New arrivals to keep your eyes on if you are looking for a happy hacking/amateurs ODE little horse 👀👀

Fizz 15hh little eventer type, she has only just arrived and has been incredibly sensible hacking out in company and on her own so far 🤞🏼🤞🏼

She has also been very delightful on the ground, being in a new place with a lot of horses and stuff going on around her, she has been very settled

Very pretty 14yo coloured mare, she has done a bit of everything including completing a couple of Cotswold cups last year with his loan rider

She will now be looking for a forever new home due to owner's lack of time, after a couple of weeks to come back into work with us

Fun weekend at

Little Charlie and lovely Misty were superb at their first ever competition

Charlie, the mini schooling livery was a good boy to come 2nd with me and 3rd with his little rider Ottilie 🥰

Misty (14.3hh class one registered 5yo, Connemara mare) was the star of the day, cool, calm, collected and incredibly smart for her first ever time experiencing a warm up and a competition environment

She did two beautiful, accurate tests to come home with not one BUT TWO WINS with a whopping 77.5% and 78.4% 🏆🏆🥇🥇

Quick turnaround when we got home to pick up my own Danu and baby Cha-cha (14.2hh Connemara mare 5yo) to head to their first ever fun ride with the VWH Fun Rides at Cirencester Park

Danu was surprisingly sensible and enjoyable 90% of the time, I think she was just glad that I finally let her gallop as fast as she wanted 😂😂 and Cha-cha was just wonderful taking care of nervous rider Lorna Walters that was thrown in at the deep end having never ridden her before and being nervous of jumping

Fair to say that Cha-cha was so good that by the end Lorna was happily jumping all the bigger fences 🤗🤗 wonderful little mare that never says no

It was lovely to meet up with previous CDM Equestrian graduates Conner and Elsa we all had a great time and lots of learning for the babies

Below a gorgeous plaited up Misty ready for her dressage and a very happy Cha-cha in her element jumping the iconic horse shoe fence in Cirencester Park and just a cute piccy of rising 4yos Theo (15.2hh Connemara X ISH) and Woody (17hh Clydesdale X WB) that were ever so tired to come in to have food on their day off 😂😂

Thank you so much to Lorna for being chauffeur while I am looking to buy yet ANOTHER towing car, Shelley and Caroline for babysitting Lea during the dressage and the funride 🤗🤗 organisers of both events (especially Brook Stud Events being so patient with me changing plans overnight around 50 billion times, always a great place for the babies with everyone being so accommodating and relaxed)

Onto the next one! Hopefully with a cross country course involved too 🤭😁

Cha-cha being a saint with little terror 😂

Cha-cha is available, lovely stamp of a Connemara mare, superb breeding, amazing jumper, 5yo, chunky full up 14.2hh little power house 🥰

05/04/2025

The smallest of our schooling livery 🤩

💙 Charlie 💙 pony at 11.3hh ish had his first jump with me the other day

He came for some producing and to learn to enjoy his job and not stress about it after a bit of a confusing start to his ridden career

Now he is hopefully almost ready to have his little person on board to have lots of fun together over the summer

She is so gorgeous she deserves her own post, new breaking livery Grace, 4yo 16.2hh ID cross mare, an absolute lovely, big quality, big moving mare that I personally searched in Ireland through our awesome contacts up there

She is everything we expected and more, proving very sweet to start and an increadibly genuine type

It also helps that she is so beautiful 🥰

We very happily and successfully search horses and ponies for clients both broken in and unbroken and produce them to whatever level the new owners desire

How do we manage to fit so much in one day?

By having relaxed, educated and polite horses, and yes they all get there eventually (unless something sinister/medically wrong is brewing somewhere) !!

Belle and Vic being the perfect example that it is in fact possible to have a full Draught and a full Thoroughbred listening, behaving and being patient just as well as each other and that multitasking while horseying around with multiple horses is doable

Lead two or three at the time while putting jumps out, warming one up while cooling the other down, standing patiently waiting for their turn

Manners manners manners!! Polite horses are happy horses!! They trust us fully to make decisions on their behalf and they don't have the stress of trying to find solutions themselves, they live a much more enjoyable and relaxed life, and so do we!!

No we don't bribe them with treats, (absolutely NO hand feeding unless for clinical reasons) no we don't clicker train them, parelli train them, Monty Roberts, TRT methods and all those fashionable things that we see everywhere nowdays

They are well fed, TURNED OUT EVERYDAY, WELL SOCIALISED and in a solid routine, they are not bothered by human interaction every 5 minutes, they are left being horses after working and trying hard for us

They are shod/treated by an amazing farrier, a talented chiropractor, a fabulous vet and a careful saddle fitter (yes all of them hard to find, but they are out there)

They are never asked anything out of their potential/experience, we set them up to succeed, not push them hard to fail.

Each one of them is trained at their own speed and not according to what's expected of them because of their breeding, age or potential

They are all offered a calm but firm approach and training methods, perseverance and patience on our behalf. Some appreciate a scratch as a reward others just need a minute pressure free to mentally assimilate what they have just learnt

We have had 10 yos that still pick up the wrong canter lead and 3 yos that find life incredibly easy and are wise beyond their years, little cobs that jump better than showjumpers and beautifully bred dressage horses that hate going in circles and would rather jump a hedge

Don't get stuck on prejudice and expectations, enjoy the journey, have common sense and don't ask too much of them, wait for the day they find one step easy to make the next one, don't keep practicing exhaustingly because you need "to get it right" and get experience, spread the workload so that it's fair on your horse, it might take a day for some and a year for others

Back to these two lovelies, they couldn't be more the opposite of each others, they are both very enjoyable in so many ways and they both have their minor faults, which doesn't make them a failure just more suitable for a certain life/career rather than another

Belle is a very traditional (although small at 15.2hh) 11yo older, wiser steadier, stockier ID mare, and Vic is a very bonny, talented, fun and athletic young TB, both wonderful in so many ways

As previously announced 📢📢

Anyone looking for a loyal little mare, look no further 🥰🥰

🪭 CHA-CHA 🪭

The first one ready to find a new home out of the bunch of lovely 5yos we have is the wonderful Cha-cha

Cha-cha is an incredibly well bred, BIG 14.2hh Connemara mare, rising 5yo and built like an absolute UNIT, she is bum high and expected to finish around the 15hh mark.

The pictures don't do her any justice she is a real little stocky and at the same time, athletic type.

Cha-cha is a very intelligent, bright, quick thinking (never in a bad way) and forward ride. She has an impressive engine for a young horse and for a pony of her size and experience, but for the exact same reason she is not suitable for a novice and/or young rider, being a combination of powerful and green but she is genuine and never naughty or cheeky (no bucking, broncing, rearing, napping nonsense)

Cha-cha hacks beautifully in company and on her own in front and behind, she can be a bit more looky when in front or on her own, with the odd spook but nothing you wouldn't expect from a clever and attentive young mare. With that being said you can kick her past anything and she will never spin around/run back home. She is well behaved cantering in a group and always in a snaffle, she loves to have a job. She is great in any traffic, including tractors, buses, bicycles, dog walkers etc... She is very polite to ride and lead, being both the lead horse or the one being led (always just in a headcollar)

She is good with other horses, both mares and geldings and not kicky, squeaky or mareish, we often squeeze past her and bump into her with all types of different horses, mare, geldings, little and large ones and she never flinches or show signs of grumpiness. She is polite and friendly on the ground, easy to catch, load, travel, with the farrier and vet/chiropractors etc..

Cha-cha jumps well around a course with fillers proving very brave and never saying no, she has an incredible amount of scope and covers horse distances easily, I think a jumping home would be her life calling and I believe she will make all the way to the top as a 148 prospect.

Cha-cha has been cross country schooling last year before her winter break and went into water, over ditches/skinny fences/steps etc... Easily popping around 90 and some of the 100 fences

She is also a very correct big mover, she works in a lovely outline, with a big canter and a flashy trot, she has a really good marching walk on her too, she is just a little power house and a very exciting young mare for someone that can appreciate a powerful but green pony

I am increadibly fond of this little mare and she has come a very long way, she has a heart of gold and like any wonderful mare (if you had the joy to own one you know) she is as brave as a lion and would do anything and everything for her person, she is a one to one type that will give you her best once she gets to know you.

No she won't be suitable for your 9 yo novice daughter to go to PC nor for the wobbly happy hacker that rides once a week, but yes for a gutsy teenager that wants to have fun and jump big hedges out hunting or big tracks one day, or a small adult wanting a little horse with big aspirations 😊 she is an exciting competition mare for someone out there that wants a fun, talented kind of ride

Did you know our breakers are toddler and puppy proof?

The youngest member of the team always wants to be the first one to sit on board, doesn't matter how sensitive/ feral/ scared 😂😂

She is braver than me and that takes some balls 😂🙈

The loveliest Banjo, probably the most sensitive/nervous breaker we have had in the last year is turning into quite the sweetheart and enjoying a baby Lea's cuddle this evening

Little snippet of Belle 11yo 15.2hh full ID mare, fantastic, safe all-rounder that has done a bit of everything

Full advert to follow

These two wonderful girls were very sweet at their first outing to the lovely indoor at Malthouse Farm Livery and Stables after coming back into work from their winter breaks

Fully registered well bred Connemara mares, 5yos Misty that is a sporty gorgeous type and Cha-cha, chunkier more traditional power house

Both have been cross country schooling and around a course and riding well on the flat for their age

Incredible manners as you can see in the little snippet below holding eachother's leadropes over their necks

Official adverts to come soon 🥳

🦄 Time has come for Pepper to find her new best friend (very sadly, she is a yard favourite to say the least) 🦄

Pepper 14.2hh 4yo Connemara mare, class 1 breeding all along and N/N for HWSD is back into full work after her winter break

She was just very gently sat on as a 3yo and walked, trotted, cantered away last year and now she has slowly been brought back into work over the last couple of months

This little mare is the perfect bundle of good looks and talent

She has been ridden by RIDERS with ANY SORT OF EXPERIENCE already and that alone says a lot about a baby horse, various people from young and still bouncy/unbalanced to older and nervous riders

I trust her to look after anyone that I put on board

Beautiful, correct conformation, short coupled with plenty of neck, athletic type with the most gorgeous feminine, dainty little head

You never see her grumpy or upset, she is always smiling and happy to do whatever she is asked, she is not at all mareish or opinionated like a lot of mares of her age, she just wants to be your best friend and to please you

Pepper has incredibly correct movements with a big, ground covering but very balanced canter for a little horse, obviously green due to her age but she will be impressive in the show ring or as a dressage pony

She has hacked in front, behind, in company, on her own, she rides and leads perfectly (both leading from and being led off), on the road, in traffic and in open spaces, I am still to find something that this little girl would shy away from, she is a bold, brave ride and always in a snaffle

She has a great careful jump on her, she reads the fence and uses her brain, she jumps all sorts of fillers and has been to a couple of outings already, she has been around a full course as well as in an indoor, proving brave, careful and giving everything a go

She marches out upfront and catches up easily with the big horses she has a great forward attitude to life, she has never put a hoof wrong from the first day she has worn a saddle, she doesn't buck, nap, bronc, rear, bolt, no nonsense for this little lady

She is incredibly friendly, loving but gentle and polite on the ground, she loves children, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for a little girl to have her, if Pepper could talk she would want to dress up for tea parties and turn into a unicorn, having her feet painted with glitter, she loves ANY sort of attention

She is good with the farrier, to load, travel, lead, wash off, tack up etc

She is one to snap up now before she starts competing and giving glimpses of what an amazing pony she will be (and expensive 🤣)

The tackless pictures are from a few months ago, she has grown and filled out in the meantime

Open to viewings/vettings/ family members and instructors but please no time wasters as we are plenty busy already

These two gorgeous boys didn't stay around for long 🥰

Oliver 🫒6yo 14.3hh dun cob gelding and his pal Godfrey 🍒 4yo 15.1hh strawberry roan cob gelding

Godfrey found his new home within 3 days and Oliver only after two weeks, didn't get around to advertise them nor even sit on Godfrey 🙈

Lovely sweet, genuine boys so polite and friendly

This is a pic of them when they just arrived from Ireland

If you are looking for some good cobs please message what you are after and bare with!! We have a couple of great contacts for them ☺️

Look at Pepper 🥰

4yo 14.2hh fully registered, absolute angel baby Connemara mare

This pony has it all, she has a good jump, great mover, gorgeous look and her manners are to die for, first time at this venue, patiently waiting for her turn

We adventured on Wednesday to Malthouse Lodge Farm Livery to use their lovely indoor arena

It was Pepper's first time in and indoor, she was absolutely foot perfect both to ride, jumping everything first time and not looking at a thing and to handle/wait for her mate Misty to have a ride, such a delightful baby 🥰

Impeccable manners and incredibly straightforward to ride, she will be an asset for anyone looking to produce a bold, talented, straightforward young pony 😊

Horsey friends!! Any recommendations for hay feeders for the fields? Boxes, haybells, anything ideally in the area, ideally that can be delivered, needs to be big enough to feed 4/5 horses and need multiple 3 to 6 depending on size and prices

Need to be delivered in Malmesbury area

I can't believe it's been a whole 6 years of having this little pony in our life 🥰

Time really flies, who would have thought back then he was going to be destined to be tortured by a little 2yo girl (3 next week!!) 6 years down the line 😂😂

I am only joking she is really nice to him and he is to her too ❤️

He is an absolute demoniac saint for the ones who know him, you guys know what I mean 😂, naughtiest and best behaved one we have

We love little Gigi he is great fun with a good sense of humour for the good riders, an absolute rock for baby Lea and more wobbly little ones

Both of them had a go at their first show last summer (and probably last 😂 although he was by far the nicest pony in the ring, there are much more fun things to do out there for a baby horse with a baby child)

Happy delayed birthday! To many more years together and to the day I will finally be brave enough to take him hunting, yes he is only 13.2hh no I am not joking 😂 🎉 🎂

Now that we got rid of all the ice and horrible weather this lovely boy is back looking for his new person

He needs someone experienced and understanding of sensitive and green horses

He will be a lovely project for someone, he is handsome, good moving, well bred and a real sweetheart that means no harm, very polite on the ground friendly with other horses both mares and geldings

13yo Welsh D cremello gelding that has done a bit of everything in the past with previous owner and had a big break (no injuries) since to then be moved onto the current owner

He is looking for a lovely hacking/hunting/funride home as nervous in the arena
