Based at Rolleston Centre

Meet Tea Garden, a beautiful mare who is looking for her new home as a non-ridden companion. Tea Garden would suit a home where she can be loved, pampered and create a bond with her new borrower.

Tea Garden is currently living out 24/7 in a mixed herd but will happily be stabled if this suits her new home. Due to her type she can take extra grass and doesn’t require any restrictions making her the perfect addition to any herd. She does get attached to her horsey friends so requires equine company at all times.

Tea Garden is progressing well in her general handling and is good to groom, have her feet picked out and is well mannered for the vet and farrier. Once she trusts you she will be your new best friend.

Can you offer Tea Garden a loving home?

WANTED - Fun all rounder

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

- Based at our Burford centre -

Nala is a lovely thoroughbred mare looking for a kind, knowledgeable home as a non-ridden companion only.

She is currently living happily in a small mare herd and could potentially be introduced to geldings with a careful, sensible introduction. Nala is adaptable in her routine and is happy to part-stable or live out. She enjoys fuss and attention from people she knows and trusts, and builds strong bonds with her handlers.

Nala would thrive in a home that can offer consistency, reassurance, and a low-pressure lifestyle. She is good to catch and has responded well to groundwork, and would benefit from continued in-hand work and confidence-building to keep her young brain active!

If you feel you can offer Nala a safe, patient, and loving companion home, we would love to hear from you.

Lily is one of those horses that captures your heart, with a personality to die for. She has the calmest soul and is extremely loving and willing.

Lily was trained with Tim Easterby Racing and has had an excellent start to her education and remains unraced. She is eligible for all RoR, including their showing series which she would excel in. She is a perfect stamp, with elegant, straight-from-the-shoulder movement for a career as a small hack/ ladies hack.

Lily is fantastic to load and travel and has been out to pole clinics and arena hires where she behaved impeccably.

She has jumped over small fences but due to her age this has been kept to a minimum and as an introduction only. She is brave and honest over a fence and creates a lovely shape.

On the flat she schools beautifully with 3 correct paces, is willing and learns quickly. Due to her age she is green and requires a knowledgeable home that will continue to produce the talent in this mare.

Lily happily lives out in a mixed herd currently and would make a brilliant all rounder/mother daughter share.

  • Flower Festival (Jasmine) Sire Dubawi
  • Easy to catch and handle on the ground
  • Good with traffic

Jasmine is a lovely 12-year-old, 15.3hh chestnut Thoroughbred mare. She has three balanced. She has been jumping up to 60cm, last summer.

Jasmine is good in traffic and is easy to handle, shoe, and catch. She is not a novice ride, as she is sharp and can spook at new things, so she would suit a confident, patient rider. She is not nasty or strong and is genuine.

She is up to date with vaccinations, recently had her teeth done, and is currently in work. Her back has been X-rayed and she has been scoped for ulcers, with no issues found.

Jasmine would suit an experienced adult rider. We have owned her for approximately 18 months, but sadly she is not the right horse for my daughter, who needs something braver that will happily jump all day.

This is not an easy decision for us at all. But we have too many in the same classes including our home breds.

Monkey has been with us for 2 years and has slowly been brought on. He has been on ride rounds and experienced lots of different places . He is an absolute pleasure to do at home and is the sweetest horse on the yard .

Last season he won novice hack classes and qualified for RI as a large hack.

He is ready to go now and flourish he is eligible for the ROR class and we feel he could be incredibly successful in this class as well as the hacks and intermediates.

Please serious enquiries only . Home is very important for us. He is a tb so not suitable for novices.

Simba is a beautiful young horse with a brilliant attitude to work and learn.

He ran once over hurdles as a 3 year old, making him eligible for ROR.

A real natural mover, and already works nicely on the flat. He floats across the ground.

He has jumped small coloured poles and fillers, and didn't bat an eyelid. He is very genuine and very grown up for his age.

Simba is fabulous out hacking, alone and in company. He has been on beach rides and across open commons.

He also had a morning out Autumn hunting.
