  • A responsive but safe ride
  • Bomproof
£1,000 ONO
  • Thoroughbred
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • A truly gentle soul
  • A responsive but safe ride
  • Bomproof

Sadly for sale - a true gentleman, with excellent manners and no vices.

A responsive ride but very safe. Forward but excellent brakes. Currently lives on a working farm - sees everything, livestock, machinery, etc. Completely unbothered by anything.

I have had him as a happy hacker, which he would happily continue to do. The kids sit on him in the stable, he is very gentle. A great family horse, or would happily go up a gear to hunt if you wanted, or would take on a new discipline no problem - very forward with plenty of miles left on the clock.

Genuinely easy to do in all ways. A sad sale, but due to health reasons I cannot ride for the next year + and I can't justify keeping him as a field ornament. Sold from the field/stable as I pulled his shoes and put him on break while I'm unable to ride. Priced to reflect this for a quick sale.

Gingerbread is a handsome Arab X. This lovely boy has come a long way since his arrival and initial rescue background. Because of his stressful past, Gingerbread is seeking a quiet, consistent, and patient home where he can continue to settle and truly thrive as a cherished companion.

What Gingerbread needs most is a dedicated handler in a settled environment. While he is generally sweet, his background means he can still be unsure or overwhelmed in new or stressful circumstances. Day-to-day, he is making great strides in his handling; he has improved with leading and is learning to trust during grooming and feet picking, tasks which currently require extra time and patience. He is currently kept with one other docile gelding, soon to be introduced to a small gelding herd.

The ideal home for Gingerbread is a quiet, one-on-one setup with consistent gelding friends. If you are looking for a gentle, mature companion horse and have the patience and dedication to help him continue to gain confidence, Gingerbread promises to be a rewarding and loyal addition to your herd.

In new environments, Dream can be strong to lead, simply due to uncertainty. However, once she has settled and feels secure, she leads well and shows her true, steady temperament.

Dream is best suited to living out and currently lives happily in a herd of mares. With appropriate introductions, she could also be turned out with geldings.

Roe is a handsome, gentle hunter-type gelding who is searching for his loving forever companion home. He is wonderfully mannered and good to handle in every way—easy to catch, lead, groom and pick out feet, and he is also a star for both the vet and farrier.

He is currently living out 24/7 but is equally happy with a routine that includes some stabling. Roe is overweight at the moment and is following a diet plan to help him safely slim down, so he will need a home committed to restricted grazing and ongoing weight management. He would also really enjoy and benefit from in-hand walks to keep him active.

Roe currently lives contentedly with geldings and has been living next door to mares. With sensible introductions, he could also join a mixed herd if needed.

Meet Bruce
11year old 16.1

Flashing dark bay/black thoroughbred.

Finished racing 2023

Same home since, has done abit of everything and is a total poppet to deal with.

Unfortunately he now has a heart murmur and therefore current owners have decided they wish for him to be sold as a companion or could be a fantastic ROR in hand showing horse. He moves beautifully.

He passed a 5-stage vetting when we purchased him in 2023 and no murmur was detected at that time.

To ride ( while we don't wish to carry on) if you so wish to that would be at your discretion.

He's a fantastic soul. We are asking a very small donation to a secure a fantastic home for him. Please call for any questions

A very honest advert.

I am ashamed to admit that I do not have the time, money or grass (!) that Arthur needs and I’m seeing if the perfect person is out there for him.

I have had him from a two year old (over from Ireland) and backed him myself. He was always the reliable old head on young shoulders. I used to lead an unbacked 3 year old mare from him as a freshly backed 4 year old.

However over the last year he’s been dealt a rough hand physically and I have recently had a baby, culminating in him having a lot of time off and me having no time to properly give him any attention. He’s gone back in his shell and lost the bond we had which I’m so sad about. He is an introvert and a sensitive soul despite his size and could really do with some 1-to-1. I have two other horses and really struggle to do more than turn in and out with him.

He is currently recovering from a tendon injury, he is field sound but could do with more time off / out I think before being brought back into work. All other veterinary history will be disclosed to any potential homes.

Come spring I’m sure he would be straightforward to bring back into work and hopefully be able to enjoy life ambling around the country side. He is not built for speed really so someone who likes a slower pace of life would be great.

I realise this is the worst time of year to find homes but I physically don’t have enough grass or money for hay to keep him myself. Really hoping he can find his miracle person.

Has travelled in a 3.5ton, trailer and bigger Lorrie’s without a problem.
