A real needle in a haystack type - kind , classy, laid back , experienced , capable , versatile …. You get the general idea …… Meet ‘Lance’

17.1hh, 9yo gelding - Oldenburg X Irish Sports
No lumps / bumps / nor vices

Lance is the kindest around , I’d challenge anyone to find mean easier horse to have around. There’s nothing at all I’d change about him which is a rather bold statement from me! Really loving and affectionate - thrives off any attention. Lives in or out. Perfect to catch , box , load , travel , clip , shoe , bath , tack up etc
A genuinely lovely person who is easy and reliable for any member of the family to see to

Push button and rather beautiful on the flat. Always snaffle mouthed and a leg on kind of ride. Easy to make the rider look pretty , natural self carriage in a beautiful shape. Obedient up and down the transitions. If you like the collected ‘rocking horse’ type canter then you’ll be in love with this chap!! Has done many dressage tests up to BE100

No one trick pony , not only has he evented , he’s also show jumped to newcomers (1m10) as well as plenty of unaffiliated shows with a current owner ranging from 70cm - 90cm. He really is extremely versatile. Very sane and steady to a fence , extremely rideable and very brave. Really knows his job well

Well hunted and enjoys team chasing. Hoping to get out on the field on him myself very shortly. Last year enjoyed plenty of fun rides and beach rides and was his perfect self

Hacks out very well alone and in company. Very uncomplicated! Hacks down our 60mph main road with very inconsiderate drivers and heavy traffic without batting an eyelid. Exceptionally mannerly in open spaces

Recently shod, up to date with worming, clipped, shining and in gleaming condition with no health issues

Currently ridden by myself and used as a lesson horse for my apprentice twice a week (relatively novice)

Genuine reason for sale and comes with a beautiful Pessoa saddle

Personally, I don’t think Lance is an out and out jumper. I think he’d do a beautiful job for a keen teen needing a helping hand , an adult looking for a true all rounder / competitive riding club horse , someone wanting to hunt etc … he’d suit a range of people and so a range of different jobs.

Beautiful Mare

  • Good groundwork & flatwork
  • All round potential

Lily is an mature mare with plenty still to offer. She is a sweet, genuine horse who has previously been a broodmare and has been coming back into work over the last year. She is a beautiful, well-put-together 15.1hh mare. She is been ridden by two competent 17-year-olds and has shown potential in everything she done. She's good with traffic and large farm machinery.

She also has good manners on the ground, enjoys her groundwork, she loads, stands quietly for the farrier, and is regularly handled and ridden on a busy working farm. She will happily come in from the field on her own, and can be ridden in the school or out hacking, sometimes she may plant at certain points when leaving her field mates, but this is manageable and does not detract from her overall willingness.

On the flat, she produces a lovely, natural shape with a soft snaffle mouth and three balanced paces. She is showing real promise in her schooling, with a naturally rhythmical way of going and a good attitude. Her movement is correct and attractive, and she will only improve further with continued work and strength-building. She enjoys jumping, always try's her best, however sometimes needs an extra squeeze for reassurance, she is not strong to a fence, with a snaffled mouth.

She will live in or out. She has had two foals in the past and was ridden before breeding, since she has been bought back into work she has made good progress. She currently lives out 24/7 in a mixed herd of geldings and mares. She likes her personal space and will politely tell other horses to move if needed, but settles well within a herd environment.

Lily would suit a experienced and capable teen or adult rider, looking to enjoy continuing to bringing her on and developing her potential, as she is a intelligent mare and can take advantage of a rider who lacks knowledge or confidence with the occasional nap. She is good to handle, good with dogs, used to livestock, having lived with sheep and seen cows and pigs. Confident and calm when travelling on a lorry, having attended a local show with other horses, and good with farrier, dentist & vet.

Fred has been the most super first horse for a confident amateur to learn the ropes on.

He is a fabulous stamp a true leg in each corner weight carrying type. He has never been lame sick or sorry and has turned his hoof to a variety of disciplines.

Fred was bought from a riding school where he was a used for more advanced riders and hacking. Prior to this he was in a hunting home.

Fred has enjoyed a varied life of hacking, dressage and jumping. He has done a good few unaffiliated prelim tests and always tries his best, he is a very accurate horse. He has also done plenty of unaffiliated showjumping jumping around courses of 70/80cm. He really loves his jumping and will jump all fillers planks etc. He takes you into a fence and is forgiving on a miss stride.

Fred has been good to hack, he hacks alone and in company. He is good in traffic and open spaces. He is also happy to pop over some cross-country fences and is a really fun ride. He has done a couple of fun rides from the yard to the pub etc.

Fred is good to do on the ground, catch, clip, shoe, load etc. He has a lovely nature, he is never nasty, enjoys all the fuss and attention. He is a good doer and is happy to be turned out individually or as part of a herd.

Fred is looking for his new home due to his owner wanting to now go on and jump bigger tracks affiliated, so this is a sad sale on behalf of a client.

Ideally Fred is looking for someone to carry on having lots of fun, he wouldn’t be for a nervous/ complete novice rider as he is not a kick along, however he is not a hot sharp horse.

Price reflects importance of home.

This lovely horse switched from BE to BD in the summer 2025, immediately gaining regional and national qualifications at elementary level.

He has only switched to dressage as this is what he loves and no longer enjoys the XC aspect of eventing.

He has been owned by the same family over the last 8 years & produced & competed by both daughters from their early teens who have trained all the way through with first Ian Woodhead and for the last 5 years Tracy Woodhead

He has correct elastic paces, straight uphill movement is currently training at AM and has started learning canter pirouettes.

Simba has a loving affectionate personality & adores attention. He is easy to handle & used to travelling long distances & staying away. He is happy on his own or with a full lorry.

Simba adores hacking both alone & in company.

The decision to lease Simba has not been easy. He is utterly loved adored & wanted but we need to do what is best for him. We are an eventing family & his 16 year old rider is in her first year of A levels & has 4 Eventers to compete in the upcoming season. She simply doesn’t have time to do him justice at the moment & he deserves to be somebody’s number 1.

We will only consider leasing him to an experienced 5* home & the right rider. He is a gentle soul & will be best suited to a quiet competitive rider who will love & enjoy him but doesn’t have the finances to purchase a horse like this.

Robby is a 16.2hh heavyweight hunter, a smart black gelding foaled in 2008. He has been one of our much-loved and extremely popular hirelings for many years. However, due to a very wet season, cancelled meets and a number of younger horses waiting to come through, we have taken the decision to reduce numbers and find suitable homes for some of our older horses who would appreciate a slightly quieter life.

Robby is very well schooled on the flat and has been shown in the past. He is the definition of a seasoned hunter who knows his job inside out. He is excellent with hounds, will stand on point, open and shut gates, and is happy to peel off and hack home alone at the end of the day. He will jump absolutely anything you point him at without question.

During the summer months our hirelings attend numerous fun rides and regular beach rides, all of which Robby thoroughly enjoys. He is a genuine, kind horse who has taught many people how to ride and has given countless riders their first, very enjoyable hunting experience. He would suit a wide range of riders.

Robby does require some TLC and benefits from front pads and a little bute on a day’s hunting. This winter he had his coffin joint injected, to which he responded very well.

He is a true gentleman with absolutely no vices or quirks, and he hacks out alone without issue. A very valuable and reliable asset to any yard. Filled shod, Clipped, fit and in work.

Very sadly for sale due to a move to the city and changes in our work/study commitments.

Magic has successfully evented up to BE Intermediate and won at 2* with previous owner. We bought Magic 3 yrs ago as a schoolmaster for my then 14yr old daughter stepping up from her 14.1hh Connie. Within their first year together he took her from her 2nd ever unaffiliated 90cm ODE to back-to-back wins at BE100 and reserve champion in the Schools Equestrian Games (SEG) 100cm National Championships at Dauntsey. They also picked up plenty of ribbons and numerous double clears along the way in UA eventing, Cotswold Cup, Pony Club, SJ, dressage, arena eventing, combined trainings etc. He has attended lots of BE and Pony Club clinics/trainings, always behaving beautifully, and has even passed his GCSE PE equestrian practical twice with flying colours!

After a quiet year due to exams/moving etc, he is absolutely not ready to stop going out to parties and is now looking for a new jockey to go out and have fun with, but at the lower levels (<100cm). While we consider him a schoolmaster and he will definitely take a miss, he is still a well-trained event horse and would not suit a complete novice. As he is 17 and means the world to everyone who has owned him, we are looking for a 5* experienced, knowledgable and loving home for life. References will be requested.

- Would suit a competent teen or small adult, or mother/daughter share
- Easy to do and a complete darling in and around the stable, loves cuddles
- Fabulous to hack, good alone or in company
- Currently at livery on a farm and unfazed by farm machinery, sheep, cows, dogs etc
- Easy at shows/camps including stayaways, happy to be left on the trailer/box
- Good to load, clip, shoe etc and up to date with vaccines/worming/dentist etc
- Full history known (3 owners including us since he was 5, and in regular contact with all)
- Incurred a tendon injury in 2021 but has regularly competing at BE100+ since then.

Good As Gold (Rhea)
16.1hh | 14-year-old AES Schoolmistress Mare

Rhea is a truly exceptional, high-quality schoolmistress offering talent, temperament and versatility in equal measure. An ideal choice for a discerning amateur, a teenager stepping up the levels, or a mother–daughter share seeking a genuine, confidence-giving partner.

She is a beautifully bred mare by Alex H x Daggers Drawn xx Shalford and possesses the kindest, most genuine nature. Rhea is entirely uncomplicated and mannerly, with no mareish behaviour. She is impeccable to handle: easy to catch, clip, shoe and manage, and is equally happy stabled alone or in company. She loads and travels faultlessly, both alone and with others, and will stand quietly on the lorry or trailer — quite literally good as gold.

On the flat, Rhea offers three correct, balanced and uphill paces, giving a polished and comfortable feel. She has a proven and established dressage record, having competed successfully up to Medium level, achieving scores of up to 65%. She holds British Dressage points at Prelim, Novice and Medium, has competed at Elementary Area Festivals, and has represented at Summer Regionals at Novice level, demonstrating her consistency and trainability.

Rhea is an equally impressive and confidence-inspiring jumper. She has a rhythmic, adjustable canter and a careful, correct technique, always remaining balanced and rideable. She is brave and honest, never saying no, and recently took a nervous rider comfortably around a 1.05m course. She happily jumps fillers, water trays and unfamiliar fences with ease. She has competed in unaffiliated show jumping and has also jumped BS on a ticket. She currently has no BS points, making her an excellent opportunity for someone seeking a genuine, competitive no-points horse who is proven to deliver a reliable round.

She has competed consistently in previous homes around 1m unaffiliated show jumping, with scope to go higher, and comes with glowing references from all previous homes — a true testament to her quality, rideability and kind nature.

She has a fantastic all-round record, having competed in unaffiliated eventing, hunter trials and arena eventing. Rhea has been out hunting and was super bold, happily jumping hedges and ditches, proving what a genuine and brave ride she is. She recently competed in Arena Eventing again with us, finishing with only time penalties after the rider unfortunately got lost on course.

Rhea hacks happily both alone and in company and is a pleasure to have in the yard. She is a versatile, talented and enjoyable mare with an exceptional amount to offer the right rider.

16.3hh ID (NR) Grey Gelding | 2018 |

If you’re looking for a horse with presence, personality, and a seriously impressive CV, Aslan might just steal your heart.

Ex Metropolitan Police Horse

Only available due to police redundancies, Aslan has been an active mounted police horse in London since 2021, receiving outstanding professional training and confidently taking part in all aspects of city work. Sirens, traffic, crowds, chaos… he’s seen it all and taken it in his stride.

He is now ready to swap city streets for country lanes and a loving 1:1 home, and he’s being sold through Smart Performance Horses on behalf of the MET. The level of training these horses receive is second to none, giving them an incredible foundation for their next chapter.

Allrounder / Pleasure / Riding Club / Hunt Prospect

Aslan is a lovely ride on the flat and, while he’s still building fitness, he always tries his heart out. He hacks beautifully (Our villages are far less scary than London!) and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He has had the very best of care throughout his life and it shows in his manners and outlook.

Before joining the police, Aslan hunted and did leisure activities, and we feel he would absolutely thrive returning to this kind of varied life. Riding club, hacking, pleasure riding, hunting, or just being someone’s pride and joy, he has the brain and experience to do it all.

Temperament & Handling

Lovely to be around, kind, sensible, and straightforward. A real gentleman on the ground and under saddle.

Vetting

Aslan has recently passed a full 5-stage vetting. He does have a possible cataract in one eye, which has never affected him during his years in the police or with us.

This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully trained, experienced gelding with a golden attitude and a fascinating past. Aslan is ready to become someone’s ultimate allrounder and best friend.

Serious enquiries only please. Homes will be vetted as carefully as he is being.
