Stunning 7yo 16,1 Chestnut Mare – ROR / Event / Riding Club Prospect
By Ulysses x Penny Lane Forever

Ren is a beautiful 7-year-old chestnut mare, retired from racing in February 2024 and carefully retrained since. Having previously ridden her as a work rider, I brought her home to give her the time and education for a new career.

She is a quality type with exceptional movement, naturally balanced paces and the presence to really stand out. Ren would make a super RoR prospect, riding club horse, event type or all-rounder for someone looking to produce a talented mare.

Fantastic breeding – Ulysses lines
Beautiful, balanced paces
ROR / Event / Dressage prospect
Hacks happily alone or in company
Kind nature and enjoys her work
Proven broodmare – excellent mother

Ren is now coming back into ridden work, but sadly due to lack of time she is looking for her next partner. She thrives when she has a job and will reward someone who wants to continue her education.

A genuine, eye-catching mare with huge potential in the right hands.

This lovely big mare by pethers moon is smart, good looking and stands out in any crowd.

Peppa has done just about everything.

She has raced, team chased and hunted with her previous owners.

I bought her to produce and then help her find her perfect home.

I have been out show jumping, to somerford park farm ride, Cannock chase and hacked out alone and in company.

She just seems to get on with everything you throw at her.

I have also been concentrating on her flat work. Walk and trot she stays in a lovely outline. Her canter is coming on well.

She has had her teeth done, is fully vaccinated new shoes are on so Is ready for her next chapter in her life.

She has a scar on her back leg where she was kicked at her previous home which does not affect her performance in any way.

I have lots of pictures and videos of her that I can send on request.

This horse will be perfect for someone who wants to get out there, turn heads and hae lots of fun.

Gertie is as kind and genuine mare who has done a bit of everything. She is as honest as they come. Gertie last ran in March 2022 and has since been retrained. She retired from racing sound, was just too slow.

Gertie has xc schooled and will jump anything you ask of her. She is bold and has a scopey jump. Ideal for somebody wanting to team chase or looking for a hunter. She isn’t strong she will happily sit in behind or lead away. She is snaffled mouthed. Gertie has previously hunted and been out with the blood hounds. Impeccably mannered.

Gertie will hack alone and in company. She has seen all types of traffic and farm machinery and isn’t phased at all. You can ride and lead off of her. She is good to do in each and every way, clipping, loading, farrier and vet. Gertie is now ready to go and have a lot of fun with somebody!

No novices please

Gertie is sold from the field and she has had the winter off due to no fault of her own.

5* home only!

Open to vettings

Please contact for any further details.

  • Level-headed, reliable, straightforward, with no vices
  • Brave, calm head on his shoulders and a big, kind heart

Colden is a 15'2", 8-year-old ex-point-to-point horse we have owned for nine months. He is extremely talented and brave with exceptional scope, and the most laid-back, kind, easy going temperament. He has great conformation and is a stunning, rare dark bay colour.

He is still relatively green for his age, but has bags of ability, a brave, calm head on his shoulders and a big, kind heart. He has massive scope and a natural, bold jump (jumped 5'6" point-to-point fences), is incredibly brave to a fence and loves jumping, including show-jump poles. He also moves beautifully on the ground. He is level-headed, reliable, straightforward and takes everything in his stride. He hacks alone and in company, travels well alone or in company, is easy to catch, great for the farrier and has no vices. He is kind, friendly and funny and very much a favourite at the stables.

Since we have owned him, we have invested heavily in groundwork, correct education and sorting the basics, and he is now a seriously exciting prospect to bring on for eventing, team chasing, hunting, riding club events/competitions, a teenage pony-clubber moving up from ponies, or someone looking for a kind, sensible, level-headed all-rounder. With further experience and mileage, he will be really special.

Only for sale as his owner has unexpectedly been offered an amazing job abroad for six months from the end of March and is then going to university in London when she returns, so unfortunately, we have no choice but to sell him.

Serious enquiries only and no novices as we want him to go to a home where he will have fun and fulfil his potential. No timewasters or joyriders please.

offers
  • Experienced home on farm awaits with lightweight adult rider
  • I’m searching for a best friend with a safe, fun attitude to life
  • Gelding preferred (due to 2 mares on had already)
I’m on the lookout for a fun but safe set of hooves, ideally fitting the following criteria:
• 148-158cm
• gelding
• under 15 years (this is non-negotiable)
• must travel on a trailer
• must hack alone and in company without major quirks inc. napping and bucking
• must be a nice person to handle, no kickers
• horses with veterinary history considered with full disclosure, but no rehab projects
• bonus if they already know how to ride and lead (I have small children)
• something that doesn’t need riding every day and wouldn’t mind a break of up to a week between riding when necessary (I’m a nurse and work shifts)
• able to turnout in a mixed herd (1 other gelding and 1 mare, next to another mixed herd of 3)

In return I can offer:
• experienced (lifelong pony/horse owner) home
• daily turnout come rain or snow
• reasonably competent riding! I’ve previously competed at BE Novice and done lots of BD but have ridden very little in past 18 months
• I have a soft spot for thoroughbreds, but would prefer them to have some life experience outside of racing
• ideally I’d like to do some BD, some low level jumping clinics (90 ish) and lots of hacking. If I haven’t lost my nerve then maybe some low-level BS and BE
• I’m 5’3” and pretty consistently about 55-56kgs so ponies are welcome
• my horses are looked after to very high standards and want for nothing

Please send asking price along with initial information. Realistic budget available.
I’m based in Cambridgeshire but willing to travel for the right horse/pony

Lovely 14yo Ex racer. Very lightly raced and retired sound.

Since been retrained as an eventer but lack of time has meant he has never made it out competing.

Great to hack alone/in company, jumps anything in front of him.

Never bucked, bolted or reared but not a novice ride.
