  • 5 years

  • Hunted full season
  • Safe happy hack
  • XC schooled / clear rounds
A quality middleweight pure-bred Irish Draught mare, 5 years old and standing approximately 16.3hh. Please read the full advert and take the time to view all videos provided.

DJ has been with us since she was a two-year-old. She was broken at home as a four-year-old in spring 2025, then turned away to mature before being brought back into work in late August 2025. She has since completed a full season’s hunting.

She has hunted both trail hunting and with the bloodhounds, where she has proven bold, genuine and very willing at a fence, with a lovely, scopey jump. She is brave without being silly, stands quietly at the meet and behaves impeccably with hounds. A thoroughly enjoyable middleweight with substance and presence, combined with a balanced, rhythmical canter you could sit to all day.

At home she is straightforward and easy to manage. She hacks alone confidently, is sensible in open spaces and good in traffic. On the flat she has established the basics with correct, balanced transitions. She remains green in this area and is not yet ready for a dressage test, but she shows a willing attitude and plenty of scope to progress.

She regularly pops round clear rounds at Felbridge and has schooled round the arena at East Bysshe. She is an honest, smart young mare with plenty of potential as a quality hunter or all-rounder.

No vices. Good to clip. Loads and travels well. She will happily stand all day to be groomed and fussed and has a loving, kind temperament.

Offered for sale at the end of the hunt season, having been a very good hireling. She is priced to sell and the price is non-negotiable, so please ensure she is within your budget before arranging a viewing. Part exchange may be considered for something slightly older. Delivery available.

He’s had the past year building up his current owners confidence after a riding accident from a different horse. He has done his job really well and she is now ready for the next one.
Fred would suit a confident novice. He is a cob, so he needs someone with legs that kick.

Fred is good in the heaviest traffic out hacking, never bothered by any other horse’s behaviour, great in open spaces,

Fred will happily live in or out, with mares or geldings,
He is a big, soppy boy on the ground. Easy to handle, is sedated to clip as he has ticklish legs but is very good and stands like a rock.

Fred is up to date with vaccinations. farrier, dentist, and physio.

He does prefer to see company when stabled and in the field, so he wouldn’t suit a solo yard.

King – Big Heart, Huge Potential, Looking for His Forever Person

Nottingham, NG12

King is a much-loved horse who is only available due to no fault of his own. This has been a very difficult decision, but my daughter’s health issues have meant she has been unable to ride, and she no longer has the confidence he truly deserves. Our absolute priority is finding him the right, knowledgeable home.

We purchased King in July 2025 from Smart Performance Horses (Sam Walton) for my daughter. Since then, he has been ridden regularly (around 4 times a week) by a loaner — usually schooling or hacking, weather dependent, especially over winter.
 

About King

King has the biggest heart and forms a strong bond with his rider. He is kind and not malicious in any way, but he does need a confident, reassuring person to bring out his best. He thrives on routine and enjoys having a job — keeping him mentally stimulated really suits him.

He works beautifully in the school, is responsive to leg and voice, and is willing and trainable.

He loves hacking and will go alone or in company. He can be a little more aware when alone, but he continues to improve with consistency. He has previously hunted and enjoys being out and about.

King can be spooky at times, but this is improving steadily with regular work and confident handling.
 

Environment & Handling

He is currently kept on a working farm and is completely used to sheep, farm machinery and general activity.

Good with farrier

Recently seen the dentist and behaved impeccably

Good to clip

Good ground manners, though benefits from confident handling

Loads and has previously transported well (has not travelled since we purchased him)

Happy to live in or out (currently mostly living out)

Bridle and rugs included, but no saddle, he is still growing so currently have one on loan.
