14.2hh Daisy

A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine, kind, and experienced 14.2hh mare who truly knows her job. Daisy is the perfect all-rounder and an ideal schoolmistress for someone looking to gain confidence, progress their riding, and enjoy a variety of activities.

Daisy has a lovely temperament both in and out of the stable. She is easy to handle, affectionate, and a pleasure to have on the yard. She is well-mannered and good to catch, shoe, clip, and load.

Safe, sensible, capable, and forgiving, Daisy is a horse that gives her rider confidence. She works beautifully on the flat, is balanced and responsive, and has experience across a range of disciplines. She enjoys her jumping, is honest to a fence, and will happily take a rider around a course with confidence.

One of Daisy’s greatest qualities is her ability to adapt to her rider. She is capable enough to step up for a more experienced rider who wants to enjoy her jumping and make the most of her abilities, yet sensible and genuine enough to step down and look after a less experienced or nervous rider. She is a true confidence-giver who knows when to take care of her rider while still being enjoyable and rewarding for someone wanting to progress.

Daisy hacks alone or in company and is calm and reliable in traffic and open spaces.

She would suit a wide range of riders, from those wanting a confidence-giving partner to anyone looking to enjoy Pony Club, Riding Club activities, lessons, hacking, fun rides, and days out.

This genuine, much-loved mare is looking for her next forever home, where she will continue to be enjoyed, appreciated, and cared for

  • CHAPS / TOYS prospect

Duke is standing at 12.3 and is a 10 year old silver dapple traditional mini cob stallion . He is not stallion like at all, and is very quiet to deal with and will stable next to mares.

Duke is broken to ride and loves to go hacking around the fishery’s and woodland areas. He has never been out the top 2 when shown in hand, and recently won Barley Saturday Stallion Show . Where he then paraded the streets and behaved impeccably .

This boy would easily fly through TGCA / chaps gradings and therefore could compete at chaps/toys where I believe he would do very well.

Tons of feather and bone with a real look at me presence.

He is very easy to have around and is very good to handle, load, clip, bath and for the farrier.

Ponies like this do not come on the market very often

Sweetie is called Sweetie for a reason!

A lovely 12.2hh 2015 Irish Leisure Cob mare, who would make an ideal first or second pony for a young rider.

Sweetie has a kind, genuine nature and is very much a “whoa before go” type, making her particularly suitable for less confident children looking to build their confidence and enjoy their riding. Equally, when partnered with a more determined rider, she is capable of producing some lovely flatwork and always tries her best.

Sweetie has no vices and is easy to handle in all respects. She is good for the vet, farrier, travelling, etc.

The only thing worth mentioning is that she is not keen on having her legs clipped, due to previous mud fever beneath her feathers. However, she is never nasty and can be managed.

A much-loved pony looking for her next little rider to enjoy and cherish her.
