Astrid

Stunning Clydesdale Cross Irish Cob
16.3hh mare
6yrs

If you’re looking for a horse with impeccable manners both on the ground and under saddle, something super safe, calm and unfazed by absolutely everything, exceptionally low maintenance and gentle enough to be handled by a child, a horse with far more “whoa” than “go”—dare I say it… a bit of a plod—then Astrid is your girl.

This 6 year old girl is wise and judicious way beyond her years, she is sensible, straightforward and safe. She is the most loveable gentle giant you could ever wish to meet.

She is currently working in my riding school where she is ridden by all levels of riders, from complete beginners on the lead rein through to advanced. She definitely has more whoa than go, so if you lose your stirrups or balance, she will quietly come back to walk without even being asked. She is incredibly forgiving and always looks after her rider.

Astrid has a fantastic attitude to learning and always tries her best. She is a lovely all-round horse, she is a kind, honest uncomplicated mare.

She responds nicely to the leg throughout all three paces and is happy to pop over poles, logs and small fences. For a more novice rider, she will happily plod around on a long rein, taking everything in her stride regardless of the terrain.

She most definitely doesn’t fizz up, spook, shy, rush, pull or behave silly. Astrid has the same chilled-out temperament wherever she goes—absolutely nothing phases her.

She would suit a nervous or novice rider, a mature person wanting to enjoy their riding, or someone who simply wants to take life in the slow lane.

She can be ridden every now and again or worked daily and remains exactly the same sensible, laid-back horse.

Astrid hacks out in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eyelid. She has seen all types of vehicles including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, motorbikes, tractors, trailers and large agricultural machinery.

She has impeccable manners across open fields and will canter or gallop quietly on grass verges beside busy roads. In company she is happy to lead, follow or ride at the back, never rushing, pulling or trying to overtake. If anything, she sometimes needs reminding to keep up.

She also hacks confidently alone through open countryside and the busiest of traffic, proving herself to be a sturdy, sure-footed and considerate mare.

She is excellent to catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, shoe, for the dentist and the vet. She is currently barefoot but was previously shod in Ireland and has impeccable manners for the farrier.

She absolutely loves attention and will happily stand all day without a headcollar while being groomed, bathed, cuddled and fussed over. She will also stand in her stable with the door open, happily eating her hay without attempting to leave unless asked. She is regularly caught, led and handled by the smallest of children and is quite happy being gently led around the yard. She stands perfectly at the mounting block until mounted, regardless of how long it takes.

She has a lovely snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets required.

She is stabled during the day and turned out at night in a mixed herd. She is equally happy living in or out full time, keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite sharing with around 25 other horses. She isn’t clingy and is perfectly happy on her own if required.

Astrid will give confidence to any rider or handler and would happily enjoy riding club activities, fun rides and beach rides. She can have weeks or even months off and be tacked up and ridden exactly the same. She is exceptionally low maintenance, maintains her weight all year round on grass, hay and haylage during winter, and has never suffered with laminitis, sweet itch or sarcoids.

During the entire time I have owned her she has never been lame, sick or sorry. My vet can verify this, and she has just passed the riding school’s annual inspections with flying colours, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

We are looking for a genuine five-star private home where someone can enjoy owning a truly safe, kind and sensible horse with so much to offer.

Only for sale, as we rotate our riding school horses every 12-24 months, to give these wonderful horses the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one private home again. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Other horses and ponies available for viewing.

15.1hh 10-year-old Welsh Section D gelding

Bryn has been with me since he was a yearling and is a much-loved member of the family, so this is exceptionally difficult.

Unfortunately, increasing work commitments force this, I am looking for the perfect long-term home for him.

He has top quality breeding and is a genuine all-rounder who has enjoyed hacking, showing, showjumping. He has always performed well in the show ring and was consistently placed in the ribbons. He is exceptionally handsome.

Bryn is a forward-thinking horse with big, expressive paces, so he would not suit a nervous or novice rider. In the right hands, he is enormous fun and enjoys having a job to do.

Out hacking, he much prefers company, hacking alone- he requires reassurance from his rider. We have a busy building merchants in the village, so he is used to large vehicles, machinery, and even the steam train that runs through the village. He will happily plod along or pick up the pace if asked.

He has recently come back from loan (family) who has recently qualified as a vet and sadly no longer has the time. During his time with her, Bryn has attended his first showjumping outings which he seemed to love. He hacked on the moors regularly and doesn’t hot up or get silly in open spaces.

He travels brilliantly in a trailer and will load perfectly. However, he is not keen on my 3.5-tonne horsebox.

In the stable, Bryn is incredibly affectionate and thrives on human attention and fuss.

He is good to clip with patience, shoe, up to date with vacs. Clicker trained which he absolutely loves.

This is a very hard decision, so please genuine enquiries only — no time wasters. A local LWVTB home may be considered so I can ensure he finds the perfect match. He is ready to find his next human to love! Loving home is utmost important. I have done everything with this horse since a yearling so I know all his history.

Maggie has done lessons, clinics and rallies including poles and grids. She has seen hounds. She is relatively low mileage and as such pretty much a blank canvas. She has the potential to make a super RC or PC all rounder / mother daughter share.

Flora 🤍 Beautiful 16.1hh Grey Irish Thoroughbred Mare | 9 Years | Irish Bred 🤍

A beautiful mare with a kind temperament and all the ingredients to make a fantastic all-round competition horse.

She retired from racing last year and has been given plenty of time to let down, strengthen and enjoy life outside of the racing industry. Since then, her education has focused on building solid foundations, allowing her to develop correctly without being rushed.

She has been exceptionally well cared for, with regular physiotherapy, chiropractic treatments, saddle fitting and routine healthcare throughout her retraining.

❤️ Temperament

This mare has a wonderful nature and is a pleasure to have around. She is kind, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle. She’s the type of horse that loves people and enjoys attention, making her a real yard favourite.

She is excellent to catch (comes to call), good to load and travel, good for the farrier, vet and dentist, and is equally happy living in or out. She can be stabled or turned out on her own without becoming stressed and is straightforward to manage in every way.

🐎 Education

Her education has been taken slowly and correctly, with plenty of groundwork before progressing under saddle. She has completed lunging, in-hand work, pole work and a variety of foundation exercises to build strength, balance and confidence.

Under saddle she has mainly hacked, covering many miles through Longleat Forest both alone and in company. She is confident in traffic, enjoys exploring and has a genuine, willing attitude. Flora has also attended busy fun rides, where she behaved impeccably amongst large groups of horses and busy surroundings. She has happily swum through water and thoroughly enjoys it, taking everything in her stride with a calm and sensible outlook. New places and busy environments don’t faze her, and she continues to prove herself to be level-headed and easy to take out.

Her schooling is coming along nicely and is being produced correctly rather than rushed. She is learning to work into a consistent outline, use herself properly and become stronger through her body. She is still green in the school, making her an exciting prospect for someone wanting to continue producing a quality Thoroughbred.

⭐ Who Would She Suit?

Flora genuinely enjoys having a job and thrives on variety. She would be ideally suited to someone wanting to continue producing her for riding club activities, dressage, showing, low-level eventing, team chasing, hunting, fun rides or as a quality all-round horse. She has all the attributes to become a smart competition horse with someone who can continue her education.

💛

Offered for sale on behalf of her owner due to a genuine change in personal circumstances. This is a difficult decision, and finding the right home is the priority.

She is a beautiful mare inside and out, with plenty of untapped potential and a lovely future ahead of her.

Only the very best homes need apply.

Belle is a lovely, sweet-natured mare who we have found to be easy to have around and in all aspects of her daily care.

Having recently come over from Ireland, where she did a small amount of hunting and riding club activities, she is ready to find her new home where she can give her new owner lots of enjoyment.

Due to her age, she is obviously still a little green; however, she has a great attitude to her work and only wants to please. She is a quick learner and really enjoys her work. A fun forward ride who is easy off the leg yet still remains sensible.

Belle has a lovely jump on her, and again this will only improve the more she does. She is very brave and has seen solid obstacles as well as show jumps and fillers.

Belle is great to hack both in open spaces and on the road in the heaviest traffic; with us, she has passed lorries and farm machinery with no issue.

A really lovely girl who we are sure will give her new owner loads of fun

Romeo – The Ultimate Confidence Giver

15hh 10-Year-Old Cob Gelding

Romeo is an exceptional 15hh, 10-year-old Cob gelding who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable and a genuine weight carrier, making him suitable for a wide range of riders—from complete beginners, nervous adults and children, RDA riders, those with additional learning needs, right through to more experienced riders looking for a calm, reliable partner.

Romeo is beautifully put together and truly is a horse who has been there, done that. Calm, considerate and always willing to please, he is the definition of safe and steady. He has far more “whoa” than “go” for less experienced riders, yet for a capable rider he has another gear when asked. His adaptability allows him to happily carry a complete novice one day and then enjoy a more forward ride with an experienced rider the next.

The Ultimate All-Rounder

Romeo has spent the last 12 months working in a professional riding school, where he has excelled with every type of rider, from complete beginners to advanced riders, both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

He has extensive experience in private and group flatwork lessons and regularly takes part in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. Romeo absolutely loves to jump and is confident over coloured and rustic fences, showing a careful, honest and bold technique. Prior to joining us, he competed successfully at low level in showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and has also enjoyed hunting.

Hacking is one of Romeo’s greatest strengths. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to some of the heaviest traffic imaginable, including double-decker buses, articulated lorries, tractors and all types of farm machinery. Nothing fazes him. He remains calm and relaxed in every environment and never becomes strong or silly. He can gallop across open fields with loose horses running alongside him before immediately coming back to walk on a long rein or standing quietly while other horses continue galloping around him. He is genuinely one of the most sensible horses you could wish to ride and is never sharp, spooky or silly.

During his time at the riding school, Romeo has been nothing short of outstanding. He is incredibly forgiving when riders lose their balance, lose a stirrup or make a mistake into a fence. He always looks after his rider and never takes advantage. His substantial build, combined with his calm temperament, sure-footedness and kind nature, gives nervous riders enormous confidence. He will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as required without moving a foot.

I can honestly say Romeo has no quirks, vices or unpleasant traits.

Although perfectly happy to amble along at a quiet pace, Romeo is responsive to the leg and offers three lovely, balanced paces. For a more experienced rider he will happily work into a soft outline while remaining relaxed and obedient. He has never bucked, reared, bolted, kicked or bitten. He is ridden in a simple snaffle at all times with no gadgets whatsoever.

Outstanding Manners

Romeo has impeccable manners both in and out of the stable. He will happily stand for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar. He is polite, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle.

He is equally happy living in or out and settles well whether stabled individually or turned out in a mixed herd, he is currently in a mixed herd and solo field in between lessons.

Romeo has an excellent health history and has never suffered from laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any significant lumps, bumps or soundness issues.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy feet but is equally happy to be shod if preferred. He is excellent to catch, clip, bath, load, travel, shoe, and is a pleasure for the farrier, vet and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance and requires no daily work. He can enjoy weeks or even months off before returning to work exactly the same horse. He maintains his condition well on a simple diet and is exceptionally easy to manage in every respect.

Romeo has also recently passed our annual Riding School Licence Inspection, the equivalent of a Stage 2 veterinary inspection.

A Horse You’ll Struggle to Replace

Romeo is a genuinely rare horse. Whether you’re looking for a confidence giver, a safe hacking companion, a family horse, an RDA-type horse, a riding club horse or simply an honest all-rounder to enjoy, he ticks every box.

He is a genuine schoolmaster who gives his rider confidence every time they sit in the saddle and will undoubtedly provide his next owner with many years of enjoyment.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular riding school stock rotation, we give our horses the opportunity to move on to loving private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-to-one attention and a more varied lifestyle. Romeo has been an exceptional member of our team and now deserves a wonderful forever home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available.

• The unicorn everyone is searching for… a chunky, good-doing Thoroughbred with a genuine brain.

Sonic 16.1hh 10year old tb

Sonic is not your typical Thoroughbred he is a chunky, good-doing type with a genuine brain, making him a rare find in today’s market. Horses that combine rideability, bravery, and versatility like this are increasingly hard to source.

While he is straightforward and genuine, he is not a novice ride. Sonic is an enthusiastic horse who loves a job, and as such would be best suited to a competent rider who will enjoy and channel his energy. In the right hands, he has all the attributes to be a fantastic competition horse.

He is an “everyone’s ride” type in terms of temperament and attitude, yet still bold enough to jump, event, and step up competitively, giving him a wide appeal for those wanting something fun but capable.

Everyone rides him here; he leads the breakers, schools beautifully, is super enthusiastic about jumping! Hacks on the buckle end. 

With proven experience across cross country, showjumping, fun rides, a season hunting and low-level eventing, alongside his ability to hack alone or in company, Sonic offers a ready-made, all-round package saving a new owner significant time, effort, and production costs.

Currently competing 90cm showjumping, rarely touches a pole and never says no; he is stepping up to 1m classes next week and is also entered for novice level dressage test where I am almost certain he should score in the 70% which is where most of his dressage scores lye currently. 

He was entered to team chase the first weekend he arrived , which reflects his scope and enthusiasm for the job, but unfortunately didn’t run due to personal circumstances no fault of his own.

His attitude is what truly sets him apart:

* Genuine and willing

* Loves his job

* Bold and brave to a fence

* Consistent in different environments

These types of horses are the crème de la creme they are safe and fun, but with enough blood and enthusiasm to be competitive are always in high demand. Sonic will be a chilled laid back happy hacker or will step up and become that high blood competition horse as soon as you ask! 

No injuries or vices

16.3hh Thoroughbred Gelding – Fun, Forward, Athletic Allrounder / XC/ Team Chasing/ Hunt Scurry Prospect - ROR Eligible

Teo is a smart, athletic Thoroughbred gelding with a successful background in both flat racing and steeple chasing before retiring at 7 years old.

After enjoying a few years off, he has been slowly and correctly brought back into work over the last 2 years with a focus on building strength, flatwork and confidence in a new career. He is now ready for someone wanting a fun, capable horse to continue producing.

Teo schools nicely on the flat with a lovely walk and trot and is improving in his canter work. He enjoys his jumping and has attended arena hires, XC fun rides and been out with the hounds. He is bold, brave and naturally quick, making him an exciting prospect for XC, hunting, team chasing or hunt scurries.

He hacks well both alone and in company, is good in traffic and loves getting out and about. In open spaces he is forward-going but enjoyable for a confident rider.

Teo thrives in consistent work and enjoys having a job to do. He is not suitable for novices or nervous riders as he is a sensitive, forward Thoroughbred who benefits from a knowledgeable and experienced home.

Very sad sale due only to lack of time following return to full-time work and a young family. He deserves a home where he can continue progressing and enjoying an active life.

‘Ammanvalley Aranck’ (Ava)

16hh 7yo stunning Appaloosa mare very sadly for sale due to owners circumstances. She has been in the same home since a foal so this is a heartbreaking decision, please no time wasters or joy riders.

Ava is a beautiful American bred Appaloosa, out of Rowberton Solitaire (Appy x TB) and by the beautiful stallion Ammanvalley Dark Star.

She was backed at 5 to let her mature properly and in the last 2 years she has been showing, showjumping, cross country schooling, hacking and did a days hunting at the end of last season, stood at the meet and jumped ditches and rails despite never seeing hounds beforehand.

Currently kept in a same sex herd and very easy to do and keep, such a people person. Lives out in the summer, in at night in the winter, she really hates being out in the rain and stands at the gate waiting to be rescued!

She is not a novice ride, she is sensitive and wants a quiet rider but once you get the hang of her she goes beautifully and really tries for you. Always snaffle mouthed.

Her jump is phenomenal, we have competed her up 80cm but there is so much more jump in there. She would be extremely exciting and unique to see on the showjumping circuit.

She would be very successful to show as she is so well marked and so eye catching across a ring. She has been to 2 showing shows so far and the judges loved her.

She is registered with the APHC UK.

In my dream world, someone would buy her and keep her with me but I know that isn’t realistic 😢 she has been a pleasure to back, ride and compete for her owner for the last 2 years and I really think a lot of her.

She is up to date with vaccs and teeth, worm counted and wormed accordingly regularly.

Good to shoe, catch, load, we have clipped her and as long as you reassure her she is fine.

Comes with all tack included-

- 17.5 Kent & Masters S-Series Compact GP MGC Black Adjustable
