Rosie is a lovely 8-year-old mare who has been carefully and lovingly produced by a talented teenage rider at her family’s stables since she was 4.

This is a very sad and emotional sale, purely because her rider is moving to London for her studies and sadly won’t have the time to give Rosie the attention she deserves. A loving 5⭐ home is an absolute must.

Rosie would suit a competitive teenager, mother/daughter share or someone who just wants to get out and have fun. She’s a really genuine, kind mare who always tries her best and loves her job.

She has perfect manners and is easy to do in every way – loading, travelling, grooming, lunging, catching, you name it. She’s happy hacking alone, both on and off road, isn’t marish at all and gets along well with both mares and geldings. She also loves a cuddle!

Rosie could do pretty much any discipline, but jumping and cross-country are definitely her favourite things. She has three nice paces and would produce a lovely dressage test and has the ability to be competitive in this too.

During the time Rosie has been with us, she’s never stopped at a fence. Whether she’s close, far away, coming in fast or slow, if she can jump it, she will! She’s incredibly honest and always looks after her rider.

She’s been out doing open courses, dressage tests and XC schooling. She’s loved it all and done everything really well! Unfortunately, due to her rider’s commitments with studies, she hasn’t been out competing as much as we’d have liked. However, through no fault of her own. She's got plenty of ability and with the right rider, we believe she could easily be out doing BE100 by the middle of next season and potentially more with the right rider.

In the four years we’ve owned Rosie, she’s never had a lame day or injuries.

Rosie really is a special mare, and we would love to see her go to someone who will love and enjoy her as much as we have. ❤️

• Great jump and such a fun little horse.
• Easy to keep

Dolly has been a great teenagers horse. She has recently qualified for trailblazers on her first outing to try and do this!! This is the 70's and 80's.

She takes you to a fence and is a great forward ride over a jump, jumps fillers and scary fences.

She schools in an outline and does lateral work.

Hacks out in large groups and alone she can be spooky and needs encouragement.

Would hunt all day long and great with all hunt jumps and situations. Has been out with the farmers bloodhounds.

This girl is any teenagers dream horse she is fun and enjoys all spheres.

She is a great fun little horse for someone, this little mare try’s her hardest.

This is a sale that is due to the owners mental health, will be discussed further.

New Hope I

8yo

Cicero Z van paemel x Unitair (Voltaire)

Hope is looking for a new home through no fault of her own.

She has jumped multiple 1.15 clears and a handful of 1.20s. She would be a super bronze/ silver league horse for someone and is also still in newcomers.

Hope works beautifully on the flat with 3 rhythmical paces. She has auto changes when jumping and is starting to get the hang of changes on the flat.

Would be perfect for pure dressage.

She is forward but not strong.

She is polite and easy to deal with on the ground, goes out in the field, on the walker etc.

Ridden by a petite female.

She has a huge character and great personality.

Would make a super first horse for a competent teenager.

Good to hack on busy roads and open spaces, clip, shoe, load, travel etc.

Easy to clip and shoe.

I take him competing alone and never a bother.

Can do low level cross country and very bold

I’ve taken him showing, he has grabbed the judges attention and i feel like he could go far, not fussed by crowds .

• Absolutely No vices or issues, perfect manners.
• Very bold, flashy, trainable, level headed and willing - never stops!

Fulwood Flamboyant (aka Tilly). Readvertised due to a time-waster.

An Exceptional All-Rounder of Rare Quality, Proven Experience, and Absolute Integrity is a superb example of a well-bred Irish Draught x Thoroughbred mare (King of Diamonds lineage), standing at 16.1hh and offering the kind of quality, temperament, and education that is increasingly difficult to find. This mare is ready to transition a serious young rider from ponies to horses, winning constantly along the way!"

At 16 years old, she is in her prime, a polished, experienced horse who has been thoughtfully and patiently produced, never overfaced or overworked. She represents the finished article: a genuine, confidence-giving partner with the ability to excel across disciplines.

With an established competition record including EGB, BSJA, and BRC, Tilly has proven herself time and again. She is a consistent performer, regularly finishing in the ribbons, comfortably jumping 90cm–1m, with bold, intelligent cross-country ability and correct, expressive flatwork established to Novice level, including lateral work and extensions.

What truly sets Tilly apart is her temperament. She is exceptionally genuine, a mare who instils confidence and allows her rider to perform at their best. She is straightforward, balanced, and beautifully rideable, with a naturally rhythmical canter and an instinctive ability to meet a fence correctly. She never stops, runs out, or shys. She is never strong, yet offers presence, power, and responsiveness when asked.

She is not a horse for a Novice rider as she is well schooled, however, she is kind to any rider and will look after a young person going onto horses or a mature rider getting back into horses.

She is equally exemplary in her handling. Impeccably mannered, with no vices whatsoever and no digestive issues. She is easy in every respect to catch, handle, travel, hack, and manage. She hacks alone or in company with complete reliability and remains composed in all environments. She is unflappable, level-headed, and entirely trustworthy.

Tilly has lived with me since she was six months old and has been produced with care, knowledge, and respect. Horses of this calibre, safe, sane, educated, and genuinely kind, are the result of years of investment, consistency, and horsemanship.

She would be ideally suited to a discerning amateur, a riding club competitor, or a mother/daughter partnership seeking a safe yet capable horse who can deliver results while offering complete peace of mind.

This is an extremely reluctant sale due to my ongoing cancer treatment, and as such, her future home is of the utmost importance and is more important than the price. I owe it to her to find yhe right forever home.

I have two others, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep them fit, especially with the winter a few months away, therefore, she now needs to go to someone who can get the joy and success out of her. I am now looking for a genuine quick sale due to further up coming cancer treatment, not for any fault of hers.

She deserves a knowledgeable, appreciative owner and a kind, private environment with equine companionship.

Tilly is a complete, ready-made partner for someone who understands true quality; she represents exceptional value.

She can be viewed and ridden on the flat, as well as over show jumps and XC fences, by appointment at the local Equestrian Centre.

However, serious enquiries only. No more time wasters, please.

• For pony club, dressage, showjumping and local showing
• Kind, sensible and super temperament
• Well schooled with correct paces

Looking for 15.2hh (approx) well schooled, safe and sensible PC allrounder for my 13 year old daughter. Ideally aged 8 - 12 .

Proven to be suitable for a child/young teen for PC activities, SJ, dressage, showing and hacking. Must have a competition record (can be unaffiliated).

We aren’t looking for full Tb or cob and we aren’t looking for anything green/“with potential”. Ideal horse would be one who is a much loved member of the family who has been in the same home for at least two years and has now been outgrown (either height or ability wise) and who hasn’t yet been advertised.

We can offer a kind and experienced long term home (possibly permanent - younger siblings). Small yard with our other ponies, all year turnout, excellent facilities, care and instruction, with a varied life and lots of love and attention from my three pony mad daughters.

We are looking for a special little horse and have the right budget to reflect this.

⭐ SAFI – A VERY SPECIAL MARE – 5-STAR HOME ONLY ⭐

This is an incredibly difficult advert to write as Safi is a very special mare who means the absolute world to me.

I have produced Safi myself since I was just 12 years old. When we bought her from a private lady, I had only just come out of riding school and was still learning and developing as a rider. Safi has taught me so much over the years and has helped shape me into the rider I am today. She really has been an incredibly special part of my journey.

Safi has an amazing side to her and is known to be fantastic with children. She has done plenty of bareback jumping and tackless work, showing the trust and bond she can build with her rider.

However, please don't mistake her kind nature for being a novice ride. Safi is not a straightforward horse and needs a confident, experienced and competent rider who knows what they are doing. Without the right rider, she can nap out hacking, so she needs someone who can give her the confidence, guidance and consistency she requires.

A few things to be aware of:

Has previously suffered from seasonal ulcers, which are very easy to treat.

Has previously had her hocks injected but no longer requires this.

Has a non-progressive cataract in her right eye, which does not affect her.

Comes with a full wardrobe.

Safi has given me so much over the years, and finding her the right home is my absolute priority. I am not looking to sell her to just anyone. She deserves someone who will understand her, appreciate her and give her the same love and dedication she has given me.

❤️ 5-STAR HOMES ONLY. The right home is more important than anything else. Experienced and knowledgeable homes only, please.

I believe she could easily progress through the levels, with a kind, sane and sensible brain to match her ability.

She has competed up to 1.20m and has been in an amateur home with a petite female rider who competed her up to 1.15m. She would make a fantastic Bronze League prospect for someone enjoying jumping at 1.10–1.15m, while being equally happy to step down and enjoy a more varied lifestyle.

Emmy is always ridden in a snaffle, whether schooling, hacking or jumping at home and in the ring. She enjoys her work, has a willing attitude and is a pleasure to ride and handle.

Kind, relaxed and unmareish, she would also suit a home wanting to enjoy schooling, jumping, hacking and outings alongside having a much-loved best friend. She could be a lovely prospect for Pony Club, NSEA or a mother-daughter share.

✅ Hacks alone and in company

Her pedigree adds further appeal. By I’m Special de Muze and out of the Fedor mare Olfyr, her dam has produced two 1.50m jumpers alongside offspring competing at 1.35m and 1.20m. With Emerald, Diamant de Semilly and Darco also featuring in her breeding, she could be an attractive addition to a future breeding programme.

Having now become established at the 2* level Arthur has now learned his craft and is ready to crack on with his eventing career. He will go intermediate in the spring and aim for a 3*L in the summer.

He’s got a super careful jump and is a genuine horse across country. He loves his work but has shown he’s not quite brave enough at novice level.

He’s good enough in the flat to be competitive at Badminton grassroots or U18s, he’d also be a fab pony club horse and would qualify for championships across all disciplines.  Is currently doing PC/NSEA with a 16yo girl.

A very sad sale of a much loved horse, sadly finances mean I can’t keep him just to enjoy myself.
