Owner giving up - priced for quick sale

Danny is a sweet, compact 16.1hh 8yr old TB gelding currently being retrained and progressing well. He is established in walk, trot and canter although still needs to build up strength - very smart with his feet and really enjoys polework.

He has been out to local XC and SJ hires, proving curious once settled into the new environment and willing to learn. He thrives when has a job to do and, with time, patience and consistency, believe he will make a lovely all-rounder on a budget.

Danny can be spooky to hack, and plant if unsure, so would benefit from a calm, confident horse accompanying him while he builds confidence.

When excited or spooked, he can also throw a buck or spin so he is not suitable for a novice rider. He needs an experienced home willing to continue his education.

16.3hh Thoroughbred Gelding – Fun, Forward, Athletic Allrounder / XC/ Team Chasing/ Hunt Scurry Prospect - ROR Eligible

Teo is a smart, athletic Thoroughbred gelding with a successful background in both flat racing and steeple chasing before retiring at 7 years old.

After enjoying a few years off, he has been slowly and correctly brought back into work over the last 2 years with a focus on building strength, flatwork and confidence in a new career. He is now ready for someone wanting a fun, capable horse to continue producing.

Teo schools nicely on the flat with a lovely walk and trot and is improving in his canter work. He enjoys his jumping and has attended arena hires, XC fun rides and been out with the hounds. He is bold, brave and naturally quick, making him an exciting prospect for XC, hunting, team chasing or hunt scurries.

He hacks well both alone and in company, is good in traffic and loves getting out and about. In open spaces he is forward-going but enjoyable for a confident rider.

Teo thrives in consistent work and enjoys having a job to do. He is not suitable for novices or nervous riders as he is a sensitive, forward Thoroughbred who benefits from a knowledgeable and experienced home.

Very sad sale due only to lack of time following return to full-time work and a young family. He deserves a home where he can continue progressing and enjoying an active life.

A very very sad sale,

After buying jilly last year, prior to that I was her work rider, I now through unforeseen circumstances am looking for a 5* home for this talented young mare comes with 1.2k fitted adjustable saddle and smart bridle.

Plenty of videos available via WhatsApp!!

Jilly retired last summer had the winter out and started retraining in January. She has been a pleasure to retrain and enjoys life outside of racing.

Has competed up to preliminary scoring high 60s low 70s and a rosette everytime. Has only recently started jumping with me with plenty of scope over 85cm jumps. Popped 1.20m chase fences during training with ease. Hacks out alone and in company, great in traffic, can live in or out, has done pole clinics and fun rides. She is a forward but easy ride with a snaffle mouth never been seen to rear or buck. Builds a bond with her rider/ owner and is very cuddly.

Good for the farrier, vet and good to load.

My intention was to take her grassroots eventing eventually but would equally suit a dressage home as she seems to enjoy this. Or even someone wanting a low level all rounder or leisure horse to hack and school. As she is a beautiful forward ride and still learning her job she would not be suitable for a novice or nervous rider.

She can be marish on the ground when in season (nothing nasty just a bit of trotting on the spot) nothing a bridle doesn’t solve! And does have a vet history which will be disclosed to serious buyers (nothing that puts any restraints on her future). I have known her since a 3 year old so all history is known.

My gelding is now sold so open to offers as looking for a quick hassle free sale to the perfect home only!!

  • Easy to do in every way, great temperament!
  • jumps a small course of fences, Hacks well.

Neil is a truly fabulous little horse with the sweetest outlook on life. Eye-catching, elegant and full of quality, he is the sort that turns heads wherever he goes and has all the attributes to make a top-class show horse.

Registered as Walk The Moon, he is exceptionally well bred by the legendary Sea The Stars, one of the greatest racehorses and most influential stallions of the modern era, responsible for producing offspring renowned for their class, trainability and athleticism. His dam is by Dutch Art, a proven sire whose stock are admired for their quality, movement and versatility. Having last raced in July 2025, Neil is fully RoR eligible and would be a serious contender in the RoR show ring, whilst also being an ideal Small Riding Horse or Hack prospect.

Neil has been beautifully produced on the flat. He works in a soft, correct outline with three balanced, rhythmical paces and is a willing, uncomplicated ride. He has a genuine workmanlike attitude, always tries his heart out and is the sort that simply wants to please. His natural elegance and presence ensure he stands out from the crowd wherever he goes.

He has also jumped a small course of fences. Whilst he isn't destined to be a world-class jumper, he is genuine, brave and happily pops whatever is put in front of him, making him a fun and versatile all-rounder for someone who enjoys a little bit of everything.

Out hacking, Neil is confident both alone and in company. He has seen farm machinery and village traffic, remains forward-thinking without ever becoming silly or sharp, and is an enjoyable horse to ride.

On the ground he is an absolute pleasure. A lovely character who is easy to have around, he is good to clip, shoe, load, travel and handle in every respect. He settles well in the stable and is genuinely uncomplicated to manage.

Neil represents a serious opportunity for someone looking for a quality RoR, showing or dressage prospect with the added bonus of being a fabulous hack and an enjoyable little jumper. Horses with his attitude, presence and versatility are always in demand, and he has all the ingredients to have a very exciting future in the right home.

Offered for sale through absolutely no fault of his own. A knowledgeable, loving home is of the utmost importance. For sale on behalf of a client.
