BONNIE BLUE  - 16hh blue and white Irish mare 4 yrs 

Super old fashioned Irish mare who will go on to do any job. Bonnie is a type increasingly hard to find, she’s a solid MW and a square leg at each corner sort but is still quality. 

She is recently broken and riding and has taken to her work very well. She is now working sweetly on the flat and starting to get the idea of working on the bridle but is still wobbly!  She stays in a good rhythm and really tries to please, she is obviously still green but shows a lot of promise in her work and is naturally balanced.

Bonnie is definitely a jumper! She has got a great technique, and gets better with every session. She is just awesome, she’s very brave, careful and straightforward. She has had her first taste of XC with us and was great fun, a lot more to come from her!

She will go on and do a bit of everything very well, I could see her going and being a lot of fun grassroots eventing, SJ ( you wouldn’t know how much scope she’s got so who knows how far she will go!) she would be a machine out hunting, love fun rides or equally she’s kind and simple and loves her hacking alone and in company and is good in traffic. We have hacked her extensively, taken her to the beach / pub and given her a good start to seeing the world.  

Her attitude to work is just the best, she is the definition of a trier.

In addition to being such a total sweetheart under saddle she’s very kind to handle, good to catch, clip, box, good with farrier although this is her first set of shoes and she needs a bit of feed and a kind word for confidence.

I adore her and can’t wait to see what she becomes.

ARTHUR

16hh black KWPN gelding 6yrs

Potential eventer, American hunter.  

Arthur has competed BD age classes with good results, however his owner feels his heart isn’t in the pure dressage job and so therefore is looking for a different life for him. Since being with us Arthur has been introduced to jumping, both over coloured fences and XC. He’s brave, clever and forward thinking. He has jumped at 80 cm training shows SJ with us and although green as grass, jumped straight round throwing some nice shapes. He has been XC schooling and again proved brave, jumped baby ditches, went through water and showed a good attitude going off on his own. He has loads of potential to be a seriously competitive little event horse as the flat is already good and he’s very flashy.  

Arthur loves his hacking both alone and in company, he’s excellent in fairly heavy traffic and not spooky or silly.  

To ride on the flat he has been professionally produced and is therefore all there ready to go once his jumping is up to speed. Schooling round 90-1m with us and nearly ready to jump a BS British Novice. It won’t take long for him to be a strong grass roots contender.

We haven’t really got to the bottom of him yet as have just been keeping everything easy and fun and giving good foundations, who knows how much scope and heart he has! He seriously moves and therefore is looking for a competitive rider who is used to a horse with a lot of power, he won’t suit a novice! Saying that he isn’t tricky and is a kind hearted chap who wants to please.  

Arthur is a very easy boy to have on the yard, mannerly in and out the stable, good to box, catch, shoe, clip and loves fuss.  

Hacks out brilliantly alone and in company, very good in traffic. Snaffle mouthed for everything.  

Good to clip/box/shoe
