  • Eva is a kind, well mannered mare.
  • Perfect for a hacking home with fun rides and beach rides.
  • Homozygous Tobiano with Grandsire as 'Country Top Gun'

Eva is looking for a new home because sadly we bought her to event and she isn’t going to be able to do that due to arthritis in her hocks which have been medicated with arthramid. She can absolutely still be ridden and will make someone very happy as a fun, hacking horse and a best friend.

Eva is such a kind mare with excellent ground manners. She is happy to live in and out and is good to catch, shoe, clip and load. She hacks alone and in company and has done a lot of hacking and fun rides, we’ve also been to the beach with her.

Eva thoroughly enjoys her hacking and is foot perfect wherever we take her. Although Eva is very well behaved she would absolutely not be suitable for a complete novice.

Her grandsire is ‘Country Top Gun’ and Eva is homozygous Tobiano with DNA testing to show this.

We would love to find the best home for her that is predominantly a hacking home with fun rides and beach rides. I would love to stay in touch as she is a special girl.


Jigsaw – 15.2hh 9yo Skewbald ISH x Cob Gelding


Ref #: 382039

  • 9 years

  • 15.2hh, 9yo skewbald gelding
  • ISH x Cob with striking looks and flashy movement
  • Anyones ride - Mother Daughter Share
The ultimate confidence-giver and family favourite – Jigsaw is a much-loved 15.2hh, 9-year-old Irish Sport Horse x Cob gelding looking for his next person.
He has been with us for 4 years and is a true yard gem – a kind, calm, and laid-back gentleman who has looked after everyone from our visiting pre-teens to our 80-something grandfather on his very first ride!

At a Glance:
• 15.3hh, 9yo skewbald gelding
• ISH x Cob with striking looks and flashy movement
• Calm, sensible, and sweet natured
• Barefoot with excellent feet
• Lives out 24/7 but also happy stabled
• No vices, sound and healthy
• Based in Dorchester
• £8,500 (tack/rugs negotiable)

What He’s Done:
• A lovely all-rounder who thrives on variety
• Schooling nicely on the flat – a smart mover with real potential for grassroots dressage
• Hacks alone or in company – front or behind – and loves a safe steady canter
• Weekly low-level show jumping at home to keep things fun and varied
• Has been XC schooling – happy over small fences, not naturally confident over bigger questions
• Trail hunted 4–5 times – loves being in the field, just not the hedge hopping!
• Great for a fuss – loves to be groomed, comes to call, and happy in/out of herd

Ideal Home:
Jigsaw would be perfect as a mother-daughter share, for a novice or nervous rider, or as a family all-rounder. He genuinely wants to please and gives back what you put in.
He's happiest with someone who will enjoy hacking, maybe do a bit of flatwork or low-level fun, and give him all the attention he thrives on.

He Is:
• Good to catch, load, travel (trailer or lorry), shoe, and clip (will stand in a head collar for all clipping, BUT he has always been nervous clipping around lower legs, so we trim with scissors or sedate just for legs)
• Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, worming
• Open to any vetting
• Sound and healthy – has never had an issue in the time we’ve had him

Why He’s For Sale:
Sadly, with competition horses and young horses to produce, we simply can’t give Jigsaw the full-time job or attention he deserves. He is too special to just fit around the others – he needs and deserves his own person.
He’s been a huge part of the family and we’ll be very sad to see him go

He really enjoys jumping and with us will happily jump a course up to 80cm with plenty of scope to go higher in time with further training.

He is still green but willing and learns quickly but most importantly he wants to please his rider and enjoys the work.

He Will hack alone and in company, Loads and travels perfect in lorry or trailer, with or without company.

Circus is the loveliest character, he loves cuddles and being groomed and would make a great companion horse for somebody looking to do some happy hacking!

Circus is easy to do in all ways, he will walk on the buckle around for a hack!

In the menage he is more forward going so not a novice ride (not silly just forward)

He would be the perfect horse for hacking holidays, fun rides, beach trips etc!

We have had Circus for the last 7/8 years, we know him inside out! He is a sweet and kind horse and we would like Circus to go to an experienced and forever home, someone that can provide him the care, love and time he deserves as that is all he wants to give to you!

He has done a bit of everything in the past from eventing as a young horse to showjumping but he’s now just looking for an easy life - no homes that want to jump or school heavily please!

Circus is regretfully up for sale as I’m now working full time and do not have enough time for a horse, this has been a very hard decision for me!

The sweetest girl you could wish for

£8,000 ONO
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 15 hands
  • A genuinely lovely character in all ways

Claribel has been with me all her life and has been nothing but a real pleasure in all ways. Originally purchased as a companion foal she has now supassed all expectations and turned into the most lovely riding horse you could wish for.

She has been under saddle now for the last 6 months and as expected from her super personaility she has not given us a moments trouble. She is very kind and willing and is very straightforwards.

She has no known breeding but is a more blood build. She isn't sharp or silly and is absolutely bombproof in traffic, snaffle mouthed and can be given time off and never gets silly or naughty.

We have ticked off the boxes of doing all her first times, she travels like a professional in any vehicle and can be left alone without any fuss, she is well schooled, she wouldn't be the most scopey jumper but she will have a go at anything, she has been cross country and has no issues with water/ditches or steps, she has even been to the pub!! and stood like a stone enjoying being part of the gang.

She genuinely is a really delightful girl to have and be around.


Beautiful Allrounder By Womaniser

  • Loves to hack
£4,950 no VAT
  • Irish
  • Fleabitten grey
  • Mare
  • 14 years

  • Superb breeding
  • Beautiful on the flat
  • Loves to hack

The looks , the breeding , and boy does she move! Meet Paris - 14yo , 16.3hh, Irish mare directly by womaniser.

Paris is kind and easy to do in all ways. Currently living in with individual and herd turnout throughout the day time due to my lack of grazing. Never gets hot or silly and is ridden by us all on the yard

She is simply stunning on the flat. She would go and do the most beautiful dressage test that’s for sure. She has great changes , good basic lateral work , and makes a beautiful shape with a lovely way of going. Attractive paces with the most comfortable of canters

Paris has got a super jump in her and has been competed successfully. That said , u feel she may have lost either her confidence or her love for the job at a decent level in terms of show jumping. She is happy over small fences and so for that reason is a low level allrounder or more ideally a pleasure horse. She loves to jump logs and rustics outside of the arena and would really enjoy a summer of fun rides etc

Hacking is her favourite!! Goes alone or in company! Can have the odd look at things but is super level headed and straight forward. Hacks along our 60mph main road without any bother at all. Super in open spaces , enjoys going through the stream and up through the woodlands. Ridden by an enthusiastic teen who adores her

Coming in to the hunting season , I think there’s lots of fun to be had with this very attractive and flashy eyeful of a horse. Sweetening up with a season of hedge hopping may just sweeten her completely. I’d love to take her hound exercising myself , so watch this space!

A nice allrounder / happy hacker / rising club etc type!

Would also have one hell of a foal with this breeding!

  • Flashy mover
  • Super keen to please

Always B is super loving, very well schooled with beautiful paces and loves his flat work. More woah than go. He has never trained or raced and is more of a sports horse stamp than TB.

He would be happy with a pure dressage, however he also has a nice jump. He is good to hack, never fizzy but he can spook, which is solved with acoustic ears. He is not a novice ride due to this.

He has jumped round plenty of courses, been xc schooling and on pleasure rides. Super keen to please and never strong and snaffle mouthed always.

He is a sensible horse to have a yard and isn’t bothered with lots of things going on. He likes people and is very affectionate. He will stand to be groomed all day long.

Perfect to catch, shoe, load etc.

  • Cob

This stunning boy has it all - he’s a head turner, well put together with a balanced frame, strong limbs, and expressive movement.

He has been slowly, professionally produced . An uncomplicated forward ride, soft mouth and making a nice correct shape. His flat work is progressing nicely, with three balanced paces, great transitions. He is straight, and has a ground covering stride. Been out recently to his first dressage show gaining just shy of 66% with some positive feedback.

He has a bold, scopey jump, making a super shape over a fence, really showing he’s a sports cob with his technique. He has had a hand full of outings doing arena hires, social rides and done some local shows.

He’s good to clip, trim feet (bare foot), handle, catch. Brilliant to hack alone and company. He has a genuine, kind, lovable temperament. Easy to do in always.

Would suit a confident teen, mother/ daughter share, riding club type.
