Seeking competitive mother/daughter share


Ref #: 401818

  • Safe, sane and non-spooky
  • Must hack alone and in company confidently
  • 15.2-16hh, ideally 6-10 years

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.

  • To enjoy low level RC Dressage and Hacking

Monty is a smart well bred 16.1 , 16 year old ex event horse looking for a new best friend to enjoy low level RC Dressage and Hacking .

Monty is a well schooled /educated relaxed chappie but due to some medical issues that will be FULLY disclosed he would suit someone experienced and balanced wanting to have a quieter life not jumping and not someone wanting to be out every weekend competing.

Monty will produce a super test and thoroughly enjoys going out training and competing, Monty also enjoys hacking and is forward thinking and confident out on his own and in company.

Monty would benefit from a smaller lighter rider and to be preferably kept on flatter fields as ours are very hilly along with our hacking , we feel this will benefit his long term well being .

Monty loves being out in the field , he wouldn’t be a horse to keep in all through the winter but it also happy to come in ie for the night or in during the day what ever your routine maybe .

Monty has no vices at all and is exceptionally easy to have around . Homes absolutely will be vetted as we really don’t want the lovely boy passed around.

Stunning 7yo 16,1 Chestnut Mare – ROR / Event / Riding Club Prospect
By Ulysses x Penny Lane Forever

Ren is a beautiful 7-year-old chestnut mare, retired from racing in February 2024 and carefully retrained since. Having previously ridden her as a work rider, I brought her home to give her the time and education for a new career.

She is a quality type with exceptional movement, naturally balanced paces and the presence to really stand out. Ren would make a super RoR prospect, riding club horse, event type or all-rounder for someone looking to produce a talented mare.

Fantastic breeding – Ulysses lines
Beautiful, balanced paces
ROR / Event / Dressage prospect
Hacks happily alone or in company
Kind nature and enjoys her work
Proven broodmare – excellent mother

Ren is now coming back into ridden work, but sadly due to lack of time she is looking for her next partner. She thrives when she has a job and will reward someone who wants to continue her education.

A genuine, eye-catching mare with huge potential in the right hands.

Cherry has been handled correctly since birth, groomed daily, feet picked out out. Fully vaccinated, regular farrier. Owned/bred by a Vet - open to all Vettings. Good with her bridle ready to start long reining now. Won many in Hand showing classes and was first in her Championship show. At the Championship she qualified for the evening performance and took it all in her stride Winning Potential Sports horse in a strong class.

She is a lovely kind filly with real sassy quality - exceptionally good paces. Her Dam is a Dr. Watson mare so fabulous dressage breeding with Sir Donnerhall and Weltmeyer lines.

The mare is awarded Gold at British Futurity Breeding, and is back competing likely will go right up the levels. Hoping to go Advanced with her in time. She has the mares three excellent gaits with exceptional activity of her hind leg.

She will make an incredible sports horse, jumps - has loose jumped a couple of times. She has her sires trademark Lostock Candyman's; golden temperament. His sire Lostock Huntsman was an intermediate eventer, HOYS Coloured Champion and did 14 seasons hunting. An incredibly tough/sound 3/4 TB, who has sired numerous eventers and show horses. His dam Wysteria Lane showed great style over a fence, whose pedigree carries a lot of show jumping blood.

She is very affectionate and a very fast learner she will be incredibly easy and rewarding to train and she has been to various County Shows and taken in the atmosphere behaved well and won her classes. She is real quality but not too big standing 15.3 at the moment, likely to finish around 16hh.

She is going to be a serious ridden prospect and will suit a keen rider with an active competition schedule. Looking forward to staying in touch with whoever buys her and following their progress. Only for sale as I can't keep them all and already have her sister, along with her Dam who I could not part with. Priced to sell she is ready to start ground work and preparing for backing, be suitable for somebody who wants to take her through the producing years themselves and end up with a quality sort who will likely be an incredible sports horse.

Kode Secret (Kodi)
16.3hh 5 year old Irish TB gelding, sired by Kodiac, last raced 13th October 2025, retired sound, no vices. Show quality.

Kodi is an absolute sweetheart, with not a bad bone in his body, he has been schooling really well and moves lovely over his back and with good hind leg action. He has been working over poles and has started to jump a small cross pole which he shows potential with and enjoys very much. I think he would love to continue to do this and would make a great eventer in the future! I also think he’d do well in the showing ring. Not a novice ride due to still being green. Can be ridden in all kinds of weather and is unphased.

Snaffled mouthed, used to seeing cars and tractors, clean limbed, no lumps, bumps or sarcoids. Easy to catch. Great stamp of a horse with excellent confirmation would easily be a HOYS contender.

Currently turned out with my yearling gelding and 2 year old filly which he is so well behaved with and is super in his stable and on the ground. He is fantastic to load and has travelled in a box and a trailer.

Currently barefoot and upto date on dental, physio, worming and vaccinations.

Only for sale due to owner’s change in commitments.

Super Smart 15.3hh 4yo Gelding – Genuine & Sensible

  • Kind temperament and lovely to handle
  • Genuine young horse ready for someone to continue producing

Bruno is a super smart young cob with a fantastic temperament and a brave, genuine attitude to life. He has been produced with a strong focus on hacking and real-world experience, giving him a solid start and a sensible outlook despite his young age.

He hacks out happily alone and in company and is fantastic in traffic. I regularly take him out alone along our busy country lanes and he takes everything in his stride.

Bruno has been out to a local farm ride where he confidently popped a selection of rustic fences and happily trotted and cantered through the water. Although this was all new to him, he proved bold, brave and very willing, giving everything a go.

He has also travelled out for hacks with friends, is good in open spaces, and enjoys a splash in the river.

His schooling is still green, which is exactly what you would expect for a rising four year old who has mainly been produced out hacking. He has done a little schooling in the field and shows active, uphill paces and a forward attitude. He is ready for someone to continue producing him in their own way.

On the ground Bruno is a lovely horse to have around. He is:
• Good to catch, lead and tack up
• Loves grooming and attention
• Loads first time on both trailer and lorry
• Travels well
• Good for vet and farrier (currently barefoot)
• Clipped twice and stood perfectly
• Stands quietly to be bathed with the hose

He is used to a busy yard environment including children, dogs, chickens, donkeys, tractors and general machinery and is unfazed by it all.

Bruno is a genuine young cob with masses of potential who will go on to make a versatile allrounder, fun horse or show cob.

At this stage I would love him to go to a knowledgeable home where someone can continue his education and enjoy producing him further.

He has all the ingredients to become someone’s horse of a lifetime.

Serious enquiries only please.

A truly special young filly with all the attributes to excel in the sport horse world.

By the outstanding Elite Dressage/Event Stallion Dream On
Out of Revellie 11

OSO Private Dancer combines quality breeding with the most wonderful temperament. She is:

Easy to do in all ways
 Kind, loving nature
 Unfazed by heavy traffic – happily walks out in-hand
 Nothing bothers her
 Quick to learn and eager to please

She has a calm, sensible head on young shoulders and is proving to be straightforward and genuine — a rare find in a young horse with such potential.

This is a heartbreaking sale. I will truly regret parting with her. The only reason she is available is because she is far too good to be wasted, and due to my daughter’s health and family circumstances, we simply don’t have the time she deserves to fulfil her potential.

She deserves a knowledgeable home where she can go on and shine in dressage, eventing, or as a quality large riding horse.

Serious enquiries only for this very special filly.

Homebred Dapple Grey Gelding by Cevin Z

Rio named during the 2016 Olympics is the first horse I ever bred and is out of my first horse who took me to my first events etc and so unsurprisingly he is very loved and means alot to me! I have come to the hard decision to sell him as I have expanded my interest in breeding and now have alot of youngsters on the ground and more on the way! Rio much prefers low level 80/90 jumping to my desired heights and enjoys showing and hacking alot more than I do!! I feel rather than me keeping him just because i'm being sentimental it would be lovely to find him a home that appreciates him and loves him just as much but where he can do a job that he enjoys! Over the years he has been picked up and put down and always left till last as he's easy and didn't mind and my event horses always took priority! I'd love to find him a home where he is someone's everything even if that just means they have more time to brush him and share their tea and biscuits!

Rio has turned his hoof to most things! He's done RC/UA dressage, BE, BS, hunted, funrides, beach rides, borrowed by friends and most recently he went on loan to a family friend where he was very successful in show hunter classes with many wins and placings his most notable success was taking Champion at Devon County Show 2025 and qualifying for Royal International. He very much enjoys this job and I can see him continuing to be very successful at it!

He's brilliant to hack, alone or in company, rides and leads, excellent in traffic and happily nanny's the youngsters.

Rio is good to do in all ways, doesn't need riding everyday but enjoys plently of turnout here. He doesn't mind being in or out, and is currently out at night in in the day with a herd of boys. He's good to clip, shoe, catch etc. Has only ever travelled in a lorry.

Like everyone he's not perfect and does have a few notable things to consider which are reflected in his price. He can get mild sweetitch in the summer if left to his own devices however we've never had a problem with this as he has a jab for it and wears a rug and you wouldn't know its something that can affect him!

I have his SI medicated when I feel he needs it. Happy to discuss in more detail but this is something we feel benefits him.

He can be horse shy in small busy warm ups and trys to turn away from oncoming horses. This has improved over time and is generally fine in big or quiet warm ups. He's happy schooling with others in the school at home/at clinics/lessons etc.

A top long term home is a priority to me where he will be cherished! Although generally easy I'd like him to go to an experienced knowledgeable home.

Lots of photos and videos available right from only a few minutes old!

Sold with his tack and rugs
