Rocky - 15.2hh approx 2008 coloured LW cob gelding (PC / Jump / Allrounder) 

Rocky is fun lightweight cob, Rocky has been in a long term home doing pony club and jumping recently was sold to a new home after been outgrown and just due to a previous experience owner has decided she is giving up. 

So we would like a fun home for Rocky. 

His schooling is basic and steady we’ve had all ages riding him. We took him out jumping he defo steps up a gear for jumping and knows his job well his careful and would be competitive against the clock. 

He hacks alone or in company. 

Snaffle mouthed for hacking schooling maybe needs abit more for someone smaller for jumping him.

He does have to be lead in a bridle or chain over nose headcollar else he just takes u where he wants to go. Doesn’t pull or even look if wearing bridle or chain.

Is great to be around good to clip and shoe. pulls odd face but has got better the more he has gotten to know us doesn’t follow anything through just pulls face ! 

Needs a home when he can be enjoyed have some fun his a lovely Allrounder he will do a little PC test from time to time but won’t be a dressage horse .

He basically can be abit of a grumpy man so needs someone assertive and not offended. More he knows you better he is and his also a great guy !! Knows his job price reflects this. 

For sale on behalf of client.

Brought back into work (after 2023 foal) a month or so ago for owner who’s circumstances have now changed

Likes a busy yard and lots of horses around

Good in traffic, not spooky and is a good babysitter but needs to get to know her new area before confidently hacking alone

Busy in the school but has all the moves on the flat easy lateral work and has a change each way was previously schooled AM level but not competed

Have been told she loves to jump and has a BS record and is an absolute machine xc but I’ve not got a jump/gp saddle that fits her atm

Equally could be a broodmare last foaled last year has had a couple of foals but won’t take AI so natural covering only I’m told she’s a fantastic mum

She wasn’t hammered in her competitive life and hasn’t had any issues or maintenance injections that we know of and she’s had the last 4+ years off having babies

super smart all rounder/show/worker.

Types like this are hard to find, she’s got super conformation/limbs/lots of bone and lovely movement.

She’s straight forward to do and deal with.

Gives a nice ride, not sharp or silly in any way.

Wouldn’t suit a total novice as still needs experience but is very willing to learn.

Shows lots of promise over a fence.

We are going to take her xc schooling as soon as weather allows.

Open to any vetting.

Striking black super cob standing at a full up 16hh. This 2020 gelding has plenty to offer! He’s very much an old head on young shoulders and is one of the easiest, safest cobs to come through the yard.

Thunder is a gentleman to have around, he is kind, laid back and affectionate, a very chilled horse in the yard and paddock.

He has three extremely comfortable paces, snaffle mouthed and will ride completely off your voice, doesn’t mind if you get unbalanced, wobbly or worried, he will take care of you.

He has hunted, cross country schooled and he has jumped all of our coloured fillers, he isn’t spooky in any way shape or form and will give you utter confidence when you come across scary situations!

Thunder is careful over fences, he is happy to jump from trot or canter and doesn’t care if you get left behind or you are nervous.

This lad would look after any type of rider, he is equally more than enough quality to do showing. Thunder will hack for hours on the buckle, he doesn’t get lit up in groups or open spaces, and you can ride through the worst traffic possible and he will just take it all in his stride.

A rare find, flawless in every way. Open to any vet or trainer.

Tj is a smashing 16.2 chesnut Throughbred. He will do anything you put him up to do. He loves cross country and going through fields and jumping he also does like to come back to the arena to do some showjumping.

Tj is so honest and there is not a bad bone in his body. I am very disappointed in having to sell this lovely horse as he has never put a foot wrong and is easy to shoe, box, etc. but I have no time for horses anymore and it would be pity to see such a fine horse go to waist

Searching For A Steady, Trustworthy Family Friend

  • Kind & Knowledgeable Family Home Offered
  • To Enjoy Hacking, Lots Of Forest Rides & Occasional Clinics

** Please contact me via whattsapp, by phone call or email, as I do not always receive normal text messages - thank you **

Due to the sad retirement of my beautiful horse, I am now searching for a steady, trustworthy best friend to enjoy new adventures with. We have a super, kind & knowledgeable family home along with my retired boy, our daughter’s pony & our 2 Shetlands. Our horses are treated as part of our family & receive the absolute best of care & I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, I am a middle-aged mum who has been mostly out of the saddle over the last four years (due to my horses ongoing health issues) so I am certainly no longer as confident as I used to be! I look forward to enjoying much more sedate adventures nowadays, so I am seeking a laid-back best friend who does not require a fast-paced way of life or need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying leisurely hacks, attending organised pleasure rides, lots of forest trips & maybe the odd clinic but nothing competitive. I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her pony so it is especially important that I find a truly steady, trustworthy type who I can depend on.
Our horses are kept at home with us, so he/she needs to be gentle natured, enjoy attention & be safe to handle on the ground as the children are often around with me.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, it is likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle, so it is very important that my new horse is trustworthy around this type of traffic. Although I will often hack out with my daughter or friends, I will also be hacking alone at times so he/she must be happy/safe hacking out solo.

I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ or ‘bombproof’ & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would wish to have the horse vetted.

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.
