Smokey Black, serious heavyweight gelding. 17/17.1hh now, but has not got a high wither and feels about 18hh when you're close to him.

This is one serious powerhouse of a Viking warrior's war horse! Looks like Thor should be riding him into Valhalla.

Floats like a butterfly with movement that makes you think he couldn’t possibly have the 10’’ of clean bone that he has. We jumped him for the first time today, and he pops 1.30 without having to make the slightest effort.

He is bold, brave, athletic, smooth-moving, handsome, and totally clean-limbed.

Raven’s father is the famous C1 Irish Draught stallion Corrindon Dancer, who won the Royal Dublin Show. I bred his mother, and she is ISH (Ballinvella) x Czech WB (Falko). Dam is the maternal half-sister to the dam of the multiple winning HW buckskin stallion Hallslake Nimrod (look him up), whom I also bred. The Ballinvella TB in the back breeding has given Raven athleticism and refinement, which, in such a huge and heavy horse, is just mind-blowing when you see him move. Genetically, I believe Raven is technically a Smoky Black as his mother is buckskin, so he has some 'dun' markings on his flank, but otherwise, when not sun bleached, he's very black.

Currently 4 years old and a raw blank canvas, having been with us from a foal. We haven’t ever even put a bridle on this boy yet. We have given him plenty of time to fill up his big frame, and mature. He has had his hooves looked after, been regularly wormed, and come in the barn for winters and lived out all summer in a herd. He is not clingy, is happy to be caught and moved away from friends, and stabled or transported without insecurity. He loads well in a trailer or lorry as he has been moved to different grazing between seasons. He can be rugged or left naked. He has no ailments or allergies and is vice-free, totally clean-limbed and straight-moving. He is kind, clever, and easy-going, naturally bold, and will be easy to break in.

What is his job going to be, and where would you find another one??

War Horse? Hunter? Show Horse? Dressage? Large person eventer? Battle reenactment horse? Jousting? Police horse? He genuinely could be absolutely anything.

We usually start our own horses undersaddle, but sometimes we find that buyers are looking to start from the begining themselves, so we are offering Raven raw initially, but we are also happy to get him backed for his purchasers if it is desired. If he is not sold during July, we will get him going, with a view to doing an hour or two of trail hunting over our fabulous, rugged terrain of Exmoor by Autumn. I honestly think he will be an absolute pleasure to get going and will be one hugely impressive horse under saddle.

Anyone looking for a horse that looks like a battering ram but moves like a show pony…. Give me a shout!

We are based near Lynton/Lynmouth on Exmoor, Devon/Somerset borders, and can help with delivery.

• Chestnut
• Gelding
• 6 years
• 15.1hh / 155cm

• True Allrounder in the making
• Proven Hunter / X country machine!
• Beautiful Soul who wants to please and is willing t to learn

This beautiful young gelding was bred and started in Ireland where he was mainly hacked out alone and hunted throughout the previous season. He proved to be polite with the dogs and other horses, standing at the meet. Bold and brave jumping all that he was faced with.

He was imported at the start of March '25 and given time to settle in whilst continuing with basic lunging and groundwork before spending 3 months with a professional trainer being restarted in the saddle, ensuring the basics were established in the arena, hacking out at the weekends He went on to start some lateral work and saw his first coloured fences. He began to accept both leg and the hand coming into a nice outline. He now needs to learn to stretch down working over his back more consistently seeking the contact and trusting the riders hand.

He received a glowing report and hadn't put a hoof wrong.

He is keen to please and proves very trainable can become a little anxious when unsure what is being asked of him looking to the rider for support For this reason he is not currently a Novice ride.

At this point it was believed he was unsuitable for his older disabled owner (me!) to ride. I decided to keep him and found a young rider to help bring him on with the hope he would mature and become more suitable. Sadly my health has deteriorated further and so I've concluded it's time to sell.

In the stable he is sweet and easy. He is still a young horse and is a little anxious if a stranger rushes him trying to throw a rug on without introducing themselves and saying "hello" first. Introductions over and he's an angel to handle, groom, tack up, muck out etc with or without being tied up in the stable. He will tie up outside and wait patiently with a hay net!

He is super to clip, including his head, jaw ears and under belly he will fall asleep with his headcollar over one ear, untied in the middle of a busy yard!

He is good to shoe, load and travel in a box or trailer. Good to lead, easy to catch. Enjoys attention and has always been gentle with small children and animals. He stands quietly to be hosed off all over, again untied if needed.

He is happy to have a rider legged up. At the mounting block he was initially anxious but this was worked on with gentle desensitization. Now he is more confident. With the rider in the saddle he will sometimes walk forwards. He never rushes off but this is a work in progress he will be gently reminded of his manners to wait until asked to move off. He doesn't bolt rear or buck.

Although he is not currently for a Novice rider as he is a very forward, reactive to the leg and sensitive in the hand. A confident novice rider who enjoys a forward sensitive soul would likely be ok fine. He requires further training and maturity to become the true alrounder he is already showing the potential to be. I do allow my very novice 9 year old granddaughter to ride him supervised in a small arena in walk and trot and he looks after her beautifully.

Over the past eleven months he has attended and enjoyed many pole work clinics, flat work lessons, general schooling sessions and some hacking on and off site. He is great with large vehicles and farm tractors, trailers, working machinery, lorries horse boxes etc. Also all road traffic he has met.

More recently he has started to attended jumping clinics showing a beautiful natural bascule over a fence (generally 70-80 courses showing scope for much more) Recently clearing 1.05/1.10 during a fun event. He has also participated in X country training really finding his feet, covering the ground well and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

He has started some unaffiliated competition and has been successful at dressage, show jumping and showing.

He truly has the makings of a great alrounder turning his hoof to anything with a smile on his face!

He does sound rather perfect doesn't he?

Which reading this ad makes me wonder why I'm selling him?

As I've said my health is deteriorating and is not likely to improve. He came into my life following the devastating loss of my previous horse and helped me through and I've thoroughly enjoyed his company. But he deserves to find a longer term home where he can be given further training and opportunity to thrive and reach his true potential.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to come and meet this wonderful boy. He is kept in livery on a large equestrian centre with excellent facilities.

Price negotiable to the right home. With tack, rugs etc again negotiable within price.

Romeo – The Ultimate Confidence Giver

15hh 10-Year-Old Cob Gelding

Romeo is an exceptional 15hh, 10-year-old Cob gelding who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable and a genuine weight carrier, making him suitable for a wide range of riders—from complete beginners, nervous adults and children, RDA riders, those with additional learning needs, right through to more experienced riders looking for a calm, reliable partner.

Romeo is beautifully put together and truly is a horse who has been there, done that. Calm, considerate and always willing to please, he is the definition of safe and steady. He has far more “whoa” than “go” for less experienced riders, yet for a capable rider he has another gear when asked. His adaptability allows him to happily carry a complete novice one day and then enjoy a more forward ride with an experienced rider the next.

The Ultimate All-Rounder

Romeo has spent the last 12 months working in a professional riding school, where he has excelled with every type of rider, from complete beginners to advanced riders, both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

He has extensive experience in private and group flatwork lessons and regularly takes part in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. Romeo absolutely loves to jump and is confident over coloured and rustic fences, showing a careful, honest and bold technique. Prior to joining us, he competed successfully at low level in showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and has also enjoyed hunting.

Hacking is one of Romeo’s greatest strengths. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to some of the heaviest traffic imaginable, including double-decker buses, articulated lorries, tractors and all types of farm machinery. Nothing fazes him. He remains calm and relaxed in every environment and never becomes strong or silly. He can gallop across open fields with loose horses running alongside him before immediately coming back to walk on a long rein or standing quietly while other horses continue galloping around him. He is genuinely one of the most sensible horses you could wish to ride and is never sharp, spooky or silly.

During his time at the riding school, Romeo has been nothing short of outstanding. He is incredibly forgiving when riders lose their balance, lose a stirrup or make a mistake into a fence. He always looks after his rider and never takes advantage. His substantial build, combined with his calm temperament, sure-footedness and kind nature, gives nervous riders enormous confidence. He will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as required without moving a foot.

I can honestly say Romeo has no quirks, vices or unpleasant traits.

Although perfectly happy to amble along at a quiet pace, Romeo is responsive to the leg and offers three lovely, balanced paces. For a more experienced rider he will happily work into a soft outline while remaining relaxed and obedient. He has never bucked, reared, bolted, kicked or bitten. He is ridden in a simple snaffle at all times with no gadgets whatsoever.

Outstanding Manners

Romeo has impeccable manners both in and out of the stable. He will happily stand for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar. He is polite, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle.

He is equally happy living in or out and settles well whether stabled individually or turned out in a mixed herd, he is currently in a mixed herd and solo field in between lessons.

Romeo has an excellent health history and has never suffered from laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any significant lumps, bumps or soundness issues.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy feet but is equally happy to be shod if preferred. He is excellent to catch, clip, bath, load, travel, shoe, and is a pleasure for the farrier, vet and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance and requires no daily work. He can enjoy weeks or even months off before returning to work exactly the same horse. He maintains his condition well on a simple diet and is exceptionally easy to manage in every respect.

Romeo has also recently passed our annual Riding School Licence Inspection, the equivalent of a Stage 2 veterinary inspection.

A Horse You’ll Struggle to Replace

Romeo is a genuinely rare horse. Whether you’re looking for a confidence giver, a safe hacking companion, a family horse, an RDA-type horse, a riding club horse or simply an honest all-rounder to enjoy, he ticks every box.

He is a genuine schoolmaster who gives his rider confidence every time they sit in the saddle and will undoubtedly provide his next owner with many years of enjoyment.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular riding school stock rotation, we give our horses the opportunity to move on to loving private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-to-one attention and a more varied lifestyle. Romeo has been an exceptional member of our team and now deserves a wonderful forever home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available.

• Partbred Irish Draught Mare
• A super model who wants to please
• Would make a wonderful Mother/Daughter share

Wendy stands 15hh and at the moment stands up behind so will make 15.1hh I would think.

She is nicely put together with quality LW limb which needs little trimming. A good straight mover with nice paces. She is still green in the school so will take some time but I think will be nice but she would equally enjoy to do anything else!

She is now 5 I bought here as a 3 year old from Ireland, I have given her time to mature.

She is well hacked having been ridden by various friends who come for a bit of “Me” time!! She would really wants to please, she’s sweetheart.

She hacks out alone too but gets her 10,000 steps in then! She has done a little in the school so can do the basics.

She has jumped all our hunt jumps and enjoyserself. Wendy has been to arena hire and been on some Farm Rides. She used to Farm life and the machinery that goes with it. Good in traffic met to date.

She is good on the ground as I walk with a stick and have a mobility scooter. Good to clip trim shoe etc. Very easy on the ground in all respects

Very much a blank canvas with the basics established so could go on and have any number of of career opportunities. A good amateur cob to be aimed at The LIHS Rising Stars also eligible for Partbred Irish Draught Class.

Wendy is a lovely person and really really would love to be someone’s horses as she loves all the fuss and attention you can give - she falls asleep being trimmed! Sadly for sale due to my ongoing health issues. I want to find her a home where she will be loved and adored. I will miss her when she’s gone.

• Mare
• 7 years
• 16hh / 163cm

• Eye catching red dun Irish mare, 16hh, rising 7 years old
• Super hacking and all round temperament
• Willing honest and easy to do

This lovely mare has been in the same home since birth and has been a much-loved family horse throughout her life. She has also bred two beautiful foals, meaning that despite being seven years old, she has low mileage and is ready for someone to enjoy and continue her education.

She has plenty of experience hacking both alone and in company, attending fun rides and trips to the pub. She is sensible, genuine and unfazed by traffic and farm machinery, making her a pleasure to hack and have around.

She has been with me on behalf of her owner for the past two weeks. Before arriving, she had done very little schooling, but she has taken to it exceptionally well and has improved every day. Today she popped a selection of small fences for the very first time and proved to be incredibly honest, brave and willing.

She is an absolute pleasure to handle and do. Good to catch, tie up, load and travel, and I’ve happily clipped her head with face clippers. She is currently shod in front only.

She is currently kept on a busy competition yard where she has taken everything in her stride. She is kind, straightforward and genuinely lovely to have around. Lives in or out.

A real quality mare who takes up the leg exceptionally well, with plenty of bone and substance while still being athletic enough to turn her hoof to almost any job. She has all the foundations to make a fantastic Riding Club horse, hunter, happy hacker or all-rounder.

A top-quality, honest mare with a very bright future ahead of her.

• Loving 5 Star Home Awaits
• 16-17hh
• Quiet Private Yard with dedicated owner

I'm searching for a kind, genuine horse to become part of the family. This is a long-term, forever home on a peaceful private yard where every horse is treated as an individual, pampered endlessly, and loved like a best friend.

With my new equine partner I'd love to spend time out hacking, doing the occasional fun ride, an annual beach trip, schooling at home up to Novice level, and some low level dressage shows. I'm looking for a family horse rather than a competition type that needs daily riding.

Said horse needs to be 16-17hh and can be of any age as attitude and temperament are of most importance. I would consider slightly smaller if a smart cob type. The main priority is that my new horse is super safe and non spooky to hack alone and in company, not silly in groups and rock solid in traffic. As long as nice basic paces are there I am happy to put in the work on the flat. Horse must be a quiet personality that enjoys a peaceful home not the hustle and bustle of a busy livery yard. I have a mini bestie here waiting to meet him new mate!

I have a mid teen budget for the perfect horse and a stable ready and waiting. I have a great team of professionals around me and I would be delighted to keep in contact. I am not a overly confident rider (or person!) but I can ensure you I will provide a knowledgeable and experienced home for a genuine horse and I can of course supply references.

• Irish Draught
• Grey
• Mare
• 5 years
• 16.3hh / 171cm

• Has done light schooling and a lot of hacking
• She’s very curious and brave for a youngster

Heartbreaking sale of my much-loved mare Iris. Finding the right home is my absolute priority.

I’ve owned her since she was 2 and have carefully backed her alongside my trainer. She is a chunky, hardy type with plenty of presence, she’d make a great hunter.

Together we’ve done light schooling and a lot of hacking around village lanes, both in company and with someone on foot. We’ve not yet hacked completely solo, but once she’s built trust with a confident handler/rider, I think she’d be great to hack solo as she’s happy to take the lead when out in company. She can spook at a bird in the bushes, but is unfazed by traffic, tractors, sheep, cows, and general village life. She enjoys her ridden work, has always looked after me and tries her best. We’ve recently moved yards and now have access to some amazing hacking along bridleways and she’s taken it all in her stride.

Due to a change in circumstances in March, I have only been able to continue with groundwork and some light hacking. She’s ready for someone with the time and experience to bring her back into consistent ridden work and further her education. She will soon be schooled twice a week to build up her fitness. She will be an easy project for someone to help her reach her full potential – all of the foundations are there.

She is still young and can be opinionated on the ground when unsure, so is therefore not suitable for a novice and requires a confident, knowledgeable home. Whilst she’s not particularly forward going in the school, she can be sharp given her age. She is very mareish so needs clear and consistent boundaries, particularly when she’s being handled. She’s very curious and brave for a youngster. I’ve done a lot of desensitising with her, and have also done working equitation (in hand as it was before she was backed), and she wasn’t phased by any of the obstacles.

Iris has previously lived out 24/7 quite happily. She’s now currently in during the day and out at night, and is good to do in the stable – she has no vices (other than being quite messy!). She previously had front shoes due to the bridleways at our last yard, but is currently barefoot with no issues – she has good, solid feet. Whilst I don’t have my own transport and therefore haven’t taken her out much, she does load and travel well in a 3.5T (what I have had access to). Her teeth and vaccinations are up to date.

More photos and videos available from when she was in regular work. Tack and rugs available.

This is an incredibly sad sale as I have invested a huge amount of time, effort and love into Iris and have formed a great bond with her. She has huge potential but sadly needs more work and consistency than I am able to provide.
