ARPÉGE DE BLAIGNAC – The Ultimate Dressage Schoolmaster & Gentleman

ARPÉGE DE BLAIGNAC – The Ultimate Dressage Schoolmaster & Gentleman

  • Established at Advanced Medium
  • Confident performer
POA
  • Selle Francais
  • Fleabitten grey

  • Kind, genuine schoolmaster
  • Established at Advanced Medium
  • Confident performer

Meet Arpége, a true professional with a golden temperament and a wealth of experience. With three expressive, uphill paces and a naturally balanced way of going, he is a joy to ride every day.

Having successfully evented up to 4* level in France, Arpége has seen and done it all. However, he’s now ready for a new chapter — one that allows him to channel his talent, elegance, and education into pure dressage, where he truly shines.

This is not a sale through injury. Arpége loves his work and enjoys his jumping, but it’s clear his heart now lies in the dressage arena. Confidently established at Advanced Medium level, he has competed in big atmospheres and always carries himself with grace and presence.

He would be the ideal partner for a rider who wants to learn the movements, build confidence, and gain competition experience on a horse who is both talented and kind. Whether you’re aiming to move up the levels or simply want to enjoy the feel of a well-schooled, generous horse, Arpége is the perfect teacher.

A very sad sale of a much-loved horse, so only the best 5* home will be considered.
Open to full vetting.

A true gentleman ready to share his wisdom and begin a new chapter in the dressage arena.

Wispa is a 3 year old mare (4 in April) currently standing at approximately 16hh.

Very sweet nature, loves attention & fuss.

Her sire is Grand mariner that is out jumping 4*.

Her dam is a thoroughbred that is a fun all rounder.

She was bred & professionally backed by an event rider in June last year, she was very good to do.

I spent the summer lightly hacking her & then in November turned her away from riding but I have continued to long rein & lunge a couple times a week just to keep her ticking over through winter (when the weather allows) once the weather improves & she’s ridden again her price will go up as her education progresses.

I have decided I want something older that I can do more with now (2 kids & not enough time)

She has travelled in a trailer with the breeder a couple of times no problem & has been in my 7.5 lorry when I bought her.

She is shod in front-very good to do.

Has been turned out alone (horses in fields close by) currently turned out with a gelding.

Has lived out in the past, currently stables at night.

She has seen the physio, osteopath, dentist, saddler, up to date with vacs-very good for all.

This lovely 8yr old gelding has evened up to BE100. Has been ridden by both men and girls.

Absolutely lovely to handle on the ground.

Straight forward to ride on the flat and makes a nice shape over a fence. He is not going to make an upper level horse but is a beautiful horse for someone wanted to have a fun competitive time doing lower levels.

KHAN – International Team Prospect or the Ultimate Tall Teen Schoolmaster

Dressage marks as low as to 22 • Glorious snaffle-mouthed XC ride • 4/5* potential

Khan is a truly special horse—one I had fully intended to keep and produce to 4 or 5* myself. He has been a dream from day one, but with a yard build to fund, this once-in-a-lifetime horse is reluctantly offered for sale.

Owned and produced by me since a rising 4-year-old, Khan has been allowed the time he needed to grow into his big frame. Despite his size, he rides like a compact, athletic machine—light, responsive, incredibly balanced, and always on-side.

Cross Country – The Most Fabulous Snaffle-Mouthed Horse You Will Ever Ride

Khan is the sort of horse riders wait years to find. He is effortlessly adjustable, brave, clever, and unbelievably genuine.
•Locks onto his flags and stays laser-straight.
•Sets himself up beautifully, wasting no time.
•Never strong, always in a simple snaffle—and will never need more.

He is, without doubt, one of the most glorious XC rides I’ve ever sat on—and I’ve had some very special ones.

Dressage – Elegance, Trainability & Scores to Win

Khan has three exceptional, expressive paces and the balance to match. He is light off the aids, naturally uphill, and a total pleasure to produce.
•Dressage scores as low as 22.
•Multiple placings in very few runs.
•A horse who genuinely enjoys the job and always pulls out a classy test.

Judges love him, and so does absolutely everyone who meets him.

Showjumping – Careful, Athletic, Confident

He has matured into a seriously scopey horse, consistently improving and showing the ability for much more. In his first start at Intermediate at Osberton, he was clear SJ (one of only 8 clears on the day) after top 10 dressage start. Same track as 3*.

Results & Progression
•3rd, Allerton Park Novice (DC)
•28 DC to start the 2025 season at Burnham Market Novice
•2nd, IN at Tetworth to finish the season

•4th , Catton Park Novice (DC) 2024 (25 DC)
•8th Bishop Burton Novice
•5th Norton Disney Novice

Plans for 2026 would naturally be 3* S & L, and Blenheim 8/9-year-olds.

Team Potential – The Real Deal

Khan has everything required for:
• Young Riders,
• Nations Cup teams,
• Asian Games, or
• A professional aiming at 4/5*.

Equally, he could be the ultimate, confidence-giving Novice/2* schoolmaster for a tall teen: generous, correct, and kind enough to teach while talented enough to take them all the way, or a dressage horse for upper levels. Already begun clean changes, and ready for success at BD Adv-med and beyond.

Khan is a gentleman to hack, handle, clip and travel. He’s also enjoyed days out with the Quorn—impeccably behaved and great fun.

Genuine, Heartbreaking Sale

He has a full set of X-rays on record and is open to any vetting. The only reason this incredible horse is for sale is to fund my yard build. He is very much a once-in-a-generation type, and will make someone’s dreams!

Very athletic with uphill paces, super movement and natural cadence. 

He thrives on learning new things and loves to show off! 

Working well in lateral work and mediums.

Could easily affiliate and be very competitive.

Show jumping is in his blood and he finds this phase easy, clear every time out, with loads of scope to go up the levels.

Currently competing at BS and soon to step up to newcomers. so much fun to jump, forward going but snaffle mouth.

Bold and enthusiastic XC, jumping multiple D/C’s at BE100, he will step up to Novice next season.

A true competition horse that has an exciting future ahead of him. 

5* Competition home for this talented horse.

Sadly only for sale due to financial reasons.

DOES YOUR CHILD (OR YOUNG LADY) WANT TO WIN?

DO THEY LIKE TO BE TAKEN TO A FENCE

MAKE THEIR DAY ... LET THEM SIT ON A REAL MACHINE!

Toby, although only 12, has done it all.

He went from starting BE 90, with a child debutante, he went up to intermediate tracks in under 2 years.

Not suprisingly, things went wrong. I took him on as a potential teamchaser, but soon realised what a class horse he was.

3 years on he has been competing UA showjumping and eventing and giving a totally inexperienced child the time of her life. He was champion 90 showjumping in the Oakingham winter league and was 2nd in open 90 eventing recently scoring a 27 in the dressage.

He has done 2 BE events and been placed in both, now that he does a sensible, reliable test. Last weekend he qualified for the PC regional and the Horse Events final with another child rider.

Chilled out and relaxed through the drop in grade, he is now super confident and has discovered the art of flatwork. He is now ready to take an educated junior (coming off ponies?) to enjoy the transition to small but powerful horse.

He will take you to a fence so he is NOT suitable for a child coming off a kickalong native pony.

He might suit a competitive child coming off a competitive BS pony.

Up to date with everything and ready to go straight out and give someone the thrill of winning.

Belle is a 16.1hh 13yo Mare.

By Clevedon Beau Bear out of China Crisis.

She started eventing in 2022 and has competed up to Novice.

She was produced by a professional and now is ridden by an amateur on a professional yard.

She is registered BSJ and jumped up to Newcomers.

She excels in cross country and will give her next rider huge confidence in this phase as she has done for me.

Belle hacks out alone or in company.

She would be best suited to a quieter yard.

Not suited to a beginner rider.

She does crib.

Sushi  (Wolf Valencia) - 16.1, 12 year old bay Irish mare.

Sushi is for sale on behalf of a client. She has been in a family home for the past year

They bought her from the breeder so full history is known. She has been doing all pony club activities and has also previously evented to 1* very successfully. She is beautiful and very uncomplicated on the flat, a cross country machine and showjumps very well!

Sushi is great hacking alone or in company - she is easy at home and at shows.

She can be slightly spicy to jump and can throw the odd excitable buck but is never nasty she just loves her job !! She would suit an ambitious rider wanting to go out and have fun.

Lowest 5 figures comes with all tack and rugs, 5 star home is a must for this much loved horse

We’ve owned and produced ‘Jolene’ since a 3 year old. She’s been slowly produced, starting her as a 5yo when she showed such talent she was lightly competed, then turned away again. Covid, then she threw splints, so we decided to put her foal. She’s given us two fabulous offspring, and now it’s her turn to show just how fabulous she is!

She’s is schooled so beautifully, and would go straight out at Elementary. Her paces are just dreamy.

Joli is straight and genuine to any xc fence, staying on her line, looking for the flags. She’s ready to Novice straight out next season BE, and would progress easily up all the levels very quickly with an ambitious amateur or professional.

She’s such a kind horse, easy to ride and do in all ways, she’d be equally suited to someone who’s ambition is to stand on podium in the number one spot at the Cotswold Cup, Badminton Grassroots, BD’s championships!

Good to load, travel, stand on the truck at competitions, clip, shoe, etc, etc

Excellent trial facilities, located in the heart of the Midlands.

Joli is a kind and rideable horse, but she’s powerful with lots of scope, and big paces, therefore she’s not suitable for a complete novice.

British bred, entire history known. Damline has horses out competing at 4* & 1.40m.

  • The Perfect Event horse to take your child to top of every discipline. Always very competitive
  • She is fun, safe and loved by all the family and will always try her best

It is with much sadness that our family has come to the decision to sell our beloved horse Chiara who we have had since she was 5 years old. She is fun, safe and loved by all the family and will always try her best. She has given my daughter years of fun and success. We purchased her as a pony that grew into a little horse. She is the perfect transition onto horses and always wants to please. It is very sadly time for her to propel her new rider to the top and be loved and enjoyed by the next budding PC, BE or Dressage rider who is keen to be in all the teams and win lots of prizes.

Her record speaks for itself. Winning numerous BE competitions and usually placed in the top 5. Chiara represented the Eastern BE U18 Eventing Team two years running winning team silver. She represented her PC branch and school in SJ, Dressage, Arena Eventing, and Eventing winning her PC section twice and qualifying for the championships in all disciplines every year since 2016.

Chiara attended residential Pony Club camp. She is happy to stay away at shows and most weekends are spent training or competing. She is fit and ready to go, a XC machine, and is beautifully trained with many trainers saying she could do very well in BD too.

Good to shoe and clip, hacks alone and with company, can happily ride and lead and has no vices. Up to date with vaccinations, routine back check, massages and teeth. She is fit, clipped and ready to compete. Has had ulcers in the past but easily managed (most do / have but the seller never tells you).

Only reason for sale is that our daughter is now working long hours in London for the last 18 months, so does not have enough time to compete to Chiara's full potential.

If you want to start your horse career at the top this is the horse for you.

We will only sell to the right family. Chiara is such a special horse that she deserves the right home.

Also Bretherton 12T horsebox for sale. Call for details
