• Real gentleman
• Showing potential bold nothing phases him
• Loves his showjumping and hunting

I have know him since birth and owned him until he was 7 I broke him in. He is a lovely chap lovely temperament and always willing to please.

We have hunted him he was good on the field stood at the meet good with the hounds and jumps everything. He has been around a course of fences nothing phases him like fillers or anything has 3 lovely paces . Currently being ridden by a 15yr old girl .

In his current home for the last 3 years he has been on a farm so used to all animals and machinery hacks out alone or in company first or last.

I think he would prefer a active home doing a bit of everything. He is low mileage for his age so would suit more a confident experience rider.

16.2hh
Shire Cross
Chunky Weight Carrier
Jet Black, 6yrs, mare

Astrid is a stunning Jet black Shire Cross with a big heart and a loving sole currently working in a riding school by intermediate level and above riders, although still green in the school, she is a genuine blank canvas with a lovely, willing and trainable nature. She is beginning to understand his flatwork, canters on the correct leg, and is learning to maintain balance and straightness. She is confident over poles and small obstacles and always tries her best; never sharp, spooky or silly, simply straightforward and eager to learn. With a more competent rider, she will work into a soft outline and is already showing promising development in suppleness, balance and responsiveness to the leg, including the early stages of lateral work.

She is wonderfully safe and sensible, naturally more whoa than go. If a rider loses balance or stirrups, she will quietly come back to walk without being asked, making him incredibly forgiving and confidence-building for riders with less knowledge.

She has a big, genuine heart and learns quickly. Despite not having done extensive arena work, she puts his heart and soul into everything asked of her. Her slow and steady outlook on life, paired with her calm, unflappable temperament, means nothing much phases her.

Her experience has been primarily trekking and hacking, and this is where she truly shines. She will happily plod along on a loose rein and look after his rider in any environment, making her a super kind, uncomplicated type for someone who wants to put their own stamp on a genuine, honest horse. She is most definitely a sturdy sure footed mare with a leg in each corner.

She does not fizz up, spook, shy, rush, pull or behave in a silly manner. Her chilled, steady temperament remains the same wherever she goes.

Astrid hacks in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eyelid, waiting politely at junctions without moving, staying rock-solid as lorries, buses, tractors, trailers, motorbikes and farm machinery pass closely by. Open fields are no problem either; she has impeccable manners in open spaces and has cantered and gently galloped on grass verges beside busy roads. In a group, she is happy leading, in the middle or at the back, never pulling or trying to overtake if anything, she sometimes needs reminding to keep up!

She also hacks out alone with complete confidence and a mature, ladylike attitude. Absolutely nothing seems to faze her, making her an ideal partner for someone wanting a reliable, safe and genuine horse who will give confidence and enjoy life at a steady pace.

Astrid can be ridden every now and again and have the same chilled out attitude as when ridden daily.

She is excellent catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, farrier, dentist, vet.

She absolutely loves to be pampered, she will stand all day without a head collar and lead rope whilst being groomed, bathed, cuddled and fussed over.
She stands quite happily in her stable eating her hay with the door open, never attempting to walk out unless asked.

She gets lead, caught and handled by the smallest of children, she is quite happy being dragged around the yard on the end of a lead rope.

She will stand at a mounting block without moving until mounted, regardless of how long it takes.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

She is currently stabled during the day and out at night within a mixed herd, she is equally happy to be stabled or turned out full time, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite being out with 30 other horses.
She isn’t clingy or marish in any way and is happy being stable and or turned out solo.

Astid will give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily compete at riding club level, fun/beach rides.

She can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance, she maintains her weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
She has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch or sarcoids.

In the whole time I have her I can honestly say she has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, she has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer.

Astrid is being sold on behalf of my son as a private sale

• Full Irish passport
• A favourite on the yard
• Honest sale

Beau moves well on the flat with three lovely, balanced paces and has competed dressage with his former owner. He has a lovely jump and has attended BS (with previous owners) jumping BN on a ticket as well as arena hires and clinics.

Beau enjoys hacking both on and off road and has previously hunted. He is happy to lead or follow and will hack alone with a confident rider. He is great with all types of traffic.

Beau is excellent to handle on the ground. He currently lives in at night and out during the day, but is equally content to stay in during poor weather! In spring and summer he lives out 24/7. He is currently on individual turnout, so his behavior in a herd is unknown.

He's good to clip, load, shoe and is up to date with vaccinations, physio and dentist. He can have time off from work and remains his safe, sane self. he lunges and long-lines well.

His only quirk is in the school he is known to occasionally nap, due to this he needs a confident rider. This usually presents as planting his feet rather than anything dangerous. Because of this he benefits from a confident, firm rider who can reassure him and ride him through it.

Beau is now looking for a quieter life, ideally hacking and light schooling with no added pressure. My personal circumstances have changed due to be returning to university, I cannot give Beau the time he deserves.

Beau will be sold with a bride and a few rugs.

Please only inquire if you are generally interested- no time wasters. Beau will only be sold to a 5* home.

Quick against the clock and takes off from anywhere. Electric off the floor and the scope of a big horse.

Geoff is a 14.2hh chunky Bay Blagdon gelding, 4 years

We have had Geoff since the start of summer and he was purchased as a project. Sadly a change in my work circumstances force a sale earlier than I would have liked. That being said, he has been broken to ride lightly and is proving to be everything we hoped.

He has a placid, sweet but brave nature and is fabulous to be around. Catch, lead, tie up, muck out round, groom, farrier. He has a lovely nature with other horses too.

Over summer he has worn tack, long reined in the school and on the lane and has been ridden round the school and on the lane. Nothing has been rushed, he has then been turned away for a number of weeks and brought back in. The fact that we brought him in, tacked him straight up and got on for a stroll round the arena and the yard is indicative to the nature of this lovely cob. Easy, unflappable and trainable.

He is young and green so will be sold to a knowledgeable home only, however, he is going to make someone a fabulous cob with size and substance. They don’t make them like this anymore. We can also continue with his education for the short term (should his new owner wish).

Serious enquiries only. He is based near Whalley, Lancashire. He can come with tack by separate negotiation and we can arrange transport nationally.

Geoff is sound, never sick or sorry, no sweetitch, great feet and no sarcoids.

He is open to vet.

• 17 years
• 15.3 hands

• Proven, confidence-giving schoolmistress – ideal confident teen horse, Pony Club or Riding Club type
• Kind, versatile and easy to manage – hacks alone or in company, adaptable to different routines
• Genuine all-rounder – competes comfortably at 80–90cm, jumps 1m at home, bold cross-country

15.3hh Bay Mare and Experienced All-Round Schoolmistress

Misty is a 17-year-old bay mare who has been a reliable and much-loved partner for our daughter. While she is 17, she is fit, sound, and full of enthusiasm for her work, with a youthful attitude and plenty still to give. She feels and rides far younger than her years and has been carefully and sensibly produced.

We purchased Misty as our daughters first horse when she was 15, and she has been an incredibly kind, safe and confidence-giving partner. She is only for sale through no fault of her own, as our daughter has now moved on to producing an inexperienced horse.

Misty is a genuine all-rounder with a willing attitude and a wealth of experience. She is happiest competing at 80&90cm and regularly jumps up to 1m at home. She is exceptionally bold cross-country and has been placed at Tweseldown BE. On the flat, she works well with good, correct paces.

While Misty is extremely kind, genuine, and safe, she is also quite forward and naturally quick, particularly when jumping and cross-country. For this reason, she would not be suitable for a nervous or totally inexperienced rider, but would be ideal for a confident teen, amateur, or small adult who enjoys a responsive, enthusiastic ride.

She has attended Pony Club camp, participated in numerous rallies, and more recently has been based at Hartpury college, where she adapted well to a structured routine and living in. At home, she lives out and is equally settled with a more relaxed routine. Misty hacks alone with a confident rider or in company and is happy living either individually or within a group.

Misty has seen the hounds and attended our local hunt meets, she was excited but safe. She loves to follow so enjoyed riding in a group.

She is well mannered, affectionate, and straightforward to handle. She has never been sick or injured and has been well cared for throughout her life.

Misty would suit a rider looking to enjoy Pony Club, Riding Club, low-level eventing, or general all-round work. She genuinely enjoys her job and makes an ideal schoolmistress for someone wanting a safe, experienced and versatile horse.

Her only vice is that she is nervous of clippers, though she is manageable with sedation.

Misty is a cherished mare who will be greatly missed. A knowledgeable, five-star home is essential.

Price to include Bridle and Saddle, some rugs available too.
