Patch is searching for his right person. Maybe you’re a more novice rider or an older rider looking for a quiet horse that will teach you and give you confidence, but in return needs a little TLC himself. Or maybe you have purchased a horse that isn’t quite right for you and are looking to part exchange or possibly swap.

We are offering our hireling for sale due to him needing a. slightly, quieter life. He sometimes needs a little bute, and or a steroid injection also helps him behind. Never really a lame step, just management to keep a nice horse comfortable. Like us, we also need a paracetamol from time to time, with many miles left on the clock and far from hanging up our riding boots!

He is a real schoolmaster. No vices. No blemishes. Loads of experience in showjumping, hunting, showing, dressage & a real cross country machine. 

Good to clip, catch, load, travel and shoe. Schooled beautifully on the flat and good enough for the show ring. Hacks alone and not silly in company. Will pop a course of 90cm easily and is not scared of fillers or solid fences. Has hunted many seasons and could still do.

Fab & fun horse to take out on your own or with friends. Has been to loads of fun rides & beach rides. 

Sold from field with Warrenty. Open to sensible offers. For sale as downsizing and haven’t really hunted since Christmas due to all the wet weather so no longer needed. Still suitable as a hireling so if unsold will return back to work with the other horses this spring.

The ultimate Christmas cob!

Stunning dun & white cob

Tyson has got one of the nicest temperaments you will ever find in a horse. He loves having fuss and attention and will stand to be groomed and pampered for hours. He’s definitely a yard favourite here such a mannerly young cob!

He has a great laid back temperament and Will let you get on from mounting block or ground.

He is a great allrounder and will turn his hoof to anything asked of him. Although he is young he has started his education with his schooling and he is coming along nicely with three lovely balanced paces. He would go out and do a nice dressage test. We have also jumped him over some fences at home where he has proven him self to be a very honest careful jumper.

He is good to hack alone or in company. Not phased by farm machinery or any traffic you can hack him on the busiest of roads.

This cob is top quality and one that will go far!

He is good to do in all ways

No lumps or bumps

WANTED: Experienced home awaits a sporty mare


Ref #: 400435

  • 15.1 - 16.2hh, 6-9 years
  • 5* home on a quiet, rural yard
  • Open to projects
Experienced private owner offering a genuine 5?? long-term home.

I have over 20 years’ experience owning horses and am a lightweight, quiet, and sympathetic rider. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, correct basics, and allowing horses to progress at their own pace.

My current horse is a 23-year-old mare, retired for the past three years due to age-related medical issues. She remains with me permanently, and I’m now looking for my next long-term equine partner.

The horse would be kept at a quiet rural livery yard with miles of off road hacking and on site owners (I would be the primary caregiver and live only a few miles away) providing daily oversight.

Horse Sought

- 15.1–16.2hh
- 6–9 years old
- Mare preferred, although geldings considered
- ISH / Warmblood type preferred (not looking for a cob, or anything chunky)
- Naturally forward-going with a good jump
- Well-schooled or sensibly produced
- Able to hack alone and in company (essential)
- Good to clip, catch, shoe, and load
- Kind, straightforward temperament on the ground and easy to work with
- Sensible project considered (green, recently out of work, or needing education) - providing any quirks or blemishes are disclosed.

I’m not looking for a finished article; temperament, trainability, and potential are more important than mileage. A horse with scope to compete at novice / newcomers, in time would be ideal.

I’m based in Central Scotland, so sensible distances preferred, though I’m willing to travel for the right horse.

Please WhatsApp or email in the first instance with full details and photos.

As this is a forever home and I do not sell horses on, realistic prices only, please.

References happily provided.

16.2hh 7 year old dapple grey gelding by “CRUISING IN CLONE” (ID) out of a heavy cob mare.

Extremely well put together , gorgeous boy with the temperament to match.

Broken and riding very well.

Competed at various low level shows, has hunted on 5 occasions 4 times in Ireland once in England and been to multiple fun rides pole clinics beach ect he really will turn his hoof to anything!

Not for a complete novice as he’s a big horse and can sometimes be slightly strong but never nasty at all he’s just a big horse. Loves the water

Will make a Lovley heavy weight hunter for upcoming show season.

Has a great jump for a well built horse also, he’s totally unphased by any fillers planks water trays ect and although he’s big enough to carry a male rider he’s also polite and easy going so is a ideal ladies hunter .

Never been known to buck or rear he’s not sharp in any way , takes everything in his stride.

Prefers to hack in company, can be Nappy to hack alone but will hack alone with a confident Rider. Not sharp just a bit stubborn to come off the Yard but once he’s going, he’s okay.

He’s not sharp of the leg but he’s not dead either he’s respectful of your aids.

Clarkstown Bomber a beautiful connie stamp, standing at 15.1hh out of an I love You melody mare by Contepomi Cashel.

Bought as a 3yo direct from breeder this lovely little horse has done a little of everything: Dressage, Jumping, XC he's been to clinics and camps and is a real pleasure to take anywhere. He rides big, I am 5'9 and have never felt big on him.

Travels well in trailers and lorries. Good to shoe, clip, catch and in traffic. Hacks out alone and in company, schools in open fields and never strong.

Hunted once - was polite and didn't mind the hounds.

Bomber is more of a follower than a leader, he is willing horse who takes confidence from his rider, he is quick to learn and strives with repetition. We have not had facilities at home so he is short on milage. He also has 2 front limb splints, never been lame or caused any problems. Happy to share vet records. Price reflected by the above.

He is offered for sale only to a kind knowledgeable home - no novice riders. He has so much to offer to the right person.

  • Quality amateur type

DYLASAU AMAZING ACE - Approx 16.3, 5yo (2020), full ID gelding (Great Grandsire Flagmount King).

This gorgeous big guy is an absolute labrador to be around and handle, he just loves fuss and his 'humans'.

He is a big, quality type. A very solid build with a leg in each corner. That said he is athletic and a forward thinking horse to ride.
Ace was bought as a foal and his owner has done a super job bringing him up. He is mannerly yet inquisitive. He is only recently under saddle with us and is hacking out very well and goes greenly around the arena. He is light on his feet for his size (regularly offering a snazzy medium trot!).

Although he is an absolute Teddy bear, and is really taking to ridden life with ears pricked and a game attitude, he is generally forward off the leg and can have very normal baby moments so IS NOT currently suitable for a novice.

Would love to pop a pair of shoes on, and clip him out, but he is potentially going for a little break if not sold - so come and meet Mr Fluffy!
He has loose jumped, showing nice athletic ability, and he took himself down the line both ways unaided - he is fairly bold 

We backed his mother some years ago and she was fairly spicy to begin with but turned into a fantastic hunter - he is fairly similar with 'nicer' spice!

He has the potential to be an absolute 'Jack of all trades', RC/ showing/ grassroots across all disciplines, hunting etc. A absolutely lovely family horse, but he is still learning and needs competent/ an experienced home to solidify good basics into this fantastic horse to ensure a great future and longevity.
In a years time he's the ultimate unicorn amateurs search for.

For sale on behalf of his owner who will be very sad to see him go. A good home a priority.

Open to viewings, trainers and vettings.

Lovely stamp of a horse and has the flashy warmblood movement. Will walk trot canter in the school and would go and do a nice dressage test. She is still a little green in the school only due to her age but there is no harm in her what so ever very willing and enjoys her work.

We have recently taken her out hunting where she behaved extremely well and took it all in her stride!

Shes a great mare I really do believe this mare will go on an excel in any discipline.

She is always snaffle mouthed very responsive with her aids would suit most types of riders. Will live in or out

15.1 Appaloosa mare 8yo. A kind, easy mare with genuine talent. She has three flashy, quality paces and a balanced, easy, natural jump, never phased by fillers. She is well educated and straightforward to ride.

Her owner has done a fantastic job giving her excellent manners, making her a pleasure to have around the yard and to handle. She is good to shoe, load and clip, and is easy in all aspects of daily management.

On the flat she works in a natural outline, moving in a rhythmical, correct way.

She is bold over cross-country fences, despite not having done a huge amount of XC to date.

She has been hunting, where she was excellent – not strong or silly in any way.

Great to hack alone or in company. She is sensible in open spaces, does not get silly when cantering, and will happily pop ditches. Goes first, last, or sits quietly in the middle of the ride.

A genuine, straightforward horse with a lovely attitude and plenty of ability for someone to enjoy and progress.

  • Forward thinking, genuine young horse

16.1/2 PRE Gelding- 4yrs in May.

Fully Registered PRE Gelding. Friendly, inquisitive chap who adores a fuss and wants to be everyone’s friend.

He has spent the last 8 weeks in a professional yard where he has been beautifully introduced to the saddle and has fast become a yard favourite at the Brookside residence. He has taken every question asked in his stride with an ever consistent, positive attitude.

Never pushed or rushed, been on quiet hacks out to see the world and has proven a bold, forward thinking horse. He has seen busy traffic, cantered in open spaces, been down the canal and rode through water.

He has recently taken a trip to an arena hire where he loaded and travelled beautifully. Happily stood and waited his turn and never put a foot wrong under saddle.

Loose jumped over a fence where he proved bold and genuine, jumped off a bad stride and quickly sorted his feet out.


He is good to handle in all ways, recently had a set of front shoes on, perfect to clip, bath, brush load and travel.

Basil really has a lot of potential, he has been started with his age in mind and been taken very slowly with his future in mind. He could easily make a lovely eventer or dressage horse or equally be someone’s best friend to enjoy a bit of everything with.
