16 hand, stocky, solid 14 years old skewbald gelding,

Currently enjoyed as a happy hacker, but likes to pop a small jump, has done intro dressage and organised pleasure rides.

He likes to hack out with another horse ( or a willing husband on a bike!) Shilo is willing and patient but not a plod, he likes routine and is opinionated.

He is very strong on the ground and will nip given the opportunity. He needs to be in work and needs work, with coming out of winter.

Therefore he is not a novice or a child's ride.

Good to shoe, box and catch. Good with animals (except pigs!) and with traffic, cyclists, motorbikes, and tractors.

A good doer who needs restricted grazing and the sight of another horse when turned out.

He is happy turned out with either mares or geldings.

He is up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worm count. A very much loved horse who has been in the same home for 8 year's.

Caring home essential.

Will come with wardrobe.

Gaston, approx 15hh, 8yr old, smart palomino gelding.

Gaston has mainly been used as a happy hacker for the last 3 years, attending pleasure/endurance rides, and also unaffiliated dressage.

We took him to an arena hire yesterday where he behaved really well, jumped some little show jumps, not looking at any of the fillers, and then went happily over ditches, up/down steps, and through water without any hesitation or need for a lead.

He hacks very well, is good in traffic. He is easy to catch/box/clip/shoe etc. Lives in or out. A very straightforward horse to have around the yard.

We think Gaston will make someone a lovely, fun allrounder.

Mo is a 16.2 15yo bay Irish Thoroughbred mare. She is an extremely loving mare who is very affectionate and easy to do.

Unfortunately last year she had a field accident which has means that she now needs a quieter life of low level hacking and pole work with occasional schooling sessions. She is great out on forest rides on her own but would prefer company if hacking out from the yard.

We have been working with the physio with exercises and stretches. Mo has in the past gained up to 70% at dressage and jumped up to 1m.

For sale due to current riders long term illness.

Safe, Genuine Mare - The ultimate happy hack & pleasure ride

  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 15.3 hands
  • Incredible temperament — friendly, affectionate, and trustworthy
  • Eye-catching mare with a lovely presence
  • Hacks out safely and not much phases her
Aredis Yorkshire Rose (Rosie) is a stunning mare with a temperament to match — friendly, confident, and always looking after her rider. She hacks out safely in heavy traffic (I'd never say bomb-proof, but she's close), alone or in company, but as a dominant mare she’s best suited to a capable, experienced rider rather than a complete novice.

She can turn her hoof to a bit of everything, but I feel she would be happiest in a hacking or pleasure ride home, as this is where she really shines and enjoys herself most. She's an intelligent mare and loves variety.

She’s currently in light work after a winter break and just needs her fitness building. She lives out in a mixed herd in summer and in at night in winter.

Rosie is up to date with the farrier, dentist, and vaccinations. She has a slight foot imbalance, easily managed by her farrier, and a small cosmetic scar on her left hind.

This is a very sad sale due to lack of time and rider injury, and finding her a happy, loving home is my priority.

Outstanding 15hh Show Hunter Pony – 2011 Bay Mare
Royal International & HOYS Placed

A rare opportunity to acquire a top-class 15hh bay mare (2011), a true-to-type Show Hunter Pony of exceptional quality, presence and substance.

By Rubin Star N and out of Coppelia II, she combines proven performance bloodlines with outstanding conformation and movement, making her not only a serious competition prospect but also a valuable future breeding asset.

Previously extremely successful in the show ring, she has won at all major shows and achieved prestigious placings at both the Royal International Horse Show and Horse of the Year Show. A consistent, genuine performer on the biggest stages.

Retired from the ring in 2023 to have a foal, she has low mileage and has been professionally and sympathetically produced throughout her career.

She moves straight and correctly with balanced, rhythmical and ground-covering paces, maintaining a soft, established outline. Snaffle-mouthed, beautifully schooled and mannerly, she is straightforward and a pleasure to deal with in all respects.

Now ready to continue her career, she would be ideally suited to:
• A competitive home aiming for top track success
• Educating and producing a younger jockey
• An elegant hack or quality dressage prospect or equally
a family friend.


With her proven record, outstanding pedigree and correct stamp, she would also be a tremendous asset to any future stud programme.

16.1HH, Rising 8yrs Dabble Grey Mare by Cruising Ambassador - Bold, Brave and Forward


Ref #: 401831

  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Dapple grey
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Honest, Genuine and very capable mare
  • Forward thinking
  • Loves her work and being used
Misty is a 16.1HH, rising 8 year old Irish Sports horse by Cruising Ambassador. Evented up to 90cm as a 6 year old and proved herself to be bold and genuine to a fence. She absolutely loves her show jumping and cross country - brave, confident, honest and forward-thinking.

She is excellent to hack on her own or with others. She happily going hacking with dogs, and is sensible in traffic. Easy to catch, handle and manage day to day. Snaffle mouthed all the time.

She is a competitive mare who enjoys her work and likes a rider with a purpose. She can have a fun but safe spook and the occasional 'whoopee' buck when feeling fresh - never nasty, so is NOT suitable for a novice ride and would not suit a nervous or unbalanced ride. That said, my 12 year old daughter can hack and jump her and is totally safe.

Well established on the flat for her age, however she has fallen out of love with dressage.

I believe she would thrive with a capable, gun-ho type rider who wants to enjoy life - whether thats cross country, hunter trials, arena eventing, fun rides, show jumping, team chasing or hunting (although she has not hunted before), or simply someone looking for a forward, fun hacking partner.

She has plenty of ability and enthusiasm and though still young requires a confident rider who will enjoy her competitive nature rather than try to dampen it.

Very good with loading, clipping, dentist, farrier and vet.

Serious enquiries only please.

If you feel you could offer her the knowledgeable, competent home she needs, please get in touch.
