Meet Queenie - It’s time for Queenie to find her next best friend

She loves to hunt, jumping or non hunting , happily hacks for hours either alone or in company, and is sensible and mannerly on the roads.

Queenie also enjoys popping a jump and moves well, with the potential to produce a very nice dressage test with a bit more flatwork.

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.

Carrott - approx 16.1/16.2hh, 6 yr old

We purchased carrot as a foal and left him to mature and grow! This horse has low mileage as he hasn't been rushed and has all the foundations to make a great event horse or someone's next best friend.

He has been on a few local farm rides and small local unaffiliated shows and is showing a great future.

We have done everything with him ourselves.

Carrott is great in traffic and around farm animals / machinery. He's good to catch, load/ travel and farrier. Will go Infront or behind! Will baby sit youngsters.

Up to date with back and teeth.

He is forward in a nice way! Can ride in open spaces!

If your looking for a smart event stamp horse with a great trainable brain with low milage but all the foundations he's the horse for you!

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.

At home he is an absolute pleasure to have about the yard. He is easy to manage, turns out happily either in a mixed herd or on his own, and is free from stable vices.

He has been out clear round jumping at Felbridge Showground up to 70cm, which we feel is more than sufficient for his age, and he has given a very good account of himself. There is certainly scope for him to progress further in time. He has also enjoyed beach rides and pub rides, taking these experiences in his usual relaxed and sensible manner.

Doogie would suit someone seeking a smart, safe hunter, all-rounder or riding club horse. He is straightforward, genuine and easy to ride and handle, making him an enjoyable prospect for a wide range of riders.

Full history known. Good to load, clip, catch & shoe.

About Her

• Kind, gentle, and very easy to handle on the ground

• Turns out happily with mares or geldings

• Knows her job in the school and enjoys having a purpose

• Sold from field

• Currently out of work for the past year due to my circumstances, but she’s the type who comes back into it without much fuss

• Loves her food, thrives on affection, and responds beautifully to kindness

• Solid, strong legs and lovely movement - she always catches the judge’s eye

• Enjoys jumping and has done well competing



Riding & Temperament

She’s a dream in the school, willing and responsive, and knows her job. She is however not a novice ride.

Out hacking, she is anxious, so she needs a confident, calm rider who can offer reassurance without rushing her.

I’ve done a lot of groundwork with her, which she absolutely loves, and it’s helped her confidence grow beautifully.

Good to travel, can be slightly hesitant to load but nothing a few treats doesn’t fix.

I’ve enjoyed doing formation riding and working equitation with her, but she has previously done a one day event, and a few showing jumping and dressage competitions. She enjoys having days out.
 

What She Needs

This girl deserves a knowledgeable, experienced home where she’ll be understood, supported, and given the consistency she thrives on. The right home is absolutely the priority.

She would suit someone who enjoys schooling, groundwork, and building a real partnership with her.

Looking for a 5 * home where she’ll be truly loved - serious enquiries only.

The right home is most important for this special girl.

Potentially open to LWVTB, but only for the right person.

Homes will be vetted and references required.

No trails. Open to vettings.

Lots of videos and photos for her being ridden on request. I’d love to stay in contact with her.


Horse of a Lifetime- Golden Delight

  • Striking middleweight ID cross mare with fabulous movement in all 3 gaits
  • Forward responsive ride and loves to work. Never spooky
  • Amateurs Dream - safe and easy all respects

Golden Delight (Millie) combines the rare combination of presence and talent with a lovely safe and easy temperament making her the perfect horse for ambitious amateur rider.

She has 3 expressive, powerful paces and is a forward ride and lovely soft snaffle mouth. Millie is low milage as she has been allowed to grow into her frame and is therefore a little green for her age.

She still needs to learn to balance herself at times and currently needs her rider to help her stay connected, but she is a quick learner and loves her schooling.

She shows real ability to both collect and take the weight behind and extend and has potential for the higher levels. She is very focused and does not spook in the arena.

Millie has seen coloured fences and is bold and honest to a jump but she has not done much jumping and her forte is dressage.

Millie is good to hack out alone and in company and is polite and controllable in open spaces. Millie was imported from Ireland and could have very well hunted their but we have no proof of this. She does show all the attributes to be a top class hunter as she is not marish or bothered by other horses close to her. She also would be a fantastic horse for fun/beach rides etc.

Millie is polite and easy to handle, good to catch, box, shoe, clip etc; she is a kind and friendly mare who loves people.

She really is a horse of a lifetime for the right person and is only very sadly for sale due to current owners ongoing back problem. Not for someone very novice or nervous as she does have an engine and big movement.

Millie has some very small sarcoids on her inner thigh that have not changed over the last year. She also has a heart murmur that has been fully investigated by a cardiologist is not of any concern. Report is available to confirm this. This is reflected in price.

Red Velvet - Meet ‘Big Red’ - An extremely classy , show stopping 18.1hh, 11yo warmblood mare

No lumps or bumps nor vices
Very well related with talent and class all through the bloodlines on both sides!

Red is a well put together model with everything going for her! There is so much to love about her but I’ll try and keep this as short and sweet as I can.

She is the least chestnut mare I’ve ever met in my whole career. She could easily be a bay gelding! Handled by my 4 year old daughter on a daily. Perfect to shoe, catch, load , travel, bath etc! Easy as can be for any member of the family to see to. She extremely loving and loves nothing more than affection. Will stand statue still all day long to be pampered and loved.

On the flat she is one hell of a head turner. Red has been beautifully produced by her owner and as a result is very push button. Very obedient up and down the transitions. Perfect walk to canter , lateral work , and the trot … well , how can I put that! Let’s just say, that’s one of the most uphill and comfortable trots I’ve ever ridden. So much range and rideablity , you could just ride her around all day long. The type of mare that makes anyone look like they know what they’re doing. Has done very well in unaffiliated dressage test and I feel this is a sphere she would absolutely thrive in. She loves to work and is super easy. A nice leg in each corner type. I fell her potential in this sphere is uncapped

She’s no one discipline wonder … she loves to jump! Very bold and genuine over fillers. Most recently jumping double clear in the 80cm at summerhouse. Again, very easy to a fence and loves the job. Super forgiving if you miss etc. Would certainly go out and do this job also. Does have scope to jump bigger tracks with further production

Hacks out faultlessly!! Alone or in company , no questions asked type. Leads the way or happy to keep back. Bold and brave in the heaviest of traffic and is certainly my ride of choice. Infact, she’s everyone ride of choice which sometimes causes a tiff with the yard girls! Super in open spaces , stands at the mountain block , opens and closes the gates etc

There is a BUT with Red. She is with me on sales livery due to owner loosing a bit of confidence. 95% of the time she is as perfect as perfect gets. However, she has been known on occasion to have a big spook which has knocked some confidence with current owner. This is not something we have seen with her ourselves as of yet but is something she has been known to do. I don’t believe this will phase everyone , she’s been an absolute star here but is something to keep in mind. As a result, we will not sell to anyone novice , nervous or incompetent. This is an extremely difficult , heart wrenching decision for her owner to make. She only wants the very best for her and will absolutely want to stay in touch

Come along and meet her if you think she may be for you! It would be an absolute please to show her off. I’d like to keep her for myself but I think I may send my partner into a seizure if I buy yet another personal horse.

Suileen The Farmers Daughter , 16hh 4yr old registered Irish draught mare by Tors Gentleman Farmer out of class 1 dam Suileen Pippy (Fintan Himself). A seriously quality model , well put together with a stunning head.

Would be suitable for a mother daughter share / low level alrounder / riding club / happy hacker / potential hunter.

Suli was brought over from Ireland last summer , and has been with us for a few months now. We’ve broken her in ourselves , we’ve taken plenty of time with her and produced her with a future of being a general alrounder in mind. She has a lovely temperament , very willing to learn and enjoys her work. Suli has been hacking alone and in company , she’s very good in traffic , has seen big traffic and farm machinery around the yard. She’s brave and bold. Good in open spaces. Her flatwork is coming on well , she has 3 nice balanced paces. Popped a fence a handful of times , we haven’t really pushed the jumping yet but she is proving to be willing.

Has been to an arena hire now and xc schooling. Went out for her first time away from home on her own and didn’t put a foot wrong. Super easy to load and travel in the trailer , easy to mount and handle away from home. Schooled sweetly in a new arena and then popped round her first xc fences showing a willing attitude and good shape over solid fences. She is bold as brass. Ready to enjoy the summer and be produced on further.

Sulli was super easy to clip , shoe , have her teeth done etc , she’s good to load and travel. Needs a bit more work with the hose pipe ! Please no novices or nervous riders , she is still young and needs producing further. No vices. Serious enquiries only , I don’t have time to do endless viewings as relying on staff at the moment.

7500 for hopefully a relatively hassle free sale ! Bargain for a horse of her quality.

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.

Same home for five years

Bambi is very kind on the ground and super easy to have on the yard. He is perfect to catch, loads and travels perfectly and has a very gentleman manner about him. Bambi is very reserved and nervous of new people until he gets to know you. He then, very quickly comes out of his shell and you shows you what a cheeky chappy he is!

I could ride this boy all day long on the flat. He’s been beautifully produced by his owner. Snaffle mouthed and never strong. A nice leg in each corner type. Works in a beautiful outline and is very easy to adjust. Bambam is a beautiful mover with the world’s most comfortable canter around! Ready to go to a dressage show tomorrow and would no doubt be in the thrillies.

Bambi is bold and brave when jumping. Has been to many clinics , lessons, and small training shows. Has a very easy approach a fence , super honest, good technique, and very forgiving! With further production, who knows what he could do! Enjoys XC and has done a few hunter trails / ODE’s. Bold and consistently mannerly , again, so much to be played with!

Hacks out very well, alone or in company. Is sensible in traffic and really enjoys this. Super in open spaces. Hacks around quiet country lanes or down the busy A roads! He is very reliable and consistent and one of my personal rides of choice

There is a BUT , here’s why he’s not 12k ….
Bambi is extremely nervous of new riders. He has only ever had myself and his owner ride him(Just started to introduce my yard girl)
Bambi is natural worrier! He had never bucked nor reared etc or done anything nasty! He is 100% genuine. However , he does get very tense and needs competent reassurance from the rider. Now that I’ve ridden him a fair bit , he is super with me on board. He just needs someone to be his friend and have a 1-1 relationship with his new owner. Bambi is also nervous with the farrier. Again, not at all nasty, just needs patience and reassurance

This has been an extremely difficult and long thought out decision for his current owner and is purely down to personal circumstances and nothing at all to do with Bambi. She would very much like to stay in touch. His tack is available separately

I really do think a lot of this super little horse and I don’t want to get this wrong for him so please only the best of homes needs enquire

This absolutely stunning girl has received compliments everywhere shes been

She has been hunting a few times over the winter period and is a real eye catcher at the meet, snaffle mouthed at all times,

She’s so polite she’s happy to wait with children or get in the mix up front. Jumped everything in her path.

She’s the kindest person, happy to cuddle the whole family, first to catch and just loves a fuss.

She would event or dressage with correct schooling, we have begun this. I have brought her education on slowly due to her size, so still green in the school

She’s done beach is essentially a kind girl who’s seen a bit of the world waiting for her forever person to put their stamp on

She’s done beach rides with all the kids, fun rides etc a really genuine fun horse

She’s great to shoe, clip and generally be around

Hacks alone or in company, open fields or roads

The only downside is the teeny tiniest lump on her cheek bone, so small you can’t see it in her hair, the vet says this can easily be cut out. But want to be honest it’s there.

Her price reflects this tiny blemish

A winner in every discipline.. meet ‘Colorado ‘ aka ‘ Coli’ - show stopping warmblood x Tb with the most impressive CV going! Standing at 16.2HH, 8yo gelding. Substantial stamp with no lumps , bumps or blemishes. sired by ‘Aviea’

Been in same home since a yearling

Shown as a foal with great success. Prolific winner in hand at numerous championships at county level , too many to name

Many wins at county level as a 4 and 5 year old in large riding horse and lightweight hunter classes

Top 10 at the London international horse show with a 7th place finish out of 33 of the country’s best in the large riding horse class

In the last two years Coli has done some BS classes. Several wins and clears in the British Novice and Discovery classes. He really is an out and out winner in all disciplines

Has been XC schooling and loves it. He is extreme bold and brave. Many championship wins in working hunter classes

Not only is he a winning machine, he is the kindest horse you’ll ever wish to find. He is outstanding to clip, box , shoe, load , travel , turnout , catch, live in or out …. I could go on and on. He loves affection, and will give you kisses all day long!

He is always snaffle mouthed. Extremely straight and easy to ride. Currently using him as a school master to give lessons to my yard girls on. He is exceptionally forgiving and knows his job. This is a horse of a lifetime. A nice leg in each corner type who never says no. Doesn’t get sharp or silly, not ever.

Rock solid to hack out! Alone or in company. Currently giving a lead to all my breakers. Fantastic in open spaces. Stands perfectly at the mounting block. Opens and closes gates etc

Very careful jump and will go on a whopper of a miss and never take offence by this.

He would take a novice but due ti being a competition horse I want him to continue to do what he does best with a capable rider. Would suit a teen or any adult wanting to go and win , have fun and a team mate along the way.

He’s one of the best horses money could buy however he does need to wear a collar in stable as will crib. A very easy fix to just pop a collar on. That’s why he’s not 20k

I’ve proved him very affordably to see him find the perfect partner and free up the stable
Open to any vet or inspection
Delivery available (travels in trailer or lorry)
Plenty of professional references available for this absolutely legend of a horse
Owners personal circumstances force sale - nothing to do with Coli!
