Richard & Daisy Trayford have been been producing horses together for over two decades - in the UK & USA(Exmoor Eventing) and in Ireland where we live. We are now assisting international buyers during their search for quality Irish horses.

More & more buyers and sellers are doing business online - having us, based in the centre of Ireland, gives buyers a speedy and cost effective way of getting to a prospect quickly.

We charge a flat fee ie no commission is taken from either the buyer or seller. We simply represent the buyer who may not be able to try the horse themselves due to work/time/travel constraints.
Our clients get a great service from us for a very modest fee - €200 covers us visiting a yard (no extra if we see multiple horses at one location!) - we take extensive video, try the horse(s) and complete a detailed, unbiased report, which is sent to the potential buyer. We can attend a vetting as well if the client choses.

Our mission is to take any perceived risk out of horse shopping online!

Once the client receives satisfactory feedback on a horse or horses they are welcome to either proceed to an offer -we can even do that on their behalf if they prefer -and/or visit the horse themselves.

Daisy Trayford is a well known 4* competitor on the Eventing circuit in the UK, USA and Ireland. She takes pride in sourcing and producing Eventers and has had horses go on to 5* careers in the UK, USA and Ireland - she also coached Madonna for 6 years! Richard has run Eventing Competitions to FEI 4* level in the USA and they have hunted with over 50 hunts together - they even competed in the famous Golden Button race twice! Together, they have helped clients in three continents find great horses.

So, have a look online, or call around and when you find something that you like the sound of, let us know and we can get there right away - if you need help finding candidates we can help with that too!

Happy hunting

Richard & Daisy

  • Ideal candidate for LW show cob next year
  • Super allrounder
  • Genuine boy has a lot to give

We don’t do three year old horses often but when we do it’s because we love them!

Approx 15.1 ID x cob by Purple Lad gelding breeding recorded.

Naturally very quiet gelding, broken and riding away hacking out and very sensible head on young shoulders. Ridden by a young girl. Not a spooky sort and never shown and bucking, rearing napping: carefully produced so far.

Beautiful nature idea for a family, very manageable and kind.

A rare cob to find and suit many disciplines, would make a super show cob.

Open to vet, transport can be arranged

REDUCED!!!!
Motivated seller sadly needs to go due to vet bills

Phoenix is a 2 year old part bred TGCA to make 14.2hands a super example who oozes star appeal and quality. Phoenix has been brought in to start his basics and he is giving the impression he wants a job to do.

Already he has taken long reining and hacking in hand in his stride. He is literally waiting for a rider to hop on next year! We are on a working farm and he is bold and brave with all farm machinery, and animals and is great with other horses.

Phoenix would excel in a competition home. He finds answers to the questions with ease and would say he would be a super candidate for an experienced youngster to help produce alongside an older pony. The show ring is a definite place for this young man!

  • HOYS 148cm NATIVE COLOURED PONY
Priscilla is one of the most consistent native coloured ponies on the circuit, results to numerous to mention, we have owned her for the past 4 years and had the most amazing time, including getting to ride in coloured championship twice at Royal Windsor including on our only trip to the Great Yorkshire being 2nd out of 45 starters and another super championship experience.

Priscilla is truly one in a million not only does she love a show ring ( the bigger the show the better she loves it) she also enjoys x country and going to the gallops, and hacks down a busy road, we only hack in twos for safety reasons but will go in front or behind.

She has also been extremely successful in the junior classes with a 14 year old.

Always qualifying Rihs/Hoys in big classes doesn’t were plugs or need calmers

This is an extremely reluctant sale and only due to personal circumstances so if the best home is not found she will not be leaving us.

She is good to box, shoe,clip etc

£20,000 open to sensible offer to the right home

  • Recently started jumping
  • Perfect Mother/Daughter share!

Out of HOYS placed Highland mare, Dunedin Fenella, by a traditional cob

Honey is a total pleasure to have and ride

Broken last winter as a 4yo and then turned away due to my commitments. She was brought back into work and hacked about through the summer

She has attended 3 shows, two smaller local shows, and then thrown in the deep end at Bucks County show where she behaved impeccably for her age/experience to finish 2nd in a very strong class collecting her RIHS 2024 ticket (she is sold with the ride)

I truly believe Honey has what it takes to go all the way in the show ring, she is top quality with a fabulous temperament

Incredibly bold mare, will hack alone and in company and is absolutely fine in traffic

She schools sweetly, very genuine and loves her work

She is a beautiful mover with fabulous paces- keeps up walking out with our heavyweight hunters!

Has recently started jumping under saddle, proving bold and keen.

Also been ridden by an 11yo girl, and her mother has hacked her out! True Mother/Daughter share

I am sure I will regret this for a long time to come but with youngsters coming up through I need to be sensible

SOLD! Sold in a week !

  • Successfully competed at dressage 75 BD points
  • TGCA registered & shown
Ronnie has great natural ability at dressage and is just starting competing at elementary level after only affiliating last yr he was in top 3 associated champs 2022 .

He has competed in Tgca classes with success but not to his full potential due to lack of Time and I feel he would excel in SEIB search for a star series , having an abundance of bone, feather full mane and tail and beautiful movement he will go far

Fully clipped , fit and ready to take someone to the top in any sphere. Equally Ron is brillant in the heaviest traffic and super safe in open spaces, and on the beach so would be a great happy hacker / small adult child share.

Good to load, clip shoe fully jabbed full wardrobe, show saddle &bridle included and FCS made to measure dressage saddle at separate neg.

No time wasters please genuine sad sale as after many years of riding I’ve decided it time to hang up my riding boots and retire.

Outstanding coloured stallion

  • Very very easy to do.

‘Gangster’ needs no introduction when it comes to the show ring.

Hardly been out of the top line up for the last 2 seasons inc placings at hoys, greet Yorkshire, winner at the new forest show.

When he graded for chaps he passed with highest marks of the day and extremely high marks from bspa.

He rides very light and uphill.

Don’t he put off he’s a stallion, he’s very easy to do and is amazing to handle in and out the stable.

Has done a lot of driving in the past with his owner.

I can’t speak highly enough of this cob.

Only for sale due to personal circumstances and will be very sadly missed on the yard.

I feel whoever buys him will have the best days to come from him
