Very sad sale due to my daughter starting University in September we are looking for a new home for her lovely event horse, Glendew (Tinker). We have owned Tinker for nearly three years and she has taken my daughter from 100s to Novice level.
Tinker has successfully competed at 2* level going clear xc and is currently competing at 100 level with my daughter.
36 British Eventing points and 106 Foundation points
5 BE wins at 100, 105 & Novice
11 top ten at 100
7 top ten at Novice
£337 / 216 British Show Jumping points.
Tinker has taught my daughter so much and loves her job. She has done some BS with us successfully as well as NSEA with podium finishes at the Championships. She has beautiful paces and produces a lovely accurate dressage test. Very careful show jumping - any poles on her record are most likely rider error.
Tinker has also had a foal in 2018 and two ‘light’ non competitive years (August 21 - July 23) with a teenager who could not ride her due to ill health. She returned to her previous owner to be competed and sold on which is when we were lucky enough to find her. My daughter instantly gelled with her and took her to their first BE 100 two or three weeks after she came to us going double clear.
Highlights of their time together include
1st Blindley Heath U18 Open Novice
1st Wellington International U18 100 Open
2nd Munstead 100 Open
2nd Farley 100 Open
16th Aston Le Walls CCI1*
Numerous placings and wins at NSEA show jumping, Combined Training and Dressage. Won Pony Club Area Dressage. Wins at unaffiliated dressage, SJ and BS. Tinker would be ideal for Arena Eventing but has not done any with us.
Tinker is well behaved out hacking and very good in traffic (we hack on busy roads). She is part TB and a fit competition horse and whilst nearly all the time she is a schoolmaster hack and I totally trust her to take my 19yr old daughter hacking either on her own or with others, I would not put a very novice rider on her in case she got spooked - which is rare but could happen.
She currently has been living out at night and in during the day but has also lived out 24/7 all year with us. She prefers company so better in a yard with other horses but happily turned out alone or with others.
She loads perfectly in either a horse box or trailer - we have travelled her in both an EquiTrek and Ivor Williams trailer. Travelled in huge HGV lorry with previous owner! Travels to shows on her own or with another. Very good at stay away events.
Low mileage due to having a foal as a young horse and a freak accident trailer accident in 2025 requiring time off.
Since Tinker started competing again in June she has been placed 2nd, 5th and 10th in Open 100s with clear steady XC rounds given the hard going.
We think Tinker would really suit a confident experienced young rider who wants to compete at 100 or Novice level eventing or to focus on pure show jumping up 120. She would be fast and turn quickly in jump offs but because our focus has been eventing my daughter has never ‘gone for the time’ in a jump off! She would also be a super mother daughter share and I ride her regularly including doing her fast work etc. Great for Riding Club or Pony Club.
We are looking for a loving knowledgeable home where she will continue to event or focus on pure SJ. Ideal for BE U18s or a more mature rider looking to have fun. She would also be an amazing horse to take team chasing.
We absolutely love Tinker (aka Tinkerbell) and will only let her go to a knowledgeable home where we know she will be happy. Finances force this sale as we cannot afford livery near university - otherwise my daughter would love to continue to compete her if she could!!
We have lots more photos that can be sent. Due to personal injury (broken ankle) I need to find Tinker a new home ASAP as my daughter goes to University mid September and I am currently unable to ride. We are open to offers.
