Carrot 
He is being sold not in work as I simply don’t have the time to ride him anymore and has been out of work for about 6 months. I have done everything with him and he will be the best horse for a confident person to enjoy.
He is not a novice ride.
He would suit someone wanting to jump round 80/90cm weather that be sj/ eventing with some hunting as he loves it! Very mannerly at the meet and will stand beautifully, will go infront or behind, he is not a front thruster that will jump huge hedges, I’ve jumped him over all the rails and small hedges/walls and has never said no!
Has done loads of run rides and never put a foot wrong.
He lives in or out (I do a bit of both depending on the time of year) he is very easy to do in all ways (clip, catch, farrier, dentist)
Never had an injury. (I’ve had him since 3yr old)
He needs bringing back into work (price reflects this) home is very important to me.
No loans and no dealers
Has got very slight parrot mouth but It is not an issue and I get the dentist every 6 months and never had any concerns.

  • Good to do

Safe, family horse, hacked and schooled by a 15 year old girl.

Oscar has been a real family horse, mainly ridden by a 15 year old girl but also hacked by an amateur Mum and safe enough for my 11 year old daughter to ride in the school.

He is the sort you can pick up and put down but he also does love to work.

He is a really good hack and excellent in the heaviest of traffic, whether on his own or in a group.

He has lovely paces and an unusually elevated trot.

He’s well schooled and would do a lovely dressage test. We just haven’t had time to compete him. In an ideal world he would love to live out. With us he is out all day and in a stable and pen at night and he is also really happy with this.

He does occasionally weave if he is stabled, mainly at feed times but doesn’t tend do this if he is out or in a pen. This is reflected in the price. He did race a few times as a youngster, but since then was in a home in Dartmoor where he mainly just hacked so he has low mileage.

Please WhatsApp for a video. Or for more information.

Reluctantly for Sale.
Aurora Charm
Small 16hh finely built, beautiful 6yo chestnut mare .

Very sadly I am offering my beautiful Girl for sale to only the best home!

I have owned Aurora for the last 2 years and have taken my time bringing her on, we have done loads of hacking including all-over the New forest national park, happily popping logs, crossing ditches and anything asked of her.

Recently we moved to a gorgeous yard in verwood that has excellent facilities and have very recently started her arena work, Aurora has proven to be exceptionally easy with this! And after only cantering for the first time in the arena last week she has now started popping jumps, she seems to thoroughly enjoy this.

I would not describe Aurora as a spooky or difficult horse and feel she would easily suit a mother daughter share, a teen coming off ponies or anyone wanting a sweet willing mare.
Although she can have her typical chestnut mare moments! (Happy to discuss in detail)
I am not looking for a novice home for Aurora due to her age (she is green) and the fact that she is an ex racehorse

Out hacking Aurora is happy in front or behind, this includes cantering, however she can have a jig jog about for no apparent reason but it is just that, and not malicious!

Excellent to load and travel as well as clip, she only wears shoes in front and does very well ?? recently had her teeth done by the equine dental clinic and up to date with physiotherapy.

Located in verwood BH31 with excellent trial facilities, open to any inspection

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Paris 

4-year-old | 16.1hh | Dark Grey Mare

Beautiful young mare with plenty of presence. Paris has been in training previously and has since had a break, now back in and ready to find her new home.

She is being offered exactly as she is, started riding her away in the arena, good as gold , lunges well, hacks alone, very bold in traffic; now ready for someone to carry on and produce further. An exciting blank canvas for the right person looking for a quality project.

Lovely type with lots to like and plenty of potential for the future.

She is being offered as a project although I have started her, but please no novices , she has a sensitive mouth and a very soft nature so someone with experience.

Has a slightly “ugly knee” where she knocked it as a youngster never causes any issues, cold and stays the same, just not completely blemish free

Retired sound no vices or injuries just too slow

Good feet

Krystal Maze
• 8-year-old
• 15.2hh
• Thoroughbred mare

Krystal is a lovely, athletic mare with a genuine and willing attitude to work. She thrives on having a job to do and would suit someone who enjoys proper work.
She is sensible and straightforward to manage — happily left for a few days and comes out exactly the same as she went in.

Krystal has been regularly ridden and handled by an intermediate 11-year-old rider and has taken part in yard pony activities, group activities, dressage, and some jumping, all sensibly.

She is currently being ridden by a 21-year old, who has been carrying on with her education and jumping.

Krystal is not a beginner’s ride as she is naturally forward-going, hacks out alone or in company. She is at her best with a soft, sympathetic rider who gives clear guidance and keeps her mentally engaged.

She is excellent to handle in all ways: easy to catch, shoe, and clip, with no vices.

Having raced, she is eligible for ROR classes, and will go far in the right hands.

She is currently being regularly schooled, and her price will increase as her work progresses.

Only offered for sale due to loss of interest in her and we don't have a role within our riding school for her right now.

Open to vetting.

Mouse is an eye-catching little mare who has spent the last year mainly hacking and occasionally working in the arena. Mouse is a very fast learner with a willing attitude. She has three correct paces, and already works in a consistent outline.

Only recently started jumping and is proving to be careful and not phased by fillers etc. Been to clear round jumping where she behaved impeccably and jumped clear round her first ever course! Also been to a dressage show picking up a rosette on first attempt.

Mouse is snaffle mouthed, polite to ride and does not rush to a fence. She will be a very competitive contender for ROR championships, whether that's dressage, SJ or eventing!

Kind personality, easy to clip, bath, shoe, travel etc. Hacks alone and in company. Happy living in or out.

Would suit anyone looking for a genuine young horse that has had a professional start to her education to go out and have fun on.

I just don’t have enough time that this horse deserves to thrive so it’s only fair to find her a new home.

Don’t let the fact she is a tb put you off as she really doesn’t behave like one.

She has been backed and has been mainly hacking and not rushed at all. She has slowly began work in the school and is gaining experience and confidence everyday. At the moment we are working on poles to gain muscle behind as she is currently weak.

She is as safe as houses and id trust her with the smallest of children she has a pure heart of gold.

If I had more time she wouldn’t be going anywhere as she will become something mega as she has so much potential.

She is only green but she doesn’t display this in a nasty way she just needs clear instructions through good riding.

Serious enquiries only as I don’t want to be messed around and she needs a good loving home.

She is priced accordingly and can come with a full wardrobe

Looking for a new home on behalf of owner - 7yo 16hh approx Tb gelding, eligible for RoR.

Tip is a super fun little horse. He has done plenty of hunting in previous home and did lots of common riding last summer with teenage boy. He is forward going but doesn’t buck or rear.

He schools very well and would be fantastic for RoR classes.

He popped round some jumps and showed a great attitude to learn with natural talent to match.

He loads and travels in the trailer well, is easy to work with and stands well for the farrier.

He is known to occasionally wind suck after eating.
