  • Duke is a 10 year old silver dapple traditional mini cob stallion
  • This boy would easily fly through TGCA / chaps gradings
  • 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

  • Irish
  • Black
  • Mare
  • 11 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Perfect first/second pony
  • As bombproof as they come
  • Easy to handle in every way

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.

For more details please WhatsApp me on 07510665400! Calls won’t come through due to bad signal on the farm!

Our Beautiful Merlin is looking for a new home

13.1 cob gelding
7 years old

He is loved and cared for by my 12 year old daughter, he is good to catch,bath, clip, groom, load, farrier ect. Kids do absolutely everything with him.

He was backed late at 5/6 years old and has been produced beautifully, easy off the leg. Ridden in a snaffle always. He has been hacked on the busiest roads, cantered in open fields by my novice daughter. We have taken him to arena hires, local shows and done lots of hacking.

Merlin has the most beautiful movement and the prettiest head I’ve ever seen. He has been out to local shows in-hand/ridden and always bringing home red rosettes.

He’s been the best confidence giving pony for my daughter who’s sadly very quickly outgrown him.

Merlin is still young and gaining experience, and green in some areas, he is not a rocking horse, he is forward, fun and can try it on with novice riders.


Based West Midlands, serious enquires only.

He will only go to the best of homes, he comes with his full extensive wardrobe. 100’s of photos and videos available

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home


Ref #: 403610
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus
  • 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.

Trigger
14.1 6yr gelding

A super cool guy! Trigger has been in his current home 2 years and been an absolute best friend, unfortunately he just isn't big enough so a very sad sale, but in his best interests so he can get out and about and have tonnes of fun with someone!

Fun and forward thinking but sane and sensible! Will have a go at anything asked of him, making him incredibly versatile whether you wanted a genuine best friend for fun rides, beach trips and the pub, a fun allrounder for RC/PC/hunting or to continue to produce him into something really smart for showing or dressage.

Works sweetly on the flat showing some really lovely pieces of work, he carries himself well naturally and is responsive but not reactive, sharp or shooty.

Sane and sensible in open spaces whether it's for a wander round, a canter (with brakes!) or schooling in the field. Always in a simple comfort snaffle.

He enjoys popping a fence, he's not done lots of this due to his age but he has a great 'have a go' attitude and is tidy over a fence. He's also popped logs when out and about. He'd make a super PC pony.

He hacks alone or in company, good in traffic inc tractors/lorries. Has the odd look at genuinely 'scary' things but he is only 6!
He enjoys going out and about and is interested in life. Has been on a few outings and been a star.
Is used to a farm environment.

Doesn't need riding every day to stay sane! Has been clambered on and ridden in bareback after holidays with absolutely no bother.

He's very mannerly, kind and loving. He loves a kiss!

He's good to catch, lead, load, travel, stands on box patiently, clip, bath. Happy in or out and loves his food!

His only downfall would be that he can be a bit unsure about having his feet picked up. He doesn't try to kick or anything horrid, it's not malicious, he's just a bit of an unbalanced baby still so can get unsure and lean so a quiet hand, and a bit of bribery, works a treat.
He can be a little headshy of fast movements round his head although he's fab for his headcollar, bridle etc, he's just not a fan of having his ears/head bathed and a gentle hand and trimmers when clipping round his head is best.

Home is of top priority for this super chap, someone looking for a long term best friend for lots of fun and adventures!

He's up to date with everything.
Wardrobe available

No loans or trials
He is on sales livery
If no answer please leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Boxmoor Cody not many triple graded stallions come on the market

£8,500

  • Piebald
  • Stallion
  • 6 years
  • 14.1 hands
  • Triple graded stallion and pssm1 negative
  • professionally backed
  • Top class and will go all way in the right hands

Graded with CHAPS / TGCA / BSPA

A very top-class young cob with a huge future ahead of him in the right hands. Cody is broken to ride and established in three balanced paces. He is still green in the school due to lack of time, but has been produced slowly and correctly without being overfaced.

He is easy to ride and has a laid-back attitude — he doesn’t need riding every day and will happily pick up where he left off after time off. Cody is a pleasure to hack, both alone and in company, and genuinely enjoys getting out and about.

He has attended shows with great success and has had a very strong in-hand career, including:
• 1st & Champion at Royal Welsh Smallholding Show
• BSPA Champion Amateur
• Reserve Supreme

He has also attended pole clinics and taken everything in his stride — good for the farrier, catching, travelling, clipping — and stands on the box at shows.

Recently had a winter break and is now JUST coming back into work.

Cody has a fantastic attitude and thrives on having a job to do. He would suit someone who can give him time and continue producing him to his full potential. While he is very well-mannered, he is still a stallion, so requires a kind but confident and experienced handler — not suitable for novices.

He has never covered any mares to date and is PSSM1 clear.

A very sad sale as he has been owned since 6 months old, with full history known.
