  • Good to hack
  • Scopey jumper

Dil is a 16.1h 6yo Bay Mare, and is a chunky TB. She is a sweet mare and more like a gelding than a mare! She’s raced about 14 times but wasn’t fast enough.

Her flat work is green but she is very willing has is progressing well with us.

She started jumping this year and has proved to have a super scopey and careful jump, she has taken well to fillers and all types of simulated XC fences.

She has jumped on a surface and on grass and has just been XC schooling and loved it jumping around a BE90 course.

She is good to hack both on the roads and in the fields, she is now looking for next home to continue her training and in time will make a super competition all rounder or equally happy as a low level hack.

Sad sale on behalf of her owner after 2.5 years.

  • A super top prospect at dressage eventing or showing / large hack

Prince has 3 starts racing but didn’t show a lot of speed in the course.

Last summer he was given time to grow and mature. He did a lot of schoolwork. Went x country schooling and hacking.

He has a rest since his last start and is now

He is the nicest person you could wish to have in your stables.

He is now back up and working w light in the mouth and never needs more than a snaffle.

H is good with farrier traveling and clip.

This is going to be a super top prospect at dressage eventing or showing. Would make a large hack.

Prince will not disappoint anyone who views him.

Claude has just retired from racing and is ready for someone to put their own stamp on.

Claude does basic flatwork, he has balanced flashy paces and carries himself correctly. Snaffle mouthed.

He has been to an arena hire which he took all in his stride and happily jumped a course of 80cm showjumps. Not phased by any fillers. He is forward going but listens and happily takes your leg.

He is a gentleman, well mannered with a very genuine character and loves fuss.

Has hacked out alone or in company around open fields & lanes, he does have a look at his surroundings but he hasn’t seen much of the world and just needs someone to show him the ropes.

Lives in & out in company. Good to box & travel. No vices. No bumps or blemishes.

No novice or nervous riders.

No loans. No payment plans. No timewasters or day trippers we are a busy yard. Serious enquiries only.

A yard favourite, Toast is the most beautiful eye catching horse, and he gets a lot of attention everywhere we go!

He is an exciting dressage /  RoR prospect, and a very capable jumper, going clear on our first 80cm hunter trial together, and 2nd out of 44 second time out.

Toast is a really kind horse, very eager to please and he is really enjoying his retraining and new technical challenges. He is retired from racing due to wind issues, meaning a full time hunting home or high level XC/team chasing wouldn’t be an ideal home for him. But has absolutely no trouble competing at the average level.

No vices and clean legs. Easy to groom/ clip/ plait. Good with traffic and travels alone and can be tacked up outside the box easily.

He will make someone with experience a lovely project.
