Beautiful Kind Allrounder ID X Connie


Ref #: 399625
  • Great hack
  • Lovely kind mare
  • Soft snaffle mouth
£8,500
  • Grey roan
  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • Great hack
  • Lovely kind mare
  • Soft snaffle mouth

Lovely, kind mare. ID x Connie, rising 5.

I bought Donna Feb 2025 completely untouched and have brought her on slowly and professionally since then. She has been to arena hire outings, xc schooling and attended an endurance ride. She has absolutely not been rushed but has done a little of everything you would expect for her age.

Super to hack, goes alone or in company and leads off another horse. Happily goes first or last.

She is not the sort that needs riding everyday and has a sensible and sane attitude to her work. She is a true allrounder type and I believe she would also make a fantastic hunt horse.

She rides very nicely on the flat, has a soft mouth and is never strong, always in a snaffle. She really enjoys jumping and is proving to be careful. She has jumped round a course of coloured fences and seen small xc jumps.

She will live in or out and turns out with mares or geldings. She was very good to clip.

Donna is a really intelligent mare who is a very quick learner and always tries her best. I have a real soft spot for her, five star experienced home sought. Please call for more information.

7yo 15hh Welsh Cob Gelding Located in Blewbury, Oxfordshire

Bailey is a smart, well produced Welsh cob who has been brought on steadily and has enjoyed his work. He schools nicely, hacks out alone & in company and has a calm willing attitude.

He has attended arena hires, low-level XC training and home show-jumping competitions, where he has won several of his rounds. Bailey is a brave, neat jumper who confidently jumps around 80-90cm, and has popped up to 1.10m with ease. He enjoys his job and is ready to continue progressing with his next rider.

Bailey would make a fantastic, smart all-round type for someone wanting a genuine horse to enjoy — whether for pleasure, fun rides, low-level competing or clinics. He's not a riding school type and deserves a knowledgeable, individual home where he'll be part of the family.

Good to catch, load, shoe and handle.

Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, and farrier. Fit, healthy, and ready for his next chapter.

Patrick is a genuinely unspoilt, rising 4 year old gelding with a wonderful temperament. He is a true “dope on a rope” to lead and handle, and a pleasure to have on the yard. He is currently measuring at 15.3hh and has 10.5” of bone.

He happily lives in or out, and turns out sensibly with both mares and geldings. Patrick has loaded and travelled on a wagon several times without issue, and has been walked out in traffic and seen farm machinery.

Patrick is unbroken, ready for someone to produce their own way. He has a willing nature and steady outlook on life. With his temperament, he could excel as a future allrounder, safe hack, hunter, or even a therapy/RDA type with the right training. He’s a total blank canvas ready for someone to bring out his full potential.

A super friendly, easy going cob who will be a lovely project for someone wanting a genuine youngster with a bright future ahead. Cobs of this size, stamp and nature are increasingly hard to find. Patrick combines height, bone and presence with an exceptionally kind, easy going outlook.

Photos don’t quite capture him, and you’ll need to look past the winter woollies, but he’s going to mature into a seriously smart cob.

The lovely Tally is looking for her new home after a very short and unsuccessful racing career.

Tally is very easy to do in all ways and is a lovely horse to have around. She has a lovely and kind temperament and loves a bit of attention.

Finished racing sound and healthy. She’s had some downtime and is now ready to get cracking with a job. She's a straightforward ride, has good paces and will make a nice all-rounder. She’s just come in from the field and had a little walk and trot under saddle, and she was quite happy. Tally hasn’t done any schooling, show jumping or XC - she is very much a project.

Injury and vice-free. She does have a couple of small sarcoids, none that would interfere with tack.

Good to load and travel, good with the farrier and vet.

Looking for an experienced home that will give her lots of time and love. She wouldn’t suit a novice due to being a young ex-racehorse. Has been led out from another horse recently to start coming back into work. Available from the field due to not being in full work. Please, no timewasters.

Bruno is a fantastic small horse who truly does it all — safe enough for a child, yet talented and competitive enough for an adult.

He has experience across all disciplines, from dressage to hunting, and behaves impeccably in every situation. Wherever he goes, he turns heads with his presence and manners.

Bruno works in a correct, rhythmical way and is schooling towards Elementary/Medium level with lovely balance and self-carriage.

A pleasure to hack both alone and in company. He canters out sensibly in open spaces and is unphased by traffic, although we are based in a quiet village.

An absolute dream to hunt. He was ridden by a teenage girl and behaved impeccably throughout, standing quietly and enjoying the day.

Excellent to load, shoe, clip, catch and handle. A genuine, easy horse to have around the yard.

Bruno is a rare find – a kind, talented and versatile horse who would suit a wide range of riders.

BEAUTIFUL AND RELIABLE ALLROUNDER

  • A lovely all round mare who will give someone years of fun
  • Amazing attitude and enjoys a variety of work
  • Snaffle mouthed at all times

  • Mare
  • 12 years

  • A lovely all round mare who will give someone years of fun
  • Amazing attitude and enjoys a variety of work
  • Snaffle mouthed at all times
Scarlett is a much-loved, 15.1hh 2013 bay mare who has been with us for 10 years. Only for sale as I have two young children and I can no longer give her the time and dedication she deserves. She has been the most enjoyable horse to own and is now seeking a new home where someone can enjoy her as much as we have.

Currently shared between myself and my mum, Scarlett was bought as an unhandled/unbroken project horse in 2016, and has been slowly and carefully produced by us. She has been our family horse and has been used mostly for leisure, flatwork and hacking.

She is a smart, trainable, and honest mare with a genuine desire to please.

She’s well-schooled and works in a soft, consistent outline with 3 established and balanced paces. She would do a lovely test for someone who enjoys dressage.

Snaffle-mouthed, light in the hand, and forward-thinking without being strong.

Scarlett is not a novice ride and requires a quiet and confident rider. She is intelligent and responsive but can be sensitive, so can look to her rider for reassurance. She has real potential to progress further in her training with someone who wants to step her up a level, in a knowledgeable and experienced home.

She has all the ability and attitude to succeed in the right hands. She’s done limited jumping with us and is still green, but has taken to it enthusiastically. Always been sensible when jumped - in capable hands I think she would enjoy doing more of this.

Scarlett is good to lunge and long-rein.

She hacks alone or in company, and is used to moderate traffic including buses and trams.

She is stabled on a working farm with tractors, cows and sheep etc.

She has done farm rides and some clinics — always well-behaved. Safe and sensible to ride in open spaces with a calm, confident rider. Scarlett is happiest in a consistent routine and thrives with regular work. She is not suited to life as a field ornament and is best suited to someone who wants to ride regularly.

Good to shoe, clip, bath, and handle — she is polite in and out of the stable. Loads and travels well (only travelled in a lorry so far). Not suitable for turnout with or next to geldings. Can be turned out alone or with other mares. Currently turned out during the day in summer in a private paddock, and stabled over winter.

Up to date with vaccinations and teeth, and saddler and physio both kept on a regular 6-month checkup. She’s fit, sound, and in regular work, with no vices and her full history known. Ready to go and be enjoyed! She had a single sarcoid removed in September 2024 (inside of her nearside hind leg), which healed without complication. No other sarcoid history and never sick or sorry.

This is an incredibly sad and difficult decision. We are looking for a 5* home where she’ll be truly loved. Genuine enquiries only, please — I would love to stay in touch and follow her journey.
