COB THAT CAN

Louis is a super fun quality cob.

He has a very can do attitude to life and being ridden.

He has hunted once which he thoroughly enjoyed and looked the part at! He has been XC schooling, done a little unaff shows and a farm ride.

Louis came to us at A.E Equestrian early this year after his owner didn't feel quite suited to him, he had grown up in a big riding club environment and was considered a novice confidence giver but really he is more active than this. We then sold him to a family with a keen grand-daughter and family but he forgot his ground manners in this small environment and has come back!

All the above really detracts from the fantastic Welsh X cob he is. He hacks well, is great with traffic, pops small fences and might go and pop around local un-aff SJ next week time allowing. He just hasn't found the right people/ set up unfortunately. He really is a true RC/ PC all-rounder go getter! Would be fab for clinics, camps.

On the ground he is super with us. He banged the door on day one and is a bit of an attention seeker, especially if you over treat him, but otherwise he is hard to fault; clipping, shoeing, bathing etc all great. Lives in or out. Doesn't need riding daily etc. Hacks well alone, will ride and lead and regularly nannies young horses.

His flatwork could do with some supplying up but he is very willing and has not really had consistency of late.

Not wasted a present but too good to not be used! We will carry on over the supper and hopefully do a bit of eventing by the end of summer if not sold.

These types are so hard to find.

Too forward for a novice and has quite a Welsh way of going. Would really suit someone wanting to get out and ride and have fun.

Freya
15.3 4yr Friesian x cob mare

Freya was lightly backed last year in her previous home in walk and trot and did a few steady pleasure rides. She was then purchased by my client and given the autumn/winter off and brought back into work gently including groundwork, walking in the arena and some hacking from March.

She is currently working in walk and trot in the fields independently, responsive but not reactive, you can put your leg on without getting orbited! She tries hard to please and naturally works in a nice shape, she will be very smart. She is starting to find her balance and confidence in herself and showing some really nice work.
She has been ridden by an 11yr old and was very kind.

She is hacking well in company, happy to lead, not been phased by any of the traffic we have seen out and about, and used to the vehicles on the farm. She has been out alone with us with someone on foot, she looks at a bit more when alone and benefits from support and confidence from her rider, as you'd expect from most 4yr olds!

She enjoys some pole work and is careful where she puts her feet.

She 'parks' for a mounting block, she also longreins well, and lunges.
She settled really quickly, is happy in or out and is nice and easy to have around. She has no vices, but anything left within reach does go in her mouth!
She's good to catch, lead, load, travel, trim (barefoot), bath, for the vet etc.

She enjoys a groom and a fuss and is very loving.
We are looking for someone capable of carrying on producing her now, she'll do a number of jobs in time and be very versatile.
Due to her age she is not suitable for someone nervous/novice/1st horse/rusty, she needs someone capable of continuing her education properly and creating a partnership.

She's up to date with everything and passed a 2 stage vetting when purchased, although obviously open to another suitable vetting (she's not cantering 10m circles yet!).

Home is of top priority.
Price to include bridle and rugs.
No loans or trials
Please don't be offended if I ask for your experience/videos etc, it's important I don't waste anyone's time with unsuitable viewings and/or upset her with the wrong riders. She's very forgiving for her age but is just a baby!

If no answer please drop me a message and I'll ring back ASAP.
She is on sales livery.

15.2hh 5yo British Bred Irish Draught Mare – “Dorothy” – Exceptional Breeding, Quality and Temperament, 9.5” bone

Sire : Aye Aye Skipper
Dam : Ashill Silver Lady (Fast Silver)

Dorothy came to us as an unbroken youngster and we have really taken our time with her, she hasn’t been rushed and overworked for her age like a lot of the pure breds on the current market
She was left until she was 4.5yr old to be brought in and started and was given the time to mature and develop which we believe has really paid off.

Old fashioned stamp of a pure bred Irish Draught mare with beautiful conformation, movement and all the attributes to excel in a variety of disciplines.

She has been carefully and correctly produced with her future in mind, never rushed and always given time to mature. She is now progressing nicely in her education, working in a soft, correct outline on the flat, she moves beautifully with nice transitions and has started popping a small fence with a willing and trainable attitude.

Dorothy is a pleasure to have on the yard and truly is the sweetest mare inside and out – a real yard favourite who will be very sadly missed. She is good to hack both alone and in company, and takes everything in her stride.

She is easy to do in all ways – good to clip, bath, farrier, and dentist. She has a laid-back, kind temperament and does not need to be in constant work, making her easy to pick up and enjoy even after time off.

This is a genuine quality mare with a bright future ahead. She is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and has all the potential to excel as a top show cob or a genuine, high-class allrounder.

Totally clean legs, no vices, no lumps or bumps, easy to catch, load, handle, trim (with clippers) bath, farrier etc

Up to date with vaccines, farrier (barefoot) dentist and worming.

A very special mare looking for a 5?? home, always been very well loved and will only go to the best homes

Greylands Maggie May

A super stamp of an Irish Sports Horse mare. She is the full package with the looks and a temperament to die for. She has 3 comfortable paces and a sweet little jump.

She has done a bit of everything, hacks alone or in company, good in open spaces, pops a course of jumps, will hunt all day long, struts a really nice dressage test and looks a picture in the show ring.

Good to do in all ways, loads and travels like a dream, good to shoe, clip, catch etc. genuinely one of the easiest horses to have around. Can be ridden after 6 months off and it was as if she was ridden yesterday.

She would suit someone wanting to hunt, show, hack, compete or generally just do a bit of everything with.

Full history known.

Very sad sale so a 5* home is the upmost priority for this horse

A truly lovely 16.3hh Full Irish Draught mare with the temperament, ability and presence to stand out from the crowd.

By Moyough Legacy out of a Dowdstown Belle mare by Crosstown Dancer, She combines traditional Irish Draught breeding with proven performance. She has a competitive record at EI90 level and is ready to continue enjoying a varied and successful career with her next rider.

She is the sort that gives you confidence. Brave and genuine to a fence, she takes you forward without being strong or silly and is always ridden in a snaffle. She has three comfortable paces, is light in the hand, works willingly from the leg and is straightforward on the flat. Despite her height, she rides smaller and is easy to manage both on the ground and under saddle.

She would be ideally suited to a Riding Club, Pony Club or grassroots eventing home and would make a fantastic first horse for a competent rider stepping up from ponies. Equally, she is quality enough to be competitive in workers, showjumping, eventing or as an all-round family horse.

A pleasure to handle in every way and a genuine horse to have around. Good to load, travel, catch, shoe and clip. Hacks confidently and is happy to turn her hoof to whatever is asked of her.

A quality Irish Draught mare who is ready to go out and have fun immediately. Serious enquiries welcome.

PROVEN 15hh DRESSAGE/EVENT WELSH COB GELDING

Fabulous opportunity to purchase Marl Mostyn (stable name: Merlin) a much loved and exceptionally talented 15hh, 14-year-old, black, Welsh Cob gelding.

In his long-term partnership with his former rider he competed at BE80 and BE90, placing 7th with a 29.5dressage on his last outing.

Her attentions then switched to dressage where he regularly scored 67%+ at Novice and Elementary level BD.

He was then sold to a lady in her 60s to rekindle the riding of her past, but tragically it has transpired that her own spinal issues mean his talents are being wasted and she has accepted, the sad decision to sell, is in his best interests.

Exquisitely schooled on the ground and under saddle this stunning gelding is sensitive, light and obedient on the flat and has powerful paces and a scopey, exhuberant, careful and bold jump.

He is proven and yet has untapped potential and so we will assess all applicants carefully to ensure he has the best future going forward and are seeking a talented teen or competent adult and not children - rider in the photos is 5'10''!

Barefoot all his life his current owner has adopted that easily.

Trial facilities at his home in the New Forest.

A historic sarcoid removal is declared and reflected in his price.

  • 100% in every way

What can I tell you about my boy. He has given me 6 years of absolute pleasure. Given me so much confidence to get out and enjoy horse riding again.

Norman will hack anywhere and carry anyone, from a complete novice to stepping up for the confident. He will go in any traffic, from main roads to country lanes. Will squeeze on the grass verge for tractors to pass. He will look after you and ensure you come home smiling.

He has been professionally schooled although he prefers getting out rather than going round a school.

Will travel in a trailer or lorry, in company or alone. Will stand happily tied for hours. Loves a good pressure wash. Live in or out. Stays in the field alone. In fact he is just brilliant to do anything and everything with.

Taken me on many fun rides. Pops a log, not a show jumper though. I adore him. Barefoot with really strong feet, up to date with teeth, vacs and worming.

Now if you want to school him every day then I won’t sell him to you. I can’t say he will jump 80cm as he probably won’t, and we don’t have a ménage to trial him.

If you want something to be part of your family, to put a smile on his riders face, and know that you will always come home safe then get in touch.

Never been sick or sorry whilst with us. Only looking for new home as I have another horse and no time.

I genuinely will only sell to the right home

Lawrence is out of Fututure Hepsilon; (Heraldik x Upsilon) his remarkable bloodlines gives him a real standout presence. With this quality comes a very sweet and kind nature, whereby he always tries his best. He is well behaved on the ground as well as ridden. He has super movement and huge potential with the jumping.

Lawrence is green, but is also a very clean slate, and is therefore the ideal project for someone looking to progress him and make the most of his potential. He is still owned by the breeder who sent him away to be backed last year. Since then he has had the winter off at home to grow and mature. Now he has been brought back into work, getting fit and ready to go.

He has shoes, vacs and worming all up to date.
I’ve loaded and driven him myself and currently riding him around the farm on his own. He is good in traffic, fine on different terrain. Incredibly balanced up and down hills. (I am 5ft7 for reference)

**N.B he has sarcoids: one small one on his chest plus a few even smaller around his sheath (photos available) this is reflected in his price **

  • Ideal Happy Hacker
  • Reason for sale - retirement from riding of owner/rider
  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved
Striking, unspooky and very easy, friendly 15.1hh black cob mare (born October 2020) with significant presence who has been out and about locally and on fun rides - ridden by all ages (64-12).

She has the potential to do a lot more in the right hands. She has been gently hacked out over the last 2 years and is reliable, sensible and safe. Owner is now looking to retire from riding and wants to see her fully optimised as the SWEET horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse she can become.


This little horse moves nicely and is happy to pop a log and is happy with trotting poles and cross poles but has had no formal programme of schooling. She is responsive and quick to learn. She can be hacked on the buckle end, is totally chilled in open spaces, never takes hold and is more whoa than go-go-go. She would be brilliant as a loving family horse and happy hacker with the potential to do low level dressage/ showing/xc .

We live on country lanes and she is good with the local traffic and farm machinery. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot & the guns do not worry her at all. I have never even noticed when she is in season - totally unmareish.


She is ready for a loving owner who will be consistent and who wants to teach her and/or learn with her. (Please note however that due solely to her age and size and my desire to see her progress she will NOT be sold to a total novice or unconfident rider/handler). She is bright and highly teachable - as such she will quickly become “that horse” that many riders want. I have not given her the consistency or next step of schooling and life experience she now is ready for. I would like to see her being brought on and taken out and about intelligently and kindly with a view to being her owner’s “life horse”. She has had a great and happy start here with groundwork, hacking and slow, steady and kind life experience. She is snaffle mouthed.


She has been clipped the last two winters. Barefoot with good hard feet although she was shod when I got her two years ago. She is good to load and easy to handle. She lives in or out – solo or company & is a good doer. (She has been predominantly with mares although her first summer here she shared a field with a gelding and was fine.) She respects electric fencing and does not eat the wood on post and rail fencing. She is unfazed being left on her own in the stable or when her friends leave her from the field and is always pleased to see you when you come to the gate either to say hello or take her in for a groom/ride. Never been sick or sorry.


No timewasters, purchase agreements or loans . 5* home only and, please, only people ready to commit as a swift sale is necessary .
