Oreo, a striking 5-year-old cob gelding standing at 16hh. Oreo is a truly eye-catching horse with beautiful, balanced conformation and an exceptionally pretty presence. His gorgeous white tail gives him a unique look that turns heads everywhere he goes — he’s one of those horses that always gets noticed for his good looks and charm. With his smart markings and lovely build, Oreo is the perfect example of a well-put-together cob, combining strength, balance, and quality in one impressive package.

Oreo has a wonderful temperament and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He is kind, good-natured, and always willing to please, making him an ideal partner for riders of different levels. Here, he is regularly ridden by novice students and takes everything in his stride, showing patience and a sensible outlook that makes him very easy to trust. He works in a snaffle, is light in the hand, and goes sweetly off the leg, giving his rider a comfortable and confidence-building ride every time.

He’s lovely to hack, whether alone or in company, and is excellent in traffic. He’s well used to all kinds of farm machinery and country life, making him a brilliant choice for someone who enjoys relaxed rides through lanes, fields, or open countryside. Oreo is also a lovely, straightforward horse to take hunting — he’s sensible in open spaces, polite in a group, and enjoys getting on with the job.

Oreo has been schooled on the flat, over show jumps, and across cross-country fences. He’s honest and brave to a fence, has a good natural rhythm, and is already confidently jumps up to 90cm here. With his three balanced, comfortable paces and his enthusiastic, can-do attitude, he shows great potential for any all-round job. He’s the type of cob who will happily turn his hoof to a bit of everything — from hacking and hunting to riding club and fun days out.

He is easy to handle in every way — good to shoe, box, catch, ride, and in traffic. Oreo has no stable vices and is open to any vetting. His calm and adaptable temperament means he would suit a wide variety of homes: he would make a fantastic mother–daughter share, a brilliant addition to a riding school, or a trustworthy and fun happy hacker for someone wanting an easy, enjoyable companion.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely happy with him.
Scroll down to view his video and see what a lovely, genuine horse he is. For more information, please don’t hesitate to call me anytime on 00353 868077626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com.

Oreo is the complete package — handsome, kind, and honest — a beautifully put-together cob who will make someone a truly wonderful all-round partner.

The sweetest and most genuine cob you could wish for! To make someone very happy, a super family cob, happy hacker, would possibly suit riding school. Carrot is a super chap, as wide as he is tall and like riding a comfy small armchair. He loves his hacking alone and in company, hasn’t been at all bothered by any traffic met with us and is very sensible.

He’s not the fastest but not overly bothered if out in company and he gets left behind by his sportier friends! Carrot is working sweetly in the school in all paces and will trot over a little jump, he’s very keen to please, he is still green but obedient to the aids and learning about outlines; he’s naturally very together on the flat , he’s a lovely mover and will with further schooling do a lovely dressage test.

He’s a super model of a traditional cob who moves really well and would do well in show ring (TGCA would be ideal for him) He’s still on the greener side of things but a very simple ride and always tries to please, his brain is wonderful to work with. He has been ridden by a variety of riders with us from confident novice upwards, everyone loves him! He has the most lovely can do attitude and just gets on with whatever you ask of him. With a bit more schooling he will do a very neat dressage test. Whatever he ends up doing he will give a lot of fun.

Carrots lovely temperament continues in and out the stable, he’s excellent to catch, box, clip, bath, feet trim ( barefoot v good feet) and just wants to be your friend.

Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He doesn’t drive yet but would look wonderful in harness and has the right brain to do this job safely.

He has a lot to offer his new owners and we look forward to seeing him make someone really happy.


DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

Ref #: 249896
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below

One of the main issues that RDA groups face is finding an Equine to suit the needs of the participants in their group.

We are regularly contacted with offers of Equines that are ‘the ideal RDA horse or pony’ when actually what is ideal for one group may not be for the next. We are trying to move away from the stereotypical view that RDA Equines are elderly and somewhat static, our horses and ponies need to be fit, healthy and athletic to cope with the lifestyle in an RDA group.

They can range from smaller, forward going ponies to weight carrying cobs and can take part in a range of disciplines from Riding to Carriage Driving, Vaulting to Show Jumping and Endurance.

If you contact an RDA Group about your Equine please be prepared to fill in an Equine Initial Interest Form which will ask you many questions about your horses’ temperament, health history, experience and lifestyle. Many groups will prefer to have an equine on trial to make sure they are suitable for the job.

For long term loans and purchases they will also be required to have a Pre-Purchase Examination.

If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below.

Woody is a real sort after type, registered with the British skewbald and piebald association with recorded breeding. By Lakelodge Leonardo, a traditional cob out of BSPA elite graded stallion Duke.

Woody has the most beautiful nature, he is fantastic to do in every way, catch, load, clip, shoe etc he is always happy to see you and has a very friendly character. He is a mother’s dream on the ground, he has been a pleasure to have on the yard.

Woody has been professionally schooled, he works in a nice outline, with 3 rhythmical paces. He is still young so can be a little green with canter transitions. Never naughty or silly.
He would certainly go on in the world of showing and would equally produce a good dressage test.

Woody has been a superstar to hack, alone and in company. He has been very good in traffic and open spaces, a real armchair ride to hack.

Woody has popped around a small course of fences, he is not going to set the world alight with his jumping but he always has a good go and really enjoys his jumping. He has done a small course of 70cm has ability to go a little higher.

Woody is looking for a home for someone to truly love him, he loves the variation of schoolwork hacking and jumping and would be a solid allrounder for someone to have fun on.

Sad sale with a genuine reason.

For sale on behalf of a client.

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.

Charismatic rising 5 year old, 17hh Shire Mare for Sale. Frances is a true example of a Shire Horse, she is dark bay with 4 white socks, plenty of feather and a white strip.

She combines power, elegance and a willingness to work. She is a straight mover and has an impressive walk, trot and canter. Frances is a responsive and forward going ride, however she is snaffle mouthed at all times.

I have no doubt she will excel in any sphere, she would look brilliant in the hunting field, dressage arena, show ring or even out eventing.

Frances is excellent to hack both alone and in company, she has seen lots of traffic and is always well behaved. She has been on forestry rides, jumped ditches and is a pleasure to take anywhere!

To handle, Frances is a gentle giant. She has been to arena hires and is good to load and she will stand on the trailer whilst another horse is being ridden.

Frances would be an asset to any yard!

- Based at our Burford centre -

Tweety Pie is a sweet-natured, affectionate little cob mare who is looking for a loving companion-only home. She adores attention, enjoys being around people, and is happiest when she can be part of someone’s daily routine.

She is easy to catch, lead, and groom, making her a pleasure to handle. She does need a bit of continued support with having her feet picked out—she can be a little fidgety, but is improving with consistent training.

As a companion, Tweety Pie is fantastic with both mares and geldings, settling nicely into a herd and keeping the peace. She can live out year-round or part stable, depending on your setup. Being a typical good-doer, she will need restricted grazing to help manage her weight.

Tweety Pie would love a home where she can enjoy in-hand walks with a friend, spending quality time exploring and bonding.

If you’re looking for a kind, cuddly companion horse who will brighten your yard, Tweety Pie may be your perfect match.

Fabulous Fred

Smart, solid and full of quality, this stunning 15.1h 6-year-old maxi cob gelding is an absolute head-turner with excellent bone, feather and a kind, expressive face.

He has a lovely, genuine temperament and is a pleasure to handle in every way. Easy to catch, shoe, box and clip. Good to do both on the yard and out and about.

Riding nicely on the flat with three balanced, comfortable flashy paces. He has the scope and attitude to turn his hoof to a variety of disciplines, making him an ideal all-rounder or fun family horse. He would excel in the show ring, in my opinion has the potential to be a HOYS / top end show cob! Equally he’s a fabulous riding club activities or as a quality leisure horse as well.

Clean-limbed, open to vetting, and ready to find a loving home.

Fred has done loads of unaffiliated showing and is always a big hit with the judges, he’s also competed dressage and unaffiliated showjumping and has been super successful at these too.

Hacking he is better in company as he’s a little nervous of big traffic coming up behind him which is the only reason for sale as current own just wants to hack

Incredibly Sad sale, He’s been in the same home since he was 6 months old

A genuine, quality show cob who is a pleasure to have around. 10* home is a must for fabulous Fred

The Ultimate Confidence Giver

Reenie is an exceptional 15.2hh 8 year-old Cob mare who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. She is kind, bold, dependable, massive weight carrier, ideal for a wide range of riders – from complete beginners, nervous adults and children to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm and steady ride.

Reenie is beautifully put together and has been there, done that, in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing mare, she is the definition of safe and steady. She has more woah than go making her a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability or responsiveness.

Ideal for Beginners, RDA, All-Round Riders

Reenie has worked extensively in a professional riding school environment for the past 2.5 years, and she has excelled with every level of rider, from total novices to advanced. She is also a firm favourite for RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) and special requirements sessions, both under saddle and during stable management and therapy activities.

She has experience in flatwork lessons, both private and group, as well as participating in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. She is confident over coloured and rustic fences and has a bold, careful jump. She would easily compete in showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and hunting.

Reenie also absolutely loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. She will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. She is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. She remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home, you can gallop her across open fields with loose horses running along side her, then immediately pull her up and allow her to walk on a long rein or ask her to stand while horses run around her, she is most definitely not sharp, spooky or spiny.

She has been truly exceptional during her time on the riding school, she is unbelievable forgiving when rider lose their balance, struipps or have a bad stride into a fence, she always takes care of her riders, her substantial build, with a leg in each corner, combined with her calm disposition, sure-footedness, and gentle nature, gives even the most nervous riders the confidence to progress and excel. She will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as needed, without moving an inch. I can honestly say she has absolutely no quirks, negative or marish traits.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three beautiful balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work into a nice outline with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible, she has NEVER bolted, bucked, reared, kicked or bitten, she is the most loving kind mare you could ever wish to meet. Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

She also was broken to drive at 3.5 years of age and participated in a lot of driving activities on the road and cross country, Reenie has got fantastic foundation of driving having been professionally and consistently coached through the steps ensuring she has a full understanding of the driving process, despite her immense strength she remains very soft and light in the hand when ridden, she is not pulley or strong under saddle.

Manners, Temperament, Handling

Reenie has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a head collar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she happy living in or out. In the field, she keeps herself to herself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Reenie has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness. Full veterinary history from birth, she has only had 2 owners.
She is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. She is excellent to bath, catch, great to load and travel, fantastic with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

She is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. She can have weeks or even months off and return to ridden work without any fuss. She maintains her condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

She passes our riding school annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

A Truly Special Mare

Reenie is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you’re re a nervous adult, a beginner rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Rennie fits the bill perfectly. She is a genuine schoolmistress who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

Why Is She for Sale?

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every two years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Reenie is ready to bring joy to her next rider and deserves the very best home. She has been truly exceptional.

Geoff is a 14.2hh chunky Bay Blagdon gelding, 4 years

We have had Geoff since the start of summer and he was purchased as a project. Sadly a change in my work circumstances force a sale earlier than I would have liked. That being said, he has been broken to ride lightly and is proving to be everything we hoped.

He has a placid, sweet but brave nature and is fabulous to be around. Catch, lead, tie up, muck out round, groom, farrier. He has a lovely nature with other horses too.

Over summer he has worn tack, long reined in the school and on the lane and has been ridden round the school and on the lane. Nothing has been rushed, he has then been turned away for a number of weeks and brought back in. The fact that we brought him in, tacked him straight up and got on for a stroll round the arena and the yard is indicative to the nature of this lovely cob. Easy, unflappable and trainable.

He is young and green so will be sold to a knowledgeable home only, however, he is going to make someone a fabulous cob with size and substance. They don’t make them like this anymore. We can also continue with his education for the short term (should his new owner wish).

Serious enquiries only. He is based near Whalley, Lancashire. He can come with tack by separate negotiation and we can arrange transport nationally.

Geoff is sound, never sick or sorry, no sweetitch, great feet and no sarcoids.

He is open to vet.

Would love to find my boy Walton Blue Eyed Boy his forever home

Blue is a very handsome bright bay registered Shire gelding. He will be 6 this year and is a big boy currently measuring at 18.3hh. He is very striking with lots of feather and unique blue eyes.

Blue is good to catch, shoe, clip, travels in a lorry and trailer. Will hack alone and in company. Is not bothered by traffic and being bought up on a farm is used to farm animals, large machinery and dogs.

He has been shown very successfully in hand and last year started under saddle. We've even done some BD.

Due to his size we've taken things slowly. He's done a little bit of everything but wouldn't be suitable for a novice. He is still green and needs more milage. He may be massive but he's a sensitive chap and takes his confidence from his handler/rider.

This is an incredibly hard decision. We have owned Blue from 6 months old but due to my daughter now competing more I just do not have the time he deserves. Would love for him to find a person to give him the one to one and love he deserves.
Home is the most important thing.

Please bear in mind, he really is 18.3hh, he will need a big stable. He is nearly a tonne of horse and he isn't going to go like a thoroughbred or Arab. He is bred to pull.
Any questions please just ask. Have numerous photos and videos.

Stunning dun cob gelding!

Dun. Irish cob . Gelding . 8yo. 16.2hh

Stable name - Buddy 

-Kind nature
-Great temperament
-Becomes part of the family

Buddy has got one of the nicest temperaments you will ever find in a horse. He loves having fuss and attention and will stand to be groomed and pampered for hours.

He is a great allrounder. He schools lovely on the flat and has three balanced paces.
He definitely one to make it to hoys or county level. He is a great versatile cob he also has a lovely jump and has proven to be very willing and honest to a fence.

He is good to hack alone or in company. Not phased by farm machinery or the heaviest of traffic. In my opinion I truly believe you would be a life time trying to find his double.

This gelding is top quality and one that will go far! I believe he would be a great hoys contender for a maxi cob or show hunter.

He is good to load and travel.
Upto date to all vacs, teeth, back etc

George - Rising 5 years, very smart Irish cob 

He would make a lovely allrounder

He has such a sweet personality and would stand to be pampered all day long! Has been great to catch/farrier/clip/load ect. He rides well in the arena and has been super to hack out alone or in company in traffic ect.

Great mover so would do a lovely dressage test.

He wouldn’t suit a total novice as still needs confidence from his rider, absolutely no badness whatsoever just needs miles. Not a spooky type.

He really is a lovely chap who is ready to be loved and go and see the world!
