Attractive 16.2hh Irish Sports Horse mare, 12 years old. A lovely genuine girl with a kind temperament who enjoys building a partnership with her rider.
Would suit a confident teenager or adult looking for a horse to bring on and develop. Not a novice ride as she can be a little bossy at times, but nothing nasty – just needs a consistent rider who won’t let her take advantage.
Good to catch, load and for the farrier. Good in traffic and works nicely in the school.
She has been out of work due to lack of time (young family forces very sad sale), so will need bringing back into fitness. Sold from the field and priced to reflect this.
Best suited to a one-to-one home where she can bond with her rider. She has plenty to give and will make a rewarding partner in the right hands.
No health issues or vices.
5 star home is a must.
Based North Yorkshire

  • A lovely horse with a great attitude
  • He has mainly been hacked and farm rides

A lovely horse with a great attitude, world class breeding and plenty of potential for the future.

He is a pleasure to ride, works in a snaffle and has a willing nature and showing all the right signs to develop into a very useful horse.

A late starter, he has mainly been hacked and farm rides to increase his strength and stamina but has recently started his jumping education and is careful, athletic and trainable. With further production, he has the ability to make a quality show jumper. Equally, he would make a top-class riding club prospect for someone wanting a sensible young horse to enjoy and bring on.

Good to load, travel, farrier and in all aspects of handling. Easy to manage and a genuinely nice horse to have around.

Opportunity to purchase before further production and competition experience increase both his profile and value.

Superb 16.2hh 5yo allrounder / hunter / dressage gelding

Max is a beautiful, much sought after, stamp of horse. He combines bone and presence but is light on his feet and not a cob like ride!

He is a super quality 5yr old, 16.2hh ID X ISH (white book no breeding recorded) gelding. He was purchased from Ireland last Novembe. Max had done some hunting and lots of hacking in Ireland. He was then professionally produced on further in England. He has been hunting and proved sensible, careful and bold. He has attended numerous arena hires, clear round shows, and dressage shows (at intro level due to having a rather larger than life canter!) Max has always proved to have an exceptional attitude towards his education and has taken everything in his stride.

Max is working sweetly on the flat, he has a nice mouth and wants to go to the contact and work correctly. His walk and trot are super, his canter is slightly green as he is a big boy and needs to strengthen up to learn and be capable of collection! He is willing in his brain, has a lovely trainable attitude. He has been to intro dressage tests, and was fabulous in the warm up arena and in the boards.

Max is good to hack alone or in company. He is bombproof in heavy traffic/motorbikes and quads. He is a young horse, and despite how rock solid he is in traffic he still is only the age he is, so if a pheasant flies up underneath him or something jumps out he may have a bit of a spook/jump, but this is to be expected with his age.

Max is very sweet to jump, he is capable of being very good over a fence with a good technique in front, and behind. As stated previously his canter is a little green so he really would benefit from strengthening work to improve the canter and therefore jumping a course fluently in the canter. He is good over fillers, he will trot and pop or canter to a fence.

Max is good to clip, shoe, load on a trailer or 3.5 tonne lorry. He is good to travel, bath, catch. Good to pull his mane etc. he is a lovely horse to have around. He turns out alone/ in a heard / with mares or geldings.

He has no health issues, he has a clean vet cert, and set of X-rays of front feet (due to clients previous experiences with own other horse). Max is for sale through no fault of his own, due to owners change in personal circumstances. In the last couple of months he has predominantly been doing lots of hacking and fun rides and some arena hires.

Not suitable for a total novice as is a young horse.

Fitted tack available at negotiation.

  • From proven lines (sire is Vegas), with her brother competing to 4* level.

This super little horse is every amateur’s dream! Fun, genuine and straightforward, with a super willing attitude, excellent paces and a fantastic jump. She’ll happily take a variety of riders and always wants to please – the sort that’s becoming increasingly hard to find.

Nancy is a 15.2hh TB x Warmblood mare. Completely un-mareish, easy in every way and happy living in or out, alone or in company (with mares or geldings!).

She comes from proven lines (sire is Vegas), with her brother competing to 4* level.

Ridden by a petite 5’5 lady in a snaffle at all times.

She loves her jumping and is brave and genuine to a fence, she’ll jump any filler, has plenty of scope and is very forgiving if her rider gets it wrong. She’s been to a handful of shows and clear rounds where she’s taken everything in her stride. She’s currently popping 1.15/1.20 at home.

She’s been cross country schooling around BE90/100 including corners, hedges, skinnies and straight in and out of water. She’s forward going but not strong (full control in a snaffle!). She’d make a great eventer!

She’s also been autumn hunting once where she behaved impeccably — stood quietly at the meet, jumped ditches, hedges and rails and wasn’t phased by anything going on around her.

Nancy is great to hack, both alone and in company, and will happily lead or be led. She’s fantastic in traffic and not phased by tractors, trailers, combines, birds flying out of hedges or dogs running around her legs. My boyfriend, who had never ridden before, has hacked her too!

She’s easy to do in all ways, good to load, travel, will stand on the van alone/when another is taken away, shoe and catch (comes to her name). Doesn’t need riding every day is happy to be picked up and put down when it suits.

She’s low mileage for her age purely due to my work commitments in London and lack of time, so hasn’t been overdone and is ready for someone to continue producing her. Unfortunately, she’s now being wasted with me.

Nancy has kissing spine surgery in 2023 and was carefully rehabilitated. She has returned to full work and all videos are recent and post-surgery.

This is a very honest advert — she is exactly as described. Only for sale as I’m having to give up horses entirely because of work.

A genuinely lovely mare with all the attributes to excel as at BE, BS, BD, riding club, grassroots or a quality all-rounder. The right home is far more important than a quick sale. No dealers please.

She is priced sensibly for her current mileage, experience and genuinely perfect nature, and this will increase as she gets out to more shows over the summer.

15yo Cob Gelding

Has done riding club and pony club activities. Has hunted and whipped in with Devonshire hunt.

Has a great jump over cross country fences and show jumps . Will ride in an outline .

Done plenty of hacking both alone and in company. Lots of videos available .

Too much horse for my very novice husband who now commutes to full time work in the city. We also have a new baby expected later this year hence quick sale needed, been out of work for the past few months but lots of videos available. Never ever nasty but can be slightly nervous until he establishes trust.

Best offer around £3000 buys. I paid over 8k for him under a year ago, so please no time wasters. Desperate to find this chap a suitable loving home

He would benefit from routine and work with experienced owner which we unfortunately can’t provide at the moment.

15hh cob x American paint horse gelding
4 years old

Finn has been professionally started and is currently being ridden away and then I will be producing him and getting him out competing, however if his perfect partner found us once he’s ridden away and before I have fully produced him I would consider selling him and price would reflect the stage that he was at at the time.

I did all the groundwork with him at end of summer/autumn last year as a 3 year old and sat on him a few times and then turned him away to mature over the winter.
I restarted him spring this year and he is now riding away currently in walk and trot.

Finn has very much enjoyed starting his education, he is a pleasure to work with. He is a very exciting young horse with so much potential to be a fantastic all rounder.

He happily lives in or out, he comes to call and loves a fuss and would stand all day to be groomed and bathed.
He is good to do in all ways and is very well mannered to handle.
He is fully vaccinated, has a passport and microchip, up to date with teeth, physio and farrier (he currently is barefoot with good strong feet)

I will be looking for an experienced home to continue his education and help him grow into the fabulous riding horse that I know he is going to be, so no novices please. I am in no rush at all and I will gladly take him right through to being fully produced and out competing and seeing the world. But as I’ve said above I would be open to letting him go before this point if his perfect partner found us.

I will be advertising him at £14,950 once fully produced.

If you feel like he might be what you are searching for, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss whether he could be a potential match for you and to register interest to be on a wait list for him and I can keep you updated with his progress.

Please note that I am the rider in the photos and I am 5ft9.
No novices, no dealers, no riding schools, no loans, no payment plans.
Experienced forever homes only please, homes will be vetted, he is a very special young man who deserves the very best.

Messages only please, my phone signal is terrible so call are very difficult to hear!

Zeus

The ultimate allrounder who can truly turn his hoof to anything. Zeus is a classy, genuine horse with a wealth of experience and a lovely temperament to match. He offers three exceptionally comfortable paces, a beautifully balanced way of going, and the most wonderful rocking horse canter that makes him a pleasure to ride. Adores his flat work and rides like a show horse, he’s the type you could sit on for hours. The definition of an armchair ride.

He has done it all, dressage, showjumping, Xc, hunting, forest rides, sponsored rides, fun rides, and plenty of hacking. He absolutely loves water and throughly enjoying a swim in the river.

To a fence, Zeus is a true point and steer type, incredibly genuine, committed, and happy to go from any stride. He gives his rider enormous confidence, always wanting to help rather than question.

In the hunting field, Zeus is an absolute machine. He adores working with the hounds, stands beautifully at the meet, and is the ultimate ditch jumper. He is equally happy to thrust into action on a big county day or to sit back and enjoy a quieter, smaller day. He’ll happily sit anywhere in the field and behaves impeccably throughout.

Although Zeus is straightforward, kind, and easy to ride, he would be wasted in a novice home simply because he has so much to offer. He is a responsive ride and therefore wouldn’t suit an unbalanced novice who kicks rather than squeezes.

He hacks happily alone or in company and is a real gentleman in every way. Outside of the arena, he has always been ridden in a rubber pelham, which he enjoys and goes beautifully in, staying light and responsive in the hand across all disciplines. He will, of course, go in a snaffle, but is simply a nicer ride in his preferred setup.

On the ground, Zeus is every bit as kind as he is ridden, he loves people, children, and other animals, and is a true gentleman to handle. (We call him the cuddle monster!) A genuine, honest horse who takes care of his rider and will offer someone a lifetime of fun, confidence, and enjoyment.

Zeus has had sarcoids removed in the past. They have not affected his performance, comfort, or ability to enjoy a varied and active life. This is an honest disclosure for knowledgeable buyers, but certainly does not take away from what an exceptional all-round horse he is. A minor consideration in what is otherwise a golden opportunity to have a horse like Zeus in your life.

Striking Irish Black Sports Horse 16hh

  • Great hack, alone or in company, done X country and hunted.
  • Professionally schooled and working well on the flat and over coloured poles.
This mare was imported, unbroken, from Ireland as a 5 year old. She's beautifully bred with half ID x TB blood. She was broken in shortly afterwards has been brought on slowly. She has now just turned 7 years. She has been hacked and lightly hunted and schools nicely on the flat and over jumps. She has done a couple of fun rides and loads well on a 3.5T lorry. She has the potential to excel in any sphere and needs a new rider to take her forward and continue her education.

She's fantastic as a hack, stands politely at the mounting block, great in traffic, regularly crosses 'A' roads. She goes out happily on her own or with company. She's great in the stable and on the floor. She lives in or out and she's excellent to catch, coming to call.

She has recently been at schooling livery and is starting to work nicely on the flat. Her schooling is continuing to progress and she's also been introduced to coloured poles and is proving athletic in this area. She has the potential to be a versatile all-rounder or competition horse. She would make a brilliant ODE for someone to progress with.

She's a horse that likes a job to do and thrives on being ridden. Unfortunately, I no longer want to compete and I don't have the facilities to bring her on so she's being totally wasted. At Schooling livery she worked politely in the school and is jumping well. She now needs a new home where she can move forward and enjoy being produced. Masses of potential and a very classy mare.

She is in excellent health. She has no issues or sarcoids and great feet. She's only been lightly ridden and passed a 5 Stage vetting 18 months ago when I took her on. This is available and open to any further vetting. She is priced to sell. Good home is essential. No loans. Please WhatsApp for further info.

A very handsome gelding aged 13, standing at 15H.

Has mostly been hacked around farm and countryside, alone and in company. Can ride and lead, and has been taken to arenas, pony camp and has had a go at cross country jumps and show jumping (not competitively). Loves his water play!

Relatively inexperienced in wider activities due to late backing, so needs a quiet knowledgeable home with lots of love and patience due to an anxious nature and requires a calm, confident rider, not a novice or beginner. Currently ridden by a 15 year old.

Good to handle and currently lives with a young mare. Good to groom, clip, fuss and cuddle but can be sensitive around his ears.

Would enjoy a quiet hacking life but open to new experiences, looking for a fun time. Comes with fully fitted tack.

16.3hh chestnut Belgian Warmblood, 12 years old gelding with a big engine and impressive movement, who would make a fantastic allrounder for the right person. Very reluctant sale but unfortunately too much horse for his current owner and totally wasted.

He is by the licensed Belgian Warmblood stallion Fidji Du Fleury out of Niqua De Piliere, with Le Tot de Semilly bloodlines.

He is an absolute gentleman and a joy to be around. He is affectionate, people loving and will follow you everywhere. He is good to bath, groom, clip, shoe, worm, lunge and handle in every way. Good with all animals, traffic, tractors, cars, children, mares and geldings.

Passed 5 stage vetting end of January 2025. Hunted with the Surrey Union and done XC with previous owner as well as jumping to 1m on a ticket. Schools beautifully and loves his work. Hacks alone and in company, in front or behind. Loads and travels impeccably and not phased by new places.

Important to note that although he is all of the above he is not suitable for a novice. He is very forward going in the school with a big engine and he needs a balanced confident rider. In the right hands he has enormous potential but he has been known to become anxious with more nervous riders and can be strong. This can be discussed in more detail with anyone interested. For someone confident he is completely push button in all paces including to a jump. Would suit a male rider or strong female.

Reluctantly for sale as current owner is simply over horsed and he deserves to reach his potential and have fun with the right person.

Up to date with vaccinations, dentist, farrier and physio. Homes will be vetted.

Happy Hacker, Weight Carrier, Ride and Drive, Low Maintenance

Fern is an ultimate confidence giver, exceptional 16.2hh chunky mare with a leg in each corner, this rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. She is kind, bold, dependable weight carrier, ideal for a wide range of riders from competent noice to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm sensible mount with an engine.

Fern is beautifully put together and has been there and done it in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing mare, she is a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability and responsiveness. She has a 5th gear to die for when asked, she will love jumping both coloured and rustic fences, she is bold, athletic and careful she would compete in showjumping, cross country, working hunter, hunting, the great thing about Fern is that she has the ability to excel in any discipline while remaining calm and unfazed, she is being completely wasted in a riding school as she has so much potential.

she has been driven prior to us getting her both Single, Pair: harnessed side-by-side to a carriage and team in agricultural, draught, two heavy horses working together.

Fern is currently working 4 days a week in a professional riding school environment, she has excelled with every level of rider from competent novices to advanced, group and private lessons,both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

She would be ideal for hunting. She will stand and wait calmly within large crowds and open spaces and remains completely unfazed by loud noises or horses running around her. She does not fizz up, spook or spin.

Fern loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. She will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. She is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. She remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible.

Fern has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she’s happy living in or out. In the field, she keeps herself to herself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Fern has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness. She is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. She is excellent to catch, great to load and travel, good with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

She is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. She can have weeks off and return to ridden work without any fuss. She maintains her condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

She passes our annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Fern is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you are a novice rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Fern fits the bill perfectly. She is a genuine schoolmistress who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Fern is ready to bring joy to her next rider and deserves the very best home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

GOLDIE

Beautiful cob mare

Goldie is an outstanding allrounder mare who would turn a hoof to anything. Heaps of working hunter/showing potential. Great movement on the flat, and a bold scopey jump.

Very easy ride, snaffle mouthed at all times. Great in open spaces. Lovely and easy to ride round a course and great out XC.

Goldie has hunted, beach rides, hunter trails, dressage shows.

Great to hack out alone or in company, not phased by any traffic. Happy to go first or last.

Incredible to handle, clip, shoe, load, bath ect. Far from marish.

She is a true family horse, suited to anyone and everyone. Very easy to do in all ways, she just always wants to please.

A truly lovely mare inside and out who certainly has a bright future ahead.

5* home required for this special horse, the certainly don’t come around often like her!

Ginger is a lovely quality Irish mare with a fantastic attitude and a wealth of experience. She is a forward-thinking, enjoyable ride who would suit a confident rider looking for a talented horse to enjoy across a variety of disciplines.

On the flat, Ginger works beautifully with three fluent paces and seamless transitions. She is a naturally forward ride and would certainly produce some lovely dressage tests in the right hands. She is not suitable for a novice rider, but for someone who enjoys a horse that goes willingly off the leg, she is great fun to ride.

Ginger is a brave, straightforward and careful showjumper. She has previously jumped up to 1.10m with her former owner and has all the attributes to continue progressing. She is honest to a fence and gives her rider plenty of confidence.

Her previous owner described her as the ultimate all-rounder, having turned her hoof to just about everything, including hunting, showjumping and general riding club activities. Unfortunately, she has proved a little too forward-going for a nervous rider, so we are now looking for a knowledgeable home where she can thrive with someone who enjoys a horse with a bit of engine. She is not sharp, silly or whizzy, she simply likes to get on with the job and can cover the ground well.

Ginger does make a respiratory noise when working. She has been fully scoped by our vet, with no clinical abnormalities found, and it is believed the noise is due to a slightly asymmetrical nostril. This does not affect her performance in any way and is reflected in her price. Veterinary report available to view.

A genuine, talented mare with plenty still to offer and the potential to excel in a variety of homes.

Absolute Gentleman Irish Draught Gelding


Ref #: 411535
  • Versatile type that will do any job
  • Type hard to find
  • Old fashioned ID breeding
£12,500 ONO
  • Irish Draught
  • Grey
  • Gelding
  • 13 years
  • 16.3 hands
  • Versatile type that will do any job
  • Type hard to find
  • Old fashioned ID breeding

The kindest horse you could wish to meet and an absolute gentleman to deal with in every way.

Hector is a beautiful Irish Draught Gelding with very old fashioned breeding, he’s by Moutain Triumph x Crossdown Dancer x Sea Crest (to name a few)

Hector is very reluctantly and very sadly now offered only due to ill health, this has not been an easy decision and ideally his new owner will stay in touch with the odd picture and update.

Previous to this home Hector hunted, he is bold and brave and will jump anything pointed at whilst been mannerly, he has always been with lady riders so is not strong or rude.

In the current home he has been doing bits of everything from show jumping, dressage, hacking and more recently has done a small amount of riding school work.

He is a real ‘husband horse’ who would teach someone how to ride without been ‘dead to the leg’ but safe and sensible.

He loves hacking, he’s fab on open fields or busy roads and will go alone or in company.

Hector schools beautifully, he requires leg without been numb or sharp. He will take such a variety of riders he’s one of those horses that’s just hard to find.

He loves jumping and proves careful over poles as well as solid fences.

Hector will enjoy any type of home from riding club activities, hunting, dressage, low level eventing or hacking: he’s such a happy horse who will turn his hoof to anything.

Absolutely no vices, very easy to have on the yard. Happy to turn out with other horses or alone, good in and out of the stable, good for the farrier, to load and travel, dentist etc

Unfortunately does have some superficial scars on his hind legs from his hunting days that do not effect him.

Up to date with absolutely everything, this horse has been kept like a king and we would love that lifestyle to continue.
