15.2hh rising 8yo Spanish bred Bay Gelding

Murphy was imported from Spain in Autumn 2022, and has been in the same home since 4yo, he hasn't been rushed and as is typical of his breeding has started to mature well now in his 8th year.

He has done two seasons hunting with the Burton, lots of show jumping and XC schooling, has been round the Knossington fun ride jumping some of Leicestershire's best. He absolutely loves a job and will jump fillers, skinnys, ditches, hedges and into water.

He is easy to clip, lets me do his ears with the big clippers. I am often alone and so he has to be good. Easy to catch, load etc. He is currently barefoot as he has such lovely strong feet, but is shod allround during the hunting season.

Murphy enjoys hacking, taking confidence from his rider, he is happy in company or alone, all our hacking is off road but he does see tractors and farm traffic. He will jump ditches, hedges and rails alike, has the most comfortable rhythmical canter and turns as you think it on a showjumping course. He thrives on attention and will suit someone with time to dedicate to him.

He has never had a lame step, no cribbing, windsucking, weaving, and lives on fresh air!

Murphy is a super fun little horse, perfect for an experienced rider. As is typical of Spanish horses, he can be sensitive and is truly rewarding to build trust with, he is very clever and will think ahead to please you. He kept us out of trouble out hunting being clever with his feet.

He has lived out 24/7, is currently in at night and loves it.

I bought Murphy to run alongside my older horse when living at home with my parents and our own land, I have since had to relocate due to my partners work and now have to keep two horses on full livery which we cannot maintain hence the very sad sale of Murph. He is by no means the finished article despite having made a good start at getting experience of the world, so my ideal new home would be an experienced horse person, not a novice ride.

Will only go to the best knowledgeable home where his full potential can be fulfilled

WANTED - Searching For A Trustworthy Allrounder / Best Friend Type


Ref #: 404421

  • Character - Gentle Natured, Polite, Family Friend
  • Type - Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar, Nothing Too Heavyweight.
  • Height - 14.3-15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • Character - Gentle Natured, Polite, Family Friend
  • Type - Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar, Nothing Too Heavyweight.

I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

15.1 Appaloosa mare 8yo. A kind, easy mare with genuine talent. She has three flashy, quality paces and a balanced, easy, natural jump, never phased by fillers. She is well educated and straightforward to ride.

Her owner has done a fantastic job giving her excellent manners, making her a pleasure to have around the yard and to handle. She is good to shoe, load and clip, and is easy in all aspects of daily management.

On the flat she works in a natural outline, moving in a rhythmical, correct way.

She is bold over cross-country fences, despite not having done a huge amount of XC to date.

She has been hunting, where she was excellent – not strong or silly in any way.

Great to hack alone or in company. She is sensible in open spaces, does not get silly when cantering, and will happily pop ditches. Goes first, last, or sits quietly in the middle of the ride.

A genuine, straightforward horse with a lovely attitude and plenty of ability for someone to enjoy and progress.

A much-loved 16hh ISH black mare, 13 years old, owned by us for the past 3 years. Thelma was originally purchased for our very tall 12-year-old (now 15) and has been a genuine, kind partner throughout her time with us.

She has been kept at a professional competition livery yard and previously had one long-term home, where she was ridden and competed by an amateur adult alongside a 5* event rider.

Thelma is well schooled on the flat and produces a lovely dressage test, showing real quality and consistency. She hacks out confidently both alone and in company, is excellent in traffic, and happily goes around roads and open fields. She has even been ridden out by our second, younger daughter (11).

She has previously enjoyed success as an eventer however we feel she would be far happier in a home who loves dressage and enjoys hacking.

Thelma is a fun smiley character, who is looking for her next long-term home.

Perfect allrounder / family horse!!

  • Rides sweetly on the flat.
  • Enjoys his jumping and has previously attended showjumping competitions.
  • Has the kindest temperament.

Joey rides sweetly on the flat with three balanced paces and a lovely canter you could sit on all day long. He is more whoa than go in the school, but still gives you a nice ride and can produce a good tune.

Joey enjoys his jumping and has previously attended showjumping competitions, as well as both showjumping and cross country clinics. I’d say he would be happiest around 70/80cm.

He is good to hack and good in open fields. He can be a little more forward in open spaces as he definitely enjoys getting out and exploring.

Joey has the kindest temperament. He would happily stand to be brushed and cuddled all day long. He is a real family type who would love nothing more than to live outside someone’s house and be fussed over constantly.

He is shod in front, up to date with everything, good to do in all ways, and has impeccable manners.

I think Joey would suit someone wanting to do a bit of everything, particularly someone who enjoys hacking and getting out and about, as that is very much what he loves most.

Joey is here with me on sales livery, but he originally came from me as a 4yo, so all of his history is known.

Due to long term health condition I am downsizing to one horse.

Please read the full description

MATCHPOINT

17hh 10yo gelding

I have owned him since nov 2024. We have done one full season together where we were 4th RI amateurs and qualified for the ladies side saddle at HOYS.

We also done dressage up to novice level qualify for area and regional Championships.

Matchpoint is NOT for available to a showing home as he has lost the love for it and makes that clear.

He would ideally be suited to a dressage home where an amateur wants to have success at areas and regionals. With training he would go up through the levels but to date had only done prelim and amateur scoring high 60 to low 70% with very little work before hand due to it being winter and having no facilities so with work these scores would easily improve !

He is a sweet loving horse who is easy to work with and will live in or out but does prefer to be out ! He does like a routine as such but once he gets into your routine he is easy.

He can be ridden after a month off with no issue and doesn’t need to be in regular work to compete.

He happily takes the side saddle so would easily do this dressage.

This has been a very hard decision but unfortunetly my health is making having multiple horses unrealistic. He will be unbelievably missed.

We are based Dumfries Scotland but he is currently with a friend in Kirriemuir.

Some movement for easy quick decisions.

The kind you dream about

Bella is the definition of a genuine horse who is very easy to own. Incredibly kind, willing, and a pleasure to have around, she’s happy living in or out and takes everything in her stride.

A quick learner with a fantastic attitude, she’s improving all the time and offers a lovely, eye-catching way of going. Safe, sensible, and as close to “bulletproof” as they come, she’s the perfect partner for someone wanting confidence and quality in one package.

Kind & straightforward
Quick to learn & eager to please
Great mover with lots of potential - forward with great paces
Safe, sensible & reliable


Over the last year I have done everywith Bella, and she has taken me from being a true beginner to being a confident, happy rider. We have done fun charity rides, regular weekly RC schooling, hunter trials 70/80, show jumping competitions 60/70, and endless hacking with my children on their ponies. I can ride and lead, i can sit my 3 year old on son on her, my 8 year old daughter can turn her out and bring her in. She is happy in or out, barefoot, and as low maintenance as you can imagine. VERY genuine reason for sale.

A real sweetheart who just wants to get on with her job and look after her rider. Truly heartbreaking sale, so serious enquiries only. Full wardrobe available.

PLEASE NOTE, BELLA IS NOT A PLOD ALONG COB. She is forward, sporty, and super fun, whilst being really safe. She has a beautiful big neck and as a result can feel heavy. Becuse of her type, she is not feather light in the hand.

  • Dressage trained up to Novice with scope to go further.
  • Beautiful markings, eligible for CHAPS. Would suit a show ring.

Polly is an allrounder super cob, with so much potential and character. Polly is a calm ride, she has never tanked with me or been out of control, but she does get very excited going into fences. She is currently on loan to an equestrian college where she is doing all types of lessons with students. Polly is good to lunge in long reins and be long reined. Polly would be eligible for CHAPS and in the right hands would make a great horse in the show ring. She has been with her current owner for 5 years, in which time she also birthed a foal in 2023. 

Polly is able to be isolated, but prefers to be able to see other horses in the field and yard. Out hacking she is better with other horses, but she is very happy to be taken away from others to be exercised and be schooled alone. She copes well with changes of environment and has been out to several competition venues on her own for unaffiliated dressage and pole work clinics. I’ve never hunted her or gone cross country as I prefer dressage, but she loves jumping and with the right training could do more.

Polly is very well behaved for a farrier, vet, dentist and physio. Her feet are bare and she’s always been sound footed. She loves being groomed and tolerates clippers. Polly travels well, but is not the perfect loader up a steep ramp - no matter what, she always goes in. Once in, she travels quietly and is happy being travelled alone or in company. The days where I was travelling her consistently, she was so much better at loading. I was told she was travelled in a trailer before I purchased her, and a previous owner who contacted me said she never had issues travelling her, so I have always put it down to our particular steep ramp.

Polly is very smart and a consistent routine pays off extremely well. She is happy to be caught when she knows the routine (e.g. in winter when she knows she’s being brought in for the nighttime), otherwise she can be a little mareish and decide she’s not in the mood. During the summer when she’s not coming in to the yard consistently every day, we keep a head collar on or pop one on when she’s having her morning feed to catch her later in the day. Food and treats are always the best bribe!

If you’re looking for a cob with huge ridden capabilities, the ability to jump and do dressage - Polly’s has this in heaps. She would also suit a family where there was more hacking available than I’ve ever had, as she would suit the happy hacker life. Polly is very much the sort of horse that loves familiarity, routines and established relationships. She has so much to give someone who has the time to build a relationship with her.

I’m only selling her due to the fact that I’m pregnant with my second child and I have kept her offspring to be my next horse, so I cannot give Polly the full attention she deserves. A good home is essential for this lovely horse.

She has done some unaffiliated prelim dressage tests where she always receives very promising comments and good scores in the high 60's. She finds her work very easy and she is very light footed on her feet with a real leg in each corner. She is lovely to work with as she always wants to please her rider.

Rosie loves her jumping and is very bold. She makes a super shape over a fence and is very careful, she rarely touches a pole. She nicely takes her rider into the fence. She will jump from trot or canter. She helps her rider out if presented to the fence on the wrong stride. She has jumped round 80cm courses with scope so could jump bigger. She hasn't been over jumped though as her previous owner used to mainly school and hack her. She would excel in a riding club home where she could do sj and pole work clinics. She has also been xc schooling which she loves.

Rosie is a brilliant hack, very safe and very enjoyable. She happily hacks out alone and in company. She is excellent in traffic, she has previously crossed a busy 'a' road roundabout and patiently waited until it is clear to cross. She isn't fazed by lorries passing her etc. However she isn't keen on tractors, so we just pull into a driveway where she calmly stands and waits for it to pass her. She is great in open spaces and sensible. She prefers to be in front when you go for a canter. She has been on long 10 mile hacks and has previously done pleasure rides. She has also been to Holkham beach which she loved and was so much fun. She really is so chilled out and you can really relax on her and enjoy yourself. She loves her hacking very much and is a super safe confidence giving who is nicely forward going.

Rosie has an exceptional quiet temperament, she isn't your usual chestnut mare. She is very quiet to handle and is very polite. She is a very kind and friendly girl who can safely be handled by everyone including children and non-horsey people. She is such an easy girl to have around, she is excellent in all ways to handle, and is regularly brought in from the field by children. She leads like a dog and isn't fazed by anything. She currently stables over night and goes out during the day but also does the reverse during the summer. She loves a routine. She is such a lovely girl who is worth her weight in gold!

Rosie must go to a 10* home where she will be loved and enjoyed. She will make an excellent riding club alrounder or pleasure horse . She really is a lovely genuine girl. She recently passed a 5 stage vetting and xrays that can come with her.

£12,500 based in Ramsey, Cambs.

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.
