Happy Hackers: 15hh & Over

Wanted 16hh hacker


Ref #: 374111

  • wanted 16hh hacker
£5,000
  • family horse
  • wanted 16hh hacker

My name is Elizabeth, I'm 36 and based in Cheshire. I used to ride regularly when I was younger so have experience owning horses but I have had a break from riding for the past 10 years. Life has now settled down so I'm looking to get back into riding and looking forward to horse ownership again.

I am looking for a horse who would be more content with a quieter lifestyle. Must enjoy being brushed and pampered. Happy to go hacking and light school work.
Not a horse who is spooky or overly forward going so for this reason I think ex race horses or pure TB's would not be suitable.
Ideally a horse who has come from a loving home. I am more than happy to stay in touch with previous owners.


16hh - 16.3hh
Age 7+
Excellent in all traffic
Must be happy to hack alone as well as company
Good to shoe/load/travel
No vices
No major health issues
Good to turn out with others
A family horse
Preferably a ID x TB, warmblood type rather than a wider horse such as a cob.
I'm 5'6, size 12 for reference.

Happy to travel to view but I do not have a trailer to collect.


Please WhatsApp me some info & pictures/videos first.
Thank you!

My lovely Cora! Cora is the sweetest little mare. She is a 5yo 15.3hh bay mare.

Cora is a little jumper out and out- she wants to be careful over a pole and she is always bold over even the spookiest fillers! She hasn’t stopped at anything and has always been super genuine and always tried her best to be careful.

Cora is good to hack, alone or in company, she is good in traffic and farm machinery. She is good to canter through the open fields and doesn’t buck.

Cora is green on the flat- she is learning to take the contact and soften but she can go against the hand slightly- she is a beautiful mover and has rhythmical paces and is obedieny to school.

Jumping in the school at home she can be a bit more keen- I ride her in a snaffle but I appreciate another rider may want more bridle!

Cora has regularly attended showjumping shows, and she has a bright future ahead of her in this area!

She is good to load, travel, shoe- I haven’t clipped her. She turns out with mares or geldings and lives in or out. She loves a bath and a pamper!

Cora is open to any vetting, she is injury/illness free. She does however crib- which is hugely reflected in a horse of her qualities price. She has no damage to her teeth and doesn’t wreck my doors/fencing.

Cora would best be suited to a small adult/older teen looking for produce a lovely horse on to jump, on a budget.

Lovely home sought after for my lovely girl!

We’ve taken her to dressage, showjumping, xc, fun rides, hunt rides and even endurance GB rides.

Dressage is her most preferred discipline.

She is sensitive and takes confidence from her rider. Never does anything wrong just prefers reassurance, therefore she is NOT a novice ride.

Hacks alone or in company.

Good to shoe, clip.

Loads and travels well in trailers, 3.5T and our 7.5T.

Price just lowered to get a quick sale!

Same home since a 2 year old colt and produced extremely carefully and slowly.
Bruce is a complete gentleman who has been so easy to do in every way.

He has been purchased with the potential to become a dressage / riding club allrounder , he is only 4 years of age and still has lots of growing to do.
We have produced him very slowly and not over done any ridden work or road work he gets hacked mostly and just once a week in the arena
From a very young age he has been kind and gentle and accepting of everything you ask of him.
He lives on a busy farm and is great in the heaviest of farm traffic, cars, wagons, bikes etc, young children and various other animals.
He has been regularly foot trimmed since a 2 year old.
Bruce is good to bath/shower loves attention and being pampered as we have a solarium and done on a weekly basis ! He is also good to clip having been fully clipped out at 4 years.

Bruce is currently schooling nicely in the arena, proving to have a lovely soft mouth and responsive to the leg.
He has been to some riding club rallies and pony club rallies with my daughter who is an 8 year old novice !
Bruce does not look or spook his attitude towards life is quite remarkable for his young age he definitely has a young head on old shoulders .
He has hacks out alone in heavy traffic and in company.
And used to riding in huge arable open fields.
He has been in the trailer most weeks for hacks and to the beach and to riding club / pony club rallies he behaves impeccably.

He would suit someone looking for their forever horse who wants to nurture this future superstar. Due to his age he would suit a more competent rider but no reason why a novice could not ride.

He is a complete pleasure to own
5 star homes need only apply.

Please note that Bruce does have a scar on his chest and he also sucks his tongue these do not affect his performance in anyway.

He stands at 14.2hh on the wither and 15hh bum high so will end up 15hh
Open to any vetting.
Please get in touch anytime for a chat or more videos thanks for reading.

  • Yard favourite, very easy to do.
  • Ideal for lady or experienced teen.
Lexi has seen it all. She has done pony club camp, riding club teams, she loves cross country and pole work. She has active paces, she rides from the leg with a soft mouth. She has a good walk and could produce a lovely low level test or return to low key eventing. 80cm is where she is happy in show jumping.

This sale is reluctant but my daughter moved onto higher levels a while ago. Lex has spent the last 3 years as one of our therapy horses. She is gentle and safe around children and is the most popular horse choice to work with. However she likes to go out, and is lacking a rider here, her part loaner having moved on to Uni last year. Lexi has had a year off ridden work and has been at grass. She has been gently brought back under saddle this spring, is now hacking fit, and ready to restart schooling with a new partner.

Lexi thrives on connection. Give her the love, and she will give the world to a quiet balanced rider with soft hands. She always try’s her best and is a quick learner. She is a lovely hack, happy first or last. She hacks on her own, she may head home a little more forward but wont jig-jog. She is snaffle mouthed at all times. No vices, other than a dislike of fly sprays! No lumps or bumps. She has a few scars on her legs, but these are cosmetic.

Lex is up to date with teeth, worming etc. She is currently just shod at the front, very easy to do (clip, shoe, teeth, vet etc), travels well and happy turned out in a mixed herd. She has lived out all year round with field shelters but is equally happy in a stable at night with friends.

ROR eligible. Good, experienced home an absolute priority.

Being ex racehorse, she does not suit a hunting or group-rides home.
Tack available separately by negotiation

If your looking for a bombproof hacking horse, and your next best friend then look no further!

15h registered connie, 15yr old, gelding. All breeding recorded.

This super sweet chap is a beautiful model with the loveliest temperament. He is bombproof to hack, he will go alone, in company, in front or behind with no hang ups at all. We have seen motorbikes, buses, wagons, tractors, bicycles...... nothing bothers him at all.

He is very forward in the school, no badness in him just a typical jumping horse that wants to be doing his job! He does settle but it does take a while, I have videos of when you go in then when he's settled. I think he would be more suited to someone who just wants to tack up and hack out for miles with no worries.

He is lovely to deal with in everyway. Good to shoe, clip, load and travel

17.2hh registered Percheron. 9 yrs old, grey gelding.

Loxley is a slow and steady horse, excellent in large open spaces, good in a group and is a straight forward, leg on ride.

In the past he has participated in riding club activities, before coming to a BHS centre to take people hacking.

He is a very large draught horse so a home experienced with heavy horses is essential.

For sale through no fault of his own.

Apple has competed to Elementary BD (with previous home) always infront of the leg.

I have mainly hunted her (5 full days last season), helped at numerous newcomers, great with children’s ponies.

A delight to hack, first or last, alone and in company. Perfect to ride and lead. She will pop a log but not really her thing. Excellent in ALL traffic.

Had some time off 2023 but sound and in work since, reflected in price.

16.3hh 5 year old chestnut gelding - ID X TB

He has 3 nice paces and a lot of potential for the future. He has been slowly produced and ready to start competing. Would really excel in dressage, but would also make a nice show hunter. He has seen a few small jumps and is bold, with some more work on jumping im sure he will get the hang of it quickly. 

He is a straightforward and forgiving ride, would suit a competent amateur as well as professional.

For a young horse he hacks out well alone and in company. Good in traffic and open spaces. 

Good to trim/load/catch etc. No vices.

Super horse with so much to give and a trainable attitude. He is friendly in the yard and easy to keep, will live in or out.

  • If you’re looking for safe, sane, and seriously fun… meet Barney!
This lovely 5-year-old full Irish Draught sire is Young Zidane. He was bred by a top showing breeder and has siblings qualifying for RIHS and HOYs. So he would certainly blend in very well on the show circuit.

Please do not be put off by his age! He really is old head on young shoulders! So much so he would suit a novice rider as-well as an older rider wanting something totally reliable. We have videos of him with a variety of riding abilities.

Barney is the ultimate all-rounder. He has done a bit of everything with the same cool attitude no matter what or where we go – out at competitions, eventing, hunting, hacking, and camps. He’s brave as a lion, honest as the day is long, and always up for an adventure.

He is a super safe, leg-on ride – the kind you can trust to look after you and just get on with the job. He is more a woah than go ride so he suits anyone from a complete novice up to someone who just wants a relaxed ride but is capable in all spheres. Hacks alone or in company, pops any fence you point him at on any stride, is completely unoffended by a miss.

Barney is very confidence giving! He’s got a beautiful natural outline and balance so would happily do some pleasing dressage tests even though going in circles he does find a bit boring but he really puts his heart into anything he does. He would suit a varied life of doing bits of everything.

He really suits and loves being out and about whether that be Hunting, XC or hacking.

Barney is a great doer, barefoot with fabulous feet, and happily doing all activities without shoes. Very Low maintenance and a total gent on the yard.

He’s the perfect partner for someone wanting fun, confidence, and versatility.

Loads of videos on request!

This boy deserves the best of best of homes he really is a real life unicorn ??
