Phoenix competes in coloured horse classes and also Maxi cob classes

He gives an exceptional ride and is always very mannerly for the ride judge, often scoring highest ride marks in his classes

Phoenix is a schoolmaster and knows his job in the ring

He also is fantastic to hack, and absolutely loves it!

Due to his lovely rhythmical and uphill paces I feel he would also be well suited to dressage.

He is Freisian X so feel this is certainly something he could excel in

He turns heads wherever he goes, he really is an oustanding horse!

Sadly available on behalf of his owner as her circumstances have changed

Whilst he is an incredibly genuine and kind horse, he would not be suited to a novice due to his size

His made to measure Black Country saddle and a Premier Equine wardrobe also available

Marco, 2020, 17.2 Irish Draught 9” bone.

Marco was backed and ridden away by myself last year, after doing a few in hand shows he was then left to mature over the winter.

Marco has just come back to me from “boot camp” where he has had some fantastic ground work put in place in the school, but has mostly been out and about hacking and seeing the world (happy for anyone to speak to riders) He’s taken to it all like a duck to water, and loves to please. A real people person who thrives off attention.

Never been rushed or had too much asked of him as these big horses take some time to mature and fill into their big frame. Our plans for the summer where to get him out in some hunt rides, farm park rides and just show him the world followed by some time with the hounds, but due to a drastic change in our personal circumstances it’s not going to be manageable.

Good with farrier, vet, physio, to clip etc. No quirks but does have a blemish on a hock after an accident as a foal, he has never been lame with it nor does it cause any issues. He has been hogged (first picture) but it’s growing back currently

Delighted to showcase this super cob with so much potential!!

Willy is an exceptional stamp of a heavy cob with fantastic foundations laid for exciting future ahead of him ! He has hunted, xc schooled , fun rides , boxed away to arena hires and woods for fun hacking been shown and placed at county level with fantastic comments from judges referencing great potential to be successful as a maxi cob !

To ride Willy is a super responsive and forward enjoyable ride , with no ridden vices, he has never reared, spun , napped or bucked. Willy is a sensitive forward turbo cob so no novices please! He is brave hacking solo and in company, and sensible in open fields where he is regularly ridden next to the M4 motorway. He loves jumping and has a great brain.

Willy currently lives out 24/7, he wintered in without turning into a dragon ! He’s an excellent doer and lives off fresh air . Fantastic to clip, trim, brush ect

William is looking for a confident rider to have lots of fun on him and produces him up the levels in the showing world or eventing and showjumping !

Mootlite For Cob Sake (Pippa) 155cm 6yo Mare

Pippa is your ultimate all-rounder and the type that will see generations in a family through any discipline. Broken as a 3yo and turned away, she has been professionally produced from a 4 year old. Her achievements to date have far surpassed any expectation I ever had and as such this is a hard decision.

Pippa is an extremely comfortable enjoyable forward ride with 3 well established mannerly paces. Great confirmation with no lumps bumps or blemishes. She is bidable and honest in every sense and loves to jump both SJ & XC. She has schooled over coloured poles at 90cm with plenty of untapped potential in this area as she has a clean, careful and powerful natural jump. Pippa has competed in dressage and behaved impeccably with her most recent score at a local training show in January 2025 of 75%.

Full history is known and while she does not have breeding recorded, she is half Irish Cob (dame) and draught (Sire). Pippa has the most wonderful temperament and is a firm favourite in the yard as she is extremely easy to do anything with including farrier, clipping, travelling, washing, lunging, over-night trips and will happily live in or out.

Pippa loves to hack alone or in company and is the most unflappable mare. She does not take a second look at traffic, animals in fields or other road users and has been used to lead out younger horses because of this strength. Your biggest challenge hacking is a loose rein and high grass as she does like a quick nibble. While, she has already proven her worth in every sense, there is so much more in the tank with Pippa and she is now primed for her next home.

4th balmoral LW cobs. Initially placed 1st however, ran out of steam for the ride judge.

3 measurements to date at 155cm recorded on book (most recent was January 2025)

Vaccinations up to date (January 2025)

Recent check in’s with Physio and Dentist and no issues.

Pippa does have sweetitch which was known when I bought her. This has been correctly managed with diet, herbal supplements and appropriate rugging. It has only ever been evident in her mane and tail and face and has never manifested on her body. It has never come against her in the ring as once managed, is unnoticeable.

Pippa is currently based in Kilkenny in Ireland.

He is the sweetest boy to have around and would easily home produce and be a great contender for the amateur/SEIB circuit.

He was broken last year and had the summer out to mature. He’s now fully back in work and attended a few clinics and training days where he has proved to be a star, easy and willing, he has a fantastic brain and loves to work.

He’s a forward and responsive ride without being strong or silly.

Texas is an eye catching dapple grey cob with bags of presence and a super kind easy nature.

He is a true top class all rounder and has competed in dressage , jumped and been on farm rides.

I’m sure he would also excel on the hunting field and the show ring , he has the most comfortable canter you could happily sit on him all day.

He hacks out really well alone and in company and is just a pleasure to have on the yard and do. He has a lovely soft mouth and is very sweet and eager to please his rider.

This is a heartbreaking sad sale of a much loved horse who is only available due to his owner being unable to keep him due to health reasons
