Dee- Dee - 15.3 5year old. Dapple grey mare.

The cutest little mare. Takes everything in her stride, green due to age but actually riding very straightforward and showing to be so willing to her job. She’s one that progresses and improves quickly. Not spooky to jump always straight and gives everything a try. Competing around a course or 80/90cm and jumped 1m courses at home.

Has been out cross country schooling a few times and shown to be phased by nothing! Real little poppet!

She has hunted in Ireland and been ridden by teenagers. She always wants to please her rider.

Would suit a grassroots/ riding club/ pony club home with a rider who can continue to produce her further.

No vices and recently passed her vetting.

  • Beautiful future superstar

Beautiful future superstar 16hh mare by Air Chief Marshall, Callie has been produced by a 16 yr old girl she's easy and uncomplicated to ride jumps off any stride takes a miss and says no to nothing , she goes really well on the flat and has been scoring low 30's ( and dressage is not my daughter's thing ) hacks alone or in company

Callie oozes quality and has lovely limbs and confirmation she's also barefoot and dosent need shoes.

She's evented to 90 and schooled round Novice and 2* fences never even thinking twice she has tons of power and jump and I feel with the right jockey is a serious junior event prospect who has the talent to go up the levels but equally is very suited to an amateur who just wants a lovely horse to win on.

Callie is that all-round package which is so hard to get. She's great to box , shoe, clip , bath , travel , plait etc and loves attention.

She's the happiest horse you'll meet and Winnie's to you everytime she sees you. We are only selling as my daughter is taking a change of direction and going showjumping and Callie is a true event horse.

5* home needed as we adore this horse and think alot of her.

***MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!!!***

Desperately seeking a genuine, safe, 15-16hh (Max), as a Low-Level Allrounder for a very experienced mature, Lady Rider (5’4”, 9 Stone). Due to circumstances out of my control, still seeking my Forever Horse for Hacking, Lessons/Clinics, Riding Club, Local Shows/Events (including: Dressage, SJ, XC, ODE, SHowing), Fun Rides (but absolutely NO Hunting needed.). Geldings preferred but ‘Non-Mare-ish’ Mares considered!

Must, happily:

 HACK ALONE (and in company occasionally)
Travel alone (7.5T Horsebox)
 NO Vices
Live out 24/7 (but rugged/clipped as appropriate with Field Shelter and Stable)
Good in traffic
Turn-out with other ponies or on it’s own (next to others)
‘Independent Brain’/Non-Stresser - Hacking, Travelling, occasionally turning out alone)
TB’s/TB x/ISH Type

No Vices
No Buckers, Rearers, Bolters, Nappers
No known KS or SI Issues
No Heavy Types

This will be a pleasure ‘Forever Horse’ for myself; looking for a few years of fun and then happy to provide a retirement home. We keep two other old ponies (one 28 years old and one 16 years old) that we have owned for 11 years (and they are going nowhere!); we also keep a couple of Dogs, Chickens and a Pigmy Goat on our Small Holding.

Very experienced Rural, Private home offered and professional references can be provided. Said horse is never going to be over-worked (probably ridden 3-5 times/week and fun things/competitions probably once a month). Would suit a horse that someone just doesn’t want to completely let-go-of/wants to stay in touch. Something that needs to take a slower pace of life but still needs to be active. Don’t mind certain medical issues providing they are disclosed, or horses needing to come back into work (providing they were sane beforehand!).

For sale due to my daughter moving out and loosing interest. I haven’t got the time and experience and hence for the past 12+ months I have used him as a happy hacker, being a novice mum.

15hh 11 year, gelding with a superb kind temperament and so much scope. Unrecorded breeding on basic Irish passport.

He’s done hacking, hunting, fun rides, XC, show jumping in the past. However these days he’d is happier being a happy hacker and perhaps in time build up to doing some fun rides again. He’s not faced by having machinery, children, dogs or other horses around him. Hacks alone or in company.

He’s good to load on a trailer or lorry, good with vets, easy to catch, shoe, clip, stands quietly to groom and good for dentist. He’s a gem to have around and so easy to do.

We are working on a more controlled canter in the school. I feel cater work in the school is going to be a project. He has not done any jumping recently but I know he was quick to the fence in the past. I believe he needs an experienced adult rider to work with him if he is ridden in a school.

I however am a novice and he’s only done hacking with myself in the past year. He’s brilliant if hacking is all you want from him. If you want more then he will need someone with some patience and skill. Sadly I haven’t got the time to do enough with him. He could be a great mother and adult daughter share.

Beach picture is a recent one.
Jumping picture is 18 months ago.

He is based in St Agnes in Cornwall.

  • Confidence giving / experience
  • Fun character, laid back but knows its stuff
  • Easy to handle, take to shows on my own

Im a confident rider with many many years of experience with different breed of horses. However, as I am nearing 40, i am now looking for my last horse of a life time, so looking for a nice allrounder to have fun and bring me back home safe and in one piece.

I own a small holding which consists of stables, arena and 10 acres of land.

Currently have 6 horses at home which consist of a pony for my daughter, 2 retired that have been with me for years and 3 youngsters I bred myself.

Things I am looking for in my next horse - they must be easy to do in all ways, I often will go to shows by myself or with my young daughter.

Confidence giver and forgiving in the jumping department, someone to help me out when I get it wrong - nice steady approach when jumping, don’t want something that locks on a shoots forward.

Hack out alone and in company.

Would like to start doing more dressage, so something that knows the basics.

I do enjoy the odd fun ride with a friend so would be nice if I can do this without the horse jogging the entire way or running off when another horse comes past. (Had many of these type of horses when I was younger, my body was more able back then)

No bucking, rearing - I understand it is impossible to ask for a bomb proof horse but something not too spooky.

I am actively looking and have a healthy budget for the right horse.

Height - 15.2hh to 16.3hh

Age - 7 years to 11years may go slightly older depending on how old. But don’t want to go any younger as I do what the horse to have experience.

Ideally looking to buy from a private home, someone who has had their horse for a while and knows a lot of history.

Horse must be open to vet and vet history.

If you think you may have something to suit please get in touch.

I am also happy to keep in touch with previous owner etc.

Sorry no full TB/ex racer or cobs
Happy to receive what’s app videos etc I am based in North wales, happy to travel up to 3 hours for the right horse.

Thanks for reading.

******** Please please only message if your horse fits my criteria above. I have had a lot of people messaging me with 4 year olds/ rising 5 year old or 13/14 years old. This is not what I am after - I already have youngsters at home and 2 retired horses. ***********

Belle

Raced 3 times as a 2 year old and came dead last in all races. Was pretty rubbish to be honest

Easy to do in all ways. Easy to have on the yard, ground manners are impeccable, my 9 year old can handle her. She is my 9 year old favourite to groom as she loves a fuss.

We’ve had her out at clinics, schooling cross country and show jumping. She has not put a foot wrong.

3 established paces. Show jumping she’s proving to be bold, we have had her over 60/70cm single fences and a filler. Cross country she seems pretty brave but only gone over 50cm fences. She rides green over a fence lacking straightness.

Hacks out fine doesn’t change in a field. Can be spooky. Haven’t hacked her on her own due to being on a main road.

Snaffle mouthed

Would be a lovely little cheap project for someone to give her some more education.

This little mare needs a home where they can continue her education. This mare has a great head on her and comes out everyday better and really wants to please. Price reflects her age and that she is green.

Although she is green she has never bucked or reared or been nasty.

Being sold for a friend who has had her a year and a half, but is wasted with them as they are paying for staff to ride her and she is taking up a stable.

She is up to date with feet, vaccinations teeth and physio.
