Bella has a lovely temperament , she has raced once but was too slow she is currently owned by a novice teenager who doesn’t have the time for her

If produced she could be a smart eventer or show horse as eligible for ROR classes she is good to hack alone / company and good with traffic we have seen , she has a bold jump and is very keen and really enjoys it ,

 She has been left out in a field all winter so is just starting back in work now ,so needs a bit more condition and fitness so an ideal project for someone to play with over the summer.

No novices please she is a TB and needs a knowledgable home to bring out the best in her

Good to handle with a kind nature and enjoys a fuss , good to box etc

Would be a lovely brood mare as has a super temperament.

Has been currently living out 24/7 and is good with other horses

  • Experienced all rounder... been there done it all!
  • Hunter, Cross Country, Show Jumping, Dressage
  • Ideal for Mother/Daughter share

Honey is a stunning 17 year old, 15.3hh, TB, chestnut, mare who is still in her prime with low milage. She has 3 correct paces and a bold, scopey jump, making her a brilliant all rounder with a lot of mileage left in her. Honey is forward going and certainly not a novice ride. She is currently being ridden in the school and hacked out by my confident, slight, 15 year old niece in snaffle bit. Our 12 year old son also rides her and regularly hacks her out. She loves a job and can turn her hoof to any discipline.

We have owned Honey for the past 4 years and during that time she has mainly hunted, hacked, riding club, attended pleasure rides as well as local, unaffiliated, show jumping. In her previous home Honey evented and showed RoR. Honey only had a short race career and last raced in March 2012. After retiring from racing she has been re-trained and schooled to a high standard.

On the hunt field Honey needs to be ridden up front as she can get excited and be strong. She will cover any ground and jumps any thing you point her at. Honey loves to hack out alone or in company and prefers to lead.

Honey is currently stabled at night and turned out during the day in a mixed herd. She will stand perfect for the farrier, dentist and be clipped. She is up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming.

Honey would be ideal for a Mother/Daughter share, riding club or grass roots eventing.

This is an extremely sad sale due to work commitments as we don't have the time that she requires. Honey will only go to a loving, experienced home.

Super model of a TB. Barney is a 15’2HH 11yo bay gelding. He works very nicely on the flat, with a lovely soft snaffle mouth.

He carries himself in a natural outline with 3 balanced paces. He rides like an overgrown pony and is so much fun. Barney has attended pony club rallies, pony club camps, been on fun rides, he’s cross country schooled, unaffiliated combined training, showjumping and arena eventing.

He has turned his hooves to absolutely everything his owners have asked him to do with a completely genuine and honest outlook on life. He is never spooky or sharp. You could literally ride him anywhere, main roads, huge open fields, country lanes, alone and in company, he’s herded sheep and cattle on the farm.

He really is just a total dude of a horse! Barney would suit someone wanting a super reliable happy, kind and straightforward fun horse for any job, eventing, showjumping, riding club, competent mother and daughter share. He is a saint to do anything with, shoe, box, catch etc. no known ridden or stable vices.

Barney will not suit a novice, he’s a fun bubbly horse that needs a jockey that can ride to a half decent standard. Please no more kids coming out of a riding school claiming they can ride…….

Superb easy going kind temperament and taking straight to his retraining , in fact I think he’s really enjoying the easy life, settled, doesn’t really have many ambitions left in life and quite happy to be a pet

However he is quite talented and rides well with a rubber snaffle mouth so would crack on to event / competition / hunt and would have the right brain for it .

  • Smart mover with a lovely jump.

15.3hh, rising 7 year old, TB, gelding.

Ronnie is an active and attractive mover who is coming together very nicely on the flat. He was bred for racing. However, he was sold to his current owner before going into training, as a lightly backed 4 year old- so he has never raced.

He is capable and very careful over a fence with a good technique and very much enjoys jumping. Bold to his fences and has seen a variety of fillers. Honest jumper.

Ronnie's current owner has produced him steadily, and he has done a little bit of everything with her, including a couple of XC schools and an unaffiliated Dressage competition.

Good to hack alone and in company and has been good in all the traffic we have met with him, catch, shoe etc...

Ronnie would suit a confident, quiet rider to continue his education. He is not suitable for a novice rider as he is a little bit sharp and can spook. He does have enough ability to interest an ambitious amateur rider, and would have ability to Event to Novice level in time. He has the makings of a very nice, competitive little Event horse with a bit of time spent on furthering his education, and will be a very rewarding project for the right person.

Ronnie's has been with us on schooling livery to be produced for sale for 4 months now. He is nicely schooled and has had time spent on furthering his education. He has been for some trips off the yard with us recently to different venues where he has travelled and behaved very well. He is a talented little horse who is ready to get out and about and to begin his competitive career this season.

Up to date teeth, jabs, physio etc. In work 6 days a week. Fit, sound and ready for action!

Only for sale as his owner has relocated to Cyprus.

Good home is very important for this sweet chap.

Has been seen to weave in the stable when stressed. Best suited to a home with plenty of turnout.

Sold on behalf of owner.

Introducing ‘Pearl’ - a stunning aprox 16hh, 6y0 , dapple grey, unraced , Tb mare.

Clean legs, no stable vices - sweet in every way!

Pearl is super kind in and out of the stable and a pleasure to do everything with. She turns out in a mixed herd on 30 acres with us and is always first to the gate when called. She is a super friendly mare who enjoys being around people and genuinely wants to be your best friend. She loads and travels on a trailer or a lorry , you wouldn’t even know she was on there. Excellent for the farrier too

Prior to coming to me , Pearl has been a happy hacker with the occasional funride here and there. She has been completely unflappable in the traffic and all winds and weathers with us. She will go out alone or in company and is a reliable hack out. She will stand to be mounted , open and close gates etc. She is equally reliable in open spaces , a fun mare who’s for a canter , but only should you ask her. Always ridden in a snaffle

Since being with me we have ridden Pearl in the arena and wow , i must say , she is so willing and such a fast learner!! I wish they were all like this! She is happily working in all three paces and slowly but surely starting to gain understanding of working on the bridle. She is a very sound mare who moves extremely well. She would be a great riding club or event horse with further mileage and production. She is happy to pop coloured poles , although this is not something that’s been asked of her before , she’s never once said no to anything we’ve asked of her

Pearl is open to any viewing or inspection, I highly doubt she’ll be with me long.

Loving homes only, she really deserves that
