Broken last year he was turned away over the winter to mature and brought back in to work end of January. Since then he has been showjumping, jumping fillers and full courses, a flat showing clinic with a ride judge and arena eventing, which he loved.

This little horse is still very green and a long way off being the full package but he has taken on every challenge with enthusiasm and a willing attitude.

He is now ready for an experienced and competent person to continue his education.

Please no novices, he is a forward thinking fun cob who still needs guidance and his hand holding.

He will make a fantastic working show cob along with lots of potential in so many areas.

Absolutely no novices he needs someone used to going out competing, hunting and getting involved with lots of fun things!! he can do tiny bucks / hops when exited

Harley has 3 lovely paces on the flat, a good bold jump and is a pleasure to hack being bombproof, not strong or spooky, that being said he has mainly hacked in company due to napping issues there have been plenty of people who have hacked him solo but it does take time and trust!

He’s currently comfortable at rounds of 80cm with scope for more in the future with the right person

He jumps solid fences out hunting and any fillers

Up to date with everything, barefoot and a lovely boy who has never bitten or kicked!

Needs to be seen on viewing in arena and over any jumps / fillers, also the option to hack on a second viewing if wanted

The right home is paramount for Harley so please get in touch if he sounds like he’s a good fit for you

Nautrup’s Amaze Malou - Striking 8yrs old 15hh traditional blagdon cob

If you are looking for something special “Maisie” is the one for you. Maisie has a big easy stride and is very light on her feet. Plenty of bone and a ‘real look at me presence’ when she enters the ring.

From what we can tell Maisie was broken at 3 in Denmark and then had a foal. Imported after her foal and went to an older lady who we believe hacked her a bit before becoming ill.

Since being with me she has been to 2 shows, which we believe are her first shows ever, and she has come on each time out. Getting good comments from the judges at her showing show and coming 2nd in her second ever dressage test.

Maisie is not suitable for a novice rider as she is forward going and still needs educating due to being still green but a really exciting prospect for the showing season next year.

Good correct conformation and a lovely attitude. For sale due to not being right for current very novice riders.

Maisie is good to hack, shoe, catch etc… currently barefoot and coping well.

Comes with tack and rugs!

Top Class Dual-Graded Native Coloured Stallion

SOLD!

  • Stallion
  • 5 years
  • 14.2 hands
  • Dual-Graded with CHAPS & BSPA
  • Multi-Championship Winner - Exceptional Inhand CV
  • Beautiful Type - Correct Conformation - Kind & Mannerly
Rodney is a top-class, minimally marked native coloured stallion, rising five years old and standing at approximately 14.1hh. A stallion with tremendous bone, depth and true substance, combined with straight, correct movement and undeniable presence.

Despite being every inch the manly stallion, he is exceptionally mannerly and level-headed — you genuinely wouldn’t know he is entire. He has a laid-back outlook without ever being a plod; genuine, trainable and straightforward to work with.

Outstanding In-Hand Show Record - Lightly but very successfully shown as a yearling and three-year-old in youngstock classes, carefully campaigned and never over-produced. He has never been placed outside the top two, consistently Highest Placed Native / Hairy, including at:

Derbyshire Festival
Royal Windsor
CHAPS Championships
BSPA Championships
Equifest
Royal Three Counties
Great Yorkshire
Newark & Notts County
Staffordshire County
Royal Norfolk
Midlands Youngstock Show

Multiple Championships and Supremes to his name, building an exceptional CV from limited outings.


Rodney was backed at the beginning of 2025 and produced slowly and correctly with longevity firmly in mind. Last season’s aim was purely to secure grading credentials, which he achieved with ease:

-CHAPS UK Graded (In-Hand & Ridden)

-BSPA Graded (In-Hand & Ridden)

-Passed two 5-stage vettings

-PSSM1 Negative

-Full recorded breeding in his CHAPS passport

He is now established under saddle and ready to progress into novice ridden classes as a rising five-year-old, having been thoughtfully produced and never rushed. He absolutely loves to hack out, works nicely in the ménage and has attended several arena hires under-saddle.

Rodney has been in the same home since a foal. H is up to date with vaccinations, physio, dentist and farrier. He is Clean-limbed, no vices and is easy to handle and manage.

Ponies of this calibre very rarely come onto the open market.

Offered only due to complete lack of time. He is far too good to stand idle and will only be sold to a knowledgeable 10* home where his potential can be fully realised. Videos available upon request.

Can be viewed with Lucy Glover. Based in Nottinghamshire. Absolutely NO timewasters, picture or video collectors.

Serious enquiries only.

Friendly family cob/ steady hacker

  • Wonderful temperament
  • steady but willing ride
  • quality enough to show
SOLD!
  • Cob
  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 14 hands
  • Wonderful temperament
  • steady but willing ride
  • quality enough to show

The sweetest and most genuine cob you could wish for! To make someone very happy, a super family cob, happy hacker, would possibly suit riding school. Carrot is a super chap, as wide as he is tall and like riding a comfy small armchair. He loves his hacking alone and in company, hasn’t been at all bothered by any traffic met with us and is very sensible.

He’s not the fastest but not overly bothered if out in company and he gets left behind by his sportier friends! Carrot is working sweetly in the school in all paces and will trot over a little jump, he’s very keen to please, he is still green but obedient to the aids and learning about outlines; he’s naturally very together on the flat , he’s a lovely mover and will with further schooling do a lovely dressage test.

He’s a super model of a traditional cob who moves really well and would do well in show ring (TGCA would be ideal for him) He’s still on the greener side of things but a very simple ride and always tries to please, his brain is wonderful to work with. He has been ridden by a variety of riders with us from confident novice upwards, everyone loves him! He has the most lovely can do attitude and just gets on with whatever you ask of him. With a bit more schooling he will do a very neat dressage test. Whatever he ends up doing he will give a lot of fun.

Carrots lovely temperament continues in and out the stable, he’s excellent to catch, box, clip, bath, feet trim ( barefoot v good feet) and just wants to be your friend.

Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He doesn’t drive yet but would look wonderful in harness and has the right brain to do this job safely.

He has a lot to offer his new owners and we look forward to seeing him make someone really happy.

Beautiful stamp by ID Wesrn Blues

  • A very reliable horse to hack and hunt
  • Schools well with good paces and lots of presence
SOLD!
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Dark bay
  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Well bred by Western blues x Dock Leaf
  • A very reliable horse to hack and hunt
  • Schools well with good paces and lots of presence
Duchess is a serious stamp, that would excel as a show hunter, hunter or dressage horse.

Duchess is nicely bred, she is an Irish sports horse by ID stallion Western Blues out of an irish sports horse mare by Dock Leaf, she only has a small amount of TB blood, and to look at she looks like a full ID with good conformation and bone.

Duchess has previously been hunting in Ireland, once imported to the UK she has been in an amateur home enjoying hacking schoolwork, and riding club activities.

On the flat Duchess works in a beautiful outline showing off her stamp and presence. She is currently working at prelim/novice level with all the ability and attitude to go up the levels. She has competed at a training show with us, she was well behaved and judges commented on her correct way of going and ability.

Duchess hasn’t done an excessive amount of jumping due to her previous home not being jumpers. She has been around courses here of 70/80cm always progressing well and eager to please. She would be a super allrounder for someone wanting to have fun.

Duchess is good to hack alone and in company, and would certainly enjoy being back out on the hunt field, and recently did some fun rides. She is mannerly and does not get hot up in open spaces. Good in traffic, and is a reliable sort out hacking.

Duchess is not marish, she is good in the stable. She is good to catch, load, shoe, clip etc. She is a very easy horse to deal with and a pleasure to have on the yard.

For sale on behalf of a client, a sad sale with a genuine reason. Good home is priority.

No vices
Open to vet.

BILBO

Ref #: 399513
  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter
SOLD!
  • Cob
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter

Bilbo is well known to us as we sold him as a four year old to his current owner. She has done a bit of everything with him and sent him back to us 14 months ago to find a new home, when push came to shove she couldn’t bare to part with him and she took him home again, shortly after this finding out she was pregnant and so he has been on loan to a local equine college for the past year. Bilbo has decided that college life is not for him and he would like a more varied workload and so has returned to us as his owners family keeps growing and she’s now not in a position to have him home.

Although he has worked in the college riding school he has learnt to get a little cheeky with the novices. Since being with us and being properly ridden again he hasn’t put a hoof wrong. Bilbo has been nicely schooled and works very well on the flat, he’s done some unaffiliated dressage and would enjoy continuing this. He will happily jump round a course of 70/80cm currently, isn’t bothered by fillers, water trays etc. and is brave and genuine. He has had limited XC outings but again is brave and gives a good feeling over a fence. He’s a solid chap and obviously not bred to show jump but gives everything a go and is good fun. I would say a competent novice who wants to do a bit of everything would be ideal for him, hes not sharp or silly but has a brain and found riding school work very boring.

Bilbo loves his hacking both alone and in company, he’s good in open spaces and good in traffic. He needs to find a rider who will give him variety in his work as the more he does the sweeter he is. He hunted in his youth with us and loved it and would love to get out again

Bilbo is very easy in and out the stable, good to box, catch, shoe, clip etc. and happy to live in or out. He’s a nice person to have in on the yard.
