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

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.

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

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.
