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.

  • Lovely allrounder / RC horse

Sire: Rockrimmon Robusticus
Grand Sire: Castana
Dam Sire: Mountain Pearl

Lovely allrounder / RC horse.

Super chilled boy who’s schooling nicely on the flat (but can be a little lazy) and jumping small fences well. He comes into a fence nice and steady and just gives everything enough jump. Currently seems comfortable around 70cm, I’m sure as he gets fitter and stronger this will improve.

Doesn’t seem spooky or silly at all.

Previously been to:
• Beach rides
• Arena hires
• Unaffiliated dressage (1st at Intro with 70.9%)
• Unaffiliated clear round

Merlin is good to hack alone and in company.
Great to clip and for the farrier.

Merlin can be prone to a tight back which is currently managed with regular physiotherapy. For this reason, he would not be suited to a jumping-focused home but would excel as a lovely allrounder or riding club horse.

Bear is a stunning dun cob with plenty of bone, sure to mature into a smart, weight-carrying type. His education has begun and his price will increase as he continues to progress.

He displays all the right attributes to excel in any sphere. Bear has a kind, level-headed temperament, takes new situations in his stride, and has a naturally inquisitive nature.

He loads perfectly, is easy to catch, and good to bath and groom. He has also started wearing tack and is proving straightforward in his early training.

Bear would make an uncomplicated and rewarding project for someone looking to produce a quality cob.

(Bear is super bum high at the moment and will gain muscle and mass as he matures).

No lumps, bumps, vices, or anything untoward.

Up to date with worming and vaccinations.

Open to any viewing or vetting.

Megan - approx 15.2, 5 year old cob x mare (no breeding recorded).

Megan is a super sweet character with a chilled outlook on life!

Before coming over from Ireland she had only hacked so is super out hacking, goes alone or in company, loves to box up for a hack in the woods and pop a log. Good in the traffic we’ve met to date on our busy road here and good with the farm machinery round the place.

Works away in the field, has done some XC schooling and popped some fences in the arena. She has a great jump and really enjoys it.

Just done a months hunting at the end of this season and has been absolutely fantastic! Hunted in front and behind, good with hounds, stands at the meet, good to get on and off, has hung back and done gates, led the field jumping or will que and jump in the field, leads other horses. She really would make someone a fantastic hunter for next season.

Works in the arena but can be a tad cheeky sometimes, nothing that will trouble a rider with a sense of humour. In time she’d happily pop off and do some low level eventing/dressage.

I’d love to find her a home that loves hacking/fun rides/hunting/clinics/low level competition etc. Just fun!

Easy to have around the yard, good to catch, clip, load, travel, bath. Barefoot with rock crunching feet. Absolutely loves a fuss and a groom she falls asleep when she’s having her mane plaited!

Tommy has hacked alone and in company, has popped a small rustic and coloured course, has lovely balanced paces. He has the kindest temperament and enjoys his work proving to be very versatile and keen to learn.

He has the most wonderful brain, works beautifully on the flat, and is extremely well balanced. He is already producing lovely changes and is proving to be very trainable and eager to learn.

Tommy has successfully shown in hand proving to be comfortable and settled in show environments.

Tommy is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and he is going to make an incredible horse who we feel would excel in WH classes. Would also do a beautiful dressage test.

Good to shoe, bath, clip, handle.

Tommy is sensible enough for a variety of riders but due to his age he wouldn’t be suited to a novice or nervous rider.

A true future superstar who will excel in any discipline, a real head turner and all round lovely boy.

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder

  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
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.

Berry

  • Registered shire mare
  • Weight carrying Confidence giver
  • Armchair ride

Berry is a registered Shire mare standing at approximately 17.2hh. She is just the sweetest, kindest horse with a loving and kind temperament. She’s easy to catch, clip, bath, load & travel, and good for the farrier, with no stable vices.

Berry is only ever ridden in a snaffle. She will hack alone or in company, is good in traffic, and is totally unflappable. She is not frightened of articulated lorries, rattling trailers, motorbikes, push bikes, walkers, dogs, paper bags or scary flapping pheasants. She is also ok and very used to farm machinery & livestock.

Loves going down the pub and meeting new friends (especially if they happen to have some treats!!) standing quietly while you have a pint (or two) and will stand patiently while you try to get back on!

She will happily turn out in a herd or alone. She just settles right in and minds her own.

She has very good basic flatwork, with good upward and downward transitions, and is not at all a struggle to ride. Kick to go & pull to stop type ride. She loves having a jump and will take you to a fence and get you safely over the other side. When taken cross-country schooling, she happily popped around everything: ditches, water, timber, and small hedges.

We took her on a fun ride in April with the Staff College Drag Hounds, happily plodding along in her little snaffle on the end of the buckle with a novice lady rider. She was happy in a large group and, at no point, did she get silly or strong; she even jumped some of the bigger timber fences around Barossa.

Berry would be an asset to any mounted police force, RDA centre, riding school, or a lovely all-rounder family share. She really is a genuine confidence giver.

Nicely schooled on the flat and would produce a lovey dressage test. She works consistently in a soft outline with good transitions and is nicely off the leg.

Out hacking she is brave and unflappable & is unfazed by heavy traffic. Nice forward going ride.

We took her to a fun ride in April with the staff college drag hounds where she was a lot of fun!

Dotty is good to do in al ways with no stable vices. Easy little mare to have around, you can park her anywhere and you won’t know she’s even there.

Won’t suit very young novice children.

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.

Clydesdale x continental - Superb weight carrying straight and striking mare mare

  • Professionally produced
£6,750 no VAT
  • ISH / WB
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 16.3 hands
  • Professionally produced
Big Betty - I've broken and produced this mare carefully and slowly due to her size - I spent the first six weeks just hacking her through the forests and popping the odd logs and over a few dykes.

Betty rides beautifully in the arena and for such a lump of a mare is very light off the ground and you can hold her effortlessly into the tack.

Betty is ready to go out competing now and I'd be very surprised even with an amateur rider she wouldn't be a the top of the placings.

Betty hacks both alone and in company and goes both in front and behind and will turn for home and leave the other horse if I need to head back early.

Betty moves unbelievably well and what I really like about her is that she has the temperament of her Irish mother a Clydesdale mare with all the quality of her continental stallion - centre stage.

Id really hope Big Betty would find a home to fulfill her full potential but on the other hand I'm equally open for her to have a leisurely life making someone happy after a hards days work on an evening.

Big Betty is both blemish and vice free and I've many videos available on request.
