  • The most straightforward young horse you could find
  • Flashy paces with super attitude to her work
  • Quiet and kind in every way

Fozzy
15.2 ISH 4yr old 2021 mare
Fozzy is the easiest mare you can find, perfect to do in all way, loves a fuss and stands dead quiet for everything. She is the most bombproof young horse you could find, wise beyond her years.

She is an angel to hack alone and in company, good in traffic and open spaces goes in front or behind. Has hunted where she stood quietly, perfect with hounds and didn’t heat up or get strong.

Fozzy works sweetly on the flat with 3 balanced flashy paces and wants to work correctly. She is not at all sharp and been ridden by novices, she needs more education but has the best attitude and wants to try.

To jump she is dead bold always going and on any stride, not phased by fillers, been xc where she jumped everything, steps ditches water and said yes to everything.

She is not the finished product and did come over from Ireland misssold and poor with an awful coat, she has come on so much in her time with us and just can’t ask for more from her attitude never gets fresh or silly even after weeks off can hop straight back on and just wants to please but she needs someone who is happy to continue giving her the tlc she deserves as she is no doubt going to be rather special


SUPER FLASHY COB!

  • Podge, 14.2 4yo red and white gelding
  • A lovely stamp of a horse with flashy looks and excellent paces
  • Would be a fantastic summer project

Podge is a lovely stamp of a horse with flashy looks and excellent paces I believe he would look well within the show ring.

He has been xc schooling where he is super brave and honest, jumped everything asked of him and behaved extremely well in the open space.

Podge works well in the flat in all three paces. He is always ridden in a snaffle.

Can be mounted for the block, hacks alone or in company and isn’t phased by traffic or farm animals.

Has been ridden by a few different riders including teenagers.

He would be a fantastic summer project for someone wanting something that is kind, has already seen the world and ready to be produced further!

He has a clean vet cert, wormed, teeth done & has been done by the farrier.

Please no timewasters or novices as although he is exceptionally well behaved he is still a young horse.

Plenty of videos and pictures upon request.

Currently being ridden by 5’4 lady.


For sale Oscar - grey gelding -15 years old - 14.3/15hh

  • Oscar - grey gelding -15 years old - 14.3/15hh
  • One in a million

Oscar is a much loved, gorgeous boy, who is for sale because as I’m going travelling. I’ve owned him for around eight years so this decision hasn’t been easy. So need to find him a new best friend and a very loving home.

Would suit a confident/experienced young Rider who wants to have fun with low level riding club activities like pony club. Would also suit a mother/daughter share. Isn’t a first pony or a novice ride.

Oscar loves hacking and going on adventures. Not phased by traffic or livestock.
Hasn’t hacked alone in a while, can be a little nappy alone but with someone who is confident enough to push him forward, should be good as gold.

He works very nicely in the school, has shown some beautiful dressage movements but wouldn’t say its his favourite thing to do. He gets quite lazy and can also test his rider and see what he can get away with, by chucking in a buck in there. Once shown he can’t get away with this then never puts a hoof out of place.

Oscar loves jumping, i’ve jumped here and there whilst owning him but I believe he did a bit with his previous owner. Has also done cross-country, hunted and showjumping courses with his previous owner.

He’s gone to a few show jump clinics with his current rider height around 60 to 70 cm, but he could go higher as he has previously.

Oscar is amazing to shoe clip and handle in every way on the ground and off.

Does get slightly nervous travelling and loading due to a scare in a trailer a few years back and hasn’t done a lot of travelling since. Although the last few times he’s been very good, quite nervous in the trailer and sweaty when arrives. Can’t imagine this would be a big issue if worked on as he was as good as gold travelling before.

He is one in 1 million horse. I’ve had such a fun time with him, so only want to send him to an honest and loving home. No time wasters please.

  • Sweet natured, fun pony who is easy to do in all ways
  • Loves to hack
  • Lives in or out

Blackberry (Berry) is a beautiful, sweet natured mare who has been part of our family for two and a half years. She has been there and done it all but at nearly 17 she is looking for a quieter life.

She absolutely loves to hack but no longer enjoys schooling so we are looking for a home where she can hack and do fun rides. She is wonderful to hack and is great in any traffic, around farm machinery or dogs. Berry prefers company when she hacks but she will hack alone with a capable rider.

Berry is fit, up to date with vaccinations, teeth and shoeing and is ready to go out and have fun this Spring/Summer. She has no lumps, bumps or health issues and has never been lame. We're only selling as our daughter is no longer riding.

She isn't a beginners pony as she takes confidence from her rider, she would suit someone who wants a fun pony to hack and do fun rides with some jumps which she loves.

She can be sold with her high quality tack and huge selection of rugs by separate negotiation.

Berry is a lovely girl who needs a loving home and a rider to have fun with.

Meet our yard reliable ‘Jack’ - a stunning 14.2HH, 9yo, cob gelding
Jack has no lumps nor bumps , blemishes nor vices. A true to type , good stamp , plenty of feather and a super sort.

Jack is as kind and affectionate as you could wish for in and out of the stable. Extremely easy to do and loves a fuss. Enjoys being bathed, groomed , and pampered. Lives in or out, perfect to load and travel, and great to catch! Does require sedation for clipping

Jack works well in the school and is obedient up and down the transitions in all three paces. Recently been professionally schooled so has had a great education. Will willingly pop coloured fences although I must say his talent does not lie in this sphere!! As honest and brave as you like but lacking his inner show jumper! That said. He’s great over logs etc out hacking / funrides. So brave and never says no! Currently ridden by my novice apprentice yard girl and proving to be quite push button for her and extremely patient and kind

Jack hacks alone or in company and is a true ‘no questions asked’ type. He goes out in the heaviest of traffic with us and doesn’t bat an eyelid! Stands perfectly at the mounting block , mannerly but fun in open spaces , lead the breakers out, or slot in down the line type

With his current owner Jack has been on numerous fun and beach rides (which he absolutely loves!!). As well as many ‘one handed neck rein TREC’s’, cross country schooling etc! He’s had a go at most things!

Also had great natural horsemanship training and is supper mannerly and obedient as a result

While being absolutely foot perfect with us , his owner has placed him in sales livery with me as she just feels sometimes he can get a touch ‘giddy’. I believe this has been on very few occasions where he has got a touch excited. No bucking , rearing etc! We haven’t seen this from him while being with us but due to this we are not wanting to sell to a novice. He would suit someone who wants something very straight and sensible but also wants to have a bit of fun and not a kick along!

He’s a super chap, we absolutely love having him with us and I just know , someone is going to be absolutely landed with him!

Vaccinated to date
Open to any vet or inspection
Comes with all of his tack

We are looking for a superstar pony for our petite 8 year old (120cm) approx 11.2 - 12.2hh

He is walking, trotting and cantering off the lead and currently trotting small courses up to about 40cm.

Some minor health conditions considered as long as disclosed and reflected in the price.

We are an experienced family home and have a younger sibling waiting in the wings, so would like something that we can treasure for many years.
