Gosh you can tell how busy we have been from how poor the FB updates are 😂

We were working hard getting a bunch of amazing young horses ready to find their own new home!

For individual informations and videos please pm Clara on WhatsApp on 07478199827

Starting strong with

- 🩵Theo🩵

Dark grey, Full up 15.2hh, 5yo Connemara X ISH gelding

Theo is the ultimate ladies hunter, steady, comfortable, with a big stride and very bold and unspooky

He is just back into work from his winter holidays so hacking fit for now, as a 4yo he has been hunting with a very petite lady rider, he is amazing out hacking both in company and on his own, he has been to funrides, around a small course and cross country schooling

He has a very sweet laid back (NOT a kick along) personality, green for his age as was given plenty of time to grow and he is not quite finished yet with that. Great big paces and a good jump he will be an amazing hunter/all-rounder/working hunter for someone, lots of presence and amazing to handle

-🤍Jacob🤍

White grey, 15.1hh, 5yo fully registered Connemara X ISH (lots of ID) gelding

Jacob is a lovely old stamp Irish horse, with a bit of bone but good paces and a good jump

He has been cross country schooling, showjumping and is good to hack both in company and in a group, he has lovely movements and is naturally forward but not strong or hot in any way

He has a nice jump and could turn his hoof to pretty much anything, he is naturally balanced and collected and gives a lovely feeling

He can have a little spook, but not sharp in the slightest nor nappy, he always goes forward when asked, just still learning about the world

-🤎 Cocoa 🤎

Bay, 14.3hh, 6yo fully registered Connemara gelding

Cocoa is a forward (not strong), athletic pocket rocket in pony size that gives horse feelings

He is a very exciting eventing prospect with plenty of potential, he is super brave to a fence and bold as brass. Lots of scope and potential, he is green for his age which is reflected in his price as took a long time to mature, he has been showjumping and cross country schooling

A real little powerhouse in the making, not sharp not naughty but a more competition type for a competitive amateur

I can see him flying around Badminton grass route!!

-🐻Charlie🐻

Bright bay, 5yo Connemara X ISH (mainly ID), 16hh gelding

Charlie is a wonderful big Labrador 😂 the funniest, babiest most entertaining personality on the ground and a very genuine hard working ride

Charlie is big and gangly and green but he tries his absolute best at everything, he is one of the bravest young horses I ever sat on, having jumped a handful of time he goes around a course and never question or spook at anything

He would also be an amazing hunter!! He has been cross country schooling, hunter trial, show-jumping and is heading to his first ODE on Sunday

He takes a little time to warm up to new people so I highly recommend multiple viewings with him, saying that he is not sharp in the slightest, and never bucks, broncs or does any antics of that sort, he is a good boy really!!

- 🐁Tango🐁

14.2hh fully registered Connemara gelding, Gwennic de goarvia X I Love you Melody, 6yo

Tango is an incredibly smart, correct and talented little horse

He has mainly been hacking with the odd Riding club pole clinic with his owner that has limited facilities so he is relatively new to schooling and jumping but a very quick learner and ready to crack on with someone

He has been around a course of showjumps, he is amazing out hacking, super in traffic and has all the skills and give the feeling of a real little eventing pony, he is also stunning with really good breeding so would be a wonderful worker and would do really well showing, he is a beautiful looking pony, very intelligent and with a kind personality

⚠️PLEASE NOTE⚠️

They are all young horses so please not nervous, wobbly, novice riders unless incredibly well supported and understanding of the wonderful journey that is taking on a greener horse

All incredibly polite and well behaved on the ground, their prices will increase the more they do, they are all entered for outings and events

Very happy to produce further on behalf of a new owner

We are eventing all weekend so viewings starting from next week please

✨ Shannon ✨

Shannon is a wonderful 15hh, 14yo CHAPS registered traditional cob mare… but if in your mind a cob is meant to be a ploddy seaside donkey, you might need to think again!

She’s what I’d call a proper power cob, she’s got a big, brave jump, a seriously lovely canter, and plenty of engine under the bonnet.

She’s forward going and enjoys her work, but she’s not silly or sharp, just a fun, capable little mare who likes to get on with things.

She’s safe, sensible and genuine, but she is active, uphill and has big, expressive paces for a little horse, so sadly she won't suit a novice, she needs someone balanced and established in their riding to really enjoy her.

She’s spent most of her life as a happy hacker and has seen plenty of the world, and more recently she’s started doing a bit of schooling. She’s taken to it really naturally, she’s got a super consistent rhythm, stays soft and easily in an outline in a snaffle, and doesn’t lean or pull. She has a naturally uphill way of going and a big, floaty canter that would make her a really interesting little dressage or showing prospect.

That said, she’s just as happy pottering round the village on the buckle. She really is one of those horses that can step up or down depending on what you ask of her, she’ll quite happily have a quiet hack one day and gallop and jump around a funride the next

Hacking is where she really shines. She’s good in traffic, happy to go out on her own or in company, and will go first or last without any fuss. She’s great in open spaces and enjoys a canter but doesn’t take hold or get strong, and definitely isn’t the type to pull your arms out or get silly. She’ll go through water, steps, ditches, pop logs and cross country fences, she just gets on with it and enjoys herself.

She does pop around a course, loves a funride and doesn't mind cross country fences. She’s bold, genuine and really seems to love jumping.

She’d make a cracking riding club, Pony Club, hunting cob or all-round fun little horse for someone who wants something a bit more capable than your average cob. She will also suit and elderly lady in the hunting field as she never is strong nor silly

On the ground she’s an absolute sweetheart. She loves a fuss and will quite happily stand there all day being groomed. She’s easy to have on the yard, good to catch, good to turnout, and happily lives in or out.

She gets on with mares and geldings and just minds her own business. She’s good for the farrier and vet, loads easily and travels like a dream, she is just a nice, straightforward mare to deal with in every way.

She’s had a low mileage life, so there’s plenty left in the tank for someone to go out and really enjoy her and bring her on that bit further.

She would suit a keen teenager, small adult, or potentially a mother/daughter share, as long as the rider is confident and balanced. She’s the kind of cob people dream of finding when they want something fun and capable, but without the sharpness you can get in blood horses or warmblood types.

But I’ll say it again! She is forward, she has a proper jump, and she will not suit a novice or unbalanced rider. With a good balanced rider she will be an absolute joy and a real rosette machine.

💰 Just over mid 4 figures, including her £2.5k 😱😱 made-to-measure chunky monkey saddle

You can’t buy this kind of mind anywhere 🥰

Baby Coby has only schooled a few times so far, we’ve been focusing on hacking him and exploring out and about to strengthen him and show him the world.

I don’t like going in circles with the wobbly bum high 4yos, at this age, there are so many more benefits from exploring outside the arena than from just schooling every day.

It happened to be “official plaited-up schooling day” for Coby… right when our local farmer came to spread the muck in our fields!

So, in the background, there was either a huge tractor with a muck spreader whizzing around the field or a JCB loading up the muck into said trailer.

Did Coby flinch or looked at it twice? Nope.

Was the weather baby-horse proof? Nope.

Is my arena baby-horse proof? Nope.

Did Coby care? Nope.

Did he try his very best and squeeze his little black-and-white brain to give absolutely everything I asked? Absobloodylutely!

Young horses with this good mind are a true needle in a hay barn and we do HUNDREDS babies per year!

Apologies for the obnoxious background noise left on but it's for you to realise how loud it actually was and how little Coby cared (or should I say not at all 😂)

With a little pre-announcement…

I don’t usually go for coloured cobs, they really have to be something special to come through our doors.

At the moment I have two that are exactly that, both are athletic, quality movers and, importantly, I know that most cobs seems to fall either into the strong or lazy category, these two are neither

So, here’s a little sneak peek of the first one who’s now ready to find his new human…

Coby 🐼 is a REGISTERED coloured cob gelding, we don't do bog standards here! 4 years old and currently standing at a big 14.2hh. He is very bum high, so should easily make around 15hh

He’s a really eye-catching little horse with the most beautiful head, and he moves incredibly well with a correct, athletic way of going.

Super natural he finds an easy outline and a carry himself in a very plain snaffle, he doesn't pull or lean, he has a wonderful soft mouth

He’s already had a very good basic education and has such a lovely attitude to his work, he is brave, willing, unspooky and honestly quite wise beyond his years, proving a sensible nanny for others even being the youngest horse on the yard 😊.

If he didn't sound special enough already he is also an absolutely loving puppy on the ground he enjoys people and cuddles

He’s the sort that’s going to make a super little dressage or showing horse for someone wanting quality in a smaller package

He also jumps!!

Keep your eyes peeled for his full advert coming soon 👀

❤️ Emily 16.1hh, 10yo ISH Mare ❤️

Emily is a petite, athletic mare with a big stride, plenty of scope, and huge potential.

She has done a bit of everything in Ireland hunted, jumped showjumping tracks, and cross country. She is a brave, careful jumper who is forward-thinking. She gives a fantastic feeling over a fence, naturally lifting through her shoulders and pinging off the ground. She has a super technique and is unfazed by fillers, water trays, skinnies, etc.

Emily has an incredible engine and a powerful, active hind end. She rides much bigger than she looks and is a sensitive, hotter type, so won’t suit everyone. She thrives on consistent work with good turnout—this is essential for her.

We feel she has mainly been a “fun, charge-around” type of horse rather than having a fully established education. Because of this, we’d ideally like to see her go to a hacking, hunting, or team chasing home where she can continue doing what she loves—going forward and jumping, rather than going in circles 4 times per week

That said, in the right hands, with time, patience, and correct production she has all the attributes to develop into a very bold and exciting event horse.

Although green for her age (likely due to amateur/teenage ownership rather than professional production), she is genuine and willing. Her flatwork and rideability between fences will continue to improve with correct schooling.

The jumping effort itself is never in question, she will take you to a fence and jump from any stride, she HAS brakes, she is not a flat galloping nut job. Balance and adjustability between fences will come with further education.

On the ground, Emily is as sweet as they come, kind, affectionate, and easy to handle. She will happily stand loose without headcollar and is very patient being tied up. She loves children, is good with dogs, sensible in traffic, and not mareish. Always snaffle-mouthed.

Out hacking, she is keen and enthusiastic but never naughty or spooky. Even when excited, she remains rideable, the worst she will do is have a little sideways jig jog. She is not sharp, nasty, or explosive, just enjoys getting out and about. She is great in company, happy to ride and lead or be led.

Now in regular work, she is improving weekly and can also have a couple of days off without issue.
She loads, travels, and is easy to do.

Emily is a bright, forward-thinking mare who needs a balanced rider with educated hands, someone who can keep her soft, long in the neck, and working through her back, especially to and away from a fence.

She is not strong, just enthusiastic and busy-minded, the type that often makes a top competition horse.

I have no doubt that, with time and correct production, she has everything needed to become a smart, classy event horse.

Offered as a project at a reduced price due to her age and current level of education, her owner is wanting something ploddier, having limited time to ride consistently.

Low–mid four figures

🚫 No novices or time wasters

Someone with experience of sharper, athletic types (e.g. ex-racehorses) will really appreciate her! She has all the engine, but with a better jump than most TBs. She would be incredibly fun to hunt or team chase.

Something a bit special has just arrived 😍

First sit on Ted on all 15.2hh of FULL Connemara beauty ✨

At just 4 years old, he’s already showing real potential and athleticism, alongside the sweetest, puppy-like personality 🐴💛

Very little fazes him (we love that in a young horse), and with looks like these… he really is a stunner. Kind, athletic, polite and sociable, basically the perfect husband 😂

He will be available once we’ve had a bit more time to get to know him and have taken him out to a few baby outings

If Fragola turned out to be a showjumper in disguise, then this one is even funnier! A TRADITIONAL CHAPS-registered 15hh mare that jumps like this?
😅

Shannon (13yo, 15hh, cob mare) is yet another super fancy, super fluffy, super feathery, super pingy superstar cob 🥰

It’s funny how they all seem to find me! 😂

09/03/2026

✨ Caffie ✨

Caffie or as I affectionately call her, “my little baby doll Princess C” is one of the sweetest, prettiest little horses we’ve had around in a while.

She is a 15.3hh, 5yo Connemara x ID mare with lovely breeding, and she truly has the best of both breeds.

If you could close your eyes and pick the most popular attributes of these two wonderful breeds, Caffie would be the result. She is compact and correct like an oversized Connemara, with a little more bone and athleticism from the draught side. She rides like a big pony but by no means has choppy paces, she is correct, balanced and powerful. You get the classic Connemara feel, with a bigger jump and a bigger canter thanks to the ID influence. She is a very cool and talented little mare.

The ears might be the only thing mum and dad didn’t quite agree on when creating such a picture-perfect mare, they might be slightly on the larger side from the draught side, but they just make her even more adorable and incredibly expressive. You always know exactly what she’s thinking!

This loving, trainable mare has really become a good friend of mine. We have developed a lovely relationship and trust each other immensely. Backed gently as a 4yo and then left to mature (which she definitely needed), she arrived understandably quite green a few weeks ago. What she has achieved in such a short time since settling in has been incredible.

She has started her jumping career under saddle with me and has already been around a course of jumps with fillers, been to arena hires, attended her first small competition and been introduced to cross-country fences. She improves every time she goes out and learns so much from each session. She is incredibly rewarding to ride and absorbs information like a sponge.

Caffie is very trusting of her rider, but due to her age she will need a confident and experienced rider to continue showing her the way. Once she understands what is being asked, she genuinely tries her heart out for you.

She could excel in many spheres , from showing to eventing or she would make a fantastic ride for a lady in the hunting field thanks to her sure-footedness and lovely jump.

She hacks both alone and in company, is not spooky or silly, and is very good in traffic. She has quickly learned to ride and lead (both being led from another horse and leading off herself). She is sensible in open spaces and is always ridden in a snaffle. She doesn’t get involved in other horses’ drama, if something around her is fresh or silly she remains polite and rather take guidance from her rider than from other horses

On the ground she is impeccably mannered and a pleasure to do everything with. Her personality has really started to blossom and it’s been lovely to see her come out of her shell. She has become an incredibly cuddly, friendly little horse who genuinely enjoys being around people (don’t be surprised if she follows you around the stable when you’re mucking out!). She is always sweet and kind, never bargy or demanding.

I am truly enjoying producing her, she is such a rewarding little horse.

If someone would like to keep her with me for further production I would be very happy to continue riding her. Otherwise she will suit an experienced home looking for a clever, bright, fun young horse to compete and enjoy.

She is not suitable for a novice purely because she is a green 5-year-old, and I want the very best home for her where she can continue to be produced sympathetically and correctly as she deserves.

It would be lovely to see her out competing, but an experienced non-competitive home would also be very welcome. She loves her hacking and exploring the countryside and is a very enjoyable horse to take out on a sunny Saturday.

“I don’t need to put my stirrups up… I won’t get jumped off by a cob.”

Fragola🍓: "hold my beer"🍺

One stride later… reconsidering life choices while Frag is whistling away.

Also WHO INVENTED GP SADDLES 😭😭😭

She may be little.
She may look sweet.
But she launches
Pocket rocket energy only 🚀✨

Our fabulous Frag 🥰

🍓 Fragola 🍓

Buckle up for another yard favourite!! 😂

If you think you know what a cob is supposed to feel like, think again!

Fragola is honestly one of the most athletic, quality little mares I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting on.

She just shouldn’t be able to do what she does in a cob suit… but here we are.

6yo red roan cob cross mare
15.2/15.3hh
And absolutely FULL of presence.
She genuinely believes she’s a 5* event horse trapped in feathers.

This is not your average kick-along, leg-at-every-corner cob. She is uphill, long-legged, active and so incredibly quick off the floor. Her jump is enormous, careful and powerful and the feeling she gives over a fence is something you just don’t expect from this type. She would give plenty of warmbloods a serious run for their money.

She’s what I’d call a proper power cob ⚡

On the flat she is uphill and has a big, expressive canter and stays in a soft snaffle. She’s naturally forward but not silly, she just has an engine. She wants to go out and do a job. She would be absolutely wasted as a plodder.

And that’s what makes her so special.

Quality like this in a cob is incredibly hard to find. They simply don’t come along like her very often. She is a real one-in-a-million type

She hacks beautifully:
✔ Good in traffic
✔ Happy alone or in company
✔ Will leave others without fuss
✔ Rides and leads
✔ Sensible in open spaces

She’s bright, nosey and full of character, always interested in what’s going on but never nasty or dirty. Just a clever, enthusiastic little mare who enjoys life.
She has had a lovely grounding. Previously in a family home in Ireland, she has since turned her hoof to being a very smart all-rounder.

She’s been on fun rides, jumped courses, tackled water, ditches and banks, and absolutely thrives on it. The more she jumps, the better she gets.

I would LOVE to see her produced properly for eventing, WH classes, showjumping, PC / RC or even hunting (she will be unreal over hedges!)

She has the scope, the bravery and the brain.

On the ground she’s an absolute sweetheart. Stands to be fussed for hours and is incredibly affectionate, she loves attention so much that if she thinks you’ve moved on too quickly, she’ll tap the stable door to remind you she exists 😂

She’s good to handle, good for farrier and vet, loads straight away and travels like a dream.

But!! And I can’t stress this enough!! She is NOT for a novice. She is powerful, active and has a serious jump that will unseat someone less balanced. She needs someone established in their riding and capable who wants a talented horse with an engine. In the right hands she will be a total rosette machine.

She is the kind of cob people dream of finding when you want something capable but not sharp or silly like warmbloods and blooded horses can be!

I would be very happy to produce her further and compete her on behalf of the new owner

She is athletic, quality, eye-catching and properly talented.

They really are few and far between.
