Loving Family Looking for First Horse – Leicestershire

Disheartened but hopeful mum searching for our first family horse. We're based in Leicestershire on a wonderful yard with fantastic hacking and instructors on-site.

We're looking for a genuine, kind-natured horse to be a mother-daughter share.

My 13-year-old daughter is a quiet and sensible rider who mainly has riding school experience, and is now ready to do a bit of everything — hacking, schooling, local shows, sj, xc, pc etc
And for me (mum), a bit rusty but competent. Mainly interested in schooling and hacking these days.

What we're looking for:
Age: Ideally 7–10
Height: Around 15hh–15.3
Temperament: Safe, steady, not sharp or spooky please - got to love being pampered & fussed. No strong or heavy types please.
Must be good to do in all ways — farrier, loading, catching, traffic, etc.
Must enjoy a varied life and be happy living on a friendly, active yard.

We're offering:
A loving, committed home with experienced support
Excellent facilities, fantastic hacking
A horse that will be truly part of the family (little sister is also ready & waiting to take up the reins!!)

We’re happy to travel within reason for the right horse.

Please get in touch if you think you might have the horse that will complete our little team!

Do you want a safe, fun, reliable horse to look after you and fill you with confidence? Here he is.

After 3 amazing years of owning Jim it is time for him to find a new person to fill with confidence.

Jimmy is the type of horse you would stand behind all day. You name it he has done it.

A complete gentleman to hunt, stands at every meet quietly and finds a nice stride for you every time, jumped hedges, ditches, rails and will go up front or behind

A machine to take XC, will pootle for you or switch up a gear if you want it, no problem with anything I have pointed him at.

Competed regularly at local SJ competitions, he has picked me up so many red rosettes over the years, competed on a ticket BS British Novice, absolute joy to take round. Recently placed Champion at Kelsall Hills Summer League showjumping and also Dean Valleys Eqcouture in classes 90-100cm. Placed in the top 10 at Aintree for their National showjumping championships.

Successful this year dipping our toe into Working Hunter, winning his classes.

He was also recently being placed in the top 5 in two HOYS qualifiers on his first attempt.

Completely safe on the beach, fun rides, to hack alone or in company, not phased by traffic. Completely unflappable.

An absolute brick to handle, clip, shoe, load, travel, ride and lead, and faff with. The type of horse you could take out by yourself and tack up on the side of the m60.

Jimmy passed a 5 STAGE VETTING Monday 4th August 2025 - buyers pulled out due to a cosmetic splint that has never caused him a day of lameness. Completely sound in all areas including flexion tests and lunge on the hard.

Please calls only I have had many time wasters. This is a seasoned teenage horse. If you are interested please arrange to view.

Up to date with vaccs, physio and dentist.

This very special boy will only go to a very special home. He is adored by everybody who meets him. Many videos, pictures and references available.

Kylo is a much loved homebred by the dressage stallion Santo Hit (By Sandro Hit)

He was lightly broken as a 3yo and was then given time to grow, recently coming back into work and progressing well.

Kylo is snaffle mouthed, comes back to your voice and is a laid back character. He has an expressive trot and powerful canter that would suit the dressage arena.

He has been to arena hire, has seen fillers and shows a nice technique. He has seen traffic, farm machinery, sheep, cows and dogs. Kylo is more confident hacking with others but I do hack him around the farm on his own.

Kylo is only available due to owners personal circumstances and so we are looking for a confident person to see him thrive. He is not sharp but is still green so would not suit a novice, he has been ridden by a 13yo on the flat who loved him

Warrier, a stunning 4-year-old lightweight cob gelding currently standing at approximately 15.1hh, expected to make 15.2hh to 15.3hh once fully matured. With a calm, kind nature and an honest way of going, Warrier has been a true pleasure to have on the yard.

He’s had a varied and positive summer with us, taking part in beach rides, fun rides, riding holidays, and happy hacking. Warrier is balanced in all three paces and has a good foundation in basic flatwork. He’s a naturally forward ride who takes his rider to a fence and shows plenty of scope, making him a joy over both show jumps and cross country fences.

He has enjoyed a few local clear rounds, has a great attitude to work, and loves his cross-country schooling. Warrier hacks alone and in company, is sensible in traffic, and shows no signs of napping, spooking, rearing, bolting or bucking.

This genuine boy would make a fabulous mother-daughter share, or suit a competent teen or small adult looking for a fun, safe and versatile cob to bring on. Due to his age, he wouldn’t be suitable for complete novices, but his temperament is second to none – he’s the sort that’s hard to find.

With further schooling, Warrier could even make an ideal riding school or RDA type.

Betty Boop is a 15.1h, 7yr old mare with the kindest nature for all of the family to enjoy

She is easy to do in every way, loves attention, is good to shoe, box, clip, vet etc. She will live alone or in a herd, she is not mareish.


Out hacking Boops is anyone’s ride, she is not spooky or silly, alone or in company. She is a forward ride and will go up front or behind. She is extremely safe and has taken novices out around Cirencester park and pub rides.

Boops still needs to further her education in the school ; however she is very willing to learn and shows fantastic potential in this area. She has lovely straight paces and a “can do” attitude with everything you ask of her,

While she is safe and sensible for the more novice rider to enjoy out hacking (and the basics in the school) she is no kick-along plod, she is a lovely responsive yet sensible ride for the more experienced jockey to enjoy and have fun with too,

Since owning Boops, she has come on so well in a short space of time. She works well over poles and is starting to make a lovely shape on the flat and jumps a fence with ease.

Beautiful 14.3hh 12year-old Welsh Section D Bay Mare - Bryna Eve (stable name Bonnie)

Bonnie is for sale through no fault of her own this is an extremely heartbreaking decision, she is just too much for my daughter, who is over horsed and has lost her confidence with her.

Not suitable for a novice Bonnie is a typical Welsh, she will take time to trust you but once she does, she is a loving mare. She takes her confidence from her rider, so needs someone who understands that.

We have mainly just been hacking with her as my daughter is a bit unbalanced schooling and Bonnie requires a calm and well-balanced rider. She has 3 lovely paces and works beautifully in the correct hands. She needs a job with a confident rider.

Good to catch / load / bath / shoe / clip. Turns out with mares and geldings.

Excellent in traffic seen tractors, lorries etc and nothing fazes her while out hacking, will go alone or in a group first or last.

UpToDate with dentist, vaccinations and physio, shod on all feet.

Bonnie will not just go to anyone new home will be vetted by us, and we would want to stay in touch. She was meant to be our forever horse which is the type of home we would be liking her to go to.
