Max is a very pretty 10yo, 16hh gelding by Holy Roman Emperor who last ran in October. He's run over hurdles and on the flat / all weather and is proving to be a real sweetheart. He retires sane, sound and injury free.

He's forward going and will absolutely thrive in a competitive home, but would be just as happy bobbing around on adventures out hacking or doing endurance.

He jumps well and is going to make a really competitive horse across all spheres. He's would be absolutely ideal for a competitive teen, or small adult who wanted to get out and about.

He's a super mover and would be good enough for pure dressage or the show ring as hes clean limbed and straight.

Hes uncomplicated and easy to do but is still learning the art of standing still. He's been out and about with us and absolutely loved his trip to the beach, where he loaded nicely and really enjoyed the sea! Turns out with mares and geldings and is always snaffle mouthed.

Hes brave to a fence and has a lovely jump. Hes popped ditches, banks, barrels and coloured poles without any fuss.

He is open to vetting and viewings.

Based near Aberporth West Wales. Delivery is available.

Please call 07915 908328 for further information.

Blue clover is an 8 yr old mare who retired from racing as a 7 year old and after having over 7 months field rest she’s been professionally re schooled since November.

Shes lovely to deal with in and out of the stable and enjoys a fuss- lives in or out.

She would make a really smart dressage horse or would go down the event route as she’s done abit of showjumping and xc proving to be bold and trainable.

Shes a forward ride but soon settles and enjoys working in the school but equally enjoys hacking alone or in company.

Good to travel shoe and clip.

Would like to find her a 5* home that has experience with ex racehorses that can continue her education in the right direction.

Super Grey Irish Gelding.

A great ROR prospect - Dev is a lovely horse that would easily school on for jumping or Dressage as he has lovely paces and a really comfortable canter.

He is an absolute gentleman to ride out and will happily go alone or with others, good with even the heaviest of road or farm traffic. Polite and well mannered to ride in the arena and in big open spaces and he is also a good hunter.

A well mannered horse that doesn’t get fizzy or strong and is sensible and calm about flatwork and his jumping

Kind natured and really easy to do in the stable, he is excellent to catch, lead in, kind to groom and is good to load/ clip and super with the farrier.

This horse deserves a loving family home where he can enjoy a new career!

A very sad sale of my lovely mare but its time I admit my aspirations have changed and we are no longer a good fit together. Its time for her to go and make someone else very happy!

I bought Hooriya two years ago as a dressage project she has come on leaps and bounds in her flat work and schools nicely in all three paces. She has been out to dressage with me plenty of times and qualified for PetPlan regionals at prelim this past summer and certainly has the potential to move a bit further up the levels.
She has impeccable show manners, will stand on the lorry all day and whilst she can be curious is not spooky in new arenas.

She has also more recently been out showjumping where she behaved impeccably and popped round a course of 70 and 80 with no issues, she have never said no out jumping and it is clear its something she enjoys! Same goes for xc schooling she's bold and brave to a fence no reason she won't make a fabulous little eventer. Has seen coloured fences, water ditches, and steps and didn't bat an eye.

Out hacking she is an absolute pleasure, she has never put a foot wrong. She will go out alone, or in company leading or behind she is a real joy and not spooky. In her previous home she was hacked by a very novice rider.

Despite all of this she isnt suited to a complete novice, being a Thoroughbred she can be sharp when not in regular work, I believe she will thrive with a confident, kind rider who enjoys a horse with a bit of personality and can continue her education.

She also does have previous vet history which I am happy to discuss with anyone seriously interested in her. Please dont be put off this hasn't affected her in nearly two years!

-Easy to catch
-Good to load/shoe/clip/vet
-Lives in or out (currently stabled overnight but lives out over summer)
-Excellent doer and a real chunky type of a thoroughbred!
-I am open to discussions on price, potential to come with tack & wardrobe also.

The lovely Tally is looking for her new home after a very short and unsuccessful racing career.

Tally is very easy to do in all ways and is a lovely horse to have around. She has a lovely and kind temperament and loves a bit of attention.

Finished racing sound and healthy. She’s had some downtime and is now ready to get cracking with a job. She's a straightforward ride, has good paces and will make a nice all-rounder. She’s just come in from the field and had a little walk and trot under saddle, and she was quite happy. Tally hasn’t done any schooling, show jumping or XC - she is very much a project.

Injury and vice-free. She does have a small sarcoid on the inside of her offside hind.

Good to load and travel, good with the farrier and vet.

Looking for an experienced home that will give her lots of time and love. She wouldn’t suit a novice due to being a young ex-racehorse. Has been led out from another horse recently to start coming back into work. Available from the field due to not being in full work. Please, no timewasters.
