Stunning & Kind Black Gelding - Semi Retired


Ref #: 410805
  • Absolutely gorgeous boy, inside & out
  • Kind, friendly, easy to do and easy to have
  • Sound with no vices or quirks
£800 ONO
  • Sport Horse
  • Black
  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Absolutely gorgeous boy, inside & out
  • Kind, friendly, easy to do and easy to have
  • Sound with no vices or quirks
Jack is a stunning 16.1 almost jet black TB x WB with the easiest temperament. There is nothing bad to say about him; he's easy to mix, keep, handle, catch and live with. Always looks tidy, is happily barefoot in the field but will probably need shoes on to get back into work. He currently lives out 24/7 rugged for the weather, but has lived in at night and loves his stable.

We had to retire Jack from show jumping and all rounder life as he just wasn't happy to jump. We could never put our finger on it other than some very mild KS on his x-ray (can be provided). Jack won't pass a vetting but is strong, happy & healthy, so he's not going to cost a lot to look after. He is immaculately cared for and completely paddock sound, recent videos can be sent of him having a jolly time. No lumps or bumps and has been kept up to date with dentist and farrier for filing.

Jack can be bought back into work and kept up together with physio and flat work but is sold from the field as currently unridden. We've had him on grass livery for the last 6 months due to my daughter having two competition horses who take up all our time. Jack has so much love left to give so we do wish him to have a new family to hang out with. He loves long hacks, is used to farm machinery, huge lorries passing close by and is bomb proof in all traffic. We've never hacked him alone but he is impeccable in company; front, back or middle.

Would suit a mother's hack to take out with children, happy hacker for easy rides, companion or the ultimate Black Beauty field ornament if you wanted one!! Jack is always majestic to behold. He loves a fuss and cuddle, is great with kids, dogs, other horses and turns out with anyone / anything. Very nosey, so always with you in the field and leaning in if you're chatting nearby.

Based in Bristol, priced low as the right home is of most importance and we will wish to stay in touch. Strictly no dealers.

Roi de B’Neville (known as Neville around the yard) is a one in a million horse, reluctantly offered for loan (or possibly loan with view to buy) due to owner illness. He has been in the family for almost 10 years and has been an absolute pleasure to own.

Prior to current ownership he competed up to BE intermediate, and would still happily event at a lower level (given his age), or could easily turn his hand to unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, or a quieter life. He is a very young 21 year old with lots of energy. Would suit a mother/daughter share as he adapts to his rider - he’s the horse on the yard that people always want to borrow!

Hacks alone or in company. No vices, though requires a relatively experienced rider as he can be strong at times.

Currently based in South Warwickshire. Preference for him to remain at current yard.

Comes with tack and rugs. Home is very important so references will be required.

ONE IN A MILLION


Ref #: 409441
  • Grassroots/dressage superstar
  • Extremely competitive at BE90/100
  • Training at medium level dressage
POA
  • Dutch Warmblood
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Grassroots/dressage superstar
  • Extremely competitive at BE90/100
  • Training at medium level dressage

After 5 wonderful years and putting this off we are looking for a new home for Miracle SB (AKA Toto)

He needs no introduction and his records speak for themselves.

9yr old Dutch gelding 16.1 by Furst Romancier. He has three stunning level paces and is loved by the dressage judges usually always scoring 70% +. He has also evented upto BE100 level successfully with wins, always in the early/mid 20s in the dressage phase (had a 17 a few weeks ago!). He’s had several 9’s in his tests this year.

He is fantastic to hack and loves it- we go for miles! He is like a Labrador on the ground and extremely well mannered. Excellent to load, travel in 3.5t/7.5 lorry, shoe etc. He’s the type of horse that can have a few days off and is the exactly the same when you get back on. Not silly or spooky. That said he is a competition horse and would have a sensitive nature.

Whilst he has excelled eventing his comfort level is at 90/100 level and it’s time to find him a home where he will be someones number 1! With his breeding, the dressage is where he excels and he could very easily do pure dressage. He would be extremely competitive at Badminton Grassroots , however this isn't something his rider can pursue being overqualified.

He is extremely special and has been meticulously produced so will only go to a 5* knowledgeable home. Whilst he is straightforward he needs a balanced jockey who isn’t nervous.

He does crib at feed time and therefore his price reflects this. Never taken a lame step in the 5 years we have had him. He has had mild locking stifles since we have had him that have never effected his work or day to day life. Please do not enquire if this is of concern to you.

Very sensibly priced for this calibre of horse as a result of the above and would be open to lease to the perfect home.

Strictly no time wasters. Text messages will not be responded to.


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.

Do you have a 2 horned unicorn?


Ref #: 270569
  • Small tour dressage rider looking for loan all-round schoolmaster SJ (max 1m), hack and school
  • 15.3 - 16.2hh, gelding or mare 8yrs +
  • Beautiful home yard where they are treated as part of the family
  • Temperament and trainable brain as important as anything else
  • Open minded on age relative to experience
  • Must be sane and safe to handle and hack
  • Small tour dressage rider looking for loan all-round schoolmaster SJ (max 1m), hack and school
  • 15.3 - 16.2hh, gelding or mare 8yrs +
  • Beautiful home yard where they are treated as part of the family
  • Temperament and trainable brain as important as anything else
  • Open minded on age relative to experience
  • Must be sane and safe to handle and hack
We are well aware we are looking for the impossible but have always been successful so no harm in looking!

Through a series of the usual horse misfortunes, including catastrophic injury, sudden loss and lameness, I find myself without much joy in riding.

All being well the 'sportier' models amongst our horsey family will return to gainful employment after the Summer. But I would love to try and have some fun, without the pressure of high level competition in the meantime.
Picture the scene a beautiful summer morning (or evening) hack around the Surrey Hills. Or an evening SJ clinic over the dizzy heights of 90cm. or a fun ride trotting in and out of the water jump with the kids - all without the threat of dying in the process! I am not trying to replace my small tour dressage horses (time will do that) I simply want to remember what it means to have some fun.

So either an eventing schoolmaster or perhaps a horse who has seen and done it at a high level and would love a step down and a varied life and to be loved!

15hh - 16.2hh, gelding or mare. 8yrs +. Must be sound (enough for the job) and sane (this is non negotiable) I only have enough life insurance for my dressage lot.

Why might you consider this you may be asking? if you have a lovely horse that you can't sell for some reason, want back in 6, 12, 24 months for some reason or love him/her too much to turn them over to the young rider market to be risked, this may suit.

We have them at home, a track record of previous loans, masses of all year sand turnout, every day means every day, fabulous stables, brilliant International arena, hacking etc. Our vets, trainers (well known), farriers, physios and grooms will all tell you if they were a horse they would live with us. It wouldn't suit anyone wanting a horse campaigned, on a big yard. They would live with our big dressage boys, rehab Spanish, Shetland and retired (and a few sheep!).

Open minded on breed, size, age, medical etc. There are just a couple of criteria that are critical.

In Winter I ride under lights at night, often on my own in all weathers - they must be safe in this without blinkers!
Hacking Safely for us includes traffic, farm vehicles, open space, roads in company and alone, without the need for draw reins for safety!
Please no 17.2hh or rising 4 years olds.
No rehabilitations ( I have enough of my own!) and a PHD in this, I don't need any more case studies.
Nothing that has to be led around in a nose ring! We really care about having horses who are 'nice characters'
Please email in first instance with any ideas. We are based close to Guildford.
  • Loan or possible Lease - NOT BUYING AT MOMENT
  • To join family yard of Dressage horses who live like Kings and Queens
  • May suit much loved horse to step down, pregnancy break or just a plain no nonsense loan home
