7 year old, bay gelding, ex racehorse

Absolutely beautiful in every way, movement , looks and temperament this gentleman has it all!

Hacks out alone or in company, happy to lead or go behind. Perfect lead horse just gets on with his job!

3 balanced paces, very green in flatwork but huge movement, really floaty and so effortless! Would excel in a dressage arena.

Raced on the flat hasn’t yet started jumping

would suit an ambitious amateur or competent teenager looking to do more, a family horse or someone even just wanting a quiet horse to ride around a few days a week.

Very bold! And so professional, bombproof in the heaviest of traffic! Crosses A roads, cars and trailers not an issue, perfect with farm machinery working right next to the arena

Good in open fields; will walk, trot or canter whatever you ask him to do, although he does love his job and is forward off of the leg, Go in front or behind.

A really fun horse with heaps of potential

A lot of fun and very eye catching

Fossos is fit and ready to go out and about! He is racing fit

He has been hunting, good as gold, likes to keep his feet moving when with the group rather than stand around but as soon as you move away will stand all day, leaves the hunt , not worried about leaving the horses on his own, will walk when others are cantering, genuinely a real sweetie!

Please note he isn’t a novice ride, he is always safe and always snaffle mouthed but needs an experienced/confident rider to bring him on

No vices or injuries . Never bites or kicks or pulls a face, he is a very friendly person

I do not have copious videos of photos of this chap as of yet and won’t have until beginning of next week, however I do feel someone will snap him up very quickly so he won’t hang around!

Open to viewings and vetting’s

Spago schools nicely on the flat with 3 lovely paces, and has a scopey jump. He has done a bit of everything this summer - combined training, UA eventing, has been BS on a ticket up to Discovery, and has done a couple of Inter Team Chases.

He would make a super smart all rounder/ grassroots prospect with the right rider. He has proven to be very careful so could also suit a BS home. On the other hand, he would be such a fun team chase/hunt scurry horse as he loves the faster pace of life.

ROR eligible, Good to shoe/load/clip. Hacks alone and in company. Can be fresh but always safe.

He has a small sarcoid under his stomach that has had no change in the past 2 years. Has had previous Wind Ops when in training.

Fit and ready to go.

  • Lots of experience hunting and team chasing
  • Kind natured and easy to have around
  • Schooling well and showing a lot of ability to be a competitive eventer

Attractive stamp of a horse, has mainly hunted and done a bit of team chasing previously. Has been with us for a month to get ready for sale, was previously in an amateur home. Settled into our routine and system very easily, a nice horse to handle and have around. Leads well off another horse.

Good off the leg with three nice and correct paces, once he does a bit more flatwork and strengthens up to take more weight behind he’ll have really flashy paces. For a bigger horse he’s very light and even in the contact. Polite and easy to a fence and just goes in an eggbutt, so far showing good scope and carefulness. Jumps hedges, gates and been xc schooling.

Enjoys his work and would be ideal for an individual or family who wants to do a bit of hunting in the winter but have a horse who is quality enough to do some eventing in the summer

Ready to start getting out and doing some dressage and training shows, will be ready to start eventing by the start of the 2026 season

Has one small sarcoid under his belly which doesn’t affect him and could be easily removed

Good to shoe, clip, load etc

Looking for a new home.
16.2/3 Chestnut Gelding
Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorse
11 year old

This is a difficult decision as he is very much loved. Only for sale as struggling to give him the time he deserves and needs.

He has been very easy to retrain, been off the track for 3 years.
Have done plenty of hacking, will hack with and without company and will go first or last when in company.
He has done many hound exercises with the Readyfield Bloodhounds and 100% thrives off this, is great out on the field. Has jumped everything I have asked of him.
In the school he is still quite green, however with some training would do a lovely dressage test, has all the basics.
He loves his jumping. Been to many pole work clinics and XC hires. Doesn’t get razzed up and is always snaffled mouthed.
Lives in or out, herd or individual turnout.
Easy to catch, shoe, load and travel. Does need to be sedated for clipping as is ticklish.

Ex race horse who has mainly hunted but taught a young teenage girl how to ride who took him to Junior and Senior camp and some rallies with the Beaufort PC as well as hunting him with the Beaufort. He is willing to learn but is not a schooled horse.

He is super chilled and easy going and makes a great week day (or small field hunt) ladies Hunter.

He is fit and ready to go and I will be hunting him most weeks with the Beaufort until sold.

He has had his teeth and back done whilst with me and vaccinations are up to date.

3 nice paces and working sweetly on the flat. He is bold and genuine to a fence having jumped around a course of 80/85cm with the potential for more once more established. Has been to numerous arena hires.

Been xc schooling taking everything in his stride, popping ditches, drops and water. Has been in training previously which makes him ROR eligible. Hacks alone or in company and not phased by traffic. Sensible in open spaces and not a type that needs riding daily.

Good to shoe, box, clip etc. Can be grumpy in the stable. Ready to be produced further and would make a nice all-rounder.

Stunning 16.1hh, 5yo, Thoroughbred, Bay Mare

‘Molly’ is a very flashy young horse that has been started correctly following a short racing career.

She has exceptional paces and has received very complimentary marks from dressage judges. This, I believe is a discipline that Molly would excel, BD or ROR, she really is very eye catching .

Molly has also competed in ODE’s being placed unaffiliated eventing. She has proven to be very brave and bold XC and has seen a variety of fences including steps, ditches etc.

Molly is also excellent to hack out both alone and in company, unfazed by traffic and large machinery.

Ideally a home with experience of TB’s for this lovely mare.

We believe Molly has the potential to go far in the right hands whether this be dressage, eventing or team chasing.

Reluctant sale due to a change in work commitments. 5* home required for this talented horse.

Home much more important than price!

Brave and bold to a fence , having done a few arena hires and popped round fillers and a little course. Good brain and enjoys her jumping. 

We feel she would make a super Amatuers allrounder/eventer. She also has very good confirmation so could do well in the show ring. She is ROR eligible so there’s quite a lot of classes she could do. 

Hacking alone she can be a little bit unsure so needs a confident rider. 

Very sensibly priced

16.2hh TB chestnut Gelding 8yrs

Pencil could easily be mistaken for an Irish sports horse without his Wetherbys passport!

He is a lovely stamp of a horse with uphill paces, an intelligent trainable attitude, and a naturally scopey careful jump.

Pencil has been out of training 12 months and in this time he has proven himself to be very versatile in lots of scenarios. Pencil will hack with a novice mum or a want-to-have fun teenager, hunt, xc and sj competitively at stay away shows, be picked up and put down where he comes back just the same, and goes in the school willing to try and learn any new task asked of him.

Pencil is by no means the finished article, he works through correctly on the bridle nicely into the hand in walk, trot, and canter, but he is still re training being a former race horse. ROR and TAP eligible, for him to excel in a new career he would benefit from regular outings and continued training to build on this foundation. However he would equally suit someone who just wanted a nice horse to ride.

Pencil has very good manners although he is not a cuddly, fussy horse. He is a good doer who will live in or out. He does have a couple of non interfering splints and an old sarcoid scar but otherwise is fit and well having passed a vetting with neck and back x rays 12 months ago.

Lack of time and college commitment forces sale of this genuine versatile horse who could suit a variety of riders.

Millstreet 4yo 16.1h TB gelding.

Mac is a super sweet boy who has taken to retraining like a pro. He is easy to handle, loves a fuss. Clean limbed, retired sound from racing, just wasn’t fast enough.

Going well on the flat, 3 correct paces, would easily do dressage or show.

Plenty of jump, not phased by fillers. Jumped up to 95cm on a ticket. XC schooled and also jumped clear around the Cotswold novice team chase with the team finishing 12th out of 52 teams. Would easily BS or event. Although he has done enough to see a range of different things he has done a limited number of outings with plenty of downtime in between. He’s been brought along slowly and correctly with his future in mind.

Hacks out, has been good in traffic and in open spaces. He s a lovely horse who could go on to do any job. Good to clip, load shoe etc. Based in south wales near Cardiff. No offers, an absolute steal at this price to a nice home. Only reduced due to lack of stable space.

16.2 hh Bay TB Gelding, 5 yrs Registered Weatherbys, Sire Mount Nelson (GB) x Dam Capistrano Day (USA).

Our Horse has an exceptional temperament, very easy to do anything with and is quiet to ride. He is a very laid back character, has a very good attitude to work and is very trainable learning new disciplines.

We have mainly just done schooling with him and he has been jumped over small fences in the arena however he is ready to be further produced in this area. He does not rush into the fences and therefore an excellent place to start progressing.

A 5* home wanted for this very kind natured horse. He is a very straightforward and would suit most riders wanting to do a bit of everything, a blank canvas ready to produce further. A candidate for ROR, Jumping and Hacking.

Please no time wasters.
