Loving Family Looking for First Horse – Leicestershire

Disheartened but hopeful mum searching for our first family horse. We're based in Leicestershire on a wonderful yard with fantastic hacking and instructors on-site.

We're looking for a genuine, kind-natured horse to be a mother-daughter share.

My 13-year-old daughter is a quiet and sensible rider who mainly has riding school experience, and is now ready to do a bit of everything — hacking, schooling, local shows, sj, xc, pc etc
And for me (mum), a bit rusty but competent. Mainly interested in schooling and hacking these days.

What we're looking for:
Age: Ideally 7–10
Height: Around 15hh–15.3
Temperament: Safe, steady, not sharp or spooky please - got to love being pampered & fussed. No strong or heavy types please.
Must be good to do in all ways — farrier, loading, catching, traffic, etc.
Must enjoy a varied life and be happy living on a friendly, active yard.

We're offering:
A loving, committed home with experienced support
Excellent facilities, fantastic hacking
A horse that will be truly part of the family (little sister is also ready & waiting to take up the reins!!)

We’re happy to travel within reason for the right horse.

Please get in touch if you think you might have the horse that will complete our little team!

• Schooled too perfection
• Changes established

The best Connemara on the market in our opinion.

He’s a super smart model of a horse, the perfect WH stamp, he’s been schooled by professionals from the start at only 4y old he has auto flying changes, works in a nice shape and carry’s a good consistent round canter.

He’s schooling courses of a meter, tbh if you ak him too jump a 120m course he would have no issue with it but we are aware of his age and keeping the potental locked in for now. He is brave bold and careful xc, hacks perfect with nervous mum.

He’s forward thinking, clever and trainable.

Would do American hunter jumper classes now.

Sound no vices

Do you want a safe, fun, reliable horse to look after you and fill you with confidence? Here he is.

After 3 amazing years of owning Jim it is time for him to find a new person to fill with confidence.

Jimmy is the type of horse you would stand behind all day. You name it he has done it.

A complete gentleman to hunt, stands at every meet quietly and finds a nice stride for you every time, jumped hedges, ditches, rails and will go up front or behind

A machine to take XC, will pootle for you or switch up a gear if you want it, no problem with anything I have pointed him at.

Competed regularly at local SJ competitions, he has picked me up so many red rosettes over the years, competed on a ticket BS British Novice, absolute joy to take round. Recently placed Champion at Kelsall Hills Summer League showjumping and also Dean Valleys Eqcouture in classes 90-100cm. Placed in the top 10 at Aintree for their National showjumping championships.

Successful this year dipping our toe into Working Hunter, winning his classes.

He was also recently being placed in the top 5 in two HOYS qualifiers on his first attempt.

Completely safe on the beach, fun rides, to hack alone or in company, not phased by traffic. Completely unflappable.

An absolute brick to handle, clip, shoe, load, travel, ride and lead, and faff with. The type of horse you could take out by yourself and tack up on the side of the m60.

Jimmy passed a 5 STAGE VETTING Monday 4th August 2025 - buyers pulled out due to a cosmetic splint that has never caused him a day of lameness. Completely sound in all areas including flexion tests and lunge on the hard.

Please calls only I have had many time wasters. This is a seasoned teenage horse. If you are interested please arrange to view.

Up to date with vaccs, physio and dentist.

This very special boy will only go to a very special home. He is adored by everybody who meets him. Many videos, pictures and references available.

Kansas Quick WZ - competitive amateur grade B show jumper.

Kansas is without a doubt the most honest horse I’ve ever sat on, she loves her job, is quick and reliable, will jump any fence off any stride and can really turn on a six pence. Incredible confidence builder in the ring but not suitable for a novice as she is forward.

A fun and kind amateurs horse that has won multiple national classes at Aintree, qualified first try for bluechip, hoys bronze semi final, bronze winter final, 1m05 national final and national amateurs with multiple riders. Took 14yo girl round amateur champs DC in her first year BS.

Has jumped up to 1m30 with a better rider and went all 3 rounds of a silver qualifier, she only has fences with me when I miss her, but has never ever stopped. The type always taking you to a fence, she is forward but just really enjoys her job, never nasty in anyway, she would never buck kick rear.

100% to catch, clip, shoe, load, straightforward type, very soft and loving on the ground, does not change if left for a day a week or month. Good to hack in company or alone, great in all traffic.

I think the absolute world of this mare and will only let her go to the best of homes, she would not be going anywhere if I had my own land or different circumstances, this is a very difficult sale so please genuine enquiries only.

Please call after 5pm

DOES YOUR CHILD (OR YOUNG LADY) WANT TO WIN?

DO THEY LIKE TO BE TAKEN TO A FENCE

MAKE THEIR DAY ... LET THEM SIT ON A REAL MACHINE!

Toby, although only 12, has done it all.

He went from starting BE 90, with a child debutante, he went up to intermediate tracks in under 2 years.

Not suprisingly, things went wrong. I took him on as a potential teamchaser, but soon realised what a class horse he was.

3 years on he has been competing UA showjumping and eventing and giving a totally inexperienced child the time of her life. He was champion 90 showjumping in the Oakingham winter league and was 2nd in open 90 eventing recently scoring a 27 in the dressage.

He has done 2 BE events and been placed in both, now that he does a sensible, reliable test. Last weekend he qualified for the PC regional and the Horse Events final with another child rider.

Chilled out and relaxed through the drop in grade, he is now super confident and has discovered the art of flatwork. He is now ready to take an educated junior (coming off ponies?) to enjoy the transition to small but powerful horse.

He will take you to a fence so he is NOT suitable for a child coming off a kickalong native pony.

He might suit a competitive child coming off a competitive BS pony.

Up to date with everything and ready to go straight out and give someone the thrill of winning.

• Plenty of scope to go higher

Where to start, Charlie is a 6yo Connie x WB. Gelding. Standing around 15.2hh.

He’s is sadly looking for a new home as my daughter wants to now move onto an established showjumper.

He was originally bought as an intro to owning a young horse coming off ponies and he has done the job perfectly for us.

My now 13yo daughter has produced him slowly and correctly and he’s really starting to carry himself nicely in all three uphill and floaty paces.

He really enjoys jumping and with us will happily jump a course up to 80cm with plenty of scope to go higher in time with further training.

He is generally still a little green but willing and learns quickly but most importantly he wants to please his rider and enjoys the work.

•Will hack alone and in company
•Loads and travels perfect in lorry or trailer, with or without company.
•Up to date with jabs, dentist, worming and any maintained he’s required.

Would make an ideal alrounder type, riding club/pony club home rather than a competition.

Would excel at dressage as he really does float in his movements everyone comments when they watch him, we get comments where ever we go. We are in no rush to sell and will only go to 5* homes.

Please no complete novices, time wasters or joy riders, this is extremely sad sale of our lovely family horse.

• Connemara

• Talented little horse with event / SJ history
• True schoolmaster and allrounder
• Perfect horse for a teen or lightweight adult

Absolutely beautiful 15.1 dun Connemara gelding, 11 years old.

Talented, kind gelding who is a true schoolmaster and allrounder. This lovely little horse is sadly outgrown and looking for his next person. Would suit a teen or small adult rider.

Previously has evented to BE80 with scope for more. Showjumped in Ireland and has SJI points at 80 and 90cm including 3 wins. He has had a quieter few years with us as my son was not competitive but is fit and ready to go out again in any discipline. He has even carried a sidesaddle and was superb.

Good established, correct flatwork with great movement. Willing to try hard and quick to learn. Very easy in all ways, will step down for a more novice rider and up when asked.

Lovely easy jump with scope to burn, never stops, takes a miss.

Good to handle, load and travel, clip etc.

Hacks alone and in company. Good in open spaces and with all kinds of traffic.

He has been ridden regularly by teenagers and adults, and has enormously helped one nervous lady rider to gain confidence and love riding again. He’s the most useful little horse and a true yard favourite. He takes up the leg well and has been ridden by a 5’8 adult without looking at all ridiculous!

Has hunted extensively with the draghounds and absolutely loves it. He’ll give you a fantastic comfortable day. Well behaved around hounds and other horses, stands to wait, keen without being strong or silly.

He can spook but nothing dramatic.

His only flaw is that at some stage in his past he has been made earshy, and he just asks for some tactful handling around his head. With gentleness you can touch his ears and actually he enjoys a good ear rub, but prefers no sharp movements or unexpected touches to his ears. Tacking up is never a problem. He won’t do anything dramatic if you alarm him – nothing worse than swinging his head away.

He has never been lame or had an off day.

TB x KWPN

Pete is currently looking for his next home to continue his riding career. He would be perfectly suited to a confident teenager coming off ponies or a petite adult wanting to do a bit of everything or equally be a quality event horse.

Extremely safe when hacking as he has been on rides around a country park and regularly hacks down a busy A road, alone or in company.

He has been to many arena hires and XC trainings. Hes currently out unaffiliated showjumping at 80cm and training higher at home. For a little horse he has scope to burn!

He has the most easy going temperament and never changes from day to day. Loose schooling he has shown potential to be jumping 1.10m+ in the future.

He has exceptional breeding as his Damsire is Wolfgang and his Grandsire is Ishiguru so is half-brother to Pippa Funnell's MCS Maverick! He has all the makings to be a lovely horse for someone.

Ziggy is a 5YO 15.3 gelding I have owned since a foal. He is one of the easiest young horses I have had the pleasure of producing.

He has schooled and competed in Arena Eventing, Showjumping and dressage showing lots of potential. He particularly excels at dressage and has scored 70%+ on more than one occasion. He also enjoys farm rides and hacking out alone or in company.

He has a lovely laid back disposition and would suit someone looking for a horse on the quieter side to produce and take part in competitions. He is more kick than pull. He is good for the farrier, to clip, & he travels alone or in company.

He is also happy to live in or out, in company or alone (he currently goes out in the day and in at night). Teeth and worming are all up to date.

He does have a very tiny sarcoid on the back of his ear which has been reflected In his price.

• Sensible working alone or with others
• Lovely straight paces
• Completely Genuine

I have owned Brave since he was twenty months and have started his ridden career slowly with his long term future in mind. He is now a really lovely horse to ride, he is sensible yet responsive, has started to carry himself in a natural outline and has a really lovely trainable attitude.

I have taken Brave out for lessons away from home and he is sensible working with other horses and is happy for others to walk or trot past him without reacting.

Brave has a lovely jump, so far we have jumped relatively small but he is confident and happy and now ready to do more. He is good with traffic, happy to hack with another horse, person or bike. He needs to build his confidence hacking alone but this will come with time (if he loses confidence he will stop and I tend to get off and lead him and then get back on again). He stands nicely at the mounting block for you to get on and is happy for you to take your coat off once your on board if need be and to open / close gates etc.

Brave is barefoot at the moment and I can’t see any reason why he might need shoes - his feet are really good and he is never footy or sore. All of his vaccinations are up to date and he has been seen regularly by my osteopath just to make sure that everything is right with him as his work increases. His tack is available. Teeth done in the last couple of weeks.

I would love for brave to go to a permanent home where he can be somebodys number one and will do my best to ensure the best of homes for him. He is much loved and a really special character. Please do not hesitate to call me if you would like more information

Warrier, a stunning 4-year-old lightweight cob gelding currently standing at approximately 15.1hh, expected to make 15.2hh to 15.3hh once fully matured. With a calm, kind nature and an honest way of going, Warrier has been a true pleasure to have on the yard.

He’s had a varied and positive summer with us, taking part in beach rides, fun rides, riding holidays, and happy hacking. Warrier is balanced in all three paces and has a good foundation in basic flatwork. He’s a naturally forward ride who takes his rider to a fence and shows plenty of scope, making him a joy over both show jumps and cross country fences.

He has enjoyed a few local clear rounds, has a great attitude to work, and loves his cross-country schooling. Warrier hacks alone and in company, is sensible in traffic, and shows no signs of napping, spooking, rearing, bolting or bucking.

This genuine boy would make a fabulous mother-daughter share, or suit a competent teen or small adult looking for a fun, safe and versatile cob to bring on. Due to his age, he wouldn’t be suitable for complete novices, but his temperament is second to none – he’s the sort that’s hard to find.

With further schooling, Warrier could even make an ideal riding school or RDA type.
