Imperial Lord (Freddles)

Raced National Hunt until early ‘23, retired sound, no injuries. Suitable for ROR.

Beautifully bred: Imperial Monarch (Gallileo).

I’ve had him since June ‘23 and done loads of hacking, raised poles, light schooling to strengthen and fatten him up.

I tore my knee cartilage last year so didn’t do much spring/summer ‘24.

We’ve done a few unaffiliated shows over Xmas and now he’s ready to go out and have more fun.

Hacks in front or behind, he can have a cheeky spook in him but never malicious - no bucking or rearing.

Very good in traffic.

Successfully competed Arena eventing and Hunter trials up to 95cm this Winter.

Won his first time out Dressage and behaves impeccably in the warm up.

Stands nicely on the lorry.

Lovely to handle, a real pet.

Good to load, hot shoe, lunge, and clip.

Stabled at night but would prefer to live out.

Can be left in the field on his own.

Will weave if you leave him in without riding him.

Passed my 5 stage vetting in June ‘23 and had normal x-rays of his spine.

This horse is showing some real class.

Beautiful natural paces, very balanced canter, and a careful jump.

Would suit ambitious amateur with limited budget.

Personal reasons force sale.

No novices, no children looking for their first horse.

Jump the Burren has raced once and is eligible for RoR, low mileage great canvass with solid basic foundations. Rising 6 yo mare.

We rehomed Ember off the track at the end of summer 2024 to sell her appropriately in time; since then, she has been given downtime and good nutrition and slowly brought back into work. Professionally schooled, her basics are solid and correct, showing real aptitude for Dressage.

She is as you should expect, a 6yo racer off the track, green, innocent, and looking for direction. Ember is a horse that loves her work. She's not nappy or sharp but thrives on a job to do. She currently has limited turnout and needs to go to a home where she can reach her full potential, which is in abundance.

She would turn her hoof to many disciplines as she has an inquisitive nature with the right amount of confidence.

She is great with other horses, friendly in the stable, and a pleasure to have around. She needs a home to get her head down to grass, progress her training, and be nurtured into a fantastic competition horse.

As with any horse, she needs a knowledgeable home for her age. If you confuse her walk with rushing, then she's not for you. If you need to know 'is she strong, is she safe to hack alone' then NO she isn't for you. As the advert says, she is 6, off the track, and green. Why consider hacking alone? Train her in time.

I would appreciate videos of people riding before you come, as we are busy, and Ember is not being test-ridden for fun. She will ONLY go to a good, educated horse home. Price does not reflect her lack of ability or sanity; its sadly the industry. She has a curb hock which causes her no clinical or ridden difficulties. She requires no treatment or medical input for this.
No novices, under 16s or bargain hunters. The price reflects the above.

Good to shoe, loads well, and has fantastic feet!! Please see videos!

Toby(Carrabeg Utopia) will make someone's dreams come true. He is the most honest,willing horse we have ever owned. he looks for the flags and is super brave.

Toby was bought as a rising 5yold as a first horse to produce by a then 14y old girl. he started off his career showjumping,going up to 115/120 but isn't going to make the bigger tracks competitively. we took him xc and he is amazing. Never says no and looks for the flags and has a record to prove this. His flatwork is good and he's super trainable. Toby started at 100 making bishop burton 105 youth champs from 3 scores ,going dc finnishing 12th in good company.

Toby had a couple of time faults or would of been 2nd overall. his next time out was over a beefy technical novice track at tweseldown going clear again in the time . toby has the ability to go 2* and poss more but will also skip around 100 and is grass roots eligible.

Abandoned events early on in the year put a stop to us getting MERS then A levels hit. you can take him anywhere with no drama and is a pleasure to do ,clip,shoe load ect. can be handled by anyone. he hacks alone and company often a nanny to young horses,leads others out and can be ridden bareback in a headcollar to turn out and lead another. I am 55 and novice and hack him out while my daughter is in school. I don't care what happens,what we see or come across as he will always lookafter me. there is so much more I can say about this amazing little horse. only for sale as rider doesn't want to event and is going to uni. Toby will be our competing until sold.

He is open to any vet or trainer and will only go to 5*home. would love to stay intouch.

A genuine, considered and heartfelt rehoming of my stunning, kind-natured gelding Mole.

Mole is a truly special soul who will give you his whole heart in return for kindness and patience. He would thrive in a dressage-focused home with a calm, confident rider.

- ROR Eligible: retired after just six months in training
- Professionally produced: by a classical dressage rider since retirement (after 18 months turned away)
- Exceptional temperament: kind, gentle, and eager to please
- By Fame & Glory (Montjeu), a beautifully bred, old-fashioned Thoroughbred with plenty of bone

Training & Experience

- Dressage prospect & competed online, consistently scoring 70-75%+
- Needs an experienced, confident and calm rider to continue his journey and give him reassurance
- Soft, responsive ride
- Bombproof to hack in company: unfazed by large vehicles, dogs, farm animals, bikes, and other horses (never tried alone)
- Regularly attends pole clinics; however would not SJ

Personality & Care

- Must live out as much as possible
- A true gentleman & easy to handle, shoe, clip, catch, and for vet/dentist visits
- Loads first time, every time
- Incredibly kind nature & has never pinned his ears at a person or another horse
- Does get stressed when left alone - but would suit a home environment with others

He is still requiring further training, takes confidence/reassurance from his rider. He needs someone who can continue his education, give him all the love and fuss he deserves.

Mole has small sarcoids and typical Thoroughbred feet.

This is an honest and difficult rehoming, due to a demanding career and life stage. Finding the right home is my priority.

Location: Surrey / West Sussex Border
Plenty of videos, photos, and dressage sheets available

All tack and rugs available by seperate negotiation.

Serious enquiries only. Must be a competent rider, no novices.

  • Excellent proven broodmare - outstanding offspring

For sale from a private genuine loving home, a pretty and sweet natured 15.2-15.3hh 15 y.o very well bred Weatherby's National Hunt ex racehorse Thoroughbred mare who has been a mum for the last 6 years of her life.

Now needs a new experienced home either as a proven broodmare or could be brought back into work with the right person. She did race, just didn't like it so she is ROR eligible.

She apparently did do a bit of show jumping and cross country in-between racing and being a mum before her current home where she has just been a broodmare for the last few years.

A video of her jumping hurdles can be seen in this advert below the description.

She would also make a nice natural horsemanship project or do some fun horse agility with.

She has been an incredible broodmare producing outstanding wonderful natured and strongly built offspring. Has taken first time both naturally and via AI. Foals easily and is a great mum, just knows her job well.

She is a very good do-er with no health issues and good feet. Upto date with vaccines, teeth rasped every year and is on a worming programme with consistantly clear worm counts.

She is used to being with mares and geldings but is scared of being bullied so needs quieter companions.

She is good to handle and transport.

Will only go to a loving home with proper experience and knowledge of ex racehorse thoroughbreds!

Please message me with any questions

Tommy Dylon, May 2010, 17hh TB, ROR eligible.

Safe, never reared or napped, hacks alone or in company, travels in a lorry or trailer and is good to clip and with farrier and dentist. Lives in or out and good with a mixed herd.

Competed ROR challenge, always in the ribbons. Evented at BE100, usually finishing on his dressage score and will jump xc all day. Also competed arena eventing and combined training.

He has done very little over the last two years except hack due to lack of time so he has plenty of miles left in him.

He is fit and ready to go and should be out competing with someone having lots of fun on him.

No novices

No LWVTB or general time wasters
