Priced to sell!!

This absolutely exquisite stamp of a TB is being offered for sale.

Oblivious (Liv) has it all. Wonderful temperament, expressive movement and a clean jump.

As she is 3 she has not been pushed. She has been in training and can still be a racehorse if required.

As a riding horse I can see this mare going far. She has the most wonderful ground covering walk, a trot with plenty of cadence and one of the best balanced adjustable canters I’ve seen in a young horse.

She is ready to produce for age classes next year and be someone’s best friend.

Liv has done a little bit of schooling and been over a few coloured poles but due to age she has not been pushed.

She has hacked alone and in company. Been schooled by a few different people.

Is good to shoe, clip, catch, load and travel.

She is also one of kindest, softest horses I’ve met in a while and really will be your best friend!

She is being offered at a super price. Next year she will be a 5 figure horse.


Must be sold! Offers accepted!

Beautiful sweet 3 year old thoroughbred filly eligible for ROR but I see her as a future top class show hack

Beautiful mover with correct limbs 

She would easily be a contender for low level dressage because of her beautiful extravagant paces

She’s easy to handle, ties up sweetly. She’s is good with others but I only have mares here 

I bought her as a potential broodmare but due to my ongoing health issues I’m reducing my numbers and just keeping my retired girls 

She’s up to date with vaccinations.

Unshod (has had shoes ) 

Wormed.

Just had dentist.

Weaves but not an issue here 

She would benefit from time out to just finish growing up and will be a great prospect for novice hacks next year

This fabulous little mare is now ready to find her forever home. She  started her reschooling from racing 5weeks ago and is quickly picking things up. Ideally suited to a lightweight, confident, knowledgeable and sympathetic rider as she's still developing and strengthening. She needs someone prepared to hold her hoof and give her the confidence through the rest of the  retraining process.

She is NOT a novice or nervous ride.

Very sweet and quiet to handle in the stable. Good to ride. She loves hacking and is very inquisitive (or nosey!!??) but is  good in traffic.

Shes happily jumping coloured poles and rustic xc type fences. Her flat work is improving daily. She will in time make a super event horse.

Will be viewed at livery where she is being reschooled.

Being sold by her owner breders to dissolve a partnership.

Hula is a 15.3hh 9 year old thoroughbred dappled-grey mare. 

I have gone to collage so unfortunately do not have time to take her to the next level. She has unaffiliated one day evented, showjumped, hedge hopped, arena evented, hunted, hunter trials and qualified for eland lodge in the 70, 80 and 90. An amazing all round mare.

Good to clip, shoe, teeth and has exceptional stable manners as we use her in pony club stable care. She prefers a horse box to a trailer. She nervous on our busy roads by herself but prefect when on quieter roads and through fields.

She is always clear cross country and within the time. Always placed in every event we go to. She never stops. I have put her towards some very challenging combinations and she handles them with ease.

Always willing to do more and is an amazingly smart horse who would love to bring another rider up to another level or would love to have a rider take her to another level.

  • Kindest natured boy - adores people, horses and life!
  • Loves to learn, and has the best brain to carry on his retraining
Bill is a super fun, kind, willing and life-loving horse ready to find his forever home and carry on his retraining in any discipline! ROR eligible - he last ran in Summer 2023 (flat only), had a well-deserved break in the paddock and started back steady away mid-december.

He is the easiest horse on the ground - I'd let a child lead and groom him! He stands tied up anywhere, he's great to bath, shoe, clip, cuddle etc. He's 100% in the stable... he'd never pull a face, bite, kick etc (people or other horses). Bill is happy to live in, out, or a mix of both.

Bill is also a super ride - he's fun, forward and has the best brain for learning. He can have a playful buck, but would never rear, spin, bolt, and he isn't at all spooky. He hacks alone in the heaviest of traffic, and will lead or follow when out in company, pop fallen logs, go through water etc. Although green in the school, he is learning at a rapid rate... Bill will canter around a course of tiny fences, his transitions are fantastic and he's a lovely mover. He really could be retrained to go into any discipline - be it dressage, eventing, showing, or just being loved and hacking around!

Bill has no lumps/bumps or nasties; he has never been injured and has clean legs. Bill loads and travels in a trailer / 2-box or big lorry.

I really really can not fault this fella... he is only for sale as I am keen to focus on my older showjumpers going in to a busy season. Due to his age and on the basis of how sentimental he is to me, Bill will absolutely not be sold to any novices or dealers.

Come on Galey, known as Dudley in the stable, is looking for a new home as his current rider has outgrown him.

He has been on livery with me for the last 6 months and I trained him previous to that. He is the sweetest horse, with no vices, easy to handle, good for the farrier. He will travel alone and in company, he hacks round the farm (however I’ve never taken him on the roads as we are not based in a suitable area) He’s not spooky, very well behaved at shows!

He had previously had a very good BD record scoring 70%+ at Elementary and has since taken a 15 year old (his current owner) from Prelim to Elementary. I have ridden him at two shows recently at both Novice and Elementary scoring mid 60%’s. He’s been training at Medium with an attempt at changes at home.

He isn’t an amateurs ride as does need consistent work, he’s not naughty at all but can be fresh if not worked for multiple days.

Would be perfect for a mother/daughter relationship who wants to gain experience within the white boards, or for anyone looking to do ROR - which is where he would really thrive!

  • Autumn Hunted + Hunted in 2022 & 2023 & 2024 - so easy to Box, Shoe, Clip, Load.
By Gleneagles. She is most stunning mare; incredibly gentle, sweet and has the kindest nature.

She is more straightforward and uncomplicated horse with more years on her - don't let her age fool you. She has been trained correctly, handled well throughout her formative years, she has been given the most tremendous temperament and foundation. She is non-spooky, confident in heavy road and farm traffic. Rides across all types of terrain and situations, forward going in front, but happy go lucky at the back.

Snaffle mouth, but we also ride our horses in Dr Cook Bitless Bridle, out of personal preference, which are more gentle than a snaffle. She's very tolerant, but only needs a gentle hand to slow down etc.

Autumn hunted and hunted in 2022/2023/2024 - handled deep ground, hilly terrain and big open spaces and big fields (eg many on horseback!) without any hesitation, never bucked, reared or kicked. Amazing with hounds + and dogs on hacks. Doesn't pull, or speed up if others pass her at speed (eg out hunting). Can be turned away from the field (eg out hunting), gate shutting etc. Not clingy to other horses and very quiet. She's the type that can be turned out for a week and brought in and hunted, and is not remotely fresh. Easy to do and an ideal small yard horse, eg. happily turned out alone, easy to stable on her own, or in company, but some horses won't do well in a small yard and she definitely would. Equally she's used to a busy yard.

Selling her as an all rounder / pony club / hunting mare, but could equally be the most fantastic broodmare, due to her phenomenal breeding. She is a petite TB, very well put together. Raced on the flat and jumps.

Loads in a lorry and trailer, not fussy, doesn't spook, easy in or out, rugged, clipped etc, shod, teeth etc, eats well, easy to keep. Not fussy, doesn't crib/chew etc. She's in exceptional health and only stopped racing due to lack of speed and the syndicate wanted a winner and weren't interested in keeping her as a broodmare. I've had her since then, and hunted her.

Must either be sold as a potential broodmare due to her breeding lines, or to a private family / private owner. No riding schools or novice homes, she is the most incredible horse and I will only sell to someone who can appreciate her for what she is.

She IS ironically suitable for a novice rider, but must be placed in a proper, knowledgeable home. Suitable for a teenager, mother/daughter and equally would be a fantastic all rounder, hacking, showing, eventing mare, but I will be picky where she goes.

She has lovely paces, walk, trot and canter, but her dressage work I have not invested time in, as I focused on her hunting training. Sh is very willing. Her dressage work is what I would be focusing on now if I was to keep her.

Videos on request.

Contact me on Whatsapp, text/voice note, and I will get back to you.

For sale due to my daughters increased work commitments in London and abroad, and therefore have to reduce commitments in the countryside.

Stunningly beautiful 8 year old TB. Incredibly well bred. Grandfathers Gallileo and Danehill. Registered with Weatherbys as a brood mare. She has bred one strong and healthy TB foal now aged 2.

Please note: we are not selling this horse as a riding horse. She has been ridden but is not a novice ride and not being sold ridden. Needs to be kept with other horses. She injured her bursa joint 2 years ago and we spent £11,000 at Rossdale's in Newmarket on her. It is completely healed and she seems sound but we are not selling her with any warranty hence the price. She is a loved horse and we want her to have a good home. She needs an experienced home and cannot be kept alone or stabled. She will box walk and get very upset if alone.

With other horses, she is quiet and not difficult. Loads, shoes, rugs well - does not bite, , kick or buck . Just is a highly strung TB if in the wrong conditions.

If with others is a 'donkey' who wanders around the garden - see photo having a picnic with us.

Meet Sparky.

This lovely girl is looking for her new home where she’ll be given all the love and care she needs. She has a lovely kind personality and will stand to be groomed all day long and have cuddles. Spent some time on the track but she was far too slow and it was never going to be for her - retired fully sound.

She’d benefit from some downtime in the field but equally no reason she could crack on with a job. She hasn’t been in any ridden work since deciding she wasn’t going to be a racehorse at the end of February. Good to handle in all ways but is forward to lead so needs someone experienced.

She had mud fever quite badly so stayed in the stable for about 10 days which she was super tolerant and happy with. This has delayed her retraining so now offered at a bargain price as she is due to lack of time.

Up to date with all vaccinations, feet and worming. No injuries or vices.

Absolutely NO TIMEWASTERS, no loans.

Please only get in touch if you have everything in place to buy a horse.
