BALOU BEAR - just the best looking and nice nature'ed cob (possible a bias owner here!)

This lovely cob has so much quality and potential to shine in a range of homes/ disclipnes.

This is a very sad sale of Balou who was bought un-backed and riding well under saddle, is probably going to be more sporty that what is required, so the best possible home is sought for him as he is much loved.

Balou was backed around February of this year, spent a few weeks long reining and seeing the world, and soon took to hacking nicely. He has quietly ticked along gaining confidence and experience over the summer months and more recently had a super month with stunt rider Jake Cox. He proved a little reactive under inital assessment with Jake but soon grew in confidence and experience as the weeks progressed (including using a lance and leaning down to start and rev a quadbike! from ).

He hacks both along and in company, has been good with traffic and canters in open spaces with other horses. He has loose jumped twice and popped a few small fences proving brave and willing.

He is still learning the ropes so requires a competent, experienced rider. He is sold from the field due Balou proving too athletic and enthusiastic than I am ready to bring on, a lack of facilities and life circumstances.

He has a super character, is nice to have around, has been clipped, shod and bathed all without fuss, and lives easily in or out. True to type he is hardy, resiliant and low maintenance.

Balou has lots to give, and with lots of positive confident experiences he should go on to excel in may spheres - showing, hunting, grassroots all-rounder.

A good home is paramount, one that is willing to keep in touch. It would be lovely to see him flourish.

It’s with a heavy heart that we are having to part ways with Bella, she is the kindest most beautiful horse with bags of potential.

Maddie is going to college and has just lost interest. She is super special with us owning Prada her mam (pocket rocket), and by an Arab stallion.

Approx 15hh, 11 years old. (Rider is 5’7 for reference)

She has good bone and is a total sweetheart.

- She is green in the school but knows the basics, has a real presence when working and has a lovely jump on her just like P.

- She can be a nervous horse and takes confidence from her rider so no good for a complete novice.

- Has a small splint above fetlock that she’s had since a foal

- Lives on fresh air, do need to watch her with grass (never been muzzled just monitored) because of this but doesn’t have lami issues.

- More woah than go, but when you push the right button she work through lovely.

- Excellent to clip shoe dentist, will load but takes patience (bucket of food 🤣)

A loving home that will keep in touch.

She will be a perfect project for competent teen as has bags of potential especially in a working hunter type role, never been but think she would LOVE hunting, done RC activities, unaffiliated sj.

Realistic price, including all fitted tack.

Reggie is a 15 hh, 5 year old native cob gelding who is looking for a new 🏠.

He is good to load, travel and good for the farrier. He lives in or out, rugged or unrugged. He is a very good doer.

He is still a novice but has done lots of beach rides, arena hires, hacking and some shows this year. He absolutely loves jumping and I think he would love a home where he would have a varied life with lots to do. He loves to work, the more you do the more he enjoys and that’s partly the reason for this decision. I have not been in the greatest health for the past year and I feel he is being totally wasted.

I have took my time with Reggie, allowing him the time to grow and mature although he still is only 5. He is a quirky character but honestly he has the best personality and makes you laugh daily.

At his first ever ridden show he won and went coloured ridden champion.

He is the most unspooky horse, nothing ever bothers him. I took him to Stranraer show where we had kids hanging over railings, no warm up, tradestands around the ring and very loud tannoys. He never flinched at all.

This is actually quite a sore one for me so please no time wasters. He is still a baby so experienced home would be more beneficial. I feel he would love a teenager or adult who will take him and do a bit of everything.

This is so sad for me as I thought I was going to have him forever but unfortunately life changes. He has all the ability and talent to go far in whatever discipline.

Buster – The Gentle Giant

Buster is a fabulous 10-year-old standing at over 17hh. He is a lovely, kind and genuine horse with a big presence and an even bigger heart. He is a similar type to a Shire, although has no recorded breeding.

Been-there-and-done-it type. Despite his size, he is polite, kind and easy to handle for all members of the family. He rides nicely off the leg, isn’t strong or silly, and is never spooky or sharp. He happily loads on a trailer or lorry making him an easy horse to take out and about, even if you’re on your own. Turns out on his own or with company and always easy to catch as he comes to call.

Buster is a very versatile horse who enjoys turning his hoof to a bit of everything. He has lovely uphill paces, is totally willing and enjoys jumping. He has attended fun rides and training shows and takes everything in his stride. He moves nice and straight for such a big horse.

No vices, is equally happy hacking alone or in company, is good in open spaces and excellent in traffic, making him a lovely confidence-giving ride. Would suit a wide range of riders - a family horse, a gentlemans hunter, or equally be suited to a riding school environment. He is anybody’s ride.

Genuine reason for sale. This lovely big lad really is a pleasure to be around and has so much to offer his next home.

🌸 Beautiful Peggy – 5★ Home Wanted 🌸

My beautiful Peggy is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of her own. This is a very difficult sale, so I am looking for a truly special, 5★ home for her.

Peggy has been a broodmare three times and bred 3 beautiful foals of one I brought before buying Peggy.

After having one of her foals, I decided to keep her myself and give her the opportunity to have a new career. She is an absolute pleasure to have around and has a lovely nature.

She is a traditional gypsy cob with her full feathers and beautiful long mane.

Peggy is fantastic on the ground and is exceptionally easy to handle. She will stand happily to be brushed, plaited and fussed over all day long. She is:

⭐ Fantastic for the farrier ⭐ Excellent for the dentist ⭐ Brilliant to clip ⭐ Easy to lead and handle ⭐ Lovely to work with on the ground ⭐️ Easy to load.

As Peggy has primarily been a broodmare, her ridden education has unfortunately taken a back seat. I bought her with the intention of bringing her on, but she is still very green under saddle and needs a confident, kind and sympathetic rider who has the time, patience and experience to help her progress.

She is not a novice ride and can be forward when in the saddle.

She has been having professional training twice a week and has been lunged and long-reined. She is willing and has been given a good foundation, but she now needs someone who can dedicate more time to her than I am able to offer.

I have been told Peggy has previously been ride and drive, although I have not personally hacked her or done any driving with her since owning her, so I would like any prospective home to treat her as green and bring her on accordingly.

Her back, feet and teeth are all up to date, with no known issues.

Peggy is not being sold as a ready-made riding horse. She is being sold as a lovely, genuine mare with the potential to develop into a fantastic partner for the right person. She needs someone experienced, confident, patient and, most importantly, kind, who will give her the time she deserves.

Full wardrobe included.

This is an incredibly hard sale and Peggy will only be sold to a 5★ home where I am confident she will be loved and given the time and patience she needs.

Please no time wasters. Serious enquiries only, and I would be very happy to answer any questions about Peggy.

“Bea” is a beautifully put together 6yo 16hh Irish Draft X out of Class 1 ID stallion “Irish Mist” & award winning show cob “Prismatic Spring”. 3 naturally uphill & elastic paces, with plenty of bone whilst still being sporty enough & having a big enough “engine” to have a future in any sphere. 

Having been given time to mature, Bea has been to a number of arena hires, fun rides, clinics & cross country schooled, showing a positive outlook to life & new experiences. She has also been ridden by young teenage girls & adapted excellently. She is honest, bold & just wants a job to do and a person who will love her for the kind and talented girl she is. 

She has begun basic lateral work, auto changes around a course of fences & is happily jumping 80/90cm courses. She maintains an excellent rhythm & has a soft but careful jump. She does have a large, powerful canter & although beautifully schooled, is obviously still green and sensitive in areas - So will not be sold to a novice home. Great in traffic & very easy to do. Will be very sad to see her go! Please see video below

17.2hh, roan, 4 year old, unregistered Clydesdale, gelding.

A total BFG Rodney is an absolute sweet heart bought and backed produced by ourselves last year.

I bought with the view of him being used in the trekking centre as he has the right temperament. However, he is just to too big for our Welsh narrow hills and trails.

He has a lovely laid back attitude to life and would make a lovely family horse. He just wants to please and is more about life in the slow lane but has such a willing and kind attitude to life.

He is always ridden in a snaffle, he rides alone or in company.

He happily lives in or out and has lived with a mixed herd.

Rodney has a lot of making up and maturing to do and is big and lanky currently with that in mind he is offered at competitive price which would have wiggle room to the right humans.

He is currently on sales livery in Warwickshire as I’m currently out of action.

£6,500 Ono

Oakfield April 🐴🤍🖤

April is a beautiful 6-year-old mare, standing at approximately 15hh. Born and bred here on the farm, she has been carefully produced and is a much-loved member of our team.

She is easy to catch, shoe, bath etc and is a kind, easy horse to handle and have around.

She has spent the last three seasons working in our trekking centre. During her first two seasons, she was mainly used as a back guide’s horse and this year she has truly come into her own - confidently carrying riders of all abilities, from complete beginners to more experienced riders. She is happy travelling in the middle or at the back of a ride and is gaining confidence leading from the front.

She is very laid back for a 6 year old, she is excellent in traffic, around farm machinery and has proven herself to be a safe, genuine and reliable horse.

Although most of her experience has been gained through hacking, she is schooling nicely, has shown promise over small jumps and is quick to learn.

April currently lives happily in a large mixed herd. We believe she has plenty of potential and, in the right home, could go on to excel in a variety of disciplines.

This is a very difficult sale, and she is only available due to the closure of our trekking centre and reduction in stock. We would love to see her find a knowledgeable, loving home where she can continue to thrive and reach her full potential.

• Manners to burn
• Ideal Mother teenager share

A post I have been putting off writing. My Beautiful Welsh Section D Mare is looking for a new postcode.

She is a big upstanding 5 year old with the head of a model and the bottom of a cook!

She was beautifully started by Sarah and bought on by Tamsyn to become a sensible, sensitive pony with manners to burn. This year she has contested a handful of novice classes to get her out and about. She will be ready to step up into opens next year, whether it be for juniors or open Section D classes. She is lovely to hack and has done so with quite novice riders. She has brakes, balance and comes off your leg.

We feel she will make a fabulous Mother Child share she could even step away from showing and become a top class pony club or dressage pony.

She is extremely balanced and has the best engine you could ever wish for and really engages her hocks.

She stands I think about 15hh and has a huge front, not measured her officially.

Last year she did have a field accident and needed an operation, she spent several months recovering which I will fully disclose to any interested parties.

I literally love the bones of this mare and I have dreamed for many years of owning something quite as beautiful. However, our little team have a passion for Fell ponies, this is the direction they want to continue to go. It’s no good me trying to persuade them otherwise!

If I was 30 years younger I would be enjoying her myself so I have made the difficult decision of finding her someone that will appreciate her as much as I do.

Cobs like her do not appear often. She will not be cheap for the incredible amount of work that has gone into her but I am totally realistic on price, given what happened last year.

Please don’t ask for endless videos I can’t get them if you are genuinely interested please pop me a message and come and see her. You won’t be disappointed! She is based in Derbyshire.

If there was any other way then I wouldn’t be writing this!
