Fabulous 16.3hh, 4 year old, Gelding, by Leander (TB producing successful eventers and show horses) Out of mare by Furst Kiss (WESTF)

He’s a stunning mover with tonnes of jump and presence. Incredibly active hind leg. Impressive loose jump with plenty of blood.

Would easily produce on in any sphere. He has a wonderful unflappable temperament.

Lightly shown as a 2 year old. Backed Autumn 2025 as a 3 year old. He’s a big horse so been given time to grown into himself. Now back in and beginning to hack out.

Loads and travels well, very easy to do on the ground.

Has been in the same home since a yearling. Price negotiable to the right home.

He has got some tiny sarcoids inside his front leg. Of no concern but priced accordingly.

Beautiful 15.1/2hh Irish Mare, 6y/o Dora for sale.

Dora is the most sweet natured and kind horse. She is a real good-doer.

Dora is broken and riding away, but still green as she is a late starter, for this reason she is not suitable for a novice. Dora is more woah than go, and requires her rider to push her forward. She is coming along nicely, but like with any green horse can be a bit unbalanced.

She has started jumping, and is showing real potential and scope. She is very confident and not a stopper!

She would make a lovely low level all rounder. Very safe and sensible to hack alone or in company.

She has been out hunting and to dressage/sj shows where she behaved impeccably.

Dora does not like clippers and has to be sedated.

This sale is truly heartbreaking so please no time wasters, or joyriders. Home is more important than price so offers are considered.

Please note Dora has no recorded breeding but was sold to me as a Connemara X. My guess is she is an ID X Connemara.

Attractive and quality eventer, was in training to race but never ran, has started eventing this year and taken to it really well. Previously in an amateur home. Settled into our routine and system very easily, a nice horse to handle and have around. Double clear at BE100 and also picking up 4th and 6th placings, never had a xc fault.

Good off the leg with three nice and correct paces, flashy paces and will continue to really move well once he gets stronger and already scoring sub 30. Very light and even in the contact. Polite and easy to a fence and just goes in an eggbutt, so far showing good scope and carefulness. Recently been to Chard BS, jumping courses of 1.10m at home with ease. Very easy to handle, and do at the lorry and warm up. Jumps hedges, gates and been xc schooling.

Has also hunted and team chased. Enjoys his work and would be ideal for an individual or family who wants to do a bit of hunting in the winter but have a horse who is quality enough to do some eventing in the summer

Wouldn’t be suitable for a complete novice as only just started eventing and has a sarcoid (doesn’t affect him) which is reflected in price

Good to shoe, clip, load etc

Some horses catch your eye the moment they walk into the yard. Vintage is one of those horses.

Standing proud with good conformation, plenty of bone, and a solid frame, he is the sort of horse that immediately gives you confidence. A true old-fashioned type with a hoof in each corner, he has substance, presence, and quality in abundance. He is a striking horse to look at and carries himself well.

What makes Vintage so special, however, isn’t just how impressive he looks. It’s who he is.

In a world where genuine, kind horses are becoming increasingly hard to find, Vintage is the horse everyone gravitates towards. He has the sweetest nature imaginable and doesn’t possess a single ounce of badness. Kind, honest, and straightforward, he is a pleasure to have around both in and out of the stable.

His current owner is 83 years old and handles and works with him regularly, which speaks volumes about his temperament and manners. He is the sort of horse that wants to please, takes everything in his stride, and approaches life with a calm and willing attitude. Safe, sensible, and incredibly affectionate, he is loved by everyone who meets him.

One of Vintage’s greatest qualities is his versatility. He is equally happy enjoying a relaxed lifestyle filled with hacking, pleasure rides, riding club activities, fun rides, and quality time with his owner as he would be progressing towards a more ambitious future.

His easy-going nature makes him an ideal partner for someone looking for a genuine all-round horse to enjoy and make memories with. Whether it’s quiet countryside hacks, beach rides, local shows, fun rides, or simply being a much-loved member of the family, Vintage would embrace it all with enthusiasm.

At the same time, his natural athleticism and ability make him an exciting prospect for the future. He is a very good jumper with plenty of natural talent and scope, and with further schooling in place, he could easily turn his hoof to a competition home. He has all the ingredients to excel as a riding club horse, eventer, show jumper, hunter, or competitive all-rounder for someone wanting to unlock his full potential.

Adding even more appeal is his exceptional pedigree. Vintage is by the highly regarded Red Jazz, a sire renowned for producing athletic, versatile offspring with excellent movement and trainability. Behind him sits Johannesburg, a world-class racehorse and influential sire known for passing on quality, athleticism, intelligence, and performance. Further back in his lineage is the legendary Hennessy, whose bloodlines have contributed to countless successful horses worldwide.

This is a pedigree packed with proven performance, class, athleticism, and quality, and those traits are evident throughout Vintage.

What makes him particularly special is that he combines the pedigree and ability to achieve great things with the temperament that so many people spend years searching for. He is a horse that can be enjoyed and appreciated by a wide variety of riders and homes, making him a truly rare find.

Vintage is more than just a beautiful horse. He is a trustworthy partner, a best friend, a confidence-giving companion, and a horse with a very bright future ahead of him.

For someone looking for a kind, versatile, quality horse with a golden temperament and an exceptional pedigree, Vintage could be the horse you’ve been waiting for.

Gus is a genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to life. He is the sort that can happily be ridden a couple of times a week as a safe and enjoyable hacker, yet equally has the talent and willingness to thrive in a more competitive home. Always in a snaffle.

He hacks confidently alone or in company and is absolutely bombproof in traffic. Gus is good with dogs, children and all the everyday things that make him such an easy horse to have around.

He has attended eventing training shows, showjumping competitions, arena hires and has hunted with both the Tynedale and Duke of Buccleuch, proving himself to be bold, honest and reliable over hedges and country. Equally, he is sensible enough to happily sit at the back of the field and quietly stroll home when asked. Gus has competed in the Silver Spur and looked after me over some huge hedges.

Everything Gus has done has been managed by myself alone, with no help. He loads like a dream and is a straightforward, genuine horse to take out and enjoy.

He would be ideal for someone looking for a safe, confidence-giving horse to enjoy hacking and popping the occasional jump, but he also shows real promise for someone wanting to further his education in eventing or other competitive disciplines. His willing nature and desire to please make him a pleasure to ride and produce. He has taken care of me time and time again and given me the confidence to jump hedges bigger than I ever thought I would.

Gus is offered for sale through absolutely no fault of his own, and this is a genuinely heartbreaking decision. He will only be sold to the right home where he can continue to be loved and enjoyed.

A truly special horse who is ready to make his next owner very happy.

16hh | 8yo Irish Mare – Competitive Jumping Prospect

This talented little pocket rocket is looking for a new home with a competent teenager or amateur rider ready to have fun and be competitive.

She has all the attributes to make a fantastic Bronze League BS contender. Currently with no points, she’s eligible to go straight out and jump British Novice and Discovery classes to gain those all-important double clears.

Previously in a Pony Club/allrounder home in Jersey, she has since shown that she thrives in a more competitive environment. As a result, she doesn’t suit her current owners who are seeking a quieter type.

She is a forward-thinking mare who loves having a job to do and would suit someone wanting a responsive, enthusiastic ride. She benefits from regular turnout and would ideally have a home offering at least some winter turnout.

On the ground, she is a pleasure to have around – very sweet-natured and easy to handle. She has been clipped, shod, and seen the dentist with us, behaving impeccably on all occasions. She’s easy to catch, good to turn out, and is happy both alone or with company.

This is not a horse for someone seeking a quiet dressage ride – she is sharp, fun, and built for performance.

She would also make a cracking hunting prospect for next season.

Serious enquiries only for this exciting, genuine mare.

Fergie has a great attitude towards his work. Fergie was bought earlier this year as I wanted to produce another horse along side my eventer however he is just too big for me.

He was broke earlier this year and then had a break to process. He is now back in work and is excelling. He hacks alone or in company

3 great paces. Scope to burn.

Would be a great eventer or hunt horse.

Zeus

The ultimate allrounder who can truly turn his hoof to anything. Zeus is a classy, genuine horse with a wealth of experience and a lovely temperament to match. He offers three exceptionally comfortable paces, a beautifully balanced way of going, and the most wonderful rocking horse canter that makes him a pleasure to ride. Adores his flat work and rides like a show horse, he’s the type you could sit on for hours. The definition of an armchair ride.

He has done it all, dressage, showjumping, Xc, hunting, forest rides, sponsored rides, fun rides, and plenty of hacking. He absolutely loves water and throughly enjoying a swim in the river.

To a fence, Zeus is a true point and steer type, incredibly genuine, committed, and happy to go from any stride. He gives his rider enormous confidence, always wanting to help rather than question.

In the hunting field, Zeus is an absolute machine. He adores working with the hounds, stands beautifully at the meet, and is the ultimate ditch jumper. He is equally happy to thrust into action on a big county day or to sit back and enjoy a quieter, smaller day. He’ll happily sit anywhere in the field and behaves impeccably throughout.

Although Zeus is straightforward, kind, and easy to ride, he would be wasted in a novice home simply because he has so much to offer. He is a responsive ride and therefore wouldn’t suit an unbalanced novice who kicks rather than squeezes.

He hacks happily alone or in company and is a real gentleman in every way. Outside of the arena, he has always been ridden in a rubber pelham, which he enjoys and goes beautifully in, staying light and responsive in the hand across all disciplines. He will, of course, go in a snaffle, but is simply a nicer ride in his preferred setup.

On the ground, Zeus is every bit as kind as he is ridden, he loves people, children, and other animals, and is a true gentleman to handle. A genuine, honest horse who takes care of his rider and will offer someone a lifetime of fun, confidence, and enjoyment.

Zeus has had sarcoids removed in the past. They have not affected his performance, comfort, or ability to enjoy a varied and active life. This is an honest disclosure for knowledgeable buyers, but certainly does not take away from what an exceptional all-round horse he is. A minor consideration in what is otherwise a golden opportunity to have a horse like Zeus in your life.
