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.

16hh | 5yo | Thoroughbred Gelding | Ex-Racehorse

Zed is a seriously handsome, quality type with a kind eye and an even kinder nature. He’s the sort that everyone falls in love with, genuine, fun, and incredibly easy to have around.

He is still developing physically and learning to work in a correct outline, but is showing all the right signs and just needs time to build strength and muscle. He already offers three balanced, rhythmical paces and a lovely, willing attitude to his work.

Zed is an absolute dream to hack; golden in every way. He is completely at home in open spaces and has been out in forestry, across the beach, and through water, taking everything in his stride. He happily hacks alone or in company and is content to lead or follow.

He has a naturally kind, “look after you” attitude, making him a really confidence-giving ride without being dull, he’s fun, forward, and always on your side.

On the yard, Zed is as easy as they come:
Great to clip, bath, and shoe
Up to date with vaccinations
Loads and travels perfectly
Turns out beautifully with others will never bite or kick another horse!

A lovely, genuine horse with a fantastic brain and temperament. Zed is ready to go on and form a proper partnership with his new person; whether that’s for fun, hacking, or producing further.

No vices
No injuries

A super fun, kind horse that just wants his own person.

Here’s a horse that means a hell of a lot to me , check out my social media for his full story.

Dylan is an 8yo, 15.2/15/3hh, tb gelding
No lumps / bumps or vices
Had new front shoes last week and saw the dentist

Dylan is exceptionally kind and easy to own and loves attention. He is one of the kindest, most deserving horses I’ve known. He will turn out alone or in company, perfect to catch, loads and travels like a pro, excellent for farrier or vet , lives in or out , polite in the stable, perfect to clip and bath etc

Dylan has done some work in a riding school and a bit of everything in a private home where he was exceptionally quiet and laid back

I rescued Dylan in November of last year after he’d been extremely badly neglected and I brought him back from the verge of death. He is now in perfect condition, healthy from the inside out, wanted for nothing , and back in work. Dyl has had months of me feeding him to the maximum so he is not as quiet to ride as he once was and I’m sure will be again. He has not bucked , reared etc, very straightforward! He’s just quite excited when hacking in company. Ridden by my very quiet and light as a feather yard girl who loves him and has no problems with him. He’s a little dude!!

He is perfect in traffic
Always in a snaffle
Golden in open spaces
Pops small fences
Good in the arena

Even after everything he’s been through, he remains so kind and trusting. I want someone who is finally secure enough to guarantee they are stable enough to make sure this horse never wants for anything ever again.

Open to any inspection
Plenty of videos etc available

Genuinely wish I could keep this one! Retired from racing 4 years ago

Spencer is a beautifully genuine horse who has been thoughtfully produced since leaving racing. He has a sensible, uncomplicated way of going and offers a reassuring, rideable feel that many riders are searching for.

He has enjoyed a varied lifestyle, including fun rides, competing at Prelim dressage, and low-level hunter trials, showing himself to be willing, adaptable, and easy to manage in different environments.

Spencer has been to arena hires showjumping and been incredible, combinations, fillers, water trays, walls all not a problem just a genuine pleasure of a horse! Ready to go out and compete round a few rounds
Spencer has been team chasing where he led perfectly around the novice course at Bicester, busy warm up arena and lots of new questions, didn’t look at a single thing! Just an absolute pleasure to take, stood on the trailer all day, an absolute gem.

An absolute gem to have on the yard: kind, straightforward, and a pleasure to do in all respects. Spencer would suit a rider looking for a quality all-rounder with a calm mindset and an honest attitude.

Spencer is good as gold to handle on the ground, clip, shoe, perfect stable manners , good to bath, tie up, turnout out and bring in, catch etc

Golden in open spaces, well behaved in traffic, hacks alone and in company, happy to lead or go behind, everyone who meets him falls in love instantly, a big character with lots of love to give. He will make someone a super horse and will be one we will be very sad to see go

Tack available by separate negotiation.

  • Plenty of potential

Ivor is a quality horse, has attended showjumping and cross country clinics. Won his first novice showing class in Barnadown.

Excellent to load, will stand in the horsebox at shows/ has been ridden barefoot.

A lovely ride, however he is a powerful horse so would not be suitable for a child.

Unlimited potential in the right hands.

Plenty of scope, very careful over pole.
