  • Stunning paces
  • Snaffle mouth
  • ROR Eligible

Archie has been my daughter horse for 5 years bought when she was 18.

He is a gentleman and snaffle mouth in all disciplines.

He is BD registered and competed and the winter pet plan festival in February and also the summer festival this month at prelim and novice level. He is training now at elementary level. Archie loves nothing better than a medium trot and showing how to flick his toes.

Archie loves showjumping too easily jumping 90/100 potential to go higher but also happy to step down to 70/80 to build with a rider.

Has evented to 100

He has been to many shows, clinics, stay away shows.

Loves hacking and going to the beach where is never silly and easy to pull up.

He is good to travel in trailer 3.5 lorry or 7.5. Will stand on no problem

Good with farrier, vet, clipping.

Does love a stable overnight in the winter.

A very sad sale due to time commitments

Stalagmite

Georgie (Stalagmite ) is 7yr old 16.3 bay pure bred thoroughbred mare. She started her life as a racehorse, so is eligible for all ROR classes. Before coming to her current owner who unfortunately has had a change of circumstances which is why this is a heartbreaking sale. So no time wasters.

Georgie is a very forward going mare. She is in a eggbutt snaffle and isn’t strong in any way. She would excel in dressage or showing as has 3 beautiful paces. Jumping is not Georgie’s discipline , therefore would not be suitable for a home wanting that.

She is a bit spooky but is very safe therefore would thrive under a confident quiet rider. She hacks alone or in company. The type of horse where you see what you get and it doesn’t matter if she is ridden 7 days a week or twice a week. Although she thrives when she has a job so would prefer the first!

She is very happy in her stable but would happily live out too , she is currently in a field with 3 other horses but has had individual turn out previously. Brilliant with the dentist a farrier. A little nervous when clipping but not dangerous , she hasn’t been loaded in a couple of years due to her owner not wanting or needing to. So this might need work. She doesn’t kick or bite and lives for attention from her person. She is genuinely a lovely person inside and out. Great to catch and handle. Never had a lame day.

Hacks alone and in company. Good to shoe, catch, clip, travel etc.

Juno - 17hh Thoroughbred Gelding

  • Thoroughbred

  • Gelding
  • 8 years

  • Lovely and cuddly personality
  • Done fun rides, beach rides and hunting
  • Not strong or silly in open spaces
Juno is a much-loved member of our family and this is a very reluctant sale due to our daughter deciding to give up riding. We have owned him for over two years, having bought him straight off the track. During this time, he’s been retrained by our daughter (now 16), with guidance and support from a professional trainer who works with 5* eventing horses.

My daughter’s main focus has been cross country and hunting, where he has schooled up to 90cm and competed at 80cm cross country, as well as pairs. He has been out hunting numerous times and showjumped up to 90cm. He is never hot when at events and is happy being left in the trailer.

He has 3 nice paces, works well on the flat and could do well in dressage, it’s just not something my daughter has fully worked on to achieve his true potential. He is willing to learn and loves his job.

He has been on many sponsored rides and beach rides, never getting strong and able to go with a big group. Last summer, he did a 3 day pony camp where he was quick to settle in.

Juno is happy hacking out alone or in company, as well as leading or following without getting strong.

He is good to clip, shoe and has no vices. He travels well in our trailer.

Juno is a kind horse and a true gentleman, who loves cuddles and being groomed. As he can sometimes be spooky when hacking, he would only suit a confident and competent rider.

He will only go to a 5* home.

Raced 3 times so very lightly raced.

As a 4 year old was placed 7th at Bramham, 3rd at Alnwick Ford and 2nd at Ryedale BYEH classes, thus qualifying for Burghley.

He has competed in many BS clear rounds and has been XC schooling showing natural ability.

He has very good paces and would do particularly well in RoR dressage or BD. He has a scopey jump and with time and patience will realise all the potential he has.

He is out competing again now and ready to go. He is not sensitive but has got an engine so not a novice ride.

He is very loving and cuddly and will benefit from being someone’s main man!

  • A real leg in each corner, sturdy, takes up the leg kind of mare

16.1 6yr old tb mare, unraced. She has had a slow start in life, coming to us unbacked last year.

This seems to have set her up with a calm, level headed outlook on life as she has taken everything in her stride as we have produced her slowly this year.

She has a quiet, sweet temperament, lovely manners on the ground and is a brilliant steady hack in front or behind. Will ride and lead out or be led. She’s completely unfazed in the heaviest of traffic and has been to the New Forest and is good with the ponies, cows etc.

In the school she has 3 balanced paces and a confident, steady jump.

She has recently been out to a few competitions; showjumping, arena xc and one day event where she has behaved impeccably.

She is still a little green away from home and sometimes needs the riders help if she looses concentration in the ring, but she has a great attitude and proved to be very bold out on the xc course.

We have no doubt this will only improve with every outing as her confidence grows.

This horse would be a great confidence giver for someone looking for a safe hack / low level competition horse, or would be a great opportunity for someone able to continue her development up through the levels.

Serious enquiries only for this special mare.

Plenty of photos and videos available

'Supreme Sally'

Aka Super Sal
2015
16'2 Black TB Mare

Well bred ROR eligible and a real contender for the series

What a mare she is
Oozing presence and quality.
An upstanding true to type girl who is full of toe flicks in the arena

A straight moving correct
Impressive uphill paces

Works well in the school dropping onto a natural outline and working in a balanced rhythm - Always trying to please

Natural ability over a fence. Makes a good shape and is proving to be a super sort. Has been to arena hires with us and was a pleasure

Would excel in show classes as a riding horse or show hack

shining like a glass top

Hacks away but hadn't had masses of mileage in this area recently. Can get a bit busy or overwhelmed outside of the arena. That said our yard is million miles per hour all day every day and our adjoining hacking is direct onto a 60mph road - so another setting may see another result.

Her forte is definitely within the arena environment or I can see her white dressage boards.

Sally is willing to turn her hoof to anything asked of her. She has a big heart and even when worried will always give it her best try.

Loads and travels well in a trailer and a lorry.

Sally has always received the best of care and would love her to go to a home who continues to adore her like we all do

No stable vices or injuries. Retired racing sound. Has been a low level allrounder

Turns out with mares and geldings no issue and has previously lived with a little Shetland as a companion

No loans or trials sorry
Delivery options available
Open to any vet inspections and viewings with instructors etc
