15.1hh Chunky Piebald Gelding, 6 years, wise and sensible beyond his years!

One in a million saint he is a safe and a real steady confidence builder for someone who wants to take things slowly. Great in traffic, hacks out well with other horses and on his own, he remains steady either behind or in front. He has been to the gallops, fun rides, tons of hacking and even a diddy one day event, behaving impeccably at all times!

He would make an ideal all round family horse for hacking, pony club, low level riding club or hunter. He does whatever job you want him to do with a smile on his face. He is exactly the same away from home as he is at home also if you don’t ride him for a while.

His feet are solid and goes bare foot and is excellent with the farrier and to catch, clip, bath, load, travel etc, Easy to keep lives in or out and will stand like a rock to be brushed and messed about with. He is wormed, vaccinated, passported, physio all up to date. Full history known.

10* home is paramount for this fabulous little horse as it is truly not his fault he is up for sale.

This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, he was purchased initially to regain my confidence after a 10 year break. He has done this in bucket loads in under a year hence the only reason for an extremely sad and reluctant sale as I now need something bigger and more forward.

Please no time wasters as this is extremely difficult and sad for me.

Mouse, aka "Moustaffa" is a kind and gentle heavy weight cob. 13yrs old 16.2 hh weight carrier.

Mouse has a strong natural horsemanship background and has worked on the ground in our equine assisted therapy programme. For a big girl she is very respectful, and, once you are her "people" she will shine.

She is nicely forward going. Hacks out alone or in company and is good in rural traffic. Good to clip, wash etc. Good for dentist, farrier to trim - but has only ever been barefoot.

Rides western or english. Bitted or bitless.

She can occasionally show some mild stringhalt when coming out cold but no lameness issues

She turns out alone or in herd with mares and geldings and is not a dominant mare.

A very reluctant sale, but she needs a more homely home, with a mum (or two) to give her the confidence and consistency she deserves. We have too many people handling her for her to build that special attachment she is looking for.

A really genuine, super mare who loves gentle attention, grooming and pampering.

Bess has 3 light and balanced paces, she's well schooled and has started her lateral work. She'd suit somebody who wants to work up the levels, as she's so rideable and manoeuvrable. She has jumped around a course up to 1m in height, and has jumped higher with me at home. She loves her cross country and is brave and safe. She's safe and sensible to a fence so would equally suit a more nervous rider who would like to build confidence. She's been used in cross country lessons by novices and has carried them around safely. She's very straight forward in every aspect of ridden work.

She's been kept in a college where she's been used for riding lessons varying from total beginners to advanced. She's been used in BHS stage 1 to stage 3 exams and has recently participated in the Stage 4 coach. She's competed in unaffiliated Dressage, BD and some unaffiliated SJ. She will be going to ODE in August to add to her CV.

Has done:


Beach rides
Fun rides
Hunted
Hacks alone and in company
Unfazed by large crowds
Unaffiliated Dressage and SJ, and BD
Good in traffic
Good to Load, Catch, Handle, clip etc
Good for the farrier, Dentist, Saddler etc

In short, she's the perfect all rounder. She'd be the perfect ladies horse as she's so easy to do everything with. She'd also be the perfect family horse, so would be a good mother/ daughter/ grandmother share. She loves being fussed and just absolutely loves people. She's an incredibly versatile mare, so would easily turn to whatever would be needed from her, but would be best doing a little of everything as she enjoys the variety. She has absolutely zero mareish traits, and has got such a wonderful personality. She's honest, genuine, willing and all the best attributes you could ask from a horse.

She comes with all of her tack, recently fitted. She's got a full wardrobe with her too.

She will only go to the best home. This is an incredibly hard sale as she's become part of the family, so please no time wasters.

Home is more important than price, so price is negotiable.

Please get in touch if more information is required.

Most enjoyable hack in south east!

Eddie is a 4 year old unusually marked dun gelding. He is more of an old head on young shoulders type, but he is a green wobbly baby still who can be lazy! I will not sell Eddie to a novice, due to his age.

He is more suited to someone who wants to go exploring the countryside hacking, beach rides or hunt hacks.

He does not require everyday exercise, he can be picked up and left without getting hot or fizzy.

Eddie does not love the school, whilst he will walk trot and canter, he finds this difficult due to his breeding and requires a strong rider to keep him going round, or he will just collapse back to his favourite pace, walk. However is improving in this area.

He is easy to clip, bath, shoe, stable, catch etc… no vices or quirks

Super cob Joey is a very hard sort to find he is the full package. He’s 15.1hh and a true all rounder beautifully put together . 

Super safe and fantastic in the heaviest of traffic he is 4 years old but with a very old head on his shoulders . 

Joey has been to pony club , local clinics and happy to pop around 70/80cm courses here at home with a super attitude to his work . He flys out cross country but being safe and sensible at the same time . 

He is just the perfect gent ! He has perfect stable manners, great to clip , bath, shoe and loves to be groomed the children have been all over him . He even lets them climb on him when lay down in his box . 

There is not enough words to do this little horse justice he is adored by everyone that meets him . 

He works well on the flat for his age and his suppleness and contact is coming on well . Joey is the perfect mother daughter share or for someone wanting to go and have uncomplicated fun . 

Due to his age I would not say he is suitable for a complete novice even tho he never puts a foot wrong. 

He is open to any vet or trainer he has passed a 5 star vetting and ready for a summer of fun. Lot of photos and videos on request

CASHELBAY RYNES

The time has come to find Bramble her forever home. She has been with us from an unbroken 3 year old, was professionally broken in and taken her ridden career nice and slow.

Brambles breeding speaks for itself, her sire being Cashelbay Prince and Dam Cashelbay Esmerelda

Bramble is good to hack alone or in company, lives in or out, currently with 2 geldings, ride and lead, clip ( no headcollar needed), bath, shoe. She has regular physio checks but the last few times not needed. She’s up to date with her jabs and teeth. Good for the farrier currently has fronts on, has fantastic feet Great to load, travel and will happily stand on or off whilst at shows. Been in a trailer /3.5 and 7.5. Doesn’t need company. She’s a big dog in the stable loves a fuss and cuddle happily stay in or live out. Doesn’t change after a week off

Bramble has been to stay away shows, pony club rallies, dressage scores of 71%
showing
arena eventing, 90/1m,
x country she trains at 100 competed at 80
153 working Hunter, recently placed well in her first HOYS class.

She is BS registered and currently jumping 105 with scope for more.

She has a great step, fantastic paces and enjoys her job. She’s not a first ridden as bred for competition so ideally I’d like her to go to a family home where she can grow with the rider. She will happily stand in a busy arena not phased by crouds or hustle of competitions

She will come with a full wardrobe including saddle , bridle, rugs etc

Open to any vetting or trainer

Super sweet happy hacker

  • Very kind temperament
  • Great hack
  • Loves nothing more then being pampered
£3,000
  • Thoroughbred
  • Grey
  • Gelding
  • 17 years
  • 16.3 hands
  • Very kind temperament
  • Great hack
  • Loves nothing more then being pampered

Looking for a new FOREVER home.
Frankie (Land Bank) 16.3hh 17 years young.

I will be incredibly particular as to where Frankie goes, a 5 star home is a must and references gratefully accepted, he is the kindest and most sweet natured horse who deserves nothing more than love and affection. I’ve owned him since 2016 but he has been out on loan for the last 4 years due to a change in my circumstances and wanting to find someone who would have the time to give him the love care and attention he deserved and at the time I wasn't ready to completely let him go. Sadly the elderly lady who had him battled with illness and has since passed away so he has since come back to me.

I’ve had Frankie back for just over a month now and due to his previous loaners sad circumstances he wasn’t in the best of condition when he arrived back with me so I have been slowly getting him back into work and feeding him the correct food and he is already looking much better and getting back on track. I have had Frankie for the purpose of hacking and low level flat work/showing we have competed in ROR classes in hand and ridden always had a wonderful day out and if we got a rosette it was a bonus! I have not jumped him as it never interested me nor am I confident so I don’t wish for him to start this now. I would ideally like to find a home in the South West so I can stay in contact with his new home and receive updates and possibly visit from time to time.

Frankie will come with a full and extensive wardrobe of freshly washed and re proofed rugs with detachable necks (pretty much every weight combo) stable rugs/sheets, fly rug, fly masks, black English leather saddle/ Merino wool Half Lined GP Numnah, grackle bridle with a Neue Schule snaffle + More. I never skimped out on his attire so they are good quality and well looked after.

The good bits - Frankie is an absolute sweetheart he loves nothing more then being pampered and will stand being fussed for hours, he is good to ride never nasty or strong, snaffle mouthed, goes by himself or in company however you need to be competent as he still needs "riding" - it’s not a case of just sitting there like he’s a kick along cob and every horse could have a moment now and again. Good in traffic, he is great to shoe and since Covid he’s only been shoed on his fronts, when being clipped he basically falls asleep, having his teeth done never makes an issue of it, loads and travels fantastic in a trailer or lorry. No horse is truly bomb proof so I will not use that term but he’s pretty special and comes close and absolutely deserves the world. I have many people that would vouch for him and his gorgeous temperament. He’s low mileage for his age I’ve never pushed him and just enjoyed having a sweet horse to play around with, I wish circumstances were different and I could keep him forever but I have to be realistic.

The not so good bits - Frankie has a tendency to wind suck after food or being given treats over the stable door, likely to have been picked up during his time in racing. It’s never been an issue for me and has never worried anyone who I’ve been with at livery yards as it’s only minor. He has a slight splint on his near fore which has never caused any lameness. Frankie also has an enlarged thyroid - A Goiter, this is not uncommon in older horses and has caused no concerns.

This is a sad sale of a wonderful horse that I am just not in a position to keep.
£3000 with his whole wardrobe included. The perfect home is ABSOLUTELY essential I am in no rush to sell him and believe the right person will come along at the right time.

Arthur is fabulous little horse who is looking for his permanent home. He is well bred by Willowcroft Real Prince, a showing type stallion that has sired many in hand and ridden champions. His dam sire is Stormhill Miller, a popular choice among breeders who had eventing in mind. Stomhill miller has sired many horses who have gone on to 5* eventing.

As a youngster Arthur quickly got to grips with the showing world and had been quite successful as a novice/Intermediate show riding type. He has 3 expressive paces and good conformation. Moving on from showing, Arthur has been in amateur homes, enjoying hacking, pleasure rides and some unaffiliated events.

Arthur is well schooled, however due to the nature of his previous hacking/amateur home, his schooling has taken a backward step and is now coming on again nicely. He has lovely paces and an uphill canter.

Arthur has been to a handful of training shows with us, jumping courses of 80cm, although a little green in this field he is very bold and willing. He is happy to jump off a miss stride, and was not phased by fillers/planks etc.

Arthur is good to hack alone and in company, and has seen village and farm traffic.

Arthur is good to clip, shoe, box, load, catch etc. is an easy horse to have around the yard, happily being turned out with mare, geldings or on his own.

Arthur is currently up for sale as a 'project' to continue his education. This is reflected in his price.

Open to vet.
Tack available at separate cost.

Ava - 16hh, 4 year old registered Irish Draft mare full breeding recorded. By King Vinny (Welcome Diamond/Diamond Lad).

Where to start with this absolute superstar!

Ava is what alot of people are looking for. Easy going chilled out temperament, shrugs her shoulders at new things and just tries incredibly hard to please. An absolute pet on the ground she’s like a big dog and just wants to be loved. Probably the easiest young horse we’ve ever had.

Superb mover, plenty of jump if wanted.

Hacks alone or in company and is good in traffic. Good in open spaces and doesn’t hot up.

Done plenty of hacking, small bit of XC schooling and been out to arena hires where she was very easy. Starting to string a few fences together and is very honest.

Green on the flat as to be expected for a horse of her age/size as she hasn’t been hammered round in circles, but she’s starting to learn about working into a contact and is picking things up quickly. She is a really flashy mover and would put some dressage bred horses to shame! More of a leg on ride but not a total kick along.

She really would go on and do any job, or she’d just as happily plod round the block a few times a week.

Good to catch/load/shoe/groom (her favourite thing!)/wash off.

A very kind mare who is a pleasure to have around, a real best friend. She’d be a really nice one if you’re looking to bring on your first young horse.

Sad sale of much loved family Horse. We have owned Skye for nearly 3 years now. My daughter moved on to Skye from ponies and she has proven to be such a fabulous first horse. However due to personal circumstances we haven’t had her out as much as we would have liked over the last two years and now she’s sadly outgrown as my 15 year old daughter wants to move on to horses and has grown long in the leg.

Prior to that, Skye has taken part in Pony Club and Riding Club activities including camp.

Competing at 70/80cm but definitely has scope for more. Easy to handle, clip, load etc. Snaffle mouthed. Forward but not strong. Can pop in an excitable buck but nothing dangerous. Never reared for us. Can hack alone or in company, not spooky and lives on a farm so used to traffic and farm machinery. Travels in a trailer or horsebox.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth etc. Has melanomas but never caused a problem – happy for any vetting or access to vet history and vetting certificate from August 2022.

Lives out in summer and comes in in Winter. Very low maintenance and low mileage for age.

16.2 13yo Irish draught x Friesian gelding

Tornado is the most fun horse with the biggest personality. He absolutely loves life , loves work and is looking for someone to match his enthusiasm.

Tornado is an incredibly impressive horse , he gets comments everywhere he goes. He's naturally uphill and works beautifully on the flat. He's been to unaffiliated dressage with good scores and promising comments. He's naturally balanced and has cadence in abundance.

He has been to jumping clinics and lessons as well as arena cross country. Tornado loves to jump. He's super brave to a fence - doesn't look at fillers etc. His enthusiasm to a fence is unmatched and he always takes you to the jump , will jump off any stride.

Hacks alone or in company - good in traffic but needs a bit of support passing the big stuff.

Good in open spaces. Loves the beach and LOVES water. I've never met a horse quite like it with his love for water.

Tornado has had an easy life - growing up in the hills of wales and has been in the same low level home since he was 5. Mainly hacking and clinics but in the last year has increased his schooling and jumping and is absolutely thriving.

Tornado is not suitable for a novice, he's a big lad who knows his strength and can get strong , although we only ever ride him in a snaffle and if you stop pulling he stops but he would play on someone's nerves. (A novice could hack him in company)

A great horse to have on the yard - he's a real character and everyone loves him. This isn't at all an easy decision.

We have owned Penny for over 4 years and she has been a good horse for us during that time. She was bred in Ireland and was used briefly for hunting before being imported into England. During this period she sustained a minor injury to her right hind leg and during her recuperation period she was successfully put into foal. This incident has left a scar on her right hind leg but this does not affect her in any way.

Since being with us, she has been a great allrounder, she has done fun rides, dressage tests, showjumping and cross country. She has also competed up to 90cm eventing and showjumping with the pony club and attended club events such as camp and championships at Bicton.

Penny lives out 24/7 with our other companion horse on private land, but will happily go into a shelter/ stable when needed. There is a livery yard in close proximity to us, where we have use of their facilities, and Penny is always very interested in the activity there and would easily fit into a busier environment. She can be quite a dominant mare and would soon find her position in any group.

She is excellent with vets, farriers, physio, clipping and travelling. Penny is up to date with all vaccinations and has very good teeth and feet, she is currently shod on a 6 week cycle.

Penny has had time off from schooling and competing over the last 12 months due to difficulties but is now coming nicely back into work as a happy hacker. She does need an experienced and capable rider as she can be strong and can on occasion rear / buck. She is a brave horse but still needs to gain confidence from her rider. Penny will hack out solo or with other horses, but sometimes she will get excited and can misbehave when in company.

This is very sad sale due to impending University commitments and we are seeking to find a new long term experienced owner for Penny so that she may enjoy many more fulfilled and happy years together with a caring partner who will bring out all the best she has to offer.

I have owned Spike since he was a four year old, he's been the best horse I have owned over the years and only thinking of finding him the perfect loan home as he moves into a quieter stage of his life and I have purchased another gelding who has a tendency to bully him and after all he has given me I would love him to find somewhere that has the time and facilities for him to enjoy life and to be enjoyed.

I have done some basic dressage tests on him and many sponsored rides, he is very sensible out at shows, he will turn out with any horse, mare or gelding, he loads well and is the perfect gentleman to handle on the ground.

I haven't had the time to ride him much for the last year so he would need a gradual fitness programme before being taken anywhere, or alternatively he would be perfect in a mother/daughter situation where you need a sensible lead horse or companion.

In the past he has suffered from sweet itch but that has gone now and he has had no other illnesses, he came to me with stiffness in his sacroilliac joint, he has had two injections which showed no improvement, this has never prevented him from doing anything, except perhaps better roundness and elevation in a dressage test in his younger days.

I am only mentioning it as I want to give full disclosure, I feel that he is now just showing the normal slight stiffness for a 21 year old who is not fit.
