Dragon Driving
The amazing Louis is looking for a new postcode. A stunning 16.2hh bay Standardbred, 6 years old, who is learning to turn his hooves to anything.
He is a standardbred that has raced in a trap, which he did very well. Since owning Louis we have done unaffiliated showjumping where he's proved himself to be amazingly consistent, although still green. He's extremely willing with a trainable attitude. Louis is amazing in all traffic, with farm machinery, etc. He does love a one-to-one with his loveable attitude. He loves to be fussed and loved.
He turns out with mares, geldings and stallions. Louis is a legend that will melt everyone's heart. Usually good most of the time to clip, good with the farrier, up to date with all vacations, travels well. Plenty of videos on request.

Dave's a beautiful gelding I have owned for the last 5 years. He has been everything I could have ever asked for & I'm not even sure that I'm going to let him go but I'm considering giving up owning horses all together. He has been a horse to enjoy hacking, rounding up cattle in general just a companion in whatever I do.
But he isn't easy. Easy for me but only cause I know him. So really hard to honestly advertise. Definitely not for novice owners. For me he hacks out alone or in company, quite the jumper also I haven't done much with him other then the odd natural obstacle. He has been driven single & pairs last time he was driven was in 2022. In his past he done some cross country & showing but that was before my time. He is good with farrier has his teeth done every year. Never been sick or lame other then an abscess.
Please contact me first, I think this might matter as we are in an unfortunate location of the north west Highlands of Scotland in case you looking to make the transport worth it.

16.3hh STAGBI bred mare Coalford Affection, very well bred. Ride and drive. Bred some good stock. Bred many good winning track horses. Bred a horse that has won many trophies called Coalford Dude. Bred a good coloured filly called I'm a Star who went down the Spine Road at 3.59 as a two year old. Bred another good coloured filly that went down the Api e road as a two year old in only 3.59, filly broke the record. She's done 15.9 herself on the track. Bred a real good half bred dapple grey two year old filly Sam Wilky sold for 20k.
She has a colt foal on her, very strong, good bone, genuine half bred. The full brother to the dapple grey filly that got sold for 20k. He's grey around the eyes and muzzle so should turn grey himself. He should finish off around 16hh plus. His father is the dapple grey stallion in the picture, he stands 15.3hh, stepping cob.
She's back in foal to a 15.2hh palomino stallion which will leave a genuine half bred foal for next year. Has a good chance to produce palomino.

16hh 4 year old gelding ride and drive 100% bombproof cob. Show quality cob. Excellent temperament. Riding school / RDA candidate. Safe and sane. Lovely character - good to do in all ways! What a serious cob true to the stamp. Where do you find them like him any more?! This horse is 16hh high and 16hh wide - built exactly the right way.
What a quality animal. The pictures really do not do this cob any justice. This animal you would see in the right dealers yard for £15-20k in my opinion. When they are this safe, size and quality - they are worth it. Good to load, travel, shoe, bath - do in all ways. A proper gentleman and great temperament.
Came direct from a family in ireland who I am friends with. Hasn't seen the UK market before. Passported. Any vetting welcome. 40+ videos available via WhatsApp of this horse riding / driving with us and back in Ireland. Based in Billericay, Essex. Delivery available.

3 Dutch harness horses + 2 carriages, complete driving package. A rare opportunity to purchase a complete Dutch harness driving setup. The horses were bought for my ex-partner to establish the driving business she wanted but unfortunately the business never got off the ground. As a result they have been very lightly used with only around 8–9 outings in the last 18 months.
Gabba, versatile ride & drive, able to work both single and in pair. Bee Bee & Geegee, an experienced driving pair with the knowledge and experience to work together and provide an excellent foundation for regular driving, showing or competition. Show carriage included. Training carriage included.
This is a great opportunity for someone wanting a complete setup without having to source horses and carriages separately. The horses are now ready for someone to put them back into regular work and make the most of their ability and potential. Photos and videos available. Genuine enquiries welcome.

Kalamanda, ready for her next season hunting. Honest advert, 16.2hh French trotter 5 years old. Safe & sensible but not a novice ride as she can get excited in company but never nasty. She's a fun ride will jump anything you put her to poles, fences, hedges you name it she's done it. She's been hunting last season, good with the hounds, can be strong but still listens on the field has very good manners.
Good for the farrier, to be clipped and to load, no problems at all. Reason for selling her is because I just don't have the time she deserves. She's been turned out for the past few months, recently been wormed. She's a very fast mare been clocked doing 37mph in the cart we've had her in a few times with us but did more in her previous home.
She's safe as anything on the road, we've done a lot of hacking on the road and the fields which she's perfect. She's a sweet girl and deserves the best home she won't just go to anyone, 5* home only.
