Pony club / riding club horse for lease


Ref #: 400265
  • ID x ish 16hh 7 years old gelding
  • Loves to jump, great pony club horse
  • Looking for a lease home
  • Irish Draught
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 16 hands
  • ID x ish 16hh 7 years old gelding
  • Loves to jump, great pony club horse
  • Looking for a lease home
Looking for a lease initially 1 year but could be longer if required

Turns 7 in June, 16hh bay gelding

Loves to jump, he has completed 2 years on the trot pc camp where he was a true gentleman, been competing at 80cm in hunter trials and ODE over last year. Came 5th at the young horse eventing champs in Sept.

Attends regular lessons with me, attended funrides proving very sensible and even my 10 year old will school and jump him in the arena.
He has hunted but is very strong for the first 90 mins then settles once the excitement has subsided.

Really smart horse who loves to work and go out and see the world. Only being put up for lease as he is my horse and unfortunately kids horses/ ponies and events have taken over my life and he deserves to be out doing what he loves for a couple of years.

Looking for a lease home to continue his education and compete him either PC, riding club type events.

Can be a bit spooky if hacking alone nothing dangerous just checking you are awake on board.

Good in traffic can be wary of huge tractors/ lorries if they try and squeeze pass, he is fine
if you are pulled in safely and let them pass at a safe distance.

Great to box, clip, shoe, wash, up to date on everything and I would want this to continue as part of the contract.

He needs a confident but fair rider to get the best out of him, no novices or nervous Nellie as he would walk all over you.

Must have turn out and a stable and be looked after like and loved as he currently is. Want him to stay in the south west and will require regular updates and pictures as he is my pride and joy, would be fantastic if you can get a DC or instructor ref, please no photo collectors or video requesters

If you are interested please give me call to discuss or message with details of what you can offer him.
Many thanks

Stunning Dressage Horse for Lease


Ref #: 399461
  • 4th at Elem Regi 4th U25 Champs & WC Nationals 2025
  • Consistent winner over 70%+ in Elementary currently competing at Medium
  • A sub 30 eventing dressage machine up to 3* international
  • Dutch Warmblood

  • 14 years

  • 4th at Elem Regi 4th U25 Champs & WC Nationals 2025
  • Consistent winner over 70%+ in Elementary currently competing at Medium
  • A sub 30 eventing dressage machine up to 3* international

This lovely horse switched from BE to BD in the summer 2025, immediately gaining regional and national qualifications at elementary level.

He has only switched to dressage as this is what he loves and no longer enjoys the XC aspect of eventing.

He has been owned by the same family over the last 8 years & produced & competed by both daughters from their early teens who have trained all the way through with first Ian Woodhead and for the last 5 years Tracy Woodhead

He has correct elastic paces, straight uphill movement is currently training at AM and has started learning canter pirouettes.

Simba has a loving affectionate personality & adores attention. He is easy to handle & used to travelling long distances & staying away. He is happy on his own or with a full lorry.

Simba adores hacking both alone & in company.

The decision to lease Simba has not been easy. He is utterly loved adored & wanted but we need to do what is best for him. We are an eventing family & his 16 year old rider is in her first year of A levels & has 4 Eventers to compete in the upcoming season. She simply doesn’t have time to do him justice at the moment & he deserves to be somebody’s number 1.

We will only consider leasing him to an experienced 5* home & the right rider. He is a gentle soul & will be best suited to a quiet competitive rider who will love & enjoy him but doesn’t have the finances to purchase a horse like this.

  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 16 years

  • Happy living out 24/7
  • Would thrive with a patient handler

- Based at our Burford centre -

Ginge is a handsome Arab X. This lovely boy has come a long way since his arrival and initial rescue background. Because of his stressful past, Gingerbread is seeking a quiet, consistent, and patient home where he can continue to settle and truly thrive as a cherished companion.

What Ginge needs most is a dedicated handler in a settled environment. While he is generally sweet, his background means he can still be unsure or overwhelmed in new or stressful circumstances. Day-to-day, he is making great strides in his handling; he has improved with leading and is learning to trust during grooming and feet picking, tasks which currently require extra time and patience. He is currently kept with one other docile gelding, soon to be introduced to a small gelding herd.

The ideal home for Ginge is a quiet, one-on-one setup with consistent gelding friends. If you are looking for a gentle, mature companion horse and have the patience and dedication to help him continue to gain confidence, Ginge promises to be a rewarding and loyal addition to your herd.

Meet Fred, a spirited old man who is looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Although Fred is in his older years he doesn’t act his age and is still a kid at heart.

Fred is currently living out 24/7 in a herd of geldings, both big and small, old and young. He mixes well in the herd and looks after the younger ponies in the field, so would be a great baby sitter for a big herd. He does get attached to his field friends so will need equine company at all times.

Fred will need his grazing restricted in his new home, so would suit a home with other horses who have similar grazing requirements. He can be part stabled so is an easy addition to any horsey family.

Can you offer Fred a loving home?

- Based at our Burford centre -

Dream is a lovely 7-year-old Thoroughbred mare who came into our care in October 2025 as a transfer from an Irish horse charity. Dream is an ex-racer with a gentle heart, she is now looking for a calm, companion-only home where she can enjoy a peaceful, stress-free life.

Dream is a very sweet mare with a soft nature, but she does have some anxious tendencies. She will thrive best in a quiet environment with consistent, reassuring handling. She is good to catch and enjoys being groomed, happily bonding with those who spend time with her.

In new environments, Dream can be strong to lead, simply due to uncertainty. However, once she has settled and feels secure, she leads well and shows her true, steady temperament.

Dream is best suited to living out and currently lives happily in a herd of mares. With appropriate introductions, she could also be turned out with geldings.

As a standardbred breed, Mae is an excellent at taking additional grass! Meaning she doesn't need restrictive management in any form. A great addition to other large horses of similar management.

Roe is a handsome, gentle hunter-type gelding who is searching for his loving forever companion home. He is wonderfully mannered and good to handle in every way—easy to catch, lead, groom and pick out feet, and he is also a star for both the vet and farrier.

He is currently living out 24/7 but is equally happy with a routine that includes some stabling. Roe is overweight at the moment and is following a diet plan to help him safely slim down, so he will need a home committed to restricted grazing and ongoing weight management. He would also really enjoy and benefit from in-hand walks to keep him active.

Roe currently lives contentedly with geldings and has been living next door to mares. With sensible introductions, he could also join a mixed herd if needed.

If you’re looking for a kind, steady and affectionate companion who will thrive with attention and a structured routine, Roe could be the perfect addition to your herd.

For long term loan, rising 4 year old bay Hanoverian gelding by Franklin out of a German mare, currently standing at 16.3hh. Moves beautifully and has a wonderful temperament, awarded Premium grading as a foal, bred by Chadwells Stud.

Has been well handled and long lines, lunges and wears full tack, comes to call and genuinely a nice person to work with. Ready to back. Owned since weaning, genuine reason for putting him on long term loan - expecting a baby.

Does have two small sarcoids, neither are where tack sits, being topically treated, otherwise sound and healthy.

Will only go to the most knowledgeable and kind homes with experience of backing and bringing on young horses. Looking to loan for a minimum period of at least five years but preferably longer. Would consider loan with view to buy if both horse and loaner content. Ideally I would like him to stay within two hours of Downham Market, Norfolk, so that I can see him progress, but will consider further afield also.

Contract will be in place to protect both parties. If interested please contact me via text or WhatsApp message initially.

  • A pleasure to hack - safe and sensible in traffic
Much-loved Connemara mare available for loan, to stay at current yard. I’ve had her since I was 15, and she truly taught me the ropes. As I’m abroad now, she’s looking for a quieter, more relaxed life with someone who will enjoy everything she has to offer.

She’s a pleasure to hack - safe and sensible in traffic, happy to go alone or in company, not spooky, and enjoys a canter while coming back easily when asked. She is well schooled, has competed at low-level dressage, and will happily pop small fences up to around 70cm. She knows her job and really shines with a rider who can press the right buttons.

This mare has a fantastic zest for life and a big personality. She can be a little bossy (as mares often are!) on the ground, so she needs a competent, kind rider/handler. She doesn’t respond well to heavy-handedness but is willing, genuine, and always keen to please. She loves her work and is an absolute delight to ride.

She would suit someone looking to enjoy hacking, low-level all-round activities, or a sensible mother/daughter share. Lightweight rider only (maximum 10 stone).

She must remain at her current yard.

Henry has jumped and been placed up to 1.10 BS but has plenty of talent to move up the grades. He has been jumped by teenagers in NSEA classes and bronze league semi finals (1.25)

He has a clean change both ways. Does lateral work and doesn’t get sharp if not ridden everyday. However I wouldn’t say he is for a novice as is a proper competition horse and likes a job.

He be has travelled on all transports.

His only vice is if travelling as a pair he’s not a fan being left alone but can be. He will also just happily stand with a human and not make a noise.

Currently in light work with a friend
