Sonic 16.1hh 10year old tbi

Sonic is not your typical Thoroughbred he is a chunky, good-doing type with a genuine brain, making him a rare find in today’s market. Horses that combine rideability, bravery, and versatility like this are increasingly hard to source.

While he is straightforward and genuine, he is not a novice ride. Sonic is an enthusiastic horse who loves a job, and as such would be best suited to a competent rider who will enjoy and channel his energy. In the right hands, he has all the attributes to be a fantastic competition horse.

He is an “everyone’s ride” type in terms of temperament and attitude, yet still bold enough to jump, event, and step up competitively, giving him a wide appeal for those wanting something fun but capable.

Everyone rides him here; he leads the breakers, schools beautifully, is super enthusiastic about jumping! Hacks on the buckle end.

With proven experience across cross country, showjumping, fun rides, a season hunting and low-level eventing, alongside his ability to hack alone or in company, Sonic offers a ready-made, all-round package saving a new owner significant time, effort, and production costs.

Currently competing 90cm showjumping, rarely touches a pole and never says no; he is stepping up to 1m classes next week and is also entered for novice level dressage test where I am almost certain he should score in the 70% which is where most of his dressage scores lye currently.

He was entered to team chase the first weekend he arrived , which reflects his scope and enthusiasm for the job, but unfortunately didn’t run due to personal circumstances no fault of his own.

His attitude is what truly sets him apart:

* Genuine and willing
* Loves his job
* Bold and brave to a fence
* Consistent in different environments

These types of horses are the crème de la creme they are safe and fun, but with enough blood and enthusiasm to be competitive are always in high demand. Sonic will be a chilled laid back happy hacker or will step up and become that high blood competition horse as soon as you ask!

No injuries or vices
A rather extensive portfolio to say the least!

  • Outstanding temperament
  • RoR eligible
Henry is an exciting future prospect for dressage, eventing, show jumping. He ran on the flat so is RoR eligible. Retired from racing sound.

Henry is continuing his education in all disciplines. He has competed in dressage placing first and second in his classes and qualifying for Amersham dressage championships. He had great comments from the judge and has expressive, straight moving paces. He is picking up lateral work and changes nicely.

He has schooled over coloured poles and his first show jumping competition saw him gain a first and fifth placing qualifying for Trailblazers and Sunshine Tour. He is learning all the time with his jumping and is showing great scope, having a try at everything and not stopping. He really enjoys this and takes his rider into a fence.

He has cross country schooled jumping all the fences you would find on a cross country course including ditches and goes through water, and loves it.

Henry hacks out alone and in company and is absolutely rock solid in traffic. He is not fazed by artics, tractors, large trailers etc. He is good to load, catch, shoe, clip, bath. He will stand on the lorry at shows with no fuss and wait his turn. He turns out with others in a mixed herd with no issues.

Henry's outstanding temperament will stand him in good stead for the future. He loves nothing more than a fuss and a cuddle and is quiet to handle in all respects.

He has no vices, is up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming.

Henry is easy to ride but no novices please.

Lots of videos available.

Attractive 15.3hh 7yr old Bay Tb Mare by Kodi Bear out of Angel De La Gesse

3 nice paces and working sweetly on the flat; genuine and straightforward to a fence showing a promising technique.

Good to hack out alone or company and proven sensible in open spaces and traffic. Raced on the flat before retiring as a 3yr old after 6 starts therefore eligible for ROR series.

She does have a scar on her shoulder and a blemish on her near hind therefore not suitable for the show ring. Will weave whether that’s in the stable or tied up. Good to handle, catch, shoe.

She’s ready to be produced further and would make a nice allrounder/RC horse.

Annie, is a 15h 2022 thoroughbred with great potential for most disciplines. she really loves her job and would thrive with consistent work, very much a blank canvas for someone to put there stamp on and to have fun doing it.

She is still a young green mare so would require a competent and confident rider to help further her education.

Annie is being sold from the field as sadly i do not have the time to ride her on myself, pleas feel free to get in touch with if you would like to know more about this verry sweet little mare.

Please note Annie will not be sold to anyone under 16 as she is still very young.

Tango 5-year-old thoroughbred mare

We have had tango since she was a 3-year-old after proving she was not cut out for racing. After only 2 races.

Since we have had Tango, our daughter rode her just having fun taking her on lots of hacks, school/pole work etc, and she showed willing and is eager to please. She loves fuss and is easy to handle. And was proving she would make a great ROR for somebody.

We decided to turn her out for 12 months to give her time to mature and have a break. In the meantime, we bought an experienced showjumper, and my daughter is now too busy with qualifiers to bring tango on to her full potential. We our looking for a loving home who has the time to carry where we left off.

**Available at a reduced rate before we bring her in and start doing work with her again, which will increase it.*.

Super smart striking dark bay TB 8yr old mare. She has an extremely kind temperament and willing nature, with plenty of potential for someone wanting to continue producing a talented allrounder.

She has three balanced, attractive paces and shows good scope and ability over a fence, making her an exciting prospect to progress up the levels. Since retiring from her racing career, she has been carefully retrained, taking part in dressage, show jumping, and cross country, where she particularly enjoys her jumping, proving to be very confident. She is incredibly brave and willing to a fence and always tries her best.

She is also fantastic to hack, both alone and in company, and takes everything in her stride. Easy enough for a teenage girl to go out hacking for miles on her own.

On the yard, she is an absolute pleasure to have around with a kind, affectionate nature and no nastiness whatsoever. She is easy to catch, load, shoe, clip, and handle in all ways, and is loved by everyone who meets her. Unlike most thoroughbreds she has good feet.

On the flat, she is currently working at a basic level and continues to improve consistently with regular schooling. She is still progressing in her education, and can occasionally have a green moment, therefore she would not suit a complete novice rider. However, she is genuine, willing, and straightforward, making her an exciting horse for someone wanting a quality mare to continue producing.

She has had no health issues with us, and has been a genuine pleasure to have and produce. Only for sale due to exam and university commitments. She will only go to the right home who will continue to do her justice.

3 seriously flashy paces, working To medium level at home with a very trainable attitude. Plenty of ability to go on up the levels.

He’s got a super careful jump and is a genuine horse across country. He loves his work but has shown he’s not quite brave enough at novice level.

He’s good enough in the flat to be competitive at Badminton grassroots or U18s, he’d also be a fab pony club horse and would qualify for championships across all disciplines.

A very sad sale of a much loved horse, sadly finances mean I can’t keep him just to enjoy myself.
No novices or nervouses please, this horse loves his work and wants someone to match his enthusiasm.

SELLEY

Been in the same home the last four years and this is a very sad sale on behalf of her owner.

ROR eligible but only very lightly raced (twice in bumpers - retired sound).
Well hunted with multiple packs locally, hunter trials, beach rides, happy hacking, dressage competitions, low level show jumping, she’s even been out gathering Exmoor ponies off the moorland! Selley is a true all rounder. Comfortably schooling multiple fences of 1m at home and would happily go and compete 90s tomorrow.

Lovely hack, bullet proof in traffic, as happy alone as she is in company.
Good feet, good to shoe, loads herself, clip, bath, clip, groom and cuddle she’s a doddle to deal with.
Schools very nicely, lateral work, walk to canter etc in place. Jumps well and really enjoys this, she’s bold and takes you to a fence without ever feeling like you’re getting ran away with.
Basic tack, snaffle mouthed.
Selley likes being kept active, but isn’t silly after some time off either.
Not a nappy thought in her, she can pop in a buck if it’s been her first time doing fast or jumping work for a while and does require a confident rider therefore is not suitable for a novice or nervous home.
She’s a pony club / teen / active fun homes dream.
Selley is up to date in all aspects and comes with fully fitted tack for her asking price.
Happy living in or out and is a good doer for her breed. Open to any vet and 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.
