Sarah - 16.2h Blemish free mare with a gorgeous personality inside and out and just wants to be someone’s best friend.

She’s one for the whole family to enjoy and would suit a child transitioning to horses or maturer rider wanting something reliable and safe.

She would happily take a wobbly rider wanting to learn the ropes. Sarah is a snaffle mouth at all times and is never strong or fizzy and has excellent brakes. The type you can flap about on with no hands!

Sarah has been a confidence giving best friend to her previous owners one being for 5 years dressage training at home, hacking and competing and most recently being a reliable confidence giving best friend for the past 2.5 years. Full history known since she was 6.

Sarah is working elementary with a lovely walk to canter and leg yields etc. Sarah loves to jump and is a point and steer job who is honest and sorts her striding out for you. Unfazed by coloured/rustic fences.

She loves forest,beach and sponsored rides. Hacks alone or in company. She really isn’t your typical “spicy chestnut mare”

She’s unbelievably kind and affectionate and easy to do in all ways. A soft and safe character to work with the on the ground.

I really cannot emphasise how safe Sarah is. Perfect for a novice, equally would be a really asset to a riding school or tracking centre but she has always been in 1-1 loving private homes and we would like this again for her. She is absolutely anyone’s ride.
She has plenty left in the tank so please don’t let her age bother you. If you’re after a loving, genuine safe bet to love and adore this is your lady.

Lola is a rising 4yr old (2022) 16hh approx full Irish draught mare with all class 1 breeding. She is by Gweebarras Dreamtime Star out of a mare by Carrabawn Cross. A stunning horse with real presence.

Lola is a firm yard favourite. She came to us around 3 months ago , we broke her ourselves and she has been a pleasure to do in every way.

She is riding very well now for her age and is always eager to please. Hacking confidently alone and in company , and has the baics established in the arena. She is super in traffic and open spaces.

Lola has super uphill , naturally balanced paces. She could do very well in the white boards or the show ring. I really do feel the world is her oyster. She has potential to go on and do any job.

Lola has been out for a half day trail hunting with us , which she took in her stride and thoroughly enjoyed. She enjoyed being around the hounds , stood well at the meet and was an enjoyable ride.

Lola is easy to do in every way , she has been shod in front and clipped with no issues. Good to load , travel , mount , catch etc ! She is super friendly and has a great character, we really do love having her around!

We feel Lola will truly be someone’s best friend , and go on and do any job her next owner wishes.

Lola is straight moving , has great conformation and is correct in all ways. No lumps , bumps or vices.

Please no novice or nervous riders , she is still a young horse and has endless potential.

Due to me currently having a broken leg I would offer a trial period as we have limited time for viewings.

Gorgeous homebred 16.1 chestnut mare. By DiMaggio out of a Carabas/Wolkenstein ii mare.

A mare with a great character and expression. She knows what she likes and knows what she doesn’t (clipping).

Lovely comfortable ride. Easy lateral work. Three impressive Balanced paces, incredible extended trot. Has previously had some in hand work, and shown super ability to p and p.

Competed successfully upto advanced medium, with excellent percentages. She has the potential to keep going up the ladder, be a school mistress for the lower levels, or be a great children on horses type. She is great to hack alone or in company too

Easy to take to a show and do yourself, I’ve always done that with her.

Non spooky type at shows.

Good doer, no vices. Lives in or out.

Sad sale. More homebreds up and coming

Stevie is a phenomenal event prospect for someone looking for a talented young horse to produce further.

Stevie is established on the flat scoring a 27 in his first test on grass. He has won at pure dressage and is now training at elementary. He moves fantastically.

He has jumped dc’s at BN, with plenty of scope under him. He gives a brilliant feel over a fence and is bold at fillers etc. He has been Xc schooling and done a hunter trial.

He hacks alone or in company. Will stand on the lorry on his own all day whilst his friends are jumping, I’ve never heard from him travelling. Has been brilliant to clip and shoe. No vices, up to date with vaccines/teeth etc. He really is just a lovely person.

He was bought direct from breeder and we think a lot of him. He is good enough for a pro to produce but will also make a confident amateur a cracking horse.

Easy to manage, he lives out happily in a herd or is equally content stabled. He has occasionally shown light cribbing around mealtimes, but this has been minimal.

He passed a full 5-stage vetting when we purchased him six months ago. Only for sale due to personal circumstances; absolutely no fault of his own.

Stunning 16.1hh 16 yo homebred gelding. Sire Country Top Dollor, dam Miss Matilda (Connemara x Welsh).

Writing this advert might break my heart……

Mr Music is homebred, he has a sensible outlook on life, incredibly correct way of going and has been my best friend.
He has three rhythmic and powerful paces. An absolute dressage schoolmaster, having competed consistantly up to BD Elementary, placed everytime at Regional Championships and placed at BD Nationals. He has 505 BD points.

He has previously evented, won numerous times at BE100 and placed top ten at Badminton Grassroots Championships.

We ve done everything together WonBE Arena Eventing National Championships, WHs, done clinics and even gone to the beach.

He hacks out alone or in company, sensible in traffic.

In recent years competitively he has focused on Bd and has achieved success after success.

I know him inside and out, he is such an easy horse to have at home or away at a competition.
His is very sensibly priced and he will only to a 5*home where he can give someone so much experience.
Full vetinerary history open to discuss and very sensibly priced in reflection of this. He is fit and well.
The home is the priority to me over the price. Please call only.

Buddy is one of the nicest young horses I’ve had the pleasure to break. He’s a 16.1hh, 4yr old, 1/4 Percheron x 3/4 TB gelding who’s typically an old head on young shoulders, like he’s been here before!

He’s been broken this summer, he’s 3 lovely paces, easy forwards ride, no kick along he’s nicely in front of the leg. He hacks out in traffic no bother, used to tractors and is schooling well in the arena, walk, trot and canter on both reins.

He’s popped a jump on the lunge with no issue at all showing he has great technique.

He’s ready to go out and give someone loads of fun. Pops a jump on the lunge and makes a lively shape, quick with his legs and doesn’t like to touch a pole. Really easy brain on him, decided to clip him for his first event, Halloween dressage and he didn’t even flinch at being clipped. Won his intro dressage with +69%

Good to load trailer or lorry, good with the farrier, no vices.

Very easy, genuine boy looking for his next loving home.
