Izzy is a part bred Welsh mare who has been in the same home with us for the past nine years. She is really nice natured and loves to please. Clean limbed, very attractive mare with showing bloodlines. She has done all round activities with me including unaffiliated dressage, show jumping and cross country on BE tracks. She is well schooled and understands lateral aids, walk to canter etc. She is nice to school - forward going without running from the hand or leg. As she is now 17, she is looking for a home where she can enjoy going out to the occasional show, hacking, and/or a bit of jumping.

She enjoys pleasure rides, she is great to hack in company, she takes confidence from her rider when hacking alone. We have off road hacking so I can't comment on what she would be like in traffic. She is good to shoe, clip and catch. For travelling she is better loading onto a lorry than a trailer but will load onto a trailer with a training halter. She travels well on both.

Genuine reason for sale. She is better with unrestricted turn out and shelter and for this reason I won't sell her to a home with limited turn out. She turns out well with both mares and geldings and is nice natured in the field. She is currently coming back in to work after a winter break. She is a kind mare but not for absolute novices. Happy to discuss her past veterinary history.

She is a lovely mare and I'm really just looking for a kind, experienced home for her. Good home is much more important than price. Price to include some rugs and tack is available by separate negotiation. Based near Thetford Forest.

  • Leg in each corner , solid stamp

Jemima , 15.1hh 5yr old Irish cob mare. Nice stamp , well marked with a leg in each corner. Potential hunter / alrounder / riding club.

Jemima has been with us for a couple of months now , previously been in the same home since a 2yr old. She has done lots of hacking with us , alone and in company , good in all traffic including busses farm machinery bikes etc.

Super easy in open spaces. She has been on farm rides and enjoys xc schooling. She makes a nice shape over a fence and really enjoys it. Her flatwork is improving all the time , she has 3 nice paces , she enjoys her work and has potential to produce a nice dressage test. She can work in a nice shape but not the finished article just yet. We have taken Jemima out to arena hires , she has jumped a small course of showjumps and not phased by fillers.

She is easy to take out , loads and travels well and stands on the box well alone.

Easy to shoe , bath , clip etc. She can sometimes be tricky to catch in a big mixed herd , but we feel with a 1-1 home or maybe just more of a routine this will improve. At the moment she isn’t getting loads of work due to having so many breakers in.

She’s happy being ridden once a week or every day. Jemima has no vices lumps or bumps. She isn’t a novice ride as she is forward going and still green in places. She will need a balanced rider , she has never bucked reared etc but she is a nicely responsive ride. She can sometimes be a bit impatient when asked to stand once ur on , but stands at the mounting block like a rock.

Get on and go sort of a cob! Lovely summer project for someone , she has all the basics there just needs finishing off and would really thrive in a 1-1. Someone will have loads of fun with this cob!

Silver is a fantastic horse who has taught many the ropes and can be ridden by riders of different experience or interests.

She’s equally happy popping x poles, jumping a 1m track, steadily walking round, hacking in heavy traffic, going xc or full on hunting.

Very very sad sale by current owner due to exams etc after 2 happy years where she has instilled confidence

At mine on sales livery, where she has been ridden by a tall lad, nervous over 50yr old lady, and enthusiastic teenager.

She really is a true diamond

Ivor is a genuine, kind-natured horse looking for a knowledgeable home where he can be enjoyed to his full potential.

He is an excellent hack, both alone and in company, and is happy to go anywhere, making him a very enjoyable and confidence-giving ride out and about.

Previously competed up to Foxhunter level (BS name: Inverness), giving him a solid foundation and plenty of ability. More recently, he has been used for hacking, lessons, and fun rides, which he thoroughly enjoys.

Ivor is a friendly, sociable horse who loves attention and is easy to have on the yard. He is good to shoe, clip, load, etc., and is happy living in or out.

He is not a novice ride as he can occasionally be spooky in the school, so would best suit a confident, capable rider who will get the best from him.

He has a mild shiver which has remained unchanged and has never affected his work. He has passed two 5-stage vettings.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, and routine care. Open to any vetting.

Price negotiable to the right, knowledgeable home.

  • Eye Catching Quality Pony
  • Very Easy Lovely Natured
  • Home Produced

Stardust is such a lovely pony, never nasty, will lick you all day long.

11 years old by Kylebeck Crespo. He is a lovely chestnut / slightly roan in places with striking markings and his well known white feather display on his o/s flank.

Very well shown in hand and sired many foals before being cut for his ridden career. We have had him for just over 3 years and really don't want to sell him but my daughter has changed jobs and the hours and days have made it impossible to ride and show any ponies. This is so sad as he is at his best now. Advertised him before, took him off because so many of the wrong people ringing, he is loved and will only go to the right home.

You can take him into the buziest rings and he never get hot or edgy, pouring rain, heavy mud.

Never strong, ridden on light contact, Big softy , easy to do , totally home produced , perfect confirmation, has a glass like coat in the summer and very little in winter.

Lives in and out happily, good with others, farrier, travel.

Can be found easily on the internet.

1st Devon County 2024

2nd in couple of RI qualifiers

Should easily go out pick up his tickets if you want to show but he loves a varied life.

Stardust is so loved he will not be sold to anyone, he deserves the best of homes. He is priced to sell not put up for a silly figure. His Black country saddle available at extra cost.

Location Somerset, 3 miles from junction 23 of M5

Ring and ask anything but don't want text warriors and I will not hold conversation on text messages, have some respect.

  • Fantastic temperament

Daisy is a 15.3hh Comtois mare 11yrs. Big, sturdy weight carrier who enjoys life in the slow lane. Definitely more woah than go. Very laid back, docile, kind natured and patient.

She hacks out alone and in company. Good both on or off the lead rein with complete beginners and disabled riders. She is completely unflappable, bombproof and traffic proof.

She is a comfortable armchair ride. Easy to do in all ways. No vices or health issues. Safe hack on the open mountain.

She is the perfect unicorn that everyone is looking for and is worth her weight in gold. She will canter happily in company and stands quietly at the mounting block. Previously worked in a Trekking Centre and used to lots of different riding abilities for both lessons and hacks. Suitable for RDA.

Price includes tack. She is completely unmarish, you wouldn't know that she is a mare (unless you looked).

Sadly for sale due to our retirement and reducing numbers.

Beautiful 15.1/2hh Irish Mare, 6y/o Dora for sale.

Dora is the most sweet natured and kind horse. She is a real good-doer.

Dora is broken and riding away, but still green as she is a late starter, for this reason she is not suitable for a novice. Dora is more woah than go, and requires her rider to push her forward. She is coming along nicely, but like with any green horse can be a bit unbalanced.

She has started jumping, and is showing real potential and scope. She is very confident and not a stopper!

She would make a lovely low level all rounder. Very safe and sensible to hack alone or in company.

She has been out hunting and to dressage/sj shows where she behaved impeccably.

Dora does not like clippers and has to be sedated.

This sale is truly heartbreaking so please no time wasters, or joyriders. Home is more important than price so offers are considered.

Please note Dora has no recorded breeding but was sold to me as a Connemara X. My guess is she is an ID X Connemara.

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 confident 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.
