Traditional Cob Gelding by Lakelodge Leonardo

  • Well schooled and competed Unaffiliated Dressage
  • Super friendly character good to do in everyway

Woody is a real sort after type, registered with the British skewbald and piebald association with recorded breeding. By Lakelodge Leonardo, a traditional cob out of BSPA elite graded stallion Duke.

Woody has the most beautiful nature, he is fantastic to do in every way, catch, load, clip, shoe etc he is always happy to see you and has a very friendly character. He is a mother’s dream on the ground, he has been a pleasure to have on the yard.

Woody has been professionally schooled, he works in a nice outline, with 3 rhythmical paces. He is still young so can be a little green with canter transitions. Never naughty or silly.
He would certainly go on in the world of showing and would equally produce a good dressage test.

Woody has been a superstar to hack, alone and in company. He has been very good in traffic and open spaces, a real armchair ride to hack.

Woody has popped around a small course of fences, he is not going to set the world alight with his jumping but he always has a good go and really enjoys his jumping. He has done a small course of 70cm has ability to go a little higher.

Woody is looking for a home for someone to truly love him, he loves the variation of schoolwork hacking and jumping and would be a solid allrounder for someone to have fun on.

Sad sale with a genuine reason.

For sale on behalf of a client.

I’ve owned Cody since he was 6month old he is now 5 he has had a great inhand career with just some results being reserve overall supreme at bsps championships / won burwarton show / won and champion at royal Welsh small holding show and 3rd royal Windsor. He has been professionally broken and had a great start with his ridden education and now being continued in his novice showing season with being at equifest 2025 with great results.

He is good to hack alone or in company good to catch.

He has established 3 paces but is NOT a novice ride and must be confident with stallions.

In the right hands I know he will go all the way but he needs someone that can put the time into him which i currently do not have.

Have loads of photos from 6 months old upwards . Based in Worcestershire

  • Registered with the Shire Horse Society
  • Brilliant to hack

Charismatic rising 5 year old, 17hh Shire Mare for Sale. Frances is a true example of a Shire Horse, she is dark bay with 4 white socks, plenty of feather and a white strip.

She combines power, elegance and a willingness to work. She is a straight mover and has an impressive walk, trot and canter. Frances is a responsive and forward going ride, however she is snaffle mouthed at all times.

I have no doubt she will excel in any sphere, she would look brilliant in the hunting field, dressage arena, show ring or even out eventing.

Frances is excellent to hack both alone and in company, she has seen lots of traffic and is always well behaved. She has been on forestry rides, jumped ditches and is a pleasure to take anywhere!

To handle, Frances is a gentle giant. She has been to arena hires and is good to load and she will stand on the trailer whilst another horse is being ridden.

Frances would be an asset to any yard!

Owner has sold their small holding which forces sale.

Fabulous Fred

Smart, solid and full of quality, this stunning 15.1h 6-year-old maxi cob gelding is an absolute head-turner with excellent bone, feather and a kind, expressive face.

He has a lovely, genuine temperament and is a pleasure to handle in every way. Easy to catch, shoe, box and clip. Good to do both on the yard and out and about.

Riding nicely on the flat with three balanced, comfortable flashy paces. He has the scope and attitude to turn his hoof to a variety of disciplines, making him an ideal all-rounder or fun family horse. He would excel in the show ring, in my opinion has the potential to be a HOYS / top end show cob! Equally he’s a fabulous riding club activities or as a quality leisure horse as well.

Clean-limbed, open to vetting, and ready to find a loving home.

Fred has done loads of unaffiliated showing and is always a big hit with the judges, he’s also competed dressage and unaffiliated showjumping and has been super successful at these too.

Hacking he is better in company as he’s a little nervous of big traffic coming up behind him which is the only reason for sale as current own just wants to hack

Incredibly Sad sale, He’s been in the same home since he was 6 months old

A genuine, quality show cob who is a pleasure to have around. 10* home is a must for fabulous Fred

Tack and rugs included

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.

Would love to find my boy Walton Blue Eyed Boy his forever home

Blue is a very handsome bright bay registered Shire gelding. He will be 6 this year and is a big boy currently measuring at 18.3hh. He is very striking with lots of feather and unique blue eyes.

Blue is good to catch, shoe, clip, travels in a lorry and trailer. Will hack alone and in company. Is not bothered by traffic and being bought up on a farm is used to farm animals, large machinery and dogs.

He has been shown very successfully in hand and last year started under saddle. We've even done some BD.

Due to his size we've taken things slowly. He's done a little bit of everything but wouldn't be suitable for a novice. He is still green and needs more milage. He may be massive but he's a sensitive chap and takes his confidence from his handler/rider.

This is an incredibly hard decision. We have owned Blue from 6 months old but due to my daughter now competing more I just do not have the time he deserves. Would love for him to find a person to give him the one to one and love he deserves.
Home is the most important thing.

Please bear in mind, he really is 18.3hh, he will need a big stable. He is nearly a tonne of horse and he isn't going to go like a thoroughbred or Arab. He is bred to pull.
Any questions please just ask. Have numerous photos and videos.

He definitely one to make it to hoys or county level. He is a great versatile cob he also has a lovely jump and has proven to be very willing and honest to a fence.

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.
Lots of videos available on request.
