Meet Queenie - It’s time for Queenie to find her next best friend

Queenie is a stunning 16.1hh, 7-year-old Shire × Irish Sport Horse mare, with a lovely middleweight stamp. She is a forward-going but safe ride, giving her rider confidence and enjoyment in everything she does.

She loves to hunt, jumping or non hunting , happily hacks for hours either alone or in company, and is sensible and mannerly on the roads.

Queenie also enjoys popping a jump and moves well, with the potential to produce a very nice dressage test with a bit more flatwork.

STRAIGHTFORWARD AND FUN ALLROUNDER

  • Great allrounder / future grassroots event horse / mother daughter share
  • Uncomplicated and genuine, would be competitive in any sphere
  • Incredibly laid back and easygoing personality

Willow is a joy to have around and easy to do in all ways. She has the attributes to excel in any sphere, and offers the perfect balance having seen enough of the world for her new rider to crack on, but equally has not been rushed.

She has been to arena hires where she has taken everything in her stride, never once thinking to stop / run out, and happily popping over all sorts of jumps. She is not in the slightest way spooky, and always extremely sensible and a joy to take out.

Willow has also been XC schooling which she loves, and is excellent with water, ditches, steps etc, completing her first hunter trial with a clear. Willow has also been hunting at a busy closing meet where she again behaved impeccably, standing very well, and feeling very safe. She is complemented wherever we go with it being easy to forget you’re sat on an 4yo!!

Willow hacks out very confidently alone or in company, is never strong, and excellent in all sorts of traffic. She is very independent and happy to leave her friends to hack back home and also loves the beach! She is snaffle mouthed at all times and always very polite.

Willow is good to catch, clip, load, shoe etc - anyone can look after her on the ground and she has no stable vices. She’s very level headed and is the type that you can give a few days off and get back on with no problems.

Willow has been straightforward at every stage and a pleasure to ride. In a perfect world she wouldn’t be going anywhere however A Level commitments before university force sale.

Although Willow is a very safe and sensible mare for her age, she’s not for a novice or nervous rider and I would like to ensure that wherever she goes she will be able to progress in her education and fullfill her potential in a knowledgeable home.

  • Geldings only, no thoroughbreds thank you

Looking for a kind sensible gelding who can enjoy hacking, fun rides and beach rides. Needs to be 15.2 at least and nothing too fine as occasionally my husband likes to ride ( he is a fabulous rider but bit taller and heavier than me) .

#I have a little herd of geldings who are spoiled rotten and live out most of the time at home but just lost my lovely older hacking boy who had been with me for years. This will be a forever home and he will be much loved. ( live in Somerset)

  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Beryl has lived happily within a mixed herd and is sociable with other horses. She benefits from a structured routine and positive, consistent training to help her understand what is being asked of her. Beryl is happy to live out 24/7 or part stable.

Storme is a truly lovely ISH x ID mare, now seeking a non-ridden companion home after retiring from her ridden career. She has a wonderfully affectionate nature and quickly becomes a favourite wherever she goes. Storme enjoys human company, loves a good fuss, and stands beautifully for grooming—she’s the kind of mare who really appreciates attention and gives it back in her own quiet, sweet way.

She currently lives out 24/7 in a mare herd, where she settles well and keeps harmony within the group. She’s equally content part-stabled, making her easy to accommodate on different yards. Storme is good to catch, lead, groom and to have her feet picked out with a confident handler. Once she trusts her new surroundings, she will happily share a hay pile with her field mates.

Storme would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a calm, kind and genuinely lovable equine companion.

Dream is a lovely Thoroughbred mare who has been patiently waiting for her forever home since arriving with us in October 2025 from an Irish horse charity. An ex-racer with a gentle heart, she is now ready to enjoy a calm, companion-only life.

She is sweet-natured and affectionate, enjoys grooming, and forms lovely bonds with her people. While she can feel a little anxious in new situations at first, Dream settles well with quiet, consistent handling and soon shows her kind, steady nature.

Dream lives out happily in a mixed herd and would be best suited to a home where she can continue living out. She isn’t a fan of traditional stabling, so an open barn or free access to shelter will suit her best.

Dream is looking for a peaceful, understanding home where she can truly relax and feel secure. She has been waiting a while for the right person – could that be you?

This gorgeous mare was shown lightly at county level last year with great placings. She is super correct with 3 very good paces and outsantanding canter !! She was ridden for a few months last year then turned away to mature.

She is lovely and light with snaffle mouth, has hacked on her own and in company, behaved impeccably at shows, good to box, catch, feet trim etc. She is ready now for someone to make their own to show or general all round riding. She is 4yrs old so please no time wasters or joyriders as this is a very special.

She has high value to the breed herd after her ridden career is done, she was inspected and accepted into Class 1 of the IDHS stud book as a 2yr old. Her pedigree contains some of the most prolific show winning mares and stallions of genetic value.

16.1hh rising 6 year old, Irish Cob X bay gelding.

This kind and genuine horse is a real pleasure to have around. He is extremely mannerly both ridden and on the ground and is good to do in all ways.

He is really well schooled, coupled with 3 straight, correct and active paces and is snaffle mouthed at all times. He’s ready to go out and do a dressage test, and has started working on some basic lateral work at home.

He has been out and about to some unaffiliated competitions, clinics and arena hires and is always a pleasure to take out.
Will happily pop around a course of jumps with a lovely brave, willing and honest attitude.

He is fit and ready to go, and will make someone a fantastic all rounder for the upcoming season to have some fun with. Whilst still being young enough for someone to put their own stamp on.

Good to hack, box, for the farrier and to clip. No lumps, bumps or vices.

5 star home wanted for this special lad, a sad sale due to family commitments.

No loans or LWVTB

Cisco is a lovable, kind boy looking for his best friend to enjoy lots of cuddles and have fun. This lovely homebred chap has been professionally backed and schooled and is ready to get out there and strut his stuff! He is an absolute sweetheart to handle, great to load on the horsebox, currently unshod as fab feet and good for the farrier, and fine with the vet.

He has been schooling really well, quick to learn, can do a nice leg yield and a shoulder in. He is full brother to our lovely Frank who is currently competing and winning at Advanced Medium dressage.

We have jumped him a couple of times and he absolutely loved it! He has hacked in company around our gallops and was well behaved when cantering with others.

Cisco has been to arena hires and was a really good boy.

We think he would be perfect for a competent amateur who wants a little pocket rocket to do a bit of everything.

Has a slightly larger right hock (Full X-rays and scans available) just cosmetic and not been lame and has had some small sarcoids that have been lasered in the past. This is reflected in his price.

Due to his age no novices and 5 star homes only please.

  • Dapple grey, a real eye-catching type

Handsome 15hh, 5-year-old cob gelding. Dapple grey, a real eye-catching type with lots of potential in the right hands.

He is backed and riding away, but still green and requires further education. In the school he can nap towards the gate if allowed, but improves with a consistent and confident rider. Out hacking he can be spooky due to lack of mileage and takes reassurance from his rider. He has previously hacked out sensibly and will benefit from someone confident to continue his education.

On the ground he will need a knowledgeable and experienced handler. He has recently been diagnosed with mild, early-stage CPL and mallenders, which are currently being managed with creams, washing, and regular clipping (legs clipped under sedation). He can be sensitive behind and has been known to kick out when handling his hind legs, so requires calm, confident handling. This is reflected in his price, as in the right hands he has the potential to make a lovely ridden horse. I am happy to disclose his full medical history.

He is currently based on a busy livery yard and is well handled day-to-day. He is in a herd of geldings and has previously been turned out in mixed herd.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved horse, but he is not the right match for me. He would suit an experienced home looking for a rewarding project.

Serious enquiries and experienced homes only. I have lots of photos and videos on request.

Imported from Ireland as a rising 4yo.

Has previously won at BD Prelim.  He’s a lovely, boy who gives his best, but he’s much more at home hacking than schooling. Good in traffic, enjoys a steady pace and is happiest exploring the lanes, fields, and bridleways.

Stabled on a small farm so use to tractors, busy roads seen lorries, dogs, he takes it all in his stride. Hacks alone or in company. He’s a sweet, willing lad who would suit a confident, sympathetic rider wanting a safe hacking partner with some schooling ability.

He does pop a jump, but due to a hind leg injury, (latest scans available to buyer to view) is now suited to hacking and light schooling only. Currently being ridden three times a week. He’s sound and happy in this lifestyle.

Good to clip, catch, farrier, teeth, fully Vaccinated, lives in/out. loads/travels well either trailer/lorry, easy to handle, loves fuss.

Home very important than price, Happy to discuss injury to buyer.

Unique opportunity to acquire a mare who could be AI’d while she is based at Twemlows for the next couple of weeks. Foaled 6th April so ready for someone to use themselves within the next two weeks or so.

Easy foaler, takes first time. Has full breeding history with Twemlows. Is a great mother to all her x4 foals on the ground, she has delivered quality foals with no complications.

Was professionally broken and ridden away prior starting her breeding journey. Is unphased by all types of traffic, hacks alone or in company. Has no affiliated competition history. Travels well. Has been to multiple venues, clinics, country parks. Easy to do in all ways, has great stable manners although prefers to be out as much as possible. Enjoys grooming, bathing etc. Low/cheap maintenance type horse who holds her weight.

Is up to date with worming, vaccinations, dentist etc.

This horse has always had the very best so a true forever home is most important where she can continue to be a broodmare or be a happy hack for a lightweight rider.

A very sad sale but i’ve come to realize I have too many to manage on my own. I have owned her since being imported into the UK 6years ago.

Does have a medical history therefore would not pass a vetting. However is more than capable of a light hack / broodmare home. Has no ongoing medical costs.

Depending on type of home a contract would be drawn up should she be AI’d while at Twemlows or available to a ridden home after weaning.

Fun, clever and safe Spanish gelding with established trick training and a brilliant temperament

Barack - 9yo Spanish gelding 14.3hh Grey

Located near Bradford, West Yorkshire. Genuine reason for sale due to his owner being pregnant so unfortunately she has no time for him anymore.

Priced fairly (mid-high 4figs)- considering his level of training and what a fab all rounder he is because a 5* home is more important.

Barack is a fun and clever Spanish gelding with a brilliant brain and a huge personality. He is a firm favourite on the yard. He is an easy, straightforward ride and is a really lovable, goofy character who enjoys interacting with people and being part of whatever is going on around him.

He has mainly been used for trick training and hacking, where he absolutely excels, and he is a very rewarding horse to work with. He is sensible, straightforward and easy to ride with excellent manners under saddle. I’d trust anyone on his back. The rare kind of horse that will step it up for someone who knows what they’re doing but will happily plod round with a child on his back!

He goes when you ask him to go and comes straight back when you ask him to stop, making him enjoyable and safe without being lazy. He is snaffle mouthed and has a nice way of going.

Trick training (He does these both on the ground and while ridden)

• Bow
• Lie down
• Sit
• Spanish walk
• Leg extensions

Barack really enjoys interacting with people and I would love for him to continue progressing with someone interested in trick or liberty work.

Flatwork & riding

• Basic ridden in the school- walk, trot and canter
• Easy transitions up and down
• Stands to mount and will stand like a rock while you get yourself organised.
• Snaffle mouthed with great brakes, stops on a whistle.
• Very straightforward and simple to ride

Jumping

• Super scopey jump, he picks his knees and back legs up beautiful and shows great potential! He would make a great showjumper for a teenager.
* Happily rides round a course and always remains rideable between fences
• Great to pop coloured fences and fillers and I’ve jumped a couple of ditches with him out hacking which he really enjoys. I think he will be fab out hunting
• Brave and willing attitude, genuinely enjoys jumping- will take himself over jumps when free schooling

Hacking

• Hacks alone and in company
• An amazing horse to hack
• Sensible and level headed but not a plod
• Goes forward when asked and comes straight back when you ask him to stop
• Unphased by traffic, not a spooky horse. He may have a look at things on the side of the road but will go straight past drama free.

Handling & management

• Good to catch, currently turns out in a large mixed herd.
• Good for the farrier
• Good to bath
• Loads and travels well
• Barefoot with good strong feet, was previously shod but has been barefoot for 12 months and copes well.
• Up to date with dentist, farrier and physio
• Happy living in or out

Barack does have a quirk where he sometimes sticks his tongue out to the side of his mouth. He does this in his stable and whilst ridden. This has been checked by both vet and dentist and is simply his habit when he’s bored- does not affect him in any way.

Barack would suit a range of homes- he would be amazing for someone wanting to continue his trick or liberty work, but he would also make a great allrounder or family horse for someone wanting a fun but sensible horse to enjoy.

Clean legged and sound. Open to any vetting.

No tack included.
No loans or trial periods.
Viewings and vettings welcome.
Mid-high 4s.
Please text or call for more information.

Please no joyriders, I have no doubt that the first to seriously view this horse will buy- he’s a cracking little horse. Many more photos and videos available on request.
