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 couple of small sarcoids, none that would interfere with tack.

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.

Draft pick. A outstanding example of a TB. Dark bay 16.2HH 12yo gelding. Dick has been retired from racing a while now and is completely retrained as a allrounder. He is beautifully schooled, moves and floats across the ground effortlessly.

He has done multiple dressage competitions, showjumping competitions, rallies, pole lessons, cross country and hunter trails, beach rides and hunting. There isn’t anything he won’t do.

Solid as a rock to hack alone or in company, been ridden down busy A roads, country lanes, big open fields and you can lead your child on their pony off of him! He is incredibly easy to do anything with, shoe box catch clip travel etc. His temperament is great and he really is one of the best put together TBs on the market.

He is eligible for ROR classes and without a doubt would be hard to beat! He would suit anyone who is capable and experienced, he has been ridden lots by a 14yo girl. Would suit any type of home from hacking to hunting and everything inbetween.

A real yard favourite. He does windsuck, very mild and only at feed time. If this slightly puts you off, don’t enquire about him.

Sweeney is a fantastic allrounder. He is such a fun horse to ride and a pleasure to have around. He has a brilliant brain, and loves to learn and please.

Has previously raced, but has been slowly and carefully produced into a really super all rounder.

He has attended regular lessons, clinics, fun rides and arena hires.

Has been to dressage shows, SJ, and eventing. WON the 70 Cotswold Cup at Pontispool and Double clear Barbury Cotswold Cup 70 last year. This year he has competed at Cirencester and Calsmden 80 double clear, alongside unaffiliated SJ at 90.

Great to hack, load, shoe and clip.

If you seriously want to have fun - this is your horse! He’s full of get up and go, but in a very controllable way with a sensible brain.

Extremely sad and genuine sale of a very loved horse. Only available due to owner returning home to Australia.

Sweeney does have a mild stringholt, but this does not affect his performance.

Based near Swindon.

Talented, Genuine & Full of Character – 11yo 16hh Thoroughbred Gelding Jack — a smart, kind-hearted gelding who’s been a real joy to have around. He’s a talented all-rounder with plenty of ability and a big heart. We’ve had so much fun with him, and now we’d love to find him a confident, experienced rider who will enjoy him as much as we have.

Jack has a great record both at home and out competing. Most recently, he placed 2nd in a large combined training class, jumping a lovely clear and confidently tackling 12 cross-country fences. He’s been round BE90, takes everything in his stride, and is bold and genuine with ditches, steps, and water. Cross-country is definitely one of his happy places — he’s brave, straightforward, and always tries his best.

He’s also a pleasure to hack — happy to go first or last, alone or in company, and has a lovely balanced canter in open spaces. On the flat, he works nicely in a soft outline and listens well to his rider. He’s been to plenty of showjumping outings too, with placings at 90cm and 1m, showing both scope and carefulness over his fences.

Jack is a real gentleman to handle — easy to catch, shoe, load, and take out. That said, he’s a sensitive soul who thrives with a confident, kind rider who enjoys a horse with a bit of personality. He’s not a novice ride, but in capable hands he’s endlessly rewarding and great fun.

If you’re looking for a genuine, talented partner to enjoy both at home and out competing — someone you can really build a partnership with — Jack could be your perfect match.

Smurf is an absolute dude. Having been in his current home for 6yrs, he has been placed at several unaffiliated events before enjoying 3 seasons of BE80, placed top 10 several times, highest placing was 3rd on a 27.5 dressage.

Qualified & completed 3 of the regional championships and this year completed the be80 national championships at Chillington. Done all riding club teams, arena eventing and dressage with many placings.

This horse is absolutely brilliant in traffic and has regularly had a 9yo enjoy him after Mummy has ridden!

Very sad sale, good loving home essential.

Price is negotiable and includes a full wardrobe.

Gentleman to ride


Ref #: 392099
  • Nicely schooled, not sharp or spooky
£7,000
  • Thoroughbred

  • Gelding
  • 11 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Nicely schooled, not sharp or spooky

I have owned Bertie for 4 years, he is nicely schooled, not sharp or spooky.

I have him at home, so he has had to be safe as I mainly ride on my own with no one around. I haven’t really persued jumping as not my thing but he has hunted in previous home. We are out and about regularly and he is easy to deal with solely.

Bertie doesn’t need riding constantly, my best dressage scores and lessons are after a week or two off!! Never silly just the same, never needed to lunge before hand, so he fits into a busy life.

Always scores high 60’s in prelim never out of the placing.

We have had a go at side saddle last year which he took to amazingly. ROR eligible

Always snaffled mouthed, great to hack out, mostly done on his own. He happily canters steady in stubbles. Lives out at present.

He does wind suck,(price reflects this) but ticks every other box so please do not be put off by this, does not effect his weight he is a chunky monkey!

Will only be sold to a 5 star home and is fit and out and about doing a job so please no time wasters as it’s not an easy decision to sell but work and family commitments are a juggling act and he deserves more than I can give him.
