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.

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

  • 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.

We are looking for a 15.2hh to 16.3hh (give or take slightly) that is forward and genuine to a fence.

Our daughter has jumped up to junior newcomers and is a calm, capable rider. She has regular training with great coaches and comes from an experienced horsey family.

We can offer a long term, loving home. We keep our horses at home and they want for nothing. We can cater for most needs.
We ideally want something that is at least happy to hack out in company as we have lovely quiet hacking.

Horse must travel well in a trailer. Would consider sale, lease or loan. We are in the south west but will travel within reason.
Slight quirks/ailments considered but must be disclosed. Happy to wait for however long if your not quite ready to move your lovely horse on yet.

- Based at our Burford centre -

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

She is sweet-natured and affectionate, enjoys grooming, and bonds well with her people. Dream can be a little anxious in new situations and may feel strong to lead until she settles, but with consistent, reassuring handling she relaxes and shows her steady, kind temperament.

Dream currently lives out happily in a herd of mares and would suit living out full time, with the potential to mix with geldings after careful introductions. She would make a wonderful companion in a peaceful, understanding home.


Super Smart, Competitive Grassroots Event Horse

  • Kind, genuine temperament with a lovely personality
  • Fit and ready to continue the 2026 season

Goose is a smart, genuine and competitive 16.3hh, 11yo ISH gelding by Bahrain Cruise x Maltstriker.

I have owned him since he was 3 and we’ve done everything together. With a strong focus on eventing, he has competed and won at 90 level, with numerous double clears and top 10 placings at BE90. He has also won at Prelim dressage, has multiple placings and double clears at unaffiliated showjumping, and has been successful at hunter trials.

He has started the 2026 season strongly, finishing 3rd and double clear in arena eventing in his first outing of the year. And completed 90cm hunter trial just outside top 10, with more entries booked in.

He has three smart paces and a neat, scopey jump, comfortably trained over 1m-1.10m+. He is brave and genuine cross country - ditches, steps, water, combinations etc.

Goose hacks alone and in company and is good to shoe, clip, load and handle. He’s easy to have on the yard and has the most loving personality, he truly is a special horse.

He would make a fantastic and competitive BE grassroots contender (sadly I’m now overqualified), and I can absolutely see him flying round Badminton Grassroots one day! He would also suit a keen riding club home wanting a smart, competitive all-rounder.

Although he has been ridden and competed lightly by amateurs, I am looking for a competent, knowledgeable and experienced home. Goose is a smart, intelligent horse who thrives with a confident rider. He is genuine and never malicious, with a sensitive and loving nature.

He has previous medical history which will be fully disclosed. It has been fully investigated and treated, with no ongoing management or treatment required, and he has had a clean bill of health since early 2023 with many competitions completed successfully since.

I know this horse inside and out, and full transparency is hugely important to me. His history and occasionally sensitive nature is reflected in his price. Most importantly, I simply want him in the very best home. He means a great deal to me and deserves nothing less.

He is fit and ready to continue the 2026 season, and progress through the levels.

For sale or lease (lease to stay at my yard)
£14,000
Full wardrobe available by separate negotiation (dressage & jump saddles included)
Based North Essex, near Saffron Walden

Serious enquiries only.

Mickey (aka Mickey Blue Eyes) is a handsome Appaloosa × Dartmoor × Warmblood gelding seeking a loving home as a non-ridden companion.

He is good to catch, enjoys being groomed, and is comfortable having his feet picked out, as well as being well behaved for both the vet and farrier. Mickey is a kind pony who responds well to calm, consistent handling; however, he can become a little strong to lead if unsettled, so he will benefit from an adopter who can offer reassurance, routine, and clear boundaries.

He currently lives happily in a mixed herd with both mares and geldings.

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.

Seeking a talented horse or pony to loan

  • Passion for Show Jumping
  • Short term Summer Loan or Long Term Competition Home Offered
  • 14 year old competitive jockey
  • Passion for Show Jumping
  • Short term Summer Loan or Long Term Competition Home Offered

I am seeking a talented horse or pony to loan for my 14 year old daughter due to the long term injury of her 16hh horse, therefor my funds are tied up with this unforeseen and upsetting situation.

Her passion and love is within Show jumping where she has competed up to 90cm unaffiliated and 1'10 under instruction.
We offer a varied all rounder home, on a private yard with school, individual turn out, great hacking and access to the moors. 3.5t spacious horse box, 3 very local competition venues right on our doorstep and a fantastic coach who teaches us both. Active pony club member, who has competed up to regional champ level and recently qualified for the barrier animal health champs, however decided to pass down to another member as she secured a ride on someone else's horse for the day!

Not your average teen rider! Along side myself, she schools people's ponies locally and is paid to do so, often being asked to ride difficult ponies, she is offered competitive rides often, which is great as she can earn some money and gain lots of experience riding different horses, often only riding them for the first time on the day in the warm up! But its not quite the same as having a number 1 to love, groom and ride.

She has been producing ponies with me for the past 3 years, backing, schooling and competing, often riding my 16'2 Dutch warmblood mare, whilst retraining her OTTB, said horse is very highly strung and complexed without the now long term injury. She transitioned to horses 1.5 years ago with ease having had a very successful 2 years on her 14'2 and various smaller ponies previously who were either backed or produced to well schooled allrounders, sold to fund the next height.

She has the ability to get on most horses/ponies and work them out for the first time, getting results and harmony quickly. She has an excellent seat and balance, has been taught to ride from the seat rather than the hand, very good hands and also to ride and hold forward horses/ponies to a fence.

We are very open to young and green providing the talent is there and it wants to jump, equally it would be lovely to have something established as we have never had the luxury of having something ready made!

Would consider going BS in the future, but this is absolutely not essential and would only affiliate when the right partnership is formed.

Open to full up 14'2 pony or up to 16'2 horse, as she is 5’4 and still growing, something easy to handle on the ground is a must however we don't mind quirks and spice under saddle just nothing nasty or dangerous.

Will consider short term summer loan or a special long term option!

Might be situation where someone is going off to uni, injured or time and facility restrictions means you have something talented that needs to get out and about ready to to be sold or something you are looking to be competed at a decent level longer term. Jockey is available now and keen to have a season of competing, has a reserve camp space in August at Pontispool where she will have to steal my horse if she doesn't have one!

Many references can be provided, we offer a knowledgeable and experienced home where I can assist with schooling and riding as a mother daughter duo, but the main rider competing is my daughter.
