Kalypso – 5-year-old 14.2hh Palomino Connemara type Mare. Bred in Ireland.

Kind, safe and sensible mare looking for a knowledgeable home to continue her education. Professionally produced, slowly and correctly.

She is a gentle, patient and friendly type and with a real ‘old fashioned’ sensible temperament – making her a pleasure to have on the yard.

She is currently hunting with the Hamilton Bloodhounds, where she’s showing herself to be bold, brave and reliable across country. She’s also  jumping confidently around 80cm and works beautifully on the flat, with rhythm and balance well beyond her years. Unfazed by anything going on around her or asked of her.

Kalypso has a laid-back, genuine nature and has coped beautifully with beginners riding her. She enjoys her work, learns quickly, and takes new experiences in her stride.

She would be ideal for a competent teen or small adult wanting a talented all-rounder to produce further within a kind, experienced home.

This is a genuine, quality young mare with a bright future ahead — she’d excel in Pony Club, Riding Club or as a family all-rounder.

Lovely to handle, catch, box, shoe, clip and travel. Great in traffic, alone or in company – will go first or last.

Dartans Sapphire - 6 years old dark bay mare. Beautiful head with white socks. Sapphire has the most wonderful temperament and is ridden by myself (small adult lady) and my 11 year old daughter, friends children making her an ideal mother / child share.

She has done fun rides, hunt rides, hunted with the North Kilkenny Foxhounds in both the children and regular meets all winter. Hunted with my self, friends and my children proving super safe, obedient, brave over the country, never strong and stood with hounds.

She has done pony club hunter trials and schooled over a variety of cross country courses. We do a lot of hacking in the woods which she always gives a lovely ride.

Sapphire would make a lovely all rounder pony to do all activities in pony club and riding club. She would also make a nice small show cob.

She is currently hunting and competing in training shows and show jumping at 80 cm level.

I bought sapphire to bring on in August and produce for the winter. She really has been a pleasure and is ready to give her new best friend lots of fun.

  • Lovely quiet Hunter
  • Fantastic temperament
  • Breeding recorded and HWSD N/N

Stunning pure bred Connemara with full Connemara book and HWSD N/N.

Pablo is a super little horse, has lovely flowing paces and working consistently in an outline. He is not sharp, snaffle mouthed, he has been a real confidence giver to me getting back into riding after a break.

I have even regularly hunted him this season and he is a star not strong, happy to stand very polite and straight forward. Excellent to load and travel even on my own after hunting. He has been showing in Ireland for education and was placed. Pablo has been very honest with his jumping and really enjoys it.

We have taken him to arena cross country where he was again very sensible with his surroundings and jumped everything he was asked including ditches and going straight into the water.

Pablo is very well mannered, level headed and loving, good to box, shoe and catch.

He has been hacked out alone and in company and been good with back road traffic seen to date including big tractors.

12.2hh French bred Connie X Dartmoor, 15 years

Gorgeous stamp, sound and no vices. Bred in France and bought by us from a novice home where he showjumped at a low level and hunted; was then produced by my daughter aged 9-11 years to become a versatile and admired competition pony, jumping successfully up to 90cm BS (though best up to 85cm) and becoming a fantastic little event pony.

Numerous successes, to include:
•BS Bronze League Final 2025
•Numerous Stepping Stones DCs
•Qualified for Cats and Pipes 2025
•Qualified Blue Chip for April 2026
•2nd in his first 90cm BS Discovery

A true standout, super handsome pony and a unicorn in temperament.

Blizzard is so easy to do in every way and a delight to have around. He would probably come down for a more novice rider if managed appropriately but would be most suited to a busy and competitive home. He is a forward ride and can do the occasional buck if very fresh but is not spooky or silly. Doesn't nap, rear or stop. Easy at shows.

Ten star home only. Rider reluctantly moving to a bigger pony. Viewings after 15 February and sold with Blue Chip Pony Winter Novice qualification for April. Videos on request.

He has just started competing upto 90cm proving to be one to watch for the future already gaining 1st, 3rd and 4th. I have no doubts this pony will jump foxhunters maybe more. Happily pops bigger fences at home but I’m cautious he is still developing and not to push him.

He has xc schooled in ireland.

Hacks well alone or in company and is totally vice free however maxi is a sensitive competition pony so please no novices I would love to see him produced up the levels and do a job. He needs a quiet but confident jockey.

He is a delight to Have around the yard upto date with feet vaccinations worming etc.

Has been to training shows and behaved beyond his years. Demonstrates scope and ability over a fence. Is green on the flat but progressing all the time.

Has been produced slowly and sympathetically having been purchased as a 3yo and backed by ourselves so full ridden history known. Clean limbed and nicely marked.

Does have a suspected small, flat sarcoid on his chest which does not affect him but price does already reflect this.

No joyriders, or timewasters please.

Can be sold with wardrobe of rugs.

Northamptonshire based, with good trial facilities.
