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.

Safe, Genuine Mare - The ultimate happy hack & pleasure ride


Ref #: 402185

  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 15.3 hands
  • Incredible temperament — friendly, affectionate, and trustworthy
  • Eye-catching mare with a lovely presence
  • Hacks out safely and not much phases her
Aredis Yorkshire Rose (Rosie) is a stunning mare with a temperament to match — friendly, confident, and always looking after her rider. She hacks out safely in heavy traffic (I'd never say bomb-proof, but she's close), alone or in company, but as a dominant mare she’s best suited to a capable, experienced rider rather than a complete novice.

She can turn her hoof to a bit of everything, but I feel she would be happiest in a hacking or pleasure ride home, as this is where she really shines and enjoys herself most. She's an intelligent mare and loves variety.

She’s currently in light work after a winter break and just needs her fitness building. She lives out in a mixed herd in summer and in at night in winter.

Rosie is up to date with the farrier, dentist, and vaccinations. She has a slight foot imbalance, easily managed by her farrier, and a small cosmetic scar on her left hind.

This is a very sad sale due to lack of time and rider injury, and finding her a happy, loving home is my priority.

Finn 
Heartbreaking sale of our beautiful family cob

Finn is a real chunky weight carrier, the type you dont see around much

15hh, 14 years (turns 15 in May)

He will make the perfect mother/daughter share, happy hacker, pleasure ride, ideal for someone who would like to plod around several times a week. He is not the type that needs to be worked every day

He will hack alone or in company, first or last. Happy to just walk or will pick up the pace & even pop a small log. Never strong or silly, perfect in the heaviest of traffic

He will be tied up and groomed for hours, he loves a fuss. Not bothered being in on his own or if another leaves. Loves cuddles & scratches. Will do anything for a carrot

He has impeccable manners in the field, will keep him self to himself. Perfect being brought in, never bolshy or domineering at the gate. Currently in a large mixed herd

Finn does not enjoy being in the school & therefore will not be sold to a schooling home

Kept on a very busy yard, tractors coming & going, he regularly goes on the horse walker. Never bats an eyelid

He has been handled & ridden by my twelve year old daughter, never ever strong. He has been the ultimate confidence giver, reason for sale is my daughter now wants to progress to jumping & focus on schooling

Loads & travels wonderfully

Currently barefoot

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

A lovely, straightforward mare ready to find her next home and give someone plenty of fun.

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!

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.

SOLD!
  • Cob

  • 7 years

  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter

Bilbo is well known to us as we sold him as a four year old to his current owner. She has done a bit of everything with him and sent him back to us 14 months ago to find a new home, when push came to shove she couldn’t bare to part with him and she took him home again, shortly after this finding out she was pregnant and so he has been on loan to a local equine college for the past year. Bilbo has decided that college life is not for him and he would like a more varied workload and so has returned to us as his owners family keeps growing and she’s now not in a position to have him home.

Although he has worked in the college riding school he has learnt to get a little cheeky with the novices. Since being with us and being properly ridden again he hasn’t put a hoof wrong. Bilbo has been nicely schooled and works very well on the flat, he’s done some unaffiliated dressage and would enjoy continuing this. He will happily jump round a course of 70/80cm currently, isn’t bothered by fillers, water trays etc. and is brave and genuine. He has had limited XC outings but again is brave and gives a good feeling over a fence. He’s a solid chap and obviously not bred to show jump but gives everything a go and is good fun. I would say a competent novice who wants to do a bit of everything would be ideal for him, hes not sharp or silly but has a brain and found riding school work very boring.

Bilbo loves his hacking both alone and in company, he’s good in open spaces and good in traffic. He needs to find a rider who will give him variety in his work as the more he does the sweeter he is. He hunted in his youth with us and loved it and would love to get out again

Bilbo is very easy in and out the stable, good to box, catch, shoe, clip etc. and happy to live in or out. He’s a nice person to have in on the yard.
