Luna

16hh, 4 year old Suffolk Punch x Warmblood
This mare is oozing with potential, she has a genuine temperament and a bright future ahead of her.

Luna is eye-catching mare with plenty of presence and is a real foot-in-each-corner type, she has been in the same home all her life and has been given the time to mature correctly. Recently backed and started her education, she is proving willing, trainable and eager to learn.

She is riding away nicely and, whilst still green, has a sensible attitude towards her work. She boasts three correct, uphill paces and is ready for someone to continue her education and put their own stamp on her.

She would suit a knowledgeable home looking for a quality young horse to produce further. She has all the attributes to make a lovely all-rounder and is ready for her next chapter.

Her breeding speaks for itself, with her brother having competed successfully at both HOYS and the Royal International and having qualified again this year.

Good to load and travel
Good to handle on the ground
Sweet, affectionate nature
Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and physio
Same home since birth

A genuine, unspoilt young mare with a bright future ahead of her. A very sad sale, and she will only be available to the very best of homes where her education can continue.

Top class Blagdon traditional cob

  • Fabulous mover and good length of rein
  • Great presence with 'look at me' quality
  • He would suit a competent home producer or professional
£8,500 OIRO

  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 5 years

  • Fabulous mover and good length of rein
  • Great presence with 'look at me' quality
  • He would suit a competent home producer or professional

Colin is a 15hh (153cm ) 5 yr old traditional Blagdon cob gelding .

I bought him as a just backed 3 yr old for my daughter to show , she then decided to go traveling ! I kept him as he needed time to mature and is is such a super type and easy to have around. Fast forward and I started him again putting in lots of ground work , he was so easy , riding nicely, has never bucked , reared or napped but is very green .

His progress has been cut short due to illness in the family and my daughter Is unable to ride .

Colin has the best feather I’ve seen on a cob , from the back of his knee , straight and silky and loads of it , he’s got plenty of bone , clean through his hocks and no lumps , bumps or extras . He would potentially strip out but I’ll leave that to his new owner to make that decision.

Colin sits up and looks through the bridle , fabulous mover and good length of rein . Great presence with ‘look at me ‘ quality .

He’s content being in or out without company and equally happy out with mares ( I don’t have any other geldings .

He is vice free , teeth, vaccines , feet ( bare foot ) all up to date . He is currently not in work and this is reflected in his price . He is far from being established but I truly believe that a few weeks back into a routine of work he would be flying ( not literally)

He would suit a competent home producer or professional. No novices or nervous Nellie’s , hes young and a novice , id hate to see him ruined by inexperienced hands as he’s got so much potential. Hes a sweet boy , lovely kind temperament a if he was a year younger id keep him but he needs a job . Happy to answer any questions but i wont reply to texts.

  • Such an easy boy to care for, can be left for weeks without exercise just an all round happy boy.
Diesel truly is a handsome black beauty with a big heart. His mum is a Fell and his dad is a Dales x Clydesdale. I’ve owned him since he was weaned off his mum at 5 months old and the last 13.5 years have been the best. He has been the easiest boy in all ways. This is a very sad sale due solely to me planning to emigrate and it would not be a suitable move for my beautiful boy.

Diesel is an enthusiastic, genuine horse who knows his job and always wants to please. He looks after his riders perfectly and even if you’re on the ground he will make sure your safe.

He would suit a teen or young adult looking for a horse to have hours of fun with — someone who enjoys a intelligent horse with a super chilled temperament.

Showjumping & Competition:

Showjumping has been done many years ago
but hasn’t done much in recent years, so is a little rusty.
Has been to local shows in hand and ridden through this time and always receives amazing comments from the judges and in the ribbons.
He has also competed in dressage where he again always gets a ribbon in the top 3.

He has scope, technique, and huge enthusiasm for all disciplines. He has been on camps, been out to clinics and also been on horsey holidays where he rides out safely onto the moors with sheep and tractors etc.

Temperament & Suitability:

Diesel is a horse who forms strong bonds with his people and will love you deeply. He’s been a favourite among all people that have had the pleasure of riding him or spending time with him, winning them over with his playful, affectionate nature. He just loves everyone.

Hacking & Everyday Behaviour:

- Hacks alone or in company, is used many a time to support green or spooky horses because he is so chilled and gives off a relaxing vibe.
- Good to shoe, clip, catch (will come to call), load (trailer and box) and good for the dentist and physio.
- No vices at all and never sick or sorry.
- Good manners on the ground and under saddle has never put a hoof wrong.

Diesel is a talented, enthusiastic loving horse who will love you endlessly which is why I can’t be selfish and need to think of the best thing for him. This will be a wonderful opportunity for someone wanting a fun, a capable horse with the talent to progress and enjoy each discipline.

If you’re looking for a genuine, loveable character who would be a perfect mother daughter share or just a teen wanting to enjoy trips out and a safe fun ride, Diesel would be the perfect boy.

Tack etc available as separate negotiation.

15.2hh 5yo British Bred Irish Draught Mare – “Dorothy” – Exceptional Breeding, Quality and Temperament, 9.5” bone

Sire : Aye Aye Skipper
Dam : Ashill Silver Lady (Fast Silver)

Dorothy came to us as an unbroken youngster and we have really taken our time with her, she hasn’t been rushed and overworked for her age like a lot of the pure breds on the current market
She was left until she was 4.5yr old to be brought in and started and was given the time to mature and develop which we believe has really paid off.

Old fashioned stamp of a pure bred Irish Draught mare with beautiful conformation, movement and all the attributes to excel in a variety of disciplines.

She has been carefully and correctly produced with her future in mind, never rushed and always given time to mature. She is now progressing nicely in her education, working in a soft, correct outline on the flat, she moves beautifully with nice transitions and has started popping a small fence with a willing and trainable attitude.

Dorothy is a pleasure to have on the yard and truly is the sweetest mare inside and out – a real yard favourite who will be very sadly missed. She is good to hack both alone and in company, and takes everything in her stride.

She is easy to do in all ways – good to clip, bath, farrier, and dentist. She has a laid-back, kind temperament and does not need to be in constant work, making her easy to pick up and enjoy even after time off.

This is a genuine quality mare with a bright future ahead. She is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and has all the potential to excel as a top show cob or a genuine, high-class allrounder.

Totally clean legs, no vices, no lumps or bumps, easy to catch, load, handle, trim (with clippers) bath, farrier etc

Up to date with vaccines, farrier (barefoot) dentist and worming.

A very special mare looking for a 5?? home, always been very well loved and will only go to the best homes

Darla has 3 comfortable, balanced paces and doesn't ride "big" at all. Does everything in a snaffle. Happily jumping small courses with scope to improve. She has hacked, hunted, showjumped and done clinics, riding club camp and fun rides in Ireland.

Hacks out alone, although prefers company. Great in traffic.
