Lady Tracey
4YO (2022)
Irish Cob Mare
16.2h approx

A quality weigh carrier that has an outstanding temperament and is wise beyond her years! Tracey is an impeccable hack for her age.

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.

Tracey has been on multiple beach and moorland rides and is always the same horse at home or away. She has been on pleasure rides and is regularly ridden alone and in company, in heavy traffic and open spaces. Travelled in a trailer and lorry.

Tracey has been professionally produced to be amateur friendly, she has a well rounded education and she is regularly out and about seeing plenty of the world!

The first to the gate in the morning, you can clip her head to hoof without any fuss, she’s good with the farrier, she is kind and gentle and is a lovely person to have around.

Multiple videos available on request.

Her production & education with us will continue until sold.

COLBY 16.2h 5yo.

A proper stamp with a leg in each corner & 10” bone.

Owned since a foal and broken in by ourselves as a 3.5-year-old. He has always been a very manageable and accommodating type, with a loving, kind, and affectionate temperament.

He has hunted a full season with various packs, including drag, bloodhounds, and trail. He will hack out alone with no napping, spooking, spinning, bucking, bolting, or rearing, and is good in traffic and most importantly he stands quietly at the pub.!!

Colby will come off the lorry anywhere and remain calm and relaxed. He stands well at the meet, will queue for a fence, and is equally happy to lead. He is super bold and would make a serious Masters horse, but is also steady enough for a family share. Also rides and leads little pony’s !!

He has been on several riding holidays and fun rides with me last summer. We always do plenty of cross-country schooling with our horses, so he is excellent with ditches, banks, water, timber, and hedges.

He is a lovely, unspoilt five-year-old, produced slowly, and is now ready for his new home. We will all be very sad to see him go.

He would make a fabulous candidate for the mounted police.

Absolutely no vices.
No trials. No loans. No payment plans. No swaps. No novices. No happy hackers. No first time buyers. Proper hunting people or close, need apply.

Head turning Welsh D Proven Broodmare or Ridden Potential

  • Welsh Section D
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Proven broodmare
  • Excellent bloodlines
  • Sweet willing nature
8-year-old registered Welsh Section D with established bloodlines and a really good brain. This mare has produced three registered foals, the most recent with us smoothly at home last year (see pics) so would be an asset to any stud.

She has a very sweet, gentle nature and is kind by temperament, making her a great candidate for someone looking to bring her on under saddle. She is currently unbroken and has had limited careful ground work, so will require an experienced and knowledgeable home to continue her education. That being said she is very biddable and easy to work with in the stable and on the ground and will follow you anywhere once she knows you.

She would be an asset to any stud or equally ready for a ridden career.

Photos do not do this mare justice. Everyone who sees her comments on her quality.

Genuine sale and 5 star home a must.

WANTED - Searching For A Trustworthy Allrounder / Best Friend Type


Ref #: 404421
  • Height - 14.3-15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • Character - Gentle Natured, Polite, Family Friend
  • Type - Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar, Nothing Too Heavyweight.
  • Height - 14.3-15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • Character - Gentle Natured, Polite, Family Friend
  • Type - Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar, Nothing Too Heavyweight.

I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Stunning cob x Ardennes bay Roan mare.

3 balanced paces, comfortable and easy to ride.

Saffy has been a dream to work with, she loves to please and always willing to learn, the type that’s been here before.

Has done dressage, SJ and been XC schooling taking everything in her stride.

Doesn’t need riding every day, exactly the same if she hasn’t been sat on for a week.

Hacks out alone and in company, golden in open spaces. Not strong, sharp or silly.
Turns out with mares and geldings or happy on her own. Will live in or out.

Good to catch, box, bath, clip and with the farrier.

100% sound, vice free, never been lame, sick or sorry. (Not been rushed or pushed).

Same home since a foal, special home required for such a special mare. No novices please, she is amazing but deserves someone with experience.

Saffy’s a rare sort to find, she’s a true genuine all rounder. Would suit a mother/daughter/son share or anyone wanting a best friend to go out, have some fun and appreciate what a fantastic horse she is.

  • 16.3hh handsome buckskin mare 5yrs
  • Great presence which would absolutely suit the hunting field
  • Would suit a lady or gentleman rider

Dolly is a headturner receiving compliments on her looks wherever she goes, she has great presence which would absolutely suit the hunting field.

Dolly is quite a forward ride for her type, and for her size does not ride big, therefore would suit a lady or gentleman rider. She is not a tricky ride and is comfortable and uphill to sit on.

Dolly has only recently started work in the school where she can canter laps in self carriage on the correct canter lead without continual help from the rider, and is starting to walk and trot on the bridle and pop a small fence. Her canter is small and collected underneath you which is easy and non tiring to sustain, more like a 15.2hh.

I backed Dolly last summer for her owner and she has since hacked alone or in company, and is used to all traffic etc but has just grown too big for her owner who has had her since a foal.

Dolly is a big girl, she is well behaved because she knows her manners. She is really easy for her age but as with any young horse she will need to continue with her education.

Dolly is good in all respects box shoe catch clip etc

Good fitted tack and rugs included.

The kind you dream about

Bella is the definition of a genuine horse who is very easy to own. Incredibly kind, willing, and a pleasure to have around, she’s happy living in or out and takes everything in her stride.

A quick learner with a fantastic attitude, she’s improving all the time and offers a lovely, eye-catching way of going. Safe, sensible, and as close to “bulletproof” as they come, she’s the perfect partner for someone wanting confidence and quality in one package.

Kind & straightforward
Quick to learn & eager to please
Great mover with lots of potential - forward with great paces
Safe, sensible & reliable


Over the last year I have done everywith Bella, and she has taken me from being a true beginner to being a confident, happy rider. We have done fun charity rides, regular weekly RC schooling, hunter trials 70/80, show jumping competitions 60/70, and endless hacking with my children on their ponies. I can ride and lead, i can sit my 3 year old on son on her, my 8 year old daughter can turn her out and bring her in. She is happy in or out, barefoot, and as low maintenance as you can imagine. VERY genuine reason for sale.

A real sweetheart who just wants to get on with her job and look after her rider. Truly heartbreaking sale, so serious enquiries only. Full wardrobe available.

PLEASE NOTE, BELLA IS NOT A PLOD ALONG COB. She is forward, sporty, and super fun, whilst being really safe. She has a beautiful big neck and as a result can feel heavy. Becuse of her type, she is not feather light in the hand.

She is a lovely flashy mover. Will live in or out.

  • Dressage trained up to Novice with scope to go further.
  • Beautiful markings, eligible for CHAPS. Would suit a show ring.

Polly is an allrounder super cob, with so much potential and character. Polly is a calm ride, she has never tanked with me or been out of control, but she does get very excited going into fences. She is currently on loan to an equestrian college where she is doing all types of lessons with students. Polly is good to lunge in long reins and be long reined. Polly would be eligible for CHAPS and in the right hands would make a great horse in the show ring. She has been with her current owner for 5 years, in which time she also birthed a foal in 2023. 

Polly is able to be isolated, but prefers to be able to see other horses in the field and yard. Out hacking she is better with other horses, but she is very happy to be taken away from others to be exercised and be schooled alone. She copes well with changes of environment and has been out to several competition venues on her own for unaffiliated dressage and pole work clinics. I’ve never hunted her or gone cross country as I prefer dressage, but she loves jumping and with the right training could do more.

Polly is very well behaved for a farrier, vet, dentist and physio. Her feet are bare and she’s always been sound footed. She loves being groomed and tolerates clippers. Polly travels well, but is not the perfect loader up a steep ramp - no matter what, she always goes in. Once in, she travels quietly and is happy being travelled alone or in company. The days where I was travelling her consistently, she was so much better at loading. I was told she was travelled in a trailer before I purchased her, and a previous owner who contacted me said she never had issues travelling her, so I have always put it down to our particular steep ramp.

Polly is very smart and a consistent routine pays off extremely well. She is happy to be caught when she knows the routine (e.g. in winter when she knows she’s being brought in for the nighttime), otherwise she can be a little mareish and decide she’s not in the mood. During the summer when she’s not coming in to the yard consistently every day, we keep a head collar on or pop one on when she’s having her morning feed to catch her later in the day. Food and treats are always the best bribe!

If you’re looking for a cob with huge ridden capabilities, the ability to jump and do dressage - Polly’s has this in heaps. She would also suit a family where there was more hacking available than I’ve ever had, as she would suit the happy hacker life. Polly is very much the sort of horse that loves familiarity, routines and established relationships. She has so much to give someone who has the time to build a relationship with her.

I’m only selling her due to the fact that I’m pregnant with my second child and I have kept her offspring to be my next horse, so I cannot give Polly the full attention she deserves. A good home is essential for this lovely horse.

I have know him since birth and owned him until he was 7 I broke him in. He is a lovely chap lovely temperament and always willing to please.

We have hunted him he was good on the field stood at the meet good with the hounds and jumps everything. He has been around a course of fences nothing phases him like fillers or anything has 3 lovely paces . Currently being ridden by a 15yr old girl .

In his current home for the last 3 years he has been on a farm so used to all animals and machinery hacks out alone or in company first or last.

I think he would prefer a active home doing a bit of everything. He is low mileage for his age so would suit more a confident experience rider.

Twix - approx 15.2, 6 year old Irish cob mare.

Super allrounder type that’ll go on to many jobs.

Good to hack, goes alone or in company, enjoys boxing up to go for a hack and pop a log in the woods. Good around the farm machinery here and not been bothered in any of the traffic we’ve met.

Works away happily in the field or the arena, she has the basics in the arena and is a smart little cob that would pop off and do a little dressage test with some more work on the schooling.

She has a super jump and is very brave, XC schooled with us and didn’t say no to anything.

Before coming over Twix has mainly hacked/done a little hunting/fun rides/xc. Schooling is what she’s done the least of so she’s green on the flat but a super fast learner and tries very hard to please.

Passed a 5 stage vetting before import and comes with the certificate. Open to further vetting if required.

A solid cob with nice conformation and good feet. Shod all round currently but could easily go barefoot. No lumps/bumps/scars.

Good to catch, load, travel, tack up, wash off.

Exceptional mare with a heart of gold, she is super loving and affectionate, She has spent the 15 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.

Womble
16.2hh
Cob
Massive weight carrier
Kind, Calm, Loving Chap

Womble is an impressive 16.2hh weight carrying cob, with a loving temperament and calm disposition. He is easy to handle on the ground and under saddle and is always well mannered.

Womble was purchased at 3 years old, turned out to mature, then professional broken at 3 years 10 months he was then introduced to the riding school setting where he was ridden by staff and competent clientele, he was a quick learner and settled into this very busy environment without any problems, he participated in our group and private lessons, working on the flat, over poles and progressed quickly onto lateral work, small coloured and rustic fences, although still relatively green in the school, he was eager to learn, though new to poles and certain ridden exercises, he approaches each new task with a genuine willingness and calm disposition. He is not spooky, spiny, sharp, strong or reactive—just still developing his understanding. As a blank canvas, he offers the perfect opportunity for an independent rider to guide his progress and help shape his education. With time and consistency, he shows promise in working in a soft outline, he is developing good balance, lateral movement, and responsiveness to aids. He also continued to improve over small fence and log with quiet enthusiasm.

Womble hacks out confidently alone or in company and is entirely unfazed by the most challenging environments. He remains calm when faced with heavy traffic, including buses, tractors, lorries, and large agricultural machinery. He will wait patiently at roundabouts or traffic lights and never reacts with fear or tension. On open ground, he stays composed at all paces, whether leading, following, or riding solo. He never pulls, rushes, or attempts to overtake—even when returning home.

His exceptional manners extend to every aspect of handling. Womble is easy to catch, groom, bath, load, clip, and handle for the vet, dentist, and farrier. He currently lives barefoot but has previously been shod and is comfortable with either. He stands quietly for long periods without any restraint, happily enjoying being groomed and pampered. Children regularly lead and handle him without issue, and he will calmly stand at the mounting block until the rider is comfortably in the saddle.

More recently, he has begun to show a dislike for arena work. I believe this is largely due to the amount of schooling he has been asked to do, with very little variety. As a result, he has become a little stale and reluctant to go forward in the arena, unfortunately we have limited hacking facilities, so arena work is prominently where we ride, as we don’t have access to bridleways—only grass verges alongside roads or extremely busy roads. Initially we felt that focusing on arena schooling would be the best approach however in hindsight a variation would have been more beneficial.

Womble absolutely thrives when hacking out and continues to perform exceptionally well, even in heavy, fast-moving traffic. He takes busy and challenging road environments in his stride and continues to excel in these situations. I feel he would really benefit from a break from arena work. However, as we are a riding school, arena work is our 1st point of call.
Unfortunately Womble is not earning his keep, hence the reduced price.

Womble is a genuine confidence-giver who can be left unridden for weeks or even months and still be safe and consistent when brought back into work. He is incredibly low maintenance. He has never suffered from laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or lameness, and has passed all annual riding school inspections with flying colours (equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting).

He currently lives out at night in a large mixed herd and stabled during the day but is equally content stabled or turned out full time, he is happy to be stabled / turned out solo, he is not clingy at all, he absolutely loves people and attention and adores a cuddle. He is quiet, independent, and never causes trouble in the field or stable. Being sold on behalf of a working livery.

Nova is a 15.1 16 year old cob looking for a quite life due to her current 14 year old owner wanting to step up and progress

Nova will best suit a 24/7 turn out home, she will happily be stabled but much prefers to be out. Can be out with mares or geldings and has been previously turned out in a heard.

She is happy to go in the school every now and again but her favourite pass time is hacking. she is completely bomb proof and will hack for hours through water, traffic, open fields and never puts a hoof wrong !

In the school she is a forward ride and for this reason isn’t for a complete novice.

Nova does have an old knee injury which never causes her any issues but for this reason we would like her to be in a mostly non jumping home, however she is more than okay to do the odd cross pole or jump small logs or obstacles out hacking.

She can be a typical “mare” and can be sensitive at times when away from home and in new surroundings. Because of this, she does require sedation for clipping and dentist.

Nova is fab to load and travel and is really good for the farrier, she is up to date with all vaccines and had the dentist recently.

Can possibly come with tack thais an included in this price she’s just had a brand-new saddle that has been fitted

Please absolutely no time wasters as this is a really tough decision a young teenager has had to make and Nova was her first horse.

Tommy is a nice steady hack, he can have the occasional spook but would never tank off or spin. He is a perfect gentleman with others and will lead or follow. If you ride him on he will pass anything. He did hack out a loan at his previous home, however I have not done this as I like to hack with my buddy at the weekends for a chat etc.

We live in a very busy village so we see a variety of things, lorry’s, buses, tractors, bikes and pushchairs which he is good with.

Tommy works in in the school, we weee having weekly lessons until recently, been to away lessons, away camps (in-hand and ridden) forest rides, in-hand shows and low level dressage comps. Tommy was a late starter to all this however showed willing and behaved impeccably.

Tommy is good for the farrier, vet and physio, can be anxious with the dentist. I have never clipped Tommy as he has and amazing coat, not a hair monster

Tommy loads in his own time, never takes long, just likes to access the situation and then on he goes. Travels well.

Tommy is not a field trasher or fence breaker. He does like to be able to see a buddy. Very clean in the stable.

This is a very sad sale, and all I want is for Tommy to go to a lovely new home.
