Dressage Horse for Loan/Lease

Ref #: 403225
  • Fantastic movement and breeding
  • Working Advanced with talent for higher levels
  • Easy to do and always the yard favourite
  • KWPN
  • Dark bay
  • Gelding
  • 12 years
  • 17.1 hands
  • Fantastic movement and breeding
  • Working Advanced with talent for higher levels
  • Easy to do and always the yard favourite

Henry is a beautifully bred dressage horse who has been professionally produced from the start, giving him a fantastic foundation. Working at Advanced level, with green changes and passage. He is fit, well and ready to go out and compete – something he absolutely loves.

He has three expressive, adjustable paces and plenty of power with lots of gears in the tank. Previously competed Area Festivals at Elementary, before stepping up to Medium level. Unfortunately a minor injury set us back and with my work commitments I’ve not been able to get him back out competing where he belongs.

On the ground he is an absolute gentleman – kind, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle. He’s basically a giant dog and loves attention.

Under saddle he is a professional-level horse who thrives with the right rider. He can be spooky at times, so he needs someone confident who will give him reassurance, clear guidance and ride positively. With the right partnership he has so much to give.

Currently based in Romsey, Hampshire at a professional yard with excellent facilities and tuition available.

Ideally suited to a competent or professional-level rider who perhaps doesn’t currently have the budget to buy a horse of this calibre but would love the opportunity to ride and compete a talented dressage horse.

I am flexible with arrangements – part/full share, loan, lease etc – as the most important thing is finding the right person. He truly is my baby and deserves nothing but the very best partnership.

Please message for more information or to have a chat.

Ginger Fling

Reluctantly we have taken decision to rehome our lovely Chestnut gelding Ginger aged 14 and 16 hands .

Ginger has been with us five years, ridden by three siblings . Now two are at uni and we still have two horses, and simply can’t manage ..

Previously a showjumper, he has been a family all rounder in his current home, doing some showjumping, Hacking, and lessons.

He has a kind temperament, has been handled by all members of the family, the youngest of whom has been historically quite a nervous rider. In the past year he has given her so much confidence , and he has really looked after her.

He is delightful to hack. While flat work hasn’t been a favourite with the kids, he can go nicely when the time is put in. He still jumps, but we are looking for a home that wants to focus on the hacking and flatwork

He had a hock fusion a few few years ago , and now runs on anti-inflammatory daily. A knowledgable long-term home is essential.

He comes with and Equipe saddle , bridle, and full
Set of premier equine rugs.
Price reflects the value of these . £3000

We’d like him to go somewhere as close as possible to where we are based in South Oxfordshire, but the right home is the priority.

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home

Ref #: 403610
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Loving Home Wanted for Real Head Turner Black Mare 
15.1hh black Cob mare – a true gem with the kindest nature you could wish for.

Temperament: As kind and genuine as they come. Easy to shoe (shod on fronts), load, clip, catch etc.

Riding: A real “turbo cob” who loves her hacking. She’ll happily go for miles alone, nothing phases her, and she stood beautifully at the Autumn meet despite it being my first time. She loves to go forward but is never silly - making her safe, fun, and confidence-giving.

Presence: A real head-turner with her striking black coat

Experience: Ideal for someone who enjoys fun rides, hacking and local shows. She’s full of character, loves her work, and will give her rider endless enjoyment.

This mare is so much fun and deserves a kind, caring home where she will be cherished. She is not just a horse, but a partner who will bring joy to the right person.

Looking for: A thoughtful, loving owner who values her kind and genuine nature, appreciates her forward-going way, and wants a horse to enjoy life with.

Rory - Grade A showjumper for loan/lease

POA

  • Gelding
  • 15 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Schoolmaster
Rory is a 15 year old, bay, Dutch Warmblood gelding standing at 16.1hh, he is a Grade A showjumper and is the definition of a schoolmaster - he took his previous owner from jumping 1m up to jumping 1.40m tracks!

Since I have owned him, Rory has enjoyed a quieter, more varied life, he has been jumped for fun (he loves his jumping!) and taken out to arena hires and a couple of competitions.

Rory comes off the lorry and totally knows his job once he is there and loves it!

He doesn’t like to hack alone but will go with friends, he is great in traffic - will have the occasional spook but nothing nasty/dangerous.

He doesn’t have a long history of this, but since I have owned him he has experienced skin allergic reactions. He has been allergy tested which showed he was allergic to several things so we have learned to manage his flare ups which has worked well. Happy to discuss this with anyone interested along with any medical history.

Would suit a competent teenager coming off ponies or a competitive adult.

Loaner to cover full/part livery. And any additional cost to be covered.

To stay at current yard in Somerset.

More photos and videos available upon request.
