More mature lady who has ridden all her life looking for her last horse. Would prefer around 10 year old who has seen a bit of life but not adverse to younger if sensible, preferably gelding but would consider a mare if it ticked all the right boxes.

Must be good to hack alone & in traffic, polite on the ground & good to catch,clip shoe etc. would live at home with my other 2 horses who have access to grass during the day & good size all weather turnout with field shelters overnight, I have stables if weather is very bad.

Home for life, references available, home check welcome.

Budget flexible for the right horse.

Buck has run under rules and PTP but unfortunately was too slow. He retired from racing sound and injury free. He is now thriving with a career change and is really enjoying learning his new job. He is already beginning to look very smart on the flat and has a scopey and careful jump. He is currently being professionally re schooled and is very quickly showing a lot of promise for eventing or would be an ideal candidate for ROR showing classes.

He’d be perfect to aim for the ROR class at Cornbury with £45k prize fund!

He has been Xc schooled including ditches, water, steps and skinnies. He is good to do in all ways, hacks out alone and in company and has quickly become a yard favourite

  • Fantastic jump
  • Qualified RoR Dressage champs
  • Low mileage
Ash is a great example of a solid thoroughbred. Don’t let his age put you off, has relatively low mileage out of racing and no one told him he’s 16!

Ex P2P, he loves to jump and also has lovely paces qualifying for RoR Dressage champs in only 3 outings.

Has competed SJ, HT, ODE 80cm but could go further in right hands. Foot perfect at camp this month taking on technical combinations and bigger jumps with ease.

Great to catch, clip, load etc but doesn’t like a fuss… a tack up and go type.

Hunted in previous home, he would also make great team chaser.

Hacks alone but prefers company, likes to be up front but goes last.. might just get a jigjog on.

Ash would excel in a busy yard with routine and herd turnout. Currently out in summer, in at night over winter. He would stay out 24/7 as winters well.

Recently scoped and ulcers treated so tummy is all good!

Up to date with teeth, vaccs, physio etc

Saddle new for him last year under separate negotiation.

Rising 8, 17.3 grey gelding. We brought Kenbee at the end of 2022 with the view to re train him to event.

He came on very nicely with slow and correct work in place. He has 3 beautiful paces with a bold clean jump.

He has competed at BE90 twice in the 2024 season. In his first ever event he came away with a lovely test, a couple of rider mistake poles and a clear xc. He behaved impeccably!

He’s also been out to dressage competitions again where he was foot perfect.

He will jump anything you put infront of him giving you a really confident feel underneath.

He is snaffle mouthed for everything, hacks alone and in company. He has escorted children’s hacks at home, taking the lead and staying at the back.

Very kind nature, is handled by young kids and novice adults on the ground.

He is however a competition horse and I would like him to go to a competitive home whether that be eventing, show jumping or dressage.

The decision to sell Kenbee has not come easily but I decided to go travelling middle of 2024 and am now not returning home anytime soon and he cannot be wasted hence his sale!

Whilst I’ve been away my mum and sister have been schooling him regularly so he is ready for someone to take on and carry on producing him.

He is turned out in a mixed herd, easy to catch, clip, shoe, load, travel, worm, vet .. the list goes on.

Meet Bond - The time has come to find my Bond his new forever home. Bond has such a lovely kind temperament and is just a really lovely horse to have around.

Bond is currently out of work due to Joe fault of his own. When in full work he work’s beautifully and gives his rider a nice feeling. He’s mostly just hacked in his time with me, hacks alone and in company, good with traffic. Hasn’t done any jumping with me other than the odd log out hacking. He started coming back into work at the start of the year but due to his rider having a non horse related injury his work stopped. I’ve started longreining him out and done some lunging but I’m too heavy to ride him (14stone). He likes a nice lightweight rider.

Injury and vice free, up to date with all his vaccinations, teeth and feet. He has a couple of small flat sarcoids, one on his face and stifle, these have never grown and I’m treating them with a natural healing balm which had great results with my other horse. Good to load and travel, you’d forget he’s even in the box.

Petersfield based. Please no timewasters, no loans/plans, tack and rugs not included. He’s a bargain for how talented he is!

This is a very hard sale so please no timewasters or people looking for a chat. He will only go to the best home and I won’t sell him unseen. Serious inquiries only.

Forever home, no dealers. References required.

Picture from last summer, I will get some updated ones but he looks just as well now.

'Great Fun' Thoroughbred Bay Gelding 16.1 14 years

Freddie schools very nicely, has three lovely paces and also produces a lovely dressage test. He loves to hack, is great in traffic and enjoys a good gallop when given the opportunity. Would be a great fun ride horse as he behaves beautifully around other horses.

In Freddie's early years he was a racehorse, he has also previously competed in eventing and more recently he has competed in dressage, and been schooling up to 90cm.

Freddie is amazing for the farrier, he always loads straight away and is very good to catch. He is sedated when he is clipped due to him being twitchy. He is always ridden in a snaffle and is never strong or silly and is very safe and reliable.

We have recently had Freddie treated for possible arthritis in his hind hocks, so far with positive results. Freddie was treated successfully for stomach ulcers over 18 months ago and has had no issues since in this regard.

Where Freddie goes is very important as he is a very special. He will need the option to live in and out and ideally with the company of other horses.

We have made the sad decision to sell because my daughter wants to continue to progress with competing in show jumping and wants to push to bigger heights.

He would suit someone who would like to compete in dressage, hack, do low level jumping or enter ROR.

Flash is a lovely 10 year old gelding with a lot to offer. He raced a few times but unfortunately wasn’t one of the fastest so came off the track after a very short racing career. Has done pony club, low level showjumping and hunting with a previous owner.

I haven’t had much time for him since I brought him due to a change in personal circumstances but have managed to do some schooling at home and have hacked him alone and in company. Due to the lack of work he will be sold from the field. Price reflects this

Good to stand for farrier/dentist. Loads well. Previous owner noted he is good to clip and was clipped when I bought him. Very hard sale but he is wasted potential with me currently

Advertised at £5000 when I bought him but open to offers for a hassle free sale to someone who will give him a good home

Buzz has recently retired from racing and is ready for someone to make their own. Potential to excel in any sphere.

Buzz does basic flatwork, he has balanced flashy paces but needs a little bit of help learning about an outline. Snaffle mouthed.

He has been to an arena hire which he took all in his stride and happily jumped a course of 90cm showjumps. The bigger the better. Not phased by any fillers. Super genuine and always willing to please.

He has also been XC schooling, taking it all in his stride, never says no. Clever & careful at everything he met ditches, water, you name it he’ll do it.

He is more slow than go and as close to bombproof as you’ll find but would prefer someone with some confidence.

He is a gentleman, well mannered with a very kind character. Can be handled by anyone, he’s like a dope on a rope. He will happily be fussed and led around by children.

Has hacked out alone or in company around open fields & lanes, never silly, strong or spooky. Good in all types of traffic.

Lives in & out in company. Good to shoe, box & travel. Up to date with flu, back, teeth & shoes.

He has been seen to windsuck. Only occasionally whilst tied up or stabled with me and it’s merely him making a burpy noise. He doesn’t crib.

Please no novice or nervous riders!
No loans. No payment plans. No timewasters or day trippers. We are a busy yard. Serious enquiries only. No offers.
