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.

Ferrari

Smart 15.3hh 6Yo tb mare.

Ferrari is a versatile little horse who is forward thinking with three nice paces and a nice open shoulder.

She’s great to hack alone or in company and good in open spaces. She’s been away on training clinics, loads and travels well.

Can be green in the school but is showing some decent work and promising potential.

This sporty lady is ROR eligible, clean limbed and level headed, and would be an ideal teenagers horse, low level event, riding club type and is now ready to conquer the future with her new partner.

Serious enquiries only.


Affectionate Bay 9yo 16hh gelding ROR Eligible

  • ROR eligible as did a little flat racing

Bailey is a 9 year old 16hh gelding eligible for ROR. (Baileys Prayer (FR))
I have owned Bailey since he was 3 years old. I purchased him straight off the track.

Bailey has a very sweet personality like a big puppy so would suit someone that could give him lots of love and cuddles as he is very affectionate. Bailey is clever so in order to keep him on his best behaviour, he should have an experienced assertive rider.
Bailey has only been brought back into work recently (4-5 weeks) (I am pregnant and only recently found someone to ride him for me. Prior to this he had been on a break to correct some poor farriery work after returning from a loan home. His feet are back to normal now thankfully!). His fitness and schooling coming on well.

I unfortunately don’t have the time to keep Bailey as I have two competing horses already and a second child on the way.

Bailey has competed up to 90cm with me a few years ago, but Bailey would probably be better suited to a happy hacking or low level competing home. (Possibly some team chasing) We have popped a couple of jumps on Bailey now he is back in work and he is really enjoying that. He will go off a long or short stride and is super at correcting the strides for you coming into a fence!

Bailey absolutely loves to hack out and is a natural born explorer. He is bold and safe out hacking and will hack alone or in company.
Bailey is good to clip, shoe and loads onto trailers (not experienced with bigger lorries so may need some training on this).
Will only go to a 5* experienced home. Please contact me for further info, videos and pics.

Luna - a lovely tempered rising 7 year old thoroughbred mare. Very attractive and striking looking mare with such a great attitude to all types of work whether she is schooling on the flat, grid/pole work or jumping.

She has been slowly produced over the last 8-10 months and is now ready for a new owner to continue her development.

She is eligible for RoR and would make a top event prospect as she is already proving to be very bold and brave.

Luna has been out to a few BS shows jumping on a ticket and has been well behaved in the warm up ring and enjoyed the challenge of jumping indoors and outside. She has also been XC schooling and has proved to be very bold and brave jumping ditches and a wide range of fences

Luna has no vices she is easy to catch, box, shoe, clip and load and is a pleasure to handle inside and out of her stable.

She is a genuine mare with the talent and the temperament and would suit someone who is competitive and wanting to develop her further.

My secret (or not so secret) little favourite girl …. Meet ‘Pixie’ - a super fun, pocket rocket, totally sane and super smart 15.3hh, 8yo, TB mare
No lumps , bumps , blemishes nor vices

Pixie ran on the flat just twice , so don’t let this put you off!! However, that makes her ROR eligible and my word , there’s some classes to be won with her there !

The KINDEST mare alive in and out of the stable!! Sweetest of mare’s , should be a bay gelding! Super for the farrier, great to catch, loads and travels perfectly … totally vice free and easy!!!

Beautifully well schooled! Works in a natural outline in all three paces. Super flashy mover and easy to ride. Forward and off the leg but remains in a snaffle and is extremely polite and sane

She absolutely LOVES to jump!! She won’t ever say no to a fence , bold , brave and always up for it! She could be very competitive in this sphere. I can just see her with a confident teen having the time of their lives!! I wish I’d had this mare when I was in the pony club! Would also suit anyone like me , a grown adult who appreciates this mare wholeheartedly for being extremely safe and easy but a whole heap of fun!! Pixie has been to unaffiliated shows and plenty of clinics etc

Hacks out perfectly, alone or in company! The perfect nanny horse. Hacks in the heaviest of traffic and is always reliable. My yard girls are having the absolute world of fun with her. Mannerly in open spaces but loves it when you give her the okay to canter through the field!

Pixie is 100 percent straightforward and genuine. However she is a mare with an engine and a real love for life so not for anyone novice etc! She is a super mare with so much to give her new best friend! My yard girls aren’t going to be very happy with me when she leaves that’s for sure. Owners personal circumstances force this sale. This is not an easy decision. Owner would love to stay in touch
