Outstanding 4yo ID x Cob Gelding – 13 BD Points, Absolute Gentleman!
• Breed: Irish Draught x Gypsy Cob
• Height: 15.2hh
• Age: 4 years
• Colour: Black
• Sex: Gelding

Description:
Teddy (Registered BD name: Bolt III) is a truly exceptional, loving, and genuine young horse with a mature attitude far beyond his years. Purchased directly from his breeder in Ireland as a 2-year-old, he was professionally backed in December last year and has been produced with love and longevity in mind.

Despite his young age, Teddy is already proving to be a fantastic all-rounder:
• Dressage: Currently competing at BD Prelim with scores of 67–69%, already accumulating 13 BD points. He has done 3 BD tests to date.
• Jumping: Taking everything in his stride! He has been lightly introduced to jumps up to 60cm (kept low due to rider preference), showing a brave, honest attitude with zero stop or run-out.
• XC / Farm Rides: A total superstar on farm rides and in the forest. He pops over logs and fallen trees with ease, remaining calm, manners-bound, and completely manners-focused—often behaving better than his older companions!
• Gallops: Teddy after being under saddle for only 5 wks was taken on his own in the trailer to the gallops where he was impeccably behaved!

An Absolute Pleasure to Do For:
Teddy is an absolute gentleman to handle. He loads easily, travels perfectly alone, and stands like a rock to be mounted at strange venues. During a 6-week rider recovery from surgery this year, Teddy was ridden by a 14-year-old girl who took him hacking, on fun rides, and out in her horsebox—he was impeccable with a younger rider.
He is good with tractors/machinery around the yard. Due to 60mph traffic at home, his road hacking has been kept to quieter lanes away from the yard, where he is very good.

Health & Manners:
• No vices, clean legs, good feet, no blemishes or scars.
• Never bucks, naps, rears, or gets strong.

Teddy has a heart of gold, his ears are always forward, and he is always happy to see you. He was purchased alongside his full sister with the intention to sell, and he is now ready to find a 5* home. Ideally looking for a rider who wants to continue his education and journey

Luna

16hh, 4 year old Suffolk Punch x Warmblood
This mare is oozing with potential, she has a genuine temperament and a bright future ahead of her.

Luna is eye-catching mare with plenty of presence and is a real foot-in-each-corner type, she has been in the same home all her life and has been given the time to mature correctly. Recently backed and started her education, she is proving willing, trainable and eager to learn.

She is riding away nicely and, whilst still green, has a sensible attitude towards her work. She boasts three correct, uphill paces and is ready for someone to continue her education and put their own stamp on her.

She would suit a knowledgeable home looking for a quality young horse to produce further. She has all the attributes to make a lovely all-rounder and is ready for her next chapter.

Her breeding speaks for itself, with her brother having competed successfully at both HOYS and the Royal International and having qualified again this year.

Good to load and travel
Good to handle on the ground
Sweet, affectionate nature
Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and physio
Same home since birth

A genuine, unspoilt young mare with a bright future ahead of her. A very sad sale, and she will only be available to the very best of homes where her education can continue.

Top class Blagdon traditional cob

  • Piebald
  • Gelding

  • Fabulous mover and good length of rein
  • Great presence with 'look at me' quality
  • He would suit a competent home producer or professional

Colin is a 15hh (153cm ) 5 yr old traditional Blagdon cob gelding .

I bought him as a just backed 3 yr old for my daughter to show , she then decided to go traveling ! I kept him as he needed time to mature and is is such a super type and easy to have around. Fast forward and I started him again putting in lots of ground work , he was so easy , riding nicely, has never bucked , reared or napped but is very green .

His progress has been cut short due to illness in the family and my daughter Is unable to ride .

Colin has the best feather I’ve seen on a cob , from the back of his knee , straight and silky and loads of it , he’s got plenty of bone , clean through his hocks and no lumps , bumps or extras . He would potentially strip out but I’ll leave that to his new owner to make that decision.

Colin sits up and looks through the bridle , fabulous mover and good length of rein . Great presence with ‘look at me ‘ quality .

He’s content being in or out without company and equally happy out with mares ( I don’t have any other geldings .

He is vice free , teeth, vaccines , feet ( bare foot ) all up to date . He is currently not in work and this is reflected in his price . He is far from being established but I truly believe that a few weeks back into a routine of work he would be flying ( not literally)

He would suit a competent home producer or professional. No novices or nervous Nellie’s , hes young and a novice , id hate to see him ruined by inexperienced hands as he’s got so much potential. Hes a sweet boy , lovely kind temperament a if he was a year younger id keep him but he needs a job . Happy to answer any questions but i wont reply to texts.

Wendy stands 15hh and at the moment stands up behind so will make 15.1hh I would think.

She is nicely put together with quality LW limb which needs little trimming. A good straight mover with nice paces. She is still green in the school so will take some time but I think will be nice but she would equally enjoy to do anything else!

She is now 5 I bought here as a 3 year old from Ireland, we have given her time to mature.

She is well hacked having been ridden by various friends who come for a bit of “Me” time!!

She hacks out alone too but gets her 10,000 steps in then! She has done a little in the school so can do the basics.

She has jumped all our hunt jumps and enjoyserself. Wendy has been to arena hire and been on some Farm Rides. She used to Farm life and the machinery that goes with it. Good in traffic met to date.

She is good on the ground as I walk with a stick and have a mobility scooter. Good to clip trim shoe etc.

Very much a blank canvas with the basics established so could go on and have any number of of career opportunities. A good amateur cob to be aimed at The LIHS Rising Stars also eligible for Partbred Irish Draught Class.

Wendy is a lovely person and really really would love to be someone’s horses as she loves all the fuss and attention you can give - she falls asleep being trimmed!

Dennis aka (E.F Al Capone). Hard to find, 3yo blue and white Sport/Maxi Cob.

Dennis was bred at Saltus Sports Horses before they were officially established. He is a very much loved and cared for member of the family owned since 6 months. Dennis is currently standing at 15.2hh with a bit of growing left to do. He is a stunningly correct example of his type with a huge chest and hindquarters, and a nice amount of bone (9inches clean flat bone) without being too heavy. He moves beautifully and is so light and uphill for his stamp, with a very powerful engine.

Dennis would excel in the showring but also has an incredible jump and huge scope and would make a cracking working hunter. He will go all the way in the right hands. Dennis is a beautiful person, handled regularly from 6months he is good with his feet, up to date with worming, teeth and Jabs. He loves people and a fuss and loves nothing more than putting his head on you shoulders for a scratch behind the ears, he will be your best friend.

Dennis is AES registered out of a traditional Mare by Saltus very own Samenco V'ant Kieveld, a beautiful Belgian warmblood stallion.

Lots of photos and videos available on request.

He has seen tack, isnt bothered by anything and will be very easy.

Only the best of homes need enquire, Dennis deserves the best where he will have a job and progress successfully, he is a very special and whoever has him will be very lucky. Dennis does have a small scar on his hind pattern from a field injury as a foal but this doesn't affect him in any way and we covered it with make up for showing, where he was placed 1st!

Duke is standing at 12.3 and is a 10 year old silver dapple traditional mini cob stallion . He is not stallion like at all, and is very quiet to deal with and will stable next to mares.

Duke is broken to ride and loves to go hacking around the fishery’s and woodland areas. He has never been out the top 2 when shown in hand, and recently won Barley Saturday Stallion Show . Where he then paraded the streets and behaved impeccably .

This boy would easily fly through TGCA / chaps gradings and therefore could compete at chaps/toys where I believe he would do very well.

Tons of feather and bone with a real look at me presence.

He is very easy to have around and is very good to handle, load, clip, bath and for the farrier.

Ponies like this do not come on the market very often
