Really sweet 6yrs Mare by Damian

  • 3 well established paces and super temperament

Demi is a beautifully put-together young mare by Damian (AES stallion), an Anglo European Studbook stallion with an impressive pedigree that includes top showjumping lines such as Quick Star and Indoctro. With her excellent breeding, kind temperament, and straightforward way of going, Demi is a quality allrounder suited to a variety of riders and homes.

On the flat, Demi is working well in the school with three established, balanced paces. She maintains a soft, consistent contact and would confidently go straight out at prelim level, where she is sure to produce an accurate and obedient test.

Demi has attended a number of training shows and clinics, most recently competing in a British Novice on a ticket at Elms Farm. She is an easy, willing ride who is unfazed by fillers and always tries her best, happily jumping from a missed stride. Currently jumping comfortably around 90–100cm, she shows plenty of scope to progress further.

She has also had a taste of cross-country, confidently jumping logs, ditches, and other natural obstacles. Brave and genuine, Demi takes everything in her stride and would be well suited to eventing.

Out hacking, Demi is reliable both alone and in company. She has been exposed to farm and village traffic, is sensible in open spaces, and does not become strong or excitable.

Demi is easy to handle in all respects—good to catch, clip, load, and shoe. She has a friendly, affectionate nature, is not mareish on the ground, and is a pleasure to have on the yard.

5* home is essential for this super mare.

Milo is a lovely 9-year-old black cob who has been primarily used for hacking throughout his life, and he truly excels in this area. He is incredibly reliable and enjoyable to ride, both alone and in company, making him a perfect partner for someone looking for a safe and steady hack.

Since being with us, Milo has been schooling more with us and has taken to it very well. He is willing and tries his best, although his previous owner found him a little on the slower side in the school. We’ve now got him going nicely forward. He has recently started jumping and has proven to be straightforward and honest, though he is still a little green in this area for his age and will benefit from continued education.

Milo would be ideal for a leisure, happy hacking home, or for someone looking to continue his schooling and enjoy bringing him on further in all areas.

Milo has a kind and gentle nature, making him a pleasure to have around both on the ground and under saddle. He is a real sweetheart who enjoys attention and would make a fantastic all-rounder or best friend.

This is a very sad sale due to his owner’s health condition, so finding him the right home is extremely important.

  • “Straightforward, easy young horse to produce”

Crester arrived from Ireland towards the end of last year in lean condition, so he has been given time to strengthen up with plenty of hacking and steady feeding over the winter, alongside light, intermittent work. He has now come back into a more consistent routine and is progressing nicely.

While still a little green for his age in terms of experience, this is mileage not ride ability.  He is a genuine and uncomplicated type.

Established in the basics on the flat he moves very well 

Recently introduced to jumping, happily popping small fences showing potential 

Hacks alone and in company

Moves well with natural presence and plenty of scope loose jumping

Kind, easy temperament and straightforward to handle

Crester is an honest, easy horse to continue producing, ideal for someone looking to put their own stamp on a quality young horse.

He was vetted upon purchase. He holds a white Irish passport, with only one side of breeding recorded.

A genuine sale to a home wanting to continue his education is preferred. However, we are equally happy to keep him and further his progress over the summer.

Serious enquiries welcome priced to sell.

5yo 16hh Irish Sports Horse Gelding, stunning steel grey

He is a striking 5-year-old Irish Sports Horse gelding standing approximately 16hh, with full recorded traditional breeding. He is a quality young horse with the talent, scope, and attitude to progress up the levels, making him an exciting prospect for a competent rider looking for a future eventer, showjumper, or quality allrounder.

He is a forward-going, athletic horse who shows excellent natural ability over a fence. He has already been introduced to both show jumps and cross-country fences, where he has proven to be careful, bold, and scopey, naturally taking you to a fence with confidence. He has also attended a number of unafliated shows, gaining valuable experience away from home.

On the flat, he is established in walk, trot, and canter on both reins and continues to improve with his schooling. He has a trainable attitude and a willing outlook, giving him the potential to develop into a very smart competition horse or even a future schoolmaster with further mileage.

He hacks happily alone or in company and is sensible out and about. He has seen farm machinery and is good in traffic, proving to be level-headed for his age.

He is well mannered on the yard and easy to have around. He is good to tack up, stands quietly to be mounted, and has a kind, genuine temperament. On the ground he is easy to handle, good for shoeing, clipping, grooming, and leading to and from the field.

This is a genuine young horse with a bright future, but due to his forward nature and age he is not suitable for novices. He would thrive with a confident rider looking to produce a talented young horse.

Melman has been competing at BD Elementary(BD HALONA BUBBALICIOUS), training at home up to Advanced Medium with ease.

His main discipline is Dressage, but has done occasional jump/XC schooling which he has been genuine and fun. 

Melman is a true workhorse with a heart of gold. A gentle giant, he is trainable, sensible, and an absolute pleasure to be around. He has a fantastic attitude – not sharp, always willing – and is perfect for a rider looking for a reliable, well-mannered, and established horse.

He hacks confidently alone or in company, is polished at home, and performs consistently in the competition arena. He has also enjoyed some jump schooling and cross-country.

We are much more amateur dressage riders than he is used to and his teaching us the ropes! 

Important note: Melman makes a noise in his wind and is therefore not suited for hunting or sustained fast work. He has, however, passed a full 5-stage vetting for general riding and dressage, which is fully reflected in his value.

Despite this, he remains a fantastic, versatile, and well-established dressage horse, ideal for a rider seeking a safe, trainable, and genuinely enjoyable partner.

Serious inquiries only – a horse like Melman is very hard to find.

Doogie has been with us for the current season and has proved himself a most genuine and accommodating sort. He has been out with a variety of packs, including the Staff College Drag Hounds and the Coakham Bloodhounds, taking everything in his stride. He is a sensible ride in a snaffle, stands quietly at the meet, and is mannerly in the field, showing himself to be good with hounds. Across country he is brave and willing, happily popping rails, ditches, hedges and the like, and is particularly pleasing in open spaces where he remains level-headed, never becoming strong or silly. He gives one the feel of a horse who will continue to make up into a most dependable hunter with further mileage.

On the flat, Doogie is working nicely for his age, with three correct, rhythmical paces and a willing attitude to his work. He is beginning to work in a consistent outline and is responsive without being sharp. With time and continued schooling, he would undoubtedly produce a very pleasing dressage test.

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Super teen or small adults event prospect.

Twix has recently been imported from Ireland directly from her breeder where she has been all her life. we have had many of her family members through the yard and they have all been cracking horses and she is no exception .

She’s had a great start and is now ready to find her perfect match here and give someone a lot of fun. She is an uncomplicated girl who wants to please and isn’t mareish. She’s got three good paces with an exceptional balanced canter, she’s got natural changes and is very athletic. She needs a bit more flat work to be test ready but tries to please and has good obedient transitions and is nice in the hand. Twix is very brave to jump and is schooling round 90cm SJ fences and has been XC schooling both with us and in Ireland. She’s very brave not bothered by ditches, water etc. and loves it, she will be a super BE grass roots prospect or do all PC and RC very well, I can see her doing PC/RC teams etc. She’s still a bit weak and has got a lot of filling out to do but will turn in to a lovely model.

She hacks alone and in company and is good in traffic. Nice person in and out the stable, she’s still green and learning about life and as long as things are introduced to her without stress she’s good and as such has been green but good to clip and shoe. Excellent to catch, load, etc. she will suit a competent teen or small adult to bring on further and have loads of fun with, she’s a real try hard and we all love her here.

Grey Roan, rising 4yrs, 15.3 gelding / 160cm.

Beautifully bred. Diamant De Semilly X Russel lines.

This lovely 4yr old has had a great start to his education. Happily hacking out, has seen traffic.

He shows scope, technique and is careful over a fence loose. He hasn’t yet seen a fence under saddle.

He is obviously very green but is a lovely blank canvas for someone to make their own. Has not been rushed or over produced.

Half brother was sold to the USA. Currently eventing as a 6yo.

He has a good set of X-rays.

A couple of tiny sarcoids have popped up in the last few weeks. Currently being treated but it is very likely they will disappear on their own. Photos available.

Genuine, kind temperament. Good for farrier (barefoot), loads and travels well.
