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

Spectacular Novice/2* schoolmaster with potential for 3/4* future

  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 17 hands
  • 2nd Tetworth IN 2026
  • Wins at Medium Dressage
  • Double clears up to Foxhunters

Khan - Spectacular event horse who would be equally well suited to an amateur wanting a Novice/2* superstar schoolmaster as to someone wanting to progress through 3 and 4*.

Flashest of dressage horses, regularly leading from the front with dressage marks as low as 22. Khan has been winning at Medium level dressage this winter, thus lining him up to be a great Championship horse for a keen U18/U21, or Asian Games type buyers.

He matured into his tall body last year, and finds Novice eventing tracks a walk in the park. Though I had a season riddled with injuries, so he only did few BE competitions, and was very competitive in those few runs- starting the season on a 28 DC at Burnham Market, stepping up to Intermediate competitively, and finishing with a 2nd at Tetworth IN. He will be ready to be competitive at 3* this year, for someone wanting to progress, and my plan with him would be to aim at Blenheim 8/9 yr olds.

Khan is out and out one of the best xc horses I’ve had the pleasure of riding! He was ready to go Advanced xc as a 6 yr old- he’s always been one to seek out a skinny and stay on a line. I’ve had him since a raw 4 year old, and I don’t think he’s ever stopped at a fence in the entire 5 years I’ve had him!

Khan has jumped double clears up to BS Foxhunters level, though mostly on a ticket, so is still eligible for the lower classes. He has an incredible forearm which will always get you out of trouble, and a very easy way about his scope- smooth and effortless, so doesn’t throw you in the air like some! He makes 1.39/1.40 fences seem inconsequential!

Khan is simply the kindest big horse you could dream of. He is regularly schooled by my 5’3 teenage groom, and would never dream of being strong or pushing you about. Snaffle mouth in all 3 phases.

He is the most pleasurable of horses to have in every way- always looking for affection and great to hack, handle and travel.

Khan will only go to a very special home who will appreciate his outstanding nature- whether that be to a pro or a competitive amateur, he is everybody’s favourite horse!

Good set of X-rays as 6 yr old, and open to vet. Sound and ready to start his season.

Meet Maisy!
The ultimate safe allrounder

She is a stunning 16.3h Irish draft X warmblood , rising 15 but has been low mileage so brain of a 15 yr old but body of an 10 year old fit and ready to go and enjoy the season!

She is the definition of an allrounder , out to BD shows consistently scores at prelim and novice and has done her first elementary successfully. I’ve mainly focused on dressage for the past 2 years , where she has competed at multiple championships, trailblazers in the top 10 in all her classes, petplan Area festivals 6th out of 46, and went to the Petplan winter champion ship at the Nationals where she took this all in her stride but has an amazing jump , pop round a course with ease and she loves grid work! I’ve only jumped her 90cm just as jumping isn’t my interest and she loves fun rides| cross country ( a regular round somerford!)

She has an absolute heart of gold , her manners are impeccable! You could leave her door open 24 7 and she won’t come out, loads like a dream with a trailer, 3.5,7.5 box and stands all day at the show on her own to be tacked up! My 7 year old brother has road her a lot and she’s such a gentle giant good as gold with him, he’s hacked her all through roads, cantered in feilds! She is also amazing with farm machinery never thinks twice about it!

It’s going to be heart breaking sale she has taught me so much and we have grown together but i think I’m ready for the next chapter but her home is most important as she is an absolute princess and deserves a 10 star home.I’m no absolutely no rush to sell as am getting my elementary/ novice scores for the areas but i thought id buy an add up to see if the right home pops up that would be suitable for her!

  • Been there done it type
  • Beautiful mover
  • Easy to do in all ways on the ground

A good allrounder for an experienced home with either a confident and capable older child (third pony type) or smaller adult.
Bubbles is a been there, done it type. He has spent time in Pony Club homes and done significant hacking in the past. He has a friendly and loving personality and still happy to learn new things. He may have advanced years but this hasn't dulled his brain at all and makes us smile every day.

On the ground, Bubbles is generally easy to do. Excellent to catch and comes to call, will stand nicely for grooming, tacking up, farrier, vet, and clipping. He loves his stable but will turn out nicely in a herd or individually.

He will school nicely on the flat, and has been out to Dressage competitions where he consistently scored in the 60’s. He is a very capable and confident jumper, but because of his age he now better kept to lower heights. In his current home he has become excited out hacking and would benefit from calm, consistent, experienced riding to make this more routine and less of an event. He has however ridden quietly on his own around the farm tracks of his current home.

Bubbles can try his luck either by becoming strong or through evasions. He can have the odd spook and buck hence why he is not suitable for a novice. Unfortunately, his young rider isn't confident and experienced enough to manage when he does the push at the boundaries. With an experienced rider he accepts guidance and will produce some nice work under saddle.

Due to not going out much he can be problematic to load in a trailer. He was bought as an easy loader/traveller so we believe this wouldn't take much practice to improve.

Bubbles had his saddle and back checked in the last year. He is up to date with vaccinations, worming, and teeth. He had his hocks injected in November, and we are happy to provide full medical history and X-rays from his previous vetting to interested parties.

A much-loved 16hh ISH black mare, 13 years old, owned by us for the past 3 years. Thelma was originally purchased for our very tall 12-year-old (now 15) and has been a genuine, kind partner throughout her time with us.

She has been kept at a professional competition livery yard and previously had one long-term home, where she was ridden and competed by an amateur adult alongside a 5* event rider.

Thelma is well schooled on the flat and produces a lovely dressage test, showing real quality and consistency. She hacks out confidently both alone and in company, is excellent in traffic, and happily goes around roads and open fields. She has even been ridden out by our second, younger daughter (11).

She has previously enjoyed success as an eventer however we feel she would be far happier in a home who loves dressage and enjoys hacking. Potential for the show ring.

Thelma is a fun smiley character, who is looking for her next long-term home.

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder

  • 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.

Sunny has been an amazing first horse for my daughter but now they want different things and it’s time to find him someone new to love him.

He is safe hacking alone or in company, travels well in a box or trailer, perfect for the vet, farrier, physio and dentist, good at stay away shows an easy boy to have around.

We have attended PC events - twice going to the Regional Champs winning his dressage class last year, BS Academy and BE Youth training, RC Champs, as well as fun rides.

He had some sensitivity in his back so I had X-rays done which showed no issues, he is low milage for his age and has plenty left to give.

Has been out doing eventing at 80 and SJ 90.

A genuine sad sale.

The real deal Clydesdale gelding , 16yo, approx 16.3/17hh

‘Denzil’ has been in the same home the past 9 years and been an extremely valued and loved member of the family. He is only being sold due to other commitments and health issues leaving him without that time he really deserves.

Extremely good doer with no vices. He became the yard favourite from the very day he stepped into our yard. Loves affection, stands all day to be clipped , bathed , tacked up etc! Golden to catch and handle on the ground in all ways. Loads and travels perfectly. Lives in or out , very low maintenance.

Denzil has taught several people to ride however isn’t completely a ‘kick kick kick ‘ type. He loves being out and about and can be forward when enjoying himself. Always in a snaffle and totally safe and sane. Currently giving lessons to my 8 year old daughter and being adored here as one of our own

Works well in the school in all three paces. A nice leg in each corner type and anyone’s ride. Will pop logs and small fences etc. My yard girls are currently enjoying taking him on woodland rides and nannying our breakers out on the roads.

Superb in the heaviest of traffic , can be seen on our very busy 60mph main road without any bother!

Denzil has been well hunted , enjoyed many a fun ride, as well as riding club events and heaps of hacking and fun with his current owners.

Good with vet and dentist , up to date with everything with no previous health issues. Denzil does have mild sweet itch that can be easily managed.

Denzil is a very sought after type , a family home is desired where he can be a member of your family. Come and meet him and let him do the talking!

He will jump any filler or any plank water tray ect and you could miss him 100 times and he will still keep coming he’s a horse with a heart the size of him .

Jumps ditched / hedges out hunting and has potential to also be a top class hunter or large riding horse.

He has never done it before but Would also excel in eventing as he definitely is the stamp to do so.

Never lame sick or sorry. No lumps or bumps

The EASIEST horse to have on the yard and I don’t say this lightly. Perfect to clip shoe box ect and he’s around children/dogs/ general livestock and farm machinery daily

I live in a beautiful part of the South Downs and have decided after loaning for years to buy my own horse. I'm after an older, stocky boy with a gentle temperament and a bit of character who will enjoy the quieter life and enjoy hacking for miles on end.

I am a confident, relaxed rider having lived in the States for years and ridden western, who just loves the great outdoors.

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

“Bestie” – 17hh, 10yo Bay Mare by GrandSlam VDL

A stunning, talented and forward thinking mare with ample power and presence. Bestie combines quality, trainability, and a genuinely lovely temperament.

She has multiple British Dressage wins at Elementary and Novice level (118 points) and is currently training at Advanced Medium. Established in her lateral work (half pass, travers, leg yield and shoulder in) which she excels and enjoys. Showing a correct and controlled change, however still green as we have only recently introduced changes on the flat.

Bestie has introduced myself to BD and patiently teaching me more advanced movements. Even showing my 10year old niece leg yield.

Bestie has also competed successfully at BE Novice. Cross country, she is exceptionally brave and genuine, never questioning a fence and always giving complete confidence. She has multiple double clears at 100 and has the scope and ability to progress further up the levels. She goes off any stride, will take a miss and never holds a grudge. Would make an excellent Tetrathlon horse, as she’d happily take you round the toughest of tracks.

She is a pleasure to have on the yard; she hacks alone and in company and is unfazed by heavy machinery, having lived on a busy farm. She is never silly after time off, although she enjoys regular work. She travels well in both trailer and lorry and is a complete professional at shows, impeccably mannered.

Bestie is affectionate, kind and loves attention. She has never bucked, reared, or bolted.

Easy, fun and forward to ride, I always feel safe when I’m on her.
She doesn’t feel like a big horse to ride as she has a dreamy canter and easy to keep connected.

No novices as she’s a competition horse.
No loans or leases please.

No vices. Open to vetting.

Please no time wasters as this is a very sad sale of this much admired mare.

Please WhatsApp as my signal is awful.

Striking 2012 17hh grey gelding in search of his new best friend. By Carlos DZ (Holst) out of Polish WB.

Forward-thinking athletic horse who would be in his element as a confident teenager’s horse, amateur dressage/riding club horse or mother/daughter share.

Heartbreaking sale of much loved horse owned since a 5yo - sale only due to owner having a very young family and simply not enough time to do him justice.

Strong BD record at Prelim (78 points) and Novice level (84 points). Last outing was BD Winter National Championships in April 2022 placing 8th in Novice Silver FSM where rider was 5 months pregnant.

Turns heads and makes friends wherever he goes. Travels/loads beautifully and easy to take out on your own to shows or training sessions. Absolute cuddle monster and super cheerful soul - delight to have on the yard, nickname has always been “the Labrador”.

Great fun to hack whether by himself or in company. Has been away on hacking holidays and the beach. Previously evented up to BE90 but not jumped consistently since end of 2021 when owner fell pregnant.

Price reflects the fact he has not competed since 2022 due to owner’s two close pregnancies. Currently in work hacking/schooling 5 days per week.

Fully up to date with vaccinations, teeth, physio, saddle, shoeing etc. No expense spared in his management.

Plenty of further photos and videos on request.

Right home of utmost importance.
