7yo 15hh Welsh Cob Gelding Located in Blewbury, Oxfordshire

Bailey is a smart, well produced Welsh cob who has been brought on steadily and has enjoyed his work. He schools nicely, hacks out alone & in company and has a calm willing attitude.

He has attended arena hires, low-level XC training and home show-jumping competitions, where he has won several of his rounds. Bailey is a brave, neat jumper who confidently jumps around 80-90cm, and has popped up to 1.10m with ease. He enjoys his job and is ready to continue progressing with his next rider.

Bailey would make a fantastic, smart all-round type for someone wanting a genuine horse to enjoy — whether for pleasure, fun rides, low-level competing or clinics. He's not a riding school type and deserves a knowledgeable, individual home where he'll be part of the family.

Good to catch, load, shoe and handle.

Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, and farrier. Fit, healthy, and ready for his next chapter.

  • A big, kind, easy going youngster.
Patrick is a genuinely unspoilt, rising 4 year old gelding with a wonderful temperament. He is a true “dope on a rope” to lead and handle, and a pleasure to have on the yard. He is currently measuring at 15.3hh and has 10.5” of bone.

He happily lives in or out, and turns out sensibly with both mares and geldings. Patrick has loaded and travelled on a wagon several times without issue, and has been walked out in traffic and seen farm machinery.

Patrick is unbroken, ready for someone to produce their own way. He has a willing nature and steady outlook on life. With his temperament, he could excel as a future allrounder, safe hack, hunter, or even a therapy/RDA type with the right training. He’s a total blank canvas ready for someone to bring out his full potential.

A super friendly, easy going cob who will be a lovely project for someone wanting a genuine youngster with a bright future ahead. Cobs of this size, stamp and nature are increasingly hard to find. Patrick combines height, bone and presence with an exceptionally kind, easy going outlook.

Photos don’t quite capture him, and you’ll need to look past the winter woollies, but he’s going to mature into a seriously smart cob.

The lovely Tally is looking for her new home after a very short and unsuccessful racing career.

Tally is very easy to do in all ways and is a lovely horse to have around. She has a lovely and kind temperament and loves a bit of attention.

Finished racing sound and healthy. She’s had some downtime and is now ready to get cracking with a job. She's a straightforward ride, has good paces and will make a nice all-rounder. She’s just come in from the field and had a little walk and trot under saddle, and she was quite happy. Tally hasn’t done any schooling, show jumping or XC - she is very much a project.

Injury and vice-free. She does have a couple of small sarcoids, none that would interfere with tack.

Good to load and travel, good with the farrier and vet.

Looking for an experienced home that will give her lots of time and love. She wouldn’t suit a novice due to being a young ex-racehorse. Has been led out from another horse recently to start coming back into work. Available from the field due to not being in full work. Please, no timewasters.

Bruno is a fantastic small horse who truly does it all — safe enough for a child, yet talented and competitive enough for an adult.

He has experience across all disciplines, from dressage to hunting, and behaves impeccably in every situation. Wherever he goes, he turns heads with his presence and manners.

Bruno works in a correct, rhythmical way and is schooling towards Elementary/Medium level with lovely balance and self-carriage.

A pleasure to hack both alone and in company. He canters out sensibly in open spaces and is unphased by traffic, although we are based in a quiet village.

An absolute dream to hunt. He was ridden by a teenage girl and behaved impeccably throughout, standing quietly and enjoying the day.

Excellent to load, shoe, clip, catch and handle. A genuine, easy horse to have around the yard.

Bruno is a rare find – a kind, talented and versatile horse who would suit a wide range of riders.

BEAUTIFUL AND RELIABLE ALLROUNDER


Ref #: 399816
  • A lovely all round mare who will give someone years of fun
  • Amazing attitude and enjoys a variety of work
  • Snaffle mouthed at all times
£7,500 OVNO

  • Mare
  • 12 years

  • A lovely all round mare who will give someone years of fun
  • Amazing attitude and enjoys a variety of work
  • Snaffle mouthed at all times
Scarlett is a much-loved, 15.1hh 2013 bay mare who has been with us for 10 years. Only for sale as I have two young children and I can no longer give her the time and dedication she deserves. She has been the most enjoyable horse to own and is now seeking a new home where someone can enjoy her as much as we have.

Currently shared between myself and my mum, Scarlett was bought as an unhandled/unbroken project horse in 2016, and has been slowly and carefully produced by us. She has been our family horse and has been used mostly for leisure, flatwork and hacking.

She is a smart, trainable, and honest mare with a genuine desire to please.

She’s well-schooled and works in a soft, consistent outline with 3 established and balanced paces. She would do a lovely test for someone who enjoys dressage.

Snaffle-mouthed, light in the hand, and forward-thinking without being strong.

Scarlett is not a novice ride and requires a quiet and confident rider. She is intelligent and responsive but can be sensitive, so can look to her rider for reassurance. She has real potential to progress further in her training with someone who wants to step her up a level, in a knowledgeable and experienced home.

She has all the ability and attitude to succeed in the right hands. She’s done limited jumping with us and is still green, but has taken to it enthusiastically. Always been sensible when jumped - in capable hands I think she would enjoy doing more of this.

Scarlett is good to lunge and long-rein.

She hacks alone or in company, and is used to moderate traffic including buses and trams.

She is stabled on a working farm with tractors, cows and sheep etc.

She has done farm rides and some clinics — always well-behaved. Safe and sensible to ride in open spaces with a calm, confident rider. Scarlett is happiest in a consistent routine and thrives with regular work. She is not suited to life as a field ornament and is best suited to someone who wants to ride regularly.

Good to shoe, clip, bath, and handle — she is polite in and out of the stable. Loads and travels well (only travelled in a lorry so far). Not suitable for turnout with or next to geldings. Can be turned out alone or with other mares. Currently turned out during the day in summer in a private paddock, and stabled over winter.

Up to date with vaccinations and teeth, and saddler and physio both kept on a regular 6-month checkup. She’s fit, sound, and in regular work, with no vices and her full history known. Ready to go and be enjoyed! She had a single sarcoid removed in September 2024 (inside of her nearside hind leg), which healed without complication. No other sarcoid history and never sick or sorry.

This is an incredibly sad and difficult decision. We are looking for a 5* home where she’ll be truly loved. Genuine enquiries only, please — I would love to stay in touch and follow her journey.

16.2hh
Shire Cross
Chunky Weight Carrier
Jet Black, 6yrs, mare

Astrid is a stunning Jet black Shire Cross with a big heart and a loving sole currently working in a riding school by intermediate level and above riders, although still green in the school, she is a genuine blank canvas with a lovely, willing and trainable nature. She is beginning to understand his flatwork, canters on the correct leg, and is learning to maintain balance and straightness. She is confident over poles and small obstacles and always tries her best; never sharp, spooky or silly, simply straightforward and eager to learn. With a more competent rider, she will work into a soft outline and is already showing promising development in suppleness, balance and responsiveness to the leg, including the early stages of lateral work.

She is wonderfully safe and sensible, naturally more whoa than go. If a rider loses balance or stirrups, she will quietly come back to walk without being asked, making him incredibly forgiving and confidence-building for riders with less knowledge.

She has a big, genuine heart and learns quickly. Despite not having done extensive arena work, she puts his heart and soul into everything asked of her. Her slow and steady outlook on life, paired with her calm, unflappable temperament, means nothing much phases her.

Her experience has been primarily trekking and hacking, and this is where she truly shines. She will happily plod along on a loose rein and look after his rider in any environment, making her a super kind, uncomplicated type for someone who wants to put their own stamp on a genuine, honest horse. She is most definitely a sturdy sure footed mare with a leg in each corner.

She does not fizz up, spook, shy, rush, pull or behave in a silly manner. Her chilled, steady temperament remains the same wherever she goes.

Astrid hacks in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eyelid, waiting politely at junctions without moving, staying rock-solid as lorries, buses, tractors, trailers, motorbikes and farm machinery pass closely by. Open fields are no problem either; she has impeccable manners in open spaces and has cantered and gently galloped on grass verges beside busy roads. In a group, she is happy leading, in the middle or at the back, never pulling or trying to overtake if anything, she sometimes needs reminding to keep up!

She also hacks out alone with complete confidence and a mature, ladylike attitude. Absolutely nothing seems to faze her, making her an ideal partner for someone wanting a reliable, safe and genuine horse who will give confidence and enjoy life at a steady pace.

Astrid can be ridden every now and again and have the same chilled out attitude as when ridden daily.

She is excellent catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, farrier, dentist, vet.

She absolutely loves to be pampered, she will stand all day without a head collar and lead rope whilst being groomed, bathed, cuddled and fussed over.
She stands quite happily in her stable eating her hay with the door open, never attempting to walk out unless asked.

She gets lead, caught and handled by the smallest of children, she is quite happy being dragged around the yard on the end of a lead rope.

She will stand at a mounting block without moving until mounted, regardless of how long it takes.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

She is currently stabled during the day and out at night within a mixed herd, she is equally happy to be stabled or turned out full time, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite being out with 30 other horses.
She isn’t clingy or marish in any way and is happy being stable and or turned out solo.

Astid will give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily compete at riding club level, fun/beach rides.

She can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance, she maintains her weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
She has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch or sarcoids.

In the whole time I have her I can honestly say she has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, she has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer.

Astrid is being sold on behalf of my son as a private sale

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around about every few years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again.

We have other horses and ponies available for viewings.
