Otto is a 5 yo appaloosa bought as a project for my daughter in 2024. A full up 15.3hh / small 16hh.

We bought him from the breeder as an unbacked 3yo, his education started in Wales at a professional breaking yard for a year where he was very slowly backed / turned away /brought back into work. He was hacked daily and flourished in this routine. We brought him to us in April 2026 and continued his education in full livery, incorporating schooling and other disciplines. He is green and still needs to progress but has all the ingredients to be a nice horse.

His education was interrupted when he split his nose on a nail(!) and had to have two months out. He was in significant pain and proceeded to remain calm and gentle, even when the vets had to stitch him up / remove stitches with only sedation. This interruption meant that his education has slowed but we have recently picked it back up with 3 x PW groundwork and light schooling.

He is very capable, we just don't have the time or capacity to continue with it due to personal circumstances. He is an extremely quick learner and has taken to his ground work very quickly - he enjoys learning.

- Loads and travels well but needs to build muscle to enable more balance.

- Attended pole clinics and rallies.

- Excellent to catch and on ground.

- Good with farrier - barefoot and his feet are great.

- Up to date on all injections etc.

- Lovely temperament and loves people.

- Full pedigree available.

He has been really loved and cared for with us - we have taken it slowly as he is too good to rush BUT he really deserves to be loved and utilised more.

He will suit a loving home where he can be enjoyed and loved. I am not looking to sell him to somewhere that he will be raced into the ground, he needs a confident and experienced owner who can continue his journey.

He does have a medical condition which will be disclosed but does not effect his daily life nor his future, however, he will not pass a vetting due to it.

He is POA as home is of the utmost importance.

Full wardrobe / tack and rugs available on separate negotiation.

Videos and photos available on request.

Ashley (Ash) is an absolutely gorgeous 15.1h dapple grey 5 year old Connemara x warmblood mare. For sale on behalf of her owner.

Ash is one in a million who has so much class, quality and potential with the most amazing temperament to match. She is a very striking dapple grey and catches the eye where ever she goes. She is an ideal size for teens coming off ponies as well as smaller adults so would make a brilliant mother/ daughter share too. She is a very desirable type that will do lots of jobs. She has excellent conformation, is blemish free and has good feet (Nn for hoof wall). She flew through a 5 stage vetting in July which can come with her and she is open to another if wanted. She is the perfect alrounder who excels across all disciplines with a real “can do” attitude, she is lovely now but has so much more to come with a very exciting future ahead of her.

Ash works really nicely on the flat and has 3 super paces. She moves really nicely, flicks her toe and has a lot of scope to her paces. She works correctly between leg and hand into a soft outline. She is snaffle mouthed for everything. She is a good medium speed who is nicely forward going with good transitions but not sharp at all. She is a lovely straight forward ride who gives her rider a great feel. She is schooling lovely now but still has more to come as she strengthens up and matures. She has such a lovely attitude to her work and is a quick learner who always has a smile on her face and wants to please. She has so much potential to excel in dressage, she has been out to arena hires and clinics and is now ready to go to a competition and work her way through the levels.

Ash loves her jumping and makes a lovely shape over a fence. She nicely takes you into a fence and is very honest and genuine to jump. She doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. She is very bold and jumps all fillers first attempt confidently. She has been to several jumping arena hires and training clear rounds where she has shown lots of potential for all riding club competitions ect. She has been jumping around 80cm courses currently with potential to jump higher, but again hasn’t been rushed. She has also been attending pole work clinics which she loves. She is very good to ride at new places and has a very good attitude to her jumping. She has done a few small jumping competitions in Ireland with her previous owner and is now ready to crack on and go competing over here. She is equally as bold over xc jumps. She was very ridable and jumped everything asked of her in a sensible manner. She has done some areana eventing clear rounds where she was great fun. I can see her really excelling as a pony club/ riding club alrounder. She would even event as she is good at all 3 disciplines, so a lovely Cotswold cup contender.

Ash hacks alone and in company. She is good with traffic and is sensible in open spaces. She is confident to lead and also good in behind. She has also done some fun rides in her previous home in Ireland.

Ash has a superb kind friendly temperament. She loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend as she is so interactive and forms a really strong bond. She loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. She is a good to handle in all ways. She lives in and out and is happy turned out next to or in with other horses, she is very quiet in the field and gets on well with all horses and ponies. She is good to shoe, bath, catch, lead ect. She loads perfectly (single handed) and travels like a dream. She really is such a genuine honest horse who deserves the best of homes.

Ash would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies and adults alike. She would make a fabulous riding club/ pony club alrounder. As well as a lovely dressage and eventing prospect. Sadly for sale due to her teenage owner losing interest and prioritising her other hobbies. Her owner would very much like to keep in touch as she thinks a lot of Ash and it’s been a really hard decision to come to. Based in Ramsey Peterborough. 07460820294 £11,500

Rainbow was bred by a local farmer , she is out of a hunting mare who was very easy and kind and rainbow takes after her,

Rainbow was professionally backed as a 4yr old, rainbow was then purchased by current owner who has just been happy hacking , the odd time in the arena but not been over schooled or over worked so she’s a nice blank canvas for someone to put there own stamp on

Rainbow is good to catch, clip, bath, shoe , trim, travel, load, traffic

Hacks alone or in company , mainly hacked alone for the last 2 years.

Rainbow has some nice paces and with a bit of time could do a lovely dressage test, pops coloured poles and fillers not phased by them.

Rainbow has a very relaxed outlook on life and is never in a hurry to do anything so would suit someone wanting a happy hacker as well as someone wanting to take her for low level competitions.

Rainbow can be a bit grumpy to other horses if fed in the same feild , but if separate from them she’s fine, not at all marish for the humans to handle you wouldn’t know if she was in season or not so not your typical mare

She’s a chunky sort and a very good doer!!!

This is a very sad sale due to no fault of her own

15.3hh 12 year old mare seeking hacking / funride / farm ride home

15.3hh 12 year old ISH grey mare looking for a hacking / farm ride / funride home. Lovely kind mare who really enjoys getting out and about but doesn’t enjoy schooling / showjumping. She has in the past but she prefers the fun stuff.

Hacks alone (with a confident rider) can have a spook but carries on and is lovely and forward to ride. Can get quite excitable and jiggy when she thinks something is fun (funrides / group hacks etc) but never does anything more than that. Doesn’t buck or rear. I always feel completely safe on her.

Loves her XC jumping on funrides / farm rides but can put in a looky stop. 100% reliable if you’ve got a mate out with you that you can tuck in behind. Needs to go to someone who understands mares, she’s a complete character and a huge amount of fun but she is a typical moody mare on occasions and doesn’t really want a huge amount of fuss and cuddles. Good to catch / clip / shoe / happy to live in or out but would be unhappy with no daily turnout. Honest advert and the home is far more important than price. Sad sale as I’m giving up my own horses to concentrate on child’s ponies. Full history known I’ve owned her since 3 year old. Shropshire

Bertie ✨ 15.2hh, 16 year old, skewbald gelding

Bertie has been on my yard for the past five years and I have seen him be the biggest confidence giver to so many riders during that time. He has a heart of gold and a super temperament, he is scared of nothing, is never naughty, and offers the perfect balance of safe yet willing and off the leg.

He has been professionally schooled, but also loves to jump and hacks alone or in company, he really has done a bit of everything.

He is happy in or out and is great to shoe, clip, catch etc. Bertie is also super easy to handle and loves a fuss. He is fully up to date with wormer, vaccinations etc, has no known health issues and is only for sale due to a change in circumstances, he will only be sold to the very best of homes.

It is now time for Bertie to find his next person, to be loved and enjoyed for years to come, please message me for more info!

A true sweetheart with a big future ahead 💛

This lovely mare is an absolute pleasure to have around — easy to do in every way, no nonsense at all. She's good to shoe, clip, load and handle — straightforward and willing every time. She's a good doer, keeps her condition well, and settles happily in or out.

Under saddle:

Hacking is her absolute favourite — she's wonderful out and about, confident and sensible. She loves her jumping too — very careful, bold, and completely honest. Still a little green and learning, but she tries her absolute best every single time and improves steadily. She's been doing great in her flatwork education and over fences — getting stronger and more capable every day.

She's already done fun rides, arena hire, and cross-country — proving to be brave, straightforward, and reliable. With the right person to bring her on, she has genuine potential to excel as a hunter, cross-country horse, one-day eventer, or showjumper — she has the heart and the willingness to go far.

About her character:

She's a friendly, sociable soul who loves company — she really thrives when she has other horses around her. She can get a little stressed when kept on her own, so a home where she has equine companions would be ideal. Other than that, she's as near perfect as you could wish for — kind, willing, and eager to please.

Reason for sale:

Genuinely only for sale due to current yard set up and lack of time.

Sunny -15hh rising 4yo absolute sweet heart of a cob absolutely nothing bothers him in life. He has been the best therapy while I have been ill.

He was broken and ridden out on hacks in company up until mid September and he came home for his holidays, he is going through a growth spurt so unfortunetly doesn’t look the straightest but he was poker straight when I bought him at the start of summer so i do believe he just needs to level out again.

He will make a beautiful sweet heavyweight for any level of rider once he is back in work. He loads , catches , stands to be trimmed and groomed and is getting to grips with the farrier for trims.

PLEASE NOTE HE IS OUT OF WORK AND i do not have endless videos as they just at the start of their ridden journey.

A cob who loves a job!

Gary is a smart cob who thrives on work and is a lovely RC all rounder or hunter type. He is very much the type of cob who likes to have a job to do and is with us looking for his new home as his owner is working a busy London job and hasn’t got time to do as much with him as Gary would like. Current owner was only wanting a couple of days a week happy hacking and Gary previously has been in an active RC home where he did all RC activities and went hunting.

Gary is a quiet ride and the more work he’s in the steadier he is! He’s quite happy to do a bit of everything and enjoys his jumping. He’s more of a whoah than go ride so would be ideal for someone who wants to go off and do everything at local level but who probably isn’t up for a sharper sports horse.

He’s really good fun and has been well schooled on the flat ( wouldn’t be his favourite discipline but he gives it a go) and loves his jumping! Gary is a real trier and happy to go both SJ and XC, he’s very genuine to jump and pops round 80cm no bother.

He would love to go back to a home where he can continue going out and doing fun things.

Gary is excellent out hunting and has been out with us and also previously in his old home, he’s sensible at the meet, good round hounds and other horses and jumps everything asked of him. Smart cob who would safely take most riders out hunting.

At home on the yard he’s easy to handle, box, catch, shoe, clip etc. he’s happy living in or out and is a friendly person.

Seen at livery. Nearly brand new quality tack available by sep negotiation.

  • A genuine youngster who hasn’t been overproduced.

Smokey Joe is a lovely natured 3 year old Irish Cob gelding with a bright future ahead of him. Currently standing at 15.1hh with plenty of maturing and filling out left to do, he should develop into a super substantial and versatile cob. I expect he will mature to 15.2-15.3hh.

He has been given a kind, quiet start to his education and has been backed and ridden away, lightly hacking around our country lanes both alone and in company. He has seen traffic and farm machinery and has proved sensible for his age.

Smokey is a responsive ride with a nice attitude to his work. He is snaffle mouthed and has the makings of a lovely all rounder for someone to continue producing. He has seen dogs, sheep, cows and donkeys.

He is a pleasure to have around the yard, good to catch and happy to stand patiently tied up. He gets on well with other horses and turns out happily in a mixed herd. He is good for the farrier (currently barefoot) and stands to be groomed and fussed over. He loads well onto both a trailer and a horsebox.

Smokey has had a positive introduction to ridden life and hasn’t been over produced, he is very much a youngster who still needs time to mature physically and mentally. Ideally he would benefit from some time to grow and develop over the winter before continuing his education as a four year old.

He would suit someone experienced looking for a quality young cob to bring on, build a partnership with and put their own stamp on. He has a kind nature and willing attitude, and will make someone a lovely allrounder in the future.

Smokey is offered as a promising youngster who has been lightly started, ready for someone experienced to continue his education. He would not suit a novice or nervous rider at this stage as he is still learning.

He is up to date with the farrier, dentist and worming.

She has an impressive CV and has enjoyed a lovely variety of activities in her previous home. Just a few highlights include:

Numerous Pony Club Tetrathlon competitions, qualifying for the Pony Club Tetrathlon Championships in 2025.

Competed successfully showjumping up to 90cm.

Been out trail hunting / hound exercise with the Cheshire Hunt.

Enjoyed numerous fun rides and farm rides.

Wilma has been an absolute superstar during her time with us. She has beautiful flatwork, the most honest jump and is an absolute machine XC!

She hacks alone and in company and has taken even the heaviest traffic in her stride with us. In her previous home, she could occasionally be a little nappy hacking alone with her teenage rider, although we have experienced no issues with this ourselves.

She really has been a pleasure to have on the yard and has been wonderful to do absolutely everything with. A lovely mare with plenty of experience under her belt and so much to offer her next rider.

We would love to find Wilma a wonderful new home where she can continue to enjoy all the things she loves doing.

Based in Whitchurch, Shropshire

I have owned Miley since she was a yearling, and she was purchased directly from her breeder.

She is an easy, straightforward ride and would suit a variety of different riders. If you are looking for a flashy-looking but quiet and easy horse to do some dressage, sponsored rides, or all round activites she is your girl. She is a real confidence giver to ride, you can ride round the school on a loose rein or she will work nicely in a shape. She is easy off the leg, yet totally level.

Miley is incredibly brave and would also be a lovely, polite ladies hunter. She is fabulous to hack both on the roads and in open fields and bridlepaths.

She has a lot to give, and someone will have loads of fun with her. She really would be someone's 1 in a million if you can overlook her medical history.

Miley has a couple of small sarcoids. She also sustained an injury in the field as a youngster that required surgery. A trauma left her with a cyst-like structure in her pastern; unfortunately, during the surgery, a complication arose, and a small piece of the drill bit broke, and it was decided it was best to leave it in place. This was over 18 months ago now, and it in no way affects her. She is in full work, totally sound, and requires no maintenance. If either of these things bother you, please do not enquire. I totally accept this will not be for everyone, but I truly believe she will give someone so much enjoyment, she really loves her work and is loads of fun.

I'm looking for a lovely home for her where she can be loved and enjoyed, the best long-term home is of utmost importance to me.
