  • Level-headed
  • Fantastic can do attitude

Chief is 15.2 rising 5 year old who is simply a pleasure to do in every way. He has 3 flashy correct paces and could really excel in the show or dressage ring.

He is really bold into a fence and has been cross country schooling, to arena hires and to local shows all of which he has shown to be completely willing and sane.

He loves hacking and has been to local country parks alone and is fantastic in open spaces.

He is a pleasure on the ground and acts more like a puppy than a horse. Good to load, shoe, bath, clip, etc.

He has been slowly and correctly produced by a 20 year old girl and is now ready for someone to put their own stamp on.

No novices as he is still young. 5 star home wanted for this boy. More videos available on request.

Greateaves Centenarian - 146cm 4yo Homozygous Stallion | Future HOYS Contender

CHAPS graded

A truly exceptional young Native Pony of outstanding quality, Greateaves Centenarian is without doubt a serious HOYS prospect for the future.

He combines presence, correct conformation, and extravagant movement with the most genuine and trainable temperament. A pleasure in every respect — uncomplicated to ride, impeccably mannered on the ground, and a kind, sensible stallion who always gives his rider confidence.

Cyril has enjoyed excellent success in-hand, securing multiple championships, and has attended a small number of carefully chosen arena hires where he has proven himself to be a total star under saddle. He has also contested one novice ridden show, where he finished Champion, highlighting his natural talent and undeniable quality.

Still very much at the beginning of his career, he has all the attributes required to go right to the top, and I firmly believe he is a pony with genuine HOYS potential.

Offered for sale only due to purchase of owners first home, this is a rare opportunity for a discerning home.

Serious, knowledgeable enquiries only please — finding the right home is paramount.

-Brand new Black Country saddle and full wardrobe available by separate negotiation.
-Substantial price reflects his quality and future potential.
-Can be seen and tried in Berkshire.

16hh | 2020 Irish Cob Gelding

Tom is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of his own. He was bought in June (with a clean 5 stage vetting). Unfortunately nerves have got the best of current owner.

He’s a sweet, genuine boy who naturally takes his confidence from his rider. He needs someone who is carefree and happy to kick on, give him guidance.

Tom originally came over from Ireland and has been well handled. On the ground he is a joy — friendly, polite, loves attention, and will stand all day to be groomed or fussed. Good to load, catch and bath.

Under saddle, Tom shows all the promises to be a fantastic all rounder, whether you want a dressage or show partner or a horse to go have fun on and go hunting! He has correct flashy paces. He has lovely movement and is keen to learn.

He’s ridden in a snaffle and has a naturally willing attitude, he has it all there just now needs to go out and show off!

He hacks alone and in company, has seen all sorts of traffic, and is sensible in open spaces.

He hasn’t jumped since being purchased, but previously enjoyed it and was bold and honest when he went XC schooling before his sale.

Tom will make someone a really rewarding partner — he’s safe, sweet, and tries his best, but he’s young and needs a confident rider who can support him and help him continue developing.

Not suitable for complete novices owing to age.

Beautiful boy inside and out. The kindest most laid back guy, 16.1hh 5yr old pure bred Irish Draught gelding by Windgap Blue x Gortlea Ruler.

Ryder is an absolute dream to have on the yard, he is excellent to catch, in stable, in the field, turns out with others or alone, good to load, shoe, handle etc

He loves affection, having a fuss and a cuddle, he’s a really loving lad. My 7yr old son plays football round him whilst I’m poo picking and he constantly follows him round.

He is mature why above his years with a real ‘draught’ brain, he hacks alone or in company, happy to cross the M62 on a flyover, over the railway crossings or walk up an open field. He’ll pop over a fence or a log fence ith no drama whilst out and about. Nothing much phases this laid back guy.

He is starting to school nicely and enjoys popping a fence, either show jumps or cross country he’s bold and brave, always showing his can-do attitude.

Someone will be so lucky to have this horse in their stable, he really is a once in a lifetime type of horse.

Clean legs, no vices, no loans or trials.

Absolute bargain price does not reflect quality, just that we want him to find the best home which is way more important than anything else.

16/16.1 2021 RID Grey Gelding
By Farmhill Highlander X Fintan Himself

A very rare opportunity to acquire a real maxi cob type, but also a registered Irish Draught. By the 2024 RDS champion Farmhill Highlander. Theon was acquired at 8 months old as a weaning buddy for my homebred and is now time to find someone for the next adventure!

Theon is wearing tack and lunging very nicely, ready for someone to ride away and produce for the upcoming season. I do not have time for 2 and my home bred is my priority, hence the sale. Theon has been given the opportunity to develop and mature and not been given unnecessary mileage at a young age, which is ideal for someone looking for a true Irish horse that will have longevity to their career. Theon has been to plenty of shows as a yearling/ 2 year old including stay away shows, which he was entirely at ease with and was more than happy to take in the sights and sounds of an atmosphere, so he is well educated in hand for his future.

Theon is a very good boy to do in all ways on the ground and knows his manners. 100% trim/ load/ clippers etc. He really does have the foundations of a dream horse

Due to his age, he needs someone experienced and competent at producing a young horse. He will not suit a nervous or novice, neither someone wanting a quiet hack.

He’s got a great busy little brain with a comical character and will thrive off a busy lifestyle, so he’s looking for someone who likes to be out and about with their horses and always onto the next adventure!

Located in Co Clare, Ireland. 15 minutes from Shannon Airport. Happy to do video chat viewings also.

  • 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
