Lots of presence that gives off the wow factor, definitely a hard sort to find.

She’s sensible and riding well for her age but she’s still learning so no novices please.

16hh Maxi Cob 5-Year-Old Gelding

A genuine and easy lad looking for his next best friend!

This lovely 5-year-old maxi cob stands at 16hh and has done a bit of everything and always giving his best. He is straight forward and mannerly both in and out of the stable, great to handle, catch, shoe, clip, and load. Turns out happily with both mares and geldings. My eye year old leads him around the yard and will ride him around the arena.

He has attended a few local shows and received fantastic comments wherever he goes. A kind, honest type with a super temperament and willing attitude the sort that's very hard to find. He will hack in out alone or in company first or last good with traffic seeing all farm machinery daily, brave and uncomplicated towards a fence. Great in open space having done a few farm rides this year

Would make a great show prospect or a fabulous all-rounder for someone wanting a genuine, easy-going cob to enjoy and bring on further. Never thought he'd be going anywhere, genuine reason for sale and ready now to make someone very happy.

Bought as 4 year old for my daughter who enjoyed hacking beach rides and show jumping Xc schooling but then gave up horses due to university. Had hunted prior to this in Ireland.

For the last three years I have been riding Dash.

He is super easy to hack will go first or last, stand at gates or banks for you to climb on !

Very good in traffic and will hack in company or alone.

Fantastic on fun rides jumps everything and forward but calm.

Very good rhythmical paces 28 dressage at last BE event.

Careful showjumping and good xc. Attended clinics and riding club camp.

Competed lightly combined training where placed every time, unaffiliated dressage and affiliated and unaffiliated eventing. Competed 80, regularly schooling at 90.

Stunning horse with huge presence would also do well as show cob or working hunter I feel.

If you can’t ride for weeks can get back on no worries.

Generally an all round fun easy horse. Very very hard sale but my foal has now grown up and coming back from breaking and I cannot do two justice

4 years old 15hh heavy cob with hair and feather to die for…

He’s been backed and was hacked and got to see the world abit and been left to grow and mature. He’s VERY intelligent and an absolute dream to own and has so much character. He has very athletic paces with a real can do attitude and would excel in a dressage/showing home!

He’s seen ALL farm machinery and chaos on the farm including cows and hairy cows with horns which he just wants to be friends with. He needs a little bit of encouragement loading but that’s due to not doing so much but once he’s on the box he’s a pro and travels like a dream!

He went to puddledub spring show in hand and was a total showman and wasn’t bothered about anything going on around him happily munched grass in the collecting ring watching the world go by.

He’s good with the vet, been seen by the dentist regularly and doesn’t need sedated and getting better with farrier for his trims!

Serious enquiries only and can send more pictures and videos of him on request.

Triple inhand graded stallion (BSPA / CHAPS / TGCA) ( ridden graded with TGCA and CHAPS)

I’ve owned Cody since he was 6month old he is now 5 he has had a great inhand career with just some results being reserve overall supreme at bsps championships / won burwarton show / won and champion at royal Welsh small holding show and 3rd royal Windsor. He has been professionally broken and had a great start with his ridden education and now being continued in his novice showing season with being at equifest 2025 with great results.

He is good to hack alone or in company good to catch.

He has established 3 paces but is NOT a novice ride and must be confident with stallions.

In the right hands I know he will go all the way but he needs someone that can put the time into him which i currently do not have.

Have loads of photos from 6 months old upwards . Based in Worcestershire

Sad circumstances force the sale of this gorgeous, talented young horse with a very bright future.

He is a 16.3hh, 4-year-old gelding with fantastic bloodlines and was bred with eventing in mind, giving him the versatility and athleticism to excel in a range of disciplines. He has exceptional paces and real star quality that he is still growing into.

Under saddle he is now schooling in walk, trot and canter, showing a willing attitude and lovely natural balance for his age. He has started jumping and is proving bold and genuine over fences. He hacks alone and in company and has taken everything in his stride so far.

Although he has made an excellent start, he is still young and green, so he requires an experienced rider who is confident with young horses to continue his education.

A truly exciting prospect for someone who wants to produce a quality horse.

Mustang Sally Now, ‘Sally’, is an eye catching mare with a very trainable attitude and lovely personality. She started age 5 in a riding school and had been produced slowly and correctly in a dressage home from BD Prelim to BD Medium.

For the past year, Sally had predominantly been schooled for and competed in British Dressage. She had gone from being quite nervous at her first competitions to confidently and competitively competing at BD medium. She is established in half passes, walk pirouettes, simples changes, counter canter, rein backs, leg yields and all other medium movements. Sally would make the perfect Petplan horse, having gained scores previously of up to 70%. She has also had recent success at the Cavago Associated Championships in both the elementary and the medium.

Sally is happy to school in either a snaffle or double bridle. She is currently learning her changes and could either continue to move up the levels in dressage or take her career in a new direction.

Sally takes everything in her stride and would be suited to any kind of home, she has been to showjumping shows up to 80cm, cross country schooled over 90cm fences, confident in water and over ditches, hacks happily alone or in company and even enjoys a trip to the gallops and beach.

Sally is great with kids and often has a young inexperienced rider on her on lead rein and behaves perfectly. She is great to lead, groom, bath and load and travels well alone or in company.

Very kind, willing and uncomplicated mare who deserves the best of homes.

Great will all sorts of traffic

Very sensible type for her age , well put together chunky type and I feel would suit a variety of homes.
Moves beautifully so would do well in dressage , she’s the ideal stamp for someone who wants a weight carrier without wanting a plodder and she would even do well showing and is careful enough to do show jumping .
Ideal sensible low level hunter to, not a world beater but will be a super general alrounder for someone!

Brave to a fence and will help the rider out where she can.
Beautiful mare inside and out
Loads first time every time and travels well.
Good to catch shoe box clip and is just generally easy to have on the yard
Hacks alone or in company
Snaffle mouthed at all times
Well schooled for her age but obviously room for improvement, she hasn’t been rushed she’s been produced properly and is now ready to go and see the world with someone.

Clive is an absolutely delightful horse to have about. Although only recently broken in, this horse will literally do everything with a smile on his face. Trying his hardest to please his rider.

Clive is super in all traffic, he hacks alone or in company. On the busiest of roads or through the fields. He will go up the gallop on his own or in company. He has seen coloured and hunter type fences and is not at all spooky. He has three nice paces, going in an outline and a big careful jump.

Although green, he really would make the nicest all rounder for someone wanting a proper horse, or a superstar hunter as I have no doubt he would cross all kind of country. He is level, polite and snaffle mouthed, never pulling you. He will be the sort of horse that with a few more miles on his clock you'd be able to put your novice husband on to go hunting for the day.

I've also no doubt he would be very striking in the show ring.

He is good to box, shoe and clip with no vices. He has a recent clean vetting certificate when he came over from Ireland.

Seen on sales livery in Stow on the wold.

  • 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.
