Topper is an absolutely gorgeous 17h 5 year old bay class one registered Irish Draught gelding.

For sale on behalf of his owner

Topper is one in a million who has so much quality and class combined with the most amazing genuine temperament. He is a very impressive horse who stands out from the crowd and catches the eye. He is a well-bred fully registered Irish draught with 5 generations of pedigree recorded. He is a very good stamp with plenty of bone and substance and a real leg in each corner. Ideal gent or ladies horse. He has excellent conformation and straight movement. He would excel in the show ring in hunter classes. Has shown at Equifest last year in the ridden hunter class where he came 3rd. He is the full package to excel across all riding disciplines which makes him the perfect alrounder. He has also hunted on several occasions last session with the Quorn and South Notts hunt making him an ideal hunter too.

Topper works well on the flat. He has three very good paces that are nicely balanced and comfortable. He is light and soft in the hand and works nicely up to the contact from between leg and hand. He works in a nice outline for a more competent rider and equally rides around with a level head carriage for a rider not interested in riding him into the contact. He is ridden in a snaffle for everything expect for hunting where he went in a 2 ring universal. He is on the steady side of medium to ride in the school where you need to use your leg to keep him going and push him up to the bridle. You haven't got to be a technical quiet rider to ride him, he will take a kick and a wobble. He isn't a novice ride though as he is big young horse so still needs producing further to reach his potential, but he has a lot to give and would go out and do a nice preliminary dressage test now with more to come.

Topper loves his jumping and makes a nice shape. He is nicely forward going into a fence and is very honest and genuine to jump. He jumps all fillers and water trays first attempt confidently. He is very ridable around a course of fences. He has currently jumped around 80cm courses at arena hires. He has also attended some riding club clinics which he has really enjoyed. He isn't always the most careful over coloured poles but he likes to have a go. He has also been xc schooling where he proved to be very genuine and jumped over a ditch and went straight through the water as well as jumping all the usually xc fences. He respects solid fences well. He jumped some big hedges and timbres when out hunting so does have the scope there.

Topper is lovely to hack out in company, he hasn't gone out alone yet as both myself and his owner are based on busy roads and with him only being young we have been taking him out with another horse. He is good in traffic. If a lorry comes past we turn him into a gateway so he can stands well and watches it pass with a little space. He is very sensible in open spaces and not at all sharp or silly. He will go in any order within a group where he is very mannerly and will canter happily in any order. He has attended some pleasure rides where he has always been very well behaved. He has also been to the beach where he loved cantering along the beach and having a splash in the sea. He would be very ideal for someone wanting a straight forward fun horse to take on pleasure rides. He would also be very much suited to a hunting home. He has been hunted on several occasions by a man and also by a competent teenage girl. He stands very well at the meet and goes along well in the field.

Topper has a friendly and kind temperament. He is lovely to have around and very easy to handle. He puts a smile on your face every day. He loves people and will make soone an amazing best friend. He is always good to catch and lead in. He loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. He lives in and out and is happy be turned out next to or in with other horses. He is great to shoe, wash and clip. He loads perfectly and travels well in a lorry or trailer. He is a very easy horse to load, travel and go off to an event on your own, he is also very straight forward to ride at new places. He really is such a genuine honest horse who deserves the best of homes.

Topper is a good fun allrounder that will have a go at everything. He would excel in a hunting home, he would also be ideal for pleasure rides and hacking and he would be a good riding club allrounder too. This is a sad sale for Toppers owner that has owned him since he was 6 months old so full history is known. He sadly doesn't have the time for him anymore. He is very sound and healthy and open to vettings. He does have a small sarcoid under his groin which has stayed the same for over a year and doesn't affect him. It's actually started to shrink recently since being fed radiance gold. This is reflected in his price and with no horse being perfect this is a small price to pay for a quality genuine horse.

Oversized full up 16h 5y Part bred Connemara gelding.

By the very popular Connemara performance stallion, Ross Fear Bui, out of an Earl of Newbridge dam.

Perfect for someone wanting the versatility and temperament of a Connemara but with a bigger stride and frame.

Moves beautifully on the flat and loves to jump!

He has been started perfectly. I have taken my time with him being a big lad. He has now been to plenty of clinics and training shows.

He effortlessly won his first go at a novice working hunter at my local agricultural show, and was also awarded overall hunter champion!

He has the versatility to turn his hoof to any discipline and has had a nice varied start to his education. He has also been out hound exercising over winter.

He is a true Connemara in a sports horse body. He really is in a class of his own and is a really fun horse to work away with.

He’s polite and mannerly both on the ground and onboard and is the dream horse to deal with in all ways. My children love helping me with him.

I take him everywhere on my own and he will quietly stand on the wagon and wait his turn.

He has done plenty of hacking both alone and in company. He lives in or out with mares or geldings and is happy to be left on the yard on his own.

Clean limbs, perfectly conformed, with absolutely no lumps, bumps or vices.

He is a seriously special horse and will undoubtedly be someone’s horse of a lifetime.

Perfect for an amateur wanting a very talented and capable young horse with a brilliant brain to have lots of fun with. Would make a fabulous eventer, riding club, working hunter.

I am very lucky to have found him, as a horse of this calibre, with no imperfections, and a brilliant temperament is like gold dust, so a 5 star home is a must for this special horse.

IDSH mare by Holsteiner stallion. Stands 17.3hh. 13yrs. Mare is an outstanding mover. 

Has previously competed at RI and HOYS in Working Hunters. She has hunted. I took her to a couple of dressage competitions in the early winter and she did fine.

She is good in traffic and is a fun forward hack that could turn a hoof to lots of things with an experience. 

Good in the stable and to box. I've not clipped her but apparently she is fine.

She has been turned out since February and is sold out of the field. Please do not ask to come and ride her. I do not have any ridden videos but there are plenty of photos.

Mare has a very slight shiver but is ok to shoe behind. There are a couple of very small melanomas and flat sarcoids. Vets view was they issues are unlikely to cause a problem but price reflects these issues. 

She would suit an experienced rider on a budget who wants to have some fun.

If I had time I would bring her up into work but work commitments are getting in the way.

Honest advert for a much-loved horse – home is my absolute priority

This horse has truly been my best friend. He took me from jumping 70cm at 13 years old right through to 1.30 - we happily competed together for three years.

However, our journey hasn’t been without its challenges. After a fall (through rider error) at the second part of a double, it knocked both our confidence more than I realised at the time. Over the past 18 months I’ve tried to rebuild that confidence, but he is such a sensitive horse that he knows I’m not quite the same rider with him anymore.

I bought a new show jumper a year ago, and sadly my relationship with him has faded since. Over the winter I made the very difficult decision to turn him away for six months and start looking for the right new home – which is far more important to me than anything else.

He is currently being brought back into work and is the same genuine boy. Everyone who meets him falls in love with his character – he genuinely thinks he’s either a big dog or a person! He is a princess and loves attention.

I feel his ideal home would be with a confident, keen teenager or rider who wants to have fun and build a partnership, but not necessarily to go up the ranks. He hacks beautifully alone or in company, is happy to lead or follow, is a great babysitter for youngsters and absolutely loves beach rides. He is also good to lunge and enjoys schooling.

While his background is in show jumping, I don’t feel his heart is in the bigger tracks anymore – otherwise I would keep him. He has three lovely paces and would suit someone interested in lower-level show jumping (up to around 1m), combined training, or preferably all-round riding mother / daughter share

He enjoys being in work and is too good to be left in a field 24/7.

Open to sensible offers as I am relocating abroad.

We have had tango since she was a 3-year-old after proving she was not cut out for racing. After only 2 races.

Since we have had Tango, our daughter rode her just having fun taking her on lots of hacks, school/pole work etc, and she showed willing and is eager to please. She loves fuss and is easy to handle. And was proving she would make a great ROR for somebody.

We decided to turn her out for 12 months to give her time to mature and have a break. In the meantime, we bought an experienced showjumper, and my daughter is now too busy with qualifiers to bring tango on to her full potential. We our looking for a loving home who has the time to carry where we left off.

**Available at a reduced rate before we bring her in and start doing work with her again, which will increase it.*.

A smashing, scopey gelding who loves to shines in a competition environment

Champ is a 15.1h, 4yo purebred Connemara gelding who loves to jump. We have yet to find a fence he is afraid of!

He has been competing as training shows with us and clearly loves it, he has proven himself to be extremely honest and brave in the ring. He requires zero prep and behaves perfectly in new places and hectic warm up rings

Champ also enjoys cross country schooling and keeps his ears forward for ditches, drains, coffins, and water jumps.

We think due to his competitive ability, he would best suit a young rider working with a coach, or someone capable of producing him in a program to develop as an eventer

He has a gorgeous uphill canter that easily covers horse strides, and has started learning his flying changes. He always goes in a loose ring snaffle and does not get strong before a fence

Champ is an athletic type, with slightly more “go than woah” paces. He is a super fun, sporty ride for those who enjoy event types. He is very easy to ride in the contact, and never hot, strong, or playful. He has a serious work ethic for his age.

Champ is easy to catch, load, tie, bathe, plait, and hack alone. He is good with traffic and gets along well with other horses. He has no vices, lumps or bumps

He is open to any vetting

Destiny - A straightforward, experienced Allrounder with a patient and forgiving disposition to suit an amateur or mother/daughter share

Destiny is a 15.1h, 4yo Class 1 purebred Connemara mare with lots of experience in a variety of disciplines

She has been competing in unregistered showjumping classes, and working hunter classes and proven herself very honest and calm on course in new places.

She has been hunting with the Galway blazers, done beach rides and road hacks with groups and stays cool in hectic environments.

She has been cross country schooling several times and remains unflappable to natural obstacles and water

She is not mareish in any way and gets along with other horses well

She always goes in a snaffle, will jump from any distance given, and does not get hot, sharp or strong before or after a fence. She is extremely uncomplicated to ride, and steady to ride around a course at a show. For this reason, we feel Destiny would best suit a mother/daughter share, or an adult amateur looking for a trustworthy riding club partner

  • Green but genuine – ideal for an experienced rider to produce
Dennis is a quality young horse with all the attributes to develop into a top-level eventer. Having been given time to mature, he was only recently broken and is therefore still green, but showing all the right signs for a very exciting future.

He works beautifully on the flat with three balanced, expressive paces and a naturally uphill way of going. He has a soft, trainable attitude and is already proving to be a rewarding ride for a capable rider.

Over a fence, Dennis shows an excellent natural technique — careful, athletic, and scopey. Combined with his presence and movement, he has all the ingredients to progress through the levels in the right hands.

Due to his age and stage of education, Dennis is not suitable for a novice and will require a confident, knowledgeable rider to continue his production. However, for someone experienced, he represents a fantastic opportunity to produce a high-quality young horse with serious potential.

Dennis is a genuine, talented prospect who, with time and correct training, has all the makings of a top-class event horse.

Izzy is a part bred Welsh mare who has been in the same home with us for the past nine years. She is really nice natured and loves to please. Clean limbed, very attractive mare with showing bloodlines. She has done all round activities with me including unaffiliated dressage, show jumping and cross country on BE tracks. She is well schooled and understands lateral aids, walk to canter etc. She is nice to school - forward going without running from the hand or leg. As she is now 17, she is looking for a home where she can enjoy going out to the occasional show, hacking, and/or a bit of jumping.

She enjoys pleasure rides, she is great to hack in company, she takes confidence from her rider when hacking alone. We have off road hacking so I can't comment on what she would be like in traffic. She is good to shoe, clip and catch. For travelling she is better loading onto a lorry than a trailer but will load onto a trailer with a training halter. She travels well on both.

Genuine reason for sale. She is better with unrestricted turn out and shelter and for this reason I won't sell her to a home with limited turn out. She turns out well with both mares and geldings and is nice natured in the field. She is currently coming back in to work after a winter break. She is a kind mare but not for absolute novices. Happy to discuss her past veterinary history.

She is a lovely mare and I'm really just looking for a kind, experienced home for her. Good home is much more important than price. Price to include some rugs and tack is available by separate negotiation. Based near Thetford Forest.

Jemima , 15.1hh 5yr old Irish cob mare. Nice stamp , well marked with a leg in each corner. Potential hunter / alrounder / riding club.

Jemima has been with us for a couple of months now , previously been in the same home since a 2yr old. She has done lots of hacking with us , alone and in company , good in all traffic including busses farm machinery bikes etc.

Super easy in open spaces. She has been on farm rides and enjoys xc schooling. She makes a nice shape over a fence and really enjoys it. Her flatwork is improving all the time , she has 3 nice paces , she enjoys her work and has potential to produce a nice dressage test. She can work in a nice shape but not the finished article just yet. We have taken Jemima out to arena hires , she has jumped a small course of showjumps and not phased by fillers.

She is easy to take out , loads and travels well and stands on the box well alone.

Easy to shoe , bath , clip etc. She can sometimes be tricky to catch in a big mixed herd , but we feel with a 1-1 home or maybe just more of a routine this will improve. At the moment she isn’t getting loads of work due to having so many breakers in.

She’s happy being ridden once a week or every day. Jemima has no vices lumps or bumps. She isn’t a novice ride as she is forward going and still green in places. She will need a balanced rider , she has never bucked reared etc but she is a nicely responsive ride. She can sometimes be a bit impatient when asked to stand once ur on , but stands at the mounting block like a rock.

Get on and go sort of a cob! Lovely summer project for someone , she has all the basics there just needs finishing off and would really thrive in a 1-1. Someone will have loads of fun with this cob!

Attractive dark bay Warmblood gelding with two white socks and a distinctive moon-shaped facial marking. Quality dressage-bred with Donnerhall and Rubinstein bloodlines, offering three expressive paces and plenty of potential for a rider looking to further his education, in dressage or as an all rounder.

Still relatively novice in his schooling, he has already achieved pleasing results at low-level dressage competitions and continues to show great promise. He will jump and is willing enough, just sadly not to jump the heights originally hoped for.

Sensible to hack in company and generally straightforward to manage. He has attended arena hires and shows, travelling in a 3.5-tonne horsebox, and is gaining confidence with loading. Good to handle, shod all round and turns out happily with others.

He does crib, which is reflected in the price.

A genuine and much-loved horse seeking a knowledgeable home that will continue his education and develop his potential. Only for sale as rider's ambitions are focused on affiliated showjumping, making this a difficult and genuine sale.

Loving, experienced home essential. Please message for further information or to arrange a viewing.

Ivor is the loveliest , easiest gentleman that needs to find his forever home . He is a super hack in company and alone front or back, any where past anything .

He is happy in the stable or the field and is very sociable. Ivor really does love other horses and company.

In his previous home Ivor jumped up to fox but I have only used him to hack. He can occasionally spook in the school and is more suited to someone who will enjoy hacks and fun rides.

No beginners / novice riders please.

He has a slight shiver far hind which has never got worse and does not effect him in anyway. He has passed two 5 stage vetting.

Ivor is good to shoe, clip,load ect and up to date with everything.

Open for vetting.

Stardust is such a lovely pony, never nasty, will lick you all day long.

11 years old by Kylebeck Crespo. He is a lovely chestnut / slightly roan in places with striking markings and his well known white feather display on his o/s flank.

Very well shown in hand and sired many foals before being cut for his ridden career. We have had him for just over 3 years and really don't want to sell him but my daughter has changed jobs and the hours and days have made it impossible to ride and show any ponies. This is so sad as he is at his best now. Advertised him before, took him off because so many of the wrong people ringing, he is loved and will only go to the right home.

You can take him into the buziest rings and he never get hot or edgy, pouring rain, heavy mud.

Never strong, ridden on light contact, Big softy , easy to do , totally home produced , perfect confirmation, has a glass like coat in the summer and very little in winter.

Lives in and out happily, good with others, farrier, travel.

Can be found easily on the internet.

1st Devon County 2024

2nd in couple of RI qualifiers

Should easily go out pick up his tickets if you want to show but he loves a varied life.

Stardust is so loved he will not be sold to anyone, he deserves the best of homes. He is priced to sell not put up for a silly figure. His Black country saddle available at extra cost.

Location Somerset, 3 miles from junction 23 of M5

Ring and ask anything but don't want text warriors and I will not hold conversation on text messages, have some respect.

Really fun little horse, spent the winter hedge hopping out hunting. Then team chased like a star and has evented up to 90cm and done a bit of everything.

Hacks alone or in company.Good to shoe ,clip etc. Up to date with vacations, teeth and chiro.
Just wants to go have fun with a confident jockey. Being a thoroughbred no novices. Good around kids and has dressed up as a unicorn for birthdays.

Can be mareish in the stable but nothing nasty. Has got a few sarcoids that don't cause any problems.Currently traveling by trailer

Sad sale due to no fault of her own she has been my best friend for years.

Based in Northamptonshire
