7 YRO bright bay gelding, 16.2hh by Orlando out of S Romanicelle (Voltaire). French bred by the famous Loir stud, home of Banzai du Loir, Gypsy du Loir, Crazy du Loir and other high profile event horses.

Indy is a beautiful modern blood type, an elegant stamp of a horse, one you would pick out of a crowd. He is a nice mover, produces a smart test consistently scoring plus 70%. He has a good jump technique both in front and behind but has taken his time to find his balance in the canter. He has always been a naturally talented cross country horse, brave with a real desire to run and jump.

Indy is currently competing at novice, has jumped double clear in his last three starts, winning 2 of them. He has another novice still to go and will step up to FEI in the spring. He is a nice person with good manners on the ground and is one of the sweetest horses on the yard.

Suitable for either an amateur who wants to win classes or a budding professional to produce this talented horse up through the grades.

Clean current set of X rays and bill of health. Sensibly priced at £60k.

  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 16.3 hands
  • Ultimate Hunter
  • Has Evented to 2*
  • Was professionally produced

This horse has jumped the biggest hunt country out there with the infamous Mid Surrey Farmers Drag without hesitation, he is an out and out machine, super flashy with room to spare.

He is ideal in every respect, super careful over the trappiest timber, water and ditches.

Not only this but he has a record of Irish/FEI eventing up to 2*, he has not evented with us as we hunt however, he did complete a pony club camp faultlessly.

Ballylynch Frequent Flyer was produced by a professional in Ireland over 4 years, is amazing to have around at home, he’s easy in absolutely everyway, traffic, shoe, box, clip, catch and hacks alone or in company perfectly.

Fit, out hunting and ready to go, impatient but manageable in a queue.

Up to date with everything.

We are looking for an ambitious and experienced rider to ride him to his full potential.

Sad sale due to children going to uni. 14 years old, ideal for a lighter woman/male.

  • 16.1 hands
  • Double clear at Advanced
  • Clear xc at 4* and completed Blenheim 4*L 2023
  • Lovely character and person. Competed and ridden by a 17yo boy this summer

Compact and smart horse. Successfully evented up to 4* level, jumping clear xc at Burnham Market, Aston and Blair 4* shorts and completing Blenheim 4* Long in 2023.

He does have an old tendon injury, which has been stem celled, rehabbed and correctly brought back into work. The vets were very happy with his last scan and given the go ahead to start eventing again, has done 3 events this season and leg looks very good.

Has had a quiet year as I broke my wrist in the Spring, so had been ticking over with a 17yo boy who works part time for us. He then took him to Chard GoBE100 and finished 2nd, before jumping double clear at West Wilts 100open with just time faults dropping him out the top 10.

Whilst we feel it’s not fair to try and get him back to 4* level he still has a lot to give someone, whether its pure dressage or show jumping or low level event (we think maybe 100/Novice/2*).

Super paces and scored 31 at 4* level and 27 at 3*, double clear at Advanced and lots of placings at intermediate level.

Super easy to do at home and at events, hacked out by his owner who’s mid 70s.

Lovely character and person.

Very good to shoe, clip, load etc

8yo mare by Chillout. Purchased direct from the breeder with producing in mind. Has never been rushed or pushed.

Athletic mare with three nice paces. This super mare has evented and placed successfully up to Novice level and showjumped up to Newcomers. Very easy to deal with away at shows. Hacks alone and in company. Snaffle mouth.

Having not been regulary eventing over the past few years due to other commitments this mare has looked after me and given me a great first full season back eventing. I will happily keep her for next year and try progress.

Flora shows lots of potential with a great trainable brain and a heart of a lion. Will progress nicely next season.

Please no time wasters. No novices. A super mare for an competitive rider.

  • Gentleman to handle in all ways

Fun, competitive horse who has evented up to 2* level and show jumped BS to 1m15. Well schooled, quick and careful show jumping and loves going XC.

He always wants to please and would suit a competent U18, junior or ambitious amateur. He hunted in a previous home and is easy to do in all ways. With us he has lived both at home with a shetland as companion and in a buzzy event yard.

Sound horse with good legs and feet - passed 5 stage vetting with full set of X-rays in July 2024 (X-rays available) - hacks well on roads and open spaces and has no vices.

Regretfully for sale through no fault of his own due to jockey giving up – price is not a reflection of his ability or temperament, just our wish to find him a lovely 5 star home!

While a straightforward ride, he is a competition horse and so needs a confident jockey with a good seat and quiet independent hands who wants to go out and have fun!

  • Last run - 3rd Swalcliffe BE100
  • Really easy going, safe and sensible
  • Competitive horse with super temperament
Lovely, kind and easy going type. Would make the perfect U18/top end PC/RC horse, her big selling point is her temperament. Really safe, sensible and reliable, would make a great mother/daughter share. Not silly or sharp, doesn’t need riding everyday and happy to live in or out.

Has three correct and rhythmical paces, naturally built slightly downhill but has really started to come up in front in the last 4 weeks and will now turn out a very nice dressage test and will continue to improve as she matures and gets stronger. This is also reflected in her jumping, which has improved significantly recently, has always wanted to leave the fences up but was just a little weak. Now happily jumping 1.10 at home. Cross country has always been very secure and straightforward, the phase she enjoys the most.

Good BE100 form and would have stepped up to novice by now, but rider broke his wrist over summer. Ridden by teenagers and amateurs at home, very good to hack and do events.

A homebred so full history known. Has had a sarcoid removed which is reflected in the price

Good to shoe, clip, load etc

2025 eventing record at BE100 produces an excellent dressage test, always sub 30 in dressage, natural moves very well and balanced, good self carriage.

Very well bred. Dutch passport. Sire is the wonderful showjumping stallion: Cellestial and he’s out of a dam with Voltaire X Heartbreaker bloodlines 

He’s a lovely jumper, making a good shape over a fence, using himself well and tidy.

He’s safe and level headed to ride.

Would be a good horse to produce on or have fun with. I think will be a competitive 120/130 horse in time.

He has wonderful foundations and a good brain and natural talent in all spheres. 

A fun little horse who is a pleasure to have around

Sad sale of super talented and kind horse

George has all the talent and willingness to be an asset to a professionals string or a serious junior/ YR horse. He has been slowly produced and allowed to run at a steadier pace to give him the best foundations to become a top horse in the future, he has lovely technique with plenty of scope to continue to a higher level. George is good with water/ditches/skinnies

Some of his 2025 results include:
• 29.5 DC Daunstey
• 32.8 DC Westwilts
• 31.3 DC Chard
• 31.3 DC Bovington
• 29 dr at Bicton

Hawksworth has taken my Son from ponies up to intermediate in two seasons jumping double clear and top 10 finishes including two wins. He has never had a xc penalty in the two years my son has ridden him . He completed all the under 18’s championships at 2*L and completed the junior national championships at Belsay. He has jumped clear at Newcomers/Fox hunter. Done all the schools teams and pony club jumping at Burghley.

He is an amazing jumper and loves it, very straight forward and easy to ride and would suit a junior coming off ponies or a competitive amateur or the American market. His record speaks for its self.

No vices, excellent to clip, shoe, load and he’s a gentle giant who is spoilt and is yard favourite. A pleasure to deal with at home and in competition.
