Hugo is a complete gentleman. He would make a fantastic all rounder or fun competition horse for a teenager or RC rider type. Equally he is incredibly smart and would continue to flourish in his showing career or in dressage. He has also hunted and would love to continue to do this and would be awesome doing xc competitively.

Hugo has competed to 1m as well, including workers which has infamously spooky jumps! He loves his job and is forward thinking to a fence and loves his job but is still polite and correct.

He hacks out on his own and in company. Lives in or out and is very easy to do everything with.

Clean and correct with no vetting concerns or history.

16.1hh | 13yo Mare | Sport Horse GB | By Royaldik

Rosie is a talented and experienced Novice / 2* event mare with numerous placings and consistent double clears throughout her career. She is a genuine, competitive horse who would be ideally suited to a competent and ambitious U18 or junior rider looking to gain experience at Novice level and aim for U18 champs.

Owned since a 2-year-old, Rosie has been carefully produced by a competent amateur rider and had been established and competitive at Novice level for the last few seasons.

Rosie is consistent at Novice level and has the experience to take a junior rider around their first Novices, she is exceptionally honest and genuine across country, and is quick-thinking, bold and very clever with her feet. She is very easy to ride through technical combinations, skinnies and corners, always looking for the flags and helping her rider out when needed. Her ability to adjust and sort herself out would make her a fantastic partner for a good under 18 jockey.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved horse, only due to lack of time to give her the opportunities she deserves. Rosie thrives in a competitive environment and would make a fantastic partner for a rider wanting to learn the ropes at Novice / 2*. She has also taken part in lots of activities alongside her eventing such as camps, beach rides and teamchasing. She is great to take out and about on her own or with another horse and hacks out alone, in company or riding and leading. Good to clip, box and shoe etc.

She will only be sold to the very best of homes, where she can continue doing the job she loves.

Lots and lots of photos and videos available on request.

Cooley Cash is ready for the 26 season. Professionally produced through young horse classes, he qualified for Osberton and was short listed for the World Championships at Le Lion. Recently he has been campaigning at 2 and 3* levels across Europe with a young rider.

An intelligent and forgiving ride, he would be ideally suited to entry level international competition. Jumping classes such as the morning classes at the Global Champions Tour or the American hunter ring, while also having the quality and experience to continue progressing in eventing.

Cashew is a naturally forward thinking horse; when on track he makes positive decisions and actively looks for the next fence. Loads of scope and presence, with a level canter he is a total pleasure to ride and compete.

He has all the talent to either move up the grades further into advanced or would happily drop back with a more inexperienced rider.

Previously passed a full vetting with a complete set of 50 plus X-rays.

Excellent trial facilities available as well as airport collection. International shipping can be arranged.

Madonna is a beautifully marked 13-year-old mare standing approximately 15.2–15.3hh.

She would definitely suite a competitive home that will start cracking on and getting out and about with her!
She has the brain and ability to make a fantastic partner for someone stepping up from ponies to horses.

Madonna is a real schoolmistress type who knows her job and is ready to give someone confidence and mileage.

  • Established at Advanced Medium
  • Confident performer

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.

He would be the ideal partner for a rider who wants to learn the movements, build confidence, and gain competition experience on a horse who is both talented and kind. Whether you’re aiming to move up the levels or simply want to enjoy the feel of a well-schooled, generous horse, Arpége is the perfect teacher.

A very sad sale of a much-loved horse, so only the best 5* home will be considered.

Open to full vetting.

A true gentleman ready to share his wisdom and begin a new chapter in the dressage arena.

  • Competed successfully in British Dressage up to Medium level
  • Evented to BE Novice as a 5 & 6 year old

Attractive, well-schooled Irish Sports Horse with a genuine competition background looking for a new home due to a change in rider circumstances.

Previously evented to BE Novice as a 5 & 6 year old, before going on to compete successfully in British Dressage up to Medium level. With me he has been enjoying a quieter lifestyle doing Riding Club activities and plenty of hacking.

He is a very smart, eye-catching horse who would suit someone wanting a quality hack, Riding Club horse or showing prospect, and he would also make an excellent escort horse out with children.

He hacks confidently alone or in company and is well-schooled with a lovely way of going.

Approved for Riding Club Prelim competition for 2026.

Easy to manage
• Good to shoe, clip, load and travel
• Travels well (currently in an EquiTrek)
• Good to handle and straightforward on the yard
• Vaccinations and teeth up to date

He sustained a tendon injury in early 2025. There are no visible blemishes or splints and full veterinary records are available.

He can weave at feed time or when stressed, which is easily managed with a V-grill on the stable door.

He is a lovely ride with plenty of quality, but as a former competition horse he can have the occasional sharp moment, so he is not suitable for a novice rider.

This is a very sad sale as a health issue now prevents me from riding and he is far too young and talented to be wasted in the field.

Gorgeous 16.2 mare. We bought her for my daughter after a few negative experiences with a green horse to build her confidence, which she has done and more.

She has competed at PC nationals in show jumping and ODE, came third as part of a team at Hickstead in the 1m arena eventing. She has brought home so many ribbons and virtually guarantees my daughter a clear round every time. It has been so much fun and we can’t wait for her next jockey to be as successful on her.

She is a dream and we are only selling because said daughter has the pressure of A-levels and not enough time for her horse.

Will stand quietly while you plait, clip or for the farrier. Good to load. Teeth and vaccinations up to date.

My daughter takes Willow hunting where she behaves impeccably and will keep going all day. She hacks out alone or in company and has never been “marish”.

She really is one in a million and if you’re looking for a safe, fun, capable and careful mount Willow you search is over!

Morris (Tremadoc)
16.3hh Dark Bay Gelding | 2011 | Grand Prix Schoolmaster

Morris is a 16.3hh dark bay gelding bred at the well-known Preci-Spark Stud in Leicestershire by the stallion Miners Lamp. He has been produced and competed by the same rider since the age of five, progressing from Prelim all the way through to Grand Prix, enjoying a long and successful career along the way.

Together we have had numerous wins and placings throughout the levels and many memorable highlights. Morris has competed extensively at the Petplan Area Festivals, including winning the Elementary Bronze Final at Hartpury and finishing 2nd in the PSG Silver Final at Arena UK. He has also been placed at PSG Gold and Inter I Regionals, narrowly missing qualification for the Nationals on both occasions, and has competed successfully at Premier League and High Profile shows at PSG and Inter I level.

In addition to his career with me, Morris has also been successfully ridden by lighter riders. He has been competed by my wife, a petite lady rider, who qualified for and competed at the Medium Gold Regionals, finishing in the top 10, and more recently he has also been ridden and competed by one of my students, also a petite lady rider. This demonstrates his genuine rideability and willingness to work with different riders.

Morris has an outstanding temperament and is exceptionally easy to manage in every way. He is a pleasure to have on the yard, straightforward to handle and a genuine favourite. He loads and travels happily (often walking onto the lorry himself), stands quietly to be clipped, and is relaxed and enjoyable to hack both alone and in company.

Although extremely sensible and safe, Morris is not a completely push-button ride in the arena and can sometimes be tricky to get fully on the bit. For this reason he would be best suited to a junior, young rider or knowledgeable amateur with good feel who would enjoy learning from a horse trained to the highest level.

Morris is a very special horse who has given us an incredible journey from young horse to Grand Prix and now deserves to continue his career with someone who will appreciate his experience and generous character.

Real Touch by Touchdown, stable name Arty.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that Arty is offered for sale due to his owner’s ongoing health issues. This is a truly sad and reluctant decision, and finding him the right home is of the utmost importance.

Arty is a striking 17hh Irish Sports Horse who has been there, seen it and got the T-shirt. He is a genuine, established schoolmaster with a wealth of experience and a kind, giving nature. He has been in consistent work and is fit and ready to continue enjoying an active life.

On the flat, Arty is well schooled with correct, established paces and consistently produces pleasing dressage scores. He works in a soft, balanced outline and understands his job well, making him a confidence-giver for someone wanting to progress.

He absolutely adores his jumping, whether that’s coloured poles, cross country or fun rides. He is bold and genuine to a fence and enjoys his work, always taking his rider confidently to a jump.

Hacking-wise, he is a pleasure. He will happily go alone or in company and is sensible and mannerly out and about. On the ground he is lovely to handle, polite, and easy to do in all ways.

Arty would suit a confident rider looking for a true schoolmaster to learn from and enjoy. He will look after his rider, but as a sensitive type he does appreciate reassurance at times, so would benefit from someone calm and assured.

Arty is good to load and currently travels happily in a trailer, both alone and in company. He has also previously travelled in horseboxes without issue. He stands well for the farrier and is easy to do with his feet. He is also good to bath and stands quietly at the wash off area.

This is a special horse looking for a knowledgeable, loving home where he can continue to feel valued and enjoyed.

Serious enquiries only please, this is a heartbreaking sale of a much-loved horse.

£5,500 but would inc all tack and some rugs for £6,000 (GP & DR saddles)
