Beautifully Bred RoR who is up to carrying weight. He has full 9 inches of bone and doesn't look like a TB.

He has hunted in Dorset and Gloucestershire, and loves jumping.

He did novice team chases as a 5 year old, and has been recently reminded me of the flatwork that he had.

offers
  • Experienced home on farm awaits with lightweight adult rider
  • I’m searching for a best friend with a safe, fun attitude to life
  • Gelding preferred (due to 2 mares on had already)
I’m on the lookout for a fun but safe set of hooves, ideally fitting the following criteria:
• 148-158cm
• gelding
• under 15 years (this is non-negotiable)
• must travel on a trailer
• must hack alone and in company without major quirks inc. napping and bucking
• must be a nice person to handle, no kickers
• horses with veterinary history considered with full disclosure, but no rehab projects
• bonus if they already know how to ride and lead (I have small children)
• something that doesn’t need riding every day and wouldn’t mind a break of up to a week between riding when necessary (I’m a nurse and work shifts)
• able to turnout in a mixed herd (1 other gelding and 1 mare, next to another mixed herd of 3)

In return I can offer:
• experienced (lifelong pony/horse owner) home
• daily turnout come rain or snow
• reasonably competent riding! I’ve previously competed at BE Novice and done lots of BD but have ridden very little in past 18 months
• I have a soft spot for thoroughbreds, but would prefer them to have some life experience outside of racing
• ideally I’d like to do some BD, some low level jumping clinics (90 ish) and lots of hacking. If I haven’t lost my nerve then maybe some low-level BS and BE
• I’m 5’3” and pretty consistently about 55-56kgs so ponies are welcome
• my horses are looked after to very high standards and want for nothing

Please send asking price along with initial information. Realistic budget available.
I’m based in Cambridgeshire but willing to travel for the right horse/pony

Stunning 7yo 16,1 Chestnut Mare – ROR / Event / Riding Club Prospect
By Ulysses x Penny Lane Forever

Ren is a beautiful 7-year-old chestnut mare, retired from racing in February 2024 and carefully retrained since. Having previously ridden her as a work rider, I brought her home to give her the time and education for a new career.

She is a quality type with exceptional movement, naturally balanced paces and the presence to really stand out. Ren would make a super RoR prospect, riding club horse, event type or all-rounder for someone looking to produce a talented mare.

Fantastic breeding – Ulysses lines
Beautiful, balanced paces
ROR / Event / Dressage prospect
Hacks happily alone or in company
Kind nature and enjoys her work
Proven broodmare – excellent mother

Ren is now coming back into ridden work, but sadly due to lack of time she is looking for her next partner. She thrives when she has a job and will reward someone who wants to continue her education.

A genuine, eye-catching mare with huge potential in the right hands.

  • Wonderful kind boy looking for a new home
  • A smart well bred 16.1 , 16 year old ex event horse looking for a new best friend
  • To enjoy low level RC Dressage and Hacking

Monty is a smart well bred 16.1 , 16 year old ex event horse looking for a new best friend to enjoy low level RC Dressage and Hacking .

Monty is a well schooled /educated relaxed chappie but due to some medical issues that will be FULLY disclosed he would suit someone experienced and balanced wanting to have a quieter life not jumping and not someone wanting to be out every weekend competing.

Monty will produce a super test and thoroughly enjoys going out training and competing, Monty also enjoys hacking and is forward thinking and confident out on his own and in company.

Monty would benefit from a smaller lighter rider and to be preferably kept on flatter fields as ours are very hilly along with our hacking , we feel this will benefit his long term well being .

Monty loves being out in the field , he wouldn’t be a horse to keep in all through the winter but it also happy to come in ie for the night or in during the day what ever your routine maybe .

Monty has no vices at all and is exceptionally easy to have around . Homes absolutely will be vetted as we really don’t want the lovely boy passed around.

This lovely big mare by pethers moon is smart, good looking and stands out in any crowd.

Peppa has done just about everything.

She has raced, team chased and hunted with her previous owners.

I bought her to produce and then help her find her perfect home.

I have been out show jumping, to somerford park farm ride, Cannock chase and hacked out alone and in company.

She just seems to get on with everything you throw at her.

I have also been concentrating on her flat work. Walk and trot she stays in a lovely outline. Her canter is coming on well.

She has had her teeth done, is fully vaccinated new shoes are on so Is ready for her next chapter in her life.

She has a scar on her back leg where she was kicked at her previous home which does not affect her performance in any way.

I have lots of pictures and videos of her that I can send on request.

This horse will be perfect for someone who wants to get out there, turn heads and hae lots of fun.
