  • 5 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Outstanding eventing potential with quality movement and scope
  • Beautifully balanced on the flat with a trainable attitude
  • Green but genuine – ideal for an experienced rider to produce

Dennis is a quality young horse with all the attributes to develop into a top-level eventer. Having been given time to mature, he was only recently broken and is therefore still green, but showing all the right signs for a very exciting future.

He works beautifully on the flat with three balanced, expressive paces and a naturally uphill way of going. He has a soft, trainable attitude and is already proving to be a rewarding ride for a capable rider.

Over a fence, Dennis shows an excellent natural technique — careful, athletic, and scopey. Combined with his presence and movement, he has all the ingredients to progress through the levels in the right hands.

Due to his age and stage of education, Dennis is not suitable for a novice and will require a confident, knowledgeable rider to continue his production. However, for someone experienced, he represents a fantastic opportunity to produce a high-quality young horse with serious potential.

Dennis is a genuine, talented prospect who, with time and correct training, has all the makings of a top-class event horse.

CC is an exceptional young horse with incredible talent and scope. A Hanoverian gelding standing 17hh, he has already built a winning record up to 1.30m show jumping and is clearly destined for Grand Prix SJ, or equally has the potential to make a top-level eventer.

He is bold, careful, and brave, with an excellent temperament and trainable attitude. CC has been produced slowly and professionally, giving him a strong foundation to continue his competitive career at the highest level.

On the ground he is straightforward and easy to do in all ways – good to catch, clip, shoe, load, and travel. He is friendly, confident, and a pleasure to have in the stable.

CC is reasonably priced due to a minor shiver in one hind leg, which does not affect his way of going or ability. For the right rider, he represents an outstanding opportunity to step onto a horse with immense scope, talent, and potential for top-level competition.

Excellent trial facilities based in East Sussex. Transport available nationwide.

Finn is a lovely, experienced horse with a huge amount to offer, combining his dressage education with the bravery and versatility to shine as a true allrounder. A genuine dressage schoolmaster, he is well established on the flat and has previously competed at Medium level as a young horse, with BD points to his name.

He has three expressive, balanced paces and a kind, forgiving nature, making him a fantastic choice for someone wanting to learn, improve, and gain confidence with a knowledgeable partner.

Away from the arena, Finn is incredibly brave and willing. He has a great jump, happily popping fillers, and is bold cross country, confidently tackling steps, banks, and ditches. He really is the type who will turn his hoof to anything and enjoy it.

Finn has a full history known and has been in the same home for the past five years, where he has been much loved. He is now looking for a new home where he can be enjoyed more consistently, as his talent and experience deserve to be used.

He is a fabulous hack, safe and relaxed both alone and in company, and is a pleasure to have on the yard.

Finn is a rare find — a genuine schoolmaster on the flat with the bravery and attitude to excel in any sphere, whether dressage, riding club, or simply as a fun, confidence-giving partner.

BE Evented to Intermediate. Bold and brave at ditches and water, he can be a little too careful to consistently lock onto combinations, at this level.

Moves beautifully, in own balance, lovely balanced canter.

Potential to make an absolutely top class Working Hunter, but sadly rider not interested in this discipline.

Purchased from breeder as a 6 year old and solely produced by a then 15 year old boy. Any inconsistency in his record is a lot due to their combined inexperience, but is absolutely genuine.

Never naps, bucks, rears or bolts. Hacks on own or with others, can lead off him. Forward going and responsive but absolutely safe and polite. Regularly ridden by 64 year old mother.

Could do anything, amateur showjumper - top class working hunter- grassroots eventer to 2*

Such a lovely character. Curly has given Archie so much experience from 90cm to 1.30m. Completely easy to do at home and at shows.

Rory is a 6yr 3/4 Irish Draft 1/4 TB 16.1hh Dapple Grey Gelding.

His been slowly produced and is always ridden in a snaffle on the flat he is nice and supple with uphill paces. He is nice and responsive to the rider without being Sharpe or strong. He is nicely off the leg and is capable of producing a nice dressage test.

He has just started his jumping career as his owners wanted to give him time to mature physically with them always having an eye on his long term career.

He has taken to jumping very well proving to be brave and very carful with a great technique. He has seen all types of fillers and is easy to a fence taking you in without being strong. He has been to a few shows proving to be well behaved and trying his best.

Cross Country he has been schooling a handful of times and has again impressed us all with his try hard temperament he has jumped all kinds of XC fences including ditches and is willing to jump into water all in a snaffle.

Out hacking he is very good he doesn’t mind going in front or behind and is just as happy on his own as going in a group. He dose not light up if you where to hack across fields or turn for home. He has seen all types of traffic and seems totally unfazed for his age.

He has great conformation and is a great example of the ID x TB stamp he is blemish free and has lovely strong feet.

On the ground he is great to have around the stable yard. Very easy to do everything with including catching, leading, loading and all the usually stuff like grooming and bathing. He is also good to shoe, clip and load both into a trailer and a lorry.

He still has lots to learn but is a honest reliable type ready for someone to put there own stamp on

He is vicelss and open to any vetting and trainers are welcome.

Eye Catching Dressage Mare by Talisman

  • Black
  • Mare
  • 10 years
  • 17 hands
  • Scoring over 70% Novice BD
  • Exceptional Paces, Beautiful Temperament and Easy to do
  • Reliably Hacks alone and in company

An eye-catching mare with exceptional talent, a superb temperament, and outstanding breeding.
By the Hanoverian stallion Talisman, whose pedigree includes some of the most influential modern dressage bloodlines, including Totilas and Sandro Hit. Her dam is equally well bred by Dancier. Thea’s breeding combines athleticism, rideability, temperament, and expressive movement, making her not only a competitive riding horse but also an exciting prospect for a dressage-focused breeding programme.

In her previous home, Thea successfully competed at numerous unaffiliated and para dressage competitions. She is a straightforward, willing ride with a kind attitude and no sharp or silly behaviour.

More recently, Thea has been competing under British Dressage, consistently achieving high-60% to low-70% scores with excellent judge feedback, particularly praising her elevated paces, rideability, and straightness. She already holds her Regional qualification scores at both Prelim and Novice level.

Thea is excellent to hack both alone and in company. She is well accustomed to farm and village traffic, remains sensible in open spaces, and has even enjoyed a pub ride, happily standing patiently while her rider enjoyed a glass of fizz.

On the ground, Thea is a pleasure to handle — good to catch, clip, and shoe, with a genuinely affectionate nature. She is not mareish, enjoys attention, and does not require intensive daily work to remain settled and enjoyable.

In the interest of full transparency, Thea can weave when feeling anxious, particularly when settling into a new environment, although she has not weaved with us for some time. When she first arrived, she was weak behind, and as part of her strengthening programme we elected to medicate her hocks. She has strengthened considerably since and is working very well, though some sympathetic management may be beneficial going forward. Her price reflects these considerations.

A rare opportunity to purchase a mare of this quality, temperament, and breeding without the champagne price tag.
