SOLD!

  • Safe and enjoyable ride
  • Genuine and sensible attitude
  • Stand out colour and conformation
Still available through absolutely no fault of his own, only due to not yet finding his perfect person!

A fantastic stamp of a cob with a great attitude, he is easy going and genuine without quirks, and absolutely loves people!

In the arena he is nicely forwards and supple with a lovely rhythm and balanced, expressive paces. He is established in basic lateral work. He is progressing everyday in his schooling and has a fabulous light contact.

Has been out to many dressage competitions and has just attended the summer BD Area festival competing at novice level, for which he behaved impeccably and was an absolute joy to take out. He stands at the trailer, is well behaved in the warm up and does not get silly or over excited. He always receives lovely comments from the judges and turns heads everywhere he goes! He has also been out to regular clinics in indoor and outdoor arenas.

Brilliant to hack and goes out alone and in company, really good in traffic and not phased by bikes, dogs etc.

He also likes jumping and pops small jumps at home. Has been out to a couple of hound exercises just for fun which he thoroughly enjoyed and was well behaved at. Doesn't get silly or hot up in a group.

Would suit someone looking for a safe confidence giving allrounder to compete in dressage, pony club, showing, go hunting or hacking. He really loves his dressage so it would be fantastic to see him go on to continue his dressage career with someone! Would suit an older rider or child or a para rider with more training.

Good to bath, clip, load, travel, groom, tack up and catch. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and vaccinations. Shod in front. No vices, lumps or bumbs.

Very reluctant sale. Please ring for more details, looking for a 5 star home for this perfect pony. Open to vetting

Middleweight Hunter – Irish Draught Gelding

Charlie – 16.1hh, 4-year-old, grey Irish Draught gelding.

A quality middleweight hunter with excellent conformation, plenty of bone, and a lovely outlook. Unbroken, but well-handled and correctly started on the long reins. Loads and travels with ease.

Charlie has attended an in-hand show with a young handler, taking everything in his stride and returning home with rosettes. He is clean-limbed, with no sarcoids, no stable vices, and displays a genuinely sweet, kind temperament.

A superb prospect to produce for hunting, showing, or general riding.

  • Good amount of bone
This super sweet, quality old fashioned type mare is going to be somebody's best friend. She is beautiful to look at and the sweetest sole. With a good amount of bone she would be a perfect maxi cob type. She has super breeding!

She is broken and riding away in walk and trot and been a pleasure to do. I haven't been in the sand paddock much with her due to her age and size but have been hacking about on her and is lovely and forward of your leg and enjoying the job!

She is wonderful to deal with on the ground and very manerly. She has been vet checked, teeth done and had her woolf teeth out, wormed up to date and also great for the farrier. She has got front shoes on due to me hacking her out and it being very cobbly around here. Again stood like an angel!

She has no quirks or vices. She is slightly pigeon toed but think as she matures this will get better. No lameness or vet history.

Stunning skewbald gelding unbroken cob 4years

George is the most stunning well marked skewbald cob you could wish for he stands at 14.3 at the moment and I think he will finish at 153cm or 15hh eventually.

He has manners to burn and is good with farrier and stands to be clipped he is so easy to handle and I think he will be a doddle to break.

Unfortunately he won’t be big enough for me or he wouldn’t be going anywhere beautiful movement a real look at me person.

Only for sale to the best home because that’s what he deserves.

Open to any vetting.

  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Sold with RIHS 2025 Coloured ticket
  • Proven succesful show record
  • Gorgeous horse, inside and out
Phoenix has had a very succesful show career so far, results including - 4th RIHS 2022, 2nd RIHS 2023, Qualified 2024 but didnt attend due to work commitments, Qualified 2025 and sold with the ride
*Also entered at GYS 2025 *

Qualified for HOYS 2022 (finished 8th) and 2023

Phoenix competes in coloured horse classes and also Maxi cob classes

He gives an exceptional ride and is always very mannerly for the ride judge, often scoring highest ride marks in his classes

Phoenix is a schoolmaster and knows his job in the ring

He also is fantastic to hack, and absolutely loves it!

Due to his lovely rhythmical and uphill paces I feel he would also be well suited to dressage.

He is Freisian X so feel this is certainly something he could excel in

He turns heads wherever he goes, he really is an oustanding horse!

Sadly available on behalf of his owner as her circumstances have changed

Whilst he is an incredibly genuine and kind horse, he would not be suited to a novice due to his size

His made to measure Black Country saddle and a Premier Equine wardrobe also available
