Graffiesta Grey, Mare, ISH x WB by Grafenstolz

Lovely all rounder who is going to make a cracking event horse. Plenty ability for the right jockey!

Three lovely paces, nicely schooled on the flat with all the basics. Would excel in the dressage phase

Although green for age in competition mileage she throughly enjoyed getting out xc training at Ardmedden. Jumping everything first time and showing lots of promise.

Confidently popping round a course of 90 sj. With plenty scope for more.

Has done a few small riding club shows with her owner 

Does need to be kept on a low dose of regumate (on advice from owner) as makes a big difference to her relaxation and temperament. Happy to discuss this with anyone.

Hacks out, good to do. She is a mare who does need someone to work with her

I really like her and with some further producing she will make someone a cracking event horse!

  • A Real Yard Favourite

Sammy is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard - kind, willing, and easy in every way. He has successfully evented up to 3* and is now looking to step down to a more relaxed lifestyle, though he still has plenty of enjoyment to offer his next rider.

He is bombproof to hack, confident in all environments, and nice on the flat. He can be a touch buzzy at times but is never sharp or difficult. Sammy would be ideal for someone wanting to enjoy low-level dressage, polework, hacking, or fun rides.

No vices. Excellent to shoe, clip, load, and handle in all respects.

A very honest advert.

I am ashamed to admit that I do not have the time, money or grass (!) that Arthur needs and I’m seeing if the perfect person is out there for him.

I have had him from a two year old (over from Ireland) and backed him myself. He was always the reliable old head on young shoulders. I used to lead an unbacked 3 year old mare from him as a freshly backed 4 year old.

However over the last year he’s been dealt a rough hand physically and I have recently had a baby, culminating in him having a lot of time off and me having no time to properly give him any attention. He’s gone back in his shell and lost the bond we had which I’m so sad about. He is an introvert and a sensitive soul despite his size and could really do with some 1-to-1. I have two other horses and really struggle to do more than turn in and out with him.

He is currently recovering from a tendon injury, he is field sound but could do with more time off / out I think before being brought back into work. All other veterinary history will be disclosed to any potential homes.

Come spring I’m sure he would be straightforward to bring back into work and hopefully be able to enjoy life ambling around the country side. He is not built for speed really so someone who likes a slower pace of life would be great.

I realise this is the worst time of year to find homes but I physically don’t have enough grass or money for hay to keep him myself. Really hoping he can find his miracle person.

Has travelled in a 3.5ton, trailer and bigger Lorrie’s without a problem.

Red is an absolute gentleman and has been predominantly my daughter’s horse from age 13. He is the ultimate school master and is anyone’s ride.

We have done a bit of everything with him from show jumping to hunting, beach rides to hacking.

His only vice is he can be a monkey to catch-we just keep a head collar on. Numerous pictures and videos can be seen. Will be sold with all tack and full wardrobe.

Daughter unfortunately giving up hence sale.

Joey would make a great family pony.

At approx 15hh he would be a perfect mother/daughter share or teenagers fun horse to do a bit of everything.

He was imported from Ireland last year and slowly and carefully started last winter.

He is now working happily in the school and not fazed by poles, fillers, show jumps. Happy to pop little jumps appropriate for his age.

Hacks out alone or in company, not silly or spooky, used to farm machinery, other livestock and dogs.

He is a genuine character with a lovely willing temperament who is ready to go on to do a wide range of jobs and be a fun, safe little horse.

Currently unshod, happy to live in or out, low maintenance .

Super sweet boy looking to have some fun.

Loves to hack, will go in front and behind and is bombproof in traffic. He is a forward going responsive ride, super easy and a real arm chair.

He is a little green in the arena but works nicely on the bit. Has done some jumping which he really enjoys and tries hard.

Benji is safe, doesn’t buck, rear, bronk but wouldn’t be suitable for a novice or small child.

Done pleasure/fun rides of which he is sensible and sane throughout. Been to village shows showing and was also brilliant throughout.

Good to stable, trim, groom, tack up etc. a little nervous of the clippers but gets better every time.

This horse is the sweetest boy on the planet and really deserves a loving home.

Reluctant sale of a gorgeous 13 year old chestnut mare. This Landor S x Ferragamo mare was bought to be a show jumper but mentally struggled with the bigger fences.

Making use of her fantastic breeding, we put her to foal and she has bred lovely offspring.
Phoebe has been brought back into work, after our decision not to breed anymore and is working well in the flat and jumping small fences with confidence

Phoebe is an easy ride and perfectly safe but is not a beginner’s ride and is ideal for a person looking for a lovely horse with a bit of blood.

She is capable of doing a lovely dressage test, as she is well established.

Good to hack, either alone or with company and exceptionally well behaved when handled from the ground.

She is the yard favourite and has the looks to die for.

Will only sell her to someone genuinely interested in giving her a lovely home, which she deserves.

  • During his time working at the riding school
  • Has had riders of all ages and abilities, including some RDA

We have owned Billy since he was five years old and he has worked in our riding school.

We feel it’s time he retired from this life and got to have an easier more fun life with one owner. Before us he hunted in Ireland.

During his time working at the riding school, he has hard riders of all ages and abilities, including some RDA. He’s absolutely great with the beginner and slows right down. He can also up his game and enjoys to jump.

He has competed and various shows with some of our riders and my husband in Wales. He enjoys cross country and would never stop at a jump or any cross country fence put in front of him.

He’s brilliant Hack will happily lead or go wherever within the ride. Obviously being a riding school we don’t hack alone so I wouldn’t know how we will be however I don’t think that would be a problem.

He’s good in the stable, clip, shoe, travel.

Homes will be thoroughly vetted. We will not sell Billy to a novice or New Owner.

15.3. Beautiful 9yo mare for sale. Clearway bloodlines, full history known as owned since 4yo.

She is a lovely little horse, easy to do and great paces. She is sharp and cheeky so a confident and experienced rider needed. With consistent riding she could excel in dressage or jumping but sadly I can’t commit to this.

Both videos taken within the last week.

This is an opportunity for someone with a limited budget to purchase a talented horse that needs consistency. Home is very very important and will be vetted. No dealers.

She had minor medical treatment in the summer which is reflected in her price. No other vices or issues.

  • A real point-and-shoot type over fences
  • Fantastic eventing prospect

Bambi is a very quiet, kind, and easy mare with a lovely temperament. She schools beautifully on the flat for her age, working in a consistent outline and established in all three paces. Responsive off the leg without being sharp or overly forward, she’s straightforward, willing, and a real pleasure to ride.

She would suit a petite lady or competent teenager looking for a quality partner for hunting and/or eventing. Very well bred, she’s an elegant, eye-catching mare who absolutely floats along under saddle.

Bambi has started her hunting career this season and has already been out with several packs. She has only ever needed a simple snaffle for hunting and is a total buckle ride — never pulls, gets hot, or silly. She stands quietly at the meet, is mannerly with hounds, never kicks, and always behaves impeccably both in company and on her own.

A true point-and-shoot type over fences, Bambi will confidently jump timber, hedges, ditches, or anything else you put in front of her. She’s brave, careful, and always tries her best — making her a super eventing prospect as well as a reliable hunter.

At home, she’s an absolute delight to have around. She’s easy to clip, catch, load, shoe, and handle in every way. Hacks alone or in company, remaining calm and sensible in all kinds of traffic and environments.

All our horses are ridden by a variety of riders and are thoroughly proven across the board — from hunting and hacking to fun rides, beach rides, and riding holidays. We know our horses inside out, and they remain with us for a significant time before ever being offered for sale.

We take immense pride in the careful production of each horse and in the reputation we’ve built for honesty, quality, and genuine, well-mannered animals who go on to give their new owners great confidence and enjoyment.

Grace 12yo 16hh Mare - By Wish Upon A Star / Out of a Marco Polo mare

*On a replacement passport*

Coming back into regularly work. Looking for a firm but loving home due to spending the last 3 years clashing with current owner and developing some minor quirks

Good to hack in company very sweet with traffic could basically put your granny on her

Hacks alone but has had a nap with me leaving on the lane was fine once going I’ve been working on this with a mixture of long reining and having someone follow me out

Previously hacked alone with current owner

She’s not schooling fit so don’t expect Valegro or Big Star a lot of what she has done previously is stored in a box in her mind and will need the right person to dig it out and discover it again with her

She did try testing me in the school the first time but once she worked through it I haven’t had a problem

She thrives off positivity and she’s really changed in the short time she’s been with me purely because I’ve been firm but will tell her she is a good girl for the smallest positive

Currently in a hackamore due to teeth being due next month and I am taking out any potential problem causers

A smart and lovely mare for someone with love, confidence and patience

Would enjoy happy hacking / potential RC home

Untried hunting but could well be the making of her she loves a job

Mild stringhalt seen at rest generally when anxious not seen ridden

Correct home very important
