Ex NH
Good to do in all ways, comes to call in the field, excellent ground manners etc.

Much loved and only advertised as is unfortunately a bit much for his nervous lady owner.
Beautiful ride for anyone experienced, ridden regularly by myself and a 17 year old girl, but not for a novice.

Schools beautifully on the flat in a snaffle, would do well dressage, but he absolutely loves his jumping so would like him to go to a competitive home. Ideal grassroots eventer, would progress easily.

Does not need ridden every day, is always the same.
Can get keen when he's having fun, but never unmanageable.

Harry is a lovely 16.2 bay gelding by Court Cave who is by Sadlers Welis.

He got 3 good paces and he's nice to school. He got 67% in his first Preliminary test to finish 7 th.

A real Gentleman who wants to please.

He hacks out alone and in company.

He has hunted but I don't think that's what he should be doing.

He has got a nice jump and he enjoys his jumping.

He does enjoy his cross-country.

He would be a lovely horse for someone who wants to do a lot of clinics and riding club shows etc.

He is good to box, shoe and clip. Up to date with vaccinations and teeth.

Sad sale of much-loved family horse Elvis- no rider, quick sale required

Elvis is a striking 16.3hh 9yo TB gelding by Fame and Glory, bought from a top racing yard. Lack of jockey forces sale.

Same home last 3 years. Raced in P2Ps by the brother, evented by the sister; he's been in an experienced family home and done a bit of everything! Very willing attitude to life and a quick learner, loves his work. Would happily spend hours hacking or being brushed.

A really personable horse who really loves being ridden! He is often ridden leading 2 other horses off him, dogs following in behind - not much bothers him. Happily ridden by 3 generations and easy to handle on the ground. Snaffle mouthed.

Elvis has done a bit of everything, eventing, clinics, PC rallies, hunter trials, arena eventing, SJ, and has hunted. He has a lot of scope and would easily be capable of jumping around much bigger tracks. He has schooled over all natural obstacles including ditches, steps & water and skinnies/brushes.

- ODEs (80cm), Hunter Trials (90cm)
- Schooled XC to 1m, hunted, clinics, Pony Club
- Moves beautifully, loads of presence, flashy, traditional stamp
- Still eligible to race if desired or ROR eligible
- Good to clip, shoe, catch, load etc. easy to have around
- Hacks alone & in company, not fussed by heavy traffic or even farm machinery

Would suit a confident rider to have fun with, as he came off the track, he would not be suitable for a novice rider. He has not lived alone before and enjoys the company of other horses when stabled or in the field.

Price is ONO and offers considered - finding the right home is important. More pictures and videos available upon request.

Very striking and talented mare with superb movement and scope. She has been with us since she was three, and was in training but never raced.

She has been brought on slowly and carefully, and has been out competing in dressage (has moved up to BD Novice) with wins and lots of 2nd and 3rd placings. She's also been showjumping, arena eventing and three phase training at Tweseldown.

She moves very well and has masses of scope

Loads and travels very well. Stands quietly on lorry or trailer. Good to shoe, clip, lives out happily, good to catch and all those things

Ideal for nice rider who wants to compete and have fun.

Priced to sell - she owes us far more than this but it's time she went to her next home now!

Lion oozes star quality, one of the best I’ve come across. He has all the attributes to become something special.

Lion last ran a month ago, had some downtime and started his retraining. He does basic flatwork, he has three balanced smart paces and carries himself well. He is learning about an outline as we speak.

He has only ran on the flat during his career so has now started the basics in the jumping department. Happily doing poles and small jumps. This is all new to him but he’s proving a natural and very willing to please. A true blank canvas in this respect for someone to make their own.

He is a quiet straightforward ride, doesn’t need lots of leg. He is more slow than go and as close to bombproof as you’ll find. Lion will happily stand for an around the world.

He is well mannered with a very genuine character, loves fuss and a brush. Happily stands tied up in the yard or ridden straight from the field. Be mounted from your car. Do gates. Can be ridden bareback to the field. You name it he’ll do it, he’s a cool guy.

He has hacked out alone or in company around open fields & lanes, he hasn’t done much of this previously but he isn’t fazed by anything. He is a very easy going person, never buzzy or silly. Lives in & out alone or in company. Good to shoe, box & travel.

No previous injuries. No blemishes. No vices.

No loans. No payment plans. No timewasters or day trippers we are a busy yard. Serious enquiries only. Open to vet.

There is no rush for him to go, I will happily keep playing about with him as he’s such a pleasure to have around.

2* 8yr TB gelding. Very consistent and reliable dressage often scoring high 20’s.

Has been produced by a professional since retired from racing.

This is a truly genuine / sad sale of a much loved horse.

£8,500 ONO
  • Thoroughbred
  • Dark bay
  • Gelding
  • 13 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Super fun, forward and kind horse
  • Eligible for TB / RoR classes
  • Confidence giving jumper

Jack has taken my daughter back out eventing again, helping her find her confidence and to reach the Pony Club Eventing Area Qualifiers and National Championships this year.

He has been doing a lot of flat work, show jumping, cross country schooling this year, also visits to the gallops to get them both fit and ready to compete.

Jack is lovely on the flat, producing a super test, with balanced and rhythmical paces, normally scoring low-mid 30’s. He does not look or spook at SJ fillers. He is very bold and quick XC - water, ditches, skinnies, drops and steps no problem!

Competing successfully at 90cm, regularly jumping 100+cm in training, and more than ready to move up. Jack would suit a competitive rider that wants to sail around BE/PC/RC/CC events.

He has raced and is RoR eligible too. He would thrive in a Tetrathlon home, working hunter, hunter trialling or team chasing, as XC is his favourite thing to do!

He is a mother / daughter share, he hacks alone or in company very well. Although now he is fitter he can hot up, therefore not always a novice ride, but he would never buck, rear or nap, he is just forward and wants to get going.

Jack is such a kind horse in the stable. He is also good with other horses, not one to ever bite or kick. He has lived out all year, but he does love to come in for his food or for some shade/dry too.

We have looked after him very well, and is up to date with farrier, dentist, vaccinations, physio and worming.

He has no vices, clean limbs, no medical issues or veterinary visits, he has had a hobday operation back in his racing days. Very easy to catch, clip, shoe, load, and solid in heavy traffic etc.

I would love this gorgeous horse to find a perfect home, as sadly my daughter must focus on her A-Levels.

Tack can be included.

Based in Gloucestershire.

16.2hh 4yr old Bay TB Gelding by Eqtidarr out of Holder’s Hill

3 nice paces and working sweetly on the flat. He is bold and genuine to a fence having jumped around a course of 80/85cm with the potential for more once more established. Has been to numerous arena hires.

Been xc schooling taking everything in his stride, popping ditches, drops and water. Has been in training previously which makes him ROR eligible. Hacks alone or in company and not phased by traffic. Sensible in open spaces and not a type that needs riding daily.

Good to shoe, box, clip etc. Can be grumpy in the stable. Ready to be produced further and would make a nice all-rounder.

Minty is looking for his forever home he has been with me for the past 7 years so this is a very hard sale. He’s the ultimate all rounder will turn his hoof at anything for you. He excels mainly in dressage competing at novice level with the potential to go further. He’s been to many ROR national championships and finished in the top 10. He’s multiple wins at prelim & novice level, places at show jumping and unaffiliated eventing.

He’s show jumped & done unaffiliated events up to 100. He has also had success in the show ring winning in hand and ridden ROR classes again he could really excel in this field as he has impeccable manners. He storms around cross country you just enjoy the ride.

He can be ridden by all abilities he’s very good at knowing who is on his back. He can go from prancing around a dressage test and storming a cross country course to tootling around for young children, elderly riders and help gain confidence with novice riders. He’s been used for a young teens GCSE where he gained them a high level pass.

Hacks alone I would ride him to war or down a motorway on him, equally he goes in company and is never silly.

Good to do in all ways he’s a proper gentleman. Up to date with everything, full history known.

I would like to keep in touch with his next home like I am in touch with his old owners as well.

16’2/3 Bay Gelding, 6 year old
Non racing agreement
ROR Eligible

Glenn is a very kind natured horse who is looking for his forever home. In January 2024 he unfortunately cut into himself during the race which had to be operated on causing a small bit of damage to his tendon, this has left him with scar tissue. He did go onto race a few more times since this but cannot withstand a high level of training .

For this reason he is now looking for an easy-going home which he is more than suitable for hacking/fun rides clinics, arena events etc but will not have a future competing.

If you were looking for an all rounder not a horse to retrain for competition, then Glenn is your horse!

Gloria has just retired from racing and is ready for someone to put their own stamp on.

Gloria does basic flatwork, she has three balanced flashy paces and carries herself well.

She happily pops a course of basic 90cm showjumps. She doesn’t rush, she has a very scopey and careful jump. The bigger the better. Bold and brave. A hardy type who would definitely excel on the hunting field.

She is a quiet straightforward ride, doesn’t needs lots of leg. She is more slow than go and as close to bombproof as you’ll find.

She is well mannered with a very genuine character and loves fuss. Happily stands tied up in the yard. Pulls the odd face around her dinner and other horses but that is all. She is more gelding than mare.

Has hacked out alone or in company around open fields & lanes, she isn’t fazed by anything. She is a very easy going person, never buzzy or silly.
Lives in & out alone or in company. Good to shoe, box & travel. No vices.

She has a scar around her off fore coronet band from 3 years or so ago. It doesn’t affect her and could be covered if required.

  • Ready to be brought on in any area

Bambi is a super genuine, kind horse who is ready to be brought on in any area.

He's been with us a little over a year, where he’s spent time mostly hacking and introducing schooling, pole work and has just began jumping. I bought him as a project to enjoy whilst my other horse was on box rest. He retired sound from racing as a 4 yr old and has had a quiet life adjusting to life off the track. He has a willing, happy temperament. He is fit, healthy and smart, wants to please and is happy to try anything. Although green he is brave, calm and a quick learner. He moves nicely and is just coming onto a contact but is still green in many aspects of schooling. He’s bold over poles and has plenty of scope.

He's a forward ride so would benefit from an experienced rider (but is never dangerous, has no ridden or handling vices and I have always ridden him in a snaffle). He hacks sensibly alone or in company. He isn’t spooky and is happy going over ditches, water, past traffic & animals (no issues with crab flies). He stands quietly by the lorry alone or with horses - I've taken him show jumping schooling and to a dressage competition where he was very relaxed, including in the warm up ring.

He’s great to load, clip, shoe, rug etc and is up to date with vaccines, shoes and teeth. Whilst he’s been with us he’s been stabled and turned out alone and in company.

Bam is only for sale because, with my studies and the return of my horse to work, I lack the time he needs to bring him on to his full potential. He is easy to do in all ways and is at a great basic point ready for someone to take him on and put their stamp on him. I am looking for an experienced 5* home with someone patient and kind to bring him on and enjoy him. Please no time wasters. But feel free to text/call with questions or more photos/videos.
