Cavaliers floris - a true first horse / amateurs dream
15.3h, 11year old Irish sport gelding

Floris is an extremely attractive model of a horse, he has outstanding breeding with his dam being a 1.40 jumper ( Cavalier Royale X Clover hill) and he’s directly by Floris TN (Quality time TN x Vancouver) we purchased him from his breeder.

We have owned Floris for over 3 years and he is truly part of the family. He was my daughter’s first horse and she got him when she was 12. He is the perfect step up from ponies.

He jumped round the COH viewing trial for 2 down, has qualified for numerous classes over the years, hickstead main arena a few times, he was double clear and placed in the discovery final, bluechip star final etc…
My daughter was very inexperienced and he has always bought her home safely.

We would like to see him go to a long term home whether it’s another child or an adult, he really is the sweetest horse.

This is a very sad sale, and not a decision we have taken lightly so serious enquiries only please

  • 16 years
  • 16.1 hands

Carrick Aldato Girl (Cabbage) is a very talented mare who has taken me from Novice to Inter 1 in only a few years.

Cabbage would excel in a Junior/Young Rider/COH competition home. Equally, she is very straightforward and would take her new rider up the levels and teach them all the tricks. She is easy to do in every way and I take Cabbage to competitions on my own often.

- PSG Area Festival Reserve Champion 2025
- Top 10 in both PSG Silver and Inter 1 Silver at Nationals 2025
- Qualified Inter 1 Silver Area Festival championships 2026

Cabbage has been my dream horse and only for sale due to her rider needing to focus on starting a non-horsey career. She really is an all-rounder and her dressage career only started a few years ago. Previously, Cabbage evented competitively up to 2* and enjoys jumping at home for fun, but ultimately the dressage is where her talent excels.

I am returning to horses later in life. Small, lightweight lady seeking a kind horse to take me hacking, go on local leisure rides and other new adventures. 14.1-15.3hh.

Prefer a gelding although non marish mares considered who don’t need restricted grazing and can live in our out (although I like to maximise turnout if conditions allow).

Needs to be great in traffic-although quiet lanes, we do have large tractors and noisy motorbikes.

Looking for a horse that walks out confidently on their own or in company and does not get strong or silly when in company or open spaces as I probably don’t bounce like I used to! Would like to pop the odd log and maybe go to the beach or leisure rides.

Good in the school would be nice if I wanted to do a bit of schooling/jumping, but not essential.

And of course, good to worm, shoes, catch, groom, tie up, dentist etc.

History mut be known. If you have outgrown your own heart horse and want to be confident of a loving home and low level activities, then please get in touch. I am on the edge of the Peak District.

Meet Arpege, a true professional with a golden temperament and a wealth of experience. With three expressive, uphill paces and a naturally balanced way of going, he is a joy to ride every day.

Having successfully evented up to 4* level in France, Arpége has seen and done it all. However, he’s now ready for a new chapter — one that allows him to channel his talent, elegance, and education into pure dressage, where he truly shines.

This is not a sale through injury. Arpege loves his work and enjoys his jumping, but it’s clear his heart now lies in the dressage arena. Confidently established at Advanced Medium level, he has competed in big atmospheres and always carries himself with grace and presence.

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder

  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar

I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

  • Gentle Giant Dressage School Master.

Melman has been competing at BD Elementary(BD HALONA BUBBALICIOUS), training at home up to Advanced Medium with ease.

His main discipline is Dressage, but has done occasional jump/XC schooling which he has been genuine and fun. 

Melman is a true workhorse with a heart of gold. A gentle giant, he is trainable, sensible, and an absolute pleasure to be around. He has a fantastic attitude – not sharp, always willing – and is perfect for a rider looking for a reliable, well-mannered, and established horse.

He hacks confidently alone or in company, is polished at home, and performs consistently in the competition arena. He has also enjoyed some jump schooling and cross-country.

We are much more amateur dressage riders than he is used to and his teaching us the ropes! 

Important note: Melman makes a noise in his wind and is therefore not suited for hunting or sustained fast work. He has, however, passed a full 5-stage vetting for general riding and dressage, which is fully reflected in his value.

Despite this, he remains a fantastic, versatile, and well-established dressage horse, ideal for a rider seeking a safe, trainable, and genuinely enjoyable partner.

Serious inquiries only – a horse like Melman is very hard to find.

PRICE REDUCED TO SEE HIM MOVE ON QUICKLY!

Winston has been with his current family 2 1/2 years, he was bought for an inexperienced 12 year old girl and has spent the past two years doing all PC with the Woodland hunt pony club, including 2 camps. He would be ideal for a keen teen coming off ponies who wants to show jump, hunt, arena event etc.

Competing Unaff SJ to 90cm and has done a couple of NSEA shows. Owner hasn’t been the most competitive so he has no BS points but has 148 Irish points in classes up to 1.20cm. Winston is a well schooled ride who goes very well on the flat, good lateral work and changes established. He’s a lot of fun to ride and would best suit a slightly older teen or adult, he is a forgiving ride, takes a miss but can be a little looky (but locks on and jumps!) so needs a rider that just tells him to get on with it and gives him a bit of confidence. Perfect type for kid coming off ponies BS. He’s done everything here at low level, enjoys arena eventing but has limited XC experience ( current owner not really interested ) so if you wanted to take him eventing you would need to build up from basics. Winston loves his hunting and has been out frequently for the past two seasons with the RMA sandhurst drag which has been his owners favourite thing. He’s always polite and well mannered and has really looked after his rider.

He’s a really nice genuine horse who hacks alone and in company very well, excellent in traffic. He’s very simple to have on the yard, good to box, catch, shoe, perfect to clip etc. he’s happy to live in or out and is easy going. Never lame, sick or sorry.

Sad sale as mum can’t justify a giant grey pet! Full wardrobe available by negotiation
