DEEDEE
absolutely beautiful 17hh pure Irish Draught (green book) 2017 bay mare. This girl has been nicely done, she’s hunted, done most riding club activities and jumps for fun. She’s a quiet ride, safe and sensible yet flashy and responsive. She will go up the gears for a game jockey, yet step down and be a steady neddy for someone less confident.

She has impeccable manners on the ground, trust worthy to be around and very quiet. Definitely doesn’t seem her size on the ground or under saddle.

She has three correct, balanced and beautiful paces on the flat, snaffle ride and will listen to your voice or aids.
DeeDee has jumped up to 120cm with us showing a great shape, she is a fabulous hedge hopper and would be an asset to anyone for the upcoming hunt season, a head turning model and great quality. Brilliant allrounder / family horse, she ticks all boxes and does it all.

DeeDee is super to hack, alone and in company, she will take on the biggest of traffic and gives you confidence all day long, open to any vet or trainer, what a unicorn this girl is. £12500

Needle In A Haystack - Super Cob


Ref #: 378811
  • Will take a range of riders
  • Loves to jump
  • As straightforward as you’ll find
£6,500 OVNO
  • Cob
  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 15 years
  • 14.2 hands
  • Will take a range of riders
  • Loves to jump
  • As straightforward as you’ll find

So proud to introduce this chap , quite simply none other than a total needle in a haystack find - 14.2HH, 15yo, cob gelding … meet ‘Tizer’!

Same hole for 14 years , full history known and never a day sick or sorry!

Easy to do everything with on the ground. Stands rock solid to be clipped , bathed , farrier etc! Perfect to catch, he comes to call and is first at the gate. Turns out alone or in mixed herds etc , he’s really very easy. Perfect to load and travel, live in or out … there’s so much I could say about him! If I was being over critical I’d say he’s grumpy in the stable. Nothing major , just face pulling , out of the stable - totally different horse

Tizer has done everything from teaching novices to collecting ribbons. Hunted , shown , dressage , plenty of show jumping and hunter trials, field mastered for four years, hunt scurried , fun rides , beach rides , lead horse for breakers , plenty of hacking mileage, riding club, lessons , clinics …… I’m sure you get the idea, you name it, he will have done it.

Snaffle mouthed in the arena at home. Leg in each corner type. Would take novices , used him here to give lesson on to children. He can be ridden around like he should be in a riding school. Equally, you can stick your leg on and pull him together to get a lovely piece of work from him. He very much adapts to the rider.

Tizer loves his jumping!! Bold and brave and never says no. Happy to trot around the cross pole class or go and jump the meter. He’s had ribbons from 50cm to 110cm - a point and kick kind of chap

Cross country , hunting, funrides etc he absolutely loves!! Can be more forward outside of the arena however still the same sane and kind lad, just requires a bit change. well hunted , field mastered for four seasons. Would be happy to take a newbie out and of course jumps anything you ask of him

I can’t sing his praises loud enough out hacking! It’s thanks to him that my very sharp show jumper has now started to hack out with Tizer as his lead. I will forever be in debt to him for this. Outstanding in the heaviest of traffic , infront of behind , stands solidly to mount. You won’t find a fault with him. Come and see for yourself and ride him up the 60mph main road , don’t take my word for it. You could ride this horse up the M4!

Participates in all riding club activities as well as camps , clinics etc with different riders over the years. He’s a bit of a local legend and well loved and known by many. Extremely sad sale for previous owner and I have promised I will only sell him to the best of homes where old owner can have contact details and first refusal on him back should new owner circumstances ever change.

That’s enough of me rambling , come and let him do the talking. In a nut shell , he can be a dope on the top happy hack or an all attempts go pony clubers ride , family man, and everything in between - I can’t think of a job he won’t do.

A perfect weight carrying husbands hack for hacking and even hunting, and would teach them more if required too!

Eventing- hunting- showing- showjumping- dressage- police horse and more. A true family horse.

He has been well hunted and has lovely manners and is a super ride to hunt. Brilliant to hack and goes alone or in company.

Competed BS to Newcomers this year with just the odd pole, and taken amateur around discovery's recently with clears / odd pole.


Has competed in BE100 with good form and this year competed this year in two BE90s this month gaining
3rd- launceston BE90
8th- howick BE90
Both double clears with 33dr.

No sarcoids or obvious lumps/ bumps.

Please no timewasters.

Currently on livery where she is living in a mixed herd. Treacle has never had laminitis and is a good doer.

I am looking for a five star home only, someone that wants a pony to have fun on and enjoy.

She is super friendly and loves everyone. As she is still young, a knowledgeable home is a must.

Classy 2017 blue and white Irish gelding standing at a full up 15hh, he’s a beautiful model and a lovely stamp.

This lovely little horse is an out and out confidence giver, he jumps for fun and is such an easy ride. He has three comfortable paces on the flat, balanced and correct, and would do a nice test. He jumps just about anything and isn’t bothered if it’s rustic or colourful, he is well hunted and knows this job inside out, a total professional over a ditch, with that being said he’s a lovely lad and would gladly hack out and enjoy the countryside with someone nervous.

He is so reliable hacking and will happily go out on his own or with others, isn’t looky or spooky and will take on any traffic, a real mannerly little horse, a head turner and a kind character to have around.

Hard to find, safe allrounder and a nice enough stamp to go showing.

This flawless boy is open to any vet or trainer.

The perfect confidence giving cob, this brilliant chap stands at a full up 14.2, chaps registered coloured gelding born in 2009. He’s not a dressage superstar, however he is an absolute armchair and so safe.

He’s done most things, generally just been a fun cob. By far the best hack in the yard and he will take on the biggest, heaviest and scariest traffic, if you’re looking for a pure hacker this lad will do the job.

He’s the same when solo and in company. He’s a kind horse on the ground, easy to have around and mannerly. Three comfortable paces on the flat and a very safe and confidence giving ride. Has a great pop in him and enjoys his jumping, wants to get it right and give you a good time. He will tolerate the nervous/ anxious riders and teach someone the ropes too.

A real kind cob and a solid best friend. Open to any vet or trainer.

He’s brilliant over a fence, makes a lovely shape and will go off any stride / trot or canter. 10/10 to hack out, again rides a lot older and wants to please, he will do everything on the buckle and has a great attitude.

  • Ready to produce
  • Recently passed 5 stage vetting

Holly is the perfect allrounder for someone to start putting their stamp on and a real yard favourite. We have had Holly for a few months and brought her on slowly and correctly. I feel she is now ready to go out and see the world and start her competitive career.

We have done a bit of everything with her and she is a very willing mare showing a lot of potential. She is working beautifully in the school through all gaits, is naturally balanced and keeps a nice rhythm. She is jumping around a course of fences and has seen many combinations and fillers. She has masses of scope, loves jumping and is extremely brave. Holly is an absolute XC machine and will make someone a cracking hunter for the upcoming season. Jumps hedges ditches, gates, banks, rails etc.

She has been to a couple of training shows and has done farm rides, one of them being with my 12 year old son. Holly is an absolute star to hack out alone and in company. She has seen all types of traffic with us.

Holly is excellent to catch, turnout, groom, bath, stable and a lovely affectionate girl to have on the yard. She happily turns out alone or in company.

I feel there are so many disciplines this mare could do. British Eventing, BSJA, BD etc. She would also make an amazing Pony Club horse for a teenager.

Holly is obviously a young green horse who is now ready to further her education. She is a responsive forward thinking competitive type Mare who needs a competent and confident rider to carry on her education she would not be suitable for a novice or nervous rider.

She is a real star of the future and we would love to keep in touch

Please note Holly has recently flown through a vetting, she passed everything however she has a tiny sarcoid (like 1/3 the size of a 1 pence piece) so the people decided they didn’t want her. The sarcoid has been there since she was a yearling and has never changed! I have the full vetting which I’m happy to share. Also a photo of the sarcoid.

13.3/14hh 4 year old blue roan gelding.
Recently broken and taken to his new ridden life extremely well.

He has been hacking out in company, front or behind and proven to be a very brave boy. He is good in traffic but does need more work with motorcycles and cyclists but is getting better.

He's been ridden a handful of times in the school, just simple walk trot and canter.

He has been out to a pole work clinic in company of other horses and a very busy showing show, both times he behaved impeccably.

He's good to load, travel, bath, groom, tack up, mount and dismount, catch.

Please don't message me asking if he's currently suitable for kids or novices, he has only been broken a few weeks and there's no way joy riders are coming to ruin my pony, serious interest only, and experienced people only please. He has been started correctly and with more education and time he will make a wonderful kids pony.

Jack is a striking, well mannered, genuine 12 year old Welsh section C gelding.

Jack is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard. Good for farrier, load, clip ect.

Jack has spent the first half of his life competing in in hand showing. However, has a small bursar in his knee, hence the price, which has check by vets and is benign.

Since Jack has been with us he has done a bit of everything. He has been xc schooling, showjumping, hacking alone and in company and has been amazing.

Jack would suit a family home that is going to give him lots of love and attention. He is an absolute sweetheart and just wants to please.

He is absolutely impeccably behaved on the ground and under saddle. He truly doesn’t have a bad bone in his body and is definitely more woah than go.
