  • 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

  • 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

Ozzie has been the most perfect partner for my daughter since she was 12, both starting off green in the horse world and growing together over the last 3 years. Has the most lovable character and is only for sale as she now wants to concentrate on school and other teenage activities.

Has done a bit of everything……ODE’s, SJ, XC, Dressage, teamchasing and is your ultimate low level allrounder. Comfortable competing up to 80cm but has done 90/100 schooling at home. Adores XC and would make a fantastic hunting partner as stands like a rock when out at a party.

Although he has been a great teenagers horse, he requires a rider not a passenger. He is a typical cob, and given an inch he takes a mile. He is at his best when in varied regular work and likes to go out as much as possible. Hacks well in company and will hack alone but requires more confidence from his rider when not with friends.

Loads well, easy to clip, barefoot and lives on fresh air. Could live out if desired, happiest in a herd but is currently in individual paddock.

Up to date with saddle fit, chiro, teeth and vaccs due October.

Passed a 5 stage vetting 3 years ago with a couple of minor points-happy to discuss on enquiry.

Does suffer with sweet itch but managed well with the injection and staying covered up.

Will come with tack and full wardrobe.

Ideal new home would be with a competent teenager or small adult who will take him out regularly to PC/RC/shows etc as this is what he loves to do. We really don’t want to let him go as we adore him but we can’t keep them all! New owner must be prepared to stay in touch.

Plenty more videos available on request.

Moss - 16hh, 7 year old cob gelding.

Moss is a super sweet, quality cob with a real leg in each corner, weight carrying type. He is as wide as he is tall!

Full history known and a genuine reason for sale. We imported Moss as a 4 year old and sold him to his current owner who has had a wonderful 3 years hacking but now very sadly health reasons means he needs to hang up his boots.

Moss will hack alone and in company, is good with traffic and farm machinery. Used to cows and sheep and sensible in open spaces. Loves to go exploring and will pop a log in the woods if it’s in his way! Used to hacking over flyovers and busy dual carriageways and loves a pub stop!

Will work in the arena but he’s built for comfort not speed and this wouldn’t be his forte, he’s not really designed for it so his owner would love to see him go into a similar home to his and not one that wants to work in the arena 4 days a week.

Really super cob for hacking/fun rides/low level stuff.

Good to catch/clip (only reason his legs aren’t done is my blades were going blunt and I didn’t want to only get halfway through!)/load/bath/shoe. Up to date on vaccinations/teeth/physio - he has been very well loved and cared for. No lumps/bumps/cpl/scabby knees.

£12,000 - with his saddle and a couple of rugs.

07581238106 - please WhatsApp message for videos. If you call and I don’t answer please send a text - NOT voicemail (they don’t work on my phone!) and I’ll get back to you.

Located Farnham Surrey.

(Owing to the time of year we are able to help and have horses on livery if you are away on holiday soon but don’t want to miss out, so please do ask!)

After owning horses all my life I sadly lost my lovely Warmblood (see photos) at the end of last year. I am now looking for a loan horse to keep at current DIY livery yard with direct access to Bedgebury Forest - Miles of off road riding, small school, individual large field, stable etc. Friendly yard.

I am open to a loan, part loan (to keep at current yard or locally) or a loan with a view to buy for the perfect four legged partner.

15hh+ and must be a super safe bombproof hacker and happy to ride out alone. My daughter is also an experienced rider having competed in low level SJ for many years, and (subject to horse and arrangement in place) would be interested in schooling and clinics etc.

Open to ideas, can provide lots of references. A very loving and pampered 5* home awaits!

Margot - Westside Bella Vista

A quality 3-year-old Pure Irish Draught filly by Aye Aye Skipper out of Silverdale Lady, with sought-after Class 1 breeding.

King of diamonds line.

Her pedigree combines some of the most respected traditional Irish Draught bloodlines, renowned for producing horses with substance, athleticism and the ability to excel across a variety of disciplines.

Currently standing at 164 cm, she still has plenty of filling out to do and is maturing into a substantial Irish Draught mare.

I bought her directly from the stud where she was bred, and she is currently turned away there to continue maturing before being ready to be backed. I have given her the best possible start. She has completed all of her groundwork and is now enjoying time to develop at her own pace.

She has been shown in-hand and has been placed every time. She hacks confidently in-hand on the roads, happy to go first or last, and has taken everything in her stride. She has visited Aintree Arena Hire, completed farm rides like Kelsall hill in hand, desentization classes where nothing has fazed her at all.

I believe she has all the qualities to make an exceptional hunting mare, but she also has the potential to excel as a quality all-rounder.

She does have a small splint on her front near fore, which has never affected her or caused any issues and i do think it will flatten over time.

She has lived both in and out but is happiest living out. She is currently turned away in a mixed herd with mares and geldings.

This is a very difficult decision and only due to me breaking my back at work earlier this year. I had planned to back and produce her myself, but I cannot justify taking the risk with such a young, powerful mare during my recovery. She deserves the opportunity to fulfil her potential with someone who can continue her education.

£8000 however price is negotiable to the right home.

If you’re looking for a kind, versatile horse with a wonderful temperament, this lovely Irish Draught mare could be exactly what you’ve been searching for.

She has a fantastic character and is a pleasure to have around. Easy to catch, handle, load, travel, shoe and clip, she’s a straightforward horse who enjoys her work and thrives on attention.

Having hunted extensively in both Ireland and the UK, she is bold, honest and reliable across all types of country. She is sensible enough to give confidence to a novice or amateur rider, yet still has plenty of ability and enthusiasm to keep a more experienced rider smiling.

She has also done countless hacks and fun rides, which she absolutely loves.

Her flatwork is continuing to develop, and she is improving with every ride, showing a willing attitude and a genuine desire to learn.

She is an honest mare with a heart of gold, combining the traditional Irish Draught temperament with quality, substance and athleticism. Horses of this calibre, with such an exceptional temperament and proven versatility, are becoming increasingly hard to find.

Nellie is a beautiful 14.3/15hh evenly marked coloured cob mare. She is 6years old and only broken in, in April and is now riding away very well. She’s been started late due to her having a foal at an early age and left to mature.

She has exceptional manner on the ground, fantastic around children. She will stand for hours being groomed/bathed. She also stands perfectly to have her legs clipped.

Nellie has been professional backed, iv mainly been hacking her out and riding in the fields. She hack’s alone or in company and is proving good in traffic. She can be a little spooky at times but i think this is only due to her low milage. Nellie is good in open spaces and will go for a canter without getting strong or silly. She is still very green to school but can walk trot canter around the school, her canter is extremely green still. She’s also popped the odd fence but hasn’t done a lot of jumping. She is aways very safe and time off doesn’t seem to make a difference to her.

Currently turned out in a mixed herd

Barefoot

I think she would make somebody the perfect happy hacker/low level all rounder and has the right attitude to go hunting.

I will like Nellie to go to a kind loving knowledgeable home, ready for someone to put there on stamp on her. Due to her only

Just being backed, I don’t think she would be suitable for a completely beginner/novice rider.

Lots of video on request, serious enquires only

  • Easy to Handle • Hacks Alone & In Company

16.1hh, 13-year-old bay gelding with a fantastic work ethic who genuinely loves having a job. A fun, athletic all-rounder who schools comfortably around 90cm-1m, loves to jump and would make a super riding club horse for someone wanting to get out and do a bit of everything.

He enjoys clinics, pole work, arena work and is bold and genuine cross country, happily jumping ditches, hedges, water and steps. He thrives on variety and is happiest when he’s busy, making him ideal for riding club activities, hunter trials, arena eventing or grassroots eventing.

He has hunted well with us, both in the field and whipping-in with hunt staff, proving to be genuine, sensible and happy to work all day. However, we feel his future would be best suited to a varied home where he can enjoy a mixture of jumping, clinics, hacking and hunting, rather than solely hunting.

He hacks confidently alone and in company, loads and travels well in both trailer and lorry, turns out happily with mares, geldings or on his own and has no stable vices. He is good for the farrier, dentist, physio, washing, grooming and to hog, making him an easy horse to have on the yard.

He is not a novice ride as he can be forward and enjoys his work, but he is genuine, honest and rewarding for a rider who wants a horse to get out and enjoy.

For complete honesty, he requires Domosedan for a full clip and underwent successful kissing spine surgery several years ago. He has fully recovered, has remained in consistent work and this has not prevented him doing the job we have asked of him.

He has a specially fitted saddle that can be sold (separately) with him.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I offer my beautiful mare Inka (Bowland Diamond Endeavour) for sale due to a genuine change in personal circumstances. She has been with me since she was a foal and has been lovingly raised in a family environment, making this an exceptionally difficult decision. She doesn’t owe me anything, and finding her the perfect home is my absolute priority.

Standing at 17.1hh, she is a quality, pure bred registered Irish Draught mare out of a Hornby Premium mare, sired by RID Diamond Lodge. Due to her size, she has never been rushed and has been allowed the time to mature both physically and mentally. She was professionally backed earlier this year and has taken everything in her stride.

She is still green in the school, so she is not a novice ride and will require a knowledgeable, experienced owner to continue her education. However, she has all the ingredients to make an outstanding lifelong partner. She has shown a real willingness when hacking and happily goes out both alone and in company.

She has the sweetest nature – kind, genuine, and easy to have around. She is good with dogs, not mareish or bolshy, and has been brought up with plenty of love and attention. She has a great personality and a great sense of humour. She is up to date with her farrier, vaccinations, teeth, and physio. She is easy to handle, catch, bath etc.

She does have a capped hock, which has been thoroughly assessed by both my vet and physio. They have no concerns, as it is purely cosmetic and does not affect her soundness or ability. This has been reflected in her price.

This mare has so much potential and deserves someone who will continue her education and enjoy her for years to come. I truly believe she will make someone an incredible forever horse.

I have plenty of photos and videos available on request. Please, genuine enquiries only and no time wasters, as this is a heartbreaking sale. The right home is far more important than a quick sale. I would also be open to a full loan. She is now ready for someone to make their own.

  • 5 years

  • 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.

Due to genuine personal circumstances, Rocco is sadly looking for a new home. This is through absolutely no fault of his own, and he will only be sold to the very best home.

Rocco is a genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to work. He is always willing to please and gives everything a go. He takes confidence from his rider, so he would be best suited to someone who can ride positively and consistently. However, he would also happily suit a confident novice rider with some horse knowledge who is looking for a genuine young horse to enjoy and continue producing. Kind, willing and eager to learn, Rocco has all the potential to make an outstanding all-round horse.

Rocco was professionally backed at the start of last winter before being turned away to mature. He returned to work in March and has been riding away consistently ever since. Despite his young age, he has taken everything in his stride and continues to impress with his willing attitude and sensible nature. He really is an old head on young shoulders, taking new experiences in his stride and always trying his best.

Since coming back into work, he has enjoyed beach rides, cross-country schooling, flatwork and plenty of hacking. He hacks happily alone or in company and is equally happy leading or following. He is very good in open spaces and, although he may be a little more forward in completely new environments, there is never anything silly or naughty about him. He has a lovely, level-headed temperament and always tries his best.

He is also incredibly genuine to ride after time off. He recently had several days off during the hot weather and came straight back into work without any fuss.

On the ground, Rocco is a pleasure to have around and is a real yard favourite thanks to his kind, friendly nature. He has lovely stable manners and is easy to handle in all respects.

Rocco is:

* Good to catch

* Good to load

* Can be unsure with the farrier but is improving with regular handling

* Well-mannered on the ground and in the stable

* Easy to do in all ways

* Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and farrier

* Free from lumps, bumps, blemishes, sarcoids or vices

* Recently passed a full 5-stage vetting with no issues

Unfortunately, his breeding is unknown.

Rocco has all the ingredients to make an exceptional all-round horse for someone wanting a genuine young horse to continue producing. He has a fantastic brain, a kind nature and a real willingness to learn, making him an exciting prospect for the future.

Rocco is equally happy living in or out and is content either with other horses or on his own.

Based in Dorset.

High four figures

The very best home is absolutely essential and will be carefully vetted.

Astrid

Stunning Clydesdale Cross Irish Cob
16.3hh mare
6yrs

If you’re looking for a horse with impeccable manners both on the ground and under saddle, something super safe, calm and unfazed by absolutely everything, exceptionally low maintenance and gentle enough to be handled by a child, a horse with far more “whoa” than “go”—dare I say it… a bit of a plod—then Astrid is your girl.

This 6 year old girl is wise and judicious way beyond her years, she is sensible, straightforward and safe. She is the most loveable gentle giant you could ever wish to meet.

She is currently working in my riding school where she is ridden by all levels of riders, from complete beginners on the lead rein through to advanced. She definitely has more whoa than go, so if you lose your stirrups or balance, she will quietly come back to walk without even being asked. She is incredibly forgiving and always looks after her rider.

Astrid has a fantastic attitude to learning and always tries her best. She is a lovely all-round horse, she is a kind, honest uncomplicated mare.

She responds nicely to the leg throughout all three paces and is happy to pop over poles, logs and small fences. For a more novice rider, she will happily plod around on a long rein, taking everything in her stride regardless of the terrain.

She most definitely doesn’t fizz up, spook, shy, rush, pull or behave silly. Astrid has the same chilled-out temperament wherever she goes—absolutely nothing phases her.

She would suit a nervous or novice rider, a mature person wanting to enjoy their riding, or someone who simply wants to take life in the slow lane.

She can be ridden every now and again or worked daily and remains exactly the same sensible, laid-back horse.

Astrid hacks out in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eyelid. She has seen all types of vehicles including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, motorbikes, tractors, trailers and large agricultural machinery.

She has impeccable manners across open fields and will canter or gallop quietly on grass verges beside busy roads. In company she is happy to lead, follow or ride at the back, never rushing, pulling or trying to overtake. If anything, she sometimes needs reminding to keep up.

She also hacks confidently alone through open countryside and the busiest of traffic, proving herself to be a sturdy, sure-footed and considerate mare.

She is excellent to catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, shoe, for the dentist and the vet. She is currently barefoot but was previously shod in Ireland and has impeccable manners for the farrier.

She absolutely loves attention and will happily stand all day without a headcollar while being groomed, bathed, cuddled and fussed over. She will also stand in her stable with the door open, happily eating her hay without attempting to leave unless asked. She is regularly caught, led and handled by the smallest of children and is quite happy being gently led around the yard. She stands perfectly at the mounting block until mounted, regardless of how long it takes.

She has a lovely snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets required.

She is stabled during the day and turned out at night in a mixed herd. She is equally happy living in or out full time, keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite sharing with around 25 other horses. She isn’t clingy and is perfectly happy on her own if required.

Astrid will give confidence to any rider or handler and would happily enjoy riding club activities, fun rides and beach rides. She can have weeks or even months off and be tacked up and ridden exactly the same. She is exceptionally low maintenance, maintains her weight all year round on grass, hay and haylage during winter, and has never suffered with laminitis, sweet itch or sarcoids.

During the entire time I have owned her she has never been lame, sick or sorry. My vet can verify this, and she has just passed the riding school’s annual inspections with flying colours, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

We are looking for a genuine five-star private home where someone can enjoy owning a truly safe, kind and sensible horse with so much to offer.

Only for sale, as we rotate our riding school horses every 12-24 months, to give these wonderful horses the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one private home again. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Other horses and ponies available for viewing.

Bella 🤍🤎 the ultimate dream horse for a nervous amateur looking for a SAFE hacking and riding club partner

Bella is a 15h, 4yo skewbald Irish cob mare with a phenomenal, quiet character no matter what situation we put her in! She’s led wild horses down the road, given nervous horses a lead over new jumps, ridden bareback, sidesaddle, even in open fields.

She is fantastic with tractors, machinery, traffic, cows, and enjoys hacking alone or in groups

She is excellent for group riding lessons, brave and forgiving to ride. She is never strong, bold, or spooky and happily jumps 70-80cm courses.

🎀GRACIE🎀 17hh Rising 6yo full bred Irish Draught mare.

Gracie is a big friendly giant for someone looking for a super safe steady mare, Gracie is for you!

Gracie is pretty much bombproof to hack, I dont believe any horse is bombproof but she has never put a foot wrong! She has absolutely no vices and had various riders of all abilities riding her including my 13yo child.

Gracie is green in the school, transitions well, good to lunge but needs more work in the canter.

Gracie has seen trot poles, small jumps, machinery, dogs, mirrors, used to a busy family yard and unphased by it all.

Gracie had the winter off and brought back into work this summer and took everything in her stride.

Gracie would suit a hacking, trekking, pleasure ride home. She would also suit a riding school home with further schooling. She’d make a great hunter with some time and increased fitness.

Good to lead, clip, load and shoe although currently bare foot.

No health issues, never sick or sorry!

Comes with full wardrobe including brand new Arena air pocket saddle, fitted to her by Master Saddler in March this year. Eco Rider bridle, various rugs, fly masks etc.

She is literally a diamond in the making!

Sad sale on behalf of owner who is selling her due to significant and unexpected health issues.

Neville: elite allrounder, dressage star, quiet and willing


Ref #: 413520
  • Smashing blue roan colour and stunning, floaty paces
  • Experienced at local competitions, dressage, cross country
  • Mellow and unflappable character
£11,950
  • Irish Draught
  • Blue roan
  • Gelding
  • 4 years
  • 16.1hh / 166cm
  • Smashing blue roan colour and stunning, floaty paces
  • Experienced at local competitions, dressage, cross country
  • Mellow and unflappable character

Kippagh Choice, affectionately called ‘Neville’ by our girls, is a one-in-a-million find for a family with many riders, a riding club member looking for a capable, unflappable partner, or an amateur looking for a confidence-boosting, gentle allrounder.

He is a big-bodied, weight carrier standing at 16.1h with a little more growing to do. He is a stunning blue roan 4yo Irish Draught x Cob.

We have yet to find something he is afraid of! He enjoys hacking alone or with others, has no problem around lorries, machinery, cows, traffic, or busy arenas. He’s extremely brave and settled in new places and open fields.

He has been competing locally with us and loves it. His steady, comfy canter and adjustable stride is ideal for a nervous rider on course.

He has been dressage schooling and travels easily in the contact in a loose ring snaffle. He is not lazy or overly forward, he stays right under the leg, even with a petite 5’ girl.

With his floaty, suspended movement and blue roan colour, we think he’d make a fabulous horse for showing hunter classes or dressage competitions

He has been cross country schooling and enjoys it very much. We believe he’d make a great hunt horse with his mellow personality and great attitude for water, ditches, coffins, etc.

He is very easy to catch, load, tie, plait, bathe, shoe, etc. He is notoriously friendly and gentle, our girls adore his willing and sweet personality. He gets along well with all other horses and has no vices.

He is open to any vetting
