  • A beautifully put-together, compact gelding
  • Would make a perfect family horse, all-rounder, or safe hack

Denny is a beautifully put-together, compact gelding with a leg in each corner and the sweetest temperament. Rising 4 years, standing at 15.1hh, he’s exceptionally quiet and genuine in every way.

He’s bombproof and straightforward, the type you can trust to take anywhere. Hacks alone or in company, not phased by traffic, farm machinery, or busy environments. Denny has been carefully and correctly brought on, showing a willing attitude and a real desire to please.

Would make a perfect family horse, all-rounder, or safe hack. Ideal for a rider looking for something sane, sensible, and easy to enjoy — you could genuinely put your granny or granda on him!

A real yard favourite and a pleasure to have around.

Open to vetting.

  • Fab 15.3/16h 5 year old chunky registered Irish draught mare
  • Great type beautifully put together
  • Now ready to go and be someone’s horse of a life time

Great type beautifully put together, has done a bit of everything and is now ready to go and be someone’s horse of a life time.

Old head on young shoulders , will hack through the buisiest of roads or biggest of fields alone or in company snaffle mouthed at all times cool as a cucumber.

Doesn’t buck or rear I don’t think she’d even know how to.

A pleasure to have on the yard , causes me no issues and is just a kind easy horse to do in all ways. Not mareish at all.

Can live in or out with mares or geldings or alone.

Well schooled for her age, obviously can be perfected as any 5 year old can be but she’s very straight forward and level headed so will be easily polished off.

Loves to jump , and she’s very good at it!! Hasn’t done overly much jumping as she’s had a nice start to her work not been rushed but honest type who takes a miss and isn’t phased by planks fillers ect.

With more mileage I think she’s make a super event horse as she’s not the tallest horse but she’s a sturdy type and she went on her first hunt recently and was absolutely foot perfect all day long.

Passported microchipped vaccinated wormed up to date with literally everything possible

Good to load catch shoe clip box etc

Super mare who’s chilled for someone to plod about on but has the looks and talent to be a superstar.

First genuine viewer to see will buy

Based Ss132he but can help with transport if needed

  • This would be first time ownership, in 5 star home.
  • Ideally around the 15hh marker. Looking for something priced mid-high 4 figures.

Looking for a genuine, confidence giving horse, to be mine and my 12 year old sisters first one.

The ideal would be kind and reliable with a genuine nature, whilst still being enjoyable to ride rather than a plod.
One that is happy to pop round a course, as well as being an all rounder in hacking, schooling, low level comps and abit of XC.

We have both been riding for around 4 years including a loan horse, helping in local yards, and weekly lessons so very familiar with horse care, and will have support as will be on part livery in a 5 star home. We both adore horses!

Would have to be nice to catch, load and for farrier. No vices.

Can be flexible around height with the right horse, but ideally round the 15hh marker.

Looking for something priced mid-high 4 figures.

  • Seriously fun mare
  • Ideal winter project for any sphere
  • Well put together correct mover

15h 13yo chestnut mare. Green for age but ideal project for alrounder/RC/grassroots eventing/hunt etc.

Ember is a very capable and talented little mare, but is green for her age due to being a broodmare for most of her life. Shes unregistered but I would put a guess on her being a Welsh x tb/wb type.

She is a typical mare and will have a squeal and a tart around. She likes to live in the herd with company, she gets anxious if left alone. Shes on sales livery with me due to a couple of quirks that her current owner doesn’t enjoy. She is by NO MEANS a dangerous mare! But she will have a spin if she sees something she doesn’t like and is allowed to get away with it. She doesn’t do this with me anymore as she’s learnt it doesn’t work.

Her arena work is basic but pleasing. And she’s popping 70/80cm with ease but at the moment she lacks confidence with bigger fences. She has all the ability she just lacks self belief! Ember needs an understanding person who will show her the ropes with firm patience. Shes a really fun ride and she’s not shown any signs of bucking rearing bolting etc.

She will simply spin round if she’s decided she doesn’t want to go past something. Shes done a lot of fun hacking, hound exercise (will hunt in a few weeks with me) xc schooling, sj schooling, fun rides, etc and is now ready to find her forever home where she can do a bit more.

She would suit a home where she can have a basic routine and where she will be ridden at least weekly to keep her brain occupied.

Lily is a beautiful, well-put-together 15.1hh mare with a lovely temperament and a willing attitude. She is currently ridden by two competent 17-year-olds and has shown nothing but honesty and potential in everything she does. She hacks out alone or in company, good with traffic & large farm machinery. She also has lovely manners on the ground, she loads, stands quietly for the farrier, and is regularly handled and ridden on a busy working farm.

Lily is currently jumping 60–65cm, she always try’s her hardest, however sometimes needs an extra squeeze for reassurance as she has only been bought back into work earlier this year. She is never strong to a fence, with a snaffled mouth, shows scope to jump higher and will easily go up the levels with the right rider.

On the flat, she produces a lovely, natural shape with a soft snaffle mouth and three balanced paces. She is showing real promise in her schooling, with a naturally rhythmical way of going and a good attitude. Her movement is correct and attractive, and she will only improve further with continued work and strength-building.

Lily is currently barefoot, but has worn shoes before, she lives on a working farm, and is used to a busy atmosphere. Lily loves attention and will stand happily while being groomed and cuddled. She will live in or out, but has always had daily turnout when stabled. She has had two foals in the past and was ridden before breeding. She was brought back into work earlier this year and has made excellent progress in a short space of time.

Lily is a truly lovely mare with a bright future ahead and would suit a competent teen, or capable adult rider looking to enjoy bringing on a kind, talented horse. No vices, She is good with the farrier, dentist and vet.

Solitaire. 15.2 grey mare. 15 years old. I have owned Soli for over 4 years. We have mainly been happy hackers, over our local forest, and go on regular horsey holidays with friends.

Her previous owner had her for 5 years and did lots of clinics and shows so she has done a bit of everything.

She is excellent in traffic, to catch, load, clip, shoe etc. Hacks very happily in company but takes confidence from her rider if hacking alone.

Soli is very friendly, loves everyone. I am retiring from riding, due to a non horse related injury, so she will come with her made to measure saddle, bridle and rugs.

A truly versatile and fun mare, who is ready to find her new home.

Victoria stands at 15hh and is a real “leg in each corner” type, being able to be ridden by children and adults alike.

She has completed all pony club activities, as well as hunting, beach rides - the lot! She hacks perfectly alone and in company and is the type that doesn’t need riding every day.

She happily lives in or out, and has perfect manners to handle. She is very cheap and easy to keep and displays no typical mareish characteristics - she will turnout with geldings too.

Victoria would make the perfect horse for someone who wants to go out and win at showjumping every week, or equally who just wants to hack a couple of times a week - she really does it all! She is always willing, never silly and a true pleasure to have on the yard. Victoria knows her job and loves it, she fills all of her riders with confidence and puts a smile on their face.

Victoria is very sound and recently passed a 5 stage vetting, she has no vices or blemishes. She is open to any trial or inspection.

Victoria certainly doesn’t look or feel her age, and is ready to fill her new rider with confidence and have fun!

We are looking for a loving home for a mare who genuinely deserves it, she really is the perfect horse and has offered us so much fun.

Lovely ISH mare, dapple grey, 10 year old, 16.2.

Due to promotion at work, I no longer have time for Minnie and she's costing a lot doing nothing in full livery.

We've hacked round fields, roads, boxed up to the woods, done arena hire. She hasn't put a foot wrong.

Extremely friendly mare, not mareish, lovely to handle and loves people. Lives out, comes in every day for hay etc. Good to shoe, clip etc.

Some issues with front feet but sorted now (hence price). Very happy to discuss in more detail. Please message me for info.

Ready to go on and have fun with someone right now.

Skye

16.1h RID with class 1 Breeding by Scrapman out of a mare by Grosvenor Lad. Beautiful true Irish stamp with a kind non marish attitude.

Snaffle mouth at all times, never strong. She has spent the last year with a capable novice doing all low level activities. Has been to local shows and riding club activities.

Very safe unflappable type that would do a riding school job with a lovely rhythmic canter and great transitions. Ridden on the end of the buckle for the past year but if someone spent time teaching her to go on the bridle she would make the most outstanding dressage horse and definitely belongs in the white boards with her 4 white socks that’s paired with her floaty paces. Equally she would make a wonderful working hunter horse.

She has a very sweet and tidy jump. Adores forest rides and is great in open spaces. Skye would cater for most.

Hacks alone or in company, you can even hack her backwards… (see sales video for reference. She also has got you covered from the rain as she’s happy to carry an umbrella too.)

Skye has a lovely temperament, loves a fuss, has been with a 12yo girl for the past year. Very kind, easy and loving.

Clean limbs and blemish free.

Jumping
Been out competing sj and always wins or top 3 minimum. Also done a few small sj classes with novice 7yo boy looking after him faultlessly.
Very honest and bold but also easy just point and kick sort, will look after you if you miss a stride or mess up (I have competed him with broken elbow and wrist and he won the 90!). Will pop a small jump in a trot if asked or pick up the pace and height with more experienced riders. Jumped single fence of 1.50m out training).

Hunted last season and started hound exercise again with us this season with teenage 1st timer, looking after her perfectly. Standing perfectly for drinks and biscuits and also jumping whenever asked. Hung back looking after the kids and gave leads jumping.
Team chasing, took and gave leads.
Schooling has basic lateral work but this does need some more education.
