ARPÉGE DE BLAIGNAC – The Ultimate Dressage Schoolmaster & Gentleman

ARPÉGE DE BLAIGNAC – The Ultimate Dressage Schoolmaster & Gentleman


Ref #: 391786

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

  • 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.

15.2hh 14 year old bay KWPN mare (Stakatto x Quickstar lines) so impeccably BRED TO JUMP and that SHE CERTAINLY DOES!!!

Too many results to mention but this little mare has competed to BE Novice/1* including multiple DCs at 100 and Novice. Qualified for BE Novice Masters 2021-2022 and jumped clear inside the time and finished top 25 at her first international at Blair 2021 and has team chased with a previous owner. Recently qualified for NSEA and Pony Club Championships. She lives to jump a fence, careful, reactive, turns on a sixpence and has INCREDIBLE TECHNIQUE over a jump!!. She hacks alone and in company – prefers being at the front. Has done Unaff dressage up to Novice.

Good to shoe and clip. Lives in or out with mares and geldings, currently living out all year round.

Behaves well at all shows including overnight stays.

I feel she would be suited to a showjumping home primarily or fun all-round, her preferred height is 80 and 90cm but will drop down a height with no issues, but she is a Ferrari to ride and therefore no novice riders please. Unfortunately my son has now reached over 6 foot and looking for a larger horse to compete. She is an out and out tough girl with the heart of a lion, I absolutely adore her, she is the best fun to ride and jump on a daily basis, her nickname is Fancy Nancy as she is a beautiful mover and a head turner!

A real Alpha Mare character who will pull a face when tacking up or rugging but once she gets to know you likes cuddles when she deems you her acceptable human and has gained your trust, will allow you to brush her for hours. She has been given the best of everything and will only be sold to a 5* home who will love and appreciate her.

Reasonably priced as the right person and pairing is my priority. Small sarcoid on chest which does not affect her in any way. We have found that she does not travel well in a forward facing trailer however prefers to travel rear facing or in a lorry. Reflected in price. Comes with lots of rugs.

3* Schoolmaster All-Round Event Horse

  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • 3* debut last season
  • Win at Wellington International 2024 Novice level
  • Double clear Newcomers, competed to Foxhunter BS

Carefully and slowly produced with low mileage for his age, Jack is a classy, experienced horse with a superb temperament and plenty more to give. A genuine, brave and straightforward ride who makes the job easy, he is the ideal partner for a confident rider wanting to learn from an experienced horse. He would happily step down levels to teach his rider and equally enjoy an all-round non competitive home.

Jack has an impressive record, having successfully competed up to Foxhunter (1.20/1.30m BSJ) with consistent double clears, and evented up to 3*. He combines flashy movement with a bold, careful jump and is particularly direct and confidence-giving cross-country.

Key Attributes:
Reliable & Safe - A true gentleman in every way
Bold XC machine - Brave, honest and confidence-giving
Established flatwork - Soft and rideable, mostly snaffle-mouthed in all phases
Easy to Handle - Polite to shoe, clip, box, hack (alone or in company), and lunge
Consistent Dressage - Regularly scoring in the low 30s

Suitable For

YR / PC / RC / Cotswold Cup riders seeking a competitive, experienced partner.
Not suitable for beginners or nervous riders - requires a confident, secure rider ideally confident jumping 90cm- 1m.

I purchased Jack directly from his breeder as a 5-year-old and he has been an exceptional partner. This is a very sad sale due to a change in personal circumstances and he will only be available to a 5 star home.

Fit, in work, and ready for the season following his winter break.
Sound and open to vetting (age-appropriate advisories expected and reflected in price).

Based near Cheltenham

Tilly is a 7 year old mare by Cavalier land out of an Imperial Hights mare. I have had Tilly since a 3 year old and she has been very fun and straightforward to produce. She is quick, clever and extremely trainable. Tilly always wants to please and has an excellent temperament.

Her consistent results prove this. She has been consistently double clear and placed at novice/2* level this year gaining 28 ei points. Some highlights include: 6th place in the CCI 1* Milstreet International and the CCIYH2* at Lisgarvan International and also winning the EI110 at Clonmahon horse trials.

Tilly is a very uncomplicated ride wearing a snaffle in all 3 phases. She’s very rideable, careful and brave. She is currently jumping 1.20s and is working well at her 3* movements and is ready for her step up to 3 star this season.

No vices or veterinary issues

Unfortunately due to college commitments this year she is up for sale.

Darcey is a beautiful black mare, with amazing potential for eventing or SJ.

She is competing at Newcomers BS and has competed at 1* with many double clears and placings at BE100/105. Personal reasons have meant she hasn’t done as much as I would like, but means she is low mileage!

Darcey is super easy to do, clip, load, shoe, travel etc and I often take her to shows on my own and she is a dream.

She is very straightforward and takes everything in her stride, and would make someone a super competitive horse for the future.

Darcey is very uncomplicated on the flat, and is working at 2*/intermediate movements at home. She is super chilled in a competition environment and always catches the judges eye!

Would suit a junior/young rider looking for future team selection.

Very very sad sale, so serious enquiries only please.

Aka - Teddy. Is a superb fun, amateur friendly horse. One I have a huge amount of fun on at home.

Teddy has 3 well balanced flashy paces, is schooled well to advanced medium on the flat. Has experience eventing but has proven a little spooky on the xc. He has show jumped to 1.35 happily schooled to 1.45.

However he is most comfortable around 110-120cm.

He is well suited to a gutsy teenager. Will go from any stride, and has a kind jump.

Perfect for someone to take out and jump in the bronze league qualifiers, blue chips etc.

Super easy horse on the ground, great for farrier, box, clip etc.

No joy riders. Priced for quick hassle free sale

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 18 BE points on his card so is still eligible for novice and will step up a level in the Spring. He is a nice person with good manners on the ground and is one of the sweetest horses on the yard.

Kanga is a lovely, kind, quality horse who has previously evented up to intermediate level.

She has more recently lost her love for the show jumping phase so we feel she would suit a dressage/hacking home but equally still enjoys her cross country and is happy jumping smaller fences.

She is a great mover and has three correct paces. Regularly in the 20s at BE events and she has also done some BD, winning at elementary and medium level.

She is fantastic out hacking both alone and in company and is great with all traffic.

Very sad sale of a much loved family horse so please no time wasters. Only for sale as she no longer meets her owners needs.

Recently passed 5 stage vetting end of November 2025.

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.

  • 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
