Dylan
17hh 8 year old bay gelding by Guindam out of a Una II mare (by Darco)

Dylan is a striking attractive model with 3 flashy powerful paces. He is correctly put together and has world class breeding. With his sire being Guindam and his mother being out of the legendary Una II (by Darco)

Dylan has been professionally schooled on the flat with auto changes and works nice and softly at all times. He has big, flashy, powerful paces.

Despite being a big horse Dylan is never strong and is ridden in a snaffle and currently ridden at home and competition by a 15 year old girl.

He is ultra brave and forgiving, he would turn his hoof to any job such as, eventing, working hunter, leisure rides not just showjumping.

He is very good to hack and good in open spaces

Good to lead, load, catch and is the friendliest horse in the yard.

Dylan had someone run into him in the warm up, hence why we have put red ribbons on him. He is absolutely not a kicker, and he has massively improved but it did rattle his confidence however the more he goes out im sure it will be forgotten.

Ken is the ultimate head turner. He has the looks, the temperament and he can turn a hoof to anything.

From SJ, XC and dressage to beach rides and drag hunting; Ken loves it all.

He has competed in SJ, arena eventing and hunter trials. He always does his best and comes home with the best photos.

Ken hacks alone and in company. He’s not spooky or silly. I’m sure he’d love a pub ride where he can stop and be admired too!!

He will live in or out, loads and travels well, is easy to look after and enjoys a proper pamper.

He makes a super shape over fence and would be the ultimate PC/RC mother/daughter share/allrounder.

He’s good to catch, load, and with the farrier.

All he wants is to be your best friend.

King – Big Heart, Huge Potential, Looking for His Forever Person

Nottingham, NG12

King is a much-loved horse who is only available due to no fault of his own. This has been a very difficult decision, but my daughter’s health issues have meant she has been unable to ride, and she no longer has the confidence he truly deserves. Our absolute priority is finding him the right, knowledgeable home.

We purchased King in July 2025 from Smart Performance Horses (Sam Walton) for my daughter. Since then, he has been ridden regularly (around 4 times a week) by a loaner — usually schooling or hacking, weather dependent, especially over winter.
 

About King

King has the biggest heart and forms a strong bond with his rider. He is kind and not malicious in any way, but he does need a confident, reassuring person to bring out his best. He thrives on routine and enjoys having a job — keeping him mentally stimulated really suits him.

He works beautifully in the school, is responsive to leg and voice, and is willing and trainable.

He loves hacking and will go alone or in company. He can be a little more aware when alone, but he continues to improve with consistency. He has previously hunted and enjoys being out and about.

King can be spooky at times, but this is improving steadily with regular work and confident handling.
 

Environment & Handling

He is currently kept on a working farm and is completely used to sheep, farm machinery and general activity.

Good with farrier

Recently seen the dentist and behaved impeccably

Good to clip

Good ground manners, though benefits from confident handling

Loads and has previously transported well (has not travelled since we purchased him)

Happy to live in or out (currently mostly living out)

Bridle and rugs included, but no saddle, he is still growing so currently have one on loan.

Outstanding 15hh Show Hunter Pony – 2011 Bay Mare
Royal International & HOYS Placed

A rare opportunity to acquire a top-class 15hh bay mare (2011), a true-to-type Show Hunter Pony of exceptional quality, presence and substance.

By Rubin Star N and out of Coppelia II, she combines proven performance bloodlines with outstanding conformation and movement, making her not only a serious competition prospect but also a valuable future breeding asset.

Previously extremely successful in the show ring, she has won at all major shows and achieved prestigious placings at both the Royal International Horse Show and Horse of the Year Show. A consistent, genuine performer on the biggest stages.

Retired from the ring in 2023 to have a foal, she has low mileage and has been professionally and sympathetically produced throughout her career.

She moves straight and correctly with balanced, rhythmical and ground-covering paces, maintaining a soft, established outline. Snaffle-mouthed, beautifully schooled and mannerly, she is straightforward and a pleasure to deal with in all respects.

Now ready to continue her career, she would be ideally suited to:
• A competitive home aiming for top track success
• Educating and producing a younger jockey
• An elegant hack or quality dressage prospect or equally
a family friend.


With her proven record, outstanding pedigree and correct stamp, she would also be a tremendous asset to any future stud programme.

  • One in a million

Oscar is a much loved, gorgeous boy, who is for sale because as I’m going travelling. I’ve owned him for around eight years so this decision hasn’t been easy. So need to find him a new best friend and a very loving home.

Would suit a confident/experienced young Rider who wants to have fun with low level riding club activities like pony club. Would also suit a mother/daughter share. Isn’t a first pony or a novice ride.

Oscar loves hacking and going on adventures. Not phased by traffic or livestock.
Hasn’t hacked alone in a while, can be a little nappy alone but with someone who is confident enough to push him forward, should be good as gold.

He works very nicely in the school, has shown some beautiful dressage movements but wouldn’t say its his favourite thing to do. He gets quite lazy and can also test his rider and see what he can get away with, by chucking in a buck in there. Once shown he can’t get away with this then never puts a hoof out of place.

Oscar loves jumping, i’ve jumped here and there whilst owning him but I believe he did a bit with his previous owner. Has also done cross-country, hunted and showjumping courses with his previous owner.

He’s gone to a few show jump clinics with his current rider height around 60 to 70 cm, but he could go higher as he has previously.

Oscar is amazing to shoe clip and handle in every way on the ground and off.

Does get slightly nervous travelling and loading due to a scare in a trailer a few years back and hasn’t done a lot of travelling since. Although the last few times he’s been very good, quite nervous in the trailer and sweaty when arrives. Can’t imagine this would be a big issue if worked on as he was as good as gold travelling before.

He is one in 1 million horse. I’ve had such a fun time with him, so only want to send him to an honest and loving home. No time wasters please.

A smart, genuine little mare with so much to offer. A true allrounder who is an honest, keen jumper and moves beautifully on the flat. She produces a lovely dressage test and is an absolute pleasure to ride.

This mare is not a plod and would not suit a beginner or novice rider. She knows her job, is forward-going and responsive, and can be buzzy to a fence as she absolutely loves her jumping. She needs a competent jockey who enjoys riding a horse that is on the button and ready to go. That said, she is never nasty or silly — she simply enjoys her work

She would be ideal for an experienced teenager or adult wanting a genuine, capable partner to go out and enjoy themselves on.

She hacks out happily and has not been phased by traffic.

• Clips, loads and travels well

• Good for the farrier (currently barefoot with excellent feet)

• Snaffle mouthed

• No vices or hang-ups

  • She would be a fantastic all rounder
Drew is such an honest mare with a completely lovable character and is definitely a yard favourite. Myself and my daughter have owned her for 5 years now, in that time my daughter has used Drew for happy hacking, fun rides and general schooling but due to increasing work commitments she has only been in light work for 2 years. Now due to circumstances we are having to make the decision to part ways with Drew which is very difficult.

Drew is great with traffic, she rides alone or in company (she does prefer to follow though) . I would say that Drew is not completely a novice ride as she does have the higher gears too and can get a little excited at times and she does seek confidence from the rider at times (never silly or strong) . She would be a fantastic all rounder but just needs bringing back into work!
She needs a bit of schooling as she is very unbalanced on the one rein. However she works in a stunning outline. She has a dipped back, which she had always had, it does get better when in work and exercised regularly, and doesn’t cause her any problems.

Shes fabulous to catch, load, farrier, dentist, bath etc.

I have contact details for most of her previous owners as she had lived locally for most of her life.

I will only consider a 5* home for Drew as that’s what she deserves!

100% in all traffic, safe and sensible to ride, has not done dressage or jumping with me purely down to lack of transport but would happily do these. Will ride first or last. She will look for confidence from her rider if she is unsure.

Has shown in hand locally and her behaviour is impeccable, she would easily be able to contest the affiliated in hand and ridden classes but sadly as mentioned above we have not been able to peruse these due to lack of transport.

She has clean limbs and correct true to type conformation and would also be an asset to any stud as a broodmare - has had a couple of foals previously and has been a fantastic mum.

100% on the ground to handle, she is more like a oversize dog! Good to bath (not too keen on her legs) shoe, vet, teeth, load etc!

Lucy is only available to the very best of homes as this is not a decision that has been taken lightly and is a heartbreaking sale due to my circumstances, she has been in the same home for 5 years and it took me years to find her.

Please note she is currently in her winter woolies and lives out 24/7.

This is an abolutley heartbreaking sale of Sammy. I have owned Sammy for 4 years, and ONLY selling due to not having the time he deserves anymore.

Sammy absolutley loves life. He loves to be out and about, he loves fuss and attention, he loves new adventures. He is never sick or sorry and never has an off day. Sammy is a very forward going ride, and is always full of energy and fun.

Showjumping
Sammy loves showjumping. He never ever refuses, he will attempt the jump infornt of him no matter how wrong his rider is. Sammy is comfortable jumping up to 90cm courses, however I do feel that with the right education he is certainly capable of much more.
He is very forward going over a jump. He locks on and hes going over it. He occasionaly does a little leap going into the jump. But this is all part of the fun. He is great in a jump off, got the speed and the turns. Sammy is very rarely not placed in a show.

Hacking
A wonderful hack. Forward, fun, but safe. Sammy has done beach rides, pub rides, fun rides, hacks on his own, in a large group and is fantastic in traffic. He has a fast walk and is usually up front, but will hapily walk on the buckle. If we are in a group and we canter, he is easy enough to hold back and stay at the back. He is never out of control or bombs off. He has hunted a handful of times and was very well behaved, no different to his usual self out hacking.

Cross country / arena eventing
Nothing phases sammy, he will jump ditches, logs, bushes, trees, hedges and water. Happy to land in water. Sammy has done the derby show in broomes plenty of times and has never put a stop in, and charges across the bridge.


Sammy is easy to handle in all situations. He is calm, kind, and always full of mischeif. Sammy has a massive personality and never fails to make us laugh.
Sammy is good to shoe, catch, clip, and load.
He lives with mares and geldings, and is stabled at night in the winter.
He does like turn out as he gets bored.

The Negatives
As ive said, sammy is forward going, and he does like a cheeky buck. It is absolutley nothing malicious, it is purely playfulness. His bucking is worse when he is ridden in the school at home. When he is in a show, he never bucks in the ring. Might have one in the warm up, but never in the ring. When we are out hacking, if he knows he is on a canter path, he wil do a little buck as if it to say "come on lets canter" but like I said, he never bolts off. My mum hacks him often, and even though she is very experienced, she is also a pretty nervous rider, but she really enjoys riding him.
I let my daughter ride him, and I let my friends ride him, with no concerns whatsoever. He is just not for a novice.

Sammy would be perfect for a confident teenager who just wants to go out and do everything and have loads of fun.

Sammy will only be going to the most perfect home, No timewasters, as I cannot stress enough what a hard sale this is.

10 year old 16.1 gelding for sale. Max is an Irish sports cob who was imported from Ireland 5 years ago to be a mother daughter share, however my daughter is now giving up and he his too good to just be a happy hacker with me.

In the 5 years that we have owned Max he has been to regular clinics, fun rides, camps, hunting, dressage and county shows regularly coming home with rosettes. He hacks out alone and in company, where he is happy to be first or last.

Jumping is one of his favourite things, he will jump anything and gives his rider lots of confidence. He is currently jumping at 80cm but has scope to go bigger.

We regularly refer to Max as a bit of a turbo cob as he enjoys his work and is very much more go than woah therefore not for a novice/nervous rider. He does best when he has a job and would turn his hoof to anything. A pony club/hunting/competition home would be his idea of heaven.

Easy to clip, shoe, load, travel etc.

Will live out 24/7 but will also stable. Has lived with mares and geldings always getting on with everyone.

Max is up to date with his vaccinations, teeth and physio.

£15,000 with full tack and wardrobe. Which would include a Kent &Masters dressage and GP saddle, his bridles and rugs.

15hh 7 yrs piebald cob x Welsh mare

Fun all rounder and super hack. Would enjoy doing some PC or RC and has done unaff dressage previously.

Rosie is a sweet mare who is quiet to ride, and more woah than go, she’s not sharp or silly but can have an opinion on things and as such needs a rider / handler who’s not totally novice as we feel she would quickly learn to take advantage if she thought she could. She enjoys her work in and out the school and is keen to please.

With us she hasn’t put a foot out of line but does need reminding of her manners occasionally as can be a bit rude! Nothing someone half competent can’t handle though. She has been with older novice ladies doing some dressage but quickly realised they were a bit wet and she could walk all over them.

She’s a mare who likes a firm leader and then is an absolute doddle.

Please don’t expect a cuddly mare! She has a great resting bitch face, I feel this will improve but she very much needs one to one and to find “her person “, she’s not a biter or a kicker but just not in your face and pockets and rather be left to be a horse when she can. Rosie is very much a girl who likes clear direction, she appreciates an assertive human who just tells her to get on with things.

She hacks out very well alone and in company, will go first or last. Happy to go for a gallop then go back to a steady plod. Very good in traffic. Been hacking here with everyone from novice teens upwards. She’s still a little green in the school and her canter needs a bit of work, she’s been ridden badly and very backwards previously but improves every day, She wants to work in a shape and tries hard to please just hasn’t really been taught where the go button is so can be a bit slow with her transitions currently and falls out of canter.

She’s a nice mover with flashy paces and definitely has a lot of potential to be out and about willing rosettes but needs a bit of flat boot camp first. She loves her jumping and although green as grass never says no and jumps anything you ask of her. She has taken part in jumping clinics since being with us again ridden by keen teenager. With further work she will do all PC and RC activities, unaff SJ, XC etc. she would be a nice type to take hunting as she’s steady but capable.

Perfect to catch, box, clip, shoe etc. she’s very sweet with other horses, happy to live in or out. She’s a lovely mare that just needs polishing off in to being the perfect rounder.

Super young horse who will go on to make a wonderful hunter, RC all rounder, hack, a real jack of all trades type. He would suit most riders but is obviously green and still learning.

Guss has got the loveliest attitude to his work, exceptionally kind and willing to please, he has recently been broken and is riding very well for his age with a lovely mouth and natural way of going and you couldn’t ask for any more from him at this point. He has three good very balanced paces. He has had very little formal education in the school and has done a couple of half days hunting ( hence the hog as no one likes plaiting! He’s not itchey!) and been out hacking both alone and in company and has proved himself as genuine and sensible. He is working naturally on the bridle and popping a few small fences in the school.

Guss is a steady and sensible sort, he is hacking out well alone and in company and has been good in all traffic met to date. He’s a really simple type of horse, adores people and fuss, excellent to clip, catch, shoe etc and wants to be your friend. He’s not sharp or silly and although young is very much one that can be picked up and put down again with no fear of the ejection button being hit!

He has a huge frame to fill and will turn in to a substantial hunter/ maxi cob type once mature. Although he is obviously green as grass he’s very willing and would suit someone as a first young horse to bring on, he’s the sort that once he finds his person he won’t ever be sold on as types like him are impossible to find as older horses. He really will go and become someone’s best mate.

Guss is an old fashioned Irish type hard to find.

Fred has been the most super first horse for a confident amateur to learn the ropes on.

He is a fabulous stamp a true leg in each corner weight carrying type. He has never been lame sick or sorry and has turned his hoof to a variety of disciplines.

Fred was bought from a riding school where he was a used for more advanced riders and hacking. Prior to this he was in a hunting home.

Fred has enjoyed a varied life of hacking, dressage and jumping. He has done a good few unaffiliated prelim tests and always tries his best, he is a very accurate horse. He has also done plenty of unaffiliated showjumping jumping around courses of 70/80cm. He really loves his jumping and will jump all fillers planks etc. He takes you into a fence and is forgiving on a miss stride.

Fred has been good to hack, he hacks alone and in company. He is good in traffic and open spaces. He is also happy to pop over some cross-country fences and is a really fun ride. He has done a couple of fun rides from the yard to the pub etc.

Fred is good to do on the ground, catch, clip, shoe, load etc. He has a lovely nature, he is never nasty, enjoys all the fuss and attention. He is a good doer and is happy to be turned out individually or as part of a herd.

Fred is looking for his new home due to his owner wanting to now go on and jump bigger tracks affiliated, so this is a sad sale on behalf of a client.

Ideally Fred is looking for someone to carry on having lots of fun, he wouldn’t be for a nervous/ complete novice rider as he is not a kick along, however he is not a hot sharp horse.

Price reflects importance of home.

Quality youngster who is a really lovely willing girl who only ever wants to please. To make an outstanding top end PC/ RC competition horse, enough scope to go BE/ BS, good enough paces / natural way of going for BD, well marked and a good enough mover for some showing, and just an all round good egg! She will go and turn heads and win hearts in whatever she does!

Lorri was homebred by a friend in Ireland, this girl has had the best start and been slowly and correctly produced with a long term future in mind, she will make a super competition type but is not sharp or sensitive and is forgiving girl and therefore suitable for someone to have as a first youngster to home produce, kid coming off ponies etc. Lorri isn’t at all mareish and super easy to do everything with.

Lorri is a beautiful model, very well marked and pretty. She has the temperament and brain to match this so is a real type hard to find. She is working exceptionally well on the flat for her age, she has a lovely mouth, 3 very expressive but balanced paces with the nicest canter. She is very willing and trainable and will do the most beautiful test with a little more fine tuning. She isn’t a sensitive or silly type and very rideable, always willing to please and absorbs everything asked of her and is a delight to ride each day. To jump Lorri is brave and scopey. She is jumping round a full course of show jumps including fillers and water tray at 80 cm and looks at nothing. She has attended a couple of training shows with us and jumped straight round. She had been taking part in group clinics with us and is always well behaved and much admired. She has loads of scope to go on and is naturally careful and clever to jump. She has been XC schooling and jumps ditches, water, drops etc with no bother, her brain is very willing and she loves to have a job to do. She would suit most riders and be the most wonderful first young horse for someone to produce.

Lorri also loves her hacking and is good both alone and in company, she’s met quite a bit of traffic and hasn’t been bothered by any of it. She’s got a lovely sensible attitude to life without being dull and will make someone the nicest little horse. Everyone here loves her!

Lorri is good to catch, box, shoe, clip etc. just the nicest little horse who will get snapped up!

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.

He 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.

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

Ned is a compact little horse with a good amount of bone and lovely temperament. Ned is by Peters Brook a registered Irish Cob part bred out of a dam by Willie Joe, a unique mix of Irish blood that would make a nice show hunter/ working hunter pony type.

Ned has been an amateur’s horse for most of his life enjoying pleasure rides, hacks, beach rides and all the fun activities in between. He has also done a good few low level competions both showjumping and dressage.

In the school on the flat ned has started to progress nicely, due to the nature of his previous homes schooling has not been the top priority, now in a professional environment being schooled he has proven to pick things up quickly, works in an outline, has three nice paces. And would certainly excel as an event/working hunter horse.

Ned is happy to pop round a course of fences, he has a nice tidy jump and is not fazed by fillers etc. He is currently jumping 80/90cm with ability. He has also done a some cross country fences and loves the variety.

Ned hacks alone and in company, he has seen farm and village traffic and does not get hot up in open spaces. He would hunt as he is mannerly and very well behaved.

Ned is a lovely horse to be around, he is happy to live in or out, goes on the walker and is simply a very easy horse to deal with. He is good to load, clip, shoe, catch etc.

This is a sad sale with a genuine reason. We would love to see Ned in a home where he can continue having lots of fun and compete. For sale on behalf of a client.
