Claudina - 18 years old, no known health issues.

This is a very sad sale - Dina has a lovely temperament and real presence!

Sold as a happy hacker only, she is fit, well and in work but at 18 she deserves to spend her time in the slow lane. That said she loves a good gallop!

My novice nieces hack out with me off the lead rope and she is good as gold.

Lives on a working farm and not phased by heavy machinery, quads, motor bikes or cars. In fact in the 2 years she’s been with me she’s never been phased by anything!

Good to catch, shoe, worm, dentist, clip and cuddle.

Hacks alone and in company but can be stubborn out by herself so for that reason not being sold as a novice ride.

New home will be vetted as I am parting with this gorgeous girl reluctantly.

Freya
15.3 4yr Friesian x cob mare

Freya was lightly backed last year in her previous home in walk and trot and did a few steady pleasure rides. She was then purchased by my client and given the autumn/winter off and brought back into work gently including groundwork, walking in the arena and some hacking from March.

She is currently working in walk and trot in the fields independently, responsive but not reactive, you can put your leg on without getting orbited! She tries hard to please and naturally works in a nice shape, she will be very smart. She is starting to find her balance and confidence in herself and showing some really nice work.
She has been ridden by an 11yr old and was very kind.

She is hacking well in company, happy to lead, not been phased by any of the traffic we have seen out and about, and used to the vehicles on the farm. She has been out alone with us with someone on foot, she looks at a bit more when alone and benefits from support and confidence from her rider, as you'd expect from most 4yr olds!

She enjoys some pole work and is careful where she puts her feet.

She 'parks' for a mounting block, she also longreins well, and lunges.
She settled really quickly, is happy in or out and is nice and easy to have around. She has no vices, but anything left within reach does go in her mouth!
She's good to catch, lead, load, travel, trim (barefoot), bath, for the vet etc.

She enjoys a groom and a fuss and is very loving.
We are looking for someone capable of carrying on producing her now, she'll do a number of jobs in time and be very versatile.
Due to her age she is not suitable for someone nervous/novice/1st horse/rusty, she needs someone capable of continuing her education properly and creating a partnership.

She's up to date with everything and passed a 2 stage vetting when purchased, although obviously open to another suitable vetting (she's not cantering 10m circles yet!).

Home is of top priority.
Price to include bridle and rugs.
No loans or trials
Please don't be offended if I ask for your experience/videos etc, it's important I don't waste anyone's time with unsuitable viewings and/or upset her with the wrong riders. She's very forgiving for her age but is just a baby!

If no answer please drop me a message and I'll ring back ASAP.
She is on sales livery.

  • 15 years

  • Lovely Person
  • Brilliant to handle in all ways

Heartbreaking sale of our lovely 16.1 15 year old warmblood x

We have had the privilege of owning the lovely Autumn for the past two years and during that time she has helped my now 16 year old daughter transition from ponies to horses.

Autumn is a lovely person to have on the yard in every way, my petite 11 year old daughter regularly handles her with ease.

Autumn is a pleasure to hack alone and in company. She is level headed in traffic and is more than sensible in open spaces, never bolted, bucked or reared and I can always rely on her to bring my daughter home safely.

Autumn has given my daughter the best two years, we have gone to several stay aways and she has introduced my daughter to BS. My daughter now wants to move up the heights and with Autumn getting older we feel it is unfair to push her out of her comfort zone.

We think the perfect match for Autumn would be a competent adult who enjoys hacking, fun rides and a non competitive home. Autumn loves hacking and we feel that she would thrive in a hacking home.

We would love to find Autumn her forever home so this is of utmost importance to us.

Perfect to be clipped (she falls asleep), load, and for the farrier - she is currently barefoot and has very good feet. Up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming. Please no time wasters as this is difficult enough as it is. Absolutely no dealers.

Tack can be negotiated separately.

Greylands Maggie May

A super stamp of an Irish Sports Horse mare. She is the full package with the looks and a temperament to die for. She has 3 comfortable paces and a sweet little jump.

She has done a bit of everything, hacks alone or in company, good in open spaces, pops a course of jumps, will hunt all day long, struts a really nice dressage test and looks a picture in the show ring.

Good to do in all ways, loads and travels like a dream, good to shoe, clip, catch etc. genuinely one of the easiest horses to have around. Can be ridden after 6 months off and it was as if she was ridden yesterday.

She would suit someone wanting to hunt, show, hack, compete or generally just do a bit of everything with.

Full history known.

Monty is looking for a new best friend/forever home .

Someone who enjoys hacking , a bit of schooling and the odd riding club level dressage .

Monty is a well bred ex event horse , he is a very well schooled /educated relaxed chappie but due to some medical issues that will be FULLY disclosed he would suit someone experienced and balanced wanting to have a quieter life, due to those medical issues Monty would not suit a home wanting him to jump or wanting him to be out every weekend competing.

Monty will produce a super test and thoroughly enjoys going out training and competing, Monty also enjoys hacking and is forward thinking and confident out on his own and in company.

Monty would benefit from a smaller lighter rider and to be preferably kept on flatter fields as ours are very hilly along with our hacking so there is no let up, we feel this will benefit his long term well being .

Monty loves being out in the field , he wouldn’t be a horse to keep in all through the winter but it also happy to come in ie during the night or in during the day what ever your routine maybe .

Monty has no vices at all and is exceptionally easy to have around . Homes absolutely will be vetted as we really don’t want this lovely boy passed around.

This is a heartbreaking decision for Monty’s owner so your suitability for him is priority.

Beautiful 15.1/2hh Irish Mare, 6y/o Dora for sale.

? Just passed 5 stage vetting this week.

Dora is the most sweet natured and kind horse. She is a real good-doer.

Dora is broken and riding away, but still green as she is a late starter, for this reason she is not suitable for a novice. Dora is more woah than go, and requires her rider to push her forward. She is coming along nicely, but like with any green horse can be a bit unbalanced.

She has started jumping, and is showing real potential and scope.

She would make a lovely low level all rounder. Very safe and sensible to hack alone or in company.

She has been out hunting and to dressage/sj shows where she behaved impeccably.

Dora does not like clippers/needles and has to be sedated/twitched.

This sale is truly heartbreaking so please no time wasters, or joyriders. Home is more important than price so offers are considered.

Please note Dora has no recorded breeding but was sold to me as a Connemara X. My guess is she is an ID X Connemara.

  • Super Safe Confidence Giver
  • 100% in every way

What can I tell you about my boy. He has given me 6 years of absolute pleasure. Given me so much confidence to get out and enjoy horse riding again.

Norman will hack anywhere and carry anyone, from a complete novice to stepping up for the confident. He will go in any traffic, from main roads to country lanes. Will squeeze on the grass verge for tractors to pass. He will look after you and ensure you come home smiling.

He has been professionally schooled although he prefers getting out rather than going round a school.

Will travel in a trailer or lorry, in company or alone. Will stand happily tied for hours. Loves a good pressure wash. Live in or out. Stays in the field alone. In fact he is just brilliant to do anything and everything with.

Taken me on many fun rides. Pops a log, not a show jumper though. I adore him. Barefoot with really strong feet, up to date with teeth, vacs and worming.

Now if you want to school him every day then I won’t sell him to you. I can’t say he will jump 80cm as he probably won’t, and we don’t have a ménage to trial him.

If you want something to be part of your family, to put a smile on his riders face, and know that you will always come home safe then get in touch.

Never been sick or sorry whilst with us. Only looking for new home as I have another horse and no time.

I genuinely will only sell to the right home
