16.2 16 year old mare looking for a new postcode where she can be enjoyed and receive the undivided attention she deserves.

Blackie has been a family friend producing one foal for us and has enjoyed an easy life inbetween.

She has attended low level dressage competitions and XC schooling taking it all In her stride. She pops a fence or two confidently at home for fun.

She is a pleasure to have around, with a lovely temperament both in and out of the stable. She hacks confidently alone and doesn’t mind company and is sensible in open spaces/ light traffic. She is happy to be pampered and fussed over all day.

Blackie is also good to catch, clip, shoe, worm, vac and box.

Blackie would suit someone looking for a safe, enjoyable all-rounder to hack, have fun with, and cherish. She is not a plod, however, reliable and forgiving.
She is not being sold through any fault of her own; we simply feel she deserves more time and attention than we can currently give her with youngsters coming through.

A truly genuine mare who has plenty to offer her next home. Finding the right match for this special girl is our priority.

Age and stage reflected in price.

She was bred and reared by us in North Yorkshire so we know her full history.

Please get in touch for more information,

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.

No loans!! How has she not sold!!! Ridden by an 8 year old girl yesterday! She did her first ever workers course two weeks ago and was 3rd out of 11! Show jumping each weekend We are unfortunately putting our loving Irish sports horse mare up for sale , she is perfect in every way! I literally CANNOT fault this mare and I wish my 13 year old daughter would love show jumping but she wants to concentrate on flat work but this mare wants to jump she absolutely loves the jumping jumped bs 1 metre , she’s won money on the circuit and is a c class and I feel she is wasted with us

She hacks out , goes through rivers , over motorway bridges , great to catch , bath, shoe (fronts only ) great With children not marish in any way , lives out in a herd

She is not for a novice in the jumping as she is very quick and fast in the school but will happily plod along on a hack or go jumping logs in the woods so would also be a great horse to go on hunts , she has done fun rides and cross country hacks out alone or in company

Has had saddle fitted its brand new 6 months ago , she has been treated like a queen , up to date with everything and this is a very very sad sale, if anyone wants to see her jumping we can hire the yard near us or happy to take her to a show

Would also make a fantastic brood mare with her breeding

No time wasters and video collectors! This mare has passed a 5 stage vetting but buyers circumstances changed

Monty is looking for a new best friend/forever home .

Someone who enjoys hacking , a bit of schooling and the odd riding club level dressage .

Monty is a well bred ex event horse , he is a very well schooled /educated relaxed chappie but due to some medical issues that will be FULLY disclosed he would suit someone experienced and balanced wanting to have a quieter life, due to those medical issues Monty would not suit a home wanting him to jump or wanting him to be out every weekend competing.

Monty will produce a super test and thoroughly enjoys going out training and competing, Monty also enjoys hacking and is forward thinking and confident out on his own and in company.

Monty would benefit from a smaller lighter rider and to be preferably kept on flatter fields as ours are very hilly along with our hacking so there is no let up, we feel this will benefit his long term well being .

Monty loves being out in the field , he wouldn’t be a horse to keep in all through the winter but it also happy to come in ie during the night or in during the day what ever your routine maybe .

Monty has no vices at all and is exceptionally easy to have around . Homes absolutely will be vetted as we really don’t want this lovely boy passed around.

This is a heartbreaking decision for Monty’s owner so your suitability for him is priority.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely young pony with a very bright future ahead of him. Alistair is a quality young Connemara with a good head, correct conformation and plenty of presence.

Well handled and ready to break and produce, he would make a fantastic summer project for someone looking to produce a genuine young pony with all the ingredients to become a top competition type.

His pedigree combines some of the most sought-after traditional and performance Connemara bloodlines, including I Love You Melody, Windy Cove Ranger and Abbeyleix Owen. These proven lines are renowned for producing athletic, talented ponies with excellent temperaments and the ability to excel across a range of disciplines.

Alistair has all the attributes to develop into a serious competition pony, with the scope, movement and breeding to make a smart eventer, showjumper, working hunter or quality all-round competition partner.

Snaffle mouthed, not a dead to the leg plod, likes to go forward & March on, enjoys what he does & keen , not a spooky type, a good doer, very low maintenance.
No known health issues.
Only reason for sale is due to working hours & little time to devote to him.

Very loving lad who deserves a job & some attention.

Must only go to a home that will appreciate him as much as I have. Tack available to purchase extra.

Loads of videos , please message or call

* probably wouldn’t suit a complete novice or nervous rider due to him being more on the forward/ turbo side.

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.

Gus is a genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to life. He is the sort that can happily be ridden a couple of times a week as a safe and enjoyable hacker, yet equally has the talent and willingness to thrive in a more competitive home. Always in a snaffle.

He hacks confidently alone or in company and is absolutely bombproof in traffic. Gus is good with dogs, children and all the everyday things that make him such an easy horse to have around.

He has attended eventing training shows, showjumping competitions, arena hires and has hunted with both the Tynedale and Duke of Buccleuch, proving himself to be bold, honest and reliable over hedges and country. Equally, he is sensible enough to happily sit at the back of the field and quietly stroll home when asked. Gus has competed in the Silver Spur and looked after me over some huge hedges.

Everything Gus has done has been managed by myself alone, with no help. He loads like a dream and is a straightforward, genuine horse to take out and enjoy.

He would be ideal for someone looking for a safe, confidence-giving horse to enjoy hacking and popping the occasional jump, but he also shows real promise for someone wanting to further his education in eventing or other competitive disciplines. His willing nature and desire to please make him a pleasure to ride and produce. He has taken care of me time and time again and given me the confidence to jump hedges bigger than I ever thought I would.

Gus is offered for sale through absolutely no fault of his own, and this is a genuinely heartbreaking decision. He will only be sold to the right home where he can continue to be loved and enjoyed.

A truly special horse who is ready to make his next owner very happy.

17.2hh 18yo warmblood x gelding. Has previously hunted including whipping in and in his youth been a masters horse. Also competed in dressage, showjumping, eventing, and pony club activities.

He is a big impressive looking horse who gets compliments everywhere he goes! He loves attention and will stand for hours for a pamper and a cuddle!

He is ridden by the whole family and is a horse that does not need riding everyday and will be the same after a week off.

He has three lovely paces on the flat.

He is now looking for a quieter life to enjoy hacking, training shows, hunter trials, a pamper, just a non competitive life!

He is fit and able to compete but i would rather him now go to someone that is going to enjoy his golden years.

He is good to shoe, load (will stand on the lorry for hours), is good on the ground, but needs some time and patience to clip without sedation.

He is brilliant in traffic and hacks alone or in company.

Please do not let his age put you off, he’s a spring chicken at heart!!

He is a big quality horse so please no novices as we want a 5* home for him.

Diesel truly is a handsome black beauty with a big heart. His mum is a Fell and his dad is a Dales x Clydesdale. I’ve owned him since he was weaned off his mum at 5 months old and the last 13.5 years have been the best. He has been the easiest boy in all ways. This is a very sad sale due solely to me planning to emigrate and it would not be a suitable move for my beautiful boy.

Diesel is an enthusiastic, genuine horse who knows his job and always wants to please. He looks after his riders perfectly and even if you’re on the ground he will make sure your safe.

He would suit a teen or young adult looking for a horse to have hours of fun with — someone who enjoys a intelligent horse with a super chilled temperament.

Showjumping & Competition:

Showjumping has been done many years ago
but hasn’t done much in recent years, so is a little rusty.
Has been to local shows in hand and ridden through this time and always receives amazing comments from the judges and in the ribbons.
He has also competed in dressage where he again always gets a ribbon in the top 3.

He has scope, technique, and huge enthusiasm for all disciplines. He has been on camps, been out to clinics and also been on horsey holidays where he rides out safely onto the moors with sheep and tractors etc.

Temperament & Suitability:

Diesel is a horse who forms strong bonds with his people and will love you deeply. He’s been a favourite among all people that have had the pleasure of riding him or spending time with him, winning them over with his playful, affectionate nature. He just loves everyone.

Hacking & Everyday Behaviour:

- Hacks alone or in company, is used many a time to support green or spooky horses because he is so chilled and gives off a relaxing vibe.
- Good to shoe, clip, catch (will come to call), load (trailer and box) and good for the dentist and physio.
- No vices at all and never sick or sorry.
- Good manners on the ground and under saddle has never put a hoof wrong.

Diesel is a talented, enthusiastic loving horse who will love you endlessly which is why I can’t be selfish and need to think of the best thing for him. This will be a wonderful opportunity for someone wanting a fun, a capable horse with the talent to progress and enjoy each discipline.

If you’re looking for a genuine, loveable character who would be a perfect mother daughter share or just a teen wanting to enjoy trips out and a safe fun ride, Diesel would be the perfect boy.
