  • So much potential for showing, dressage or to just be the coolest leisure horse around!

Very sad to announce that Basil must find a new owner, through no fault of his own.

We adore him and would absolutely love to see him give someone as much fun as he has given us, a good long term home is our priority.

Basil does not insist on being sporty, he’d love a hacking in company life really, and wow is he comfy!

8 year old, apx 19.1+ brown dappled shire gelding.

Before you get too excited, he is over a tonne of ADHD, and in fear of invisible things on a daily basis - so can be a handful to manage and needs consistent attention to contain the beast whilst getting him into a routine, he’s not dangerous he just lives on high alert when not in his bedroom or under saddle, but in reality he’s a wimp and actually just wants you to hold his hand while whatever scares him passes or you pass it.

That being said, he has matured enormously since coming to me last year and rides through most of his issues easily. He’s at his spookiest at home, rarely does he look at anything while out/shows etc

He has been to several shows including his first stay away this year at The National Shire Show. He had great results including being pulled 6th in his first HOYS qualifier in a very big and strong class to finish 9th. He has always behaved impeccably at shows and tends to need minimal working in

He will do pretty much anything you’d like, if you are capable of doing it too, he’s a team player not a leader. He genuinely is a rarity though with so much potential for showing, dressage or to just be the coolest leisure horse around!

You will be eternally entertained and in love, guaranteed.

£8,000 ONO
  • Welsh Section D
  • Black
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Allrounder
  • Great dressage potential
  • School master

14.3hh 9yrs old WPB Black gelding. Charlie is a very smart horse, he has 3 balanced flashy paces and works into a contact. Competed at pony club, dressage, XC and SJ events.

Charlie has a lovely jump happily popping course of 80 with scope for higher. Has done unaffiliated dressage with ability to progress.Hacks alone and in company. Good to clip/ shoe/ box/ catch.

Charlie has been our much-loved happy hacker and leisure horse. He’s mostly been used at pony club, hacking and schooling by our teenage daughter, but unfortunately, due to a change in circumstances our daughter is no longer able to give him what he needs.

He’s a fun, forward-going ride with that classic Welsh spark. He’s never nasty, but he does have that cheeky, intelligent Welsh nature, so he’s best suited to a confident and experienced rider who can enjoy and channel his personality.

In the right hands, he’ll make someone an absolutely brilliant partner and go a long way – whether it’s for hacking, fun rides, or even bringing on further if you want to do more.

5* home only where he’ll be loved as much as he is here.

Up to date with dentist and vaccinations.

Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a viewing/ride.

Stunning 16hh 10-year-old Cob gelding looking for his next experienced partner. Big, solid type with plenty of presence and a kind nature.

Perfect for vet / farrier / clipping / dentist / loading and travelling


Lives out most of the year. Good doer.

No vices.

Super to work around and loves a fuss.

Excellent to hack out alone or in company. Well used to farm machinery. Great on pleasure rides / in the forest. Has been to a few local shows and has been a gentleman.

Enjoys jumping, did some cross country schooling last summer.

He has been out of work since September as I was pregnant, so is currently offered from the field. Previously used as a fun, reliable all rounder.

Generally a laid back big chap but has thrown the occasional excitable buck (rare when he is in regular work).

Would thrive with a confident, competent rider to bring him back into work.

Has never bolted or reared.
Does have sweet itch which is managed with rugs and fly control. Otherwise in excellent health.

Has been barefoot for last 2 years. Up to date with teeth, vaccinations & worming.

Serious enquiries only, no time wasters as this is a very difficult sale. Will only go to 5* home. Happy to discuss further & videos available - WhatsApp 07723 235103.

Harry – 16.2hh Irish Draught Gelding by Fintan Himself, 6 Years Old

Imported from Ireland as a two-year-old and carefully produced by ourselves. Harry has been used as a hireling for the past two seasons, ridden by a wide variety of clients. He is a true old-fashioned Irish type – plenty of bone, a leg in each corner, and the temperament to match.

A real armchair ride with a lovely soft mouth. Never pulls. He will jump absolutely anything you point him at – timber, wire, hedges, ditches – nothing phases him. While well-established on the flat, he has primarily been used for hunting.

Harry is never silly or sharp. He is not strong and does not buck, bolt, rear or nap. A real gentleman in every way – he’s good to do in and out of the stable, hacks alone or in company, and is completely unfazed by traffic.

A mannerly, straightforward horse with a lovely temperament – truly one for the whole family.

**Does have a curb to his off hind. Had since a two year old. Hunted three seasons on it. Does not affect him in anyway and is purely cosmetic. Fully formed. Some vets do not like them. Needing the person viewing to have some common sense about this. Not needing a 5 stage vetting & wanting to insure for a million quid. He is a very good hunter.

4yo 15.2 Cob Gelding

A beautifully marked piebald cob gelding with looks, brains, and a brilliant attitude.

Forward-thinking and responsive, Garry is not your typical cob - he's eager to please, enjoys his work, and has a lovely go about him without being sharp or silly. But equally is happy to poodle with a novice rider!

He's a genuine, uncomplicated ride who has been cross country, beach rides and takes absolutely everything in his stride.

A super safe cob, safe enough for a sensible novice ride or happy to step up jump a course of fences no problems.

Hacks alone or in company and is super sensible out in open spaces. He's perfect in the heaviest of traffic including buses, tractors, lorry's etc. good with hounds & happy to go infront or behind.

Great to shoe, clip, vets, load etc.

A proper model stamp of a cob, Garry has all the presence to stand out in the show ring, plus the brain and versatility to excel in any job - from pleasure riding to riding club level. He also has a cracking bold jump on him and never says no!

George is a beautifully put-together 4-year-old chestnut fully registered Irish Draught gelding, standing at 16hh. This young horse is a real head-turner with his classic good looks, solid bone, and straight, correct movement.

He has been professionally started and is riding sweetly on the flat with a willing attitude and soft mouth. Shows three balanced, rhythmical paces and is beginning to work into a consistent contact. Lightly introduced to poles and has popped fences with ease – showing promise for a future in any sphere.

Good to handle, load, catch, and for the farrier. He’s been hacked alone and in company, proving sensible and level-headed in new environments. Has been cross country schooling and equally as sensible. He’s proving to be bold enough to make a fantastic future eventer or hunter.

This is a quality young horse with a great brain and temperament – ready to further his education with a competent rider. Would excel in the show ring, eventing, hunting, or as a smart all-rounder.
However he is a young horse so not most suited to a novice or unbalanced rider.

Clean legs
Good to load, shoe, clip & with the vet
Has had a sarcoid removal not in any way & totally hidden.

Needless to say he is bred to perfection with many greats throughout his lineage.

He is being offered sensibly priced to the right home, we would love to see him out in the show ring and or future stud for someone’s approved breeding program as he has all the qualities to make an outstanding stallion.

He has an amazing temperament ( you wouldn’t know he is a colt) and is easy to handle in ways, good to catch, load, wash, farrier etc. Fully wormed etc upto date.

Viewings welcomed. Any further questions please call.

Kindest Mare Happy Hacker or Hunter

  • Kindest mare I've ever met NEVER marish
  • Tries her hardest at everything
  • Happy hacker or future hunting cob
This mare has 100% been on this planet in a past life absolutely nothing fazes her and shes got an older head on young shoulders.

Nancy has been used for hacking for us to put miles on her and shes has never flinched at huge tractors, dust bin lorries, trailers carrying straw, motorbikes etc will walk past as they drive past. Most shes done is a little shy away or a jump flinch even at a duck flying up into her face off a river bank she didnt re-act. Had dogs running around her daily on the farm no issues at all.

Hacks alone in company amazing, front or back but for a canter shes a forward cob who does like to be up front she never stronger or silly buy does enjoy her hacking. Hacking alone she can just look back a couple of times but a little push and she does this is only when 1st leaving the farm.

Shes never bucked, reared, bolted, spun with us.

Nancy is green in the school but tries her hardest and just wants to please, she will walk trot and canter well shes not a kick along but not a speed machine. Lovely a responsive and doesn't lean on you.

She great with polework and just started jumping poles up to 50cm.

Nancy stands to be clipped from head to toe, has front shoes on with us due to all the hacking but was barefoot before us, up to date with dentist perfect teeth, vaccines all up to date.

To load she can be a little sticky on the ramp but improving, travelling shes fab at pleasure rides shes never fizzed up just the same old Nancy.

She is to be sold with her wardrobe including her saddle, bridle and rugs. We were growing her out back into a traditional but she was fully hogged out when we got her.

She is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of her own i cant express that enough. We've all cried at this decision but sadly personal health issues and myself waiting for quite a bit surgery had made me find her a home.

I literally cannot fault her.

This mare is going to make someone a cracking all rounder. She loves her job and just wants to please her riders.

She’s happy to live in or out. Currently living out. On her own next to other horses. Can go out with others.

Loads well, travels well. Lives off fresh air. Cheap to keep. Super easy to get in from field walks over.

She will suit a rider who is used to a foward ride. Rather than a plod.

She has no vices but she loves her work.

She’s hacked out on the buckle with a begginer rider and they felt super safe.

She loves her jumping. Will make some one a very happy a

Great with traffic. Has been to the beach and she loved everything about it.

She also had a swim in the sea. Not a bad bone in her body.
