 16hh–17hh | 8 years+ | mare or gelding. Warmblood or PRE/Luso.
Looking for an established advanced medium training PSG or higher with correct training and a genuine, trainable temperament to be competitive at silver small tour. 

 This is a hugely important purchase following the heartbreaking decision to sell a very special talented top horse, as he is just too hot for me, so temperament and rideability matter just as much as ability. I am not looking for something sharp, hot, fragile or unpredictable.

 The right horse will be competitive whilst remaining sane, sensible and enjoyable to ride and live with (otherwise known as a unicorn!) 
 Must:
Be safe and sensible in all weathers and under floodlights 
Be straightforward at shows and not become hot, tense or silly away from home
Stay on the ground (!)
Be happy living a normal loving life with daily turnout 
Be kind, trainable and confidence-giving rather than electric or overly sensitive
Hack sensibly and generally be easy to handle and manage
Be sound, straightforward and correctly produced 
Pass a pragmatic insurance vetting with X rays appropriate for age and level. 

Bonus points for any of; full history known, produced slowly, generous nature, kept in small yard environment, openness to range of trial rides. 

I am an experienced Rider, having been to nationals and competed two horses previously at Small Tour including Premier Leagues. I have previously produced young horses, ridden all sorts. As I have got older and with the family commitments I want something to enjoy not that I have to talk myself into riding. 

Fantastic facilities they live at home with us, regular top training and a simple but seemingly hard goal, to enjoy training and competing without feeling frightened or managing unnecessary drama. Long-term home waiting for the right horse. Budget reflects quality and suitability. Please message with full details, videos and price.

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Competitive Novice / 100 event horse wanted


Ref #: 409079

  • Must have a good record at least at 100 and preferably Novice level
  • Must be bold, scopey and honest and love the job as much as his rider, while able to do a nice test

We are looking for a new member of our team to partner my son at this level. He lives for his sport and horses, and his commitment and dedication to them is rarely seen in someone his age.

Unfortunately his pony of a lifetime has suffered an injury and won’t compete this season, so we are taking the opportunity to look for his next team mate.

He’s coming off of ponies and while he likes a bigger engine, the horse needs to be rideable and respectful and tolerate the odd miss.

While we are a very active PC and event home, ultimately we are a family home with the horses being family members, so this next horse must be a nice person and fit in to this environment.

We aren’t in a rush so happy to wait for the right horse and have a realistic budget for the horse that we need.
