• 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
• A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
• Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar

I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

• Welsh Section D
• Dun
• Gelding
• 5 years
• 14.3 hands

• Menai bred – exceptional head & presence
• 14.3hh, lightly backed & ready to progress in his ridden education
• Up to date with vaccinations, worming, dentist & farrier

Menai Sparkling Sam (known as Draco in the stable) is a striking 5 year old 14.3hh Welsh Cob gelding with true presence and a lovely stamp of the breed.

Lightly backed and now ready to continue his education, Draco offers an exciting opportunity for a knowledgeable rider looking to produce a smart, eye-catching horse and further his education.

He is up to date with vaccinations, worming, dentist and farrier, is good to load and travel, and hacks out alone or in company.

Draco would suit a confident, experienced home to bring out his full potential. He has a kind nature, is full of character, and has a lot to offer in the right hands.

A genuine and difficult decision due to time constraints. Homes will be carefully considered as this is a much-loved horse.

• Connemara Part Bred
• Bay
• Mare
• 5 years
• 15 hands

• She is fantastic to hack and just has a very safe, sane and sensible temperament.
• She’s the definition of happy hacker!

Carriga lady - super loving mare.

Happy hacking, Bay 2021 Irish sports horse mare. (Connie x draft) 15hh / 148cm. 5 year old.

Carrie hacks out alone, perfectly straight into busy traffic and over the moor. She goes straight into water no matter how deep and will pop a ditch. She is fantastic to hack and just has a very safe, sane and sensible temperament. I’ve hacked her past all kinds of farm animals and even straight beside the shooting club while they were shooting and she didn’t event flinch! (Lots of videos from behind the ears). She’s the definition of happy hacker!

In the school she is very green and is still learning where her legs go but she really wants to please and tries. She’s just a bit unsure what you’re asking for and can baby rush into canter. She will need a patient and confident rider to further her schooling as she can rush forward if you get unbalanced on her but she doesn’t take off, just a few steps. She’s just sensitive to your weight and leg, being young and green and likely only schooled a very small number of times. Having said that if you ask her to pop a x pole she’ll happily try her very best, never stopping or running out. She just needs time and education but has the best attitude.

She fab to catch, load, brush, shoe and tack up.

Carrie is such a sweet and kind mare. She loves a cuddle and will stand all day to be groomed. If she’s not sure about anything she’s just takes a small bit of rider encouragement and then tries her best. She never naps, bucks or rears or has her own ideas she just stops and has a look and goes on once you tell her it’s ok. She’s just an all around lovely type who will make a fantastic riding club or mother / daughter share / all rounder prospect with the right education.

We have an arena and easy hacking for any trials.

• More whoah then go

I am possibly looking for the impossible i looking for a forever horse between 15- 15.2, would go slightly higher if they ticked every box for myself to enjoy and my 9 year old daughter to find her love of horses.

I am 5’3 and in my thirties and have had horses for 20 years, I’m not a novice rider and can do all schooling,hacking, open fields and the odd small jump but I’m looking for something with more woah then go, to enjoy and have fun with without worrying, do clinics, lessons and maybe eventually go out to a few dressage competitions

I love spoiling my horses and they have the best of everything (including a nice big shaving bed that is completely levelled very straight) I also get my horses regular physio, saddle checks,teeth and farrier so my new horse would be very well looked after on diy.

What I’m looking for is-

15-15.2
Age between 5 and 12
Must be a gelding
I love greys
A horse that loves attention and is easy in the stable and out of it
A more steady ride that needs leg
A horse that my daughter could potentially sit on with while being fully supervised.
Fantastic in open fields
Snaffle mouthed at all times.
Love connemaras have owned these types over the years
Something that can be left for a couple of days and still be sane and sensible

If you think you’ve got what I’m looking for either WhatsApp me with full info including photo & videos or call

£10000 budget but could stretch for mr right.

Stable waiting, would ideally like to view within 2 hours of Leicestershire and to be open to a vetting.
