Flex
Approx 15.1hh, 6yo, gelding. Believed to be Connemara x Irish Draught (breeding unrecorded).

Flex came to me 7 weeks ago to be restarted and I am now helping his owner find him a suitable new home.

A little background on him.
His current owner, Jodi, purchased him in July 2025 from a lady who had owned him since he was a 2yo. He was broken in by her and mainly used for hacking. Jodi had him 2 stage vetted at the time of purchase, which he passed with no issues.

Shortly after arriving home he did some schooling and hacking, however in October 2025 he became difficult and did rear when asked to hack alone. In November 2025 he went to the vets to be scoped where ulcers were found, and he was also diagnosed with acute RH PSD believed to have happened in the field. He was treated for the ulcers, had shockwave therapy, and had 8 weeks small paddock turnout.

He was rescoped on 13th January 2026 and confirmed clear of ulcers. The vets also confirmed he was sound and advised that he could be restarted.

Flex arrived with me on 14th January 2026 where I completely restarted him. I began with groundwork, progressing to long reining around the whole farm. He proved extremely brave and not spooky. Over the following 6 weeks he progressed to walk, trot and canter in the arena under saddle, worked over pole exercises which he really enjoyed, and was hacking out alone nicely. During this time he seemed a much happier horse. Jodi came to ride him weekly with me in the school and hacking alone and he was good for her each time.

After the 6 weeks he returned home but sadly reverted back to his previous behaviour and reared while hacking alone with Jodi. Because of this he has come back to me so we can hopefully find him the right home, rather than him being sold through a dealer without his full history being known and potentially ending up in the wrong hands and being passed around.

He has now been back with me for 10 days. He was unsettled for the first few days but is now back to the happy Flex I know.

I genuinely believe he is a lovely horse and could make a lovely project for someone experienced who has the time and patience to continue his education. He has a very loving personality and is easy to handle and have around.

If you wanted to hack in company all the time you would likely have no issues as he is foot perfect and not phased by machinery or road traffic. However if you wanted to hack alone you will need to be confident and prepared to work through any potential sticky moments.

He hasn’t reared with me. We’ve had two moments over the 7 weeks where he thought about it but he never actually did. I’ve only ever had positive experiences with him, videos below are us hacking alone recently around our village and out in fields. I have lots of long videos of Flex whilst he’s been with me so I can send them on WhatsApp.

He is up to date with teeth, physio, saddle checks, farrier, vaccinations and has wanted for nothing in his current home.. his owner is happy to speak to anyone interested.

£4,000 including saddle which has recently been fitted.
However open to offers as the home is more important, we’d rather see him happy in a home then being passed around.

Not my usual type of advert but I’ve spent a lot of time with Flex and I do believe he has the potential to be a lovely horse for someone and I really want to try and help him out and see him succeed in the future.

Lovely Irish Sports Mare For Sale – Annie

Annie is a beautiful 8-year-old Irish Sports Mare with a kind, genuine nature and a lovely temperament. She is a pleasure to have around the yard and is easy to handle in every way.

She works nicely on the flat and has a bold, willing jump, making her a fun and capable ride. Annie enjoys her work and always tries her best, making her suitable for someone looking for a genuine horse to enjoy.

She is good to catch, groom, tack up, load and travel, and is well-mannered both in and out of the stable. Annie is also good to shoe and clip. Annie is a sweet mare who loves attention and is easy to deal with day-to-day.

We bought Annie when our daughter Lois moved on from her first pony. As Annie is a more talented and capable horse, Lois found it difficult to build her confidence and therefore hasn’t been able to enjoy her as much as we had hoped.

Sadly, this is the reason Annie is looking for a new home where she can continue to be loved and enjoyed.

We are keen for her to go to a kind, knowledgeable home.

Please message for more information, photos or videos.

  • A very smart mare who is looking for her next home
  • Has done arena eventing, show jumping and local dressage
  • Hacks alone and in company, and is great with all forms of traffic

I have had Dora since she was 5yrs old at a busy yard:

- She hacks alone and in company, and is great with all forms of traffic, farm machinery, sheep, pigs and cows.
- She has done arena eventing and show jumping.
- She is good to load and travels well to outside arenas (alone and with other horses).
- She has done local dressage events arranged by the yard, with her scores rising each time into the 70s.

She has 3 lovely paces and is balanced to ride. She is great to clip, shoe, catch, load and travel. She is good with the farrier, dentist, saddler, physio and vet (although new people with have to introduce themselves!)

She is a social horse and enjoys the company of other horses - having been in a herd and in a busy stable block she wouldn’t settle well in an isolated stable.

No vices. Always ridden in a snaffle. Up to date with all vaccinations, dentist etc.

Dora is a fab horse and will make someone a great allrounder - she has the ability, athleticism, and talent to suit someone who can give her the confidence which sadly I sometimes lack - this is the only reason for what is a sad sale.

The right home is the most important factor in this sale.

Open to full vetting.

Ready For Viewing Fred SN16 9DP
15hh, 18yr old Irish Cob with lots left to give
Fred is a lovely laid back chap, looking for his new home.
He is a lovely stamp of a horse, a leg in each corner. The type you sit on and never want to get off. He loves to stop and have a chat. He can have a month off and then you can get back on like he was ridden yesterday, easily picked up and put down when life gets busy, or the weather is horrid !

Fred would suit a confident novice. Or someone looking for the quieter life, He is a cob so can have his little stubborn moments (as in he stands still!) when he feels he wants a tea break, so does needs someone with legs that is happy to give him a kick occasionally. He doesn’t take much convincing.

Fred is good in the heaviest traffic out hacking, never bothered by any other horse’s behaviour, great in open spaces,
He does not hack alone. He is happy with one other or a whole group! He will go infront , but will also very happily go behind.

Fred will happily live in or out, with mares or geldings,
He is a big soppy boy on the ground. Easy to handle, good to clip all over body and around head, although he has ticklish legs so does need low vibration clippers or a touch of tube sedation,

Fred is up to date with vaccinations. farrier, dentist and physio.

He does prefer to see company when stabled and in the field, so he wouldn’t suit a solo yard. He gets a little anxious if left alone.
Fred loves to hack and this is where his heart really lies, although he will go in the arena and does enjoy going over the odd pole and small jump , but not too regularly at the minute as he isn’t overly fit.

Fred is an ex riding school horse, so very chilled with different riders. He is more whoa than go, but will happily go with the right persuasion.

Fred will come ready to go, with tack (saddle girth bridle breastplate )

Izzy is a part bred Welsh mare who has been in the same home with us for the past nine years. She is a really nice natured mare and loves to please. Clean limbed, very attractive mare with showing bloodlines. She has done all round activities with me including unaffiliated dressage (typically scores 65-75%) show jumping and cross country (BE80 tracks). Dressage judges love her.

She enjoys pleasure rides, prefers to hack in company but I have hacked her alone since I've had her. We have off road hacking so I can’t comment on what she would be like in traffic. She is good to shoe, clip and catch. For travelling she is better loading onto a lorry than a trailer but will load onto a trailer with a training halter (she has always travelled in a trailer with me). She travels well on both.

Genuine reason for sale. She is better with unrestricted turn out and shelter and for this reason I won't sell her to a home with limited turn out. She is currently coming back in to work after a winter break. She is a kind mare but not for absolute novices. Happy to discuss her veterinary history. She does not need any routine medication or veterinary input.

Izzy would suit a home for general all round activities, hacking, and veteran showing. Homes will be checked for suitability and good home is more important than price. Price to include some rugs and tack is available by separate negotiation. Based near Thetford Forest.

Noodle has been in same home for the last 9 years. This is a very reluctant sale as he has been a big part off the family.

Noodle is happy to go first or last, hacks out most days on his own passing trains, tractors and the usual heavy traffic. He enjoys fun rides, lower level showjumping, clinics/lessons.

Noodle is a genuine all round type with no vices or quirks. Ridden by all the family ages 7-14yrs.

Good to catch, clip, box etc and is shod all round. Noodle does have a slight shiver behind which does not affect him in anyway.( my children pick up his feet) farrier has no issues. Clean vet history report, Fully vaccinated and up to date with everything!

He is clipped out and fit, ready for some Summer fun!

Rizzo is a smart 16.1 Irish sports 6yo black mare. A kind and genuine mare, that’s polite and well mannered. She would benefit from an experienced understanding home.

Rizzo rides well on the flat, has 3 balanced paces with an expressive step and is also established in her changes.

Jumping she is bold brave and honest, a forward take you to the fence ride, jumping anything put in front of her, unfazed but coloured or rustic fences, water, steps brushes etc.

Loves to hack and will go for miles on her own or in company, good in traffic and open spaces. Is good to bath, catch, load and travel etc.

Rizzo is being sold as a project for a fraction of her price due to the following reasons. She has been seen to weave when the yard gets busy, however once she knows her routine settles well. When we first got her she was impatient when mounting but this has improved massively but would need to be continued in new home. She is also still shy of the farrier but this has been improving with time and a sympathetic hand, we however can pick up all 4 feet without a problem.

Completely honest ad as we want Rizzo to go to the perfect home where she can continue her education and gain more confidence with life where she will become the horse we know she has the potential to be. Home is more important than price so open to offers!

Fabulous Fred - Smart, solid and full of quality, this stunning 15.1h 6-year-old maxi cob gelding is an absolute head-turner with excellent bone, feather and a kind, expressive face.

He has a lovely, genuine temperament and is a pleasure to handle in every way. Easy to catch, shoe, box and clip. Good to do both on the yard and out and about.

Riding nicely on the flat with three balanced, comfortable flashy paces. He has the scope and attitude to turn his hoof to a variety of disciplines, making him an ideal all-rounder or fun family horse. He would excel in the show ring, in my opinion has the potential to be a HOYS / top end show cob! Equally he’s a fabulous riding club activities or as a quality leisure horse as well.

Clean-limbed, open to vetting, and ready to find a loving home.

Fred has done loads of unaffiliated showing and is always a big hit with the judges, he’s also competed dressage and unaffiliated showjumping and has been super successful at these too.

Hacking he is better in company as he’s a little nervous of big traffic coming up behind him which is the only reason for sale as current own just wants to hack

Incredibly Sad sale, He’s been in the same home since he was 6 months old

A genuine, quality show cob who is a pleasure to have around. 10* home is a must for fabulous Fred

I have know him since birth and owned him until he was 7 I broke him in. He is a lovely chap lovely temperament and always willing to please.

We have hunted him he was good on the field stood at the meet good with the hounds and jumps everything. He has been around a course of fences nothing phases him like fillers or anything has 3 lovely paces . Currently being ridden by a 15yr old girl .

In his current home for the last 3 years he has been on a farm so used to all animals and machinery hacks out alone or in company first or last.

I think he would prefer a active home doing a bit of everything. He is low mileage for his age so would suit more a confident experience rider.

Red Velvet - Meet ‘Big Red’ - An extremely classy , show stopping 18.1hh, 11yo warmblood mare

No lumps or bumps nor vices
Very well related with talent and class all through the bloodlines on both sides!

Red is a well put together model with everything going for her! There is so much to love about her but I’ll try and keep this as short and sweet as I can.

She is the least chestnut mare I’ve ever met in my whole career. She could easily be a bay gelding! Handled by my 4 year old daughter on a daily. Perfect to shoe, catch, load , travel, bath etc! Easy as can be for any member of the family to see to. She extremely loving and loves nothing more than affection. Will stand statue still all day long to be pampered and loved.

On the flat she is one hell of a head turner. Red has been beautifully produced by her owner and as a result is very push button. Very obedient up and down the transitions. Perfect walk to canter , lateral work , and the trot … well , how can I put that! Let’s just say, that’s one of the most uphill and comfortable trots I’ve ever ridden. So much range and rideablity , you could just ride her around all day long. The type of mare that makes anyone look like they know what they’re doing. Has done very well in unaffiliated dressage test and I feel this is a sphere she would absolutely thrive in. She loves to work and is super easy. A nice leg in each corner type. I fell her potential in this sphere is uncapped

She’s no one discipline wonder … she loves to jump! Very bold and genuine over fillers. Most recently jumping double clear in the 80cm at summerhouse. Again, very easy to a fence and loves the job. Super forgiving if you miss etc. Would certainly go out and do this job also. Does have scope to jump bigger tracks with further production

Hacks out faultlessly!! Alone or in company , no questions asked type. Leads the way or happy to keep back. Bold and brave in the heaviest of traffic and is certainly my ride of choice. Infact, she’s everyone ride of choice which sometimes causes a tiff with the yard girls! Super in open spaces , stands at the mountain block , opens and closes the gates etc

There is a BUT with Red. She is with me on sales livery due to owner loosing a bit of confidence. 95% of the time she is as perfect as perfect gets. However, she has been known on occasion to have a big spook which has knocked some confidence with current owner. This is not something we have seen with her ourselves as of yet but is something she has been known to do. I don’t believe this will phase everyone , she’s been an absolute star here but is something to keep in mind. As a result, we will not sell to anyone novice , nervous or incompetent. This is an extremely difficult , heart wrenching decision for her owner to make. She only wants the very best for her and will absolutely want to stay in touch

Come along and meet her if you think she may be for you! It would be an absolute please to show her off. I’d like to keep her for myself but I think I may send my partner into a seizure if I buy yet another personal horse.

Rio - 15.2hh Polo Bred Gelding 2011 Liver Chestnut

Offered to the market on behalf of his owner Rio is looking for a new best friend to call his own.

With an extensive CV Rio has lots to offer.

Hunted with the bloodhounds, Rio proved unfazed by the busy atmosphere and enjoyed being around lots of other horses and having a fast paced job to do.

Beach rides and fun rides are his favourite. Lots of cantering and adventuring around the open countryside as well as dipping his toes into the sea.

Having previously played polo he is a responsive switched on ride and prefers to take confidence from a still well balanced competent rider.

Rio will ride in an arena although he does tend to activate polo mode a little more in this environment will be more responsive than he would be on say a happy hack.

Happy jumping logs and poles when out and about - not a ready made show jumper as this hasn't ever been asked of him. With time and schooling this could just be his unfound forte.

Great on traffic and is a brave sort. Happy to hack alone and in company.

Sadly Rio was sold to his owners 6 months ago and has come back to us to be sold as he simply wasn't a good match to his less experienced jockey. Since being in our yard we have found him ever so slightly worried so think the rider horse/ combo may have left him unsettled.

That said he has also been owned by a fun loving teenager and she idolised him. He was sold purely down to family circumstances at the time - she would love to stay in touch.

Not the type to nap, bronk or rear. Not suited to a novice home - Experienced quiet riders will allow him to shine.

An absolute saint to have on the yard. A gentleman in the stable. Recently trimmed by the farrier. Clipped and only needed extra hands to do his ears and head. No stable vices.

Loads onto a trailer like a professional and travels well.

Happy to turn out with mares and geldings. Is neither top nor bottom of the pecking order so will slot into any home / yard environment.

Wormed to date
Passport and microchipped
Sadly no loans or trials
Nationwide delivery available
