in him. I can see him as a perfect riding club /pony club horse and will be great for hunt and pleasure rides. He will stand with a rider on him at the block for 30 min without moving a foot. He is that hard to find sort.

He is sweet, loves attention and can be cheeky as his is after all a young horse. He is the favourite of our holiday let guests. Frank has one blue and one brown eye.

He loads like a pro and travels fine for the limited times we had to take him. Frank is good to clip and with the farrier. He is up to date with his teeth and vaccinations. Easy to catch. He hasn’t been lame or ill for the time we’ve had him.

I have loads of videos/ photos of Frank available from when he was backed and general photos.

She is the dream pub ride horse! Would be delighted to ride to the local farm shop for a coffee and cake…

Tracey has hunted with The EDH. She was mannerly in the field & has jumped a handful of hunt fences. She has always done what is asked of her and has the potential to excel as a hunter with the experience under her belt.

She’s enjoyed by riders of all abilities including novices - she’s the type the whole family can enjoy!

She has been XC schooling on grass & has a lovely attitude to her work, she is a big young horse therefore we haven’t overproduced or over faced her.

Dam Sire: Mountain Pearl

Lovely allrounder / RC horse.

Super chilled boy who’s schooling nicely on the flat (but can be a little lazy) and jumping small fences well. He comes into a fence nice and steady and just gives everything enough jump. Currently seems comfortable around 70cm, I’m sure as he gets fitter and stronger this will improve.

Doesn’t seem spooky or silly at all.

Previously been to:
• Beach rides
• Arena hires
• Unaffiliated dressage (1st at Intro with 70.9%)
• Unaffiliated clear round

Merlin is good to hack alone and in company.
Great to clip and for the farrier.

Merlin can be prone to a tight back which is currently managed with regular physiotherapy. For this reason, he would not be suited to a jumping-focused home but would excel as a lovely allrounder or riding club horse.

15.2hh Piebald Gelding | 9 Years | Outstanding Allrounder with Presence

CHAPS Passport

Numpty is a striking 15.2hh piebald gelding, 9 years old, with a huge personality and presence to match. A true “sports horse in a cob body” – forward-thinking, enthusiastic, and always keen to work. He is a real substantial traditional cob.

He is a versatile allrounder with experience across multiple disciplines including;

Hunting, where he has jumped hedges, rails, walls, ditches, traps etc. He has been hunted by other people. He even took a friend for her first ever days hunting. Often holding gates for the field to pass through. Will stand impeccably at meets and between lines.

Showjumping, arena hires, pole clinics, cross-country schooling, hunter trials, team chasing, dressage, endless funrides and showing. He is consistently placed in the ribbons. He has also stewarded at hunt scurries and will happily lead other horses. He doesn’t get fizzy or silly at any event, he will stand around quietly whether on the box, tied up or mounted.

An absolute pleasure to hack, super safe!! Forward going. Completely unfazed by traffic and excellent with gates. He will happily stand patiently while gates are opened and closed, whether mounted or dismounted. He will allow a rider to mount from anything.

He adapts well and can plod along quietly on the lead rein or take care of a novice rider, including unbalanced riders. He has been hacked out along a busy A road by a complete beginner! He does not react to other horses being stupid, he’s the type to stand and wait if another horse takes off, often takes the lead past scary objects! He doesn’t get silly in open spaces will happily walk through a field. Respectful of what you ask from him. He has been regularly ridden and competed by my competent now 11-year-old daughter, who also hacks him out alone.

He’s best suited to a confident, consistent rider/handler to get the best from him.

Forward-going in the school if you ask him to be with a willing attitude and three correct paces. With his eye-catching markings and presence, he would excel in the showing ring. Equally enjoys just being a happy hacker.


* Excellent to load and travel in a trailer; stands quietly for long periods
* Happy to stand tied to the box for hours or remain on board
* Good for the farrier
* Can live in or out; happy alone or in company
* Easy to keep—lives on fresh air
* Fit and ready to go
* Great to catch and lead
* Used to the hustle and bustle of a busy working farm

Bad points - he can’t be perfect with everything!

* Requires sedation for clipping - only hogged for hunt season
* Windsucks occasionally after hard feed/treats (not always and does go days even weeks without doing it) will typically do this in the air for a few seconds. Solution would be no hard feed/treats.
* Has a couple of very small sarcoids on his sheath, haven’t changed in the years I’ve owned him, could be treated but have never bothered me. You would never notice them unless pointed out.

A very difficult and genuine sale of a much-loved horse. Owned for nearly 3 years. Sadly, I have had to accept that he is just too quiet for me, and it is time for him to find someone who will fully enjoy and appreciate him.

A real head-turner who is always complimented wherever he goes!!

Absolutely no dealers or nervous/novices. Long term private home sought after!! A home where I could ideally keep in touch.

Open to any vet/inspection

Toby is a 15.2hh Irish cob based South Yorkshire.

To hack he is 100% safe in all traffic doesn’t get strong in open fields and he’s not the spooky type.

In the school he has 3 nice paces. He loves a good jump especially out at XC. Toby has hunted in Ireland before I got him and I think he would really enjoy it.

On the ground anybody could lead him he’s used to being around dogs and farm machinery. Tack available at extra cost.

Only the best 5 star home wanted as it’s a sad genuine sale please get intouch for anymore information pictures and videos Thankyou.
