Inoculations are up to date with next due March 2026 and fully shod.

Previous to me owning Rupert, he has always lived on a yard with barn type stabling and lots of horses, and was on a racing yard as the trainers personal pet hacking out regularly. Currently he has an individual stable in a 2 acre slopping field, sharing with a pony, this new living situation is not suiting him, and he needs to be in a livery/yard type home with other horses.

He is still a youngster and needs a confident rider to bring him on as he is low mileage (not a novice ride), but hasn’t been fazed by traffic when I have had him in hand on a busy main road, whoever is lucky to buy him will be able to put their own stamp on him.

He has always had excellent ground manners with me and my family.

I have only owned him for 3 months and previously he did menage work fine, I don’t have these facilities, and you will be buying from the field. He has stunning movement and with the right owner he could go a long way.

Used to a lorry but loaded okay for me on a trailer (Ifor 510).

Loving home essential as he is a cuddle monster, who even loves you holding his tongue if you tap his lip lol, he has a wicked personality and I mean this in a good way. This is a very sad sale but I have to do what is best for my boy.

Currently turned out with the option of him using his stable as he wants, which is normally when it is raining, previous to this, stabled overnight and turned out if weather permitting.

Please message me for videos, but I don't have any ridding videos.

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.

Handsome George - George - 16.1 10yo bay TB gelding.

George is a kind, gentle horse who has seen it all. Retired sound from racing he has hunted, hacked, XC schooled and SJ.

He is beautiful on the flat, uphill paces and ready for someone to really tune up - we believe he would excel in the RoR classes.

He has showjumped around a full course of BS fences, including fillers etc. Still low mileage SJ but very willing, makes a good shape over a fence and seems to enjoy it very much.

We have recently XC schooled him where he jumped ditches, steps, water, hedges and everything inbetween. There is no reason he wouldn’t go on to make a great little eventer. He has also hunted.

He is good to hack, is great in traffic and open spaces. Good to clip, shoe, bath, load and travel. Just a horse that is easy to deal with.

No novices please- would like to see him go to a home that is going to bring him to his full potential.

  • Heart Horse Material – Low mileage, well-trained, and ready to bond with the right rider.

Beautifully built, kind, and forward-thinking gelding looking for a loving, capable home. Skeggy is a 10-year-old Thoroughbred with a strong topline, excellent schooling, and a wonderfully trainable brain. He’s competed in unaffiliated dressage and show jumping (up to 90cm), enjoys cross country and hacking, and has also taken part in fun rides like Windsor.

Retrained with a focus on groundwork and balance, he’s polite, intelligent, and willing—an ideal partner for a confident amateur or experienced rider who wants to continue his education. He’s been brought on slowly and has low mileage, with lots of potential still to explore.

Excellent with farrier, vet, dentist, and loads well with regular practice. One old cosmetic scar on hind leg from racing days—purely visual, no impact on performance. Previously had ulcers due to limited turnout; fully treated, and thriving now in a herd with ample turnout.

Includes well-fitting dressage and jumping saddles, rugs, and tack.

This is an incredibly sad sale of a special horse who deserves a home where he’ll be truly appreciated. Home will be vetted.

Serious enquiries only.


River , 16.3hh, 8 year old bay gelding, SUPER EVENT PROSPECT! Will go all the way in the correct hands

River , 16.3hh, 8 year old bay gelding, SUPER EVENT PROSPECT! Will go all the way in the correct hands

River has been slowly and correctly produced, gaining his scores in his unaffiliated dressage tests, never scoring below mid to high 60%s in his dressage. Qualified first rounds SEIB trailblazers championships, ready to qualify second rounds in the next week. Just moved up to Novice level dressage and ready to affiliate.

River has been to numerous arena hires, popping round courses of 90cms and 1m with ease! So
Much scope to go up the levels, he has also been to arena eventing hires a few times and lots of XC hires (sommerford park a few times, rectory farm park and Swalcliffe Ec).

River has team chased, (didn’t even have a cavasson noseband on, just went round in a snaffle with minimal tack) nothing fazing him, hedges, ditches , water, steps etc, he has also hunted over some big country and attended numerous ladies days where he has been impeccably well behaved and learnt to settle on a hunting field.

River is a horse that needs a job, he loves going out and about , and it’s never too much to ask , he would go out every day to do something if he could! At competition venues he is an absolute pleasure , calm and easy to handle, warm up arenas no problem, and just delivers every single time.

River is fit and ready to go, I would love to see someone continue to produce him and further his education, stepping him through the levels in any discipline.

A bit of background: Finished racing December 2022, only ran twice so very low mileage
Had some few months down time after racing.

So this horse is something very special, a real head turner and such a pleasure to deal with! he also absolutely loves a fuss! A real life teddy bear

Great In open spaces, always snaffle mouthed, Hacks alone ( although can take some encouragement if he is nervous of something) or in company, good in heavy traffic, fit and ready to go , very well schooled, works in a beautiful outline, 3 balanced paces, very flashy and uphill movement.

Done Pub rides(stands whilst you finish your drinks)

Good to box, clip (although a little ticklish in some areas!) and shoe, up to date on shoes and vaccinations up to date and just been wormed.

Has had a wind op, after his first race doesn’t affect him in anyway.
Retired sound no injuries. However, has been seen to weave invery occasionally when stressed/ not getting enough work/ turnout
(Soon settles and isn’t constant only at times of high stress) and this must be a handful of times I’ve seen this over the past year and a half!

Turns out alone or with others (mares and geldings)

River is one I would keep for myself as we have spent a long time producing him, but I have too many horses and I can’t keep them all, he will make such a fantastic horse for someone

Emma (Emmas Dilemma)

13yo 16.1 TB, bay mare, ROR eligible.

Emma is a really lovely stamp.  She has enjoyed the last 6 years being hacked, fun rides and hunting, regularly ridden by a 12  year old girl.

A knowledgeable 5 star home is essential. 

Emma is fit and ready to go, up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth etc.

She has a really super jump, a little green but careful, scopey, honest and would be a great prospect for ROR showjumping and eventing or a great riding club allrounder.  Alternatively she can just be enjoyed as she is, a fun well mannered hack good on the roads, in open spaces and alone and in company.
 
I will require videos of riders to ensure suitability

Chief 16.1hh - Lovely stamp with a superb presence. 8 year old, bay ex racehorse

Absolutely beautiful in every way, movement , looks and temperament this gentleman has it all!

Hacks out alone or in company, happy to lead or go behind. Perfect lead horse just gets on with his job! Forward but safe, can have a jig jog.

3 balanced paces, and works beautifully, really floaty and so effortless! Would excel in a dressage arena.

Raced over jumps, and LOVES his jumping, is very bold with a very willing fantastic attitude , nothing fazed him, fillers , water trays , planks , super bold and careful will get you out of any situation.

Been to arena hires, and behaved impeccably going round a course of 90cms even at a trot, very scopey, bit green around a course but a very quick learner and never refuses. very careful over poles.

Would suit an ambitious amateur or competent teenager looking to do more, chief just wants to be ridden and enjoy himself, he needs a job and happiest when out and about.

Very bold! And so professional, bombproof in the heaviest of traffic! Crosses A roads, cars and trailers not an issue, perfect with farm machinery working right next to the arena

Good in open fields; will walk, trot or canter whatever you ask him to do. Go in front or behind.

a really fun horse with heaps of potential

a lot of fun and very eye catching

Chief is ready for his first dressage test and booked in for his first xc,
He has also been hunting, stood at the meet, perfectly well behaved to have a drink, a little impatient when you get going and just wants to keep his feet moving, not a ready made hunter but would come in time. He did hunt in a snaffle and a flash noseband. He wants a home he can go out and do a bit of everything, jumping, dressage, XC, the lot! He loves it all!

Please note he isn’t a novice ride, he is always safe, but does have a jigjog, always snaffle mouthed but needs an experienced/confident rider who enjoys a horse that wants to work and have fun, he is quite a sensitive ride, he doesn’t want someone that’s got heavy hands or heavy on the leg, he is willing to please.

Can be seen to windsuck in the stable which is reflected in his price. Never bites or kicks or pulls a face, he is a very friendly person, no injuries, this horse is wanted for nothing, he is very well loved.

Looking for a new home

My sweet boy is looking for a new home, 16.1 12 year old TB chestnut Gelding. He retired sound from racing in March 21. He has impeccable ground manners, and has such an amazing temperament. He’s great with the farrier, vet, dentist, clipping etc… and his health checks are all up to date including physio and dentist.

Unfortunately due to myself having a baby since racing he has very low milage. He hacks out alone and in company and is good in all traffic.

He has three correct paces, jumping small fences proving bold and confident just needs time to develop. He stands nicely at the mounting block and eager to please both under the saddle and on the ground.

This is a genuine sad sale, Shane needs a loving experienced home that has the time to put into him the he deserves

  • Achieved BD Area Festival qualification in only 2 outings
  • Attractive horse with a lovely natural balance
  • Willing and trainable temperament with huge potential for dressage success

Stunning Bay gelding who has been slowly and correctly retrained for his second career. Low mileage and time has been taken to educate him steadily and consistently without cutting any corners.

He is a kind, willing horse who wants to please. Hacks out sensibly both alone and in company. He is easy to take to competitions on your own- he loads and travels well, stands happily on the lorry between classes and is calm and rideable even in busy warm up arenas.

He has had an allround education while with us including SJ and arena eventing competitions and xc schooling several times. He jumps well and is brave to a fence but we feel he shows the most potential in dressage so have focused his training on this.

He has been successful at u/a dressage so we have recently started BD. He has easily achieved his Area Festival qualification at Prelim in just 2 outings and has the potential to go much further.

I would love to find him a home where he can continue to progress and am sure he will have lots of success and fun along the way.

He is a responsive, forward ride so not suitable for very nervous or novice riders but is a straightforward ride for any reasonably competent rider.

No vices or health issues. Same owner for last 2 years.
