  • Thoroughbred
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 10 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Moves well
  • Great to handle
  • ROR eligible

Lovely bay thoroughbred gelding has raced over hurdles so would be eligible for ROR.

He is great on the ground very easy to lead and do he can be a bit grumpy to groom and in his stable at feed time he just pulls faces nothing more.

Good to ride snaffle mouth very good in open spaces and good to canter with other horses not strong or silly. We live on a small quiet road so has not seen heavy traffic but has been good with cars and vans he needs a confident rider as he can be slightly nappy when coming back into work he gets better and better the more he does. He is fantastic to load and one of the best travelers I have ever had he goes in a trailer or lorry.

Sold from the field due to lack of time.

He has some medical history that his previous owners did not disclose I am happy to discuss this with potential buyers.

He is up to date with worming, Teeth and physio.

Meet my yard gentleman! - ‘Monty’
A super sweet and easy 16.2hh, 8yo, tb gelding
Clean limbed and vice free

Monty is a really sweetheart in and out of the stable. He is so good to do everything with. I clipped him without him even being tied up. He is excellent to shoe , box, catch , travel , etc!
He is trusted around any member of then family and a real delight to have on the yard from the very second he arrived. Monty will turn out with mares , geldings, and mixed herds. He’s happy to live in or out but is currently in with me most of the time with small amounts of turnout due to not wanting to turn up my paddock

He is beautifully schooled and is said to have done well at PC level dressage. The same applies for show jumping and low level eventing. I believe he did a bit of low level everything in a previous home before most recently being a happy hacker / funride / pleasure horse. He is a lovely allrounder who only ever wants to please.

Monty absolutely loves to hack out! I’d say it’s his absolute favourite thing to do!! Alone or in company, in any traffic , and super in open spaces. He is a keen boy who likes to walk out but has impeccable mannerisms and is totally sane and sensible. He’s attended fun rides and beach rides and absolutely loves this kind of day out! He is the ultimate happy hacker / allrounder

He is the kindest , most empathetic little horse who deserves the same kind of love back. My three year old daughter is absolutely taken with him , he really is just so kind!

Please note that he is a forward and responsive horse and does need someone who’s capable and not wanting a plod because as sane and straightforward as he is , he is not a plod

Come and see for yourselves , he will do the talking , I won’t need to say a word …… a horse with a heart of sheer gold

  • Sweet natured and affectionate
  • Vice free

The ultimate safe, straightforward, kind RoR. A very special horse.

Retired from racing injury free but extremely slow.

16.2 4yo gelding, with lots of scope to furnish.

Could put your granny on, but equally responsive and fun.

Ridden by intermediate 13yo girl.

Never fresh, no antics whatsoever.

Hacks out alone and in company and is a comical degree of unfazed- leads our hunters past anything ‘scary’, without pricking an ear.

Rides and leads

About to start the odd day trail hunting with us.

Nice, basic work in the arena that improves every time. A quick learner that is understanding an ‘outline’ and now needs more mileage and strength.

Loving his jumping, doesn’t look at any fillers or ‘rider scarers’ and has never ever said no. Goes off any stride. Ready to go clear around 70cm now, and this could progress very quickly indeed.

A beautiful nature, unspoilt with no quirks, could make so many people happy whether a teen/ pleasure horse/ hunting/ competition.

  • A real quality gelding that would suit any job from dressage, showjumping, eventing, hunting, mother and daughter share

Lucky Casino is an outstanding quality TB. Standing at 16’2HH 6yo bay gelding. He oozes natural ability with a fabulous temperament to match.

Recently retired from racing/training, sound, healthy and without injury or vices. I truly believe this beautifully put together horse with excel in all disciplines across the ROR competitions once fully retrained. Since being with us to be retrained he has been out to arena hires, combined training, poles rallies, and jump clinics.

He is exceptionally well behaved at shows, and is happy to be left on the lorry/trailer or even tied beside it. He doesn’t get stressy or hot up and warms up professionally around others in the warm up areas. Lucky is a beautiful mover with a great hind leg, a balanced canter and a correct bold technique over a fence. He’s seen loads of different types of fillers and rustic fences and isn’t a spooky type.

He will happily hack alone or in company and is a pleasure to ride. He loves to learn new things and is very trainable. Easy to do anything with, and has the best attitude towards life. A real quality gelding that would suit any job from dressage, showjumping, eventing, hunting, mother and daughter share.

He is still in the early stages of his retraining so will need an experienced person to continue this. A very hard type to find with this much potential and a horse so conformationally correct.

Name: Soft Summer Breeze - Old fashioned type TB, plenty of bone and big stamp.

Starting to work well on the flat, plenty to work on but she is very willing and happy in the school.

Started jumping coloured poles and been XC once. She is very sweet and takes life in.

More of a laid back ride than a forward one.

Happy to hack alone or in company.

She is still green but a quick learner. Would suit someone on a budget that’s happy to put the time in. As she will be a super horse when finished.

I would think she would love to go hunting.

Home important and a non racing agreement.

Lovely uncomplicated riding club type

  • 5 years
  • 16.1 hands

Lovely TB gelding approx 16.1HH rising 6yo dark bay. BB has recently retired sound from racing so is ROR eligible. He is such a sweet, genuine and laid back lad.

He would be absolutely ideal as a happy hacker or riding club horse or just someone’s best friend with his outstanding temperament. He’s got so much love to give. Someone who just wants a nice easy going, straight forward horse to enjoy life with.

He started his retraining 4 weeks ago and already works very nicely in the arena, he’s green but balanced and enjoys it. Hes really enjoying his jumping and has been to arena hires, pole rallies and group jump clinics.

Always behaves impeccably at different venues and is just incredibly easy to do anything with. Does not need to be ridden every day and is perfect to hack alone or in company, we have ridden him straight down main roads and he’s not been bothered at big Lorrie’s etc. He is very polite in big open spaces and happily walks, trots and canters in big fields.

He’s great to shoe, box, catch, travel etc. BB is more woah than go, hence not wanting to be a race horse, so he would suit most people if they are willing to finish off his retraining, he is obviously not a ready made riding horse 4 weeks out of retraining…. Having said that he basically just needs more miles on the clock to gain a bit of experience, the sensible brain and level headedness is already there!

Wildewood

8yr old 16.2 gelding

Woody has been reschooled slowly by his owner since coming out of training in 2020. His owner has done mainly flatwork amd hacking with him and he has been placed in dressage classes.

He came to me in September and since then has competed in shows jumping 80/90 with loads of scope for more, he has been to one sponsored ride jumping everything asked of him and he has been cross country schooling once and loved it.

Rides nicely on the flat, lots of step and covers great ground. Hacks out alone and in company and is good with any traffic we've met so far. He is good to shoe, clip, load and travel, a pleasure to have around the yard and can be handled by a 10yr old.

Woody has the potential to be a great junior/young rider event horse, he is also straight and correct and RoR eligible.

Video shows his first time cross country.

Based in Ireland, transport can be arranged.

  • Proven Teamchaser
  • Ultimate allrounder and bestfriend
Dream is a 16hh 10 year old ex racer, he has been in the same home since he finished his racing career and has proven time and time again that he is worth his weight in gold.

We have competed in multiple novice teamchases, Dream loves XC and will take you boldly over any course. I have no doubt in his ability to continue on and complete an intermediate teamchase.

Dream has taken me around several hunter trails, he is always careful and courageous. He hacks amazingly alone and in company and loves a good jumping session in the school.

I cannot fault this horse, he will stand to be clipped, for the farrier, dentist, always loads and is currently up to date with everything.

This is a very hard sale, he will only go to the best of homes and I am in no rush to see him go anywhere. The home must be right. A genuine reason forces this sale which I will discuss with his new home.

Dream can come with everything he will need for his new forever home as well as his tack for an extra cost.

No time wasters or joy riders please, all homes will be vetted.

For sale due to a change in commitments, I am starting a course in the new year and I feel I won’t have the time for him that he so deserves.

He is easy to do in all ways on the ground and in his ridden work. He is schooled well and has 3 balanced paces and also loves to jump.

He is fit and ready to go out and win some rosettes.

He is not suitable for a novice. Ideally he is looking for a competitive home so he can go out and start having some fun. He is honestly such a gent and is going to make some lucky person very happy.

5* home is necessary

Diego

13 year old, 16.2hh Bay gelding

absolute saint , a true gentleman

Good as gold out hunting, stands still, takes it all in his stride, trots and pops anything you face him at, a true confidence giver on the hunting field, will look after you all day long, snaffle mouthed , 100% trust worthy. Fit and ready to go, Will be hunting for the rest of the season until he finds his new home. One we wish we could all keep here, but we have so many in and Diego is truly an absolute gem ??

Placed 2nd in his first prelim dressage (wasn’t even supposed to be going but substituted in for one of my others! As my other one had to pull
Out)
Again an absolute pleasure , foot perfected all day!

Been to an arena hire and jumped a course of 90cms , fillers, planks , doubles, combinations , spreads, all at his first time seeing show jumps !

If you want the perfect all-rounder, hunt horse, and just a super fun horse , look no further!

This horse is something very special, a real head turner with the most gorgeous eyes
and such a pleasure to deal with!

Would suit a home that wants to do a bit of everything, fantastic movement on him, great
attitude, just a lovely all rounder, would hunt all day, equally would go a be a happy hacker or he would be perfect for a family home / mother-daughter share that just wants to give him all of the attention and cuddles.

Currently ridden by my own mum both in the arena and hacking out and about aswell as a few of the younger teens here and looked after my friend hunting last weekend.

Hacks alone or in company, good in heavy traffic, fit and ready to go, good in the arena, 3 balanced paces

Golden as they come, you can leave him and then get up on him no worries, good as gold. I am looking for a forever home for him as he is a really sweet boy.

He has had his life in racing and doesn’t owe anyone anything, he’s done his job and now wants to learn all about the riding horse life.

Although Diego is very well behaved, he is not a novice ride as he is still a tb and a big horse

Will equally look after a young child wanting to dawdle around the arena or dawdle out on a hack but will step up when required. The kindest, easiest horse to deal with on the ground, never pulls a face, never raises a hoof and is never grumpy.

Good to box, trailer, clip and shoe, up to date on shoes , chiropractor/physio and vaccinations up to date. Teeth just recently been done in the last 3/4weeks .

Also just a note has great feet! Currently shod all round.

No vices.

Open to viewings and vetting’s; more info on request

Spirit 16.2hh

Classic tb type , beautiful and super eye- catching with all of the Bling!

8 year old, bay ex racehorse

Absolutely beautiful in every way, movement , looks and temperament this gentleman has it all!

Hacks out alone or in company, happy to lead or go behind. Perfect lead horse just gets on with his job! Forward but safe, can have a jig jog.

3 balanced paces, and works beautifully, really floaty and so effortless! Would excel in a dressage arena.

Raced over jumps, and LOVES his jumping, is very bold with a very willing fantastic attitude , nothing fazed him, fillers , water trays , planks , super bold and careful will get you out of any situation.

Been to arena hires, and behaved impeccably going round a course of 90cms. He will look after his rider and not silly into or out of jumps.

would suit an ambitious amateur or competent teenager looking to do more, Spirit just wants to be ridden and enjoy himself, he needs a job and happiest when out and about.

Very bold! And so professional, bombproof in the heaviest of traffic! Crosses A roads, cars and trailers not an issue, perfect with farm machinery working right next to the arena

Good in open fields; will walk, trot or canter whatever you ask him to do. Go in front or behind

A really fun horse with heaps of potential

A lot of fun and very eye catching

Spirit has been to his first prelim dressage , very well behaved and picked up a 4th placing in a very busy environment.
He has also been hunting where he stayed out all day, he loved it, he can get strong hunting , he stands around , very well behaved , bold as anything but does need someone that is confident if that’s what you wish to do. He did hunt in a snaffle and a normal canvasson nosebad. He wants a home he can go out and do a bit of everything, jumping, dressage, XC, the lot! He loves it all!

Please note he isn’t a novice ride, he is always safe, but does have a jigjog and can get strong at times in open spaces, always pulls up , and always snaffle mouthed but needs an experienced/confident rider who enjoys a horse that wants to work and have fun,

Does have vices which are reflected in his. Has been seen to crib in his stable where he grabs the door and takes in air and can weave occasionally, doesn’t do this when turned out and barely at all in his stable when he has turnout and in work.
