PROVEN 15hh DRESSAGE/EVENT WELSH COB GELDING

Fabulous opportunity to purchase Marl Mostyn (stable name: Merlin) a much loved and exceptionally talented 15hh, 14-year-old, black, Welsh Cob gelding.

In his long-term partnership with his former rider he competed at BE80 and BE90, placing 7th with a 29.5dressage on his last outing.

Her attentions then switched to dressage where he regularly scored 67%+ at Novice and Elementary level BD.

He was then sold to a lady in her 60s to rekindle the riding of her past, but tragically it has transpired that her own spinal issues mean his talents are being wasted and she has accepted, the sad decision to sell, is in his best interests.

Exquisitely schooled on the ground and under saddle this stunning gelding is sensitive, light and obedient on the flat and has powerful paces and a scopey, exhuberant, careful and bold jump.

He is proven and yet has untapped potential and so we will assess all applicants carefully to ensure he has the best future going forward and are seeking a talented teen or competent adult and not children - rider in the photos is 5'10''!

Barefoot all his life his current owner has adopted that easily.

Trial facilities at his home in the New Forest.

A historic sarcoid removal is declared and reflected in his price.

To find out more please call Anna on 07970 285781.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Confidence Giver / RDA / Allrounder
  • Massive Weight Carrier

Please don’t let her age put you off, she most definitely is wise and judicious beyond her years, 5 years going on 15 years, typical laid back Clydesdale characteristics.

If your looking for a horse that has impeccable manners on the ground and when riding, something that is super safe, calm and not phased by anything, that is extremely low maintenance and can be looked after by a child, a horse with more whoa than go, dare I say it…… a bit of a plod, then look no further.

Despite only being 5 years she is so level headed and mature for her age, her laid back personality and attitude to life is 2nd to none.
Jess is as straightforward as they come with absolutely no quirks or vices.

Jess is a really nice calm considerate girl, who is unbelievably safe. Ideal for beginner riders, or riders who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, she has more woah than go …..a bit of a plod, even tho she is super safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces, with flare and enthusiasm, she is very sensible and can be forward going if your a more experienced rider, not spooky, sharp or silly in anyway, she is responsive to the leg if you can ride, whilst remaining calm and relaxed, she is extremely willing and will do anything you ask, she has 3 nice balanced super steady paces, she will jump a course of small coloured and rustic fences.

Jess participates in our low level showjumping, cross country, In hand, fancy dress & handy pony competitions.
She is a firm favourite with our lead rein classes, special requirement and RDA rides, both ridden and during stable management and therapy sessions.

She is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic horse for anyone to build up their confidence, continue learning to ride and progress on.
Definitely a 1st horse.

Exceptional mare with a heart of gold, she is super loving and affectionate, She has spent the 18 months working in a riding school where she has been ridden by all level riders, from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before up to advanced riders where she participates in our flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he first started her riding school career. She is very genuine and loves to hack out, she does not pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, Jess will hack through the heaviest of very fast moving traffic without batting an eye lid, she is not perturbed by any kind of vehicles or farm machinery.

Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and has brilliant manners enabling anyone to handle her safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed and bathed, she loves being pampered. She will stand patiently at a mounting block.

She has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy Schoolmistress, with no ifs or buts.

She will hack out alone or in company through very heavy traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of wether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on his own, she will not rush, pull, race or try an overtake even on the way home.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble, she has no marish traits, not clingy, she is happy to be stabled and turned out on her own.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot, she is equally happy to be shoed.
She is excellent to catch, load, travel with the farrier, dentist and vet.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler when competing, cross country, showjumping, fun rides and beach rides.

She doesn’t need to be ridden every day she can go without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance.
He has never been lame in the whole time we have had her. No lumps or bumps.

Just passed our annual Licence Inspection which is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer. Being sold on behalf of a working livery.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around every 12-24 months to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again. We are also reducing stock due to being quite we have a variety available for viewing.

Lawrence is out of Fututure Hepsilon; (Heraldik x Upsilon) his remarkable bloodlines gives him a real standout presence. With this quality comes a very sweet and kind nature, whereby he always tries his best. He is well behaved on the ground as well as ridden. He has super movement and huge potential with the jumping.

Lawrence is green, but is also a very clean slate, and is therefore the ideal project for someone looking to progress him and make the most of his potential. He is still owned by the breeder who sent him away to be backed last year. Since then he has had the winter off at home to grow and mature. Now he has been brought back into work, getting fit and ready to go.

He has shoes, vacs and worming all up to date.
I’ve loaded and driven him myself and currently riding him around the farm on his own. He is good in traffic, fine on different terrain. Incredibly balanced up and down hills. (I am 5ft7 for reference)

**N.B he has sarcoids: one small one on his chest plus a few even smaller around his sheath (photos available) this is reflected in his price **

Ultimate weight carrying, happy hack

  • Shire
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 17.2 hands
  • 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.

  • Reason for sale - retirement from riding 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. She has been gently hacked out over the last 2 years and is reliable, sensible and safe. Owner is now looking to retire from riding and wants to see her fully optimised as the SWEET horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse 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 programme of schooling. She is responsive and quick to learn. She can be hacked on the buckle end, is totally chilled 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 and farm machinery. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot & the guns do not worry her at all. I have 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 total 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 now is ready for. 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 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 as a swift sale is necessary .

In order to be efficient with everyones' time and effort please note the following process: Please text or call requesting a detailed set of videos and pictures ( conformation, way of going, farrier, loading, mounting , going over little bridges, road work etc , evidence of different riders etc etc... and if you are then interested then we can have a phone chat and if youre still interested then a viewing. This is a tough sale and she needs her new home by the end of June.

Stunning 7yr old dapple grey Irish draught gelding. Standing 17.2hh.

He has been owned since coming over from Ireland as a three yr old so full history known.

This beautifully put together traditional Irish draught has been carefully broken having come over from Ireland and produced, he schools well on the flat and has jumped a course of jumps, despite his size he is polite in his mouth and very responsive to the leg. Making him a lovely ride.

He has proven himself to be a super quick learner, and careful over a fence.

Thor would excel in the show ring, he is short coupled and has great conformation, however he would also make a super low level competition horse. He thoroughly enjoys work, and learning new skills.

His hacking is good, he is unphased by traffic and hacks happily alone or in company.

He can be a little green occasionally and would suit a rider who can ensure he continues to gain confidence and progress to become the armchair ride he is destined to be.

Great to shoe, catch, box etc

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.

Red is a Full Irish Draught with fantastic breeding by Devils Punchbowl (Crannagh Hero) out of a Westmeath Lad Dam.

Red has flashy clean movement and a very good attitude to his work. He works well on the flat, he wants to learn and loves his work.

Correct Stamp.

He has been professionally started and his education has not been rushed. He is slightly green due to being allowed time to mature.

Hacks out alone and in company. Not a silly or spooky type but can occasionally have a little look.

A lovely person who is easy to do, a good doer and happy to live out or be stabled.

Will make a lovely allrounder - riding club/ show/ working hunter etc.

Up to date with dentist, farrier, vaccinations, teeth etc.

Very sad sale and home of utmost importance. Seen at livery.
