  • Beautifully balanced on the flat with a trainable attitude
  • Green but genuine – ideal for an experienced rider to produce
Dennis is a quality young horse with all the attributes to develop into a top-level eventer. Having been given time to mature, he was only recently broken and is therefore still green, but showing all the right signs for a very exciting future.

He works beautifully on the flat with three balanced, expressive paces and a naturally uphill way of going. He has a soft, trainable attitude and is already proving to be a rewarding ride for a capable rider.

Over a fence, Dennis shows an excellent natural technique — careful, athletic, and scopey. Combined with his presence and movement, he has all the ingredients to progress through the levels in the right hands.

Due to his age and stage of education, Dennis is not suitable for a novice and will require a confident, knowledgeable rider to continue his production. However, for someone experienced, he represents a fantastic opportunity to produce a high-quality young horse with serious potential.

Dennis is a genuine, talented prospect who, with time and correct training, has all the makings of a top-class event horse.

Very reluctant sale of this wonderful little horse! The right home is extremely important to us, we are very tempted to keep hold of him, but his rider has outgrown him and wants to step up a size.and we are running out of space at home.

Owned by us for 2 1/2 years, been in the local area with his last 3 owners and he is very well thought of.

Achievements with us;
-Qualified NSEA 2025 Champs Individual SJ 80cm and team SJ 90cm
-Qualified NSEA 2026 Champs JWS 80cm
-Placed unaffiliated SJ 90cm and 80cm

Previous owners:
-Numerous wins and placings at BE90 and BE100
-BS up to 1.10m

Louis is super safe out hacking, great in traffic and will go out alone or in company.Ridden by a teenager on country lanes, passed by heavy farm vehicles and drivers who don’t slow down, he is not phased.

He has been ridden on gallops, farm rides and in open spaces and does not buck, rear or bolt. He is a well mannered little horse who does not get strong or silly. Ridden in a rubber snaffle at all times. he is a forward ride not a plod but has brakes.
(My daughter has goofed around with her friends on farm rides and gallops and he has always brought her home safe and sound).

He has had a strong BE career, but we have not used him for eventing. He has mostly done SJ and AE at 80 & 90 with us. He has been to PC rallies and has had endless lessons and always behaves impeccably.

He is an impressive mover with scope to do a lovely dressage test, so would suit an adult wanting to try their hand at dressage. He often achieved great marks in this phase when doing BE.

He is KWPN x German riding pony so is not a full up horse and would suit a rider about 5.7 and under. He has no quirks and not a nasty bone in his body. Whoever chooses him will thoroughly enjoy him, we have no doubt.

Sonic - approx 15/15.1hh, 4 year old Connie x cob gelding.

Sonic is a super sweet and genuine little chap. The ultimate allrounder who’d go off and do a bit of everything and the type to suit the whole family in time.

A really nice type with a pretty little head and a leg in each corner without being heavy.

Good to hack alone or in company and been good in the traffic we’ve met. Riding really well for his age, working away sweetly in the arena with a lovely way of going, nice balanced paces for his age and incredibly willing to learn.

Been out to arena hires and XC schooled, he has a super jump and is very much a yes man. Popped straight round the fences here first time no need to show him anything first, just got on with his job.

Starting to pop some small fences in the arena.

Super type for any job, doesn’t ‘need’ to be busy but equally would go and do a bit of everything if wanted. A really fun little horse who is a nice mix of forward but not too forward, responsive but not sharp. One I ride at the end of the day so I always end the day with a smile on my face.

15.1hh Cob Gelding

15 years young and an Absolute bargain due to pregnancy and being sadly too much horse for my total novice husband - currently totally wasted and he is a true workman that needs a job.

He has previously successfully done all riding club activities, pony club activities, showjumping, Hunter trials , hunted and whipped in . Jumps over 1m comfortably with ease and is bold and brave. He is ridden in traffic / open spaces, I’d like to think he would thrive with a home that has time to work him and keep him busy or is slightly more experienced than ourselves!

Since being with us my novice husband has hacked him out in heavey traffic and open spaces successfully, our friends have schooled him and jumped him beautifully , my 7 year old daughter has groomed him, however I have recently found out I am expecting and been unable to help keep him ticking over or afford to pay for someone else to school him and over the past couple with the lack of work and handling he has become far to sensitive and weary of us and we don’t want him to be ruined or wasted.


This is heavily reflected in his price , to see him find a more suitable home quickly .

Really sweet boy, just requires work and patience.

IDSH mare by Holsteiner stallion. Stands 17.3hh. 13yrs. Mare is an outstanding mover. 

Has previously competed at RI and HOYS in Working Hunters. She has hunted. I took her to a couple of dressage competitions in the early winter and she did fine.

She is good in traffic and is a fun forward hack that could turn a hoof to lots of things with an experience. 

Good in the stable and to box. I've not clipped her but apparently she is fine.

She has been turned out since February and is sold out of the field. Please do not ask to come and ride her. I do not have any ridden videos but there are plenty of photos.

Mare has a very slight shiver but is ok to shoe behind. There are a couple of very small melanomas and flat sarcoids. Vets view was they issues are unlikely to cause a problem but price reflects these issues. 

She would suit an experienced rider on a budget who wants to have some fun.

If I had time I would bring her up into work but work commitments are getting in the way.

15.3hh 10-year-old Black Registered part - bred IDSH (GB), cob type mare.

Purchased from the breeder as an unbroken 3-year-old for my husband to ride around livestock, she has done this and more.

Kind, much-admired horse, hacks alone or with others on open moorland, around the farm, amongst livestock, in the forest, through water etc. Ridden by all members of the family and is just the same if she is ridden daily or not been ridden for a fortnight.

Lovely temperament, turns out with mares, geldings, or on her own. Used to dogs and children. Quiet and tidy in the stable.

Attended PC camp as a 4yo and been to the occasional RC clinic or local show/dressage. Happily loads and stands quietly on the trailer, easy to take out solo. She is our reliable go-to when we need a nanny for young horses. She would be brilliant for fun rides and trail hunting.

Due to several home-bred youngsters and a lack of time to ride them all, she is now totally wasted and available to a kind home.

Good with farm traffic but untried on roads due to our location.

Up to date with flu/tet vaccinations and dental care.

Tack available.

  • 16.2hh Dutch Warmblood
  • Ex-Showjumper
  • Companion / Light Hacking Home Only

Shaky (show name Shakin Stevens) is my 16.2hh Dutch Warmblood gelding and this is one of the hardest adverts l've ever had to write. He was my first horse. I knew nothing when I bought him, and he very patiently taught me so much. He is the type of horse that looks after you when you don't even realise you need looking after.

In his younger years, Shaky competed up to 1.40m, travelling and jumping across Portugal and Spain as a professional showjumper before I bought him as a 15-year-old to help build my confidence. He has truly been there, done it, and worn the T-shirt. In October 2024, he was referred to Liphook for investigation of bruising to his pedal bone. Given his previous career and findings, I made the decision to retire him fully from jumping and find him a life where he could just be happy.

He has now been turned away and living out for around 15 months and is completely comfortable in himself with no current health issues. He is barefoot on all four feet. Shaky does have shivers in his hind legs, which unfortunately means he is unable to have his back feet picked up. This has been managed by allowing him to keep his feet on the ground and it has never caused him pain or distress, but it is an important part of his care. He is an incredibly gentle soul. He would never bite or kick and is very easy in his nature.

He can be slightly head shy when first getting to know someone, but once he trusts you he becomes very affectionate and forms a strong bond. He is good to turn out with others and mixes well in a herd. Under saddle, he would now only be suitable for very light hacking (walk and trot only). In new environments he can occasionally be a little nappy, but it is never dangerous or nasty - he just needs a calm, reassuring rider and voice. Shaky means the world to me. He was my first horse, my teacher, and a huge part of my journey.

I am looking for a 5 star knowledgeable, loving, long-term companion home only where he will be genuinely cared for and understood. Home will be carefully vetted, and I would love to stay in touch and receive updates. Absolutely no jumping or schooling work.


Quality gypsy cob mare


Ref #: 396569
  • Forward going, sensible hack
  • Owned and bred by us, so full knowledge
  • Equal Woah and Go
£10,000 ONO
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Forward going, sensible hack
  • Owned and bred by us, so full knowledge
  • Equal Woah and Go

We have bred and owned Mulligan all her life. She has always been super easy to do, so much so, shes always the one who gets left, and not ridden. Whilst I find her super easy, and if anything, like it when shes not been ridden for a month and is a little fresh, we have had a few try her and found her too forward for them.
There is no need to kick on this mare, leg on means go. She marchs in walk and trots out, keeping up with any horse. She loves a canter across the fields and tracks, but pulls up easy in a snaffle.
Personally I find circles in an arena boring, (plus we don’t have an arena) so we do not do it. If you want a dressage horse, you will need to put the work in, as our idea of fun is hacking. However she has been to dressage and show jump shows with a friend many years ago, so the buttons will still be there, its up to you if you want them, and if so you might need to re program.
Her forte is hacking, heavy traffic is no issue, gates she’s a pro, she’s safe in open spaces, she goes first or last, and is confident on her own.
You can ride and lead her, or from her, so super easy.
She is a unit, i’m 5ft6 and she takes up my leg, and some, I’ve never felt too big for her. Shes super comfortable to ride with plenty of neck and shoulder in front of you.
She is only for sale as I’ve bred myself a taller version and if she gets ridden once a fortnight she’s done well.
If you are into your gypsy cob breeding you will see she has great breeding, and is very correct if you wanted to show.
She needs her own person, but of you are coming from a riding school, are used to kicking every stride, or are hoping for a mother daughter share for your ten year old who is still struggling with rising trot, she is unlikely to be for you, you are likely to feel over horsed.
She is kind, super fun and gives you a great fun ride.
She is and has always been barefoot, easy to clip, bath, spray etc. She is vaccinated, has had a foal (we are a stud) three years ago which she did easily and her foal is still with us (also for sale).
Her ideal home is someone who wants to hack out, have a good canter across fields, do some fun rides etc
We have them in each night, and in the winter we have little / no turnout and she’s happy to stay in 24/7. She doesn’t get fresh or silly when in.
The home and person is every important, as she is a member of our family, but she is surplus to needs at the moment, and she could give someone a lot of fun.
She has an Albion saddle, Seddon bridle and a larger wardrobe than me that I’m happy to discuss

PLEASE READ FULL AD

A gentle horse with an exceptional temperament would suit a competent novice or any family member.

We have owned him two years broken and produced him ourselves

Hack alone or in company great in traffic schooling over show jumps and cross country

With such a lovely laid back temperament he doesnt require everyday work for such a young horse he has a very mature head on young shoulders

He had a flat sarcoid under the center of his belly which is a reflection on his price!

Great to shoe, box, clip catch etc
