FOR SALE
 
Here are the horses and ponies we currently have for sale. We guarantee every horse is exactly as described and insist that they are tried and tested fully before purchase. As we know our horses better than anyone else, we will not sell a horse to anyone we feel is over horsing themselves

MAX

Max is a 14.3 hh weight carrying haflinger. 10 yrs old. We sold him to the first person that viewed him a couple of years ago as we sadly needed to settle a vets bill and he was the most saleable pony we had. When his new owner had to give him up due to a back injury (hers! and not horse related) we were very glad to be in the position to buy him back! Sadly for Max, he is once again the easiest horse we have to sell in order to fund some new stables our yard desperately needs....... he is utterly bombproof, please look at our link for further pictures and his video. He was used before, and is used now for people who have NEVER ridden before to hack around our countryside.....he is THAT safe!  But ideally we would like him to go to someone that isnt a COMPLETE novice, as he is perfectly capable of training humans if they allow him! He has done a seasons gate shutting with the Heythrop, reguarly placed RC level dressage, and has done lots of fun rides - That said, he will plod around the countryside for ever more if that is what you want to do. He hacks alone and in company. He has been seen to windsuck at feed times - very rarely but it has been seen - only ever when stabled......Max has as many references as you would like from beginners to accomplished riders. He can live in or out, 100% traffic, box, shoe, clip, catch etc. Take a gander through the "tourist hack" album on our photobucket links above and below, and you will see Max with a whole range of riders on him. £4250 ono

MINKY Approx 13.2hh confidence giving mare. Only 5 years old, but what you see is what you get. Has done PC, shows, snaffle mouth, good catch traffic. box, farrier etc. Controllable Sweet Itch hence absolute BARGAIN £1500

AFRICA 11.3hh dartmoor cross gelding. Done all pony club/fun rides/ hunting/XC/SJ/pony raced/Gymkhana. Taught loads of children to ride. Hates lots of schooling (although has won Dressage) so mainly hacking/hunting/PC home only. Approved home only for this special chap £1200. There are pictures of Africa in the river on our front page, pony racing and in the office on our gallery pages
Inca. Approx 13hh 10 year old black/brown gelding. Super jump, Brilliant Gymkhana. Good to catch, box, farrier, traffic etc etc. Lovely little workmanlike pony - enjoys his work. Doesnt want a nervous rider as could get a bit "Jiggy" with a clutchy rider, however is fine with our novice riding school riders. A machine for a capable child!
OIRO£1200 as has wintered out. Pics on link belowSOLD**** good luck Megan!

KATIE
Lovely 14.2hh 10 year old mare. Snaffle mouth in all situations, hacks alone and in company. Excellent traffic, shoe, load etc - easy to do in every way. Has done some PC and has promising jump. Super temperament and currently used in RS but really is too nice. Was bought for my son to move onto but sadly isnt whizzy enough for him! Dead honest and genuine mare who deserves a lovely home. Katie isnt the best schooled pony, but is very willing to learn......She goes much better for those that  just sit quietly rather than try to  "fiddle" her onto the bit - sadly, while she has gone well for those that have tried her so far, she hasnt gone so well for the experts that come with them! This is a real shame as with consistent and sympathetic riding she WILL improve no end.....we are currently working on her schooling so that Jo Public will see what we see, but in the meantime she is the most safest pony one could wish for......That said, she is balanced enough she always canters on the correct lead, is supple enough for most school movements, but if you want to go out and compete in dressage right NOW  she isnt for you. For those that want a safe but responsive ride, Family pony, or similar, then you will not go far wrong with her  £3500 ono ****sold*****GOOD LUCK WITH HER FAYE!

Piper - Out of a truly lovely NH bred TB mare and by our gorgeous spotted Stallion, Piper has inherited the beautiful temperament of both his parents. Unusually coloured - born Dun but changing his colour every season he is now a dun blanket spot.  Fabulous movement, friendly and proving to be easily trainable, Piper is standing at approx 14.3hh as an impressive rising 2 yr old(DOB JULY 2008). A very nice horse with plenty of bone about him. If he isnt doing great things in a few years time it will not be his fault! He has turned out so well we regret cutting him*****SOLD**** Good luck Helen! Cant wait to see how well you do with him! X

Lily - Gorgeous dun leopard spotted filly. Dam TB. Lily has inherited her mothers fabulous movement and her fathers superb temperament - she is simply stunning. Born early August 2008 Lily is passported, microchipped, wormed and vaccinated to date. Lily will not suffer fools gladly - she is not as forgiving as her brothers, but treated and educated properly she will reward you tenfold. She is rather special and she knows it!
Soda - Bay 2008 gelding - the most laid back youngster I've ever had, already proving to be as bombproof as his parents. This little chap was born broken in!- everything we do with him he acts like he's done it hundreds of times before! Soda is not going to be world beater in anything, but he IS going to be someones best friend - He is the perfect candidate for those looking for their first time youngster to bring on. Very forgiving, straight movement and easy temperament, has had the least done with him as we know we can do what we like with him, whenever we like!
