  • Irish
  • Black

  • 22 years

  • Loves Jumping & XC
  • Perfect Mother / Daughter share
  • Really looks after his rider

Knip is a real gentleman, he taken my 14 year old daughter from jumping 70, to winning 1m show jumping. 

He is brilliant at cross country and you can trust him to jump anything, he never refuses! 

He is great to hack, forward going, but has breaks. 

He travels alone and has great manners at shows. He currently lives out, but also happy to be stabled. 

He is fit and in regular work, we have weekly lessons on him and take him to PC rallies. 

I love hacking Knip out, he's fun and fast, and will hack out alone or in company. He has done pony club camp, beach rides and hunted. 

He is forward going and strong so needs a confident rider.

Theo 16.2hh Gelderlander

Exceptional gelding with tonnes of experience for sale. Has spent the last 12 yrs in the same riding school where he has been ridden by experienced novice, intermediate and advanced riders both children and adults. He has done all flat and jumping lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he first started his riding school career. He is very genuine, super steady and calm with fantastic floating paces, he doesn’t rush, pull, spook or get fizzy he is an absolute dream to ride, he has been ridden by children as young as 8 years because he absolutely takes care of his riders, he still is the most sort after horse to ride at the riding school, if our clients get the Choice of who to ride, Theo is most definitely number 1 and out of 47 horses that’s saying something.
He looks and rides like a 10 year old, this dream horse is only for sale as I feel he needs a 1 to 1 home where he can enjoy a slightly slower pace, we semi retired him last year, but he didn’t enjoy being turned out doing nothing, he use to stand at the gate looking bored, he is a peoples horse, he loves attention and being pampered, which we unfortunately cant always do due to being so busy, Theo will give confidence to any rider who has had a bad experience riding or someone who is mature that wants a super safe horse with so much to offer.

Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field he has impeccable manners enabling anyone to handle him safely and with ease, even our tiny tots lead him back and to from the field holding the end of a lead rope and he has never pulled or walked fast. He has a temperament to die for and is the most loving boy you could ever wish to meet.

He has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a safe easy schoolmaster.

Theo will hack out on busy roads however, this would need to be more in company initially to build confidence back up as he has not seen much traffic for a number of years. He is super safe across open fields, bridle paths and walk ways, he is super steady remaining at one speed he doesn’t race even when cantering along side another horse, he doesn’t spook, spin, jog or get fizzy, he will happily ride at the Front, middle or back of a ride or on his own down bridleways.

He currently lives in a mixed herd, he is happy to live out and equally happy to be stabled, he is currently shod and has excellent manners with the farrier. clip, load and dentist. He ties up anywhere, he absolutely loves attention.

He is up to date with his worming, teeth and shoes.

Even though Theo is a mature gentleman he is super fit and healthy, has has passed our annual riding school licence inspection for the passed 12yrs, this inspection is equivalent to a 2 stage vetting. I can honestly say that he’s never been sick or sorry never been lame or needed the vet out, this might sound hard to believe but it’s true my vet can verify this, he is 100% fit as a fiddle. Theo has never had sweet Itch, laminitis, sarcoids his legs are unbelievably clean for his age.

Theo would give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily still compete at riding club level dressage or showing, he absolutely loves to work.

Theo is a real Peter Pan and is currently in light work. Theo has been semi retired for 12 months, he has done the odd lesson here and there, he can simply be tacked up without having to lunge or horse walked and be ridden with absolutely no fuss what so ever.

Maximum weight he carries is 12st.

Finding Theo the right five star private home is of upmost importance, a loan period can be negotiated in order to find him a happy home for life. The price of Theo is irrelevant however a cheap or free horse can sometimes go into the wrong hands. when you have had a horse for 12yrs it is obviously very difficult to let go, so his welfare and future is the most important.

  • Rocky is a 16.2, grey ISH
  • He has previously hunted most of his life as a masters horse

Despite his age, he absolutely has plenty more to give!!

Never strong or silly, hacks alone and in company, rides and leads, good to catch, clip, load, traffic although sometimes can get silly with the farrier so will need a firm hand on the ground!

More kick than pull.

I have had him for the past 6 months and just hacked him, he can be turned out for 2 weeks and be good as gold back under saddle!

Never sick or sorry.

Absolutely loves attention he will stand for hours getting groomed, only selling due to new work commitments and no longer having time for him.

Rocky would suit anyone he really is a lovely boy.

Comes with bridle and rugs.

Sadly Troy is coming up for sale due to no fault of his own, he has three lovely paces is never stupid or silly. He really is the ‘perfect horse’ everyone looks for!

I have jumped 80/90 on him however with his old owners he’s has done BS and has jumped 1.10/1.20.

He’s the most kind hearted horse and doesn’t put a foot wrong, he really is the most gentle giant you can find. Loves every human being alive especially the little ones!

He’s good to shoe, clip, worm ect, we haven’t come across any problems with him, he really is an angel boy!

He will live in or out but currently out at night and in during the day. He can sometimes be bolshy on the ground but when told he is absolutely fine, this is more when mares are in season.

He is only for sale as our yard is too busy for him and he didn’t settle well in our heard (around 30/40 horses) so I would say he would suit a smaller yard.

Charlie is a total yard legend. Loves to do his job. Easy to do in all ways. Stands quietly in or ouside box, hacks out alone or in company. Does a nice test and eats up xc.

I’ve only done 90 on him but he’d do 100 without breaking sweat. Lovely to have on the yard. Quite simply the best horse I’ve owned but I’ve given up riding and have reduced the price from £8k to £5k as I need him away.

Will only sell to the right home and at the price advertised.

  • Experienced allrounder
  • Gentle, loving temperament
  • Good to do in all ways
Jazz is a beautiful hannovarian X Irish dressage horse who I bought originally from his breeder as a 3yo and have owned for 14 years.

Dressage is his favourite thing and is the discipline I am most interested in, I have competed him up to BD elementary level however at home he is working at advanced level and is well educated in the school. Established in shoulder in/out, traver, renver, half pass, piaffe, counter canter all in a snaffle. He can also be ridden in a double bridle. He is easy to ride and confidence giving, he has been ridden by complete novices and beginners to teach them the basics he also gives confidence to young horses being hacked out etc.

I have also taken him hunting, to multiple fun rides, clinics, beach rides and he loves hacking. He is very well behaved to take out and about. He is great in open spaces and does not get hot or silly. He can be strong but well behaved in a group galloping so is not for a complete novice. He is good in traffic with farm machinery hacks alone or in company fine and with bikes, dogs, prams etc.

No veterinary history at all he has had no issues the whole time I have had him, he is a really good doer and is never sick or sorry. Good to do in all ways, shoe, clip, bath, load and travel. Currently shod in front.

Genuine reason for sale due to lack of time as I feel he has so much left to give, he is a really loving type of horse who loves to please and really thrives off attention. He is the ultimate dressage schoolmaster so I would really like to find someone who is interested in this and who will continue his dressage career. He is a really fun horse that does not need to be ridden everyday, he is laid back, confidence giving and easy going.

Up to date with dental examinations, vaccinations, farrier, worm counts, loves a sports massage and is open to five star vetting.

Will only be sold to an experienced home, very sad sale, please ring for more details.
