The wonderful Zoey! A mare that I have become super fond of in the time she has been with me!

Zoey is a 10yo beautifully bred quality and substantial ID mare. She is 10yo, however she has spent 4 years as a brood mare, so has low mileage for her age!

In Ireland she has had a predominantly happy hacking career, being ridden by novices & hunting, being an allround family horse, along side breeding foals!

Since I have had her, I have hunted her with the Fernie, she proved sensible & very straight forward! She stood at the meet, and was polite and level headed cantering in the field.

Zoey is working well In the school. She is a lovely active forward ride, with a fabulous step in the trot! She is green for her age in the school- but her schooling basics are all in place to further her education and strengthening! She has a lovely big show horse canter, and is light in the mouth and wants to naturally go on the bridle- which she has picked up incredibly quickly! Zoey is a super intelligent mare, she loves to work in the school and learn new things. She fills the eye in a dressage arena and is a super attractive horse. I think she would make a very smart dressage horse!

To jump Zoey has taken everything in her stride and proven to be bold over fillers. She really wants to be careful over a pole and gives the rider a lovely feel over a fence. Zoey thoroughly enjoys her jumping!
She has been cross country schooling and has proven to be bold, scopey and careful, she is straight and genuine with ditches and water.

Zoey has hacked in company and alone- she has been hacked on the roads and in the fields. She is a forward going marching on kind of girl, so not for someone who is looking for a slob!

Zoey is good to clip, shoe, load and travel, catch, bath, She turns out with others mares and geldings. stands on the lorry at a show. She has a capped hock and a small scar on her bum. Open to any vetting.

Vice free- her noteble ‘habits’ she can put her head high when you’re putting a bridle on- a small child would probably struggle to tack her up!

Stunning pure bred Connemara with full Connemara book and HWSD N/N.

Pablo is a super little horse, has lovely flowing paces and working consistently in an outline. He is not sharp, snaffle mouthed, he has been a real confidence giver to me getting back into riding after a break.

I have even regularly hunted him this season and he is a star not strong, happy to stand very polite and straight forward. Excellent to load and travel even on my own after hunting. He has been showing in Ireland for education and was placed. Pablo has been very honest with his jumping and really enjoys it.

We have taken him to arena cross country where he was again very sensible with his surroundings and jumped everything he was asked including ditches and going straight into the water.

Pablo is very well mannered, level headed and loving, good to box, shoe and catch.

He has been hacked out alone and in company and been good with back road traffic seen to date including big tractors.

Ciaran aka Sruthan Ciaran is an Irish purebred Connemara with breeding recorded.
Approx 15hh, 4 yro (2022) and a beautiful dapple grey colour.

Arrived from Ireland in 2025, Ciaran was handled well and given the spring and summer to mature on grass with a small herd on our farm.

In the autumn he started his breaking to ride process and couldn’t have been more willing or straightforward.
Lunging well and long reining on the roads, woodlands and other terrain gaining lots of experience before being backed and ridden away.

After a successful breaking, Ciaran had the winter of 2025 off and was brought back into work in feb 2026, a quick lunge and hopped straight on for a hack - he really is an easy guy.

Ciaran is a pleasure to keep and handle, a true gentleman. Loves to be groomed and fussed over and gets on with every horse.
Stands for the farrier, to be clipped, good to load and travel. Ciaran is a perfect example of what you’d want in a young horse and will excel in any sphere.

Now enjoying a variety of hacking, fun rides, schooling sweetly at home and has also been to an arena hire.
Shod all round, up to date with wormer, vaccs, dentist.

Open to any vetting.

Warmblood x Percheron

Bred for the temperament of a Percheron with the athleticism of the Warmblood. This lovely boy is golden to handle and be around. Good to catch, lead, change rugs, feet trim etc.

His lines back date to the one and only Catherston Dazzler. Beautiful floaty movement and is starting to come into his own now.

Has been led out on the roads with no bother, life doesn’t seem to scare to lad at all. Has the makings to be a lovely event, riding club, hunt or even police horse. Very docile in temperament and will stand to be fussed all day.

He did have an argument with some fencing as a foal and has superficial scarring on his hind legs. Will not affect his future career at all, just wouldn’t be suitable for showing.

Extremely sad sale of a much loved youngster who I had high hopes of producing myself. Happy to discuss reason for sale on enquiry.
