  • “Happy Hacker, Best Friend with ability for Riding Club”

Milo is a lovely 9-year-old black cob who has been primarily used for hacking throughout his life, and he truly excels in this area. He is incredibly reliable and enjoyable to ride, both alone and in company, making him a perfect partner for someone looking for a safe and steady hack.

Since being with us, Milo has been schooling more with us and has taken to it very well. He is willing and tries his best, although his previous owner found him a little on the slower side in the school. We’ve now got him going nicely forward. He has recently started jumping and has proven to be straightforward and honest, though he is still a little green in this area for his age and will benefit from continued education.

Milo would be ideal for a leisure, happy hacking home, or for someone looking to continue his schooling and enjoy bringing him on further in all areas.

Milo has a kind and gentle nature, making him a pleasure to have around both on the ground and under saddle. He is a real sweetheart who enjoys attention and would make a fantastic all-rounder or best friend.

This is a very sad sale due to his owner’s health condition, so finding him the right home is extremely important.

By First impression

A real smart type with good movement and plenty of limb. A type to suit many jobs!

She has such a lovely sweet temperament, very laid back to handle and deal with.

Shes just started being broken, lunging nicely with a roller on and just started long reining. Shes been a superstar with everything we have done so far and sure will be really straight forward to get on.

She shows amazing talent over a jump!

We will continue to break her, her price will increase the more she does.

Oreo, a striking 5-year-old cob gelding standing at 16hh. Oreo is a truly eye-catching horse with beautiful, balanced conformation and an exceptionally pretty presence. His gorgeous white tail gives him a unique look that turns heads everywhere he goes — he’s one of those horses that always gets noticed for his good looks and charm. With his smart markings and lovely build, Oreo is the perfect example of a well-put-together cob, combining strength, balance, and quality in one impressive package.

Oreo has a wonderful temperament and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He is kind, good-natured, and always willing to please, making him an ideal partner for riders of different levels. Here, he is regularly ridden by novice students and takes everything in his stride, showing patience and a sensible outlook that makes him very easy to trust. He works in a snaffle, is light in the hand, and goes sweetly off the leg, giving his rider a comfortable and confidence-building ride every time.

He’s lovely to hack, whether alone or in company, and is excellent in traffic. He’s well used to all kinds of farm machinery and country life, making him a brilliant choice for someone who enjoys relaxed rides through lanes, fields, or open countryside. Oreo is also a lovely, straightforward horse to take hunting — he’s sensible in open spaces, polite in a group, and enjoys getting on with the job.

Oreo has been schooled on the flat, over show jumps, and across cross-country fences. He’s honest and brave to a fence, has a good natural rhythm, and is already confidently jumps up to 90cm here. With his three balanced, comfortable paces and his enthusiastic, can-do attitude, he shows great potential for any all-round job. He’s the type of cob who will happily turn his hoof to a bit of everything — from hacking and hunting to riding club and fun days out.

He is easy to handle in every way — good to shoe, box, catch, ride, and in traffic. Oreo has no stable vices and is open to any vetting. His calm and adaptable temperament means he would suit a wide variety of homes: he would make a fantastic mother–daughter share, a brilliant addition to a riding school, or a trustworthy and fun happy hacker for someone wanting an easy, enjoyable companion.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely happy with him.
Scroll down to view his video and see what a lovely, genuine horse he is. For more information, please don’t hesitate to call me anytime on 00353 868077626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com.

Oreo is the complete package — handsome, kind, and honest — a beautifully put-together cob who will make someone a truly wonderful all-round partner.


Ladies hunter / allrounder

£10,000

  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 4 years

  • Safe, sain & sensible
  • Hunted this season
  • Safe hack

Doogie has been with us for the current season and has proved himself a most genuine and accommodating sort. He has been out with a variety of packs, including the Staff College Drag Hounds and the Coakham Bloodhounds, taking everything in his stride. He is a sensible ride in a snaffle, stands quietly at the meet, and is mannerly in the field, showing himself to be good with hounds. Across country he is brave and willing, happily popping rails, ditches, hedges and the like, and is particularly pleasing in open spaces where he remains level-headed, never becoming strong or silly. He gives one the feel of a horse who will continue to make up into a most dependable hunter with further mileage.

On the flat, Doogie is working nicely for his age, with three correct, rhythmical paces and a willing attitude to his work. He is beginning to work in a consistent outline and is responsive without being sharp. With time and continued schooling, he would undoubtedly produce a very pleasing dressage test.

At home he is an absolute pleasure to have about the yard. He is easy to manage, turns out happily either in a mixed herd or on his own, and is free from stable vices.

He has been out clear round jumping at Felbridge Showground up to 70cm, which we feel is more than sufficient for his age, and he has given a very good account of himself. There is certainly scope for him to progress further in time. He has also enjoyed beach rides and pub rides, taking these experiences in his usual relaxed and sensible manner.

Doogie would suit someone seeking a smart, safe hunter, all-rounder or riding club horse. He is straightforward, genuine and easy to ride and handle, making him an enjoyable prospect for a wide range of riders.

Full history known. Good to load, clip, catch & shoe.

15.2/3hh maxi cob mare. Absolute happy hacker / low level all rounder. Owner for 13 years.

Willow has been with me since she was a 2 year old. She was backed at 3-4 and became my novice husband’s horse when we got together 10 years ago and he wanted to get involved with the horses.

He’s done all sorts with her from fun rides, XC schooling, a little bit of jumping and tons of hacking. She’s always been very safe and looked after him. He often used to carry our Jack Russell on board down busy roads so he could come along riding too! She absolutely loves water and will go in no matter how deep and have a good splash around!

She’s very good in all kinds of traffic. Great to catch, load, with farrier etc etc. She’ll live in or out 24/7 or a bit of both. She’s fine in a mixed heard. She’s good feet and has been barefoot most of her life.

She’s a very kind and easy mare who is only for sale because my husband has totally lost interest and she’s just getting wasted with us.

She bred a lovely foal last year and has just been brought back into work so needs more top line building up. I was going to wait to advertise her but we don’t have lots of grass so that will come easily with some better grazing! She is absolutely a horse than can be picked up and left whenever you want. She’s never needed regular work to remain sensible, she’s just a bit rusty in the school as my husband never really enjoyed doing that but she’s sensible and tries to please.

She’s the type you can just throw anyone on and let them have a go. His mates have raced her up open fields after a few beers who’ve never ridden before and she was so safe and looked after them.

She’s up to date with everything and ready to go out and be enjoyed this summer! Photos are from over the years with the ones in a Pessoa showing her as she is now.

So much potential!

A lovely 6 year old, 15h bay irish gelding with the kindest temperament and a genuine nature. This super cob has plenty of potential and a very exciting future ahead.

He is easy to handle on the ground and enjoys his work, offering a fun and rewarding ride. A brave type, he hacks alone and in company and is continuing to gain confidence with his education.

With his age he’s still young and green, he is not a first pony, and would be best suited to a confident rider who can continue his schooling and bring out the best in him.

Would make a great Pony Club/RC prospect, mother/daughter share, or all rounder. He has all the attributes to go on and do a variety of jobs, with potential to progress further in the right hands.

Good to box, shoe and clip

A kind, genuine pony looking for a knowledgeable home to continue his education.
