Wallace is our gorgeous tb gelding he has been with us since he was 3 years old, he was broken in properly as an event horse not a race horse, his manners are amazing he’s such an easy horse to have around the whole family can ride him!

He doesn’t get silly if he’s not ridden I ride and lead off of him in open fields, he has hunted a couple of times has raced lightly very successfully, hes such a genuine horse who is very close to us, he will only go to a 5 star home he means the world to us and will be very hard to replace, excellent in traffic uphill ride

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.

Stunning 16.1hh, 5yo, Thoroughbred, Bay Mare

‘Molly’ is a very flashy young horse that has been started correctly following a short racing career.

She has exceptional paces and has received very complimentary marks from dressage judges. This, I believe is a discipline that Molly would excel, BD or ROR, she really is very eye catching .

Molly has also competed in ODE’s being placed unaffiliated eventing. She has proven to be very brave and bold XC and has seen a variety of fences including steps, ditches etc.

Molly is also excellent to hack out both alone and in company, unfazed by traffic and large machinery.

Ideally a home with experience of TB’s for this lovely mare.

We believe Molly has the potential to go far in the right hands whether this be dressage, eventing or team chasing.

Reluctant sale due to a change in work commitments. 5* home required for this talented horse.

Home much more important than price!

Absolutely beautiful in every way, movement , looks and temperament this gentleman has it all!

Hacks out alone or in company, happy to lead or go behind. Perfect lead horse just gets on with his job!

3 balanced paces, and works beautifully, really floaty and so effortless! Would excel in a dressage arena.

Raced on the flat but LOVES his jumping, only jumped a couple of times is very bold with a very willing fantastic attitude , not fazed at all

would suit an ambitious amateur or competent teenager looking to do more, Charlie just wants to be ridden and enjoy himself

Very bold! And so professional, bombproof in the heaviest of traffic! Crosses A roads, cars and trailers not an issue, perfect with farm machinery working right next to the arena

Good in open fields; will walk, trot or canter whatever you ask him to do. Go in front or behind.

a really fun horse with heaps of potential

a lot of fun and very eye catching

Charlie is fit and ready to go out and about!

Charlie has been away to a showjumping/working hunter course, whilst he is green in his jumping he is proving willing and enjoys going out and about ??

And been to fun rides which he loves and has behaved impeccably; ridden by my mum, so would be a perfect mother daughter share

Please note he isn’t a novice ride, he is always safe and always snaffle mouthed but needs an experienced/confident rider who enjoys a horse that wants to work and have fun

No vices or injuries . Never bites or kicks or pulls a face, he is a very friendly person

7 year old TB Chesnut gelding 15.3

A very sad sale of a super all rounder. Rockett is a very genuine horse who has competed up to BE90 with top ten results.

He is a beautiful horse to ride, with a soft mouth and rhythmical places, the judges love him. He won a ROR regional championship with over 70%. Regularly 68% at BD novice. He is extremely trainable and enjoys his work.

He is an extremely honest jumper, happily will take a miss and find a fifth leg to help you out. Completely unphased but what he jumps with plenty of scope he would be perfect for some aiming at Badminton Grassroots. He has also been placed at ROR worker classes at county level. Enjoys beach rides hacking alone & in company.

Rockett has the kindest temperament and wonderful manners. He easiest horse to shod / clip / box / stable etc.

He can be ridden bareback to the field - he really is the perfect gentleman.

5 star homes only please.
