Dolly
15.1hh | 5-year-old | Irish Draught mare

Dolly is a super smart little maxi cob with plenty of bone and substance, and a lovely example of the Irish Draught. She has a kind, sane, and sensible way about her and is a pleasure to have around.

She has hunted this season with the Crawley and Horsham and the Staff College Drag, where she proved genuine, straightforward, and very rideable.

She is not strong and has only ever needed a snaffle. Easy to do in all respects, with absolutely no vices.

Dolly will hack alone and is good in traffic. She works sweetly on the flat and will pop a small course of jumps. She has also taken part in clear rounds at Felbridge Show Ground up to 80cm.

She is quality enough for the show ring, with the presence and movement to do well. She has been and seen a little bit of everything and is now ready for her next chapter in life.

A genuine, well-mannered mare who would suit a variety of riders.

Please see our Instagram page @sussexhorsehirelings for further photos and videos of Dolly and other horses available.

Meet ‘Lucky’ - the charmer of the yard! Full of love , character , and mischief!! A big , athletic model of a horse standing at 17.1hh , 7yo. Retired from racing sound , vice , and injury free

Lucky is a lovely horse to have around. So low maintenance and easy to own , you don’t hear a peep from him. Easy to love and pamper , clip, bath, shoe etc - a super chap through and through!!

Luck is very well schooled on the flat. Makes a lovely shape , classy mover and straightforward to ride. Snaffle mouthed , forward and keen but not strong. Has previously done some low level dressage successfully

Loves his jumping , very brave , again is keen and committed but not strong. Not phased by fillers etc. Has taken part in unaffiliated show jumping and shown ti be very mannerly and sensible at shows. Has also attended clinics, riding club etc !

Hacks out like a dream. Probably one of my most reliable on the yard. Hacking along our 60mph main road daily , alone or in company and is always a total saint

Lucky was purchased earlier this year by my client as a first horse for her daughter. Unfortunately, he had proved to have too much engine for her and therefore they have sadly made the very difficult decision to let him go. Lucky is a cheeky chap and I think if he thinks you may let him take the mick then he is inclined to take that opportunity. (I’ve only seen this side to him when fresh and in the school only). However, lucky rides like a schoolmaster when I ride him so it’s pure cheek!! He just simply wants a rider and not a passenger. Understandable at his age , he wants to have some fun!!

A very smart and capable horse who comes with his tack. To include a beautiful fitted Kent and masters saddle in immaculate condition!

Beautiful 16.2hh 2012 Irish (green book) bay gelding, out and out seasoned hunter; his main job throughout his years has been hunting.

This lovely lad knows the hunting job inside out with several seasons under his belt, he will cross any country and jumps whatever is in front of him, a mannerly, enjoyable ride that can operate.

Rolex has three nice paces on the flat, works in a lovely frame and has a beautiful canter, snaffle mouthed and would absolutely produce a nice test.

Unbothered by fillers Rolex will just get on with it jumping wise, plenty of airtime in his tank and he gives you loads of confidence, will go off any stride and knows his job. He’s a proper hunter but a nice enough horse to go on and do any job, he’s hunter trialled, done a few SJ shows, beach rides and fun rides.

An absolute sweetheart to have in the yard. Friendly, affectionate and kind. The best hack in the yard, any traffic, any company, he doesn’t care.

Genuine mannerly hunter open to any vet or trainer.

  • Good in traffic

We are a small RDA centre with a big heart looking for multiple types and sizes of horses from 13.2 – 16.3hh ride and/or drive. We are based South West London and hack out in one of London's royal parks.

Temperament is very important and must be good to handle by multiple people. We offer our horses a variety in their life, mostly involving hacking and fun days out. We don’t have an arena onsite so ability to hack is a must. We offer herd turnout, with work rotation so horses get a large amount of rest days.

Welfare and care are our upmost priority, 5* home waiting with lots of love and care.

Ralph is a kind, genuine 16.2hh Thoroughbred gelding who has previously competed up to BE90/BE100 with former owners. With me, hes enjoyed riding club activities, fun rides, hacking, and regular schooling; which he really enjoys and works nicely in the school.

He’s incredibly straightforward to handle and a true gentleman to have around and used to small children running under his feet and always patient and polite. Ralph hacks both alone and in company, and is the same whether ridden every day or once a week.

He has been the perfect partner to bring me back into riding after having children, and he’d suit a mother/daughter share or someone looking for a safe, easy-going horse to enjoy and have fun with both in and out of the arena.

Only for sale due to lack of time, with my children now taking up riding seriously.

A wonderful, loving home is absolutely essential for this special horse.

  • Dreamy Hunter with 3 seasons experience
  • Class allrounder, unreal over a fence
  • Confidence giving, fun type

Seasoned hunter, allrounder, riding club / fun horse. This very handsome 2016 16hh Irish (green book full recorded breeding) bay gelding is the real deal, there’s nothing he cannot do!

Apollo produces a beautiful test, he’s been in the dressage boards and schools beautifully, he has a lovely self carriage, comfortable and flashy paces and a soft snaffle mouth, he’s an excellent ride and isn’t remotely complicated in any way shape or form.

Apollo has done plenty of hunting, cross country, and showjumping. Hacking wise, Apollo is great in open spaces, good with heavy traffic, machinery etc, and he doesn’t change if he’s on his own or out with others. He’s a nice type, and will jump off any stride and will absolutely help you out if you get it wrong, he’s most certainly a confidence giver over fences and oozes scope, doesn’t look at coloured fillers / rustic fences etc, just the type to take you and look after you.

He’s a friendly lad in the yard and stable, confident and cuddly, easy to have around and a laid back personality.

Apollo is a true allrounder, he’s done a little bit of everything throughout life and is a nice quiet, yet talented ride. He has lots of hunting experience with three seasons under his belt but is equally happy doing riding club stuff.

Open to any vet or trainer

Lovely Riding Club Horse. Very well mannered and uncomplicated RC horse. Brown Gelding, 11yrs, 15.3hh

Sailor has competed at RC level Dressage and SJ in Ireland with success and has lovely paces, a very good canter and works happily in a snaffle bridle.

He is calm and sensible in big open spaces and has been to Hunter Trials and XC schooling - not hot headed or strong - enjoys his jumping and is not spooky.

A very nice horse to hack out and he will go alone or with others, happy to pass any road or farm traffic.

Super kind and easy to do - he has a lovely sweet nature and is a real yard favourite. Very good to catch, will turn out easily with others, leads nicely and ties up without drama!

Good with the farrier, loads easily and is good to clip.

A very nice horse that could do any RC home and would be a good mum & daughter share.

Looking for a new home. 5* 16.3hh 12yro gelding. Same home 9 years.

Amazing hack in company or alone, will cover plenty of miles and happy in traffic. Loves a sponsored ride. Hunted last two years. Doesn't pull but does paw when standing around.

Currently competing unaffilated elementary dressage and winner of multiple leagues over the years.

Wonderful to handle, clip, travel and will live out. Currently in herd turnout out but has lived alone.

This horse is stunning with amazing paces ! He lost an eye as a 5yro but makes no difference to him. He can spook at the strangest things so a good seat belt is needed ! He does not like schooling but will turn up at dressage show like a pro. He jumps when hunting and clinics but looking to step down from competing.

Full 9 year vet history available and no ongoing ailments that need management. Always been kept up to date with jabs, teeth, shoes, physio.

About Portia
Portia is a sweet, genuine 13-year-old 16hh mixed Portuguese sports horse mare (as per passport). She’s a lovely low-level all-rounder who enjoys hacking and a varied life. This is a sad, heartfelt decision, but finding the right long-term home is the priority.
I’ve had her for 5+ years and she’s done a bit of everything with me: low-level show jumping, schooling, hacking, fun rides, XC schooling, hunter trials and she has hunted previously. She can have the odd spook, so I wouldn’t describe her as a totally novice ride.

What she’s like
• Stunning Portuguese sports horse type
• Hacks alone and in company
• Good in traffic and sensible in open spaces
• Fine with dogs
• No vices
• Decent to catch when in a routine
• Good to shoe
• Good in the field
• Used to living out with mares, currently turned out with one gelding

Work and ability
• Works nicely on the flat in a good rhythm
• Basic schooling and lateral work, has done low-level dressage
• Jumped up to 80cm previously, honest and straightforward
• XC schooling, hunter trials, fun rides and hunted previously
• Has been out of consistent work for the past few months

Important note (being upfront)
Portia is not currently a reliable loader. She was recently in a loan home where they hoped to travel and compete, but they didn’t have the time to work through it. With patience and consistent practice, I believe this can improve (I travelled her every other week about two years ago), but I want to be transparent so she goes to a home that suits her.

Suited to
• Confident novice to low-level rider wanting a steady partner
• Hacking, fun rides, low-level dressage and low-level jumping
• A home that doesn’t need to travel often, or someone happy to invest time in loading

Not suited to
• Busy competitive home needing frequent travel right now (loading not consistent)

Health history (transparent)
• Previous ulcers, scoped clear 12 months ago
• One stifle injection previously
• No medical issues in the last 12 months
• Up to date with jabs

Guide price
£5,000 ONO (includes tack + full wardrobe)

SMART COLOURED GELDING

  • Striking gelding with bone and substance

I have owned Rocky since he was a 5 month old scruffy colt completely unhandled and have spent years moulding him into the horse he is today. He will be 5 in 2026. He has never been rushed and we have taken it slowly and correctly with all aspects of his education. He was backed and riding away nicely last year. We mainly hacked - boxing him up and taking him to the woods or around our land (as well as road work) to expose him to a variety of environments. He went out alone and with others and wasn’t bothered either way. Good with all traffic we saw. He isn’t sharp or stupid - can be forward when out exploring but never naughty. I then turned him away coming into winter as he went a bit bum high again so gave him the winter off.

In the time I have owned him he has done numerous outings including a lot of in hand showing growing up and boxing him to different places and showing him the world. Hes quite a brave bold chap now because of this. He’s quite happy to stable or live out. He will come straight to you in the field. Good to load and travel etc.

I am offering him as he is from the field now before he’s brought back into work in the next month or so. I have been battling with this decision of the past 6 months but a relationship breakdown and having a young daughter has just led me to the decision to take a step back from horses altogether for a while, and although I could keep him in my field, it seems unfair knowing he would stand there wasted when he loves being busy.

He is a young big horse and he deserves a knowledgable home that will continue his education and start his schooling work etc.

The foundations are all there and I have poured my love into him for the past 4 years to ensure they are - so please only good long term homes for him.

If I bring him back into work and continue his education his price will increase. Horses like him don’t come up every day.

I have photos from the day he came off the lorry at 5 months old. I am better on WhatsApp as signal isn’t great where I live.

Has had a great start to his education. Been XC schooling, CR SJ and dressage where he took it all in his stride.

A lovely chap who now needs his next person to take him further. Loves his jumping, so will be a great BE or BSJA contender with the right person to take his education to the next level.

Has good ground manners. Stands to be groomed, tack up, mount, shoe and clip. Perfect to load.

All up together with vaccines, wormer, teeth shoes and chiro.

Passed a 5 stage vetting end of August and can be provided.

Banksy has three balanced paces and is getting stronger each time he goes into the school. Nice stable contact and not strong, has just started some lateral work. He has a comfortable and nice jump to him, never over jumps and even this early into jumping life he will go on any stride and always gives a confident feel in into his fences. Out hacking Banks will go upfront or behind.

Banksy would suit a small competent adult or a competent teenager wanting a potential grassroots horse/allrounder. Although an easy ride, he loves his work and requires the right guidance to bring out his full potential. Very sad sale as owner unable to provide what he needs and would love to keep in touch to follow his progress.

Currently on schooling livery with O&M Equestrian. DM for any further info/ videos.

Danny is a fantastic gelding with a fabulous attitude and has taken everything in his stride. He has a wonderful temperament ridden and on the ground. He needs more encouragement to go than stop type of ride. He has 3 lovely paces and is a dream to ride.

Happy to live in or out and can be alone or in a herd

No vices. Good to shoe, catch, travel

Cute and adorable personality, he loves attention and would stand all day being fussed

Holstein x BWB. First to view did buy this lovely chap, hoping for a repeat performance!

Exceptionally well bred & low mileage.

Sad sale as we simply love this horse but with ‘Taylor’s’ jockey on a gap year before uni, it’s time to find him his next loving home.

Well mannered & confidence giving, he’s perfect for someone looking to step up to horses or alternatively wanting to step down to something safer but still fun. He is light in the mouth & responsive to the aids.

Taylor has done a bit of everything between my son & daughter (18 & 14) over the last two years inc camps & eventing clinics at Somerford & Greenlands EC, PC & NSEA - qualifying for national champs with new 12yr old rider.

He loves XC (Badminton grassroots prospect).
Bred to jump (I’m told his half sister won European gold league) yet we’ve only asked up to 90cm of him out & up to 1m15 at home.
He’s even done some archery - my son’s favoured discipline.

100% barefoot, good with farrier, vet, clip etc.
Does not weave or wind suck & is a dream to load (box or trailer).
Is not spooky & has never been known to spin or bolt. Does not buck, rear, kick or bite.

He prefers company in the field and is equally content with mares or geldings.

He really is the best of horses to handle & hack out. Not a nasty bone in his body & never had a day off sick/ unsound. Full history known. No medical issues but will only go somewhere with access to adequate year round turnout. Likes a stable at night.

Bear is a traditional stamp of an Irish Draught, with plenty of bone and substance and a trainable temperament.

He stands at approximately 16.2hh and is rising 7 years old.

A proper weight-carrying heavyweight — like an armchair to ride. As wide as he is tall, with a good solid leg on each corner.

He has hunted this season with us. He is a total gent at home and very easy to do, with absolutely no vices.

Super step with a great jump. He can be trialled out hunting for a fee.

Bear has been a very reliable hunter hireling this season, giving many people a great day’s hunting.

As a youngster, Bear was also lightly shown in hand with great success, including Champion Irish Draught at the Aintree National Show, winner of the 3-year-old youngstock class at the NW Irish Draught Show, gaining his qualification for the Moorbenhall Youngstock Final at the IDHS (GB) breed show, where he placed third.
