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.

Nipper is a 7 year old Irish draught gelding, who has done fantastic in the show world being runner up at Dublin in the working hunter. He is fantastic to jump and has all the ability to take a turn to showjumping.

He has spent most of his life in Ireland picking up his showing through the summer and hunting through winter which he his fantastic at but now over here he needs to find a nice home to continue doing what he loves. He works well on the flat. Nipper really is an all in one horse.

Good to hack(doesn’t mind about any kind of traffic), load, shoe and quite literally do anything with.

Although he probably ticks many people’s boxes he does have a couple bad points which are reflected in his price.

Nipper wouldn’t be for a novice rider and He didn’t pass his recent vetting on a hard circle which is not to say he wouldn’t pass but couldn’t guarantee, also has a sarcoid on his hind offside leg which hasn’t changed since a 4 year old when his current owners brought him.

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase outstanding Maxi Cob, who is a true gentleman and would turn his hoof to anything. It’s an extremely sad and genuine sale due to owners previous health issues.

Murphy is out and out the yard favourite, he is a saint to do on the ground and ridden, he’s a complete pleasure to have on the yard.

Murphy has been in the same home since a 4 year old, where he has been his owners best friend. They go on long distance hacks, pleasure rides, pole work clinics, lessons, and just general fun. Him and his owner would always go to places on their own, he’s a gem to handle and get ready.

Bought from Ireland as a 4yo to make 15.2, Murphy just didn’t stop growing and had just become too big for my client to tack up due to her own health issues.

We can’t fault this lovely horse, he has no vices, hacks out in the heaviest alone and in company, always snaffle mouthed, never been sick or sorry and is everyone’s best friend.

We have excellent viewing facilities in Worcester just 15 mins off the motorway.

Super Smart Gentleman


Ref #: 371813
  • Ideal mother/daughter/son share
  • Sweet natured and an absolute gentleman and easy to do
  • Lovely paces that cover the ground well.
£16,500 OIRO
  • 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.

Marco, 2020, 17 Irish Draught 9” bone.

Marco was backed and ridden away by myself last year, after doing a few in hand shows he was then left to mature over the winter.

Marco has just come back to me from “boot camp” where he has had some fantastic ground work put in place in the school, but has mostly been out and about hacking and seeing the world (happy for anyone to speak to riders) He’s taken to it all like a duck to water, and loves to please. A real people person who thrives off attention.

Never been rushed or had too much asked of him as these big horses take some time to mature and fill into their big frame. Our plans for the summer where to get him out in some hunt rides, farm park rides and just show him the world followed by some time with the hounds, but due to a drastic change in our personal circumstances it’s not going to be manageable.

Good with farrier, vet, physio, to clip etc. No quirks but does have a blemish on a hock after an accident as a foal, he has never been lame with it nor does it cause any issues. He has been hogged (first picture) but it’s growing back currently
