Barney is currently in work a few times a week lunging & long reining, he is working nicely in a bridle also.

He has so much quality about him, masses of bone but this doesn't alter his straightness in his paces.

Excellent to box, farrier etc

No Vices No Lumps or Bumps - happy

He is a really smart blank canvas to be turned out in a group or alone.

CODEY 16.2hh Full Irish Draught By Luke SkyWalker Grey Gelding – 6 Years Old

An absolute gentleman and true all-rounder, this stunning 6-year-old full Irish Draught gelding is beautifully put together, boasting lovely conformation and a huge, expressive step for a Draught. He’s a real head-turner with presence and quality.

Schooling very well on the flat, he shows the talent and movement to go far in dressage or showing. Over fences, he’s brave, honest, and straightforward — has schooled show jumps and arena eventing fences with ease. Point and go type: you kick, he goes. Always careful, never silly. He has competed at local hunter trials where he just skipped round happily behind.

Out hunting, he’s an absolute dream. Hunted in Ireland and the UK with both foxhounds and bloodhounds — impeccably mannered, sensible, and reliable. Equally happy leading, following, or holding the gate. A novice could safely ride him in the field, yet he’s bold enough to take on the bigger country. Would make a brilliant hunt service horse. Doesn’t get bothered by other horses — can lead or be led over fences.

He’s just one in a million — genuine, versatile, and easy in every way. Everything we’ve asked of him, he’s taken in his stride. Good enough to produce further in any sphere, but kind and uncomplicated enough to be enjoyed by anyone.

If you’re looking for a quality Irish Draught with manners, movement, and a heart of gold — this boy is the real deal.

Belle is a rising 5 Welsh Section D
Sired by Menai Cardi Llywnd

Belle is standing 14.3 but still bum high she should easily make 15hh once finished. Belle was very lightly broken as a 3 year old and turned away until this spring when she was coming 4.

During which she has done a few local farm rides, including Somerford where we ended up going alone so I had no school master for her, to which she behaved brilliantly and popped everything asked.

In September this year she headed down south to do the badminton fun ride where we stabled away from home for the weekend and met up with friends as well and she was absolutely foot perfect.

Belle has 3 lovely paces but school’s much better away from home than at home - I’ve no idea why!

She did a local show at our riding club this year where she picked up 2nd in the M and M and if I’m really biased she should have won as the winner picked the wrong leg!!

She’s a sensitive soul and would benefit from someone who can give her lots of 1-1. She hacks out alone or in company. She is always fine in traffic however hasn’t seen awfully busy roads as we are in a quiet area but have plenty of farm machinery knocking about.

Belle is turned out in a group, until she gets to know you she can be a sensitive soul where catching is considered however this has gotten better and better, her only other fault is that she can now and again have ‘d**khead’ day as I call it where about once a month everything is spook worthy - but this just adds to the Welsh dragon

Belle is still very very green as we really have done the bare minimum while she’s spent her time growing up. Day to day all she does is hack so when I do decide to do farm rides and fun rides she really has been thrown in the deep end. She has absolutely not been rushed in anyway so still so much for her to learn

She is really ready for someone to put their own stamp on.

She travels in a trailer but arrived to me on a box - good to clip (twitched for ears only). Good to shoe. Vaccinated up to date.

I did buy he as a rising 3 year old to sell on eventually but I’ve consistently put it off. But we have a wedding coming up this year with funds needed and a child that takes all my time showing now so less time to produce her.

We are a small RDA centre with a big heart looking for multiple types and sizes of horses from 13.2 – 16.3hh ride and/or drive. We are based South West London and hack out in one of London's royal parks.

Temperament is very important and must be good to handle by multiple people. We offer our horses a variety in their life, mostly involving hacking and fun days out. We don’t have an arena onsite so ability to hack is a must. We offer herd turnout, with work rotation so horses get a large amount of rest days.

Welfare and care are our upmost priority, 5* home waiting with lots of love and care.

  • To make 15.2hh
  • A rare find

Ryehill Touchstone - Jeffrey is rising 5 and will make 15.2hh. He is a good example of his type - a rare find these days as his height is much sought after.

He is blessed with lots of hair which makes up for the fact that he doesn’t have an awful lot of colour!

He has the most fabulous temperament, he does everything with a smile on his face. Just the kindest person. Always happy to see you and comes to the gate at a canter!

He has three balanced paces. He is a good straight mover with and is a real trier he wants to learn.

He would have potential in the showring and would do a nice dressage test. Truthfully he could go in any direction.

He is good to hack alone of with others. Good in all traffic met. Happy to go first or last.

He does have an engine so can be schooled or happy to go slow hacking with me!!

He is very good on the ground as I walk with a stick and is led of my mobility scooter. Good to shoe and clip.

He is a real sweetie and I am very fond of him but I can’t deal with soooo much hair so have reluctantly decided to sell him as I really want a trimmed cob.

He wants a home where he will be loved and adored

Frizzy Punchbowl

16.1hh | 6-year-old (2019) | Pure Bred Irish Draught

Sire: Devils Punchbowl

Dam: Frizzy View

Frizzy is an honest, willing young horse with a genuinely lovely temperament. He is eye-catching and has plenty of raw potential, showing promise across a variety of disciplines. He works in three rhythmical, balanced paces, with an especially impressive canter.

He has popped a range of small fences and shows enthusiasm for his jumping. Out hacking, Frizzy is excellent both alone and in company, and is confident taking the lead—often guiding younger horses past unfamiliar sights. He is accustomed to different types of traffic and takes everything in his stride.

He has attended schooling outings and is now ready to continue his education with some low-level competitions or local shows.

On the ground, Frizzy is kind and easy to handle - good to catch, shoe, clip and a pleasure around the yard. However, he is a young, green horse and therefore requires a capable, experienced rider to bring out his potential and continue his education correctly. He is versatile enough to appeal both to an ambitious rider and to someone seeking a special horse to develop a long-term partnership with.

Frizzy is a pure bred, DNA tested, Irish Draught and has excellent breeding which is reflected in his quality.

This is a very sad sale as his owner has switched to western riding. Only the best of homes will be considered.

  • one in a million kind of horse

Ajax is a one in a million kind of horse, with his beautiful blue eyes and puppy like temperament you'll never find another quite like him. Ajax is an old soul in a youngsters body, he'll give you his all and never let you down. He's only for sale as he isn't going to be quite big enough for me, otherwise he'd stay with me forever! 

He's one of the few youngsters that I trust implicitly, he's never mean or dangerous - his idea of going fast is a beautiful trot! He was lightly backed in August and has been produced very slowly with lots of breaks for growing, and has taken to being a ridden horse like a champ. He may be a little cob but he can move better than some dressage bred horses - his trot is a real treat to see! Ajax has also shown a beautiful shape over a very small free jump.

Ajax is currently on his winter break before he turns 4 so is priced accordingly, the more he does the more expensive his price tag will get! He is brilliant for the farrier, vet and dentist and will stand for hours being brushed, absolutely no vices - he's the sweetest most affectionate boy around!

Due to his age I will not be selling him to any novices/inexperienced or anxious owners, he may be a total sweetheart but he needs somebody who will help him develop into the best horse he can be! His new home has to be perfect for him as I'm not in a rush to sell

Hortons Midnight Star aka Mario - 4 year old maxi cob - standing about 15.3

This boy is amazing - backed this January/feb and took to it like duke to water

Hacks alone or company first or last - hacks over motoway bridges alone - open fields - you name it he will do it. Doesn’t care about others leaving him

This horse literally loves his own company - will stable alone by himself without a single fuss

Little schooled due to his age - schools inside or outside and not a spooky type

Travels in a lorry no issues (not travelled in trailer so can’t answer that)

Bought for myself but he’s just not sharp enough.

He really is the coolest man ever - great to clip, bath, shoe , face being done the lot

On a big livery yard and doesn’t care about being left alone or anything

Upto date with vacs and teeth and feet

Can be sold with his tack and a selection of rugs

I’m only selling as he’s just to quiet for me personally

Has been shown and travelled with no issues - he’s not a type that needs working in - he’s just the coolest and calmest of boys

He’s an amazing boy and needs to be treated as such, he loves his field time and stable time
