Caelea
15.1 10yo Andalusian ANCCE registered mare

Backed at 5YO and has done a range of unaffiliated dressage (has potential to go further if owner wanted to) showjumping, pole work clinics, arena cross country and cross country. She lacks confidence with the cross country but does well with a confident rider. The last few months she’s been coming back into schooling after having time off whilst i had a baby. But was hacked throughout several times a week.

Brilliant to hack out alone or in company. Not been on a road due to our yard having miles of off road hacking.

She will need a knowledgeable rider to bring her back on and establish fitness and muscle again

- Easy to handle
- Easy to clip
- Never bucked or reared
- No stable vices
- Very safe with hacking alone or in company
- Good with vet & farrier
- She’s a very low maintenance horse, just has ad lib forage, no short feed.

Comes with full tack & rugs (Louisa Cuomo GP saddle)

Was bred in the UK, full family & health history known

Happy to answer any further questions

Quality, scope, and presence – a serious event prospect

  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Outstanding eventing potential with quality movement and scope
  • 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.

  • Incredible temperament
  • To mature at 15.2hh
  • A true family horse/Competitions horse/share
Back up for sale after people who brought him were annoyed his isn’t standing at 15.2hh as of today! He is to mature at 15.2hh as per the advert, Guinness is a beautiful 4-year-old full Connemara gelding with a striking iron grey and the most wonderful temperament you could wish for.

He is quite simply one of the friendliest, sweetest and kindest horses to handle. He adores people and will happily lie down in his stable with you for hours. He has impeccable manners, is easy to catch, load and clip, and is the sort of horse that quickly becomes everyone's favourite.

A true traditional stamp of a Connemara, Guinness is exceptionally handsome and has all the quality, substance and presence that are becoming increasingly hard to find. He regularly turns heads wherever he goes and is, without doubt, one of the nicest Connemaras I've seen in a long time.

Being only 4 years old, he is naturally still green and has plenty of education ahead of him. However, he hacks out happily, is sensible under saddle and has shown a fantastic attitude to everything asked of him. He possesses beautiful, expressive movement alongside a bold, honest jump, happily jumping everything put in front of him.

With his temperament, movement and scope, Guinness has all the attributes to make a superb Pony Club pony, eventer, riding club horse or all-round family horse. He would equally suit a mother/daughter share and is the type that will continue to improve with further schooling and experience.

Guinness arrived from Ireland a few weeks ago for my daughter to produce, but due to her recent relocation to Ireland for a new job, he is unfortunately not getting the time and attention he deserves and is therefore available to the very best home.

A truly special young Connemara with a heart of gold, endless potential and looks to match.

Hunted in Ireland, XC Schooling & SJ Schooling – Has Done a Bit of Everything. Beautiful Movement. Bold, Honest Jump. Pony Club, Eventing & Riding Club Prospect. Superb Mother/Daughter Share

Mac is pleasure to have around, he has the cuddliest personality and loves attention. HE loves fuss and adores being groomed, he will stand there for hours.

Mac has had a quiet few years due to his owner having 2 young children. He has come back into work from having the winter off and is really enjoying ridden life.

Mac is very soft mouthed and works in a natural frame in 3 paces, he is weak schooling but is coming on leaps and bounds in just being in the arena for a month.

He retired from racing 7 years ago, you wouldn’t believe he was a race horse!

He is not a novice ride as he can be spooky hacking, nothing horrible he will spook at a leaf but won’t bat an eyelid in traffic. I have ridden him past trains, Lorrie’s, tractors and quads. Naturally he is more confident in company but will improve hacking solo in time.

Sold with his entire wardrobe.

  • County level

A rare opportunity to purchase a genuine top-class show cob with an exceptional record. Having won at both HOYS and the Royal International, he has competed and succeeded at the very highest level and still has plenty to offer his next owner.

He is a true gentleman with the most wonderful temperament. Kind, genuine, and easy to do in every way, he is regularly ridden by my 10-year-old niece and is a pleasure both on the ground and under saddle.

He loves his work, enjoys jumping, and has successfully competed in Working Show Horse classes alongside his impressive showing career. With his quality, presence, and proven track record, he would easily be competitive in Veteran classes and could continue to enjoy a successful career in the show ring.

He hacks happily in company but can be nervous when ridden out alone, so we are looking for a home that will suit his needs and allow him to thrive.

Good to clip, load, travel, and for the farrier. A straightforward horse to own and a much-loved member of the family.

This is a genuinely heartbreaking sale due to a change in career meaning he is no longer getting the time and attention he deserves. He is far too talented and special to be wasted in a field and deserves a home where he can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Stunning & Kind Black Gelding - Semi Retired

  • Black
  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Absolutely gorgeous boy, inside & out
  • Kind, friendly, easy to do and easy to have
  • Sound with no vices or quirks
Jack is a stunning 16.1 almost jet black TB x WB with the easiest temperament. There is nothing bad to say about him; he's easy to mix, keep, handle, catch and live with. Always looks tidy, is happily barefoot in the field but will probably need shoes on to get back into work. He currently lives out 24/7 rugged for the weather, but has lived in at night and loves his stable.

We had to retire Jack from show jumping and all rounder life as he just wasn't happy to jump. We could never put our finger on it other than some very mild KS on his x-ray (can be provided). Jack won't pass a vetting but is strong, happy & healthy, so he's not going to cost a lot to look after. He is immaculately cared for and completely paddock sound, recent videos can be sent of him having a jolly time. No lumps or bumps and has been kept up to date with dentist and farrier for filing.

Jack can be bought back into work and kept up together with physio and flat work but is sold from the field as currently unridden. We've had him on grass livery for the last 6 months due to my daughter having two competition horses who take up all our time. Jack has so much love left to give so we do wish him to have a new family to hang out with. He loves long hacks, is used to farm machinery, huge lorries passing close by and is bomb proof in all traffic. We've never hacked him alone but he is impeccable in company; front, back or middle.

Would suit a mother's hack to take out with children, happy hacker for easy rides, companion or the ultimate Black Beauty field ornament if you wanted one!! Jack is always majestic to behold. He loves a fuss and cuddle, is great with kids, dogs, other horses and turns out with anyone / anything. Very nosey, so always with you in the field and leaning in if you're chatting nearby.

Based in Bristol, priced low as the right home is of most importance and we will wish to stay in touch. Strictly no dealers.
