A really exciting opportunity to buy a 6 year old gelding who has only just been 'backed'and ridden away in the last 6 weeks. He has a straight forward temperament, and has been given time to mature. Well handled, but only started his training 2 months ago. He is sensible, brave because he is happy to go on his own on quiet hacks. He is very good in company, and to lead from another horse.

Out of an unraced TB who was by Wace. By Bollin Eric (successful racehorse & NH Sire) Very good to handle on the ground, and when ridden.

He obviously needs an experienced home but he is guaranteed untried and has been given time to mature. He has correct conformation, and seems to be supple and athletic.

Based in Devon; 15 minutes from Exeter.

Attractive 16.2hh Irish Sports Horse mare, 12 years old. A lovely genuine girl with a kind temperament who enjoys building a partnership with her rider.
Would suit a confident teenager or adult looking for a horse to bring on and develop. Not a novice ride as she can be a little bossy at times, but nothing nasty – just needs a consistent rider who won’t let her take advantage.
Good to catch, load and for the farrier. Good in traffic and works nicely in the school.
She has been out of work due to lack of time (young family forces very sad sale), so will need bringing back into fitness. Sold from the field and priced to reflect this.
Best suited to a one-to-one home where she can bond with her rider. She has plenty to give and will make a rewarding partner in the right hands.
No health issues or vices.
5 star home is a must.
Based North Yorkshire

Superb 16.2hh 5yo allrounder / hunter / dressage gelding

  • Has a recent clean vet cert and clean partial set X-rays

  • Has had an allround education at arena hires, shows, hunting in England and Ireland
  • Has a recent clean vet cert and clean partial set X-rays

Max is a beautiful, much sought after, stamp of horse. He combines bone and presence but is light on his feet and not a cob like ride!

He is a super quality 5yr old, 16.2hh ID X ISH (white book no breeding recorded) gelding. He was purchased from Ireland last Novembe. Max had done some hunting and lots of hacking in Ireland. He was then professionally produced on further in England. He has been hunting and proved sensible, careful and bold. He has attended numerous arena hires, clear round shows, and dressage shows (at intro level due to having a rather larger than life canter!) Max has always proved to have an exceptional attitude towards his education and has taken everything in his stride.

Max is working sweetly on the flat, he has a nice mouth and wants to go to the contact and work correctly. His walk and trot are super, his canter is slightly green as he is a big boy and needs to strengthen up to learn and be capable of collection! He is willing in his brain, has a lovely trainable attitude. He has been to intro dressage tests, and was fabulous in the warm up arena and in the boards.

Max is good to hack alone or in company. He is bombproof in heavy traffic/motorbikes and quads. He is a young horse, and despite how rock solid he is in traffic he still is only the age he is, so if a pheasant flies up underneath him or something jumps out he may have a bit of a spook/jump, but this is to be expected with his age.

Max is very sweet to jump, he is capable of being very good over a fence with a good technique in front, and behind. As stated previously his canter is a little green so he really would benefit from strengthening work to improve the canter and therefore jumping a course fluently in the canter. He is good over fillers, he will trot and pop or canter to a fence.

Max is good to clip, shoe, load on a trailer or 3.5 tonne lorry. He is good to travel, bath, catch. Good to pull his mane etc. he is a lovely horse to have around. He turns out alone/ in a heard / with mares or geldings.

He has no health issues, he has a clean vet cert, and set of X-rays of front feet (due to clients previous experiences with own other horse). Max is for sale through no fault of his own, due to owners change in personal circumstances. In the last couple of months he has predominantly been doing lots of hacking and fun rides and some arena hires.

Not suitable for a total novice as is a young horse.

Fitted tack available at negotiation.

Kippagh Choice, affectionately called ‘Neville’ by our girls, is a one-in-a-million find for a family with many riders, a riding club member looking for a capable, unflappable partner, or an amateur looking for a confidence-boosting, gentle allrounder.

He is a big-bodied, weight carrier standing at 16.1h with a little more growing to do. He is a stunning blue roan 4yo Irish Draught x Cob.

We have yet to find something he is afraid of! He enjoys hacking alone or with others, has no problem around lorries, machinery, cows, traffic, or busy arenas. He’s extremely brave and settled in new places and open fields.

He has been competing locally with us and loves it. His steady, comfy canter and adjustable stride is ideal for a nervous rider on course.

He has been dressage schooling and travels easily in the contact in a loose ring snaffle. He is not lazy or overly forward, he stays right under the leg, even with a petite 5’ girl.

With his floaty, suspended movement and blue roan colour, we think he’d make a fabulous horse for showing hunter classes or dressage competitions

He has been cross country schooling and enjoys it very much. We believe he’d make a great hunt horse with his mellow personality and great attitude for water, ditches, coffins, etc.

He is very easy to catch, load, tie, plait, bathe, shoe, etc. He is notoriously friendly and gentle, our girls adore his willing and sweet personality. He gets along well with all other horses and has no vices.

He is open to any vetting

Price includes delivery to UK, exchange if you are not happy

Sweet sooty buckskin PRE mare, fully registered in U.K. and Spain. 15h/15years.

She has spent most of her life as a brood mare so now a ridden mare with very low mileage.

She was professionally backed 2 years ago and has since been mainly hacked. She is happy in a group or on her own and has proven herself.

She came to me 3 years ago fearful of people and had to learn to trust and learn a different way of life. She’s now sweet and trusting and so deserving of her own person where she would continue to flourish. She has a lovely movement in all three paces.She remains unshod as feet are great.

In the school she is green and has an unproven jump, we have concentrated on getting her out and about and seeing the world. She catches, leads and loads well, she’s been to a few local shows. She has lived out all year with me.

She is a genuine, straightforward mare with a great attitude to her work. She is vice-free, never nappy and enjoys being ridden and having a job.

On the flat she is forward going yet safe, working nicely off the leg. She is still improving in the school and would benefit from further schooling, therefore not a complete novice ride. However, she is kind and genuine and would not do anything naughty.

Jumping, she is brave, forward and careful, with a big, scopey jump and a positive attitude to a fence. She takes you confidently in and shows a good technique. With a little more work on the flat, she has all the attributes to make a lovely event horse.

Out hacking she is excellent – happy to go first or last, alone or in company, and is very good in all types of traffic, making her a pleasure to ride out.

On the ground she is easy in all ways – good to catch, load, clip and shoe, and is straightforward to handle around the yard.

A genuine, honest mare with plenty to like, ideal for someone wanting a fun, forward and capable horse to continue producing and enjoying.

She has a small melanoma under her tail which has been reflected in the price. It does not affect her in any way and she is fit, healthy and in regular work.

Has done riding club and pony club activities. Has hunted and whipped in with Devonshire hunt.

Has a great jump over cross country fences and show jumps . Will ride in an outline .

Done plenty of hacking both alone and in company. Lots of videos available .

Too much horse for my very novice husband who now commutes to full time work in the city. We also have a new baby expected later this year hence quick sale needed, been out of work for the past few months but lots of videos available. Never ever nasty but can be slightly nervous until he establishes trust.

Best offer around £3000 buys. I paid over 8k for him under a year ago, so please no time wasters. Desperate to find this chap a suitable loving home

He would benefit from routine and work with experienced owner which we unfortunately can’t provide at the moment.

A beautiful 15 hh 4-year-old (7/5/22) Connemara gelding by the renowned Rusheen Boy. Padraig is a real old-fashioned type, with plenty of bone and correct conformation.

Purchased from the Clifden Sales, he is only available due to a genuine change in circumstances and through absolutely no fault of his own.

Over the past few months, we have invested plenty of time in his groundwork and he is close to being ready to back.

Padraig demonstrates excellent potential for the future, with a naturally scopey jump. He has siblings successfully competing around the world.

He is up to date with vaccinations, dentist and farrier and passed a two-stage vetting in April.

Padraig thrives on one-to-one attention and enjoys being kept busy. He would suit a knowledgeable home looking to produce a quality young horse.

Will make a lovely Summer project.

This mare was imported, unbroken, from Ireland as a 5 year old. She's beautifully bred with half ID x TB blood. She was broken in shortly afterwards has been brought on slowly. She has now just turned 7 years. She has been hacked and lightly hunted and schools nicely on the flat and over jumps. She has done a couple of fun rides and loads well on a 3.5T lorry. She has the potential to excel in any sphere and needs a new rider to take her forward and continue her education.

She's fantastic as a hack, stands politely at the mounting block, great in traffic, regularly crosses 'A' roads. She goes out happily on her own or with company. She's great in the stable and on the floor. She lives in or out and she's excellent to catch, coming to call.

She has recently been at schooling livery and is starting to work nicely on the flat. Her schooling is continuing to progress and she's also been introduced to coloured poles and is proving athletic in this area. She has the potential to be a versatile all-rounder or competition horse. She would make a brilliant ODE for someone to progress with.

She's a horse that likes a job to do and thrives on being ridden. Unfortunately, I no longer want to compete and I don't have the facilities to bring her on so she's being totally wasted. At Schooling livery she worked politely in the school and is jumping well. She now needs a new home where she can move forward and enjoy being produced. Masses of potential and a very classy mare.

She is in excellent health. She has no issues or sarcoids and great feet. She's only been lightly ridden and passed a 5 Stage vetting 18 months ago when I took her on. This is available and open to any further vetting. She is priced to sell. Good home is essential. No loans. Please WhatsApp for further info.

  • Exceptionally affectionate personality – great with children
He is a lovely, genuine type who is easy to have around and forms a real bond with his person. Exceptionally friendly and people-oriented, he thrives on attention, is great with children, and will happily stand for hours to be fussed (often grooming you back!).

He has been correctly started and has recently benefitted from professional schooling, giving him a solid foundation. He is willing, trainable, and always tries his best, with a nice brain and a genuine attitude to his work.

Hacks well, has been on pub rides, and is good in traffic. Although young, he is sensible with a kind outlook on life.

As expected for his age and type, he is a sensitive, responsive ride with presence and sparkle, and will continue to improve with consistent riding and education.

He would suit a confident rider looking for a fun, rewarding horse to develop further. He shows nice potential for lower-level dressage or riding club activities.

Very difficult decision as he is such a lovable boy and genuine reason for sale but after returning to riding after a long break, alongside work and family commitments I feel he deserves someone who can give him the consistency and confidence to progress. Due to his age, he is not suitable for a novice.

Experienced loving home awaits for horse that doesn’t require me to put on my brave pants!

Any age or type considered but must be as safe as they come out hacking alone and in company (including traffic). 16-17hh. Mid teens budget. I mostly enjoy learning and pottering about at home so something that seeks the quiet life not the regular drama of the dressage arena!

Yearly beach trip will be an essential because every horse deserves a seaside holiday.

Stable ready and waiting. Happy to stay in contact. References available.

  • Backed and began riding away
  • Active, quality paces

Bags of 'look at me' presence and personality.

Welsh parents and a Clydesdale Grandparent. Breeding sadly not recorded but traceable.

Kerys came to A.E Equestrian last year to be lightly backed and then turned away to mature. She didn't take many weeks to get hacking out well.

About weeks ago when Keyrs came back we had a very honest discussion with her owner that whilst Keyrs was progressing well with being restarted she is a very young, green active horse who will take a good year to really settle to ridden life as she would like her, therefore she part exchanged her for another horse, more suitable to her lifestyle and riding confidence.

We think she is fab, she has all the bravado of a Welsh, is a powerful, active and attractive model and is proving trainable.

We believe she will be a fabulous all-rounder in time and excel in all RC areas, maybe working hunter will be her bag!

She needs a competent, knowledgeable home who understand the breed, and can competently educate just backed horses.

She is hacking well and has had a walk, trot and canter in the arena. Last week she did a couple of rears but rode on through this, she is a young horse with a big heart and even bigger personality so needs arson to match this.

Genuine enquiries please. She will carry to her education and hopefully join a fun ride or two in Autumn.

Genuine Allrounder gelding by Touch of the Emperor

  • Easy to do in every way possible!

  • Easy to do in every way possible!

Finn is a super attractive, quality Irish Sport Horse with a kind nature, correct conformation and a genuine desire to please. Standing out for both his looks and temperament, he is the sort that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Traditionally bred, Finn combines the best of Irish and Thoroughbred bloodlines. He is by the Irish Draught stallion Touch of the Emperor, a sire renowned for producing athletic, sensible horses with excellent rideability, substance and versatility. Out of a Thoroughbred mare by the exceptional Dylan Thomas, a multiple Group 1-winning racehorse whose progeny are known for their stamina, toughness and athleticism. This proven combination of Irish Draught and Thoroughbred blood has long been the recipe for producing outstanding all-round sport horses, and Finn is no exception.

A true all-rounder, Finn has enjoyed a varied education and has taken everything in his stride. He has competed at unaffiliated events, including hunter trials, and is confidently jumping courses around 90cm with plenty of ability and scope to progress. He has also attended stay-away camps where he quickly became a firm favourite thanks to his easy-going nature and willingness to get involved in whatever was asked of him.

On the flat, Finn works in three balanced, rhythmical paces and is a horse who genuinely enjoys learning. He is intelligent, trainable and always tries his best for his rider. He recently produced a respectable 66% at Prelim dressage, demonstrating his willingness and natural rideability.

Finn possesses all the attributes required to make a very enjoyable grassroots event horse. He is bold and straightforward cross-country, jumps coloured fences confidently, has plenty of ground cover and remains focused and rideable on the flat.

To hack, he is a pleasure. He is sensible in open spaces, has seen a small variety of light traffic (would need more exposure to be 100%) and is not the type to spook at shadows or create unnecessary drama. He will happily lead or follow and is an enjoyable horse to have out and about.

Finn is one of those horses that is incredibly easy to like. Whilst he may not be destined for international competition, he offers something far more valuable to many riders — a genuine, honest and versatile horse who will throw himself into any job asked of him. Whether your ambitions lie in riding club activities, camps, low-level eventing, hunting, dressage, showjumping or simply enjoying days out with friends, Finn will always turn up with a willing attitude and a smile on his face.

A much-loved horse with a genuine reason for sale, offered on behalf of a client.

Serious enquiries only. No silly offers.

She has a 5th gear to die for when asked, she will love jumping both coloured and rustic fences, she is bold, athletic and careful she would compete in showjumping, cross country, working hunter, hunting, the great thing about Fern is that she has the ability to excel in any discipline while remaining calm and unfazed, she is being completely wasted in a riding school as she has so much potential.

she has been driven prior to us getting her both Single, Pair: harnessed side-by-side to a carriage and team in agricultural, draught, two heavy horses working together.

Fern is currently working 4 days a week in a professional riding school environment, she has excelled with every level of rider from competent novices to advanced, group and private lessons,both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

She would be ideal for hunting. She will stand and wait calmly within large crowds and open spaces and remains completely unfazed by loud noises or horses running around her. She does not fizz up, spook or spin.

Fern 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.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible.

Fern has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she’s 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.

Fern has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness. She is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. She is excellent to catch, great to load and travel, good with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

She is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. She can have weeks 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 annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Fern is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you are a novice rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Fern 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.

This is a heartbreaking sale.
