Our Beautiful Boy


Ref #: 399583
  • A lovely mover, he has three good paces
  • He is forward going and enjoys his work
£3,800 OVNO

Tentatively putting feelers out to see if there is a suitable and loving home for our beautiful boy now that our daughter has gone to university; he has been the perfect mother/daughter share for us over the past 3 years.

He is a striking 16’1 chestnut TB gelding rising 10 years who came to us straight out of racing sound 3 years ago and therefore qualifies for RoR. A lovely mover, he has three good paces and has done a bit of everything, although the two of them have focussed on their dressage and have been successful. The video clip shows some recent flat work, XC schooling and loose jumping.

He is forward going and enjoys his work. Equally happy to hack out alone or in company he loves to go out for adventures. He is steady, sensible, good in traffic and the open spaces of Salisbury Plain. He has proven himself to be a good nanny horse and does not get silly, spooky or nappy.

We had a successful ‘kissing spines’ op done in April 2025 (vertebrae, not ligaments) which has transformed his way of going. The rehabilitation was done patiently and correctly (led at all stages by physio and vets) and so it has been a great investment in his his long-term health. Due to this, it would probably be sensible to suggest a 70kg weight limit.

Always snaffle-mouthed, good to shoe, clip, plait up and trailer load. He likes a neck and shoulder scratch, is consistently good to catch and handle and is a sweet boy. He can require a sensitive hand when grooming, rugging and tacking and would struggle with winter turnout in mud - he is currently turned out on well-drained soil.

Three years of vet, physio and dental history are available on request. Fully up to date with all vaccinations.

Prospective new homes would need to be checked for suitability.

Includes a fitted 17” Thorowgood T7 compact HW saddle.

  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Not marish
  • ROR eligible

She’s is currently not in work and will be sold this way due to lack of time.

She has been XC schooling and showjumped prior to going out of work due to myself getting a new job.

She was ridden up until April this year when I started my new job.

She will be easy to pick back up into work as I have sat on her once since she stopped being ridden and she was happy to trot about in the school.

She also is happy to be lead and ridden with other horses and has hacked out on lead with my other mare often last winter.

Currently barefoot, fully vaccinated and had teeth done last time.

Oscar is looking for a forever home. He finished racing in March 2023 and has been with me since, hacks alone/or in company, good with traffic and is well schooled.

Up to date with vaccinations, shoeing, good to load, travel and clip.

Think a hunting/team chasing home would suit him, he’s a big horse so not for a novice ride!

Currently fit and ready to go, please message for details or to arrange viewing.
