Lovely Smart Cob


Ref #: 376656
  • Great Family Type
  • Pleasure to Ride
  • Superb Friendly Temperament
£14,500
  • Irish
  • Skewbald
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • Great Family Type
  • Pleasure to Ride
  • Superb Friendly Temperament

Great family or RS type as he is up to weight but still active enough to go on and compete and could be used by several members of the family. Apollo has had a very good home in Ireland and he has nice flat work and he has been to some little Dressage shows and he is also a very good jumper.

He has been to some unregistered jumping shows and he has also done some XC schooling days proving to be easy and brave and will go in and out of water, jump logs, rails, ditches etc. He is calm and sensible out in big open spaces and does not get strong or hot-headed.

This chap is fantastic to hack out and will happily go alone or in a group, and he is not fazed by the heaviest of road or farm traffic. Despite his age Apollo is the one that we regularly use as escort and babysitter for the less confident horses!

Apollo really loves attention and is happy to stand and be pampered and groomed for hours. He is excellent to turn out with other horses and can be caught easily, he will lead in quietly and tie up anywhere that suits you! He is also very good to load in both a lorry or trailer, sensible with the farrier and is very quiet to clip!

A really super old fashioned type that has a great personality - always happy to do his best and is only looking to please and to be loved.


Stunning Registered Welsh D - Goldenrina Firefly


Ref #: 377338

  • A real head-turner

  • By Thorneyside The Real McCoy
  • A real head-turner
  • Would make a fantastic all-rounder/riding club horse or mother/daughter share

I have been lucky enough to own Bea for nearly 5 years now and we have had the best fun together! She loves all activities, we’ve done fun rides, hacking (solo and in company) flat and jumping clinics, dressage, showing and camps. She is always in the ribbons. She has a fabulous jump on her as you can see from the photos and will pop round a course of 50-80cm with gusto at a clinic or at home but is less enthusiastic in a competitive arena. This might be something that could change over time, I have only taken her SJ 4-5 times. She works nicely in the school and we can currently be found on the Quest leaderboard for Intro and Prelim, where she consistently scores in the mid to high 60’s.

Bea is a typical Welsh, with bags of sass and super-expressive, you will never be in any doubt where you stand with her! She has lovely manners and is very easy to manage. She can be a bit sharp occasionally when ridden, however, and for this reason would not be suitable for a novice or child. She has never ever frightened me the whole time I have had her, she will keep you safe, providing you ride quietly and confidently. Bea is 100% in traffic, stands quietly to be shod, clipped and bathed.

She is up to date with the chiro/physio/vacc/teeth and is open to vetting. She loads and travels beautifully in a lorry or trailer and will stand quietly on the box at an event. I go out on my own with her a lot and she’s very easy to travel, tack up and mount. She is currently fit and ready to go for a summer of fun.

Bea would make an ideal mother/daughter share, riding club horse or would suit a confident teen. I have made the very difficult decision to sell her as I desperately want to do more jumping; I am of an age where I may not have too many jumping years left in me and am keen to make the most of them! Bea is at livery just outside Bicester where she can be viewed and ridden. Please note that I will be vetting potential buyers as much as you will be vetting Bea, so be prepared! She is a special girl and the right home is paramount.

My favourite boy!!! One you look forward to riding.

I want to find him the best home! This boy needs to go to someone who wants to have the quality and jump a warmblood can bring in a TB body.

He’s ROR eligible and would just be the most amazing eventer / showjumping prospect. Been to a few arena hires now and also been to an arena eventing. Nothing puts this lad off. He will always get you from A to B he’s so genuine and honest.

Always such a pleasure to work with and has a heart of a lion.

Fantastic Allrounder - 15hh, 9-Year-Old Stunning Cob X Gelding

Benson — an absolute stunner with a beautifully balanced conformation and a kind, genuine nature. He’s a super smart, eye-catching horse both inside and out, a versatile partner for a variety of pursuits.

Benson is a fun, honest, and sensible allrounder who truly loves to work. Not a kick-along plod, but forward-thinking and eager to please, he’s currently excelling in Pony Club activities and clinics alongside a relatively inexperienced 14-year-old rider giving her endless confidence and big smiles . His willing attitude and good temperament make him ideal for a rider looking to develop confidence and skill.

Absolutely fantastic jump, effortlessly popping around XC tracks at 90cm and happily skipping over 1m showjumping courses — with plenty of scope for more. He’s honest, reliable, and straightforward to ride in a snaffle, whether in the school or out hacking in open spaces always in a snaffle.

Benson has competed in unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, hunter trials, pony days, and camps. He has also worked in a riding school environment. While he’s a sturdy, sweet-natured type with athletic ability, he may be better suited to a slightly more experienced rider rather than a complete novice from the riding school as he works off the leg and has more engine than a true beginner would want, although he never does any thing nasty in any way.

He’s a pleasure to hack — unfazed by farm machinery, traffic, barking dogs, not spooky . No vices, and he’s up to date with vaccines and dentist.

Price: £8,500


Very sad sale of my beloved boy

  • Very talented
  • Good fun and easy to have around.

  • Thoroughbred
  • Bay
  • Gelding

  • Very talented
  • Good fun and easy to have around.

Meet Bond - The time has come to find my Bond his new forever home. Bond has such a lovely kind temperament and is just a really lovely horse to have around.

Bond is currently out of work due to Joe fault of his own. When in full work he work’s beautifully and gives his rider a nice feeling. He’s mostly just hacked in his time with me, hacks alone and in company, good with traffic. Hasn’t done any jumping with me other than the odd log out hacking. He started coming back into work at the start of the year but due to his rider having a non horse related injury his work stopped. I’ve started longreining him out and done some lunging but I’m too heavy to ride him (14stone). He likes a nice lightweight rider.

Injury and vice free, up to date with all his vaccinations, teeth and feet. He has a couple of small flat sarcoids, one on his face and stifle, these have never grown and I’m treating them with a natural healing balm which had great results with my other horse. Good to load and travel, you’d forget he’s even in the box.

Petersfield based. Please no timewasters, no loans/plans, tack and rugs not included. He’s a bargain for how talented he is!

This is a very hard sale so please no timewasters or people looking for a chat. He will only go to the best home and I won’t sell him unseen. Serious inquiries only.

Forever home, no dealers. References required.

Picture from last summer, I will get some updated ones but he looks just as well now.

Tilly is a really super type and will make a lovely allrounder. Tilly has come over from Ireland having done lots of hacking, fun rides and lightly hunted. Did a few days hunting at the end of this season and was well behaved.

Working away sweetly in arena and picking things up quickly, she has naturally balanced paces and a lovely comfortable canter. Been to arena hires and is good to take out and about. Jumping a course of fences and not bothered about fillers/water trays. She has tons of jump and will be very capable once the finer details are finessed. XC schooled and popped away no problem she’s very honest to a fence.

Hacks alone and in company, good in traffic and in open spaces.

Good to get on and off. Super sweet temperament she really enjoys a fuss and a groom. Tiny but wary until she gets to know you but really nothing difficult! Would suit a variety of riders she’s a really lovely mare for someone to carry on producing.

Good to catch, load, wash off, clip. Super type that will mature into a horse that you really do not see anymore.

The best girl ZAFFRON! Registered name - Gringo's Clover (Lines back to Clover Hill)

16.2/3 approx, 5yo mare.

Imported from Ireland last year as 'just backed' and has spent the majority of her time on English soil hacking so far with her owner (she has been based at A.E Equestrian since she arrived).

From day 1 she has been really amicable, trainable and willing. She is a real 'leg in each corner' yet athletic type, with FUN stamped all over her.

Her flatwork is basic but nice, she pops a fence and really enjoyed the handful of XC/ farm ride outings she has been on - this would be where she excels.

She would be an ideal hunter/ RC/ PC/ all-round type. We think she would be great for a tall teenager looking to move onto a horse as, although she is big, she doesn't ride big and is lovely to have about. She is certainly a horse whereby the rider and horse could grow together.

She is not without sparkle and could do any job really at amateur level.

The trot is not big, and the paces are not 'wow', but Zaffron has heart and character to put a smile on her next humans face. The type that you learn the ropes together and the next minute you are at Badminton Grassroots.

We think alot of this mare.

For sale on behalf of her owner (personal circumstances).and is open to any vetting or trainer. Videos available at A.E Equestrian facebook page.
