Bugsy Malone


Ref #: 391377
  • Bugsy Malone
  • Sadly looking for a new home due to owner giving up horses.
  • 15.2 HW Cob gelding, 9 years old.

  • Bugsy Malone
  • Sadly looking for a new home due to owner giving up horses.
  • 15.2 HW Cob gelding, 9 years old.

Up to date with teeth & vaccinations. Has regular routine Osteo, physio, saddle fitting etc

Good to catch, bath, clip (twitch for legs and ears), load, travel etc

We've had Bugsy for 3 years where he has mostly hacked and hunted. He was bought for a petite lady Master to enjoy social days out hunting, and he does exactly that. He's a pleasure; goes in a snaffle, front middle or back. Keeps up but with a level head. Great with hounds. We've not jumped him (no need) and although not a thrusters horse, will get over a log etc in the way, if needed. Perfect through/over ditches.

Very sensible out hacking. We're based just off a busy High Street and he regularly rides through the town, completely unfazed by traffic. Rides under/over motorway bridges. Prefers to go in company, but will go alone with a confident rider. He is not silly in anyway, just not the bold, brave type that'll take you. We have no problems and he does regularly go on his own.

This summer, I decided to have a go at showing him, where he far exceeded expectations. Although unaffiliated, he went Super Supreme at the Sunshine Tour Championship (Hickstead) and had fantastic comments from all the judges and stewards, including one who judges cobs professionally. I expect he would do very well with someone keen on the showing circuits.

Has been to some unaffiliated dressage, coming home with scores of 70%+ at both Intro and Prelim level. Sure to climb the ladder with more work.

Loads and travels on trailer or lorry. Very easy to have out and about on your own. Will stand on the box waiting all day if needed.

He's generally a cheeky chappy, that's fun to have around. He is pretty easy to do in all ways, although I couldn't say what he would be like for a novice, as he's only ever been ridden and handled by experienced people. We will be sad to see him go.

Has been out to a few hound exercises and Autumn hunting through September, so fit and ready to go. No major rush to sell, so we will keep him going and find the absolute perfect home for him.

He does mildly suffer with Mallenders & Sallenders and CPL (like A LOT of cobs these days!). We easily manage it with a correct diet, plenty of movement, and regular clipping. If this is a major problem for you, please do not waste my time.

Based in Newport Pagnell, Bucks

Tack & rugs potentially available by negotiation

Maesygollen Megga Bucks

  • Stallion
  • 6 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • 6-year-old Traditional Homozygous Coloured Stallion
  • Outstanding presence and temperament
  • He has been shown lightly in-hand with great success
Bucks is a top-class 15.2hh traditional stallion with outstanding presence and temperament. He has been broken to both ride and drive and is proving to be exceptionally willing and straightforward in all his work. Although still a novice under saddle, he shows great potential and would not take much to have him ready for the 2026 show season.

He is 100% in traffic whilst being driven, having seen tractors, lorries and many other vehicles. He has driven at night and in the day, and has been driven by a 6-year-old supervised. Has been ridden by a novice 15 year old and a 73 year old, and looked after them both, doing everything that was asked.

A proven stallion, he has already produced a number of quality foals with excellent conformation, movement, and temperament. He has been tested as 100% homozygous. He is extremely mannerly to handle and cover, and is handled daily by women. He is equally content living in or out 24/7 and is good to do in all ways. He is regularly handled by a 12-year-old including bringing him in and out. Is fine with being stabled next to or opposite mares, and there is no worries with bringing a mare passed him.

He has been shown lightly in-hand with great success, including wins at agricultural shows, and always catches the judge’s eye with his type and presence. CHAPS registered. PSSM1 Clear. His sire is a Silver Graded Medal Stallion with CHAPS.

A genuine, well-mannered stallion with the versatility, quality, and character to excel in the show ring, under saddle, or as a continued asset to any breeding programme.

Serious enquiries only, please, as this is a very sad sale due to feeling that he could go on to be very successful in the right hands.

"Moo" is the kindest soul with people and other equines.

Purchased as an unbroken 3 year old for beach hacking and fun, but I believe she is much more than that!

Ridden only twice a week due to my energy levels keeping my homebred Sports horse in work.

Moo is ridden by myself (aged over 60) and a 14 year old girl (see video). She will happily jump around a course of 70cm with scope for more.

Good conformation and her colour is hard to find with potential to do Light Weight Cob at county level and Working Cob.

Good to box, catch, clip and in traffic.

Full wardrobe available including well fitting good quality tack and rugs by separate negotiation

Heartbreaking sale so please no time wasters, nervous or novices.

Moo has a good brain and would not be describe as spooky. However she isn't a brain dead plod and is still slightly green.

15.1 4yo Irish cob gelding

Larry is an absolute dream. He was recently imported from Ireland unbroken, he's taken to ridden work like a duck to water.

Larry hacks alone and in company - he's fab in traffic and open spaces and will go in front or behind.
Having only been under saddle for a couple of months he has only just started his education in the school after spending his first few weeks learning about the world hacking, however he's balanced, starting to work in a sweet but green outline with a soft mouth and he's super willing and a real pleasure to work with.

Larry has popped his first few fences and he's genuine , straight and easy. He seems to really enjoy it and always has his ears pricked to a fence.

Stands as solid as a rock to mount , unbelievably easy to handle , good with the clippers and to bath. Moves straight and correctly - big walk and canter , snaffle mouth. Forward going and responsive off the leg.

Potential to make a good show cob or he would be just as happy being a family , all round fun horse. Whichever path he goes down he will be someone's loyal best friend.
Has recently been to his first competition, he loaded and travelled like a dream, stood quietly on the trailer and scored 74.8% to come second out of a class of 17.

He has got some sarcoids , none of which are in a place which affect his tack so I am treating them homoeopathically at the moment - this has been taken into account and he's been priced accordingly. Please don't enquire if this puts you off.

Norman
15.2, 8 year old Percheron x NF gelding all breeding recorded - please message for breeding info.

Norman is an eye catching chap, quality cob with a leg in each corner.

Beautifully schooled on the flat with 3 balanced paces, good transitions and knows a bit of lateral work. Norman has done a couple of UA dressage tests with his current owner and scored well, he could go out at Novice now.

Shown in hand gaining good results and comments from the judges. I think he’d look super hogged and shown as a cob and would certainly turn some heads.

Norman has attended clincs/lessons with current owner and done a little bit of jumping previously although this hasn’t been his focus so he’s green in that respect.

Hacks alone and in company and has been good in the traffic we’ve met. His owner has always found him a little wary of the mounting block so has gotten on from either a leg up or from the floor, but we’ve had him on sales livery with us and can get on from both blocks here no problem so he is ‘good at the block’ here!

Used to being on a yard with big farm machinery, turns out alone or with others. On individual here but current owner had him out with a Shetland and a Lama so he really doesn’t mind who his friends are.

Good to catch/load (can sometimesi take a minute and then he huffs and walks on)/travel/shoe/clip. Happy in or out, a real kind boy on the ground he absolutely loves a fuss and is a real pet.

Norman is the type that takes a bit of confidence from his rider and wouldn’t suit a nervous/novice home he’s just not that type of boy. He responds really well to a ‘come on we’ve got this’ type of rider. He can have the occasional excitable buck if he’s not done something for a while.

Only medical history is he was treated for mild ulcers in 2023, scoped clear and just on a supplement for maintenance.

For sale on behalf of his owner who has owned him from a 4 year old. He is absolutely adored but they aren’t the perfect match and she would like to progress her riding on a lighter type.

This is an advert I never wanted to write but sadly my beautiful Moneyglen billy is looking for a new home, firstly Billy has been more than just a horse to us he's been a member of the family for the last 4 and a half years from the scruffy tiny cob that arrived to what he is today.

Billy is a complete superstar,hes the kindest funniest horse with a big character, hes my best friend and he will only be sold to the most perfect person . Billy hacks alone or in company anywhere at any time, hes 1000% in traffic, hes not spooky or silly.

He can be ridden by any member of the family, i can lead a pony and child from him and my 4 yr old son hacks him out he goes first of last Billy for the first couple of years with me completed in hunter trails and showjumping, he is a keen jumper and will jump anything we have only competed to 70cm, he isnt bothered by fillers or water hes a confident guy would do the working show horse classes he can really move for a big dude. Billy has completed in dressage up to preliminary level, always comes home with a rosette.

Now to showing billy has won nearly every time out in the show ring unaffiliated, hes champion and supreme and nearly every local show. Hes always placed highly at county shows and has stood champion. He give the ride judge the best of rides and altho billy is small hes perfectly and beautifully schooled the comments from ride judges this season. He qualified royal international 2024 and 25 and qualified first attempt at search for a star, being placed 2nd at hoys search for a star 2025 final .

Billy is the perfect horse if ever there was one, no working in at shows needed he will come off the box and straight in to the ring and be on top form, hes a polite mannerly ride, who can do every job can be ridden every day or once a week or month and still be perfect. Hes a family member, child safe perfect in and out the stable in all fencing alone or with others. Travels in anything and loads first time he would get in the car if you let him or graze the garden at home.

Hes perfect for the farrier and good to clip and bath. Billy is that 100% horse everyone wants and needs he will be sadly missed and only 10* homes need apply
