Loving home offered for min 12 months for an older school master type.
I’m looking for an (ideally) older school master / mistress type for full loan. Ideally, a kind, well-schooled horse who enjoys a variety of work — hacking, schooling, and the occasional fun ride or local event.
About me:
I’m a bit out of practice these days but I’m a quiet and sympathetic rider, with previous history of UA 90 ODEs & Dressage up to Novice. I train with Sam Hobbs, Molly Brown & had started with Simon Grieve before my 6yo got a field injury which has unfortunately put him out until the spring.
I’m looking to build a partnership with a horse who can get me back in the swing of things and have lots of fun with.
What I’m looking for:
- mare or gelding
- Age: 8–18 years (flexible, open to older if will fit the bill)
- Height: 15.2+
- Safe and sensible in traffic and open spaces but I can deal with quirks, excited bucks etc
- Suitable for hacking, flatwork, and light jumping (up to 90, no Burghley aspirations here! )
- wiling to relocate to my yard in LE12
What I can offer:
- An experienced home, I’ve had horses for 20 years, including a variety of ex racehorses, bred my own a few years ago
- a lovely internal stable in an American barn stabled next to my gelding with cameras (for late night checks), ad-lib hay
- Option for 24/7 turnout in summer, daily turnout in winter (Individually or pairs)
- Regular, varied work load including lots of hacking, schooling, jumping, clinics
- Excellent care and attention. Will be on DIY with my YO to cover if I’m ever away
- Willing to sign contracts and provide references from vet / farrier / physio
- Allow visits whenever you want & happy to keep updated regularly
- Local to some fabulous training and competition venues such as Vale View, Pickering Grange, Aylesford, Newbold Verdon etc.
Please get in touch if you have (or know of) a horse that might be a good match! Maybe an older horse who’s ready for a quieter life to give you space for something younger, something to take the pressure off if you want to focus on family, career or travelling.
Unfortunately I am not in a position to buy, I retired my older boy this year & now have my 6yo off on injury which is why I’m looking for loan.
Stable is available from 18th October but I’m in no rush.
Thank you
