Forward and fun lightweight cob, not your typical kick along so no novices please.

Easy on the ground and good doer.

Lives in out. Good to hack.

He’s good to clip and for farrier. Loads and travels well. His vaccinations and worming up to date. Ben was purchased last year and passed a five stage vetting but proved to be too much horse for his novice rider.

Open to any vet or trainer.

We have for sale our lovely Ruby, Ruby has been within our family for the past 6 years where she has been an absolute delight in every way. She is easy to handle on the ground, brilliant to bath/trim she loads and travels like a star.

Ruby is up to date with everything.

Ruby does have a sarcoid on the inside of back leg , has never caused any issues or gotten any bigger , vet said to leave alone.

Ruby wouldn’t suit a complete novice as she’s a forward thinking mare, not a plod Absolutely no malice in her at all, never bucked reared or bolted.

Low mileage as hasn’t done too much but is now on schooling livery where she is showing so much potential and works lovely in an outline. She loves to jump , isn’t phased by fillers. Has been to shows and doesn’t get heated in a different environment.

Hacks alone and in company and is fab in open spaces.

A really striking mare with a positive attitude to work , will make someone a lovely all rounder/show horse /happy hacker, would suit a variety of homes.

Ruby does grow a ton of feather but had them clipped last year due to bad mud fever, they are now growing back nicely.

New! Sorts like these are hard to find!

Super smart chap with lots of bone and clean limbs. He’s a lovely mover and a great model of a maxi cob. Definitely a hoys contender.

He’s a pleasure to handle on the ground and has a lovely temperament. His schooling is coming along nicely, he’s still a little green so wouldn’t suit a novice rider.

He has been owned by the same owner since landing from Ireland as a 2 year old and has had lots of time and love put in to him.

He’s ready to get out to some novice classes and is sure to be an exciting prospect!

An incredible little horse with so much scope! A saint to jump, not spooky, strong or silly, jumps off any stride And great fun. Good with all fillers etc.

He moves beautifully with a brilliant canter that you could sit to all day long along with a large expressive trot that's good enough for pure dressage.

A pleasure on the ground. Good in traffic, to hack, load, catch, clip etc.

He has so much to offer and real talent in the right hands. I believe he could go very far!!

Travels in a lorry or trailer and hacked, hunted, been to lessons and arena hires.

Please No novices for this talented young gelding, he would benefit from a lovely one to one home where he can get to know his person. A lovely cob to produce and have fun on. He is still young and can have baby moments so wouldn’t be suitable for unbalanced riders.

Please do get in touch as he really is the most cuddly lovable boy. Can live in or out. Currently shod but has great feet so could go barefoot.

BLACKBERRY

The pony everyone wants! Standing at a full up 14.3hh this beautiful 2010 Irish black mare is a ride and drive, and she’s as good to ride as she is to drive, the definition of ‘ultimate allrounder’. To drive, Blackberry is so easy, she is literally bulletproof in traffic and would teach someone to drive who has never driven before, she is as safe as they come and knows the job inside out.

Riding wise, this girl has done it all and got the t shirt. She has done all riding club activities, she’s hunted and will navigate her way through any task. Utterly safe, fun, and confidence giving.

This girl could teach you to ride from the very beginning or take you round a showjumping track and keep them all up. She will jump anything you put her at, in trot or canter and has an incredible back end, scopey and careful.

She’s bold with everything, never spooky, probably the best happy hacker we have ever had in the yard and she’s flawless in every single way. Open to any vet or trainer, and open to any type of rider, a beautiful girl under saddle, on the ground and in harness. £9950

  • Sad Sale
This lovely boy is sadly for sale through no fault of his own. 6 years old and 153 cm.

I have 2 in the same class so he has been left on the sidelines. I have owned him 2 years. He is a Morrows cob who’s records speak for themselves. I have done a handful of local shows with him and he is still green but now ready to go further.

We have brought him on slowly, he hacks happily alone and in company. Has had 7 days behind hounds last winter. Been x-country schooling and a couple of dressage competitions. As he is only 6 in my opinion he is not for a novice or as a first horse.

He travels happily in a trailer or lorry and has been a pleasure to take out. Lives in or out, alone or with others.

Vaccinated and measured to date. Needs a twitch to clip his legs but good as gold with the rest. Loves a good groom and a bath. Will bang his door for attention, easily cured with an electric spring gate as a deterrent, not live.

Excellent to catch, shoe etc. home is most important for this lovely boy. He is

We are in no hurry to sell this special man.

Same home since a foal and produced extremely carefully and slowly.
Ezra is a complete gentleman who has been so easy to do in every way.
He has been purchased with the potential to become a show cob, he is only 4 years of age and still has lots of growing to do.
We have produced him very slowly and not over done any ridden work or road work.
From a very young age he has been kind and gentle and accepting of everything you ask of him.
He lives on a busy farm and is great in the heaviest of farm traffic, cars, wagons, bikes etc, young children and various other animals.
He has been regularly foot trimmed since a foal and now is hot shod in front - the blacksmith commenting on what a gentleman he was on his first ever time.
Ezra is good to bath/shower loves attention and been pampered. He is also rock steady to clip having been fully clipped out at 4 years old with NO added aids or sedation.

Ezra is currently schooling nicely in the arena, proving to have a lovely soft mouth and responsive to the leg.
He has jumped rustic and coloured poles but we have not rushed to progress his jumping yet.
Ezra does not look or spook his attitude towards life is quite remarkable for his young age.
He has hacked out alone and in company.
He has been in the trailer to an inhand show and also to the beach to be ready on both occasions he behaved impecably.

He would suit someone looking for their forever companion who wants to nurture this future superstar. Due to his age he would suit a more competent rider but no reason why a novice could not ride.

He is a complete pleasure to have around hence being in no rush to sell.

He currently stands around 149 but i believe he has growing to do, if he is not sold we will turn him away and keep him till next year where i think he will make a TOP CLASS SHOW COB.

5 star homes need only apply.

Open to any vetting.
