Super 16.1hh Warmblood grey 2015 gelding with gorgeous paces and a lovely jump. Jay has previously been in a jumping home and had the same owner for 5 years, he was then sold to an allrounder home, offering lots of fun, cross country, hacking / fun rides / riding club etc, he loves a varied life and has good enough paces to go in the dressage boards.

He’s a lovely little horse, rides beautifully on the flat and works in a nice frame, with some lateral work and changes established. Jay is being sold as his current owner doesn’t have enough time to enjoy him, especially during the winter months. He has endless scope over showjumping fences, he’s bold XC, a lovely horse to hack out on his own and with others, he’s reliable in traffic, no matter how big.

He’s just a nice allrounder for someone to go out and have fun on, he would suit a teenager girl / mother daughter share, or with the type of jump he has I’m sure he would make a fabulous hunter.

Open to any vet or trainer.

Trial period available.

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.

  • Lovely Irish 6 year old
  • Stunning pedigree

We would like to introduce our lovely Norman . This is a lovely Irish six-year-old. With a stunning pedigree. 

Sire Arkan  / Arko / Argentuins 
Dam line Winged Love, In the Wings (Thoroughbred) 

So this lovely big gelding is 50% thoroughbred he is 6 years old and about 16:2 . We bought him from Ireland where he had done some riding club and cross country. I believe he is meant to have also done some hunting.

He is green for his age  so he wouldn’t be suitable to a novice but this goes without saying . He’s got a very good nature. He is very lovely in the stable.

He is nice to ride, he is easy to a fence and he is very genuine. 

He did his first British novice yesterday he was very genuine and honest . He is very good to hack.

He is very good to clip , he is fantastic to travel. Alone or in company. 

He is really good to load . He is a lovely horse who is going to make somebody very happy. But he needs somebody to give him time. And unfortunately, this is something we cannot do as we don’t have the time with the amount of horses we have.

He passed a full vetting when I bought him and he’s hoping to be vetted again . The price only reflects a quick sale to the right home. As this is a lovely horse. A real genuine person who deserves a loving home.

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

A jack of all trades in the making …
The looks , the temperament , and the ability
Meet ‘Ted’ - a compact and well put together 16.1hh , 6yo, ISH gelding

Ted has no lumps or bumps , no vices or health issues whatsoever
A very slight pigeon toe in front if you wanted to be critical - passed a two stage vetting with this and is of no clinical significance

A true gentleman to have around , you don’t know you have him! Slots into any routine and is an extremely laid back , happy go lucky chap!
Will turn out individually or in a mixed herd, happy to live in or out and always first to the gate to be caught.

Loads and travels like a saint on a trailer or a lorry

The perfect client for the farrier , super to clip, bath, groom tack up, plait etc

Ted is a real mover on the flat! Would go out tomorrow and do a beautiful little dressage test! Always snaffle mouth , works in a very natural outline and is self sufficient throughout the paces while always being beautiful to watch

I’d challenge anyone to find me a little horse who’s braver than this chap when it comes to popping a fence ! Never looks at any fillers , and height etc
He is uber careful and extremely reliable. He will always jump you out of trouble , never offended by a miss and more helpful than most ten year olds !! I don’t think he’s going to be a world beater but would go and take you around the meter tomorrow and not touch a pole. Has attended a handful of unaffiliated shows and was his usual consistent , reliable , and mannerly self.

Has hunted in Ireland and here is the UK with myself. Stood statue still at a very busy meet. Was bold and brave , jumped everything that was asked of him and remained totally sane , and textbook but a whole lot of fun! Opened all the gates , let me clamber back on and away to go. This is the best horse I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking on the hunt field. Snaffle mouthed , just impeccable mannerisms and took me over fences with me doing no piloting , just shutting my eyes and steering! What a champ!

Ted would be a super seasoned hunter , family horse , top level allrounder etc. As straightforward as he is , he is still young and can be a little green going up to the canter transition on occasion. Nothing at all nasty etc, just a baby! Although I think he’d take a novice , I feel he is suited to someone who wants a smart young horse to bring on and show the world but likes to know they are safe. He is 100% vice free and a lovely young horse.

Ted loves to hack out! Alone or in company , very easy and straightforward. Extreme bold in all traffic. Can be seen along the 60mph road outside our yard. As well as on the road , he’s the all round perfect gentleman on open spaces. Pops logs etc , stands at the mountain block … he really is an older head on young shoulders with a very bright future ahead of him
