Selling points: “This Connemara/thoroughbred is a very smart horse with lovely paces. He has competed in one-day events, jumping clear across country and in the showjumping and he also goes well on the flat. He has won show hunter championships at local level and has hunted. He hacks alone or in company and is good in traffic, to clip, shoe and has a snaffle mouth.”

Height: 16.1hh
Gender: gelding
Age: five
Selling points: “This Irish gelding has hunted regularly and is beautifully behaved. He is snaffle mouthed and jumps every thing he is put at. He did a few 90cm eventing competitions at the end of last season when he was four where he jumped double clear and was placed in the top 10 in each one. He is a real sweetie in and out of the stable and hacks alone or in company.”
Selling points: “This small horse would be ideal for a competitive teenager or small adult. He is jumping clear rounds around 80am and 90cm tracks with scope to go much bigger. He is scoring over 72% in the dressage and is a super-fun little horse that could excel in any discipline. He is fast against the clock and has recently jumped clear in some arena eventing competitions. He hacks well both by himself and in company and is 100% on the roads. He is an extremely fun little horse with character to burn.”
Selling points: “This horse is an absolute gentleman. He has fantastic paces and is a very genuine jumper so would excel in any discipline. He has the movement for dressage, is so straightforward cross-country — he never waivers or pulls, just point and shoot. He is always snaffle-mouthed and a straightforward ride. He is good to hack and easy to deal with — he just always wants to please. He would be an absolute dream horse for so many people.”
Selling points: “Rosie is a super-genuine all-rounder who excels in all three disciplines. She’s an easy going type and has manners to burn, whether it be in the stable, on the yard or at a show. She is lovely to ride on the flat, very willing and is a responsive, straightforward ride. She’s never silly or sharp and would suit a variety of riders. She has a bold, scopey jump and is unfazed by fillers, ditches, hedges etc. She jumps off any stride and always helps her rider out. She is super cross-country and has hunted in Ireland. This is a great fun confidence giver that hacks alone or in company, she’s a lovely forward responsive ride and always snaffle mouthed. She’s a real gem and one of the most reliable horses I’ve sat on.”
