  • Wanted 13:3 - 15:1 hh Safe and sane happy hacker
  • Experienced long term loving home awaits right horse
  • Gelding preferred but non marish mare considered

Due to the loss of my wonderful Connemara in January I’m searching for my new best friend.

I primarily hack but would like the opportunity to do beach rides and holidays away with my friend and her horse.

I’m not adverse to a veteran or a horse/pony with health issues as long as fully disclosed. Something that’s been there and done it but now needs a quieter life would be ideal.

Must be good in all traffic and travel in a trailer.

I’ve owned and ridden horses all my life but I’m now in my sixties and no longer brave so no bucking, rearing, bolting or napping, no project horses and no dealers.

In return I can offer a long term experienced home on my  own land at my home with other horses, all year turnout with field shelter and stabling as required 

References available.

Realistic budget for the right horse.


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.

Atlas is broken to ride & drive. He has been used on farm chain harrowing etc & more recently has been hacking, doing farm rides, arena work & popped a few small fences.

Good in open spaces and snaffle mouth. Jumping and arena work are new to him and he is still quite green in both.

Good to box, shoe, clip & good in traffic. Hacks alone/in company. Currently living out 24/7 but also happy to be stabled one end of the day.

Atlas enjoys his work and is a fun chap to have around. Due to him still being green in arena and jumping he is not suitable for novices.

Looking for a kind, knowledgeable home. Has very mild sweet itch which is manageable with a rug.

Can be seen at livery with good trial facilities.

Up to date with vaccinations & teeth. Open to vetting.

Darcy 
- 16 years old
- 15.1hh
- Frome, Somerset area
- Full tack and wardrobe to go with her

Not an easy sell, I love Darcy to pieces but unfortunately due to moving away I cannot keep her anymore. I’m really hoping to find a new forever home for her to have the best life at. She has proved herself time and time again and now could do with a steadier pace more happy hacking with the occasional outing or competition

She’s a brilliant all rounder, would be perfect for a mother/daughter share. She’s was home bred and has been mine since I was 9. She’s an Irish sports horse cross argintinian mix as her father was a showjumper and mother was a polo horse. Additionally, I’ve put strawberry roan but she’s more pinky and would be suitable for dilute coloured classes

She’s been shown to a high level and I’ve done all pony club activities, (where instructors have always loved her) including hunting which she is great fun for and enjoys immensely.

She’s easy to clip, shoe, catch and travel, but will not travel facing forwards must be backwards or herringbone but then is 100%.

A nice, easy ride but not a first horse for a beginner. Shes a lovely little fun horse, I’m looking for a knowledgeable, loving home for her so no novices.

Her only flaw is she does weave when stressed. Therefore she needs a weaving grid. However once settled in a place she will calm.

I only want the very best for this mare she means the world to me. I’m very happy for a couple week trial I understand the stress of a new horse.

If your interested please contact me via my phone number

Meet Axel

A 15hh Appaloosa x gelding! He is really one for the future with scope for days but equally 3 lovely balanced paces and a lovely light contact for dressage!

We have had him from a 1 yr old and he has been slowly produced. He was backed last year but he still had a lot of growing to do so he had a winter break and has come back so much stronger!

Axel also loves hacking, he is great in open spaces never gets silly but we have only hacked him in company due to his age. In the school has got 3 amazing paces and a real trainable attitude and loves to learn! He has free jumped 1.30 but we dont have wings to go higher so definitely also plenty of scope!

Therefore I feel he will excel in any discipline.No novices as he is still a young horse and we would like him to go to someone that could get the most out of him!

Reason for selling is I feel he is wasted with us a I sadly dont have the time to put in to him and my long legs continue to grow. Price will increase as his education continues.

Will only be selling him to a 5* home as this boy deserves the world!

Also up to date with teeth,physio,vaccinations!
For any more information feel free to inquire!

How have I still got my handsome boy for sale and only had 1 viewing!

Sad sale of my lovely boy only 5** home

15/15.1hh 5 rising 6 (in July) year old green book Connemara gelding with good breeding.
He is a striking unusual silver dun colour.
In Ireland he has previously competed and has 8SJI points in 80cm and 90cm.
Owned since he was a 4 year old and has done a variety while being with me from hacking, riding in big open fields and cross country schooling.
He went Out to his first competition in the uk at the end of last year and did a 75cm arena eventing coming home with a second place rosette. He stood on the lorry while being left to find out results and was fabulous. He is the same at a competition as he is at home.

He has also done xc schooling on grass and on a surface,

He hacks alone and in company like a schoolmaster and can hack for miles he really enjoys it, he has seen a variety of traffic both alone and in company. Has hacked in the heavy winds and doesn’t bat an eyelid.
He is amazing in open fields Im a very nervous rider in them and he looks after me and goes the speed that I’m happy with, he has also popped random logs when he has been riding in the field.

He has 3 correct paces and thrives in a consistent varied work, he will do his flatwork but he is not a dressage horse he loves his jumping, hacking, fieldwork and xc so a home that will do a bit of everything is ideal. He has just started doing some lateral movements both practicing in the school and out on hacks which he is picking up easily.

He has seen a variety of fillers/watertrays, rustic, coloured fences and logs and nothing fazes him, he really enjoys his jumping he is very bold and brave and goes off any stride.

He is snaffle mouthed at all times.
He is fully shod, and upto date with everything, he gets everything regularly checked and done.
He has been loose schooled and loose jumped aswell as been lunged

He had a full check at the end of last year (saddle, teeth, physio, sheath clean etc) and there was a slight change in one of his hocks after being x-rayed so I have had this injected with Alfa2. This doesn’t cause him any issues. Apart from this he has never been sick or sorry in the whole time I’ve owned him.

This decision has not been easy but I need to do what’s best for him and me, I believe in the right home he will go from strength to strength

He is in full work and enjoying himself in a varied work going out on hacks for miles, jumping, lunging and the odd day of schooling.

Competent home sought for my special boy, although he has never done anything he is not suitable for a novice due to his age.
Priced to sell which someone will get a bargain for the quality fun horse he is.
Tack avaliable separately


Plenty of photos and videos avaliable on request

Broken last year he was turned away over the winter to mature and brought back in to work end of January. Since then he has been showjumping, jumping fillers and full courses, a flat showing clinic with a ride judge and arena eventing, which he loved.

This little horse is still very green and a long way off being the full package but he has taken on every challenge with enthusiasm and a willing attitude.

He is now ready for an experienced and competent person to continue his education.

Please no novices, he is a forward thinking fun cob who still needs guidance and his hand holding.

He will make a fantastic working show cob along with lots of potential in so many areas.

  • A very versatile horse who genuinely enjoys doing a bit of everything

I had Ned on sales livery two years ago, when he was known as Ted. He came to me then as a lower mileage 8yo, stayed for a couple of months schooling then moved onto sales livery, and then I found him a lovely home where he has had a very happy two years enjoying a bit of everything.

Ned rides sweetly on the flat and has the most beautiful, floaty trot. He enjoys pole work, is very genuine over fences. He is absolutely foot perfect in open spaces and would really fill someone with confidence. He is also golden out hacking, being extremely brave both alone and in company.

Ned has a lovely temperament. He is clicker trained and enjoys learning new tricks, which adds to his fun and kind nature.. I think he would quite enjoy working equitation.

I think Ned could suit a variety of homes as he is a very versatile horse who genuinely enjoys doing a bit of everything.

He is perfect to handle and to do in all ways, other than he does need Domosedan gel for the farrier. He is currently shod all round as he has been doing a lot of off road hacking in the Peak District, although when I sold him originally he was barefoot so I think that would depend on your terrain.

He is up to date with everything, fit, and ready to go on and have plenty more fun with his next lucky owner. Sadly only looking for a new home as his owners work commitments, owners would like to stay in touch and are happy to speak to anyone who’s interested.

Comes with his bridle and rugs

Annie - 15.2, 5 year old (2021) Irish cob mare.

Annie is the epitome of a supercob, she has so much to offer and is such a lovely kind soul that only aims to please.

Backed and ridden away last summer and mainly hacked. Annie was imported from Ireland in November from the breeder and is ready to go on to her next adventure.

3 good paces in the school and surprisingly naturally balanced for a horse of her age and type. A very comfortable canter and not big and bouncy. Hacks alone and in company, loves to box up and go for a hack to explore the countryside and pop a log in the woods. She’s a lovely forward thinking brave sort that wants to do the right thing.

Just started popping a few fences she has a lovely jump and is really honest.

She really would go on and do a variety of jobs whether that be exploring the countryside, fun rides, riding club, hunting. World is your oyster.

She has been a real pleasure to have and I ride her last every day so that I always end the day on a good note with a smile on my face! She is still learning so wouldn’t suit any very novice riders.

Good to catch, bath, load, groom, tack up. Clipped for the first time recently and was a bit worried at first but then started to enjoy the scratchy bits so settled down and stood quietly. Did have a set of shoes on but is now barefoot as she really didn’t need them her feet are solid. She thought the farrier was a bit scary but again, just young and needs reassurance.

Gaston, approx 15hh, 8yr old, smart palomino gelding.

Gaston has mainly been used as a happy hacker for the last 3 years, attending pleasure/endurance rides, and also unaffiliated dressage.

We took him to an arena hire yesterday where he behaved really well, jumped some little show jumps, not looking at any of the fillers, and then went happily over ditches, up/down steps, and through water without any hesitation or need for a lead.

He hacks very well, is good in traffic. He is easy to catch/box/clip/shoe etc. Lives in or out. A very straightforward horse to have around the yard.

We think Gaston will make someone a lovely, fun allrounder.

This is an abolutley heartbreaking sale of Sammy. I have owned Sammy for 4 years, and ONLY selling due to not having the time he deserves anymore.

Sammy absolutley loves life. He loves to be out and about, he loves fuss and attention, he loves new adventures. He is never sick or sorry and never has an off day. Sammy is a very forward going ride, and is always full of energy and fun.

Showjumping
Sammy loves showjumping. He never ever refuses, he will attempt the jump infornt of him no matter how wrong his rider is. Sammy is comfortable jumping up to 90cm courses, however I do feel that with the right education he is certainly capable of much more.
He is very forward going over a jump. He locks on and hes going over it. He occasionaly does a little leap going into the jump. But this is all part of the fun. He is great in a jump off, got the speed and the turns. Sammy is very rarely not placed in a show.

Hacking
A wonderful hack. Forward, fun, but safe. Sammy has done beach rides, pub rides, fun rides, hacks on his own, in a large group and is fantastic in traffic. He has a fast walk and is usually up front, but will hapily walk on the buckle. If we are in a group and we canter, he is easy enough to hold back and stay at the back. He is never out of control or bombs off. He has hunted a handful of times and was very well behaved, no different to his usual self out hacking.

Cross country / arena eventing
Nothing phases sammy, he will jump ditches, logs, bushes, trees, hedges and water. Happy to land in water. Sammy has done the derby show in broomes plenty of times and has never put a stop in, and charges across the bridge.


Sammy is easy to handle in all situations. He is calm, kind, and always full of mischeif. Sammy has a massive personality and never fails to make us laugh.
Sammy is good to shoe, catch, clip, and load.
He lives with mares and geldings, and is stabled at night in the winter.
He does like turn out as he gets bored.

The Negatives
As ive said, sammy is forward going, and he does like a cheeky buck. It is absolutley nothing malicious, it is purely playfulness. His bucking is worse when he is ridden in the school at home. When he is in a show, he never bucks in the ring. Might have one in the warm up, but never in the ring. When we are out hacking, if he knows he is on a canter path, he wil do a little buck as if it to say "come on lets canter" but like I said, he never bolts off. My mum hacks him often, and even though she is very experienced, she is also a pretty nervous rider, but she really enjoys riding him.
I let my daughter ride him, and I let my friends ride him, with no concerns whatsoever. He is just not for a novice.

Sammy would be perfect for a confident teenager who just wants to go out and do everything and have loads of fun.

Sammy will only be going to the most perfect home, No timewasters, as I cannot stress enough what a hard sale this is.

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.
