For Sale on behalf of client - Lightening, 14.1 13 years gelding. CHAPS REG

A good sturdy pony! Tall, wide and like an armchair, rides bigger than he measures.

A true happy hacker, loves hacking and anything rural!

Mostly unflappable! Not so keen on rattly trailers but otherwise sound on the roads (manageable with rattly trailers)

He doesn’t enjoy flat work will tolerate it to warm up for jumping but the odd time in the school will grind to a halt, you can get going but can tell he’d rather not trot pretty circles although he’s super well schooled!

Loves jumping, great with canter poles, good corners and really pricks his ears for jumping especially rustic and out in fields! Cob with character ??

Needs to be around people who are experienced to remind him of his manners the odd time and knows the boundaries, he can sometimes forget!

Very laid back in the field
Has had legs clipped in the past but never had body clipped.
Bare foot
Good on the trailer
Full wardrobe available
Clean vet history and up to date with everything

She is excellent in traffic and is completely unfazed by extremely busy fast moving traffic including, double decker buses, articulated lorries, motorcycles, push bikes, prams, dogs, large farm machinery, she is not clingy with other horses, and will ride away from the herd without a second thought.

Ebony is excellent with the farrier (currently barefoot) equally happy to be shod, great to catch, load, travel, dentist and has no vices in the stable or field. She is happy to live in or out and is equally settled in a herd or on her own. She is currently turned out at night and stabled during the day but would adapt easily to full turnout or full stabling.

Spot is a lovely compact model, with 3 smart paces and is sure to turn heads. He is a really comfortable sit on and works nicely in an outline.

He has a solid basic understanding, is confidently walk, trot and cantering and jumping a small course. He has had his first outing cross country schooling where he was a star, jumping logs, ditches, steps and water and proved to be sensible in an open space. He has also been for a hack round the village where he met cars, bikes, lawnmowers and a bus and he was not phased.

He loves being groomed and having a fuss. Good to catch and likes being around people.

Super prospect for the future, with a great starting foundation. He is still green as was only started in the winter so needs someone who can continue his education and show him the ropes. Suited to a small adult or a teenager- I am 5’6 in videos.

Only for sale due to a change in citcumstances. Lots more videos etc available to genuine prospective buyers.

Quality gypsy cob mare

£10,000 ONO
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Forward going, sensible hack
  • Owned and bred by us, so full knowledge
  • Equal Woah and Go

We have bred and owned Mulligan all her life. She has always been super easy to do, so much so, she’s always the one who gets left, and not ridden. Whilst I find her super easy, and if anything, like it when she’s not been ridden for a month and is a little fresh, we have had a few try her and found her too forward for them.
There is no need to kick on this mare, leg on means go. She march’s in walk and trots out, keeping up with any horse. She loves a canter across the fields and tracks, but pulls up easy in a snaffle.
Personally I find circles in an arena boring, so we do not do it. If you want a dressage horse, you will need to put the work in, as our idea of fun is hacking. However she has been to dressage and show jump shows with a friend many years ago, so the buttons will still be there, it’s up to you if you want them, and if so you might need to re program.
Her forte is hacking, heavy traffic is no issue, she’s safe in open spaces, she goes first or last.
You can ride and lead her, or from her, so super easy.
She is a unit, i’m 5ft6 and she takes up my leg, and some
She is only for sale as I’ve bred myself a taller version and if she gets ridden once a fortnight she’s done well
She needs her own person, but of you are coming from a riding school, are used to kicking every stride, or are hoping for a mother daughter share for your ten year old, she is unlikely to be for you.
She is kind, super fun and gives you a great fun ride.

Ronnie is a 13hh traditional cob who is willing to please and will try his best for any jockey that sits on him. From a tiny tot to a small adult. He is a great confidence giver and would suit a riding school or RDA. Sadly for sale as his rider has out grown his ability. He is for sale to the best of homes only as he is a diamond pony. We have owned him since a yearling and he’s had learnt everything he knows with us. So his full history is known.

He is up to date with vaccines, feet and teeth. And good to do in all ways, loading etc.

He has been out to many shows and clinics never putting a foot wrong. Even done a fancy dress classes with not a bother.

He will pop a course of jumps but can be clumsy if you don’t get at him with your leg. Super safe plod out hacking, will hack alone or in company. Will gallop across fields and not bothered about being left behind.

His ground manners are great but he can be a little bargy at feed times.

Patsy is a 14.1hh, 13 years old cob mare. Patsy is the ultimate all rounder, she has 3 flashy paces and rides well on the flat. She is currently working at preliminary level dressage and working towards novice level.

Patsy is great to hack and can go anywhere in an order, she will go alone or in company and she is well behaved in heavy traffic, she is good with buses, tractors / lorries ect.

Show jumping is where patsy Excels, jumping is patsy s favourite thing to do. Confidently going out at 85/90, she is usually in the ribbons as she is fast against the clock. She would make a child a nice bs pony as big environments don't phase her. At the beginning of the year patsy attended arena eventing which she really enjoyed, I believe she would make an exceptional eventer in the right hands.

Only up for sale as universitie takes up to much of my time, she has been in the same home for 6 years now so we know her inside and out, she is kept barefoot as we have never had any need to put them on. She enjoys farm rides and when we were apart of pony club she took a linking to games. She is the perfect pony club pony. She has done a bit of ridden showing which she enjoyed and she goes well in a pellham with double reins, she is fit and ready to get out and about this season.

Serious enquiry only please, this is a very difficult decision but she needs a job to do and unfortunately I can't give her the time she deserves.

Works well in all 3 paces. Capable of a nice dressage test- I'm not saying she is heading to Grand Prix but for someone to enjoy their local trips out she gives a nice test. Thoroughly enjoys her work, enthusiastic, will offer canter after she’s had her first one, would always need leg to actually back up her offering to go, she wouldn’t just set off. Has popped fences, genuine with this and not spooky, hasn’t done loads but shows a lovely shape.

Hacking
This is what she really enjoys! Hacks alone and in company, great in traffic. Not a spooky type, may have a look around but you can always ask her to walk on by things. Will go first or last and great in open spaces.

On the Ground
Lovely to deal with on the day to day. She is happy to both be stabled and turned out. Has happily lived alone but also been turned out with different horses and ponies.
Good to lead, load, catch, shoe. Good to clip, just needs mild sedation for clipping feathers. Sedation for Dentist.
Phoenix has been out to dressage competitions and previously qualified for Trailblazers Dressage Championships.
Phoenix has been mainly ridden by a teenager (Exams force sale)
Type of Home..
Hacking, dressage, all rounder. Phoenix is looking for a kind rider, she needs firm but fair, too soft she will take the P, try to bully her you would only annoy her. Work with her and she is the most fun! She has fitted tack & rugs available. She is ridden in a smart solution saddle.

Up to Date with Vaccinations, Dentist Farrier,Physio and Worming.

Phoenix has 6 monthly Improvac injections due to being hormonal over 2 years ago. Our Vets have said she wouldn’t always need the Improvac and when she is settled in to a routine could be stopped.
Phoenix could be shown as a Native Cob/Fun Showing classes as she’s a very pretty mare!

Fun pony who's done a little of everything. Would suit a confidant child in an experienced home as she is a smart pony and will quickly work out what she can and can't do.
We've had Nellie for 4 years, only selling as hopelessly outgrown. Stabled at a riding school where she has enjoyed a varied life. She has taught many children to ride. She has taken my daughter from beginner to now loving having a gallop in the field! She loves her hacking, hacks alone and with others not spooky or silly. Currently turned out in a little mixed herd with no issues.

She enjoys going out competing and regularly places however she is forward and needs a confidant jockey to hold her hand. Loads like a dream with her friends, but takes her time if loading alone. Travels like a dream. Up to date with teeth, vacc, worming and is shod on fronts but could go bare foot as has great feet. Never sick or sorry and never kicked reared or anything dangerous.
Looking for an experienced home and a confidant jockey to have a busy and varied work. She has done PC camp, pony mornings at the riding school and rallies. Has done some XC but not my daughter's favourite area so mostly SJ. Went hunting in previous home. Not suitable as a 1st pony or complete novice. Home is very important for this genuine fun little mare. Loads of videos and photos. Comes with full wardrobe of leather quality tack and multiple rugs, travel boots and numnahs. No time wasters please already very difficult to let her go.

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Walter - 14.3hh, 7 Years, Gelding. Stunning Coloured Dun Cob. Massive Weight Carrier

Safe Confidence Giver
Ideal First Horse / Nervous Rider / RDA
Fantastic All-Rounder / Happy Hacker / Schoolmaster Type

Walter is a kind, well-mannered and exceptionally genuine cob with a fantastic temperament and a wealth of experience. He is the definition of safe, steady and sensible, making him the ideal confidence giver for nervous, novice or less experienced riders, whilst still being enjoyable and responsive enough for a more capable rider wanting to progress and have fun.

Stunning unique coloured cob

Although incredibly calm and forgiving, Walter responds well off the leg and has three excellent paces, he moves beautifully with energy and enthusiasm when asked. He is never spooky, sharp or silly in any way, remaining relaxed and level headed at all times. He is extremely willing and enjoys jumping, happily popping around coloured and rustic fences with a quiet, sensible attitude.

A true snaffle-mouth schoolmaster with no gadgets required.

Walter is currently working in a riding school where he is ridden 3 / 4 days a week by riders of all abilities, from complete beginners on the lead rein, nervous riders and RDA clients through to more experienced jockeys. He takes part in flatwork lessons, private lessons, group sessions, low-level jumping and dressage classes, always proving himself genuine, patient and reliable.

He absolutely loves hacking and is one of the safest horses imaginable out on the roads or in open spaces. He hacks alone or in company and is equally happy at the front, middle or back of the ride. He never pulls, rushes, naps or becomes strong and remains calm and collected in even the busiest environments.

Walter is completely unfazed by extremely heavy traffic including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors, trailers and farm machinery. Nothing bothers him. He is equally mannerly and sensible across open fields and will happily canter in company without getting strong or excitable, even on the way home.

On the ground, Walter has impeccable manners and is an absolute pleasure to handle. He will happily stand for hours being groomed without even needing a headcollar on. He has no vices whatsoever in the stable, field or when ridden and is safe and easy for anyone to handle.

He lives out happily in a mixed herd but is equally content stabled. He keeps himself to himself and never causes any trouble. He is excellent to catch, load, clip, shoe, bath and for the farrier, dentist and vet. Currently barefoot with excellent feet.

Walter would happily turn his hoof to hunting, fun rides, beach rides, riding club activities, low-level eventing or showjumping. He is the sort that gives his rider complete confidence whatever the activity. In his previous home has did low level competitions and Pony club.

He does not need riding every day and can happily have weeks / months off work then be tacked up and ridden away without fuss. He is extremely low-maintenance and straightforward to keep.

He has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any lameness issues. No lumps, bumps or blemishes.

He passes annual riding school licence inspections, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

A genuinely heartbreaking sale of a much-loved horse, only available as we are reducing numbers due to the riding school becoming extremely quiet.

Five-star private home only for this outstanding gelding.

We have several other horses and ponies available as we continue to reduce numbers. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Maggie is our little superstar. She has taken my 9 year old from a first time rider to a confident 12 year old competitor. We have owned Maggie for over 3 years and she has done just about everything.

My daughter has now sadly outgrown her and so we are looking for a confident little jockey to continue her ridden work. 2025 was a very successful year for Maggie therefore we feel she is more suited to a competent child as a second pony

Just some of her achievements:

Kelsall Hill unaffiliated Show Jumping championships, won the league out of 12 shows in 40cm and 50cm
Higherfarm Working Hunter league winner
1st in the Great Ecclestone county show working hunter 2025
2nd in the Royal Cheshire Show working hunter 2025
2nd in Arena UK BSPS winter championships workers class 2025
Been to countless shows and even stay away shows.

She can be viewed at our private yard near Sandbach, Cheshire
