• Seasoned hunter

Peggy is offered for sale due to us taking a break from hirelings after Christmas.

Throughout the summer, Peggy has been a very popular hireling, taking part in fun rides, beach rides and cross country clinics. She has been a firm favourite, with everyone who has ridden her asking to ride her again.

Peggy previously hunted in Ireland before joining us this summer and has already attended several opening meets this season. She stands impeccably at the meet, without a drop of port spilt, is good with hounds and is happy anywhere in the field.

Peggy is great at nannying children, will ride and lead, and is more than capable of giving others a lead over a fence. Alternatively, she is quite content to stay at the back of the field whilst you enjoy a natter with friends. She will stand quietly on point and is happy to leave the field and hack home alone. Standing quietly on the lorry.

Peggy has been cross country schooled over a variety of fences, including timber, ditches, banks and hedges, and is happy going in and out of water.

At home, Peggy is a pleasure to have on the yard, with absolutely no vices. She hacks quietly alone, does gates and is sensible around livestock, farm machinery and heavy traffic.

She loads and travels well and will stand patiently on the lorry until required.

Peggy is a genuine, versatile mare who would make someone a lovely hunter, Riding Club horse or allrounder.

She would not be suitable for a nervous or novice rider, or an older rider returning to riding after a lengthy break.

A super, kind mare that genuinely looks after her rider. She has plenty to offer and a real pleasure to have around.

TIMMY

15.3hh skewbald Irish cob gelding 6 years

Fun all rounder who has been in a competitive novice home and been and done everything, qualifying for both SJ and XC at sunshine tour level and doing a bit of everything from camps to fun rides and hunting.

Timmy is a solid cob who is quiet to ride, he has been with his owners nearly 3 years and been and done everything with them. From camps to hunting and lots of unaffiliated show jumping. Timmy is a very easy ride, rock steady out hacking alone and in company and would suit most riders. Would suit most riders and is a genuine novice ride. Unfortunately Timmy has got the upper hand with his owners on the ground and they feel in this respect, despite being perfect to ride, he is too much for them to deal with and he’s looking for a new home. We haven’t had any problems with Timmy on our yard but he is professionally managed and not allowed to get away with anything, I’m happy to chat this all through on the phone with anyone before coming to make sure he’s going to the right type of people! He has been very much spoilt and now needs to go to a horse savvy home who won’t spend hours fussing him and giving him endless treats and will simply tell him to get on with it! He’s not a cuddly pet type and prefers his own space with clear boundaries in place. He would be the type of horse that would be perfect for a riding school environment where he is professionally managed as is a very simple novice ride and enjoys his job. He’s no real bother but needs routine and to be managed and treated as a horse.

He loves his jumping and has been out competing in all disciplines from cross poles to 80cm, he’s very genuine to jump and really enjoys it. Loves SJ and XC and will give someone a safe introduction to jumping. Timmy has competed and been placed at the sunshine tour for the past two years with wins and placings. He is a real unaffiliated fun horse.

To hack he is super, goes alone or in company and is excellent in traffic. He’s not strong or silly and does everything in a snaffle. He’s been on many fun rides, hunted, been to the beach etc.

Good to catch ( lives in or out), shoe, load, had a bit of dope for clipping as is a bit ticklish. Just likes his own space and doesn’t want people in his face 24/7!

Price reflects his handling quirks!
