Geoff is a 14.2hh chunky Bay Blagdon gelding, 4 years

We have had Geoff since the start of last summer and he was purchased as an unbroken project. Sadly a change in my work circumstances force a sale earlier than I would have liked. That being said, he has been broken to ride lightly and he was as easy as expected and has been turned away.

He has a placid, sweet but brave nature and is fabulous to have around. Catch, lead, tie up, muck out round, groom, farrier. He has a lovely nature with other horses too.

Nothing has been rushed with him. He is young and green so will be sold to a knowledgeable home only, however, he is going to make someone a fabulous cob with size and substance. They don’t make cobs like this anymore.

Serious enquiries only. He is based near Whalley, Lancashire. We can arrange transport nationally.

Geoff is sound, never sick or sorry, no sweetitch, great feet and no sarcoids. Had teeth done and wolf teeth removed and is ready to be brought back into work.

He is open to vet.

Lancelot has been recently backed and ridden away don’t be put off by his age or low ridden mileage he’s wise beyond his years, he’s seen the world as he was my driving horse he’s competed and been driven all over the country just has little ridden miles.

He has recently started schooling work under saddle and is a very quick learner with a super chill attitude to life. Although he’s Not your typical kick along goes off your leg he’s not fizzy in anyway. Snaffle mouthed with manner to die for whilst being ridden and on the ground.

He is well behaved on the yard and in the Feild a pleasure to have around easy to deal with in every way. He has been handled by my tiny tot niece and is polite and unflappable.

Easy low maintenance cob happy to live In Or out in a herd pair or on his own. Will turn out with mares geldings or stallions he’s a real no fuss kind of guy, doesn’t get up set being left behind in the Feild. Keeps his super chill attitude when going to shows settles well in every situation I’ve put him in.

He’s will load into anything lorry trailer forward back ward facing herringbone he travels like a dream you don’t feel him on the back. Good for the farrier will stand all day to be pampered bathed groomed. The children jump all over him he’s not bothered.

Went to his first show little local show and didnt disappoint was loved by the judges came home with ribbons. Would make a lovely show cob with abit more schooling.

Will pop a small fence but jumping isn’t his thing with the size of him. He’s a solid chunky boy heaps of beautiful feather mane and tail yet surprisingly easy self maintained.

Unbelievably Safe / Clydesdale Cross Cob

  • Perfect 1st Horse / Beginner / Nervous /
  • Confidence Giver / RDA / Allrounder
  • Massive Weight Carrier

Please don’t let her age put you off, she most definitely is wise and judicious beyond her years, 5 years going on 15 years, typical laid back Clydesdale characteristics.

If your looking for a horse that has impeccable manners on the ground and when riding, something that is super safe, calm and not phased by anything, that is extremely low maintenance and can be looked after by a child, a horse with more whoa than go, dare I say it…… a bit of a plod, then look no further.

Despite only being 5 years she is so level headed and mature for her age, her laid back personality and attitude to life is 2nd to none.
Jess is as straightforward as they come with absolutely no quirks or vices.

Jess is a really nice calm considerate girl, who is unbelievably safe. Ideal for beginner riders, or riders who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, she has more woah than go …..a bit of a plod, even tho she is super safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces, with flare and enthusiasm, she is very sensible and can be forward going if your a more experienced rider, not spooky, sharp or silly in anyway, she is responsive to the leg if you can ride, whilst remaining calm and relaxed, she is extremely willing and will do anything you ask, she has 3 nice balanced super steady paces, she will jump a course of small coloured and rustic fences.

Jess participates in our low level showjumping, cross country, In hand, fancy dress & handy pony competitions.
She is a firm favourite with our lead rein classes, special requirement and RDA rides, both ridden and during stable management and therapy sessions.

She is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic horse for anyone to build up their confidence, continue learning to ride and progress on.
Definitely a 1st horse.

Exceptional mare with a heart of gold, she is super loving and affectionate, She has spent the 18 months working in a riding school where she has been ridden by all level riders, from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before up to advanced riders where she participates in our flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he first started her riding school career. She is very genuine and loves to hack out, she does not pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, Jess will hack through the heaviest of very fast moving traffic without batting an eye lid, she is not perturbed by any kind of vehicles or farm machinery.

Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and has brilliant manners enabling anyone to handle her safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed and bathed, she loves being pampered. She will stand patiently at a mounting block.

She has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy Schoolmistress, with no ifs or buts.

She will hack out alone or in company through very heavy traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of wether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on his own, she will not rush, pull, race or try an overtake even on the way home.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble, she has no marish traits, not clingy, she is happy to be stabled and turned out on her own.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot, she is equally happy to be shoed.
She is excellent to catch, load, travel with the farrier, dentist and vet.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler when competing, cross country, showjumping, fun rides and beach rides.

She doesn’t need to be ridden every day she can go without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance.
He has never been lame in the whole time we have had her. No lumps or bumps.

Just passed our annual Licence Inspection which is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer. Being sold on behalf of a working livery.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around every 12-24 months to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again. We are also reducing stock due to being quite we have a variety available for viewing.

Ultimate weight carrying, happy hack

  • Fantastic attitude
£5,950
  • Shire
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 5 years
  • 17.2 hands
  • Weight-carrying type
  • Fantastic attitude

A lovely, registered Shire mare looking for her next home.

Standing at 17.2hh, she is a true weight-carrying type with a fantastic attitude out hacking. She happily hacks alone or in company and will go for hours through woodlands, country lanes and on the roads. Nothing seems to faze her, and she is good in traffic, making her a confidence-giving ride for those wanting a sensible hack.

She is ridden in a snaffle and has good brakes. She is not overly sensitive to either the leg or hand, making her forgiving and comfortable for a less-than-perfect rider.

Having mainly been used for hacking, she is still green in the school and would benefit from further education in the arena should you wish to go down that avenue. At just 5 years old, she has plenty of time and potential for someone wanting to put their own stamp on her.

Good to catch, turnout, and with the farrier. Barefoot with strong, healthy feet. Turns out happily with both mares and geldings.

She can occasionally be a typical mare in the stable and may pull a face from time to time, but this is easily managed and does not affect her ridden work.

She is currently building condition and has already improved significantly whilst in our care.

A lovely, reliable hacking partner would suit someone looking for a safe, sensible horse to enjoy miles of riding on.

Outstanding Chestnut Blagdon Cob Mare For Sale “Lady” AKA Lady in Red

Lady is truly not your everyday cob. She has all the qualities to make a serious future prospect and has been bred to stand out.
This is an incredibly difficult decision as I originally bred Lady to keep for myself, however with the girls’ riding now taking priority, unfortunately I just don’t have the time she deserves.

Homebred from my stunning Greateaves mare, who I still own
Full sister also retained
Well handled since birth

I have a selection of very exciting young horses that I am currently working with.

Finn: Skewbald cob x American paint horse gelding, 4 years old, to make 15hh

Ranger: chestnut Irish cob gelding, 3 years old, to make 15.2hh

Champ: black blagdon traditional cob gelding, 3 years old, to make 15hh

Pippa: piebald traditional cob mare, 4 years old, to make 14.1hh

Chilli: piebald lighter weight cob gelding, 3 years old, to make 14.3hh

All of them are in the process of being professionally started, ridden away and produced by myself and all are at different stages. I will gladly take them through the whole journey, however if their perfect partner found us before this point I would be open to letting them go once they are confidently riding away in walk trot and canter. And their price would reflect the stage that they are at, at this point I would be looking for around £10,000 - £12,000
Once they are fully produced and are out competing and seeing the world I will be advertising them at around £15,000. Prices will vary depending on the individual horse but this is a rough guide.

All of them have passports and microchips, are fully vaccinated, up to date with teeth, physio and farrier (all are currently barefoot)
All of them are good to do in all ways and very well mannered.

I will be looking for experienced homes to continue their education and help them grow into the fabulous riding horses that I know that they are all going to be, so no novices please. I am never in a rush to sell and I will gladly take all of them right through to being fully produced and out competing and seeing the world, which is what I have always done for many years. So this is an opportunity that I have never offered before. I do appreciate that the cost of fully produced riding horses is high and not everyone has a budget that will reach this, so as I have said above I would be open to letting them go before they are fully produced if their perfect partner and forever home found us.

If you feel like any of them might be what you are searching for and want to know a bit more about them, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss whether they could be a potential match for you and to register interest to be on a wait list for them and I will gladly keep you updated with their progress.

No novices, no dealers, no riding schools, no loans, no payment plans.
Experienced forever homes only please, homes will be vetted, they are all very special horses who deserve the very best.

Rose can be a little unsure at times, especially when settling in, but with a quiet home and a calm, confident handler she will truly flourish. She absolutely loves a good groom and will soak up every bit of fuss and affection.

  • 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

  • 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.

Registered name is Scrapmans Adonis 16.2hh 6 yrs full ID by Scrapman X Mountain Diamond

Big solid chap who will make someone a super hunter / pleasure rides/ all rounder type. Donny has been in the same home with small lady owner since unbroken 4 year old. He’s been started very slowly and allowed plenty of time to mature. He’s takes up the leg very well and although on the larger side is a light ride and has potential in the school, it’s not really his favourite thing though so he’s probably more suited to a home who will do more fun things with him.

Donny loves his jumping and is very brave and genuine, he’s never said no he will be a real weapon once tuned up and a bit fitter. He’s good round a full set of show jumps and loves XC schooling.

Hunted 3 times last season with the Surrey Union and was good, jumped everything asked of him with novice rider on board. He’s made for hunting, and although not a made hunter yet, shows all the attributes required to not only look smart but also be good across the country.

Donny hacks alone and in company , his preference is company but with an assertive rider is quite happy to go on his own. We feel this is just greenness and he continues to get better and braver! He’s been good in all traffic met to date, farm machinery, livestock, riding to the pub … none of this has bothered him and he’s always happy hacking with his ears pricked.

He’s a low maintenance chap and enjoys field life with his friends. He’s quite happy living out all year but will come in if he must. Currently out nights with us and super friendly with the other horses in the field. Donny is good to catch, box, shoe, clip but he’s not a cuddly fellow around people and prefers his own space, pulls faces over the door and silently swears at you. Horse savvy experienced owner would definitely suit him better.
