Coco is a super fun little mare with so much ability and scope for someone to have loads of fun on.

She’s done lots of British Showjumping with her owners where she has jumped several DCs at Discovery and had lots more scope to jump bigger classes. Never stops and she is very careful, always trying her hardest. Snaffle mouthed and very easy to ride.

We think a lot of Coco and think she would make a super little event mare and a great contender for the ROR Eventing series. Shes been XC schooling and jumps anything, straight in the water and unphased by ditches and skinnies.

Coco has also been hunting proving to be very good, snaffle mouthed and easy. Stands like a rock at the meet and will jump any country. I’m sure she’d hunt hounds, whip in, field master or go in point as well as being very happy in the field.

At home Coco is lovely to have around. She doesn’t need working every day but enjoys the work she does, she’s easy and very trainable. She’ll happily hack out alone and in company. She’s in a small herd in the field but equally happy on her own too. Travels in a trailer or lorry.
She does wear a windsucking collar as she very occasionally windsucks. Never with the collar on.

Stunning 7yo 16,1 Chestnut Mare – ROR / Event / Riding Club Prospect
By Ulysses x Penny Lane Forever

Ren is a beautiful 7-year-old chestnut mare, retired from racing in February 2024 and carefully retrained since. Having previously ridden her as a work rider, I brought her home to give her the time and education for a new career.

She is a quality type with exceptional movement, naturally balanced paces and the presence to really stand out. Ren would make a super RoR prospect, riding club horse, event type or all-rounder for someone looking to produce a talented mare.

Fantastic breeding – Ulysses lines
Beautiful, balanced paces
ROR / Event / Dressage prospect
Hacks happily alone or in company
Kind nature and enjoys her work
Proven broodmare – excellent mother

Ren is now coming back into ridden work, but sadly due to lack of time she is looking for her next partner. She thrives when she has a job and will reward someone who wants to continue her education.

A genuine, eye-catching mare with huge potential in the right hands.

Meet this lovely 8 year-old gelding – a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

Having successfully hunted with hounds, used as a huntsman horse with the Wynnstay, also has been hunted in the field. Taken part in point-to-points, and thoroughly enjoyed hunt rides, 2nd at Wynnstay and 3rd in the silver spur last year. He has proven himself to be bold, genuine, and always willing to please. He knows his job, takes everything in his stride, and is happy to go first or last, making him a dependable and confidence-giving ride.

He is beautifully mannered both in and out of the stable. Easy to shoe, box, clip, and catch, he is straightforward to handle and a pleasure to have on the yard. He stands quietly at the meet, behaves impeccably in company, and has the kindest temperament you could wish for.

A lovely type. He has the right balance of enthusiasm and level-headedness. Whether you’re looking to continue hunting, enjoy fun rides, or further his experience in point-to-points, he has all the foundations in place.

A genuine, honest horse who is easy to look after and ready to give someone a huge amount of fun.

Mo is a 16.2 15yo bay Irish Thoroughbred mare. She is an extremely loving mare who is very affectionate and easy to do.

Unfortunately last year she had a field accident which has means that she now needs a quieter life of low level hacking and pole work with occasional schooling sessions. She is great out on forest rides on her own but would prefer company if hacking out from the yard.

We have been working with the physio with exercises and stretches. Mo has in the past gained up to 70% at dressage and jumped up to 1m.

For sale due to current riders long term illness.

Price includes tack with Loxley bliss saddle

  • Good to do
  • lovely snaffle mouth
A great retired French Thoroughbred racehorse, bred as a 2 1/2 mile chaser, quite solidly built so suits being a Hunter. Excellent with Hounds and other horses.

He can turn his hand to most disciplines and we ride him in a simple snaffle, stays under control and stops on request.

Up to date with vaccinations, good to shoe and groom

The reason for sale is that I am a little overstocked, and, I am not giving this horse enough time, he could go far!

Not a novice ride so will suit someone with experience that can understand this type of horse. If he was a cross bred he would be worth at least double the price.

Dee is a well bred mare who was lightly raced. Privately bred and trained on a small family yard before being sold to us when she was six.

Dee has been very easy for my teenage daughter to retrain and has proved to be an excellent dressage horse winning all of her competitions.

She is a brave jumper and loves show jumping and cross country - just takes everything in her stride, never stops or refuses and holds real potential for someone to carry on her education in this sphere.

Dee has attended pony club rallies, riding club training sessions, local events and competitions. She is well schooled with three nice paces. Excellent on the ground and easy to handle, she loads and travels well (we have a trailer). She is lovely to hack out and is happy to go alone or in company - doesn't nap and is 100% in all traffic - used to farm machinery etc.

In the summer she is out 24/7 and during the winter stabled at night. She is happy with or without company. Good for the farrier, vet, dentist, etc and up-to-date with vaccinations.

She has been seen to pace in the field but this is only at meal times. No other vices.

Sad sale of a beautiful horse, but daughter now away at university. Lots of photos and videos available.

5* home essential.
