I bred Kinks for performance whilst still keeping the bone and hair of the traditional cob she comes from very traditional blood there is not many of her out there her width is absolutely outstanding with such a beautiful movement she covers the ground.

She is standing at approximately 14.2 hh has more growing in her She is good as they say “Bomb Proof “ her nature is so kind and she is so easy. She would be the ULTIMATE confidence giver . She hacks anywhere has done some dressage and clinics .

She is in full work as much as I can at the moment. She isn’t a jumper more Dressage and showing mare . Easy to do all ways . She has good clean legs with abundant feather. She will come with a beautiful dressage saddle it wasn’t cheap .she is very trainable and is schooling beautiful. She is quality her breeding excels her, most importantly her kind easy nature .

I have done everything with this mare and is in the stable she was born in . Please contact me only if genuinely interested no loans no trials no pay instalments .

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.

Brilliant 13.1hh mare

If anyone is looking for a cracking 2nd pony look no further than Bess .

Bess turning 15 this year.

Brilliant in Traffic we are next to an industrial estate and often has to give leads
She hack alone or in company
Great in open fields .
Use to all farm traffic

Turns out with mares or geldings.

She works well in the school and moves very well - she rides bigger than what she is with a great stride.

She will happily pop around but she has not done a huge amount of jumping but with work has the ability there.

My parents brought Bess last year for my sisters children but unfortunately the interest is not there and she can go weeks without been ridden . She is currently being ridden by my daughter but she has two horses and we don’t have any smaller jockey’s .

We have taken Bess to pony club rallies in the Rain and snow she loads in the dark travels well on her own or in company. She’s done the pony club children meet on the lead rein .

Great for the children to do the sort you can tie up and leave them to do . Fantastic to clip !!

She’s bare foot - fab for the farrier with great feet . She’s up-to date with her vaccinations.

This pony needs a new best friend as she deserves it .

Please get in touch if you think she may be for you . She is a second pony for someone that wants to have fun . She will come with her tack.

Dot dot the super cob - A seriously fun little cob. The cob that can One of the most versatile cobs around.

13hh built like a tank and takes the leg really well.

She has impeccable manners and is a pleasure to have in all ways on the yard.

She started her ridden career on a dressage yard and has been very well schooled and a forwards and responsive ride.

She is 8 years old and has so much to give

She has a loverly jump on her and isn’t phased by fillers or xc fences or water jumps

She is well used to be handled by children in all ways and is good to do in all way.

Hacks perfectly on her own or in company
She is not a plod but more forwards and egar to work - saying that she never does anything naughty and. My 8 year old has hacks her no problem.

We would love to see her out in the showing or dressage world equally a mother daughter share hacking and pony club but basically would love to see her doing a job and being loved the way she deserves. I know she will excel and any job she’s asked she’s special

Has been out with the hounds and didn’t fizz. And stood like a rock nannying the tots

due to personal health problems.

Frank is looking for his new best friend. He has 3 steady balanced paces, works in an outline and is rhythmical and balanced on the flat.

He is safe in all aspects whether it’s hacking, schooling, on the ground or away from home. He hacks alone or in company and is never silly. He is sensible with the farrier and is good to load. He is up to date with all of his vaccines and with his teeth.

Frank has been on multiple fun rides, to the beach, dressage competitions, he gallops through open spaces alone or in a group and jumps a nice course at home and away from home.

Frank would be perfectly suited to a pony club home or a small adult who wants to have some fun. Yes Frank is safe but he’s not your typical ploddy slow cob, he’s forward going and loves to have a job and is always snaffle mouthed.

The only reason he is up for sale is because I am just too big for him. He comes with a professionally fitted saddle and a bridle. His saddle is brand new.

I’m accepting offers to the perfect home.

Videos available on request.

Lionswood The Duchess

Duchess is 13.3hh currently and is expected to make 14.1hh. She will be 4 at the end of June.

I bought Duchess as a 2 year old for her super temperament. I was told by the breeder she would make 15hh. Unfortunately she won't make that and to say I am gutted is an understatement. I need 15hh minimum as I struggle with a pony stride due to my MS.

For the last 16 months she has been trained using a mixture of natural horsemanship and positive reinforcement. But she does understand the word 'No'.

She is great with the farrier and the vet. She has had her wolf teeth removed and the vet commented on how good she was. She is up to date with teeth, worming and vaccinations.

She loads and travels well.
You can fully clip her, even the tickly bits.
She comes to call.
She lives in a herd of mares but has lived in a mixed herd no problem.

Sh does get sweet itch in the warmer weather but it is only mild and is easily controlled with sweet itch rugs and fly masks of which she has 2 of each and these will go with her to her new home.

Duchess is a completely unspoilt blank canvas ready to start her ridden journey, and maybe her showing career. I am just really sad it won't be with me.

Price negotiable for the right home.

The sweetest and most genuine cob you could wish for! To make someone very happy, a super family cob, happy hacker, would possibly suit riding school. Carrot is a super chap, as wide as he is tall and like riding a comfy small armchair. He loves his hacking alone and in company, hasn’t been at all bothered by any traffic met with us and is very sensible.

He’s not the fastest but not overly bothered if out in company and he gets left behind by his sportier friends! Carrot is working sweetly in the school in all paces and will trot over a little jump, he’s very keen to please, he is still green but obedient to the aids and learning about outlines; he’s naturally very together on the flat , he’s a lovely mover and will with further schooling do a lovely dressage test.

He’s a super model of a traditional cob who moves really well and would do well in show ring (TGCA would be ideal for him) He’s still on the greener side of things but a very simple ride and always tries to please, his brain is wonderful to work with. He has been ridden by a variety of riders with us from confident novice upwards, everyone loves him! He has the most lovely can do attitude and just gets on with whatever you ask of him. With a bit more schooling he will do a very neat dressage test. Whatever he ends up doing he will give a lot of fun.

Carrots lovely temperament continues in and out the stable, he’s excellent to catch, box, clip, bath, feet trim ( barefoot v good feet) and just wants to be your friend.

Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He doesn’t drive yet but would look wonderful in harness and has the right brain to do this job safely.

He has a lot to offer his new owners and we look forward to seeing him make someone really happy.
