***MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!!!***

Desperately seeking a genuine, safe, 15-16hh (Max), as a Low-Level Allrounder for a very experienced mature, Lady Rider (5’4”, 9 Stone). Due to circumstances out of my control, still seeking my Forever Horse for Hacking, Lessons/Clinics, Riding Club, Local Shows/Events (including: Dressage, SJ, XC, ODE, SHowing), Fun Rides (but absolutely NO Hunting needed.). Geldings preferred but ‘Non-Mare-ish’ Mares considered!

Must, happily:

 HACK ALONE (and in company occasionally)
Travel alone (7.5T Horsebox)
 NO Vices
Live out 24/7 (but rugged/clipped as appropriate with Field Shelter and Stable)
Good in traffic
Turn-out with other ponies or on it’s own (next to others)
‘Independent Brain’/Non-Stresser - Hacking, Travelling, occasionally turning out alone)
TB’s/TB x/ISH Type

No Vices
No Buckers, Rearers, Bolters, Nappers
No known KS or SI Issues
No Heavy Types

This will be a pleasure ‘Forever Horse’ for myself; looking for a few years of fun and then happy to provide a retirement home. We keep two other old ponies (one 28 years old and one 16 years old) that we have owned for 11 years (and they are going nowhere!); we also keep a couple of Dogs, Chickens and a Pigmy Goat on our Small Holding.

Very experienced Rural, Private home offered and professional references can be provided. Said horse is never going to be over-worked (probably ridden 3-5 times/week and fun things/competitions probably once a month). Would suit a horse that someone just doesn’t want to completely let-go-of/wants to stay in touch. Something that needs to take a slower pace of life but still needs to be active. Don’t mind certain medical issues providing they are disclosed, or horses needing to come back into work (providing they were sane beforehand!).

Permanent/Long-Term Loan preferred.
LWVTB Considered
Possible Sale but No ridiculous prices, please.

If you think you have my Unicorn, please contact! (As close to East Anglia as possible, please). Thank you for reading!

An unspoilt 4 year old brown filly standing at around 15.2hh, who we have decided is too small to race.

She has been produced carefully from being broken as a 3 year old and then turned away to mature. She is a quiet, well behaved filly who has just started to jump coloured poles.

She hacks alone or in company. 

All prices are negotiable as a good home is more important and prices include VAT. Other horses also available as companions.

Rose is a 15.3 bay mare with no vices although she can gurn!

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.

  • Eligible for Badminton grassroots
  • Eligible for ROR classes

Henry is a 15.3hh 7 year old full TB gelding who is eligible for ROR classes. He has beautiful paces and is straightforward and brave to a fence.

Henry started eventing last June and has already gained 68 foundation points, being 2nd in 4 BE 100’s. He nearly always scores in the 20’s dressage, and has jumped double clears in his last 5 BE100 runs.

Henry is the sweetest horse to have at home. He has exceptional manners, travels by himself and patiently stands and waits for his turn. He is kind and friendly and goes out with others horses.

Henry is a forward going but safe ride. He never spooks and is brave at all xc fences.

He is a forward hack but good in all traffic and is settling more and more all of the time.

Henry is ready to go out and give someone lots of fun out eventing. He is eligible for Badminton grassroots and would be very competitive. He would also move up the levels but just needs a bit more time than we currently have to gain strength in his SJ.

Good to box, shoe and clip etc.

Please call if you are interested and leave a voicemail and I’ll get back to you.

Dawn has been hacked out both alone and in company, she is happy enough to lead or follow.

Dawn is currently ridden daily by a variety of riders including a lightweight novice, she recently left racing but is sane and straightforward so will make a lovely riding horse.

Dawn would be perfectly suited to someone that enjoys hacking or hunting or someone that's willing to put some hours into school work as she is green in the school due to racing, but very willing attitude to learn.

Absolutely stunning ex- racer

£4,000 ONO
  • Thoroughbred
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 6 years
  • 15.3 hands (AHC)

15.3 tb mare 6 years old.

RoR eligible,

Iv owned Jabula for almost 3 years and before she came to me she had been professionally schooled.

We decided to breed a foal from her and she had a super colt foal by a riding pony stallion.

She has now been in full work approximately 8 weeks and she has slotted back in to work lovely.

She has 3 balanced paces and has a lovely soft mouth( she is just ridden in a rubber snaffle)

She is good on the road and in open spaces.

Although she isn’t sharp or silly she does like to work and we feel that she would be more suited to someone who has experience with thoroughbreds.

She is easy to deal with, good to bath/shoe etc.

She has been seen to weave but it’s not all the time, just mainly at feed times.

It’s a real sad sale but I have retained her foal and I just don’t have time for the two and I feel she needs more than what I can give her.

She is not a suitable first horse and not suitable for a novice so please don’t ask me… she also is not available for loan!

Someone will have a lot of fun with her and I’d love to keep in touch with the new owners . More pictures and videos available

15.3hh 9YO ROR mare

Missy is the ultimate amateurs horse. Easy to do in all ways. Hacks alone and in company, first or last past all traffic.

She has hunted, taken part in fun rides, XC schooled and pops a course of showjumps at 90/1m.

Smart on the flat, with three correct paces and would produce a very competitive dressage test.

She previously raced on the flat but was far too slow.

Sad sale through no fault of her own, due to owners ill health.

Good to clip, shoe etc. Does mildly wind suck, but causes her no issues.

Kind home sought for this very special mare.

More mature lady who has ridden all her life looking for her last horse. Would prefer around 10 year old who has seen a bit of life but not adverse to younger if sensible, preferably gelding but would consider a mare if it ticked all the right boxes.

Must be good to hack alone & in traffic, polite on the ground & good to catch,clip shoe etc. would live at home with my other 2 horses who have access to grass during the day & good size all weather turnout with field shelters overnight, I have stables if weather is very bad.

Home for life, references available, home check welcome.

Budget flexible for the right horse.

‘Our Mathilda’ Mathilda was imported from Ireland a year and a half ago, where she came out of training as being ‘too slow’. Which is very easy to appreciate as sometimes she can be described as a cob in a tb suit! She is a relaxed and easy little horse and will mooch out hacking on the buckle end all day!

Mathilda is working well in the school and has began her education in flat work. She has taken to this like a duck to water. She is intelligent and willing to learn and work and enjoys her job. She has a lovely mouth and works consistently on the bridle in walk, trot and canter. She has been out to a couple of dressage tests and was fabulous in the lorry/warm up/and not spooky at the boards/car!

She has a lovely pop, and is bold over all fillers. She isn’t spooky atall, and has been to show jumping clear round show. We have kept the fences small (70cms) as she is still developing her technique and confidence around a course, but she has lots of scope to go on to be a top end riding club horse.

She hacks alone and in company, is good in all traffic. I have passed tractors and motorcycles and she has been good as gold. She’s not a spooky horse in any way and I have never found her to be sharp. She never naps and enjoys to be out and about, ears always pricked!

Mathilda is good to shoe- stands tied up for the farrier to shoe alone. she can fidget a little with her hinds but never lashes out or kicks and this has improved with each shoeing.

Mathilda will happily live in or out. She turns out in with other mares I don’t personally mix mares and geldings but she is a quiet type and I’ve never noticed if or when she is in season, so I wouldn’t say she is a Mareish horse atall. She never pulls a face or puts her ears back at you.

Mathilda loads onto my 3.5 lorry easily and travels well, I haven’t had her in a trailer as I don’t have one, but it is known that she travels on one from previous owners. She will stand at a show on the lorry when her friend is taken away with no bother.

She moves straight and correct and her flat work is coming on all the time, i think Mathilda would excel in a riding club home, I see her as being a fabulous event horse as she is so bold and willing and generous wither work ethic. She is straight moving and has a lovely trot so would also excel in RoR showing classes or pure dressage.

Mathilda is vice free and has clean limbs, no sarcoids, sweet itch.

Doesn’t include tack/wardrobe.

Open to any vetting

Up to date with teeth, physio and vaccinations.

This is a little horse that I am very very fond of, so 5* home is paramount!
