Dream Horse


Ref #: 392492
  • He can do piaffe , passage and Spanish work
  • He has done loads of hacking over the past four years
£12,000
  • Andalusian
  • Grey
  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • He can do piaffe , passage and Spanish work
  • He has done loads of hacking over the past four years

After putting this off for over a year, we have now decided that Harry needs to find a new home.
He is a grey 14 year old. 15’2 Andalusian.

We got Harry from Spain five years ago, from a lovely stud where he was trained to do dressage. He did have a vetting when he left Spain and passed with flying colours.
He can do piaff , passage and Spanish work.
When you get him in the school, he goes absolutely beautiful, even if you do, just want to do walk, trot and canter.
When he came to England from Spain, my 70 year old grandmother was riding him hacking him and he was absolutely brilliant never put a foot wrong.
Would stand there for hours been bathed and groomed.
After a while, my grandmothers back started playing up, so he came to us where my mother started her journey on him.

He has done loads of hacking over the past four years. He has done pleasure rides been to the beach. Loads of forest rides done a couple of unaffiliated dressage competitions and he just excels at everything.
No matter what you do with Harry, he stays cool, calm and collected. He stands there at the horsebox or trailer for you to tuck him up and groom him and get him ready. He has impeccable manners
He is absolutely fantastic in traffic. We live in the countryside so we have lots of tractors and lorries and he never bats an eyelid even going past him on a tiny little road.
He is used to other horses and ponies.
He is currently living out at the moment, but he lives in or out he’s not fussed at all.
The only reason we are selling him is that he doesn’t do enough here, he gets hacked a couple times a week and we just feel like he’s completely wasted.
He’s a type of horse that you could ride every day and do lots of stuff with or you can leave him in the field for three months. Not touch him then just decide to tack him straight up and go out for a really lovely ride.

He’s has had children ride him, even my two-year-old little boy sits on him after he’s been ridden, and Harry just takes everything in his stride.
Harry has had no health issues with us, never a day lame.
He is currently barefoot at the moment, but when he is in work, we have him fully shod, but it doesn’t really make a difference to him.

He will stand for the farrier impeccably. He loads amazing there is just nothing this horse is bothered by.

He is just unfortunately wasted in the field with us due to my mothers ill health , only being ridden a couple of times a week and we know that he could be so much more than what he has at the moment.
We will only let this horse go to a really special home.
No novice riders, and please no time wasters as this has been a hard enough decision to make.
Please don’t hesitate to give me a call to ask any questions.
Five Star homes only for this incredible horse.

  • 16 years

  • A genuine, forward-going mare
  • Has jumped rounds up to 1.20

Wispa is a 16 year old turning 17 year old Connemara with loads of experience she has been there and done it all. She is a genuine, forward-going mare who loves her job and would suit a confident rider looking for a fun, capable partner.

She has competed in showjumping and has also done hunter trials, eventing and a variety of other activities. She is brave and bold to a fence with a super honest jump and always tries her best, has jumped rounds up to 1.20 and jumped 1.50 single fence and is bombproof.

Forward going in the ring and can be quirky out hacking at times, so not suitable for a novice rider. She would thrive with a confident teenager or small adult who enjoys a responsive ride.

In the school she is beautifully behaved, works in a natural outline she is a real schoolmistress type who knows her job. Wispa is a genuine versatile mare with plenty to offer. This is a difficult decision as shes been with us for the past 6 years.

  • Sport Horse

  • 12 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Recent results at 1.20m
  • confidence giving schoolmaster
  • Machine xc

Elvis is a true competition schoolmaster with an impressive record and a huge amount of experience to offer. Bred by Michael Whitaker, he has successfully competed up to 1.20m, consistently producing confident, clear rounds – including a double clear at 1.20m just last week.

Bold, careful, and experienced, Elvis knows his job inside out. He is a forward, fun, and competitive ride who thrives in the ring and would suit a competent amateur or junior looking to step up with a genuine, well-produced partner.

Across country, Elvis is an absolute machine – bold, brave, and clever, making him ideal for team chasing or someone wanting a horse that loves to get out and have fun.

He is good to do in all ways – easy to handle, catch, shoe, load, clip, and travel. He has a superficial scar on his torso from a youthful scrape, purely cosmetic and with no effect on his performance or soundness.

Elvis is a kind, talented schoolmaster who’s still very much in his prime. He’s ready to give his next rider all the confidence, experience, and enjoyment they could wish for – whether in the showjumping ring, out eventing, or flying fences across the country

Dylan
17hh 8 year old bay gelding by Guindam out of a Una II mare (by Darco)

Dylan is a striking attractive model with 3 flashy powerful paces. He is correctly put together and has world class breeding. With his sire being Guindam and his mother being out of the legendary Una II (by Darco)

Dylan has been professionally schooled on the flat with auto changes and works nice and softly at all times. He has big, flashy, powerful paces.

Despite being a big horse Dylan is never strong and is ridden in a snaffle and currently ridden at home and competition by a 15 year old girl.

He is ultra brave and forgiving, he would turn his hoof to any job such as, eventing, working hunter, leisure rides not just showjumping.

He is very good to hack and good in open spaces

Good to lead, load, catch and is the friendliest horse in the yard.

Dylan had someone run into him in the warm up, hence why we have put red ribbons on him. He is absolutely not a kicker, and he has massively improved but it did rattle his confidence however the more he goes out im sure it will be forgotten.

By Cocktail jet (Capitol)

Stunning 15.3hh bay mare with the kindest heart.

Nina has been extremely reliable. She won at hickstead in the derby meeting and qualified for the main arena twice.

We have owned Nina for nearly 3 years and know all of her history. She is a perfect bronze league, first horse for a teenager coming off ponies or an amateurs diesel horse.

She would be perfect to aim at HOYS 2026 bronze league final. Nina will give her new rider lots of wins.

She is a fun and forward ride and loves her job so would suit somebody like minded.

She has no quirks or vices and is not mareish whatsoever.


Up to date with teeth, worming, vacs and good to clip.

We had planned to put Nina in foal this spring as she is such a beautiful model but sadly we have come to the realisation that we are not in the position to start breeding and are completely overstocked. Nina has been in work for the last couple of weeks as we prioritised the young ones so she hasn’t been jumping, but she’s in work and ready to go. Price is hugely reflecting this!

No timewasters please she is very special to us and this is a decision not taken lightly.

Meet MISSY

15.3hh | 17yo | Bay Irish Mare

The ultimate pocket rocket who will happily step up for the bigger jumping days but is equally capable of stepping down for a competent child.

Missy has done every fun ride going and has enjoyed many trips to the beach with both children and adults. She is a well-known face on the hunting field and absolutely thrives in that environment.

Previously whipped-in in Ireland before coming to us, Missy absolutely loves her hunting and jumping. In the 7 years I’ve owned her she has never stopped at a fence. She will happily sit anywhere in the field and is not strong, just keen and enthusiastic about her job.

That said, I wouldn’t put a complete novice on her out hunting, simply because she enjoys it so much and may be a little much for someone brand new to hunting.

At home she is quiet enough for a novice.

Missy is clueless in the school, but will happily pop round a course of show jumps or cross-country fences. She hacks alone, is absolutely bombproof, and takes everything in her stride.

She is easy to do in all ways with absolutely no vices.

A genuine, much-loved mare looking for a fun home where she can continue to do what she loves.

Never sick or sorry and doesn’t need riding every day.

Cutting down on horses hirelings been very slow this season.

Axel absolutely loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. He is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. He remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home, you can gallop across open fields with loose horses running along side him, then immediately pull him up and allow him to walk on a long rein or ask him to stand while horses run around him, he is most definitely not sharp, spooky or spiny.

He has been truly exceptional during her time on the riding school, he is unbelievable forgiving when rider lose their balance, struipps or have a bad stride into a fence, he always takes care of her riders, his substantial build, with a leg in each corner, combined with her calm disposition, sure-footedness, and gentle nature, gives riders confidence to progress and excel. He will stand patiently at the mounting block while you mount. I can honestly say he has absolutely no quirks, vices or negative traits.

Although he is happy to go at a quiet steady pace, he is also responsive to the leg and has three beautiful balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders he will work into a nice outline with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible, he has never bucked, reared, kicked or bitten, he is the most loving kind gentleman you could ever wish to meet.
Snaffle mouth

Axel has outstanding ground manners. He stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a head collar or lead rope. He is not clingy, and is happy living in or out. In the field he keeps himself to himself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Axcel has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. He is excellent to clip, bath, catch, great to load and travel, fantastic with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. He can have weeks or even months off and return to ridden work without any fuss. He maintains his condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

He passes our riding school annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Axel is a rare gem. He is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you are looking for a SUPER SAFE happy hacker or someone looking for a fun allrounder, a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Axcel fits the bill perfectly. He is a genuine schoolmaster who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Axcel is ready to bring joy to his next rider and deserves the very best home. He has been truly exceptional. Sold on behalf of working livery, he is a private sale.

Very special unicorn sought as a mother/daughter share.

We offer an experienced and very loving home, with incredible support (based with a 5* event rider).

We don't anticipate EVER having to move the right horse on, they will become a very cherished part of our family and will want for absolutely nothing (we have the best vet, physio, farrier etc support).

About Mum:
- Vet and experienced rider (her youth was spent in pony club, hunting, eventing to BE Novice and dressage to elementary)
- She's selling her very special dressage horse to make way for this new stead
- Looking for enough quality to be able to be competitive at BD Area Festivals, and potential to go up the levels to medium/advanced medium
- Goes to shows on her own - so horse must be VERY easy to manage on the ground
- Working prelim/novice now is fine.

About daughter:
- She is an incredibly tall 12 year old, coming off a 14.2 connie.
- She's jumping 70/80 confidently, is active in pony club and is hoping to event.
- She's a neat, well-balanced rider, but she's not got much competition experience yet (especially XC)
- She therefore needs something kind, genuine and forgiving, with some competition experience already under their belt to help her out.

We definitely don't want anything sharp / sensitive / fizzy / hot / strong.

This special horse must:
- Be great in open spaces, both on their own and in company
- Have no ridden vices (we're ok with an occasional excited buck, but absolutely no rearing, napping, bolting etc)
- Ideally be around 15.2-16hh and 6-10 years to be future-proof for us (would consider 5 year old if wise beyond it's years)
- Ideally be experienced at 90/100, happy to step down to 70 for now
- Enjoy flat work

We offer a very special home, and have a realistic budget for the right horse.

Please WhatsApp details and videos in first instance.
