  • Schooled cross country and competed at local shows

Such a sweet mare with a heart of gold !

A very brave horse cross country and she is really enjoying her jumping! Ditches, water, steps are no problem to her. The type that will happily canter around jumping and then will walk calmly on a loose rein.

Very easy to ride round a course of fences , doesn’t rush or pull but stays in a positive rhythm. Not phased by spooky fillers and comfortably jumping around 90/1m courses.

Ridden in a snaffle at all times , she is incredibly mannerly for a big horse. Has competed at local shows, always in the placings, she has huge presence and a real head turner! Her behaviour is impeccable off the yard, she stands quietly and doesn’t hot up or get silly.

Her flatwork is coming along very well, she is light and responsive without being sharp. She has very good natural balance and would be an exciting dressage prospect!

She has been carefully and slowly produced being mindful of her size. She has the makings of a top class hunter with her easy brain and love for cross country. Good to hack, clip, box, shoe, catch.

This mare will be a real pleasure to own!

Based in Roscommon, Ireland and transport can be arranged.

  • HOYS Quality
  • Fantastic temperament
  • Wonderful mover
Absolutely stunning 3yo RID gelding, by Inishfree the Iron Cross.
Potential HOYS centre line Maxi, or a top contender for Draught classes.
Clean, straight, with exceptional movement.

His temperament is A1- curious and affectionate.
He is still green, having mostly been given time in the field to socialise and grow, alongside some basic in hand work. But he would rather be getting fuss and acting like an overgrown puppy than misbehaving!!

Good to handle, have his feet trimmed, bring in and out, go on the walker, load and travel.

Serious buyers sought for a serious little horse! Gutting sale due to him growing more than I had hoped.

Meet Milo, the cob that can do EVERYTHING

9yo 15hh Irish Cob that is the ultimate all rounder, working hunter, hunter, pony club horse, you name it he could do it.

Milo is a striking chap with beautiful markings, he rides beautifully on the flat with all established changes, we feel he will turn heads in the show ring for working hunter.

Milo has been used as an all rounder most of his life, he has previously hunted as a younger horse, however there is plenty in the engine for him to further a far wider career than just pony club but he is happy doing whatever job is asked of him always having his ears pricked and loves to work. Very sensible to ride, goes lovey off your leg and is more of a point and go type of ride than your typical kick along cob.

Milo is exceptionally scopey with a lot more to him than meets the eye on the ground, don’t be put off by him being a cob, as this cob can!

Milo hacks for miles on his own and in company, he’s a true gent to handle and do everything with and he’s ready for his new adventure.

Please message me or call for any further info.

EYE CATCHING DRESSAGE/ ALLROUNDER MARE


Ref #: 386042

  • Established movements
£25,000
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 7 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • Eye catching
  • Established movements

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% at elementary.

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.
