Peely is a retrained racehorse who is schooling at 90cm with scope to go higher. She’s super straightforward on the flat and to jump and is never silly or strong. She hacks well and is good to do on the yard.

She is a pleasure to have on the yard. She has been on my yard since last summer and has taken to her retraining wonderfully. She has been schooling off the yard a handful of times and stands nicely on the lorry and is very quiet in new environments. She will make a lovely all rounder and PC horse.

15.2/3hh 6yo mare

Very sweet and straightforward little horse with no quirks or hangups at all. Extremely easy to have around, perfect manners for all handling, travelling, stands quietly at shows etc

She is out doing BD (Prelim) with 1st and 2nds as well as SJ and arena eventing. She's getting better in her dressage every time out and definitely will go up the levels. She hacks out alone or in company and doesn't get hot in open spaces or with other horses galloping about. Lots of potential and will continue to improve with the right rider, or will happily stay at the lower levels if required.

Eligible ROR championships and has qualified for the regional championships in dressage and the Pet Plan BD champs

BD name "Centrallia"

She has flat feet and thin soles so we shoe her with pads, but she won't pass a vetting as is currently 1/10 lame on a hard circle. However she is sound on a surface and so is ideally suited to someone who wants to do dressage or jump in arenas. Hard ground is not her friend! She is out competing with no issues.

Was £8500 originally but this is vastly reduced in light of the above.

Belle

Raced 3 times as a 2 year old and came dead last in all races. Was pretty rubbish to be honest

Easy to do in all ways. Easy to have on the yard, ground manners are impeccable, my 9 year old can handle her. She is my 9 year old favourite to groom as she loves a fuss.

We’ve had her out at clinics, schooling cross country and show jumping. She has not put a foot wrong.

3 established paces. Show jumping she’s proving to be bold, we have had her over 60/70cm single fences and a filler. Cross country she seems pretty brave but only gone over 50cm fences. She rides green over a fence lacking straightness.

Hacks out fine doesn’t change in a field. Can be spooky. Haven’t hacked her on her own due to being on a main road.

Snaffle mouthed

Would be a lovely little cheap project for someone to give her some more education.

This little mare needs a home where they can continue her education. This mare has a great head on her and comes out everyday better and really wants to please. Price reflects her age and that she is green.

Although she is green she has never bucked or reared or been nasty.

Being sold for a friend who has had her a year and a half, but is wasted with them as they are paying for staff to ride her and she is taking up a stable.

She is up to date with feet, vaccinations teeth and physio.

She hacks alone or in company.

Jazzy last ran over Christmas, she has had some downtime & began her retraining since then with potential to excel in any sphere.

Jazzy does established flatwork, she has three balanced flashy paces and carries herself correctly. She has been well schooled & educated, works happily off your leg and hand. Snaffle mouthed.

She has also jumped some basic showjumps taking it all in her stride. She is careful and scopey. Bigger the better but slightly green due to lack of experience in this department. She has also done a days hunting whilst she was in training.

She has been to a local show where she took it all in well and won the ROR Equifest qualifier class with brilliant comments from both ride & confirmation judges.

She is more slow than go but does occasionally get excited in new environments, merely a jig jog and a blow of the nose but settles down into it once she works out she’s not at the races. I ride her to the field in a headcollar.

She is well mannered with a very kind character, always trots over to you in the field. Loves being brushed and being made a fuss of, a princess in that sense.

Has hacked out alone or in company around open fields & lanes, never silly or strong. Good in traffic.

Lives in & out in company. Good to shoe (currently with just fronts.) No vices. No previous injuries.

Please don’t be put off by her size I am 5’5ft as seen in pictures. Wouldn’t suit a nervous or novice rider due to her age and inexperience.

She will go XC schooling and to an arena hire with a course of SJ if she hasn’t gone in the meantime.

No loans. No payment plans. No timewasters, no day trippers. We are a busy yard. Serious enquiries only.

Beautiful 5 year old bay mare, retired from racing in Autumn 2024 as not fast enough. She is a stunning looking horse who is eligible for ROR and has a promising future as a show horse. She has a great temperament and is clean limbed and sound. She moves well and is snaffled mouthed.

She has done loads of hacking on roads and open fields, unbothered by traffic, heavy machinery, proving very sensible. She’s easy and quiet to ride on the flat, has started jumping proving brave and not bothered by fillers.

She is still green in her work due to her young age and learning a new job so not suitable for a novice or nervous rider. She is quite a light framed thoroughbred so will need a lighter rider, possibly suiting a competent teenager.

She loads onto a lorry or trailer, and has been out to a few clinics and lots of arena hires and schooling improving every time. She’s good to do in every way, and currently turned out in a mixed herd.

She would make a fantastic all rounder for someone looking for a classy horse on a budget.

Super completion at first Cotswold Cup.

So much more to come from this mare. Ready to get going and give her new owner a lot of fun.

She is forward going and can be excitable therefore no novices.

Ex racer, had successful career, and retired sound and healthy excellent breeding, for sale on behalf of his owner, he last raced last year, lightly re schooled being brought on slowly. A sensitive soul, with a loving character.

Loves hacking out. Not strong or silly, snaffle mouthed, but needs a confidence giving rider.

In school work he is slightly unsure, but is getting better. I can't fault him going places like the beach, farm rides, he loads himself, he's lovely to take anywhere. He will excel at something like endurance he will go all day.

I think he's had a rough time at some point but once he trusts you he will try anything you ask. This boy deserves a permanent one to one loving home and he will go far. He's seen poles and has tried his best. I'm sure he'll get better the more i do with him.

He hacks alone and in company. Good with his feet , grooming etc. I have a real soft spot for him. Home is extremely important.

Experienced over 18's only, no lwvb, dealers, dreamers, I have many videos, showing everything, he is very genuine, just needs miles under his belt.

Home extremely important. Priced so as to weed out the genuine ones.

Joey is a lovely TB, he's been in training but never raced, I bought him as a 3 year old gave him some field time, and since becoming a 4 year old, he has taken to re training very well.

He goes sweetly on the flat walk, trot and canter,

Pops round small course of fences including fillers, has been out to school hires as well as a couple of local shows where he behaved so well.

Hacks out alone, and is great in traffic,

Joey will make someone such a lovely horse , he loves his cuddles and has such a laid back attitude,
