Stand out from the crowd


Spyvalley Momoa, 5yr old 14.2 wpb gelding.
Mo is a true star in the making!
After a hugely successful 3yr old season inhand Mo was broken by ourselves and has continued his winning ways ever since. (I think he’s won every ridden class he’s done?) with many wins and championships. Mo is straight, correct, impressive and eye catching.
He is anybody’s ride, and although a solid powerful cob he gives a beautiful light and responsive ride. 100% to do in all ways, absolute pleasure to take out, stands on the lorry all day. He’s competed sj and working hunter and is a real fun all rounder with the looks for the show ring!
He’s up and ready to start the qualifiers. open to vet.
He is easy to do in all ways, a pleasure to have and take out. Same home since a yearling so a special home is sought for this special boy.

  • Same home for 11 years, only shown in hand a few times and judges love him,
I have owned Higgins since he was 2 years old, he is a very sweet little pony that is wasted in my field as no jockey and we no longer go showing.

Shown in hand by my granddaughter a few years ago, judges love him. Lots of reds and sashes.

Would make a really good lead rein pony. He walks and trots on demand.

He loads and travels great and very well behaved at shows.

Lots of flowing mane and very thick tail, lots of bone, really sweet little head and an amazing long moustache in the winter.

He is not schooled as only had tiny children on him and he has mainly just been a pet.

Very straight mover, no dishing.

Lives out in mixed herds, but been stabled at an away show and loved it.

Lots of pics available.

Good with farrier, vet etc

Only vice is he is sensitive about you touching his moustache, so needs confident person to put the bridle on.

  • 5 years
  • 15.3 hands
  • Fantastic temperament
  • Very correct paces
  • Great confirmation
Don't know why this fabulous young horse hasn't sold. Due to owner's circumstances, needs to find a lovely new home ASAP

Storm is a beautiful 5-year-old skewbald mare standing at 15.3hh, currently with us on behalf of her owner to find her forever home.

She has a fantastic temperament and three correct, naturally uphill paces. She works willingly in the school with a forward, balanced way of going and shows a great attitude towards everything she is asked to do.

Storm has proven to be safe, sensible, and straightforward. She hacks confidently both alone and in company without any issues and takes everything in her stride.

She has recently started her basic pole work and is happily trotting poles and popping a small fence, showing a willing and uncomplicated approach.

Storm would suit someone looking for a fun and genuine all-rounder, whether that’s enjoying hacking and pleasure rides or progressing into the competition scene. She has the quality and movement to excel in pure dressage or showing.

A lovely young mare with plenty of potential and a very bright future ahead of her now ready to crack on and for someone to make her their own.

Good to Shoe, Clip, catch load and travel.

  • Has shown very successfully as a youngster
  • Well mannered and quiet to handle
  • Looking for his forever home

Traditional mini cob 4 year old gelding. Currently standing at 12.1hh.

I rescued him and his mum when he was only days old, I am in absolutely no rush and he will only be sold when I find him his forever home and his best friend for life, homes will be vetted.

He was very successfully shown as a foal and a yearling with myself and is the most incredible stamp of a cob and a true showman! Every time we went out the comments from the judges would blow me away. He really is one in a million. He always brings home rosettes and sashes. I also had him out once last year as a 3 year old and he won a very strong youngstock class with more fabulous comments from the judge. However with all the will in the world, showing just isn’t me, I enjoyed what we did together but he was born to be in the ring and sadly I wasn’t and my heart just isn’t in it.

He was professionally started by myself last summer and lunges and long reins beautifully, he stands quietly at the mounting block and he has been leant over and sat on a couple of times with no fuss at all. But sadly I have taken him as far as I can as I am 5ft9 and am just too big for him. I was desperately hoping that he would make a bigger height and as much as he still has some growing and filling out still left to do, he will not make the height for me to finish breaking him.

It will break my heart to let him go but he has just become a pet and a companion and it seems such a shame for him because I know he would love to have a job and he would give his absolute all to whatever was asked of him and would excel in any job. If the right person doesn’t come along he will stay with me for the rest of his days, but I am just seeing if that person is out there waiting to find him.

He is very easy going, wants to be everyone’s friend, loves a fuss. Good to handle in every way, will live in or out, comes to call, leads, ties up, travels well in a trailer and box , good to clip, good to bath, good for the farrier and vet, happily wears rugs and doesn’t destroy them! Has a TGCA passport, microchipped and is fully vaccinated , he is up to date with worming, worm counts, physio, teeth and farrier. I have tons of videos and photos of him.

His mum can be seen.

No dealers, no time wasters, no novices, no loans, no payment plans.
Serious enquiries only.
Forever homes only.
Homes will be vetted.
Messages only as I have terrible phone signal so calls are not easy to hear!

Top quality Traditional gelding

  • Kind and willing
£8,500
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 8 years
  • 14.3 hands (LHC)
  • Good mover and well marked
  • Unshown to date- Fresh face for the ring!
  • Kind and willing

A real solid 146cm, flashy traditional who will hold his own in the county show ring or be a fun all rounder for a competent rider.

Thomas is a lovely cob and is a forward thinking ride, he is not a stuffy kick along cob and as such needs a rider who is used to a turbo cob type.

He was bought by current owner for HOYS / RI classes but owner is not well enough to take him in the ring herself and sadly daughter has lost interest, so he’s been a bit wasted and has just hacked round over the winter.

He’s got great paces and will really flick his toes on the flat, he’s got a lot of power and needs to be given an appropriate job, either showing , possibly dressage with a bit more flat work, doing RC etc.

He also enjoys his jumping and pops small fences happily for a change of activity. He’s the type who thrives on work so someone active who wants to really get stuck in would suit him best.

He was started under saddle late and as such is still a bit green for his age but very willing to learn and is a kind soul.

Thomas enjoys his hacking both alone and in company and is excellent on the road. He will go first or last.

He’s a lovely cob to have on the yard, happy to live in or out, good to catch, bath, clip/trim, shoe and polite in the stable.

  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 6 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Big mover
  • Well bred

Exceptionally well bred 6yr old Welsh section D gelding. Big Mover.

14.3hh.. Was broken late as a 4yr old as needed time to mature. He spent most of last year being a happy hacker before starting his showing career recently where he has gained 1st and 2 x 2nds.

He is still green so needs an experienced rider however he would never do anything to hurt you, he is just a novice that takes reassurance from a kind but firm competent rider.

He is good to shoe, box, can be clipped by myself on my own, good to bath, hack on his own or in company and is good in traffic.

He has a strong cheeky Welsh character which is absolutely adored here and he loves attention.

I could see him thriving with a competent teenager as an allrounder to show, riding club, hunt, but would also excel in WHP classes.

He has done beach rides, has hunted, loves to jump, (although I don’t) snaffled mouthed at all times.

He has splints which are not noticeable with his feathers and don’t affect him in any way.

I have owned him since a yearling and this is a heartbreaking sale only as I feel I am to big on him to do him justice so please no time wasters

Up to date with teeth, back, worming and vaccinations.

He will be available to good home only

This is Lilly, a mare bread by myself (07/05/2023)
Stallion: golden euro
Mare: princess poppy Anne of Ivy grange (aka kooiiee)
If Lilly ends up anything like kooiiee she will be top of her field, and with the right family I think she will blossom into an amazing mare!
She is brought up regularly for grooming and fussing and will happily stand there all day. She’s turned out with my other 2 mares and is very well behaved she doesn’t break through fencing or rip any rugs, she’s also happy to live indoors but she’s kept out (24/7) she has had rugs on however she’s kept nude as she is quite a warm horse.
She’s amazing to catch and is infact the first one to me every time, she’s amazing to lead is respectful of your space and will follow you found everywhere.
She’s good with the farrier, dentist and vet.
She’s okay to load but could do with a little more work (but I am still working on this) she’s been out to few local shows and has always behaved amazingly, stands quietly in line ups even when horses & ponies have been acting silly around her.
She’s been tacked up and walked round and that’s about it, she’s been on hacks as a lead rein while I’ve ridden another horse.
I do honestly believe she will go very far in her education with the right owners.

Her mum (who I still own) has accomplished so much, we have done successful eventing, showjumping, hunter trials, hunting, showing, dressage and driving!
She’s won supreme championships at stay away showing, she’s consistently in the top 3 out showjumping, and has won countless dressage championships, and is a weapon out on the cross country field.
I do however believe Lilly would excel in a showing career!
She will only go to a 5 star home, I do not want her passing around and if ever circumstances changed I would be honoured to have first refusal, I’m only selling her as I don’t have the time, and she’s just not quite made the height I was hoping for.

Daisy - 14.1, 4 year old (2022) cob mare.

Daisy is a sweet little cob that is on the right path to make the most fabulous allrounder. She has been really well started and is a real ‘happy camper’ that’s enjoying her work and learning super quickly.

She’s good to hack alone or in company, good in traffic and is good round the farm machinery here on the yard. Working in all 3 paces in the school, she’d definitely school up and do a lovely dressage test or flick her toes in the show ring. She’s popped a few poles and solid fences for education and is proving to have a super jump on her, she’s taking it all in her stride and is a brave sort. Happily works away in the field too.

A nice active little cob that doesn’t need kicking along but isn’t turbo charged either, she’s a nice in between.

Easy to do day to day. Good to clip/catch/load/bath/tack up etc.
