Daisy is a delightful young lady she is very friendly and loves being fussed over. She loves hacking and is very brave not spooky or silly, she will happily hack alone or in company.

I took Daisy on 2 farm rides on my own and she was super sensible and easy to tack up and load. She jumped everything that I asked her to I had the best time with her.

She has been stabled all winter with no turnout and this has not affected her temperament or ride ability at all, equally she could live out as is easy to catch and keeps herself to herself.

She is stabled on a busy competition yard with lots of comings and goings.

She will make a super riding club horse/ODE or dressage.

She has no stable vices and is up to date with teeth and vaccinations. She is barefoot at moment as has really good feet, good to clip, load etc. . Open to vetting.

She will only go to the best home as she is a special girl and has the funniest of personalities that will make you giggle. Mo

Rising 3 year old Flashy First Pony/Lead Rein Pony

£1,400 ONO
  • Cob
  • Palomino

  • Will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony
  • He is going to make some little child very happy
This handsome chap is called ‘Flash’. He is a Rising 3 years old Colt of whom we’ve had from Birth. His Mum is our 13.2hh Coloured Cob Cross, and his Dad is a 14.3hh Lemon & White Cob. We put Mum in Foal in hopes to have something bigger than herself, but unfortunately Flash is not going to make the 14hh we would have liked.

Flash has been raised on our Family Smallholding and is extremely well handled.

He is currently standing 12.2/12.3hh but is still growing and very bum high. I would personally say he’s going to make 13.2hh.

Whilst he is a Colt, he is very quiet and takes everything in his stride. Nothing fazes him!

He is used to living in or out. With Mares & Geldings. He is good to load and travel, good with the Farrier (only ever been trimmed), good with the Dentist (last seen 24th April 2025), good to catch even from the biggest of Fields, will stand all day long to be groomed. Is not fazed with being washed out (even with a Jet Wash).

He’s up to date with Wormer.

He has been bitted up with a standard Snaffle. He is currently being long reined and has had tack fitted to him, and again not bothered in the slightest.

He is currently learning all via voice commands. Walk on, Stand, Trot on, Whoa, all the basics really. He has very very good manners.

Has never bitten, kicked or bucked. Honestly this Pony has no vices whatsoever.

He is going to make some little child very happy. He will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony.

This is going to be an extremely hard sale and he will NOT just be going to anyone.

Please only enquire if you are genuine and NO dealers.

Videos available and viewings welcome.

TRADITIONAL PIEBALD WEIGHT-CARRIER MARE

Mouse, aka "Moustaffa" is a kind and gentle heavy weight cob. 13yrs old 16.2 hh weight carrier.

Mouse has a strong natural horsemanship background and has worked on the ground in our equine assisted therapy programme. For a big girl she is very respectful, and, once you are her "people" she will shine.

She is nicely forward going. Hacks out alone or in company and is good in rural traffic. Good to clip, wash etc. Good for dentist, farrier to trim - but has only ever been barefoot.

Rides western or english. Bitted or bitless.

She can occasionally show some mild stringhalt when coming out cold but no lameness issues

She turns out alone or in herd with mares and geldings and is not a dominant mare.

A very reluctant sale, but she needs a more homely home, with a mum (or two) to give her the confidence and consistency she deserves. We have too many people handling her for her to build that special attachment she is looking for.

A really genuine, super mare who loves gentle attention, grooming and pampering.

Bess - All Rounder

  • 11 years

  • Well Schooled
  • Safe
  • Fun
Bess has 3 light and balanced paces, she's well schooled and has started her lateral work. She'd suit somebody who wants to work up the levels, as she's so rideable and manoeuvrable. She has jumped around a course up to 1m in height, and has jumped higher with me at home. She loves her cross country and is brave and safe. She's safe and sensible to a fence so would equally suit a more nervous rider who would like to build confidence. She's been used in cross country lessons by novices and has carried them around safely. She's very straight forward in every aspect of ridden work.

She's been kept in a college where she's been used for riding lessons varying from total beginners to advanced. She's been used in BHS stage 1 to stage 3 exams and has recently participated in the Stage 4 coach. She's competed in unaffiliated Dressage, BD and some unaffiliated SJ. She will be going to ODE in August to add to her CV.

Has done:


Beach rides
Fun rides
Hunted
Hacks alone and in company
Unfazed by large crowds
Unaffiliated Dressage and SJ, and BD
Good in traffic
Good to Load, Catch, Handle, clip etc
Good for the farrier, Dentist, Saddler etc

In short, she's the perfect all rounder. She'd be the perfect ladies horse as she's so easy to do everything with. She'd also be the perfect family horse, so would be a good mother/ daughter/ grandmother share. She loves being fussed and just absolutely loves people. She's an incredibly versatile mare, so would easily turn to whatever would be needed from her, but would be best doing a little of everything as she enjoys the variety. She has absolutely zero mareish traits, and has got such a wonderful personality. She's honest, genuine, willing and all the best attributes you could ask from a horse.

She comes with all of her tack, recently fitted. She's got a full wardrobe with her too.

She will only go to the best home. This is an incredibly hard sale as she's become part of the family, so please no time wasters.

Home is more important than price, so price is negotiable.

Please get in touch if more information is required.

Warrier, a stunning 4-year-old lightweight cob gelding currently standing at approximately 15.1hh, expected to make 15.2hh to 15.3hh once fully matured. With a calm, kind nature and an honest way of going, Warrier has been a true pleasure to have on the yard.

He’s had a varied and positive summer with us, taking part in beach rides, fun rides, riding holidays, and happy hacking. Warrier is balanced in all three paces and has a good foundation in basic flatwork. He’s a naturally forward ride who takes his rider to a fence and shows plenty of scope, making him a joy over both show jumps and cross country fences.

He has enjoyed a few local clear rounds, has a great attitude to work, and loves his cross-country schooling. Warrier hacks alone and in company, is sensible in traffic, and shows no signs of napping, spooking, rearing, bolting or bucking.

This genuine boy would make a fabulous mother-daughter share, or suit a competent teen or small adult looking for a fun, safe and versatile cob to bring on. Due to his age, he wouldn’t be suitable for complete novices, but his temperament is second to none – he’s the sort that’s hard to find.

With further schooling, Warrier could even make an ideal riding school or RDA type.
