£5,000 OVNO
  • Cob

Rising 5. Cob mare.

Been professionally schooled since September 2025. Enjoys hacking alone or in company and jumping. She has a very kind temperament, good in all ways with no vices.

She is still green due to her age but making steady progress with schooling

Fun, clever and safe Spanish gelding with established trick training and a brilliant temperament

Barack - 9yo Spanish gelding 14.3hh Grey

Located near Bradford, West Yorkshire. Genuine reason for sale due to his owner being pregnant so unfortunately she has no time for him anymore.

Priced fairly (mid-high 4figs)- considering his level of training and what a fab all rounder he is because a 5* home is more important.

Barack is a fun and clever Spanish gelding with a brilliant brain and a huge personality. He is a firm favourite on the yard. He is an easy, straightforward ride and is a really lovable, goofy character who enjoys interacting with people and being part of whatever is going on around him.

He has mainly been used for trick training and hacking, where he absolutely excels, and he is a very rewarding horse to work with. He is sensible, straightforward and easy to ride with excellent manners under saddle. I’d trust anyone on his back. The rare kind of horse that will step it up for someone who knows what they’re doing but will happily plod round with a child on his back!

He goes when you ask him to go and comes straight back when you ask him to stop, making him enjoyable and safe without being lazy. He is snaffle mouthed and has a nice way of going.

Trick training (He does these both on the ground and while ridden)

• Bow
• Lie down
• Sit
• Spanish walk
• Leg extensions

Barack really enjoys interacting with people and I would love for him to continue progressing with someone interested in trick or liberty work.

Flatwork & riding

• Basic ridden in the school- walk, trot and canter
• Easy transitions up and down
• Stands to mount and will stand like a rock while you get yourself organised.
• Snaffle mouthed with great brakes, stops on a whistle.
• Very straightforward and simple to ride

Jumping

• Super scopey jump, he picks his knees and back legs up beautiful and shows great potential! He would make a great showjumper for a teenager.
* Happily rides round a course and always remains rideable between fences
• Great to pop coloured fences and fillers and I’ve jumped a couple of ditches with him out hacking which he really enjoys. I think he will be fab out hunting
• Brave and willing attitude, genuinely enjoys jumping- will take himself over jumps when free schooling

Hacking

• Hacks alone and in company
• An amazing horse to hack
• Sensible and level headed but not a plod
• Goes forward when asked and comes straight back when you ask him to stop
• Unphased by traffic, not a spooky horse. He may have a look at things on the side of the road but will go straight past drama free.

Handling & management

• Good to catch, currently turns out in a large mixed herd.
• Good for the farrier
• Good to bath
• Loads and travels well
• Barefoot with good strong feet, was previously shod but has been barefoot for 12 months and copes well.
• Up to date with dentist, farrier and physio
• Happy living in or out

Barack does have a quirk where he sometimes sticks his tongue out to the side of his mouth. He does this in his stable and whilst ridden. This has been checked by both vet and dentist and is simply his habit when he’s bored- does not affect him in any way.

Barack would suit a range of homes- he would be amazing for someone wanting to continue his trick or liberty work, but he would also make a great allrounder or family horse for someone wanting a fun but sensible horse to enjoy.

Clean legged and sound. Open to any vetting.

No tack included.
No loans or trial periods.
Viewings and vettings welcome.
Mid-high 4s.
Please text or call for more information.

Please no joyriders, I have no doubt that the first to seriously view this horse will buy- he’s a cracking little horse. Many more photos and videos available on request.

Head turning Welsh D Proven Broodmare or Ridden Potential


Ref #: 404513
  • Proven broodmare
  • Excellent bloodlines
  • Sweet willing nature
£2,800
  • Welsh Section D
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Proven broodmare
  • Excellent bloodlines
  • Sweet willing nature
8-year-old registered Welsh Section D with established bloodlines and a really good brain. This mare has produced three registered foals, the most recent with us smoothly at home last year (see pics) so would be an asset to any stud.

She has a very sweet, gentle nature and is kind by temperament, making her a great candidate for someone looking to bring her on under saddle. She is currently unbroken and has had limited careful ground work, so will require an experienced and knowledgeable home to continue her education. That being said she is very biddable and easy to work with in the stable and on the ground and will follow you anywhere once she knows you.

She would be an asset to any stud or equally ready for a ridden career.

Photos do not do this mare justice. Everyone who sees her comments on her quality.

Genuine sale and 5 star home a must.

Turnfar Titanium Blue

If you want the wow factor but also have safety in mind then Bluey is your boy.

12.2, top class blue and white registered TGCA mini gypsy cob, rising 6, Junior coloured/open hoys potential.

This happy little chap is a real pleasure to have around and is a yard favourite. He’s very easy to handle in the stable, catch, and with the farrier. He also turns out alone or in company. Bluey will pretty much load himself into my 3.5ton wagon and travels like a dream.

He is great to hack and goes alone or in company and isn’t fazed by traffic/big vehicles. We hack him over a busy bypass bridge and he will canter in front or behind on the bridleway. He’s also very mannerly in the arena and goes in a lovely shape with three lovely balanced paces and always enjoys his work. Not spooky, sharp or silly and is very safe ride. My tiny 12yr old rides him and says she could ride his canter all day. I can’t say enough good things about this boy and he’s destined to make someone/family incredibly happy.

Bluey was very successfully shown inhand as a youngster with his previous owners and has had some great results and championship wins in very good company. Ridden wise his manners have been impeccable at the shows we’ve attended.

He got over 68% in his first ever dressage test, and has had some great results in TGCA classes qualifying for Toys and Pony of the year show with some very complementary feedback from every judge.

Bluey is a real eye catcher with movement to match with his abundance of mane, tail and feather he gets compliments every where he goes.

He’s up to date with vaccinations, teeth, farrier, worm count and physio.

I’ve lots of info and loads of pics/videos of him on request. He’s a very special boy who you can’t help but love and means a lot to us so know he will make a lovely addition to any family/yard.
Genuine sad sale
Open to vet

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.

  • Wanted 13:3 - 15:1 hh Safe and sane happy hacker
  • Experienced long term loving home awaits right horse
  • Gelding preferred but non marish mare considered

Due to the loss of my wonderful Connemara in January I’m searching for my new best friend.

I primarily hack but would like the opportunity to do beach rides and holidays away with my friend and her horse.

I’m not adverse to a veteran or a horse/pony with health issues as long as fully disclosed. Something that’s been there and done it but now needs a quieter life would be ideal.

Must be good in all traffic and travel in a trailer.

I’ve owned and ridden horses all my life but I’m now in my sixties and no longer brave so no bucking, rearing, bolting or napping, no project horses and no dealers.

In return I can offer a long term experienced home on my  own land at my home with other horses, all year turnout with field shelter and stabling as required 

References available.

Realistic budget for the right horse.
