Absolutely stunning, registered haflinger yearling gelding. The absolute best of breeding! And you really can tell! Beautiful model, and really is going to be a stunning boy.

He is very well handled, friendly and just a pleasure to have around. He is up to date with his feet being trimed, vaccinated and wormed up to date. Standing at around 13.3h now so going to be a big boy!

I bought this lovely boy to bring on myself and put him out with my 2 yr olds whilst they grow. But unfortunately they just wont let him in to the herd with them and its not fair on him.

He is very straight and correct, no lumps, bumps or sarcoids. Moves beautifully and just has that look at me flashy look

Stables fine. Leads and walks to the field great. Has seen alsorts of farm machinery and traffic and is not phased in the slightest. He is a very brave boy and is going to make someone a cracking future prospect!

  • Ex-Showjumper
  • Companion / Light Hacking Home Only

Shaky (show name Shakin Stevens) is my 16.2hh Dutch Warmblood gelding and this is one of the hardest adverts l've ever had to write. He was my first horse. I knew nothing when I bought him, and he very patiently taught me so much. He is the type of horse that looks after you when you don't even realise you need looking after.

In his younger years, Shaky competed up to 1.40m, travelling and jumping across Portugal and Spain as a professional showjumper before I bought him as a 15-year-old to help build my confidence. He has truly been there, done it, and worn the T-shirt. In October 2024, he was referred to Liphook for investigation of bruising to his pedal bone. Given his previous career and findings, I made the decision to retire him fully from jumping and find him a life where he could just be happy.

He has now been turned away and living out for around 15 months and is completely comfortable in himself with no current health issues. He is barefoot on all four feet. Shaky does have shivers in his hind legs, which unfortunately means he is unable to have his back feet picked up. This has been managed by allowing him to keep his feet on the ground and it has never caused him pain or distress, but it is an important part of his care. He is an incredibly gentle soul. He would never bite or kick and is very easy in his nature.

He can be slightly head shy when first getting to know someone, but once he trusts you he becomes very affectionate and forms a strong bond. He is good to turn out with others and mixes well in a herd. Under saddle, he would now only be suitable for very light hacking (walk and trot only). In new environments he can occasionally be a little nappy, but it is never dangerous or nasty - he just needs a calm, reassuring rider and voice. Shaky means the world to me. He was my first horse, my teacher, and a huge part of my journey.

I am looking for a 5 star knowledgeable, loving, long-term companion home only where he will be genuinely cared for and understood. Home will be carefully vetted, and I would love to stay in touch and receive updates. Absolutely no jumping or schooling work.

  • Easy to handle & very sweet natured

Ollie is a lovely Thoroughbred gelding, searching for a kind and caring non-ridden companion home where he can truly flourish. Having originally come into Blue Cross care from the Irish Horse Welfare Trust, Ollie has shown himself to be a sweet-natured and adaptable horse who enjoys both human company and the companionship of other horses.

Currently living out 24/7, Ollie settles well into herd life and happily lives alongside both mares and geldings. He is equally content to part stable when needed and has proven to be an easy horse to manage in his day-to-day routine. Ollie is good to catch, lead, groom, travel, and handle for both the vet and farrier, making him a rewarding and enjoyable companion to care for. He especially enjoys quiet interaction and in-hand walks, where his calm and gentle personality really shines through.

Ollie would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a friendly horse to build a close bond with. He has a kind temperament, enjoys attention, and would thrive in a peaceful home where he can continue gaining confidence and enjoying a relaxed lifestyle. With his affectionate nature and easy-going attitude, Ollie has all the qualities to become a much-loved member of the family.

Vettings and viewings most welcomed
Door to Door Transport Available Weekly

Maggie is the kind of horse that reminds you why people fall in love with Thoroughbreds in the first place.

Standing at a lovely 16hh, she is a beautiful mare with a gentle nature and the sort of calm, kind temperament that makes you instantly feel at ease around her. She raced back in 2019 but has not been ridden since, simply because life took her in a different direction. Even then, she was always incredibly quiet and easy to deal with, and we believe she would be very straightforward to bring back into work for someone wanting a sensible, enjoyable horse to produce at their own pace.

She has absolutely no vices, lumps, or bumps and has spent her time since racing enjoying life and becoming a wonderful broodmare, producing two lovely foals. She has been a fantastic mother and would equally suit someone looking for a future breeding mare or a kind all-round family horse to love and enjoy.

What we adore most about Maggie is how versatile she is. She doesn’t feel like a “one job only” horse. She feels like the sort of mare that could slot beautifully into almost any home. Whether that’s a quiet family homestead, a hacking home, a smallholding, fun rides, happy days exploring the countryside, or simply being someone’s treasured best friend who gets endlessly spoiled with treats and attention.

We are in no rush whatsoever to move her on, and she is more than welcome to stay here living a peaceful and happy life with us forever. But we thought we would put some feelers out in the hope that there may be someone special looking for a mare exactly like her. A home where she’ll be fussed over, adored, taken on relaxed hacks, and truly become part of the family.

Horses like Maggie don’t need big flashy sales pitches. She’s simply honest, kind-hearted, and the type of mare that deserves a soft landing and a lovely future.

Stella is a super example of a first TB x heavy cob. Very correct and solid but with athleticism and a super movement.

She’s a very sweet girl who will make a wonderful family/riding club horse. I’m sure will turn her hoof to a bit of anything.

She has been with us since weaning at 6 months (now 4). Very well handled, loves a fuss, easy to manage around the yard.

Please note she is UNBACKED! She is a completely unstarted so a real blank canvas. She is ready to get going!

Please do not ask to see her lunge, loose school etc as we have not yet done this. She is a super horse, and her price reflects that she has not yet been started.

  • Reason for sale - retirement of owner/rider
  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved
Striking, unspooky and very easy, friendly 15.1hh black cob mare (born October 2020) with significant presence who has been out and about locally and on fun rides - ridden by all ages (64-12).

She has the potential to do a lot more in the right hands. She has been gently hacked out over the last 2 years and is reliable, sensible and safe. Owner is now looking to retire from riding and wants to see her fully optimised as the SWEET horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse she can become.


This little horse moves nicely and is happy to pop a log and is happy with trotting poles and cross poles but has had no formal programme of schooling. She is responsive and quick to learn. She can be hacked on the buckle end, is totally chilled in open spaces, never takes hold and is more whoa than go-go-go. She would be brilliant as a loving family horse and happy hacker with the potential to do low level dressage/ showing/xc .

We live on country lanes and she is good with the local traffic and farm machinery. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot & the guns do not worry her at all. I have never even noticed when she is in season - totally unmareish.


She is ready for a loving owner who will be consistent and who wants to teach her and/or learn with her. (Please note however that due solely to her age and size and my desire to see her progress she will NOT be sold to a total novice or unconfident rider/handler). She is bright and highly teachable - as such she will quickly become “that horse” that many riders want. I have not given her the consistency or next step of schooling and life experience she now is ready for. I would like to see her being brought on and taken out and about intelligently and kindly with a view to being her owner’s “life horse”. She has had a great and happy start here with groundwork, hacking and slow, steady and kind life experience. She is snaffle mouthed.


She has been clipped the last two winters. Barefoot with good hard feet although she was shod when I got her two years ago. She is good to load and easy to handle. She lives in or out – solo or company & is a good doer. (She has been predominantly with mares although her first summer here she shared a field with a gelding and was fine.) She respects electric fencing and does not eat the wood on post and rail fencing. She is unfazed being left on her own in the stable or when her friends leave her from the field and is always pleased to see you when you come to the gate either to say hello or take her in for a groom/ride. Never been sick or sorry.


No timewasters , purchase agreements or loans . 5* home only and, please, only people ready to commit as a swift sale is necessary owing to travel commitments. Please text for a chat and further information, pictures and videos.

Destiny - A straightforward, experienced Allrounder with a patient and forgiving disposition to suit an amateur or mother/daughter share

Destiny is a 15.1h, 4yo Class 1 purebred Connemara mare with lots of experience in a variety of disciplines

She has been competing in unregistered showjumping classes, and working hunter classes and proven herself very honest and calm on course in new places.

She has been hunting with the Galway blazers, done beach rides and road hacks with groups and stays cool in hectic environments.

She has been cross country schooling several times and remains unflappable to natural obstacles and water

She is not mareish in any way and gets along with other horses well

She always goes in a snaffle, will jump from any distance given, and does not get hot, sharp or strong before or after a fence. She is extremely uncomplicated to ride, and steady to ride around a course at a show. For this reason, we feel Destiny would best suit a mother/daughter share, or an adult amateur looking for a trustworthy riding club partner

Destiny is easy to catch, tie, shoe, load, plait, and hack out alone or in groups. She has no vices, lumps or bumps.

She is open to any vetting

16:2hh 13-Year-Old Sports Horse Gelding - Seeking a 5? Hacking Home

It is with a heavy heart that I am looking for a special new home for my much-loved 16.2hh, 13-year-old Sports Horse gelding, based in Warwickshire.

After a successful eventing career, he is now looking to step down from competition and enjoy a quieter life as a hacking horse. He has plenty to offer someone wanting a genuine, kind horse to enjoy hacking and low-key riding.

He has a lovely temperament, is a pleasure to have on the yard, and enjoys getting out and about. He would suit a knowledgeable rider looking for a quality horse to cherish rather than compete.

Finding the right home is my absolute priority. This is a very difficult decision, so a kind, experienced 5* home is essential. He deserves someone who will love him as much as I do and give him the quieter lifestyle he now needs.

Chilly Pepper Lovely 7-year-old 15.2hh Irish Sports Horse mare by Chillout. A very attractive, well put together type with lovely conformation, straight movement and excellent feet.

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.

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!

Fulwood Flamboyant (aka Tilly)

An Exceptional All-Rounder of Rare Quality, Proven Experience, and Absolute Integrity, is a superb example of a well-bred Irish Draught x Thoroughbred mare (King of Diamonds lineage), standing at 16.1hh and offering the kind of quality, temperament, and education that is increasingly difficult to find. This mare is ready to transition a serious young rider from ponies to horses, winning constantly along the way!"

At 16 years old, she is in her prime, a polished, experienced horse who has been thoughtfully and patiently produced, never overfaced or overworked. She represents the finished article: a genuine, confidence-giving partner with the ability to excel across disciplines.

With an established competition record including EGB, BSJA, and BRC, Tilly has proven herself time and again. She is a consistent performer, regularly finishing in the ribbons, comfortably jumping 90cm–1m, with bold, intelligent cross-country ability and correct, expressive flatwork established to Novice level, including lateral work and extensions.

What truly sets Tilly apart is her temperament. She is exceptionally genuine, a mare who instils confidence and allows her rider to perform at their best. She is straightforward, balanced, and beautifully rideable, with a naturally rhythmical canter and an instinctive ability to meet a fence correctly. She never stops, runs out,l or shys. She is never strong, yet offers presence, power, and responsiveness when asked.

She is not horse for a Novice rider as she is well schooled, she is kind to any rider and will look after a young person going onto horses.

She is equally exemplary in her handling. Impeccably mannered, with no vices whatsoever, she is easy in every respect, to catch, handle, travel, hack, and manage. She hacks alone or in company with complete reliability and remains composed in all environments. She is unflappable, level-headed, and entirely trustworthy.

Tilly has lived with me since she was six months old and has been produced with care, knowledge, and respect. Horses of this calibre, safe, sane, educated, and genuinely kind, are the result of years of investment, consistency, and horsemanship.

She would be ideally suited to a discerning amateur, riding club competitor, or a mother/daughter partnership seeking a safe yet capable horse who can deliver results while offering complete peace of mind.

This is an extremely reluctant sale due to my ongoing cancer treatment and as such, her future home is of the utmost importance and is more important than the price. I have two others and im finding it increasingly difficult to keep them fit especially with the winter a few months away, therefore she now needs to go onto someone who can get the joy and success out of her. REDUCED further for quick sale, not for any fault of hers.

She deserves a knowledgeable, appreciative owner and a kind, private environment with equine companionship.

Tilly is a complete, ready-made partner for someone who understand true quality, she represents exceptional value.

She can be viewed and ridden on the flat, also over showjumps and XC fences by appt at local Equestrian Centre.
However, serious enquiries only. No time wasters please.

N/N HWSD

An outstanding model of a Connemara.

We imported him last year as a late starter and have produced him along.

He has 3 correct paces and shows a good jump. More of a leg on type than a sharp one.

Has hunted and was mannerly in the field and sensible standing and jumped well.

Started competing at SJ and been placed. Although Green shows a useful jump and jumps fillers etc.

Competed at first dressage test where he was incredibly mannerly. Having never seen whiteboards he tried very hard. Is starting to work in a better frame.

Very bold XC jumped everything with style and showed plenty of quality and scope. Ditches, water, steps all no problem for this chap.

Will make a lovely WH/BE/BS prospect in time. Snaffle mouth.

Hacks alone and in company.

Upto date with teeth, physio, vaccinations.

Was vetted prior to import. No medical history.

Stunning looks and friendly on the ground.

Due to him being a late starter he isn’t for a novice rider as still requires schooling he is no Valegro yet! But is ridden and competed by children.

  • Professionally schooled and working well on the flat and over coloured poles.

This mare was imported 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'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'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 rider to take her forward and enjoy her. 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 11/12/24 This is available and open to any further vetting. She is priced to sell. Good home is essential. No loans.

Floss (Coedrhyd Libby) – 15hh, 12yo Registered Welsh Section D Mare

Breeding: Registered with WPCS. Sire: Pentrepoid Welsh Flyer | Dam: Aberconwy Victoria.

Super fun on a fun rides, rides a nice dressage test, dabbled in showing (untapped potential), and an absolute machine at hacking.

Hacks alone or in company (happily leads). She has incredible stamina and confidently tackles steep hills, bogs, stony tracks, sheep, cows, and barking dogs.

A truly genuine, sweet mare with a heart of gold. Like many Welshies, she can be spooky and sharp at times, but has zero malice. She just needs a confident, reassuring rider. Once she trusts you, she tries her absolute hardest. She's fast and fun, but can be spooky too!

Jumping: She is a dirty stopper. This stems purely from a lack of self-confidence rather than nastiness. She has potential to jump up to 60cm but just lacks the confidence!

An absolute saint to manage; happily lives out 24/7. Can easily change rugs/fly masks in the field without a headcollar.

Good to load if given 10 minutes to process without being rushed. Travels perfectly and quietly, even on long trips (up to 4 hours).

Up to date on everything. Barefoot (trimmed every 6 weeks, great to do). Perfect for the Vet; not needle shy. Physio and saddle fitter done every 3-6 months. Dentist; Done annually (requires sedation). Clipping she can be a bit fidgety but fine if you take your time (will not allow her head to be clipped).

Floss is a much-loved pride and joy, only being sold due to the owner traveling. She is the perfect partner for a confident rider wanting to enjoy fun rides, hacking and have a blast up the gallops!

We've just done a riding holiday in the Lake District where she was a legend, fully understood the assignment! Quiet as anything stood in the beer garden then razzed up the hills on a big group gallop!

Available at extra cost. Includes a GFS Monarch cob jump saddle (17', bought brand new last May).
