The Shark- Carefully backed and educated to a very good standard has a great start to life.

He is very sweet in the school and enjoys hacking alone or in company. Can throw a friend on him and have a lovely day around Somerford Park.

Very level headed not at all spooky or has any unwanted vices.

Ready for a very successful novice season and will no doubt go on to be a HOYS cob.

Clean limb very straight mover. No health issues. I would say the only thing he doesn’t like is clippers with his ears and lower legs but is getting better every time. He is a yard favourite.

20 Star home only we want him to stay very happy!

A magnificent chunky 15.1hh 4yr black cob gelding by Cairnview Forest . He was bred at Cairnview stud and has been in the same home since a foal. This stud is known for producing top class high quality cobs. Coal is WIDE, leg at each corner type.

I think you’d have to throw yourself off to fall off of him 😂

He is beautifully put together, compact, good clean bone and tonnes of mane and feather. A show cob of the future.

He has been well produced. Is calm and sensible for his age. He acts like a 10yr. The type the whole family can enjoy from the kids to the grandmother.

Done beach rides, countryside hacks and works in the school. Has started jumping proving bold and brave and popped some logs out hacking.

So if you’re looking for a solid sort that is dependable and kind. He will be the one for you.

  • Good to hack and does a nice dressage test.
  • Well bred by The Scoundel.

Ginny has been with me for 3 and half years, sadly now for sale due to my ongoing health problems.

She is a kind mare with lovely willing attitude. She has been ridden exclusively by me (66 years old and petite) during the time I have owned her.

She is ridden 4/5 days week, a mixture of hacking, including trips to fells and forests , schooling, clinics, lessons and pole work.

We have done flatwork camps, dressage competitions, endurance riding, charity gallops and horse agility.

I no longer jump, so she has not done this to date.

Good to box/clip/shoe/catch. Never sick or sorry, just gets on and tries her best.

She has a lot of life experience and would like to continue on with this varied career. She is good enough to show, but this is not something I do any more.

Shod all round. Chaps reg.

Please call for a chat if you are interested.

Gardenhill Pat - 2014 Traditional Cob Gelding

  • Fully feathered with full mane and tail
  • Perfect riding club/ BD associated champs prospect
  • Well mannered and good to do

Hamish is a 2014 traditional cob with so much to offer. He is pleasingly forward, quick to learn and enjoys a job. He is good to hack and he loads and travels well. Good for farrier, vet, etc. He is currently barefoot.

Hamish definitely shows a flare for dressage and would enjoy a home where he can show his flying feathers off! He is a good prospect for a competitive riding club or a British Dressage home, and I'm sure he'd do well at Associated Championships.

He has been lightly shown, and proved popular with judges, remaining polite and well behaved in large classes.

Hamish is not a dope on a rope - he is a smart cob with a brain, and consequently would better suit a competent rider that wants to go and do things with him. He is a sweet boy in the stable, and he enjoys a good groom and a massage.

Prior to coming to us, Hamish had been in the same home for eight years and enjoyed a variety of riding club events. Sadly, for sale only because my daughter has lost interest.

Some tack and rugs available by separate negotiation.

Adult rider, 5’7”. I’ve shown my current loan pony all season including Equifest.

I only learned to ride as an adult, so safe, sensible and confidence-giving is the priority.

Mare or gelding, with enough substance to take up my leg. Traditional cobs particularly welcome, but open to other suitable types.

Must be good to hack, handle and take out.

Nothing green or needing producing, and no sharp/strong types, bucking, rearing or bolting.

Would love something I can continue showing and possibly do some low-level jumping/Workers with.

HORSES WANTED – LOVING HOMES FOUND

Thinking of selling your horse but dreading the process?

The endless phone calls, time-wasters, missed viewings, strangers coming to the yard, costly sales livery and sometimes still no sale at the end of it.

We offer a different way.

We buy horses directly, offering a quick, straightforward and hassle-free sale, with prompt collection and fair trade prices.

But most importantly, we care about where every horse ends up.

Horses that come to us aren’t simply stood in a sales yard waiting for their next owner. Their time with us is spent enjoying life — happy hacking, trips to the beach, hunting and generally being horses.

We take the time to get to know each one, understand what they enjoy and work out what sort of job and home will suit them best. Then we find them their person — the right human and the right home for their next chapter.

Previous owners are welcome to stay in touch and follow their horse’s journey with their new family. We understand how important it is to know that a much-loved horse has landed on their feet.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

15.2hh plus

4–15 years old

Geldings only

Chunkier types particularly wanted — the chunkier the better

Genuine riding horses looking for their next job

Vices and quirks are not necessarily deal-breakers, but they must be honestly declared. We would always rather have an open conversation about a horse and decide whether they are right for us.

Fair trade prices offered with prompt collection available.

Please understand that although we are happy to consider horses with quirks, we are not a dumping ground or a way to simply get rid of bad stock. Honesty is essential. We are looking for genuine horses that deserve the opportunity to find the job and person that suit them.

A simple, stress-free sale for you, a happy time with us, and the right home at the end of it.

Please get in touch with an honest description, photos and videos of your horse. Prices must be realistic please.

Both parents are graded.

* Sire: Custom Made Movie Star

* Dam: Wystone Belle of the Ball

Qualified for CHAPS at her very first show as a yearling. Nancy has already attended TOYS and the CHAPS Championships stay away shows taking everything in her stride and stayed away with no issues at all

She performed exceptionally well at both competing against some very well seasoned ponies

Results include:

1st CHAPS champs Traditional Pony Final

1st CHAPS champs Native/Cob/Traditional Yearling

2nd CHAPS champs Native/Cob/Traditional/Yearling

3rd CHAPS champs Home Produced

2nd Toys champs Inhand coloured youngstock

4th TOYS champs Inhand youngstock

She has straight movement with lovely silky, straight feather & clean legs.

Nancy is substantial for a yearling & well put together she is expected to make 14.2hh minimum but we think more.

She has a super friendly personality & gets on well with other horses and ponies she is happy living out or stabled.

Absolutely super to catch, loads on lorry and trailer. Up to date with farrier, worming and vaccinations.

A very sad sale due to downsizing to smaller ponies due to my mums injury. We would want to keep in contact as she’s a lovely girl.

A genuine opportunity for someone looking for a quality young traditional, she’s a very special one!
