Bay gelding 5 years by Up with the Lark.

Good looking young horse has a lovely kind temperament.

He loves hacking out and is ready to bring on in any discipline .

He is totally wasted as his rider is living away at university and has completely lost interest .

He has been turned away for the summer and is now back in but unfortunately have no rider for him so he is not back in work. Hence VERY reasonable price.

He is up to date with farrier and vaccinations.

Plenty of videos available of him on request.

He is a cracking young horse that needs to be out doing a job.

Horse of a Lifetime- Golden Delight

  • Striking middleweight ID cross mare with fabulous movement in all 3 gaits
  • Forward responsive ride and loves to work. Never spooky
  • Amateurs Dream - safe and easy all respects

Golden Delight (Millie) combines the rare combination of presence and talent with a lovely safe and easy temperament making her the perfect horse for ambitious amateur rider.

She has 3 expressive, powerful paces and is a forward ride and lovely soft snaffle mouth. Millie is low milage as she has been allowed to grow into her frame and is therefore a little green for her age.

She still needs to learn to balance herself at times and currently needs her rider to help her stay connected, but she is a quick learner and loves her schooling.

She shows real ability to both collect and take the weight behind and extend and has potential for the higher levels. She is very focused and does not spook in the arena.

Millie has seen coloured fences and is bold and honest to a jump but she has not done much jumping and her forte is dressage.

Millie is good to hack out alone and in company and is polite and controllable in open spaces. Millie was imported from Ireland and could have very well hunted their but we have no proof of this. She does show all the attributes to be a top class hunter as she is not marish or bothered by other horses close to her. She also would be a fantastic horse for fun/beach rides etc.

Millie is polite and easy to handle, good to catch, box, shoe, clip etc; she is a kind and friendly mare who loves people.

She really is a horse of a lifetime for the right person and is only very sadly for sale due to current owners ongoing back problem. Not for someone very novice or nervous as she does have an engine and big movement.

Gelding By Island Commander

  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 4 years
  • 16.3 hands
  • Flashy mover
  • Desirable temperament
  • Scope in any sphere

If you’re looking for a classy youngster with a great temperament and the head turner for a model …. Look no further … he’s right here!

Meet four year old ‘Copper’ - stunning 16.3hh, Irish gelding. Chestnut with white socks and blaze - such a flashy model

Copper is a lovely person. Really easy to have in the yard. Lives in or out. Perfect to catch, beautiful stable mannerisms etc. He has a very trusting character and an easy person to work with , I think those two characteristics alone would see him do well in life. Had his first clip and I didn’t even tie him up, allowed me to do his face etc completely on my own , a true gentleman. Picks up all feet , stands for a bath, wearing rugs etc - extremely well handled and ready to go a job. Such a beautifully natured horse

Copper went for breaking earlier this year. Then returned to owner and was turned away for down time. I have recently purchased him with the intention of getting him under saddle again and producing him but I think I was a little over ambitious on how many hours there are in a day for one person. I’ve sat on him once and ambled around the yard. He was a saint

I plan to do much more with him if he is still here in a couple of weeks once I have made some more time but offering him at a smaller fraction of his value as he is now just due to being over stocked

Cop is a very light and expressive mover. Showing a natural range in trot with a super canter. We have loose schooled over fences and he is effortless and scopey. He makes me feel excited every time we work him , I do really think he will be so special for someone. Deep down I wish that someone was me!

I’ve long lined him in traffic and he seems unbothered , he’s a brave character who is easily reassured. He wants nothing more than ti please. He’s clean limbed , no vices , lumps or bumps, loads and travels well - just a genuinely lovely young horse

Not for a novice due to the obvious- very raw into education and just a baby who deserves someone ti give him good experiences and some fun. A nice horse with the basic foundations installed but still raw enough ti make your own and add your stamp

Will be a shame to see him go without doing more with him but I need to start being realistic with my time. Open to any inspection , delivery available also. A good home is a must for this special boy

Meet ‘Lucky’ - the charmer of the yard! Full of love , character , and mischief!! A big , athletic model of a horse standing at 17.1hh , 7yo. Retired from racing sound , vice , and injury free

Lucky is a lovely horse to have around. So low maintenance and easy to own , you don’t hear a peep from him. Easy to love and pamper , clip, bath, shoe etc - a super chap through and through!!

Luck is very well schooled on the flat. Makes a lovely shape , classy mover and straightforward to ride. Snaffle mouthed , forward and keen but not strong. Has previously done some low level dressage successfully

Loves his jumping , very brave , again is keen and committed but not strong. Not phased by fillers etc. Has taken part in unaffiliated show jumping and shown ti be very mannerly and sensible at shows. Has also attended clinics, riding club etc !

Hacks out like a dream. Probably one of my most reliable on the yard. Hacking along our 60mph main road daily , alone or in company and is always a total saint

Lucky was purchased earlier this year by my client as a first horse for her daughter. Unfortunately, he had proved to have too much engine for her and therefore they have sadly made the very difficult decision to let him go. Lucky is a cheeky chap and I think if he thinks you may let him take the mick then he is inclined to take that opportunity. (I’ve only seen this side to him when fresh and in the school only). However, lucky rides like a schoolmaster when I ride him so it’s pure cheek!! He just simply wants a rider and not a passenger. Understandable at his age , he wants to have some fun!!

A very smart and capable horse who comes with his tack. To include a beautiful fitted Kent and masters saddle in immaculate condition!

Meet ‘Cisco’ - beautiful 16.1hh, 5yo, TB gelding. Although is a TB, built and moves like a little warmblood!

Cisco is recently out of training straight from the trainer. Just not got the love for the job and therefore decided to retire him from racing to new pastures

Shown to be foot perfect to ride. Really straight and level headed. Three attractive paces with one hell of an eventing walk! Played around at an arena hire over coloured poles and although very green, he couldn’t have been more willing!!

A forward and responsive ride but not at all strong or sharp. Ridden in a snaffle with us

Enjoys hacking. Has obvious low mileage in this sphere but is very level headed and honest and always happy to be out and about weather that be alone in company

Loads and travels like a pro , good to catch and shoe. Is a real typical face puller in the stable although showing to be very harmless with it. He secretly likes a neck scratch and a kiss when his neighbours aren’t looking. He thrives off your authority and would be very easy for someone competent.

Ideal smart and nice natures project for someone

No novices due to his low mileage

Jack The Farmer’ - stunning 16.1hh , 9yo, TB gelding

Jack is the ultimate sweetheart of our yard. Extremely kind in all ways and loves to be around people. Loads and travels well, perfect to catch, easy to bath , stands for farrier etc - a genuinely lovely little horse to own

Jack looked to be a promising horse while in training with a win over hurdles and 4 NHF runs. However Jack had a little time out for common injury and just didn’t come back the same. It was estimated if they were to run him again he would not sustain soundness and so thought better of the horse and retired him from racing. He has had plenty of downtime and is ready now for new pastures. We have ridden Jack lightly with us out hacking and in the school a small number of times.

He has been golden under saddle. Works beautifully in the school - put some of my warmbloods to shame! To hack , he’s very bold and reliable. I find him a very comfortable sit and go kind of ride. Forward as you’d expect but very sane. I think he’d really enjoy a pleasure horse type of home where there is no pressure just pure love and enjoyment

He’s priced cheaply and cheerful due to not being in full work , having some down time and just wanting the right home for him.

Happy to chat more with serious enquiries - he’s a smashing chap. No vices , lumps , bumps etc. Fat , shiny and looking superb!!

  • WANTED elegant gelding 8 years upwards, 15.2hh - 16.2hh
  • For dressage, Elem / medium, hacking (mainly alone, side saddle showing and attending displays and demos

Experienced mature lady who longer wants to be a crash test dummy, looking for my next partner to ride into the sunset and spend time with.

Looking for a calm sensible character, who enjoys being with people.

Moves well with 3 correct paces, enjoys hacking alone and is unphased by large lorries, bug agricultral machinery and the other challenges of riding out these days.

Has experienced and unbothered by busy competition situations, such as county shows and area festivals etc.

Enjoys being the centre of attention and stay away parties.

Training to Elem / Medium, with a proven competition record at either BD or BE. No jumping required as I no longer do this.

Experience of side saddle would be nice but not essential, so long as side saddle can be tried, most horses who have a good brain and conformation, with no back / medical issues take well to the side saddle.

My horses live at home, on a small quiet private yard, with all year round turn out and with the company of my retired boy, this will not suit a horse that likes a busy yard with lots going on.

I ride and travel (7.5T lorry) to competitions on my own most of the time, so looking for a horse that is easy to do this with.

My horses have a home for life and want for nothing, sensible budget for the right horse.

Must be open to vetting a disclosure of medical history.

Please call 07702 059049 (Yorkshire).

Blue is a 10 year old cob standing at just over 14.3hh. He is for sale through no fault of his own as his elderly owner of the last 4 years needs a quieter horse and he needs a job!

Blue is established in all paces in the school and jumps for fun.

He hacks very well in company, but has not been hacked out on his own.

He is a forward going cob and needs a confident rider or he will try and mess about. Once you have the measure of him, he will do anything for you. Rides a lot bigger than he is, takes up the leg, rider in videos is nearly 6'.
He is happier in a consistent routine, the more you do with him, the better he gets.

He is not suitable for a nervous, novice or beginner as he can be quite strong at times.

Loves a fuss and a groom, will come to call in the field and easy to catch. He is extremely easy to handle on the ground, good around kids, dogs and other horses.
Currently has an individual paddock, but has lived out in a herd previously.

He is up to date with vaccinations, physio and teeth and is excellent to clip, trim (he is barefoot) and with the dentist.

He loads and travels well in a lorry, he has not been travelled in a trailer.

He prefers to live out with a shelter but has been stabled at night in winter.

Would make a great little hunting horse for the right person.


Please ask for additional photos or videos and to view

He will come with turnout rugs

Really kind loving mare who wants to please. She has previously jumped double clear up to Newcomers. Not at all spooky, very straightforward in the ring, very much point and shoot, has XC schooled, proving herself to be very bold, jumped everything asked, including ditches and went through water.

She’s a pleasure to have around, and easy to do on the ground, be that at home, shows or arena hires. Good for the farrier, to clip, loads first time, we’ve had her on forward and backward facing 3.5 and 7.5. Travels alone and in company, doesn’t mind if other horse gets taken off and left alone. Turns out with both mares and geldings.

Regularly ridden by a variety of riders, my mum who’s in her late 60’s regularly hacks her out, has been ridden by capable 12 year old. Hacks alone and in company, been on beach rides with previous home. Good in traffic and open spaces, doesn’t get strong or silly. She’s not the type who needs to be ridden every day to stay sane, she can miss a few days and get straight back on without having to worry.

As straightforward as she is, she wouldn’t suit a complete novice and she is forward going.

Captain is a 17.1hh, 12-year-old Belgian-bred gelding by Game Boy out of a Grandeur dam.

A true amateur’s dream and a top-of-the-range, gorgeous allrounder, he rides with clockwork consistency and presents a refined, athletic silhouette that makes riders look good with minimal effort.

Having spent most of his life in the same home, Captain has been correctly produced and cherished by an amateur rider. He is unmistakably top quality, and while a more ambitious or professional setting could have unlocked his full Grand Prix potential, his mileage has remained appropriately modest for his calibre. His temperament and talent are undeniable, and he is exceptionally polite both in and out of the stable.

Beautifully schooled with an eye-catching presence, Captain has exquisite paces, a head turning floating trot, and an incredibly comfortable canter. Established auto changes and a straightforward, rideable nature make him a standout for a rider seeking versatility and reliability. He would definitely be a top export opportunity for the USA with ease for hunters/equitation/jumpers and would slot straight into any program, poised to be highly competitive.

Captain consistently jumps clear rounds both show jumping tracks and cross-country courses with precision at 1.10–1.20m. He adapts to the rider’s needs, stepping up or down as required, and is always balanced, with a clear sense of his own stride.

Captain would thrive in pure dressage, eventing, show jumping, or even a glamorous addition to the hunt field. He is beautifully schooled, sensible, and impeccably mannered, hacking out alone or in company. He is polite, easy, and free from vices in every way.

Handsome, exceptionally talented all-rounder with the temperament to suit an amateur or professional program alike, Captain is a rare find, he is a privilege to own and an absolute delight to ride.

A 5* home is a must for this absolute gentleman.

Noodles came to me having just been backed as a 5 year old. For the past 2+ years she has proved herself a sensible reliable hack. Not much fazes her, excellent in even the busiest traffic crossing motor way bridges, dealing with farm machinery taking it all in her stride. We regularly box out with friends and ride all over Essex. She has been taken on several holidays where she settles readily. She is happy in front and behind with 3 comfortable paces. She is generally forward going but can be stubborn if she sees something she doesn’t like. Never spins or rears and will take a lead whether its another horse or me on the ground.

Noodles is incredibly nosey and spends much of her time taking in her surroundings. The past 12 months we have attended monthly pole clinics which she has taken to very happily, using both indoor and outdoor schools.
Noodles loves to stand and be groomed and is good with the farrier. She has always been barefoot and copes well with most terrain. She lives out 24/7 with a light rug, never been clipped. She loads like a dream and travels well.

Noodles is a mare and can be feisty, she can get excited in a big group so I tend to ride in pairs or on my own. She will occasionally put a buck in when cantering behind. Due to her age and inexperience she needs a confident rider who is prepared to work with her and continue her education. She has so much potential and will try her best when asked. A long term experienced home is sought for this genuine horse.

Arrived from Ireland at the start of 2025, Frank hasn’t not been rushed, ridden early spring, turned away to enjoy the spring and early summer before coming back into work well participating in a range of activities and currently in work.
He has a wonderful, kind temperament and is genuinely easy in every way, Frank has made a great start to his education:
Flatwork- Frank schools politely and always tries his best. Schooling in a snaffle, he goes up the paces going well off the leg and has a soft mouth coming down into the correct contact.
Hacking and riding out - Regularly hacking in company, Frank is brilliant around other horses, never hot or silly. He hacks alone well and is fantastic in traffic, regularly riding out on narrow country lanes meeting bicycles and cars through to Lorries and tractors. He enjoys riding through bridleways and fields and is willing to go where asked.
Trail hunting and other activities:
Frank really enjoyed hound exercise through late summer and took to trail hunting delightfully in the autumn and recently. Proving to be good with hounds, standing at the meet and behaving well in the field. He is easy to load and travel, to or from places and able to come away from the other horses, always pleasing his rider. Has also been to arena hires and a local fun ride.
Frank is popular on the yard, always got his head over the door for a scratch. As a young horse, he’s at that lovely stage where he’s absorbing everything and will continue to gain confidence and experience with his new person. This offers a brilliant opportunity for someone to put their stamp on him and enjoy bringing on a quality, straight forward youngster.
Frank has all the makings of a super all-rounder, family horse or hunter, and with the right home, he’s certain to become a much-loved and reliable partner.

He will ride and lead, and he’s very easy to keep fit. He doesn’t need daily riding and is no different even after a few weeks off.

Never been ridden in anything other than a snaffle, is not strong/sharp and doesn't pull.

Straightforward in every way: clips, baths, loads, shoes, and handles well. Low-maintenance and happy living in or out, alone or with others.

Owned since he was a 4-year-old, full history is known.

He doesn't enjoy schooling, but he loves hacking, beach rides, fun rides, and will happily pop a small log or two. Has hunted and was mannerly.

He has no quirks and is straightforward out hacking and is regularly hacked by my confidence novice friend.

He is slightly flexion positive on the right hind 1/10 sometimes, so he will not “pass” a vetting for someone seeking a competition horse, but will be fine for a hack/hunting pleasure horse happy to discuss further. His price reflects this as he would be in the 5's and he is offered as a fun, pleasure-riding/hunting type.

He is a beautiful quality horse who just wants to please and who is priced realistically.

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WALTER!

15h, 3 rising 4 years,this delightful young man has done nothing but impress us and make us fall in love with him since he arrived! 

He came over from Ireland in September, a timid little chap at first, but it was immediately clear that, although wary, he was a very gentle, patient and kind boy who wanted to be your friend. 

Walter has been backed and ridden away gently here with us, he has been an utter delight throughout the process and shown himself to be a sweet, genuine young man who, when you give him time to understand what you are asking of him, will put his best foot forward and try his hardest for you. The progression in his confidence has been nothing short of incredible, this absolutely shows me what a remarkable temperament he has. 

Currently standing at 15h with growing to do, rising 4 years old, Walter is a registered Connemara gelding and he is N/N for HWSD. He is a very smart model, definitely a mini horse rather than an overgrown pony, he is naturally uphill, carries himself in a frame and has three active paces while still being steady rather than sharp or quick. 

Walter is very sweet to deal with, loves any and all attention, stands tied up patiently for a brush, picks his feet up nicely and was good for the farrier, he leads in from the field in a bunch or on his own, he is good to tack up and stands like a rock at the mounting block. He doesn’t mind if he is left on his own on the yard or out in the field and he goes out with mares and geldings.   

Walter has not been rushed at all, he has only been in the school under saddle a handful of times and has been in a different arena away from home where he behaved beautifully, he is not at all spooky and is a more leg on type although still responsive. He is hacking happily around out through the fields, farm and village, he is happy to lead the way, jolly along behind or mooch along upsides without being worried about another horse next to him. He rides and leads well too. He always has a smile on his face. 

Walter’s education is shown in all the videos below which have been in the last few weeks, he is enjoying his work and always tries his hardest. You can safely get on him after a week off and he is the same lovely Walter, no need for lunging first and he always stands beautifully at the mounting block. 

Absolutely a performance pony in the making, Walter will be someone’s horse of a lifetime with his amazing, gentle, kind temperament, an absolute best friend once he knows you, his ideal BFF will be someone looking to get tons of enjoyment out of bringing on/teaching/progressing with a youngster over the winter, putting in the groundwork knowing he has had the basics done and not been rushed or overdone on his young bones. 

He has been out on the XC on the lunge, he went through the water and up and down the steps and banks without hesitation. In his winter woolies at the moment, he will be exceptionally smart in his summer clothes - such a cracking colour! 

BD/BS/Grassroots/Cotswold Cup, all of this is in this exceptional lads future with an experienced, confident and sympathetic jockey showing him what life is all about, although please, he has just started his education so he is not established as yet! 

Based here at Rabson Manor, SN4 9QF, the best way to get hold of me for a chat about Walter is to call/Whatsapp on 07888675300. Also please have a look at my Facebook page, Kerrie Fleming Horses for LOADS of posts and photos of him!
