Happy Hackers: 15hh & Over

Beautiful buckskin mare, amazing temperament, safe, easy going

  • Excellent to hack alone or in company
  • Easy to do on the ground
  • Old head on young shoulders
£9,250
  • Cob
  • Buckskin
  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 15 hands
  • Excellent to hack alone or in company
  • Easy to do on the ground
  • Old head on young shoulders

Beautiful 15hh 5 year old buckskin Irish cob mare, still bum high with lots of growing left to do. Don’t be put off by her age, she has the most amazing temperament and has so much to offer!

Misty hasn’t been rushed and has been left to mature slowly, she was recently professionally broken in and has proven to be the easiest of horses. She has a very willing attitude to work and is a very fast learner.

Although still green in the school, she will try her hardest for you and will give anything a go with no questions asked. She has seen coloured poles and popped logs.
Misty has mainly been doing lots of hacking, which she loves! She will happily hack out on her own and with others, she will leave horses mid hack with no fuss too. She is excellent in traffic, has seen heavy farm machinery, cyclists, motorbikes, cars and is totally un phased. The farm runs a shoot through the winter, the noise from the guns does not bother her. She has never bucked, reared, spun or bolted, doesn’t rev up in open spaces and is the same if you take her out anywhere in the trailer.

We believe she will make an excellent all rounder, she has a lovely active walk and is nicely off your leg. Even though she is only five, she fills you with confidence and will certainly give you many hours of happy hacking.

This is a very genuine sale due to pregnancy and not having the time to give her, we would love to see her go on to make someone equally very happy. Misty has so much potential to go onto enjoy many disciplines be it, low level jumping, hunting, pleasure rides, showing, dressage etc, she will make the perfect family horse for everyone to enjoy.

Misty is very good to clip, bath, good for farrier, vet and dentist, she will stand all day to be groomed, loads and travels like a dream. Misty can be turned out with others or on her own, she can be left out in the field alone and will happily graze if you take her friend away. She will live in or out and can be left in the field for a week and still be the same horse to ride.

We have lots of videos of her being ridden which can be sent upon request.

STAR COIN (“SMURF”)

16.1hh | 12-Year-Old Grey Irish Sport Horse Gelding

By Womanizer (KWPN) out of Mullaghdrin My Retina

A very difficult sale of a much-loved horse.

Smurf is a handsome, quality Irish Sport Horse gelding with excellent breeding and a lovely temperament. He is kind, affectionate and genuinely enjoys being around people. He is a pleasure to own and has impeccable manners on the ground.

He is a dream to load and travel, very chilled in the field and does not put a foot wrong to handle. He is easy to catch, groom and manage, making him a lovely horse to have around the yard.

Smurf enjoys hacking, schools nicely on the flat and would suit someone looking for a horse to enjoy dressage, hacking and general riding. He is fit, up to date with vaccinations and ready to go out and be enjoyed.

In the interests of complete honesty, Smurf can occasionally spook when worried and therefore requires a confident and experienced rider. He is not suitable for a novice rider.

Smurf has a diagnosed navicular condition. He has responded well to treatment and is currently comfortable and in work. His full veterinary history, diagnostics and treatment records are available and will be shared openly with prospective purchasers.

This is a heartbreaking decision and finding the right home is far more important than achieving a particular price. He deserves a knowledgeable owner who will appreciate his many qualities and continue to manage him appropriately.

Priced for a quick sale to find the right home.

Smurf is priced to reflect his veterinary history and to help him find a knowledgeable new owner quickly.

What a find, such a kind easy fun alround sweet little mare. Unbelievable value!

Come On Hopkins 15 3hh Wetherbys registered by Outcast 8yro mare. She ran once over novice stakes.

I have nothing but lovely things to say about this mare, having recently arrived & not my usual type but proving herself to be a real saint of a fun mare!

Shes been in the busiest of traffic here, enjoys her jumping, been out around our fields followed by other horses. An easy point & steer type, a responsive but snaffle mouthed ride.

Shes far from the polished article but you really could have a great time improving her flatwork.

A potential eventer, alround or reliable pleasure horse, here she is at very little money!

Good clean limbs, good feet, no vices.

A nice person to have around.

Well bred , kind , capable , model material and affordable ……. Meet Lilly

16hh, 6yo, AES warmblood mare

Jumped a small bit of BS , I think has probably been a bit over faced , cracked under the pressure and said thanks but no thanks kinda thing!

She’s 6 years old , there’s no rush. This is going to be a smashing little mare for someone who’s not in a rush and going to sweeten her back up this summer

Works well on the flat , so flashy! If you can ride in the flat. If you want to amble around off the bridle , then she’s fine with that too!

THE BEST IN THE YARD TO HACK OUT goes alone or in company, through the heaviest of traffic. Really reliable ride of choice. She’d be a little unicorn for someone wanting a happy hacker !! 

Came to us on the lighter side , summer grass is doing its job!

Loves the XC !! She’d love funrides and beach days ! She’s been to pub rides with us and loves the attention from the locals!!

No lumps / bumps / sarcoids etc

Travels on trailer or lorry , perfect to load , catch, shoe etc

I’ve taken her to arena hire where she never once said no and jumped around some big fences

Her go to is to have the most pathetic rear in the school where she’s not coming more than a foot off the floor. I really do think she just needs a 1-1 home where she can be sweetened up, have a varied life and leave the pressure off while she finds her feet again

There is absolutely no malice , not at all sharp etc

Floris - Registered KWPN Gelding
2010
16'2 Chestnut

Dressage Bred in the purple
Sire - Lexicon by Volitaire
Dam - Tessa by Goodtimes

A real favourite - Florie is with us in sales livery on behalf of his owner - A long time friend and is genuinely a heartbreaking sale.

A few years ago I had the honour of riding him at a family members funeral where he did everyone proud by leading the procession through a busy high street, waiting patiently at the ceremony and stood like a rock at the graveside. The way this gentleman conducted himself that day will never leave my memory.

Aside his willingness the aforementioned day - Floris has a great CV again proving his versatility to go and achieve in any sphere.

Plenty of ribbons have been collected over the years from his performance between the white boards. Straight moving, correct and supple. Exactly what he was bred to be. A performance horse performing. Having mainly competed unaffiliated purely down to his owners wishes and no direct relation to his ability he is a blank canvas for anyone wanting to open him up a BD record with lots more frillies to be won.

Jumping - His temperament matches his trainability and with a level head his is able
To negotiate show jumping courses ans XC fences with ease. A big natural pop with lots of scope. Again a great natural technique. Having attended plenty of RC training days, lessons as well as being based for a while with a professional rider all the foundations are in place for a BS career or of course a continuation of a lower level unaffiliated should new owners wish

Has hunted well with a hillside pack and over galloping country. Both of which he really enjoyed really country was no issue for him and his careful steady mentality. Again in faster country he wasn't strong nor silly and stood patiently at the meet while his rider enjoyed the hospitality.

Hacking is a much enjoyed past time for Flo - confident alone and in company. Unfazed by heavy traffic road marking etc a happy hacking home would be right up his street.

Turns out with mares and geldings and isn't worried about coming in away from his friends or being out with shetlands to shires. A kind boy who just wants to be everyone best friend.

Stable manners are to die for - has spent many years based on a busy yard, Floris is used to children farm machinery cats and dogs. You name it he's seen it ! Loves to be brushed fussed kissed and cuddled - infact this is part of the terms and conditions of his new home - he must be very much loved.

Loads and travels like a dream. On and off the trailer his laid back attitude to life shines through.

Vaccinated, wormed and shod to date
Chiro and physio appointments have been routinely done.

Does have a small sarcoid on his sheath - this has been part of him for many years. Has never grown or expanded. And never worsened. Does not affect him in the slightest.

No health issues and no stable vices
Never sick not sorry and infact hes a hard cob type in a quality warmbloods body.

No loans or trials sorry
Nationwide delivery options available
Open to any vetting

Viewings are welcomed - getting his right for Florie and his owner is very very important for everyone involved.

If you think you might be Flos new best friend please do not hesitate to get in touch

'The Dutchman '

16hh Weatherbys Reg
ROR eligible / Classy contender
16yr gelding

A perfect example of an allround little super star - working correctly stunning eye catching sort with the temperament to match.

Well put together Dutch presents himself with charisma and charm. A massive uphill movement that's guaranteed to catch everyone eye. A loving gelding who always aims to please.

Been in a professional environment since a youngster he has wanted for nothing and the world is now truly at his hooves to continue to enjoy the big world as his new owners best friend.

Previously Dutch has been a successful racehorse with a smashing bloodline going back to some real racing stars.

Retiring from racing sound and injury free Dutch has competed at local level showjumping and was said to be a star in the competition environment. He has recently been around a little course with masses of potential to work his way up. Hes proven willing, forward and keen to learn.

Dutch is a real trier who puts a lot of effort into what's being asked of him and enjoys everything and anything that involves engaging his brain and hocks.

Very nicely schooled on the flat he will walk, trot & canter in the arena. He will drop into a natural soft outline. And makes for a pretty impressive outfit between the white boards. Picture prize winning Warmblood ... on a budget!

Whilst he's not ready to compete at badminton this season he's certainly willing to give the jumping his best shot as well as the XC fast forward brave and fun fun fun . lots of TBs go on to make top class eventers and there is no reason he can't start some low level events right now

A sweet boy in the stable. Kisses and presents himself for a good bum scratch. Will let you muck out around him although can and will act as a rather large speed bump while she tries to 'help' sometimes Dutches brain can make him a little
'Full on' but it's his get up and get on with it attitude. Always waiting for what's next

Good to catch and happy to turn out in a mixed herd. Happy to go out but equally loves to come back in. A routine lover as most with great history's of doing a job

Hacks alone and in company hes proving to have a big heart as we tackle recent road works adjoining our stables. Dutch is patient with waiting to traffic light changes and of course she inconsiderate drivers lacking patience (we all get them) As previous is is forward and happy to walk out getting the job done without being silly or strong

Loads and travels well in a side loading lorry and a trailer.

Snaffle mouthed all times with us

No known issues, ailments or vices.
No complete novices as he is a blood horse and I think he would be better suited to a more experienced home. Looking to get out about and have a summer of fun

  • Proven competition record
  • Temperament that is second to none

A rare opportunity to purchase a talented, versatile and exceptionally genuine horse with a proven competition record and a temperament that is second to none.

This handsome 16.1hh black Thoroughbred gelding has been owned by an 83-year-old lady for the past five years. During that time, he has taken her successfully through the dressage ranks, proving himself to be kind, reliable and wonderfully straightforward both at home and out competing.

He was the winner of the Retrained Racehorse Dressage Championship Final in 2023, achieving an impressive score of 72.3%. This success, together with his consistent dressage results, demonstrates both his quality and trainability.

Very sadly offered for sale only because his owner wishes to continue progressing competitively and feels that a purpose-bred warmblood may be better suited to her ambitions of competing at Silver League level.

Max is around 16hh, 4 yr old ex racehorse. He ran mostly on the flat with 1 run over hurdles. He retired sound and happy as he was just too slow on the track.

He is a kind and easy going horse. He doesn't buck, rear, spin, bolt, jigjog, or do anything nasty.

He has started his retraining and will make a great all rounder.

He has done some basic schooling on the flat and has been on a couple of fun rides proving to be well mannered and easy to handle.

He is good to hack alone and in groups, he isn't strong or silly and is good in open spaces and on grass. Always snaffle mouthed.

He is unfortunately for sale early because I don't have the time to put into him to finish producing him.

Ginger

  • Irish
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 16 hands
  • 16hh Approx. 2013 Chestnut Irish Mare
  • Talented Allrounder | Showjumper | Eventer | Dressage Prospect

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.

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder To Enjoy Hacking, Pleasure Rides, & Low Level Adventures

Ref #: 410902
  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh. Age 6 -14 yrs
  • Must Be Confident Hacking Out & Passing Farm Vehicles
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type
  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh. Age 6 -14 yrs
  • Must Be Confident Hacking Out & Passing Farm Vehicles
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type
I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

15.1 Appaloosa mare 8yo. A kind, easy mare with genuine talent. She has three flashy, quality paces and a balanced, easy, natural jump, never phased by fillers. She is well educated and straightforward to ride.

Her owner has done a fantastic job giving her excellent manners, making her a pleasure to have around the yard and to handle. She is good to shoe, load and clip, and is easy in all aspects of daily management.

On the flat she works in a natural outline, moving in a rhythmical, correct way.

She is bold over cross-country fences, despite not having done a huge amount of XC to date.

She has been hunting, where she was excellent – not strong or silly in any way.

Great to hack alone or in company. She is sensible in open spaces, does not get silly when cantering, and will happily pop ditches. Goes first, last, or sits quietly in the middle of the ride.

A genuine, straightforward horse with a lovely attitude and plenty of ability for someone to enjoy and progress.

  • Great to hack and loved jumping
  • Amazing easy temperament
Silver is a fantastic horse who has taught many the ropes and can be ridden by riders of different experience or interests.

She’s equally happy popping x poles, jumping a 1m track, steadily walking round, hacking in heavy traffic, going xc or full on hunting.

Very very sad sale by current owner due to exams etc after 2 happy years where she has instilled confidence

At mine on sales livery, where she has been ridden by a tall lad, nervous over 50yr old lady, and enthusiastic teenager.

She really is a true diamond

Lots of recent videos on request, but absolutely no time wasters please

Not been sick or sorry, everything up to date

First to try will buy, or so I thought!
Due to TOTAL TIME WASTERS PLEASE ONLY ENQUIRE IF YOU HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF VIEWING IF SHE FITS YOUR REQUIREMENTS
