RED Honest Ad


Ref #: 409274
  • Red -Stunning Lad
  • 15-3H
  • Not a novice ride
£7,000 no VAT
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Skewbald
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.3 hands
  • Red -Stunning Lad
  • 15-3H
  • Not a novice ride
Red is a stunning lad with a kind heart, but he is quite sensitive and needs an experienced person to bring out the best in him.
Red can be nappy when leaving the yard on his own, nothing nasty. This stops with regular work. Great to hack out with others, but can have the odd spook, so not for a novice rider, great in traffic.
I feel Red would thrive in a busy yard, as he doesn't like being left when I take my other horse out for a ride.
To be honest, I was sold on him as a happy hack, and he is not for a novice rider. He has a cosmetic little lump on his front leg, but this has never bothered him in the two years I have owned him, but won't make a show horse, Red has always been sound.
Red did take a little time to settle here at first, but when I got his trust, he was always the first to come out of the field to see me. Reds at the bottom of the pecking order in my herd, so this is the main reason I am going to sell him, as I feel sorry for him, as he always gets left when I rideout as he is too much for me. I am on the wrong side of forty to be falling off due to my riding skills, nothing to do with him. Any more questions, just ask. I will be honest, I only want what's best for Red, and that's not me :(
He hasn't really done anything over winter, just hacking out now and then, so needs to be brought back into work to build up his top line etc, but he will be a very good looking horse when fit and in full-time work. We have started bringing him back into work with lunging, long-reining and short hacks.
Red is brilliant to load in a 3.5t box and travels amazingly, great with the vet, farrier, clipping and when being groomed. Stands to be tacked up and mounted, he is a genuinely lovely boy but is just too much horse for me.
Red has hunted in the passed in Ireland
Comes with saddle and bridle and rugs cost over £2000

16.2hh | 6yo PBA (WB x Arab) Gelding


Ref #: 409023
  • A very special young horse with an exceptional future
  • Two full siblings placed in HOYS last 3 years
£6,000 ONO
  • Arab Part Bred
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 6 years
  • 16.1 hands (LHC)
  • A very special young horse with an exceptional future
  • Two full siblings placed in HOYS last 3 years

Lockie is a quality young gelding with outstanding presence and truly exceptional paces. He is a fabulous prospect with a bright future ahead of him in a variety of disciplines.

Carefully produced and backed by myself last year, Lockie has been slowly and thoughtfully brought on, and is now riding away nicely and ready to begin his career. He would excel as a show horse (with striking, symmetrical markings—his full brothers have both placed at HOYS in the past three years), or equally in dressage, eventing, show jumping, or endurance. He has outstanding rhythm, three expressive paces, and a particularly eye-catching, floating canter.

Lockie is light, balanced, and athletic, with a lovely way of going. He is barefoot and up to date with vaccinations (flu/tetanus). He hacks out confidently both alone and in company, and is happy to lead or follow.

He is not suitable for a novice rider - Lockie is a sensitive, intelligent horse who thrives with a competent, consistent rider and a calm, quiet environment. He would be best suited to a small, knowledgeable yard with a good routine and daily turnout. Once he builds a partnership, he is an absolute dream to ride.

Lockie is a very sweet natured horse, but he is sensitive to his environment and the energy of those around him, he will form a strong bond with the right person. He is currently settled with a farrier and vet he is comfortable with.

This is a truly heartbreaking sale. I have owned Lockie since he was a yearling and never imagined I would part with him. However, due to a change in my personal circumstances and increased family commitments, I can no longer give him the consistent time and work he needs and deserves. As I approach my 60s, I feel he would be far better suited to someone younger, who can dedicate the time and energy to bring out his full potential.

A very special home is essential for this much-loved horse.

Excellent stamp of a Traditional Gypsy Cob 15.1hh coloured gelding, rising 5yrs ( 5 late July) . Passported TGCA , red stud book .

By San Cler Pearl Ambition out of Acresdale Hairy Mary, who is by the lovely sort after stallion SHAMBO .

Since being with us Rodney has turned heads showing , winning or being placed in every class entered ( inhand and ridden coloureds and cobs) .

We have been told by a professional show breeder and producer to show him County level as he has the potential to qualify HOYS / Royal International etc, but it's not really our thing .

He does a lot of hacking with us, through fords, common land and in traffic. He goes in front or behind and everyone who rides him falls in love. He hasn't done much jumping yet due to his age but has recently been arena XC and jumped absolutely everything asked including water, ditches, steps. I call him Mr "Yes" Man . Still green / wobbly schooling but has three basic paces and ready first someone to put their own stamp on .

Rodney was purchased on a wim last Autumn as current pony was lame but sadly he is going to be too big for the jockey he was meant for so we have come to the sad reality that he needs his forever home. Honest sort that is very hard to find.

Very sweet boy who is going to be someones best friend for life . No vices, up to date worming, teeth, vaccinations etc . A star in the making . Essex.

Shaggy the Legend! Do you want something that has brakes, manners, and a brain but is still great fun.

He’s a lovely 6-year-old gelding, 16.1/2hh and somehow still convinced hes a Labrador on the ground.

Very straightforward. Moves well would do well showing, Hacks alone or in company, Traffic doesn’t bother him (tractors, lorries, chaos — he judges silently and carries on)? Good to box, clip, shoe. Has whipped in and hunted with various packs, been on pleasure rides, schooling, hill rides he’s a landrover defender! Manners better than most dinner guests!

This is the sort that turns up, gets on with the job, and doesn’t spend his spare time plotting your early retirement from horse ownership. Doesn’t need riding every day, I would hunt weds and sat and turn him out between prefers to be in when the weather isn’t nice!

Whether you want to hunt, hack, have fun, or just own something sane enough to restore your faith in horses — he’s your man. Has

Only for sale because of a sad change of direction for his lady owner hanging up her hunting boots.

Shaggy has hunted with the SWWW, Eggesford, Tiverton, Teme Valley, Cottesmore, Cotswold, Dulverton West and Vale TB Harriers. He’s whipped in, field mastered and goes off on his own. He’s equally happy ‘coffee housing somewhere’. Stands like a rock at the meet with hounds literally underneath his front legs, stands stops and goes. Extremely easy, jumps ditches/rails etc. He has 3 good paces on the flat and would do well in the show ring as he moves very well for a bigger horse. Still got some filling out to do so would be a sensible weight carrier. Very easy to do and have at home, current owner juggled hunting, young child and full time job. Stays away from home visiting other packs happily and will stand on the trailer with a net alone happily during breakfast meets or a post hunting cuppa. Has also been to an arena xc hire/SJ and has a great jump. Hacks alone or in company roads, open spaces, heavy traffic no ifs or buts. Confidence giving back and if you can find something jump he’s even happier!

Only for sale as owner sadly not hunting next season onwards due to change of direction and Shaggys heart lies on the hunting field. He’s an armchair ride and is snaffle mouthed all of the time. See pics but he is goat/pig/cow proof as lives on edge of working farm so used to all animals and big traffic. If you want something to jump on and go he’s your man! Used to riding out with a multitude of dogs and goats, great on the yard with my little girl and tractors/motorbikes etc.

Serious enquiries only, a good long term home is absolutely paramount. Would love to stay in touch ideally, good trial facilities available, open to vet.

NO MORE TIMEWASTERS. If you book to view please turn up or at least contact in advance if you can’t come anymore!!!

**NB Also for sale Ladies navy frock coat with storm sleeves 32/34, 2 x ladies hacking jackets 10/12 and a 14. Glass saddle flask and leather case and beautiful ladies hunting whip. All used but great condition. Open to offers

A sports horse in a cobs body

Sophie is looking for her forever home, we've had so much fun with her over the last couple of years, but I am too tall for her and would love to see her make someone else happy.

She loves XC, she's been schooling and will happily lead another. She's done hunter trials on her own and as a pair. She's done a mini team chase. And also been out with the farmers bloodhounds. She also competed at trailblazers championships last year in show jumping.

Sophie schools nicely in walk and trot, with the start of some lateral work, the canter is coming, but can be unbalanced at times.

She will live in or out, she does prefer living with other horses. She is good to hack alone or in company, great in traffic and open spaces.

Sophie does need a competent rider as she is a powerful little horse, she wants someone that will have the best time with her. Not suitable for a novice. She's currently in a snaffle, but she has also been in a stronger bit when needed.

Outdoor fun loving horse, she would love a home where she can do fun rides, hunter trails and a bit of hunting.

Serious enquiries only, no time wasters!

Darcy is just a fabulous forward going sensible happy mare. Ideal 2nd horse for someone who wants a loveable pocket rocket. Loves to work and is just a straightforward ride. Not spooky.

15.1/15.2
Based near Alfreton.

Bought for my daughter when she was 14 and she has gone to uni. Darcy Is wasted with me. I trusted her with my daughter. She is an experienced mare who will give you a great deal of fun in whatever sphere you choose.

She loves to jump. She is a xc machine and can fly around Eland Lodge. Jumps a course of 90cm with ease. Fillers no problem.
She can equally hack alone and is an independent mare with a little bit of sass when needed out competing. She likes to win!
Has competed in one day events and hunted with previous owner.
Can be left and doesn't need riding daily.

She does have some health issues, but oh my gosh her benefits outweigh these. An experienced horse owner will hopefully see through these as her positives outweigh these.
She has asthma and is an occasional headshaker. She has antihistamines all year round, a nose net in summer and a uv mask when out in field. She does have meds available from vets to ease in summer when needed which includes ventapulmin and oral steroids. This may affect some summer riding. This is reflected in her price.
Full vet history available to be discussed.
May put her ears back at geldings if they dare to get too close. She hacks with my other gelding fine.

Can live in or out.

She would be amazing for someone who wants to step up to the next level to teach someone the ropes.
Not for a novice.

She has previously bred 2 foals. They are now 5 and 6. She is a great mum.
Has been on same yard with 3 different owners since very young.

Can be sold with made to measure saddle and bridle at additional cost.

Friesian x warmblood. Up to date with jabs. Great feet.

It breaks me to sell her, but it's the right decision now.
Serious enquiries only. Please call to see if she is what you are looking for.

Quality young horse by Samaii, professionally backed and ridden away. Santiago is straight forward to ride with a can-do attitude.

He oozes quality and is good enough to be a dressage horse, however he is bold, scopey and easy to a fence.

Nothing fazes him, he hacks alone and in company. He has been to arena hires and cross country schooling, he is ready for his first show.

Produced on a farm he is used to all farm traffic, animals and flapping plastic that comes with farm life.

Good to shoe, clip, load, worm. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming. Due to owners ill health, Santi requires someone to take over the reins and put their own stamp on him.
