Striking 16.3hh 4yo Dapple Grey Irish Sport Gelding – Genuine All-Rounder/Hunter

Storme is a big, eye-catching 16.3hh 4-year-old middleweight gelding with plenty of bone and presence. He is by the Class 1 Irish Draught stallion Castleview Inisfree Farm, who is by the legendary Tors Gentleman Farmer, and out of a traditional cob-type mare – giving him both quality and substance.

Professionally backed and brought on by us this summer, Storme has three balanced, uphill paces, is light in the hand, and responsive off the leg. He’s a quick learner with a kind temperament and an easy, trainable attitude. Lovely soft mouth and takes everything in his stride.

He’s bold and confident to a fence and takes to new experiences like a duck to water. Storme has been on fun rides, beach rides, cross country schooling. He is excellent to hack, alone or in company, and good in traffic.

Would make a super all-rounder or hunter for someone this season.

Good to do in all ways – loads in anything, good to shoe, clip, and for the dentist. No stable vices. The only blemish is a small “boney lump” on his head from a minor field knock – purely cosmetic, no effect on him whatsoever.

Buzz is a straightforward, relaxed and easy to do cob- with a excellent kind temperament. He is always eager to please, and is a pleasure to work around. Buzz would be a great boy for a riding school, mother daughter share, riding club activities and would even look well doing traditional showing classes. Anyone would be more than happy to have this boy in their yard!!

Great horse to hack out as he would hack on just the buckle all day- and has proven to us that he is safe and sensible in traffic, and will hack alone or in company.

No lumps bumps or vices

Introducing Barry (Baz), an extraordinary 2010 Gypsy stallion and a true icon of his breed within the show ring.

Baz holds the prestigious title of qualifying for the Horse of the Year Show on multiple occasions and also being placed in the top 5.
He is Unbeaten by any stallion of the same breed in his class. With his fabulous conformation, exceptional temperament, effortless movement, and proven ability he is known as one of the best.
He began his ridden career later than most, having been backed at the age of 10. As he has not been over-shown or overworked, he has relatively low mileage for his age.
Baz is a versatile gentleman, trained for both natural and AI coverings, serving on just a headcollar and lunge line.

He is also the current Champion of the London International Horse Show, where he outshone fierce competition, further solidifying his unmatched reputation. Previously driven as well as ridden, Baz is straightforward, reliable, and simply breathtaking to watch.
PSSM1 & FIS clear, he recently passed a 5-stage vetting, and is swabbed for the 2025 covering season, Baz is ready to make an impact wherever he goes.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an outstanding stallion who represents the pinnacle of his breed.

Selling him has been a heart-wrenching decision, but due to life circumstances, he deserves more time and attention than I can currently give. The lucky new owner will gain not just a horse, but the best of friends and true champion in every sense.

Sold with HOYS entries and the Ride at RI. He would also be a massive contender on the SSADL scene. Many references on this horse would be available from top people.

Movement is straight and floaty and he is ready to go out and do some test. He has been to many arena hires with others and alone and seen the boards on many occasions.

He has been schooled professionally and correctly with his future in mind.

He has been cross country schooling and enjoyed every minute, he has been on many occasions and developed strength and experience every time. He would definitely look the part on the hunt field.

He has been ridden by all different abilities and his wonderful temperament shines through. So even your nervous granny would enjoy him.

He is easy to be around and handle even my eight year old leads him in and tacks him up and loads him up. Always his amazing temperament shines through.

This boy has such a bright future ahead of him having so much talent and his cool calm temperament will definitely be a hard horse to find. He really is worth his weight in gold.

  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Ideal mother/daughter/son share
  • Sweet natured and an absolute gentleman and easy to do
  • Lovely paces that cover the ground well.

The most heartbreaking sale due to no fault of his own but due to change in circumstances and daughter off to uni soon.
With this in mind please NO time wasters, joy riders, day trippers, dealers. His new home is paramount and be prepared that I may ask for references,we would love him to go to someone who would be happy to keep in touch.

Charlie is the most sweet natured gentleman of a horse, who loves humans. Very easy to do in all ways, he never complains and wants to please.

With previous owners he has been shown at HOYS as a maxi cob and coloured with a professional and as an amateur to RHIS 2024 by myself. He is happy to continue with showing however he is not for the competition yard life now but would suit an amateur who wants the dream of showing at big county shows and being in the rosettes. Having said that he would happy turn his hoof to dressage as he has 3 amazing paces. What he is not is a show jumper and never will be his forte! He will happy pop a log out or a small fence and enjoys this once in a while but really this is not what Charlie is made for.

He travels well and will stand in the lorry no worries and also enjoys going out to clinics and a blast on the gallops.

Charlie loves his rides out in company and alone. He has been to a few early season hound exercise meets with my daughter, where he stood still not phased by the hounds at all but he was strong in the field and much preferred to be up front however he did have breaks! And thoroughly enjoyed himself!

We feel he would be ideally suited to a mother/daughter/son share having said that he is a competition horse and not a novice ride and does need a confident jockey and you will get the best of him.

Sale to include all tack ( made to measure double bridle) GPD saddle and rugs.

Open to vetting.

Potentially looking for new home as after a knee injury earlier this year I've not got the leg power to do him justice

Based near Lauder, Scottish Borders

Looking for a kind, experienced home for this lovely cob-cross type. 5 years old, 15.1hh professionally schooled and ready to continue his journey, same home since birth and still in contact with his mother and what is most likely his father.

A few highlights:
CHAPS registered
Professionally schooled
Long reins, lunges well, hacks alone or in company
Been to pole clinics and inhand shows travelled and stayed away with zero fuss
Potential to go far in show ring; eye-catching markings and a lovely attitude
Laid-back temperament
Barefoot, hardy, and low maintenance
Never sick or sorry, a happy, healthy young lad

He's been brought on slowly and sensibly, never rushed.

The right home is far more important than a quick sale.

Whether you're after a fun all-rounder, a smart leisure horse, or something with show ring potential, he's got the foundations and the personality to go far.

Message for more info, photos, or to come and meet him!
