Beautiful stamp by ID Wesrn Blues

  • A very reliable horse to hack and hunt
  • Schools well with good paces and lots of presence
£12,000 OVNO
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Dark bay
  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Well bred by Western blues x Dock Leaf
  • 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
Open to vet.

  • Cob

  • Everyone should have a Jeffrey in their life
  • 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.

Stunning Irish Sport Horse x Cob Gelding


Ref #: 398882
  • one in a million kind of horse
£5,000 OVNO
  • Cob
  • Skewbald
  • Gelding
  • 3 years
  • 15 hands
  • 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

Such a sweet mare with a heart of gold !

A very brave horse cross country and she is really enjoying her jumping! Ditches, water, steps are no problem to her. The type that will happily canter around jumping and then will walk calmly on a loose rein.

Has hunted on multiple occasions with the roscommons , proving to be safe , sensible and very brave to anything we have faced her at. A very mannerly and comfortable ride.

Very easy to ride round a course of fences , doesn’t rush or pull but stays in a positive rhythm. Not phased by spooky fillers and comfortably jumping around 90/1m courses.

Ridden in a snaffle at all times , she is incredibly mannerly for a big horse. Has competed at local shows, always in the placings, she has huge presence and a real head turner! Her behaviour is impeccable off the yard, she stands quietly and doesn’t hot up or get silly.

Her flatwork is coming along very well, she is light and responsive without being sharp. She has very good natural balance and would be an exciting dressage prospect!

She has been carefully and slowly produced being mindful of her size. She has the makings of a top class hunter with her easy brain and love for cross country. Good to hack, clip, box, shoe, catch.

This mare will be a real pleasure to own!

Based in Roscommon, Ireland and transport can be arranged.
