Irish Draught Cob x Welsh Section D

  • Safe sensible hack, fantastic in heaviest of traffic.
  • Easy to do in all ways, suit adult or child coming off ponies.
  • Good enough to show as a light weight cob.

This stunning cob filly has 8.5 inches of bone and is good enough for the show ring but kind enough to be your best friend. Would be very easy for an amateur to produce.

She is extremely friendly and easy to handle. Loves attention and being groomed. She is excellent with the farrier, good to catch, load and travel.

Missy has been professionally broken and ridden away. She is brilliant in all traffic, hacking on her own and in company. She rides on farm tracks, open fields, busy roads, around the working farm she lives on, over the flyover and along the side of the M62. She is fabulous to canter in open spaces and has a lovely light snaffle mouth. She is responsive to the leg, for her age without being sharp or spooky.

This smart young mare is safe and sensible beyond her years. She has never been ill or lame and was bought from her breeder as a weanling foal, so full history known.

She turns out with mares or geldings and is never a bully in a herd. No different to ride if worked daily, after a few days off or when in season.

This is a very sad sale as owner is giving up riding due to ongoing back problems.

Missy is a blank canvas ready to do a job and become someone's partner for life.

12 year old stallion , approx 16,1hh. CHAPS graded.

Gov is looking for a home as an allrounder/happy hacker or at a stud.

Gov has a lovely temperament. He has done a bit of everything, ridden & inhand showing, dressage (elementary level), pleasure rides and a little bit jumping for fun.

He absolutely loves to hack and will go alone or in company. He is great to shoe, bath, clip, catch, load etc. he has no vices. He is very affectionate and loves a cuddle. Can have a loving nibble every now and then but that’s as far as it goes.

We have mainly done ridden showing with him, Qualifying for HOYS in 2021 & 2023. However, he is now retired from showing and finds it boring. Gov would prefer to have fun, go on pleasure rides, hacking and beach rides.

He loves in-hand showing and although he has never covered with his temperament I think he would be an asset to a stud. He is PSSM1 negative.

He is a gentleman to ride and has been ridden by most of the family.

Gov deserves the best home and this of upmost importance.

Only for sale due to personal circumstances. 12 year old stallion , approx 16,1hh. CHAPS graded.

  • Going to be an absolute star in the showing world.

This beautiful cob gelding is a true 1 in a million of any cob you could possibly meet

He is going to be an absolute star in the showing world as he is as unique as he is  beautiful and he is a very good moving cob he moves 100% straight and is good and light on his feet and has very good hooves.

He has totally correct conformation

Admittedly he is a bit to fat at the moment due to me leaving him out too long in extremely good grass to babysit others  

He was measured today 30th june 25 and stands at 151 to 152 on his withers and he is 155 on his hind quarters and he is only a 4yr old so should easily grow more 

He is 4yr old and has been fully dna tested as i was going to keep him entire but i had him cut 12 months ago 

Murphy as he is very affectionly known has ben with me for 2.5years and was bought directly of the breeder he is the sweetest cob i have ever owned and ive had a few he loves people more than horses and you can do absolutely anything with him he has not ben backed as i dont ride but it will be a very very easy job to do with him 

He is completely clean limbed with no vices 

I would seriously love to see this boy in the show ring next year and not just being my farm pet please no timewasters as a very very good home is foremost

If he doesnt sell i will have him produced next year as he is undoubtedly a real top contender in the ring 

Open to a full veting

Tom is an 8 year old bay roan gelding, owned since a 2 year old. Clydesdale x Irish cob. (Bred in Ireland)

He has done a bit of everything and is happy to give anything a go. He is a lovely hack, snaffle mouthed and barefoot currently.

Tom is a versatile chap and is a yard favourite.

Tom has been used as a lead horse so would be great if accompanying children out hacking.

Tom has done some hunting and hound excercise and is a true gent on the field.

Tom has been to local shows, fun rides and swam in the sea. Tom has done a little jumping but it's not really his thing.

Tom has done a couple of dressage tests and does school nicely.

Tom is not fussed if he is not ridden daily and can be left with no issues.

I am reluctantly putting Tom for sale as I have started my own business and I cannot give him the time he deserves.

Tom can be strong on the ground (bolshy cob) so will require a knowledgeable handler.

Tom is not keen on being clipped but on occasions has let me clip him without sedation.

Full wardrobe available by negotiation.

Located in Devon.

  • Ready to produce
  • Recently passed 5 stage vetting

Holly is the perfect allrounder for someone to start putting their stamp on and a real yard favourite. We have had Holly for a few months and brought her on slowly and correctly. I feel she is now ready to go out and see the world and start her competitive career.

We have done a bit of everything with her and she is a very willing mare showing a lot of potential. She is working beautifully in the school through all gaits, is naturally balanced and keeps a nice rhythm. She is jumping around a course of fences and has seen many combinations and fillers. She has masses of scope, loves jumping and is extremely brave. Holly is an absolute XC machine and will make someone a cracking hunter for the upcoming season. Jumps hedges ditches, gates, banks, rails etc.

She has been to a couple of training shows and has done farm rides, one of them being with my 12 year old son. Holly is an absolute star to hack out alone and in company. She has seen all types of traffic with us.

Holly is excellent to catch, turnout, groom, bath, stable and a lovely affectionate girl to have on the yard. She happily turns out alone or in company.

I feel there are so many disciplines this mare could do. British Eventing, BSJA, BD etc. She would also make an amazing Pony Club horse for a teenager.

Holly is obviously a young green horse who is now ready to further her education. She is a responsive forward thinking competitive type Mare who needs a competent and confident rider to carry on her education she would not be suitable for a novice or nervous rider.

She is a real star of the future and we would love to keep in touch

Please note Holly has recently flown through a vetting, she passed everything however she has a tiny sarcoid (like 1/3 the size of a 1 pence piece) so the people decided they didn’t want her. The sarcoid has been there since she was a yearling and has never changed! I have the full vetting which I’m happy to share. Also a photo of the sarcoid.

Great to hack, (will ride and lead), been out hunting alongside my children and loves farm rides.
He has been ridden by Grandparents and my 10yr old daughter, he really is part of our family.
Ideally looking for someone who wants a horse to enjoy hacking out with their children and to do the odd bit of showing. He is pleasure to take anywhere.
Homes will be vetted as this is such a hard decision, but I am struggling to find the time to give him the love and attention that this super kind horse deserves whilst concentrating on children and our business.
He needs to be someone’s No.1

Jack is a striking, well mannered, genuine 12 year old Welsh section C gelding.

Jack is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard. Good for farrier, load, clip ect.

Jack has spent the first half of his life competing in in hand showing. However, has a small bursar in his knee, hence the price, which has check by vets and is benign.

Since Jack has been with us he has done a bit of everything. He has been xc schooling, showjumping, hacking alone and in company and has been amazing.

Jack would suit a family home that is going to give him lots of love and attention. He is an absolute sweetheart and just wants to please.

He is absolutely impeccably behaved on the ground and under saddle. He truly doesn’t have a bad bone in his body and is definitely more woah than go.

Flymo / 15yo / 13.2 Cob

A compact, talented gelding with a charming temperament and a wonderfully trainable nature. He excels in all the basics—flatwork, jumping, loading, and clipping—and approaches every task with a willing attitude. With his presence and way of going, Flymo shows real promise for success in the show ring, while also being versatile enough to make a superb all-rounder.

He has spent the past two years with a young rider, competing successfully at county-level shows and dressage competitions, consistently bringing home placings. Prior to that, he was in the same home for approximately seven years, where his focus was primarily on dressage. During that time, he received regular schooling from highly experienced professionals, including a rider from the British Dressage Team.

Flymo is the type of pony who turns heads wherever he goes and brings joy to those who work with him.

  • 14.1 hands
  • Safe and enjoyable ride
  • Genuine and sensible attitude
  • Stand out colour and conformation
A fantastic stamp of a cob with a great attitude, he is easy going and genuine without quirks, and absolutely loves people!

In the arena he is nicely forwards and supple with a lovely rhythm and balanced, expressive paces. He is established in basic lateral work. He is progressing everyday in his schooling and has a fabulous light contact.

Currently has 11 BD points at novice level and has qualified for the summer area festival 2025. He is a pleasure to take out to competitions, stands at the trailer, is well behaved in the warm up etc. Has also been out to regular clinics in indoor and outdoor arenas.

Brilliant to hack and goes out alone and in company, really good in traffic and not phased by bikes, dogs etc.

He also likes jumping and pops small jumps at home. Has been out to a couple of hound exercises just for fun which he thoroughly enjoyed and was impeccably behaved at. Doesn’t get silly or hot up in a group.

Would suit someone looking for a safe confidence giving allrounder to compete in dressage, pony club, go hunting or hacking. He really excels in dressage so it would be fantastic to see him go on to continue his dressage career with someone! Would suit an older rider or child or a para rider with more training.

Good to bath, clip, load, travel, groom, tack up and catch. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and vaccinations. Shod in front. No vices, lumps or bumbs.

Very reluctant sale. Please ring for more details, looking for a 5 star home for this perfect pony.
