A lifetime competition horse looking for a quieter life.

Bertie is a true gentleman on the ground and an absolute cuddle machine who loves attention and pampering.

Under saddle, Bertie previously evented at Novice level so is well schooled and experienced. He is a forward-going ride who loves variety but is looking to step down into a lower level competition/riding club role.

Not suitable for a novice – Bertie is strong and knows his job, so he needs a confident and experienced rider (currently ridden by an experienced teenager).

Hacks alone or in company, no vices, travels brilliantly and good for vet, farrier etc
Has stringhalt, but this does not affect his ridden work.

Must go to a 5* home only where he’ll be loved and appreciated.

He’s currently based in Saffron Walden, would like to stay within 1.5 hours of Ipswich.

Please contact Zara on 07979854928.

Brook Mountain. Beautiful, grey, sporty, pure bred Connemara out of Mountain Cascade.

This gorgeous boy was broken at 4 yrs and then not worked until 6 when he was brought into work and we bought him 6 weeks on.

We’ve had him for almost 3 years and brought him on slowly and carefully.

He was professionally schooled weekly for his first year with us and has done pony club, 2 camps, competed SJ, dressage, ODE (always brings home a rosette), seen hounds, beach rides etc. He passed 5* vetting when we bought him and we will happily share this with any prospective buyer.

Open to vet. Never sick or sorry.

Lives out but also happy to be in- on his own or with company. He's a very friendly horse and good to handle, catch, shoe, clip, load, travel, Currently lives in busy village and regularly sees double decker buses, lorries, motorbikes and tractors/trailers and is not phased at all.

Teeth, vaccinations, shoeing up to date. His current jockey is now away at school during the week for A-levels and has limited time. So needs a new jockey now to enjoy him and realise his potential.

No complete novices as he can be strong when he's excited and can throw in a cheeky buck! Tack included.

Vegas is an unusually chilled out TB who everybody I’ve ever let ride him remarks how ‘safe’ they feel on him. He doesn’t look at anything out hacking, jumps confidently around courses with ‘scary’ British Showjumping wings, fillers etc at big unaffiliated shows (Hickstead, Felbridge etc). Confidently jumped everything we asked of him on his first time out XC schooling - absolutely loves it!

He is happy living out 24/7 and just happy hacking. Can be left in field for a month unridden and always just as quiet to get back on as if he were ridden daily. I have had him over two years, keeping him in field at home and on full livery.

He definitely prefers to be out 24/7 in a herd, but stables fine other than minor weaving at feed times and when companions are being tacked up to go out but he isn’t. A new hay net usually settles him just fine.

His slightly wonky conformation has not held him back in any way: winner of 11 flat races including the Brighton Mile, this little horse has SO much heart and retired sound at age 9 after winning his final race. He has travelled all over the country racing -very experienced traveller who loads himself into a 3.5t.

I am looking for an exceptional home for this horse. He will come with full wardrobe including two saddles.

He’d make ideal hack/fun horse, teenager’s first horse, gentle hack/sponsored ride partner etc.

Home truly is more important than price. We are immigrating, so need to know he’s going to be safe, well loved and properly looked after all his days.

Loads of photos and videos available.

15hh 4yrold Class 1 with excellent breeding Gelding Connemara for sale. Carefully and sympathetically started, change of circumstances forces sale

Charlie is a friendly, easygoing boy and has a lovely character. I brought him over from Ireland last autumn. He is not phased by much, used to all farm machinery and has excellent ground manners - my 7yr old can lead him to and from the field. He has been straightforward to start with the groundwork now established. He is happily lunging and long reining in tack and has all the basics firmly in place. Charlie has been leant over, sat on in walk and is ready to be further produced. Charlie travels well, is easy to clip and bath and all his jabs, teeth and feet are all up to date.

I have recently moved to my own place and being on my own and without an arena I am struggling to finish his backing. Very sad sale please no tyre kickers. He is priced to sell and I would like to see him go to an experienced person to help him reach his full potential.

SMART & INTELLIGENT ALLROUNDER PONY IN THE MAKING

Well Put Together 15hnds, 8yo, Grey, Connemara x Cob Gelding who is super intelligent & loves to be involved & to be busy.

Jackson was miss sold out of Ireland & when he arrived was very shut down, nervous of humans & his new family were struggling. I acquired him with all of this disclosed.
Over the last 3 year I have worked with him and is ready for that next step in his development.

Jackson has workman like confirmation & works in my inclined field in walk, trot, canter, over trotting poles & small jumps. He has great potential as a riding club/jumping pony.
I train under the school of “Ecole de Legerete” so Jackson has done a lot of in hand work incorporating work with obstacles with the equitation discipline in mind. He has proved to be very brave.

Jackson good for the farrier & vet.

To enable catching I have always kept him in his own field.

He has hacked out a handful of times at the back end of 2024 but due to lack of time on my part has not done any more – he always stood or walked past cars/vans when asked but he could do with going out with company to further his education in this area.

Jackson is heathy & sound, he's up to date with worming/teeth.

Sad sale as off to university. A good all rounder and happy hacker for someone looking to have some fun. (Recent ODE 70cm came 3rd!)

Good to shoe, load, lunge and clip. Up-to-date with vaccines, physio and dentist.

Can be grumpy if hungry or wanting to go out! So needs to be handled with confidence therefore not suitable for an inexperienced person.

Has had hock injections for mild OA but never been lame.

Currently in/out 50/50 but would be better suited to more turnout as reacted to hay last winter fine on haylage.

She is the perfect horse to go for a blast out galloping and have fun popping some logs one day and a quite hack along the lane another.

Full wardrobe price to be negotiated.

On behalf of his owner due to no fault of his own. Personal circumstances.

Eddie is a stunning approx 15hand, 8 year old tradional stocky cob (feathers have been clipped off). A lovely stocky cob, true to the type. A type very hard to find.

He has done a bit of everything. He has hunted in Ireland where he has jumped all faced at him and proved to be extremely mannerly he has done some hunter trails, sponsored rides etc.

Eddie pops a fence well, he has a lovely forward canter and is very brave. He is a total machine cross country. He loves his job whatever he is doing.

He rides well in the school he has 3 straight uphill paces, a moves very well. He is a forward thinking fun ride in the school, you just squeeze him and he takes you forward, he’s responsive because of this wouldnt suit a novice. Eddie would really stand out in the show ring or be a fun all rounder.

He is perfect to hack alone or in company and great in traffic. He is happy doing whatever is asked of him.

Not a spooky silly type. Lovely to handle on the ground, a pleasure to be around.

No lumps, bumps or vices. A very correct cob. Recently passed a vetting.
