£15,000

  • Beautiful floaty paces
  • Gorgeous On the ground
  • Scopey jump

A fantastic small horse who truly does it all — safe enough for a child, yet talented and competitive enough for an adult.

He has experience across all disciplines, from dressage to hunting, and behaves impeccably in every situation. Wherever he goes, he turns heads with his presence and manners.

He works in a correct, rhythmical way and is schooling towards Elementary/Medium level with lovely balance and self-carriage.

A pleasure to hack both alone and in company. He canters out sensibly in open spaces and is unphased by traffic, although we are based in a quiet village.

An absolute dream to hunt. He was ridden by a teenage girl and behaved impeccably throughout, standing quietly and enjoying the day.

Excellent to load, shoe, clip, catch and handle. A genuine, easy horse to have around the yard.

A rare find – a kind, talented and versatile horse who would suit a wide range of riders.

Requirements:
1. Must hack alone and in company
2. Not strong
3. 14.3hh – 15.3hh (for petite 5ft1 riders)
4. Bonus if seen hounds (may like to go hunting quietly a few times, but not essential)
5. Bonus if been to local shows – we enjoy popping into a class and then standing with a picnic and pimms!

A Super little alrounder by Peters Brook


Ref #: 399603

  • Competed unaffiliated dressage and showjumping
  • Good to hack alone and in company
SOLD!
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Bay
  • Gelding

  • Competed unaffiliated dressage and showjumping
  • Good to hack alone and in company
Ned is a compact little horse with a good amount of bone and lovely temperament. Ned is by Peters Brook a registered Irish Cob part bred out of a dam by Willie Joe, a unique mix of Irish blood that would make a nice show hunter/ working hunter pony type.

Ned has been an amateur’s horse for most of his life enjoying pleasure rides, hacks, beach rides and all the fun activities in between. He has also done a good few low level competions both showjumping and dressage.

In the school on the flat ned has started to progress nicely, due to the nature of his previous homes schooling has not been the top priority, now in a professional environment being schooled he has proven to pick things up quickly, works in an outline, has three nice paces. And would certainly excel as an event/working hunter horse.

Ned is happy to pop round a course of fences, he has a nice tidy jump and is not fazed by fillers etc. He is currently jumping 80/90cm with ability. He has also done a some cross country fences and loves the variety.

Ned hacks alone and in company, he has seen farm and village traffic and does not get hot up in open spaces. He would hunt as he is mannerly and very well behaved.

Ned is a lovely horse to be around, he is happy to live in or out, goes on the walker and is simply a very easy horse to deal with. He is good to load, clip, shoe, catch etc.

This is a sad sale with a genuine reason. We would love to see Ned in a home where he can continue having lots of fun and compete. For sale on behalf of a client.

My preferred breed is a chunky traditional Connemara just cause I love the breed so much my previous Connemara gave me so much but he is retired now , but would consider something else that fits the bill.

I previously had a bad accident with my last pony on the road with a tractor and my confidence is very low , it's very important that my next pony is very safe confidence giver. I am aware no horse is perfect but I don't want anything sharp or spooky and nothing that bolts , rears or bucks , strong etc
more woah than go

I would prefer no health issues but if it's something slight I will consider.
more must haves are good loading , good for farrier , dentist , for leading and for the vet.

I have had weekly dressage lessons for over a year and then monthly lessons with jumping the year before , spent a lot of time hacking ,before my accident. I have had horses for many years and was a competent rider until my accident where I lost confidence.

I am aware this is a lot to ask for but I know somewhere they must be one for me :) genuine 10 star home awaits thanks !

Been there done that, Fun, Competitive Show Jumper


Ref #: 385611
  • Ideal mother/daughter/son allrounder
  • Super bold show jumper
  • Impeccable manners
£9,500 ONO

  • 15 hands
  • Ideal mother/daughter/son allrounder
  • Super bold show jumper
  • Impeccable manners
One in a Million Connemara, knows his job and loves his job! A real part of the family pony whose loved by everyone!

I’ve had the pleasure of owning Duke for 6 years and in that time he has taken me from jumping 90cm to 1m15 and 1m30 at home. Everyone who knows Duke knows how unbelievably special he is.

Duke does everything and anything from hunting to show jumping he has done it all! He has a record competing at 1m10/1m15, BS and unaffiliated. He absolutely loves his jumping, he is strong, quick and competitive . He would be the perfect 90cm/1m jumper for a young child/teenager to have some fun on. He would be great at teaching a young competitive child the ropes!

He really is part of the family and on the ground he can be handled by a toddler! Idea mother/daughter share as he loves beach rides, fun rides and long hacks. He is an absolute cross country machine and will jump everything and anything put in front of him. He is the bravest horse I’ve ever met with an absolute heart of gold. All good to clip, shoe, load etc, the usual.

This is the hardest thing I will ever have to do and homes will be vetted. I am of course open to any and every question regarding Duke as his new home is the most important thing to me.

He’s wasted potential at the moment and needs to be out having fun! I have loads more photos and videos on request.

RDA horse/pony wanted

  • Good temperment
  • Happy to hack
  • Good in traffic

We are a small RDA centre with a big heart looking for multiple types and sizes of horses from 13.2 – 16.3hh ride and/or drive. We are based South West London and hack out in one of London's royal parks.

Temperament is very important and must be good to handle by multiple people. We offer our horses a variety in their life, mostly involving hacking and fun days out. We don’t have an arena onsite so ability to hack is a must. We offer herd turnout, with work rotation so horses get a large amount of rest days.

Welfare and care are our upmost priority, 5* home waiting with lots of love and care.

Please contact lexy@parklanestables.co.uk


 

 

Simply Chill! - gentleman allrounder/ Schoolmaster/ Mother-Teen Share……………………. Re-available through no fault of his own.


Ref #: 389100
  • Absolute delight to handle and stable favourite

  • Absolute delight to handle and stable favourite
  • RC/ PC/ Event/ NSEA/ hack etc
  • A genuine & forgiving type - step up/ step down. Snaffle mouthed

Sadly re-available as too gentle to cope with over zealous Shetland pack leader!!

Holstein x BWB. First to view did buy this lovely chap, hoping for a repeat performance!

Exceptionally well bred & low mileage.

Sad sale as we simply love this horse but with ‘Taylor’s’ jockey on a gap year before uni, it’s time to find him his next loving home.

Well mannered & confidence giving, he’s perfect for someone looking to step up to horses or alternatively wanting to step down to something safer but still fun. He is light in the mouth & responsive to the aids.

Taylor has done a bit of everything between my son & daughter (18 & 14) over the last two years inc camps & eventing clinics at Somerford & Greenlands EC, PC & NSEA - qualifying for national champs with new 12yr old rider.

He loves XC (Badminton grassroots prospect).
Bred to jump (I’m told his half sister won European gold league) yet we’ve only asked up to 90cm of him out & up to 1m15 at home.
He’s even done some archery - my son’s favoured discipline.

100% barefoot, good with farrier, vet, clip etc.
Does not weave or wind suck & is a dream to load (box or trailer).
Is not spooky & has never been known to spin or bolt. Does not buck, rear, kick or bite.

He prefers company in the field and is equally content with mares or geldings.

He really is the best of horses to handle & hack out. Not a nasty bone in his body & never had a day off sick/ unsound. Full history known. No medical issues but will only go somewhere with access to adequate year round turnout. Likes a stable at night.

Pls call Natalya on 07880804719 if interested.

Rosie – Genuine, Fun, Experienced All-Rounder


Ref #: 399219
  • Perfect Mum & Child Share
  • Fabulous All-Rounder.
£4,500 ONO
  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 15 hands
  • Perfect Mum & Child Share
  • Fabulous All-Rounder.

Approx. 14.3hh–15hh | 13yo Mare

Rosie is a genuinely lovely mare who ticks a huge number of boxes and is the sort that is very hard to find. She is kind, honest, and fun, making her an excellent mum and child share or a versatile all-rounder for a competent rider.

Born August 2012, Rosie loves her work and particularly enjoys hacking, fun rides, and farm rides. She is completely unfazed by busy arenas, warm-ups, and atmosphere — in fact, she thrives in these environments and is a real pleasure to ride.

She enjoys showjumping with my teenage daughter and has jumped competently and confidently up to 85cm at local shows. With consistent work and further mileage, she is absolutely capable of progressing further.

She is careful, willing, and enjoys her job.
Rosie hacks happily alone or in company, is regularly ridden in traffic, and is sensible in open spaces. She is a confident, forward-thinking ride and can be strong at times, but she is always genuine and kind. I am a novice rider myself, and Rosie has given me enormous confidence both in the arena and out hacking.

She has previously had a minor suspensory injury, which has caused us no issues whatsoever during our ownership. She’s never needed a day off. She is currently sound, well, and loving life.

Rosie is easy to manage and a pleasure to have on the yard:
Good for the farrier
Good to clip
Happy living in or out
Hacks alone or in company

She is not suitable as a first horse or for a complete novice on their own, but she would be ideal for a capable teenager or adult, particularly as part of a mum/daughter share or for someone wanting a fun, genuine horse to enjoy and progress with.

We will continue to develop Rosie; her price reflects where she is currently, but may increase with further work and competition outings.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved mare. Rosie will only be sold to a knowledgeable, 5-star home. The right home is far more important than price, and sensible offers will be considered.

£4500 ONO
