  • Veteran

A rare opportunity to purchase a genuine top-class show cob with an exceptional record. Having won at both HOYS and the Royal International, he has competed and succeeded at the very highest level and still has plenty to offer his next owner.

He is a true gentleman with the most wonderful temperament. Kind, genuine, and easy to do in every way, he is regularly ridden by my 10-year-old niece and is a pleasure both on the ground and under saddle.

He loves his work, enjoys jumping, and has successfully competed in Working Show Horse classes alongside his impressive showing career. With his quality, presence, and proven track record, he would easily be competitive in Veteran classes and could continue to enjoy a successful career in the show ring.

He hacks happily in company but can be nervous when ridden out alone, so we are looking for a home that will suit his needs and allow him to thrive.

Good to clip, load, travel, and for the farrier. A straightforward horse to own and a much-loved member of the family.

This is a genuinely heartbreaking sale due to a change in career meaning he is no longer getting the time and attention he deserves. He is far too talented and special to be wasted in a field and deserves a home where he can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Based in North Lincolnshire

  • 15.1hh October 2020 super genuine little mare
  • Reason for sale - retirement of owner/rider
  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved

Striking, unspooky and very easy, friendly 15.1hh black cob mare (born October 2020) with significant presence who has been out and about locally and on fun rides - ridden by all ages (64-12).

She has the potential to do a lot more in the right hands but will never be a world beater. She has been hacked out on an “as and when” basis over the last 2 years owing to my life circumstances. This speaks well for her as she is reliably safe despite the irregularity of exercise and education. I am an older lady rider, now looking to retire from riding and want to see her fully optimised as the LOVELY horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse I know she can become.


This little horse moves nicely and is happy to pop a log and is happy with trotting poles and cross poles but has had no “formal” schooling. She can be hacked on the buckle end, is reliable in open spaces, never takes hold and is more whoa than go-go-go. She would be brilliant as a loving family horse and happy hacker with the potential to do low level dressage/ showing/xc .

We live on country lanes and she is good with the local traffic. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot – the guns do not worry her at all. Never even noticed when she is in season - totally unmareish.


She is ready for a loving owner who will be consistent and who wants to teach her and/or learn with her. (Please note however that due solely to her age and size and my desire to see her progress she will NOT be sold to a novice or unconfident rider/handler). She is bright and highly teachable - as such she will quickly become “that horse” that many riders want. I have not given her the consistency or next step of schooling and life experience she deserves and I would like to see her being brought on and taken out and about intelligently and kindly with a view to being her owner’s “life horse”. She has had a great and happy start here with groundwork, hacking and slow, steady and kind life experience. She is snaffle mouthed.


She has been clipped the last two winters. Barefoot with good hard feet although she was shod when I got her two years ago. She is good to load and easy to handle. She lives in or out – solo or company & is a good doer. (She has been predominantly with mares although her first summer here she shared a field with a gelding and was fine.) She can be a bit bossy in the field to others but only pulling faces and chasing off. She respects electric fencing and does not eat the wood on post and rail fencing. She is unfazed being left on her own in the stable or when her friends leave her from the field and is always pleased to see you when you come to the gate either to say hello or take her in for a groom/ride. Never been sick or sorry.


No timewasters , purchase agreements or loans . 5* home only and, please, only people ready to commit. Please text for a chat and further information . I can then send pictures and videos.

  • Owned since a foal, never thought id sell as hes a very special horse! Absolute gentleman!

Where do I start! I purchased Hercules as a foal from Ireland. As a 3 year old I showed him in hand a a few local venues taking Champion a few times. Feb 2023 he was backed, April 2023 his under saddle competition career started.

So when he was 4 years old he was:
* Nottinghamshire County Show Champion and qualified for LIHS
* Stars Champion of Champions Hunter Champion
*LIHS Middleweight/Heavyweight Hunter Championship 9th with a friend riding him
*won numerous championships showing at various venues

5 years of age
*LIHS Middleweight/Heavyweight Hunter Championship 2nd with me riding him
*Competed Novice and Ele British Dressage scoring up to 75.4%
*British Dressage Associate Draught Championships, Novice & Elementary Champion
* won numerous championships showing at various venues

6 years of age:
*Competed in x3 Medium British dressage scoring between 69-72%
*Qualified for Associate British Dressage Draught Championships at Ele and Medium level (didn’t go to Championships as I the rider had surgery)
*Qualified LIHS Middleweight/Heavyweight Hunter Championship (didn’t go to Championships as I had surgery)

When Hercules was 4 years of age my friends 5 year old daughter rode him in the arena, walk, trotting, circles, he was in an outline it was VERY special to watch. He is genuinely the safest horse to ride there is! Hercules is very trainable and takes everything in his stride, his lateral work, half passes he gets 7.5’s for, his extended trot he can now get a 7 for and every score sheet there's plenty of 7.5 even the odd 8!

He's done numerous fun rides, gallops, beach rides, proving safe and sensible, never getting strong or silly. He's jumped logs and small xc jumps but nothing big. I've not jumped him at home other than the odd cross pole as its not my thing!
I said that id never sell Hercules as he's the most special horse I've ever owned, however I'm 51 and my body is struggling. I've had more down time than ridable time for the past 10 months from surgeries and I've decided to sell both horses as my body unfortunately isn’t coping!

Last March Hercules started to make a noise so July last year he had a successful tie back operation which now means he makes NO noise when ridden and is now able to go out and win any showing class. He also has more energy for the dressage so it was a wise decision made last year.

Hercules has the most adorable temperament and is easy in every way! The only thing he doesn’t like is tractors, wagons and water! I don’t hack him from home as our road is 60mph and he isn’t great with big vehicles but I have trailered him to other locations and hacked him where the roads are quieter and he's fine. On fun rides he doesn’t like to get his feet wet!

Hercules has no vices, blemishes, he has clean legs, no lumps or bumps, good feet and a beautiful brain! I'm very particular who buys Hercules as I love this horse.

Hugo – 16.1hh | 4 Year Old | Registered Irish Draught

A real quality Irish Draught with the looks, movement, manners, and temperament to match. He has the kindest personality and is the sort anybody would be proud to own.

An outstanding all-round horse with a brilliant future ahead of him — suitable for someone wanting a safe, genuine, and beautiful horse to enjoy and progress with.

  • Super Safe Confidence Giver
  • 100% in every way

What can I tell you about my boy. He has given me 6 years of absolute pleasure. Given me so much confidence to get out and enjoy horse riding again.

Norman will hack anywhere and carry anyone, from a complete novice to stepping up for the confident. He will go in any traffic, from main roads to country lanes. Will squeeze on the grass verge for tractors to pass. He will look after you and ensure you come home smiling.

He has been professionally schooled although he prefers getting out rather than going round a school.

Will travel in a trailer or lorry, in company or alone. Will stand happily tied for hours. Loves a good pressure wash. Live in or out. Stays in the field alone. In fact he is just brilliant to do anything and everything with.

Taken me on many fun rides. Pops a log, not a show jumper though. I adore him. Barefoot with really strong feet, up to date with teeth, vacs and worming.

Now if you want to school him every day then I won’t sell him to you. I can’t say he will jump 80cm as he probably won’t, and we don’t have a ménage to trial him.

If you want something to be part of your family, to put a smile on his riders face, and know that you will always come home safe then get in touch.

Never been sick or sorry whilst with us. Only looking for new home as I have another horse and no time.

I genuinely will only sell to the right home

  • Kind, genuine young pony with quality movement and plenty of potential.
  • No vices, fantastic temperament, full history known.

Victor is a lovely registered Welsh Section D gelding with a kind temperament and a willing attitude. He has been produced slowly giving him plenty of time to mature, and is now ready for someone to continue his education.

He has hacked alone and in company and works in all three paces in the school, although green he is straightforward and genuine. He is forward-going without being sharp and is ridden in a snaffle.

Victor is a quality pony with plenty of presence, he’s beautifully put together and moves well. He’s a pleasure to handle, loves attention, enjoys human company, and has a kind nature. He lives happily in or out, mixes well in a herd, and has no stable vices.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming. Full history known since being purchased from his breeder as a yearling.

Victor would suit an experienced teenager or small adult looking for a quality pony to produce further and enjoy. While he is kind, sensible and genuine, he is still a young horse with a green education, so he would not be suitable for a novice or nervous rider at this stage. I’d love to see him go to a knowledgeable home where he can continue to progress and fulfil his potential.

A genuine young pony with a lovely temperament and lots to offer. Videos available on request.

Here he is! Stunning dun cob gelding! Dun. Irish cob . Gelding . 8yo. 16.2hh

Stable name - Buddy

-Kind nature
-Great temperament
-Becomes part of the family

Buddy has got one of the nicest temperaments you will ever find in a horse. He loves having fuss and attention and will stand to be groomed and pampered for hours.

He is a great allrounder. He schools lovely on the flat and has three balanced paces.

He definitely one to make it to hoys or county level. He is a great versatile cob he also has a lovely jump and has proven to be very willing and honest to a fence. Also recently been xc schooling which he has proven to be very brave and honest.

He is good to hack alone or in company. Not phased by farm machinery or the heaviest of traffic. In my opinion I truly believe you would be a life time trying to find his double.

This gelding is top quality and one that will go far! I believe he would be a great hoys contender for a maxi cob or show hunter.

He is good to load and travel.
Upto date to all vacs, teeth, back etc

Been to a local show this weekend ridden by an 18yo and he was foot perfect all day!

Not suitable for novices as he is a cob with a job!

Can live in or out with mares or geldings
Good to catch load travel shoe clip ect

Nicely put together and as much as he’d be happy spending his days polling about on hacks ect he is also nice and correct enough to show.
He’s been to beach rides Forrest rides pole clinics ect
He has also been driven he’s been in all sorts of carts and trolleys and he has also pulled a living wagon to Appleby.
He’d suit any RDA carriage Driving or perhaps someone wanting to get into Driving as you don’t get a straight to Horse then him.

I hunt the country every day for cobs like him and they’re hard to find let alone replace
He didn’t really need a big fancy write up , he is what he is and whoever comes to buy him won’t be disappointed.

Working in all 3 paces in arena and starting to learn what it’s all about, he’d definitely pull off a sweet little test in time.
Been XC schooling and was really honest and tried hard, pops away happily. He’s not going to be the next Milton but he’ll give it a go!
He is an absolute pet on the ground and not a bargy type of cob. He absolutely lives for a groom and a fuss and would stand and be pampered all day long.
Super type that will go off and do a variety of things but equally would happily hack for the rest of his life.
Very easy chap to have around, not a stressy type he goes with the flow and takes everything in his stride.

  • 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.

UNCOMPLICATED, SAFE, SENSIBLE and SMART COB MARE

  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved

  • 15.1hh October 2020 super genuine little mare
  • Reason for sale - retirement of owner/rider
  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved

Striking, unspooky and very easy, friendly 15.1hh black cob mare (born October 2020) with significant presence who has been out and about locally and on fun rides - ridden by all ages (64-12).

She has the potential to do a lot more in the right hands but will never be a world beater. She has been hacked out on an “as and when” basis over the last 2 years owing to my life circumstances. This speaks well for her as she is reliably safe despite the irregularity of exercise and education. I am an older lady rider, now looking to retire from riding and want to see her fully optimised as the LOVELY horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse I know she can become.


This little horse moves nicely and is happy to pop a log and is happy with trotting poles and cross poles but has had no “formal” schooling. She can be hacked on the buckle end, is reliable in open spaces, never takes hold and is more whoa than go-go-go. She would be brilliant as a loving family horse and happy hacker with the potential to do low level dressage/ showing/xc .

We live on country lanes and she is good with the local traffic. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot – the guns do not worry her at all. Never even noticed when she is in season - totally unmareish.


She is ready for a loving owner who will be consistent and who wants to teach her and/or learn with her. (Please note however that due solely to her age and size and my desire to see her progress she will NOT be sold to a novice or unconfident rider/handler). She is bright and highly teachable - as such she will quickly become “that horse” that many riders want. I have not given her the consistency or next step of schooling and life experience she deserves and I would like to see her being brought on and taken out and about intelligently and kindly with a view to being her owner’s “life horse”. She has had a great and happy start here with groundwork, hacking and slow, steady and kind life experience. She is snaffle mouthed.


She has been clipped the last two winters. Barefoot with good hard feet although she was shod when I got her two years ago. She is good to load and easy to handle. She lives in or out – solo or company & is a good doer. (She has been predominantly with mares although her first summer here she shared a field with a gelding and was fine.) She can be a bit bossy in the field to others but only pulling faces and chasing off. She respects electric fencing and does not eat the wood on post and rail fencing. She is unfazed being left on her own in the stable or when her friends leave her from the field and is always pleased to see you when you come to the gate either to say hello or take her in for a groom/ride. Never been sick or sorry.


No timewasters , purchase agreements or loans . 5* home only and, please, only people ready to commit. Please text for a chat and further information . I can then send pictures and videos.

*PROPER FAMILY PONY/ MOTHER-DAUGHTER SHARE*
Badger- 15.1hh 4yo ISH- This fella is an out and out legend you can’t help but grin whilst riding him, see the pictures for evidence! Badge is a gentleman on the ground easy to handle, shoe, clip etc I regularly take him out to competitions by myself and have no issues at all. He’s been professionally schooled on the flat, has 3 expressive paces and would do a nice test. He’s easy off the leg more go than woah but still an easy ride for a competent child. ?He’s been to plenty of arena hires, competed in training shows and has started going out to competitions where he’s taken everything in his stride- no filler is too scary, he’s extremely honest, will not stop, and is nippy against the clock! He’s been on farm rides, beach rides, XC schooled and has competed in hunter trials, will go first or last and just loves his jumping, extremely bold and needs a partner to match! He hacks out alone or in company, is fab with traffic and good in open spaces. He’ll live in or out, on his own or with others, he’s really not bothered, a very chilled out chap. I truly believe he will turn his hoof to anything, he’s so much fun to ride and somebody will be super lucky to own this gorgeous boy! Based in Cheshire. Please pm for more info and bundles of pics and videos available on request!
