🌟Apple is something very special, if you want to stand out from the crowd, this is your cob! 🌟

She will be a top contender next season for maxi cob classes. Plenty of substance and bone with superior quality.

Standing a full up 16.1hh , this 5yr old mare has power and potential in abundance.

Schooling beautifully on the flat, she is proving very smart and willing. She floats across the arena and snaffle mouthed.

Easy and straightforward in every way, she is anybody’s ride from novice to showman/woman.

She has been lightly hunted with South Westmeaths, schooled xcountry, good arena work and will turn her hoof to everything with ease.

We have hunted her here and she was an absolute pleasure. Snaffle mouthed and patient.Hedges, trees, water no problem at all.

Hacks alone and in company.

Easy to wash, shoe, load, groom.

Lived out 24/7, but also happy to live in.

loves attention and great with others.

Not one to be missed.

Recent 5 stage, no medical history.

This mare has top event blood on both sides! Will be an asset to any breeding program… or future event horse

  • Goose is very brave and bold ride, loves to jump

  • Her dam, Rubys Rosshaven flight is also dam to ‘Class Affair’

Goose is a lovely stamp of a competition horse, she is kind affectionate and really thrives on a one to one situation

Goose’s flatwork is coming along, with 3 nice paces, she can be a little unsettled in the bridle occasionally

When jumping Goose is rhythmical and gives her rider confidence, she enjoys jumping, but still ridden in a snaffle and never rushes

Sadly goose has a small blemish to her left fetlock, this doesn’t cause issue and I am confident she would pass a vetting

When goose meets new people or is in a new environment she takes a while to trust, never nasty or difficult, just doesn’t like new loud people

For this reason I tack up slowly and use a sheepskin girth and saddlepad

I would describe her as cold backed, however just hunches doesn’t buck

Once goose is happy and trusts you she is normal to tack up etc, for this reason she is not for a novice or loud abrupt handler

She really would suit a kind experienced horse person who understands she has ability but takes time to trust

For this reason I am selling goose without trial, she needs to find a home with ability themselves or as a broodmare

Goose hacks alone or in company, snaffle mouthed, in open fields or through the village

Goose is lovely to handle, good with farrier and I also take a carrot to catch her

Goose is good to load and travel in a 7.5to. Lorry

She is currently in light work, ready to begin her winter training to give someone a lot of fun next season

Please do call if you are serious about a quality horse for lemonade money

  • Talented PRE dressage horse trained in Spanish Walk and piaffe
  • Exceptionally calm, safe and straightforward temperament
  • Excellent in traffic, hacking and around other horses

Zelote Pagan is a striking 16hh, 9-year-old chestnut PRE gelding, imported from Spain and registered in the Spanish PRE Stud Book.

He is a talented, well-schooled dressage horse with three lovely paces. He works comfortably in walk, trot, canter and gallop and is trained in a range of dressage movements, including Spanish Walk and piaffe.

Zelote is responsive to light aids and will move forward and stop on command without needing force through the reins. He is comfortable, confidence-giving and genuinely enjoyable to ride.

His temperament is outstanding. He is calm, affectionate, sensible and extremely well behaved, with no known bad habits. He stands quietly for grooming, the vet and farrier and is loved by everyone who handles him.

He is excellent in traffic, good around other horses and animals, and thoroughly enjoys hacking. He could suit a capable novice, family, riding school or experienced rider wishing to develop his dressage ability further.

Zelote has always been kept on full livery at a professionally managed farm with approximately 52 horses. He has received the very best care, with no expense spared.

His vaccinations are fully up to date, he is registered with Pool House Vets, has been tested for strangles and previously passed a full five-stage vetting with no issues. Buyers are welcome to arrange their own veterinary examination.

This is a genuine and very difficult sale because I no longer have enough time to ride him or continue my dressage lessons. A knowledgeable, loving and permanent home is extremely important.

Plenty of ridden videos are available for serious enquiries.

  • 7 years
  • 16.1hh / 166cm
  • A genuinely loving, kind and honest horse
  • Good to do in every way and has no vices

It is with a very heavy heart that I am looking for a very special forever home for Megan.

Megan is a genuinely loving, kind and honest horse who has brought me so much happiness. She is a horse that deserves the very best home, and finding the right person for her is far more important to me than price.

Megan absolutely loves her job and would make a lovely all rounder

I bought Megan when she was five with the intention of producing her for showjumping. Unfortunately, around a year after having her, she was diagnosed with kissing spine and suspensory problems\. We made the decision to operate on her kissing spine, which was fully successful, and she has also received treatment for her suspensories. She has had the very best care, rehabilitation and time throughout her recovery.

I am very happy to say that Megan is now completely sound, pain\-free and enjoying a happy life. She can still be ridden, hacked and jumped on good surfaces, and she absolutely deserves the opportunity to have a loving person of her own.

Megan is good to do in every way and has no vices. She is kind, genuine and a lovely horse to have around. She has been incredibly loved and cared for, so this is an exceptionally difficult decision.

Sadly, I can no longer ride, which means keeping Megan is no longer an option. This is the only reason she is looking for a new home.

I am looking for someone who will love Megan as much as I do and give her the wonderful life she deserves. Her forever home is my absolute priority. I am very flexible on price for the right home and would much rather know she has gone to someone who genuinely adores her than simply achieve a certain price.

Megan is a very special horse and this is a genuine, heartbreaking sale. I would love to speak to anyone seriously interested and tell you more about her and her history.

Please, no timewasters. The right home is everything. ❤️

The Shark- Carefully backed and educated to a very good standard has a great start to life.

He is very sweet in the school and enjoys hacking alone or in company. Can throw a friend on him and have a lovely day around Somerford Park.

Very level headed not at all spooky or has any unwanted vices.

Ready for a very successful novice season and will no doubt go on to be a HOYS cob.

Clean limb very straight mover. No health issues. I would say the only thing he doesn’t like is clippers with his ears and lower legs but is getting better every time. He is a yard favourite.

Ben is an amazing little horse with the kindest nature.

He is excellent to hack, he has decent flatwork and jumps up to 90cm, he loves x country.

He is good to bath, groom, clip, tack up, shoe etc - all the normal things.

He would be a suitable ride for a novice, he takes care of his rider and if you become unbalanced he will slow down for you. He is more slow than go and has a balanced rhythm.

He has had an easy life and has plenty of years left. He will live in or out.

The downside of Ben - he hates being alone, he needs to be in a field with another horse, he will not travel alone either but perfectly fine when travelled with another horse.

Price includes all tack and rugs - only for sale as daughter moving onto her older sisters horse.

Sue Ellen, a mare with the WOW Factor!!

Breeding unrecorded but known to be by the popular cob stallion Big Daddy. She has an amazing presence with a big front. The kindest and most trainable temperment. She is the ultimate all-rounder!! Has shown, hunted, sj, hacked and even ploughed!! She can turn her hoof to anything. She's big and noble but has grace! And intelligence. She has been the most fun to produce but sadly it is now time to find her new home. She has big elevated paces yet nimble. She can even do flying changes!!!

She was impeccable when introduced to hunting recently. Perfect with hounds, brave yet happy to stand and queue when required. Jumped big bullfinches and made light work of banks and drains.

She has done endless hacking through open fields, streams and busy roads. She is bombproof in traffic. She lives on an agricultural contacting yard so takes no notice of heavy machinery. She loves to jump and is careful over coloured poles.

Goes in a simple snaffle bridle, no flash or martingale. Has shown in a double. Nothing phases her!!

She has competed in the showrings all summer in both traditional classes and family horse, always being placed but Ireland has limited classes for heavy, feathered horses.

She could also look very smart clipped out. She has worked in harness, harrowing and ploughing. Could make a lovely driving horse also.

She is a very special mare with the temperment of a gelding. Very placid, good with other horses. Very healthy. Never sick or lame. Easy to clip, load and in traffic. She is the ultimate all-rounder and loves to please her owner. She would literally go to war for you!!. Good home is vital for this very special lady!! Serious enquiries only.

Joe is a 15.3hh cob cross gelding with his full history known, having been bought directly from his breeder. Broken by ourselves as a four-year-old and lightly hunted this season.

He has been the quietest and most uncomplicated horse to deal with, taking everything in his stride.

Joe has hunted several times this season. He stands quietly at the meet, happily jumps timber and hedges and loves watching the hounds work. He will stand on point, happily peel off from the field and hack home alone.

Joe has done some cross-country schooling, meeting ditches, banks, steps, water, timber, tyres and hedges.

He has very basic schooling but works consistently into a light, forward contact. He hacks alone and is unfazed by heavy traffic, flyovers, runners, dog walkers, farm machinery and livestock.

Teeth done, including wolf teeth removed. Shod, clipped, fit and ready for the season ahead.

Loads in both a trailer and large lorry. No stable vices or quirks.

Would make a super lady’s or teenager’s hunter or all-rounder.

It is with great sadness I have decied to put Tassy my super cob up for sale.

She has taken me from a confident novice to going out hunting and doing xc. She comes from a hunting back ground and with that you get all the pros of a horse with that level of experience. unflappable out and about, great manners, super sure footed and 3 fantastic paces. She has however let me know she is now looking for a quieter life so I am not selling her as a hunter. Not because she can not do it physically. I just know mentally she will benefit from a loving home that will be out hacking and pleasure riding rather than pushing on so to speak. Unfortunately hunting her again has left her quite tense. Not dangerous in any way, but she will need an experienced home and rider to help her settle back to the amazing horse she has been. I have been working on this but with others to bring on I lack the time she needs and deserves.

Tassy is not much of a school master but tries very hard when she is in the arena.

Everyone who meets Tassy loves her. She has even converted people not keen on cobs to cob lovers! As said, it will be a sad day here when she leaves so her going to the right home is the of the up most importance. She is a wonderful horse, I am unfortunately the wrong jockey now.

Vetting and viewings welcome. Up to date with jabs, teeth etc. Currently batefoot but happy to be shod. Feel free to give me a call to discuss anything further. Located near Andover SP11

Flori is a beautifully marked, 16hh, 6yo mare.

I bought her unbroken from her breeder so her full history is known. She has been an absolute pleasure to do in every way, right from the beginning.

She is brilliant to hack - alone or in company. Seen lots of heavy traffic and machinery, she doesn't bat an eyelid at any of it. Good and sensible in open spaces, doesnt get strong or silly at all.

Lovely to school, forward off the leg without being strong, always in a snaffle. Lots of potential either showing or dressage as she moves really well, recently got 69% and finished 3rd in her first ever prelim.

Very straight forward to a fence, never stopped etc. Currently teaching a novice 14yo child on her and she really looks after her. Been to arena hires and doesnt look at any fillers. Flori would suit a mother daughter share, a competition home or would just make a wonderful allrounder for somebody wanting to go out and have fun.

She is good to catch, load, travel, worm etc. Barefoot as has very good feet but well behaved for the farrier too.

I can't fault this mare in anyway, she is a favourite on the yard and homes will be vetted.

15.1hh Dun Connemara Gelding – very honest advert - Sold at Trade Price

  • Jumps well - very slowly
  • Connemara
  • Buckskin
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.1hh / 155cm
  • Jumps well - very slowly

Reason for Sale: he’s now 7 I’ve owned him for 3.5yrs and realised he is never going to be forward enough for me. Needs lots of leg but way more forward into a jump and in a field. School sour on the flat. He is quirky but that isn’t why he’s for sale. He’s not quiet or small enough for my young children/beginner but not forward enough for me. He has been my hacking/BS club SJ/fun ride horse to accompany my children. I’ve got other younger horses coming up who can start to do that job.

Pricing: please make me an offer for a quick sale, he is not vice free, he’s blemished and is quirky so lower price expected.

Breed: Full green book Connemara. Nicely bred.

Hoof wall: N/N negative for HWSD

Age / Height: 7 years old / 15.1 hh (might be bigger now)

Colour/blemishes: Dun (with a couple of white marks on his black legs, guessing from an accident as a foal). Has a fat knee from a kick in the field August 2025, all X rayed. Would not do well showing and too impatient to stand mannerly at a hunt. Very attractive, but muddy and fluffy at the moment.

Location: East Sussex

Vice: yes!! windsucks/cribs. Stops with a collar, we don’t use it. Never affected him.

Jumping: please check out my Instagram of full rounds of him jumping and videos of him jumping at home. He has never stopped at a show jump with me ever! Double Clear at his first One Day Event (many time faults from walking between fences). Has a very good BS Club record (feel free to look it up). Reserve Champion (70cm Showjumping) at the Sunshine Tour in 2025. Very often the slowest clear round.

Easily pops 1m20/1m25 for fun at home. See videos on Instagram. Wouldn’t have enough steam to get round a course of that height right now. Qualified for the big BS show at Stonleigh in 2026 in the 80and 70 club classes from two shows.

Whilst he is currently second in the 2026/7 South East BS club league (see screenshot) at both 80cm and 70cm (I don’t want to pay for full BS membership) I don’t think he would make a proper BS horse as he is too slow, I feel like I carry him around on my back round the course. Whilst he is slow he never stops, jumps off any stride and has some sort of footwork magic in getting over some big fences… but incredibly slow. 😂

Travel/Loading: Loads and travels brilliantly, but gets impatient at shows, so we travel him tacked up and get straight on.

Disclosed Quirks: Will have a leap if horses leave him behind. See videos of this on Instagram. It’s not very athletic. Rodeoed with me a bit on the way down to the arena at Hickstead at the sunshine tour (despite jumping clear), busy environments/warm up rings put him very on his toes. Has also rolled with rider on his back three times when bored at clinics waiting his turn to jump. Does not stand still at the mounting block (I hop on from the ground). Will also paw the ground when waiting his turn at Riding Club clinics. He’s super impatient, it’s really annoying. People say “busy brain” I say “idiot”. Have I put you off yet?

Feet/Maintenance: Incredibly cheap to keep; exceptional barefoot feet (best I have ever seen) even on stoniest ground; up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming checks. Good for the farrier but might bite their bottom if I don’t stand by his head (he’s an idiot).

Personality: Full of character/a bit of an idiot. Will playfully pull items out of my bag and chuck them across the yard (so annoying) and will let you lie down with him in the field for a snooze).

Hacking/Traffic: Hacks alone or in company; great with cars; may plant feet when meeting tractors and need a boot past, but never nasty. Tends to plant his feet if worried rather than anything else.

Ideal Home: Competent, experienced home with a lower budget who has the patience for his quirks and vices and can ride him actively forwards, strictly no novices. It would be lovely to find someone who clicks with him in the way that I do not!!!

Tack: no tack or rugs available, other horses share his bridle and rugs and his saddle will be adjusted for another horse.

See more pics and videos on my Instagram @rachrich18. Looking for a quick sale. Experienced home more important than price.

Penny has three lovely paces in the arena her schooling is coming along lovely she’s a very willing mare and just wants to please you. She also happily pops round a little course of fences which she throughly enjoys.

Penny has been out to the forest where she has been swimming in the river, jumping over logs and tyres. Which she had a lot of fun and would suit someone looking to do stuff like that in the future

I’ve taken her to mine and her first time to an unaffiliated showjumping competition where she was amazing she stood to be tacked up, with me fussing all over her and being nervous as it being my first time too. She made me feel confident on how well behaved she was being. We went into the warm up arena where there was all types of horses cantering around jumping and she took it all in her stride.

Penny is great to hack alone and in company she has seen all types of traffic and wasn’t fazed she’s more interested in being nosy at peoples houses 😂.

You can take her in an open field without any worry that she’s gonna be silly or make you feel unsafe.

In a group hack she’s happy to lead or be at the back same with cantering.

Penny is more woah than go but she’s not to the point where she wouldn’t listen to your leg she’s the perfect horse if your looking for something laid back but will have a bit of go about her when you ask.

I think penny would suit a competent teenager Or adult looking for something ready to go out and have fun at the woods, shows, hunting etc

She also has recently passed a 5 stage vetting

I have loads of Vidoes and any other questions please feel free to ask
