Rosie – Fabulous All-Rounder. Approx. 14'3/15h mare. Perfect Mum & Child Share

Rosie is a lovely, genuine mare who makes a fantastic mum and child share.

She joined us over the summer, when my daughter has gradually brought her back into work, enjoying fun rides, farm rides, and hacking.

She has previously had a minor suspensory injury, however this has caused us no issues at all since owning her (with us since March 2025). She is sound, well, and absolutely loving life.

Rosie can be a little fizzy, but she is very kind-natured, genuine, and a pleasure to have around. I am a novice rider, and she has given me real confidence both in the arena and out hacking.

She enjoys show jumping and has jumped competently up to 85cm at local shows. With further time and consistency, she is certainly capable of more.
Good for the farrier
Good to clip
Happy living in or out
Hacks alone or in company

She is not a first horse, as she can be fizzy.

This is a very sad sale, only due to needing to raise funds for our other poorly horse. Rosie is much loved and will only go to a 5 star home.

Good home more important than price, so negotiable on price.

About Portia
Portia is a sweet, genuine 13-year-old 16hh mixed Portuguese sports horse mare (as per passport). She’s a lovely low-level all-rounder who enjoys hacking and a varied life. This is a sad, heartfelt decision, but finding the right long-term home is the priority.
I’ve had her for 5+ years and she’s done a bit of everything with me: low-level show jumping, schooling, hacking, fun rides, XC schooling, hunter trials and she has hunted previously. She can have the odd spook, so I wouldn’t describe her as a totally novice ride.

What she’s like
• Stunning Portuguese sports horse type
• Hacks alone and in company
• Good in traffic and sensible in open spaces
• Fine with dogs
• No vices
• Decent to catch when in a routine
• Good to shoe
• Good in the field
• Used to living out with mares, currently turned out with one gelding

Work and ability
• Works nicely on the flat in a good rhythm
• Basic schooling and lateral work, has done low-level dressage
• Jumped up to 80cm previously, honest and straightforward
• XC schooling, hunter trials, fun rides and hunted previously
• Has been out of consistent work for the past few months

Important note (being upfront)
Portia is not currently a reliable loader. She was recently in a loan home where they hoped to travel and compete, but they didn’t have the time to work through it. With patience and consistent practice, I believe this can improve (I travelled her every other week about two years ago), but I want to be transparent so she goes to a home that suits her.

Suited to
• Confident novice to low-level rider wanting a steady partner
• Hacking, fun rides, low-level dressage and low-level jumping
• A home that doesn’t need to travel often, or someone happy to invest time in loading

Not suited to
• Busy competitive home needing frequent travel right now (loading not consistent)

Health history (transparent)
• Previous ulcers, scoped clear 12 months ago
• One stifle injection previously
• No medical issues in the last 12 months
• Up to date with jabs

Guide price
£5,000 ONO (includes tack + full wardrobe)

I’ve tried to sell Foggy before, but cancelled the sale as we didn’t find the right home. Foggy isn’t just a horse, he’s part of our family - has been my absolute rock and my daughter’s partner, and letting him go makes me incredibly sad, but the reality is that I am riding less due to work, and it is now time to get my daughter the youngster she has wanted for a long time. So, as hard as this is the time has come to find him the home he truly deserves.

Foggy is a genuine, super all-rounder who has been shared between me and my 17-year-old daughter. He is never sick or sorry and will happily turn his hand to almost anything. He has competed in showjumping (up to 1.10) , arena eventing and cross country, comfortably jumping a metre and over in each discipline and will always look out for his rider. Given the choice, his absolute favourite is arena eventing and eventing. He sometimes goes off the wrong lead in left canter but this is rider dependent and a habit from previous owner.

He hacks regularly on the South Downs with me and the dogs, alone and in company. He stands patiently at gates, is happy to go in front or behind, and is an absolute BFG on the ground. He is easy to shoe, clip, load, travel and for the dentist, and is sensible and straightforward both at home and away.

Foggy truly excels cross country and arena eventing and is placed every time out. He is an exceptional horse, but please no novices. While he is kind and genuine, he is a sports horse and needs a rider who wants to do a job. We previously had to re-advertise due to a high number of novice enquiries, so please be realistic.

He has not hunted with us, but did hunt in Ireland as a youngster and I have no doubt he would love it. He has no vices. He had a minor wind operation when he was young, hence the name, but this has never affected his performance.

This is a very difficult sale and he will only be available to a (ideally private) five-star, forever home. Absolutely no dealers. No rush to sell and the right home is far more important than price.

Viewings welcome. Based in East Sussex.

Arlo is a great part of the yard – super friendly, kind-natured and very easy to have around.

He is happy living in or out and on his own or with other horses.

To ride, Arlo is an absolute pleasure. He is very much more woah than go, making him a comfortable and steady ride.

Arlo recently attended an unaffiliated showjumping show, and behaved perfectly! The busy atmosphere didn’t phase him at all, happy in the busy warm up and easy to handle in between.

He loves hacking and is rock solid in open spaces and in traffic. He hacks happily alone or in company and stands patiently while opening and closing gates.

Arlo has been ridden by many riders of different abilities, a super confidence giver - ready to get out and have some fun!

Many more photos and videos available.

Lovely Riding Club Horse. Very well mannered and uncomplicated RC horse. Brown Gelding, 11yrs, 15.3hh

Sailor has competed at RC level Dressage and SJ in Ireland with success and has lovely paces, a very good canter and works happily in a snaffle bridle.

He is calm and sensible in big open spaces and has been to Hunter Trials and XC schooling - not hot headed or strong - enjoys his jumping and is not spooky.

A very nice horse to hack out and he will go alone or with others, happy to pass any road or farm traffic.

Super kind and easy to do - he has a lovely sweet nature and is a real yard favourite. Very good to catch, will turn out easily with others, leads nicely and ties up without drama!

Good with the farrier, loads easily and is good to clip.

A very nice horse that could do any RC home and would be a good mum & daughter share.

Mocha - Searching for his forever home. He’s a super friendly chap who is searching for a low level riding club home 

Schools very well on the flat and would make a super smart dressage horse!
Has a very good change on him.

He will happily jump around a small set of fences we have jumped him over all colourful and rustic fences which he seems to enjoy

Mocha has a reduced price tag as he has had the wind tie back which was successful! And he does have a parrot mouth which is easily managed.

He’s a super smart horse for someone on a budget that wants to still enjoy hacking / schooling and a small amount of jumping

He hacks very well all around our farm and has been an absolute star in traffic 

He could easily be used in a riding school environment

Mocha has come back to us for re-sale due to his owners time commitments forces a very sad sale

Based in Hemel Hempstead
