Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder To Enjoy Hacking, Pleasure Rides, & Low Level Adventures


Ref #: 410902
  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh Max. Age 8-14 yrs
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type
  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh Max. Age 8-14 yrs
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type

I am searching 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 (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack 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 & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). 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.

Stunning Connemara gelding


Ref #: 410848
  • Incredible temperament
  • To mature at 15.2hh
  • A true family horse/Competitions horse/share

  • Iron grey
  • Gelding
  • 4 years
  • 15.1 hands
  • Incredible temperament
  • To mature at 15.2hh
  • A true family horse/Competitions horse/share
Guinness is a beautiful 4-year-old full Connemara gelding with a striking iron grey and the most wonderful temperament you could wish for.

He is quite simply one of the friendliest, sweetest and kindest horses to handle. He adores people and will happily lie down in his stable with you for hours. He has impeccable manners, is easy to catch, load and clip, and is the sort of horse that quickly becomes everyone's favourite.

A true traditional stamp of a Connemara, Guinness is exceptionally handsome and has all the quality, substance and presence that are becoming increasingly hard to find. He regularly turns heads wherever he goes and is, without doubt, one of the nicest Connemaras I've seen in a long time.

Being only 4 years old, he is naturally still green and has plenty of education ahead of him. However, he hacks out happily, is sensible under saddle and has shown a fantastic attitude to everything asked of him. He possesses beautiful, expressive movement alongside a bold, honest jump, happily jumping everything put in front of him.

With his temperament, movement and scope, Guinness has all the attributes to make a superb Pony Club pony, eventer, riding club horse or all-round family horse. He would equally suit a mother/daughter share and is the type that will continue to improve with further schooling and experience.

Guinness arrived from Ireland a few weeks ago for my daughter to produce, but due to her recent relocation to Ireland for a new job, he is unfortunately not getting the time and attention he deserves and is therefore available to the very best home.

A truly special young Connemara with a heart of gold, endless potential and looks to match.

4-Year-Old Full Connemara Gelding. Iron Grey. Traditional Connemara Stamp. Easy to Catch, Load & Clip. Kindest Temperament. Hunted in Ireland, XC Schooling & SJ Schooling – Has Done a Bit of Everything. Beautiful Movement. Bold, Honest Jump. Pony Club, Eventing & Riding Club Prospect. Superb Mother/Daughter Share

15HH 10YO CONNEMARA GELDING


Ref #: 410718
  • Very safe pc/rc pony
  • 75% at last dressage competition
  • Great allrounder
£8,000 inc VAT
  • Connemara
  • Fleabitten grey
  • Gelding
  • 10 years
  • 15 hands
  • Very safe pc/rc pony
  • 75% at last dressage competition
  • Great allrounder

Cloudy is a gorgeous grey Connemara gelding who wants to please and is a genuine, safe horse.
We have owned him for 4 years and have a great bond so this is a very sad sale.
Would suit a confident and experienced adult or older teen wanting to have fun doing everything from dressage, showjumping and xc to fun rides.
Cloudy is talented at dressage and from the age of 6 has never had a score lower than 66%, with his scores in the last year being in the 70's.
He came 8th at pony club area dressage and qualified for Bicton last year, always producing a calm, rhythmical test. He has been working at prelim but is more than ready to step up to novice.
He has regularly competed at 70 & 80cm showjumping and arena eventing, coming home with lots of rosettes. He has been placed in the top ten at ODE's.
Cloudy loves hacking, though can be less confident to go forwards on his own. Would hack all day on the buckle when with others.
Brilliant with all traffic and farm machinery as he lives on a busy lane.
He is great to school and is a very easy enjoyable ride. He has a lovely floaty trot and knows rein-back, turn on the forehand etc. He is a quick thinker and learner and enjoys polework. He is very good to ride in open spaces, never feeling out of control. The kind of horse you can trust to stop easily when going for a gallop. His first fun ride was Badminton and he was a dream.
Good to clip, shoe and will stand all day at a show. The kind of horse that pony club DC's pick for bandaging practice at rallies! Happily turns out with mares or geldings. He is great travelling in a trailer without a partition as he prefers more space. We haven't travelled him in a box before but we're sure he would be fine. Good to load. Up to date with worming, back, teeth and vaccinations.
We have had a brilliant 4 years with him doing loads of competitions including showjumping, eventing, pony club, area and pony camps with him being super throughout.

We recently discovered he has arthritis in his hocks, and he has been treated for this. Vets have confirmed he is sound and can continue all riding and competing.

My daughter's passion is eventing, and she wants to progress further than we think is fair on him, hence the reluctant sale.

He has been treated for ulcers, which we now know was caused by prior discomfort from his arthritis. It shows what a genuine and honest horse he is that he never bucked or reared even when in a high level of work. Can be sensitive to groom in stomach/flank area due to previous ulcers. Price reflects his health problems.
5* home only for this superstar.

Available to view from 19th June.
New saddle by separate negotiation.

Floss (Coedrhyd Libby) – 15hh, 12yo Registered Welsh Section D Mare

Breeding: Registered with WPCS. Sire: Pentrepoid Welsh Flyer | Dam: Aberconwy Victoria.

Super fun on a fun rides, rides a nice dressage test, dabbled in showing (untapped potential), and an absolute machine at hacking.

Hacks alone or in company (happily leads). She has incredible stamina and confidently tackles steep hills, bogs, stony tracks, sheep, cows, and barking dogs.

A truly genuine, sweet mare with a heart of gold. Like many quality Welsh cobs, she can be a bit spooky and sharp at times, but has zero malice. She just needs a confident, reassuring rider. Once she trusts you, she tries her absolute hardest.

Jumping: She is a dirty stopper. This stems purely from a lack of self-confidence rather than nastiness. She has potential to jump up to 60cm but just lacks the confidence!

An absolute saint to manage; happily lives out 24/7. Can easily change rugs/fly masks in the field without a headcollar.

Good to load if given 10 minutes to process without being rushed. Travels perfectly and quietly, even on long trips (up to 4 hours).

Up to date on everything. Barefoot (trimmed every 6 weeks, great to do). Perfect for the Vet; not needle shy. Physio and saddle fitter done every 3-6 months. Dentist; Done annually (requires sedation). Clipping she can be a bit fidgety but fine if you take your time (will not allow her head to be clipped).

Floss is a much-loved pride and joy, only being sold due to the owner traveling. She is the perfect partner for a confident rider wanting to enjoy dressage, fun rides, and endless hacking.

**Tack/Rugs:**
Available at extra cost. Includes a GFS Monarch cob jump saddle (17", bought brand new last May).

Videos available on request.

Destiny - A straightforward, experienced Allrounder with a patient and forgiving disposition to suit an amateur or mother/daughter share

Destiny is a 15.1h, 4yo Class 1 purebred Connemara mare with lots of experience in a variety of disciplines

She has been competing in unregistered showjumping classes, and working hunter classes and proven herself very honest and calm on course in new places.

She has been hunting with the Galway blazers, done beach rides and road hacks with groups and stays cool in hectic environments.

She has been cross country schooling several times and remains unflappable to natural obstacles and water

She is not mareish in any way and gets along with other horses well

She always goes in a snaffle, will jump from any distance given, and does not get hot, sharp or strong before or after a fence. She is extremely uncomplicated to ride, and steady to ride around a course at a show. For this reason, we feel Destiny would best suit a mother/daughter share, or an adult amateur looking for a trustworthy riding club partner

Destiny is easy to catch, tie, shoe, load, plait, and hack out alone or in groups. She has no vices, lumps or bumps.

She is open to any vetting

A smashing, scopey gelding who loves to shines in a competition environment

Champ is a 15.1h, 4yo purebred Connemara gelding who loves to jump. We have yet to find a fence he is afraid of!

He has been competing as training shows with us and clearly loves it, he has proven himself to be extremely honest and brave in the ring. He requires zero prep and behaves perfectly in new places and hectic warm up rings

Champ also enjoys cross country schooling and keeps his ears forward for ditches, drains, coffins, and water jumps.

We think due to his competitive ability, he would best suit a young rider working with a coach, or someone capable of producing him in a program to develop as an eventer

He has a gorgeous uphill canter that easily covers horse strides, and has started learning his flying changes. He always goes in a loose ring snaffle and does not get strong before a fence

Champ is an athletic type, with slightly more “go than woah” paces. He is a super fun, sporty ride for those who enjoy event types. He is very easy to ride in the contact, and never hot, strong, or playful. He has a serious work ethic for his age.

Champ is easy to catch, load, tie, bathe, plait, and hack alone. He is good with traffic and gets along well with other horses. He has no vices, lumps or bumps

He is open to any vetting

Price includes delivery to UK, exchange if you are not happy

He is an extremely genuine and willing pony who always tries his heart out. Brave and bold over both showjumps and XC fences, he jumps the scariest fillers without a bother. Rocco is sensible and enjoyable on the flat and is willing and always wants to please.

We adore the way that he will happily leaves other Ponies and goes off by himself or if other ponies leave him, he’s absolutely fine, never naps to them.

He hacks out alone and in company and is a lovely, straightforward ride. Although still young, he is exceptionally well mannered with a fantastic attitude and a real kind temperament. He really is an absolute saint to have around and is the sort that will quickly become someone’s best friend. Do not be put off by his age he is extremely mature and ridiculously sensible for a youngster. We use him to take the older horses out as he is so well behaved.

A super smart all-rounder with a lovely future ahead of him. Very hard to fault and ready for a new family to go out and enjoy him.
