• Full Up 14.2 - 15.2hh. Age 6 -14 yrs.
• Confident Hacking Out / Meeting Farm Vehicles. Sensible To Hack In A Group / At Pleasure Rides.
• 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.

**Beautifully bred 16.2hh Zangersheide Warmblood mare by Numero Uno**

Una is the type that's hard to find – great breeding, kind enough to be a family friend, yet talented enough to excel in any sphere.

She is easy to handle both on and off the ground and is a real yard favourite. Safe and fun to hack alone or in company, she's confident with roadwork, gates and open spaces. She loads and travels well, is a pleasure to take out and about, and stays level-headed even in busy environments.

She works nicely on the flat, is forward-going with a tidy jump, and is brave cross-country. A real confidence-giver around a course, although she wouldn't suit a complete novice as she can be strong at times. Ridden in a snaffle in all disciplines.

Una has a recorded competition history with both British Showjumping and Showjumping Ireland before spending the last two years in a hacking home, leaving her low mileage in recent years. Since being with us, she has been to arena hires and local competitions, behaving impeccably and jumping comfortably around 90cm–1m

Recently placed in an unaffiliated ODE.

She has previously competed with a teenage rider and has the temperament and experience to make a lovely partner for a competent teenager or adult wanting to enjoy all-round riding, from beach rides and clinics to competitions, PC and riding club.

By the world-class Numero Uno, renowned for passing on his superb temperament and athletic versatility, and out of a Wunder Boy van de Zuuthoeve (Argentinus) mare, Una is a kind, genuine and reliable all-rounder.

• Fantastic hacker
• Cross country horse
• Endurance potential

Delilah is a lovely-natured mare with a kind temperament and endless stamina. She's the sort of horse that loves having a job and thrives when she's out exploring rather than simply going through the motions in the school.

An Appaloosa with no breeding recorded on her sire's side, Delilah has an athletic way of going and, judging by her movement, may have some trotter or pacer influence.

She works well in the arena, but this is not where she truly shines. Delilah absolutely loves hacking, cross-country, beach rides and open spaces, and would likely make a fantastic endurance prospect. She is safe and sensible while out.

While she’s happiest out, she is not a kick-along happy hacker. Delilah is sensible, safe, forward-thinking and enjoys getting on with the job, so she would best suit a confident teenager or young adult who wants a genuine fun ride. She would happily turn her hoof to low-level jumping, riding club activities and local competitions.

Delilah is:

• Good for the farrier.

• Up to date with the dentist.

• Easy to catch and handle.

• A pleasure to have around the yard.

When Delilah first arrived with us, she was reluctant to load. We've invested plenty of time and patience into her, and she now loads confidently and without fuss.

Delilah is a fantastic mare with bags of potential. We feel she will truly flourish in a one-to-one home where she can build a strong partnership with her rider.

If you're looking for a fun, genuine horse who loves an adventure and has plenty more to give, Delilah could be your perfect match.

Eye catching ID for Sale

Loves hacking and just general fuss.

Hunted in Ireland and England, can be a little strong so would suit more to a gentleman hunter but has been hunted by women. Would make a good field masters or hunt staff horse. 

He’s a very loving horse that needs to find his forever home with an experienced person or family, he can be a little sensitive on the ground however not nasty or dangerous. Safe as houses to ride been ridden by children to inexperienced adults.

Bombproof in traffic. Good to shoe, clip, catch, and load.

Unfortunately he’s only for sale due to being a bit too strong for an older lady to hunt. He’s very honest and willing, loves to jump and would thrive from furthering education in the school as he’s shows 3 beautiful paces but has only been hunted and hacked his whole life!

He’s been xc schooling and popped round courses of showjumps and loved every minute.

He needs to go to a genuine home to further his education and experience!

He has got a splint on his front knee and small scar on his hind. This however does NOT affect him in anyway, we have lowered the price to reflect this. He’s worth every penny! The price is very negotiable for a good home and hassle free sale. Please do not contact if you’re looking for a novice as I want the very best for this horse with people that will understand his small sensitivities.

Easy to load and with farrier.

He is a big strong young horse so will not be a novice ride. Please only get in contact if you have previous experience working and bringing on young horses as I don’t want him going to just anyone.

Ridden by an eventer throughout the week, so is being professionally schooled.

Dressage wouldn’t be her favourite phase but she is improving all the time.

Lovely to hack, sensible on her own and in company. Good to shoe/box/catch etc. She is eligible for ROR classes. Does weave in the stable when other horses are turned out before her in the morning hence price.

Chaccora fleur

10-year-old | 16.2hh Warmblood Mare

Please read the full advert before enquiring.

Fleur is looking for a loving, low-pressure forever home where she can enjoy life at a slower pace.

We have owned Fleur since she was a yearling, so she has a full, known history. She has successfully competed up to 1.30m British Showjumping, but she has reached a stage where she no longer enjoys that lifestyle. Because of this, we are seeking a home that will allow her to relax and thrive, rather than one focused on competitive showjumping.

Fleur has a few quirks, so please read carefully

She is a headshaker, which can make her a little tense at times, although it does not affect her ridden work.

She had a couple of small sarcoids as a youngster, which were successfully banded and have never returned.

She is a lovely mare with so much to offer

Enjoys living out and is a very good doer, happily living off fresh air.

Not suitable for a novice rider, as she is responsive off the leg and soft in the contact.

Good to shoe and load.

Hacks happily alone or in company.

Loves attention and enjoys being fussed over.

We feel Fleur would make a fantastic low-level dressage horse, happy hacker, or all-round leisure horse for someone looking for a talented mare to enjoy without the pressure of jumping.

We have lots of photos and videos from throughout her life and competition career. Sadly, with children, other horses, and work commitments, we can no longer give her the calm, relaxed lifestyle she truly deserves.

Absolutely no homes wanting to compete in showjumping.

No dealers.

A knowledgeable, loving home is our top priority

15.2hh 5yo Irish TB chestnut gelding

By Sea The Stars, out of a Rainbow Quest mare

Cloud is a very easy going, gentle and kind horse, who is enjoying his chance at a second career.

He is riding well on the flat, with a level temperament, trainable brain and soft mouth. His paces are super rhythmical and balanced for his level of training. We have started his education over coloured poles and natural fences, proving genuine and honest.

Cloud hacks alone, and in company, in front or behind. Has led off of another horse in walk and trot out hacking. He has seen traffic and farm machinery, and again unfazed.

Easy to handle, good to do in the stable and tied on the yard, likes some cuddles and affection. Good with the farrier and has nice feet, shod all round. I have not clipped him but he was perfect with the trimmers on his bridlepath so can’t see that he would be a problem. Loads and travels well, standing patiently when we have stopped at the services or arrived prior to unloading.

Cloud has all the building blocks to progress in any sphere with a competent rider, no novices. He deserves a loving home who will dedicate time to his education.

Please email with any questions, or with a brief explanation of your riding experience and aspirations, and we can see if Cloud would be a suitable partner for you. It’s very important to us to team horses with the right home for success!

“Norman” is looking for his new home as he requires more than I can give him due to my health issues.

He is a big chunky boy and is 9 years old. He stands at approx 16.2 hh and was broken to ride in February this year.

He is riding out and will happily go first or last. He schools well and gives a lovely trot and canter. He requires a committed rider to continue with his education and have some fun. He is a strong lad and still green and so is not a novice ride.

Norman has been shown in hand but this can be overwhelming for him at a busy show ground and so a quieter life as a happy hacker would suit him best.

Standing at approximately 15.2hh outstanding Irish Cob Gelding |Just 5 Years | Exceptional, Safe All-Rounder | £17,500 Ono

If you’re searching for a horse that genuinely can turn his hoof to anything, then look no further.

Standing at approximately 15.2hh and having just turned 5 years old, this beautifully bred Irish Cob carries the renowned Faeryoak prefix, known for producing quality, versatile horses with exceptional temperaments. Produced consistently, sympathetically and correctly, he combines a sensible, trainable brain with quality movement, presence and versatility that is increasingly difficult to find.

This exceptional young horse has already enjoyed success in a variety of disciplines. He has competed in Riding Club activities and local-level showing, regularly taking the spoils in the cob classes and achieving Reserve Champion, only being beaten by a very smart Shetland on the day.

On the flat, he is established, level and willing, with three balanced paces and enough flair to produce a very smart dressage test. He has attended jumping clinics, is lovely over poles and is sensible and straightforward to a fence. Having been cross-country schooling, he has seen solid obstacles and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Gates are no issue, happily opening and closing them with ease.

Despite his age, he possesses an exceptionally sensible head on young shoulders. He is the type the entire family can enjoy, as an example:

• Hunting on Saturday with Dad

• Dressage on Monday with Mum

• Pony Club activities with the children through the week!

A superb weight carrier, he is kind and forgiving with novice riders whilst still offering enough quality and ability for a more experienced rider to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for a quiet hack around the village, a Riding Club partner, a showing prospect, one for hunter trials or hunting, he is an all-round family horse who is adaptable enough to do it all.

On the ground he is an absolute gentleman and a pleasure in every way. He loads, travels and clips impeccably and is easy to handle in all respects.

Currently barefoot with excellent, strong feet. Recently had his teeth attended to and is fully up to date with vaccinations, worming and all routine care.

A truly special horse with a bright future ahead of him - a real investment.

Viewings welcomed and open to the vet.
