Joey is a lovely TB, he's been in training but never raced, I bought him as a 3 year old gave him some field time, and since becoming a 4 year old, he has taken to re training very well.

He goes sweetly on the flat walk, trot and canter,

Pops round small course of fences including fillers, has been out to school hires as well as a couple of local shows where he behaved so well.

Hacks out alone, and is great in traffic,

Joey will make someone such a lovely horse , he loves his cuddles and has such a laid back attitude,

Super little mare who is sadly for sale due to new work commitments.

She has competed at dressage, showjumping, ODE and hunter trials. Competed up to 90, and jumped clear in her first 90 SJ class. Clear 80 hunter trial.

Super completion at first Cotswold Cup.

Very brave and loves to jump and work. Nice mover and has a lot more to give on the flat.

So much more to come from this mare. Ready to get going and give her new owner a lot of fun.

She is forward going and can be excitable therefore no novices.

Has been seen to weave in stable.

15.3 tb mare 6 years old.

RoR eligible,

Iv owned Jabula for almost 3 years and before she came to me she had been professionally schooled.

We decided to breed a foal from her and she had a super colt foal by a riding pony stallion.

She has now been in full work approximately 8 weeks and she has slotted back in to work lovely.

She has 3 balanced paces and has a lovely soft mouth( she is just ridden in a rubber snaffle)

She is good on the road and in open spaces.

Although she isn’t sharp or silly she does like to work and we feel that she would be more suited to someone who has experience with thoroughbreds.

She is easy to deal with, good to bath/shoe etc.

She has been seen to weave but it’s not all the time, just mainly at feed times.

It’s a real sad sale but I have retained her foal and I just don’t have time for the two and I feel she needs more than what I can give her.

She is not a suitable first horse and not suitable for a novice so please don’t ask me… she also is not available for loan!

Someone will have a lot of fun with her and I’d love to keep in touch with the new owners . More pictures and videos available

  • Shown side saddle & qualified Blair BHS working hunter in 2024
Charlie is a very talented ex-racehorse, who has been slowly retrained and done lots of different activities including event camps, showing, competitions and training. He loves to jump and has huge scope. He has 3 lovely paces and can do a lovely test with a sympathetic rider, it's just not his favourite phase however as he jumps for fun and is super brave XC he has the ability to top the rankings. We have qualified for the Regional Championships this year, in our first season at BE100.

Some of his results include:

2025 - 3rd Brechin Castle BE100
2025 - 6th Scottish Riding Club Championship 100
2024 - Champion Hack at National Side Saddle Show
2024 - numerous placings in the show ring, astride and side saddle
2023 - 3rd Scottish Riding Club Championship 90

Charlie only raced under rules 12 times in Ireland and last raced in December 2017. He has no racing injuries and is never sick or sorry.

Charlie hacks out alone, happy on the buckle end and is good in traffic. He loads on to a trailer & 3.5t lorry, good to shoe and with the vet. He is a forward ride and will need someone that is experienced to compete and fulfil his potential. He has the ability to go BE novice and above, pure SJ or lead horse teamchasing.

He is very sadly for sale due to there not being enough hours in the day! He needs a competitive and sympathetic home who can realise his full potential.

  • Won London and Southern ROR novice championship 2025
  • BD points to novice, competing at Area Festivals

Gorgeous ROR sadly for sale, I have owned him since he was 5 and slowly retrained him for dressage. He is a rosette machine and has won up to novice level BD, competing at Area Festivals in January.

He won the ROR southern prelim Championships at Blenheim In 2024 and won the London and Southern novice Championships in 2025. Qualified for ROR nationals in August. He has also done some sj and xc but his strength is in his dressage.

He is good to shoe, traffic, box.

He is a bit wasted as I have 3 other horses that are eventing and feel now is the time for him to find his next home. He lives in or out and has no vices or health issues. Very well behaved at a show.

He wouldn’t be for a complete novice and would love him to find a home with someone that has experience with thoroughbreds. He hacks alone or in company and is snaffle mouthed at all times. Looking for a quick hassle free sale.

Please no time wasters as I want him to find the perfect home.

Super quality TB gelding 16hh 13 yrs
Measures 16hh but has a lightweight frame
Has competed successfully in dressage to novice with previous owner.

Beautifully schooled, super straight movement. Not spooky, calm, trainable attitude. Could suit a young rider.
ROR eligible. Show potential.
I bought him with showing in mind but my circumstances have changed and I feel I am too big on him to do him justice.

He hacks out though I haven’t taken him out a lot. He is a lovely kind boy and good to do in all ways. Loads and travels in lorry or trailer. He did race but has been looked after and is clean limbed.

He is unshod at present and has very good feet. He does crib at feed times but is minimal and dosnt affect him.
Up to date with jabs and teeth etc

  • Placed every time out

This super french bred chap has lightly raced and since has been retrained professionally but 5* rider.

He has three correct and straight paces with natural balance. He's clean and careful to a fence.

Is currently competing weekly at Prelim and has never been out of the top two. Is ready to step up.

Huge potential for the show ring / ROR dressage series / ROR Challenge but would also make a fantastic team chaser with a great brain.

Has seen hounds and proven to be very mannerly.

Incredibly easy at home, super in traffic and an allround gentleman to do.

Extremely sad sale

  • 68 foundation points, 2nd in 4 BE 100’s.
  • Eligible for Badminton grassroots
  • Eligible for ROR classes

Henry is a 15.3hh 7 year old full TB gelding who is eligible for ROR classes. He has beautiful paces and is straightforward and brave to a fence.

Henry started eventing last June and has already gained 68 foundation points, being 2nd in 4 BE 100’s. He nearly always scores in the 20’s dressage, and has jumped double clears in his last 5 BE100 runs.

Henry is the sweetest horse to have at home. He has exceptional manners, travels by himself and patiently stands and waits for his turn. He is kind and friendly and goes out with others horses.

Henry is a forward going but safe ride. He never spooks and is brave at all xc fences.

He is a forward hack but good in all traffic and is settling more and more all of the time.

Henry is ready to go out and give someone lots of fun out eventing. He is eligible for Badminton grassroots and would be very competitive. He would also move up the levels but just needs a bit more time than we currently have to gain strength in his SJ.

Good to box, shoe and clip etc.

Please call if you are interested and leave a voicemail and I’ll get back to you.
