  • Exciting young horse with the best temperament
  • This special mare has all the presence, movement and power to go all the way in dressage.
  • Super sweet and easy with the most willing and trainable attitude.

I have been lucky enough to start this lovely horses education under saddle for her owner who has sadly now decided it’s time to find her a new long term 5* home.

Owned by her current owner since a weanling she is much loved so top homes only please.

She is a wonderful girl with all the attributes to be a top all rounder, she enjoys jumping and has jumped lots of different xc and show jumps without a second thought, she has been unaffiliated show jumping and enjoys that.

She is a super hack, I believe hacking is the best way to ride young horses away so she has done lots of hacking on her own and in company.

She has huge potential in dressage in particular, she is forward thinking without being strong or sharp, she has natural energy and expression in her movement and is keen to please. I wish I was in a position to take her on myself as she is going to be a lot of fun to train up the levels and extremely safe with it.

She has been out to an unaffiliated dressage show gaining high marks and lovely comments.

  • Hacks out safely
  • been SJ and XC schooling

Fun all rounder who will do all PC/ RC activities and enjoys her jumping, she will go on to make a super all rounder or fun hunter.

Gracie works sweetly in the school and although not built for dressage tries her best to please and is obedient to ride, she is nicely forward thinking and not strong. Grace really enjoys her jumping and will pop round a course of 70/80 SJ fences. She’s adores XC and is brave and bold, happy over all solid fences, ditches, water etc. very ,much point and shoot. Gracie would we think be a lot of fun to take out hunting as she has a sensible brain and happily grows another leg to get herself out of trouble!

Grace loves her hacking both alone and in company. She is happy to go first or last and is good in traffic.

Grace came to us with a mounting issue, we have done a lot of ground work with her and now have her sussed. She is now easy to get on and off in all situations at home and when away but any potential owners will need to be horse savvy, be prepared and happy to be shown how we have dealt with her. With continuation of our work she won’t be an issue but is a bit of a bossy mare in this respect and will try her luck from time to time so won’t suit a novice owner. She’s a real character to have on the yard, but never bites/kicks etc, I wouldn’t call her very mareish, easy in the field with others, good to catch, box, shoe etc just needs reminding of her manners from time to time!

Orla 14.3hh | 14-year-old Irish Sport Horse Mare

It is with great sadness that Orla is offered for sale. She is a much-loved horse, but due to college commitments she is no longer receiving the time and attention she deserves, this is the sole reason for sale.

Orla has straight, clean limbs and is a genuine, kind mare who would make an ideal teenager, all-rounder. Not a novice ride in arena.

She happily hacks out for hours, schools nicely in the arena, pops fences, enjoys cross-country schooling, and farm rides. Although she has not been competed, she shows great potential to excel in a competitive environment for the right rider.

A genuine schoolmaster
-Sane, sensible, and confidence-giving
-Happy jumping and hacking out
-Robust and easy to manage

  • To make 15.2hh

Apollo is a 3 year old 15hh (to make 15.2hh) Connie x gelding with the sweetest character.

We have started groundwork over the past month and is currently long lining and lunging with a bridle and roller. He has taken to it so well so far and I believe he will be super easy to back. The longer he stays with me the more I will be doing with him.

I really do think he will make a fantastic riding club/ event horse once he is backed or suitable for a confident teen who wants to bring something on and out their own stamp on.

Despite how highly I can speak of him, I would like to remind any prospective buyer that he is a young horse he still has a few baby moments here and there. Never anything dramatic but can be a little fidgety to tie up.

His breeding in unrecorded but I have been told his mum is a 15.2hh TB and dad is a Connie

Open to sensible offers to a good home.

ROCCO - 15HH 4 YEAR OLD GELDING, REGISTERED CONNEMARA

If you’re looking for a horse, you can literally bring it in out the field, put on the Horse box or trailer, and go for a nice day out knowing you’re going to have fun whether it’s hacking with friends or going cross country or going to the beach, then this is the boy for you.

This lovely boy has been in the same family since he was a youngster and is now looking for his next best friend and family. He absolutely means the world to his current family, who would love to stay in touch and follow his future progress.

Rocco has done a bit of everything with a teenage girl, including cross-country schooling, showjumping, pony club rallies, beach rides, hunt rides, hacking and general all-round riding. He is an extremely genuine and willing pony who always tries his heart out. Brave and bold over both showjumps and XC fences, he jumps the scariest fillers without a bother. Rocco is sensible and enjoyable on the flat and is willing and always wants to please.

We adore the way that he will happily leaves other Ponies and goes off by himself or if other ponies leave him, he’s absolutely fine, never naps to them.

He hacks out alone and in company and is a lovely, straightforward ride. Although still young, he is exceptionally well mannered with a fantastic attitude and a real kind temperament. He really is an absolute saint to have around and is the sort that will quickly become someone’s best friend. Do not be put off by his age he is extremely mature and ridiculously sensible for a youngster. We use him to take the older horses out as he is so well behaved.

A super smart all-rounder with a lovely future ahead of him. Very hard to fault and ready for a new family to go out and enjoy him.

Very smart 16.1hh Gelding by Native Ruler

  • A very versitile horse who would excell in numerous disciplines
  • Showjumped around 80/90cm with ease
  • Professionally schooled and easy to do

A super smart, quality gelding with a fabulous outlook and a very versatile profile – a horse that would suit a wide variety of ambitions and is equally appealing for grassroots eventing, riding club activities, hunting or an all-round competition home.

A full Thoroughbred, though very much not your typical fine or weak type. He has substance, presence and a quality sports horse look about him, often passing as more of a traditional sport horse model. Importantly he is not ROR eligible, having never been in race training.

Bred at Gatcombe Park before being purchased by his current owners as a two-year-old, with his full history known. His dam competed as an event mare, whilst his sire was noted for his jumping ability, and he certainly reflects those attributes in both his attitude and natural athleticism.

A very handsome gelding with an excellent way of going. He works in a correct rhythm with a purposeful walk, a balanced and forward-thinking trot and a naturally uphill canter that is easy to maintain. He gives a lovely feel under saddle and is an enjoyable, uncomplicated ride.

He has jumped around courses of 80/90cm and proves to be an incredibly genuine and forgiving type over a fence. He is very much a push-button ride, happily helping his rider out and taking a miss without becoming offended or sharp. He has all the foundations to continue producing in the right hands and would make a very smart grassroots event horse.

Out hacking he is reliable and well exposed. He hacks alone and in company, is sensible in traffic and has seen plenty of village life and general activity. He has also travelled away to clinics and arena hires, proving straightforward and easy to take out and about.

He has been ridden by a teenager, further highlighting his rideability and versatility across different riders.

On the ground he is a lovely horse to have around with a kind personality and easy nature. Good to clip, excellent in the stable and travels particularly well on a lorry. He is better on a lorry than a trailer. Good to trim and handle, though he does require a small amount of sedation for shoeing (not IV sedation).

A genuine, attractive and likeable horse with plenty still to offer and the attitude to excel in numerous spheres.

No silly offers.
Tack available.
International transport can be arranged.
