  • Head turning model
  • Straightforward and easy

The is a mare I really should hang on to and do a good job of for double the money but there’s only so may hours in the day , and I’ve got a fair few sales liveries that must take priority

Therefore reluctantly offering her at a fraction of her worth just to make some room and free up some time on the Christmas wind down

16.1hh, 10yo , Hanoverian mare

RIDE & DRIVE 

Has a FEI and her normal book

Bonny is a little treasure to have on the yard. Easy and textbook to do absolutely everything with. Live in or out , real hardy type. Clipped and shod with us but due to lack of time she’s been turned out for the last month and just recently come back in during the flooding we’ve had

Loads and travels perfect , stood like a rock to shoe , perfect to catch etc - I’ve not found a fault with her

Been in the royal military - they felt she didn’t have the conformation to withstand the London job all day everyday and would be better suited to more of a dressage / all rounder home but did serve in there for some time

Has taken part in low level dressage / sponsored rides / show jumping etc during her time there

Has competitively driven abroad as well as in the military

We’ve ridden her a handful of times here. She is bloody beautiful in the school. The most incredible trot and self carriage. Was a leg on / leg in each corner type

Stood perfect at the block to mount etc

Hacked her out along 60mph roads , as well as off road woodlands and open spaces and she was tectbook

A very easy mare that if time allowed could be doing a lot with making her double the worth but realistically not happening this side of Christmas. If I still have her in the new year then I’ll take her out and do a lot with her before increasing her price to true worth

Based in Newport - would deliver her within reason or could arrange transport worldwide

  • 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 ‘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!!

  • Possible flatwork/dressage project for an adult

Lovely proven mare (she had a foal at 5 years old). Fantastic bloodlines.

She is sound and passed a 5 stage vetting in January.

Looking for a new home either as a broodmare or as a project, as she doesn't enjoy poles or show jumping, which current teenage owner wants to pursue.

She would be a fantastic project for an adult rider interested in dressage and hacking. She enjoys flatwork and has a lovely floaty trot. She would do a lovely dressage test.

Good to hack, alone or in company.

Not in work at the moment.

Very easy on the ground - easy to shoe and load, she gets nervous to clip but she can be clipped up to her head without sedation.

She is happy to live in or out and with mares or geldings.

A really lovely horse to have on the yard.

  • Dreamy Hunter with 3 seasons experience
  • Class allrounder, unreal over a fence
  • Confidence giving, fun type

Seasoned hunter, allrounder, riding club / fun horse. This very handsome 2016 16hh Irish (green book full recorded breeding) bay gelding is the real deal, there’s nothing he cannot do!

Apollo produces a beautiful test, he’s been in the dressage boards and schools beautifully, he has a lovely self carriage, comfortable and flashy paces and a soft snaffle mouth, he’s an excellent ride and isn’t remotely complicated in any way shape or form.

Apollo has done plenty of hunting, cross country, and showjumping. Hacking wise, Apollo is great in open spaces, good with heavy traffic, machinery etc, and he doesn’t change if he’s on his own or out with others. He’s a nice type, and will jump off any stride and will absolutely help you out if you get it wrong, he’s most certainly a confidence giver over fences and oozes scope, doesn’t look at coloured fillers / rustic fences etc, just the type to take you and look after you.

He’s a friendly lad in the yard and stable, confident and cuddly, easy to have around and a laid back personality.

Apollo is a true allrounder, he’s done a little bit of everything throughout life and is a nice quiet, yet talented ride. He has lots of hunting experience with three seasons under his belt but is equally happy doing riding club stuff.

Open to any vet or trainer

Talented, Genuine & Full of Character – 11yo 16hh Thoroughbred Gelding Jack — a smart, kind-hearted gelding who’s been a real joy to have around. He’s a talented all-rounder with plenty of ability and a big heart. We’ve had so much fun with him, and now we’d love to find him a confident, experienced rider who will enjoy him as much as we have.

Jack has a great record both at home and out competing. Most recently, he placed 2nd in a large combined training class, jumping a lovely clear and confidently tackling 12 cross-country fences. He’s been round BE90, takes everything in his stride, and is bold and genuine with ditches, steps, and water. Cross-country is definitely one of his happy places — he’s brave, straightforward, and always tries his best.

He’s also a pleasure to hack — happy to go first or last, alone or in company, and has a lovely balanced canter in open spaces. On the flat, he works nicely in a soft outline and listens well to his rider. He’s been to plenty of showjumping outings too, with placings at 90cm and 1m, showing both scope and carefulness over his fences.

Jack is a real gentleman to handle — easy to catch, shoe, load, and take out. That said, he’s a sensitive soul who thrives with a confident, kind rider who enjoys a horse with a bit of personality. He’s not a novice ride, but in capable hands he’s endlessly rewarding and great fun.

If you’re looking for a genuine, talented partner to enjoy both at home and out competing — someone you can really build a partnership with — Jack could be your perfect match.

  • Gelding

  • Dressage project
  • Teens horse
  • Potential eventer
Due to no fault of his own Thaayer is now on the look for his next home. Thaayer retired sound from racing in 2023 and since then has mostly been a happy hacker. He will hack happily alone and in company and will go first or last. Thaayer is perfect in open spaces and good with traffic. I’m yet to find something that bothers him.
He is not at all the spooky type.

Thaayer went showing at the start of May 2025, placing 2nd in an open ridden class. Showing isn’t something I have much interest in so he hasn’t done anything since.
Thaayer has a lovely flicky trot and is always keen to learn. He’s a horse that loves to work and will give anything a go. Thaayer would suit someone that wants a horse to go out and have fun with. He would do a lovely dressage test and probably suit a dressage home due to his lovely moments. He is still very green in the school but is a very quick learner.

Thaayer has done very little pole work and jumping. He can do it but he’s still finding his way about this and would need someone with the confidence and knowledge to take his jumping further.

Thaayer is only for sale due to my lack of time and lack of facilities. I don’t have an arena on my yard so I only have access to hacking. I believe Thaayer has the ability to do so well in either dressage or jumping if he was in the right home. He’s one of the best horses I could’ve owned but truly believe his talent is being wasted with me.

Thaayer does crib and can pull faces at dinner time. Has been groomer whilst eating and he doesn’t react.

Perfect for farrier, shod on all 4
Good to load, catch, bath, clip.

Has been handled and ridden by kids, he’s perfect around them!

Patrick is a genuinely unspoilt, 3 rising 4 year old gelding with a wonderful temperament. He is a true “dope on a rope” to lead and handle, and a pleasure to have on the yard. He is currently measuring at 15.3hh and has 10.5” of bone.

He happily lives in or out, and turns out sensibly with both mares and geldings. Patrick has loaded and travelled on a wagon several times without issue, and has been walked out in traffic and seen farm machinery.

Patrick is unbroken, ready for someone to produce their own way. He has a willing nature and steady outlook on life. With his temperament, he could excel as a future allrounder, safe hack, hunter, or even a therapy/RDA type with the right training. He’s a total blank canvas ready for someone to bring out his full potential.

A super friendly, easy going cob who will be a lovely project for someone wanting a genuine youngster with a bright future ahead. Cobs of this size, stamp and nature are increasingly hard to find. Patrick combines height, bone and presence with an exceptionally kind, easy going outlook.

Photos don’t quite capture him, and you’ll need to look past the winter woollies, but he’s going to mature into a seriously smart cob.

I have know him since birth and owned him until he was 7 I broke him in. He is a lovely chap lovely temperament and always willing to please.

We have hunted him he was good on the field stood at the meet good with the hounds and jumps everything. He has been around a course of fences nothing phases him like fillers or anything has 3 lovely paces . Currently being ridden by a 15yr old girl .

In his current home for the last 3 years he has been on a farm so used to all animals and machinery hacks out alone or in company first or last.

I think he would prefer a active home doing a bit of everything. He is low mileage for his age so would suit more a confident experience rider.

Pringle is an 8 year old chestnut mare by Nathaniel (IRE)- Solita (USA)

A Beautiful big strong stamp of a horse, plenty of substance and a beautiful head. She is a type that is difficult to find.

Pringle has recently retired from racing with no injuries or vices and is truly a sweet, straightforward mare. She is very intelligent and has taken to her re-schooling very well, proving to be a smart contender for ROR. Pringle is a responsive but sane ride. She has just been introduced to coloured poles and shows great ability over a small fence. She is good to hack and has seen traffic. No doubt this mare will excel in any discipline.

On the ground, Pringle has great stable manners. She is kind, polite and a pleasure to handle. She’s happy to be turned out alone or with other horses, respectful of electric fencing and is not mareish. She’s tidy in her stable, loves her food and always clears up her hay.

Pringle is looking for a kind family to call her own and continue producing her into the superstar she will be. Alternatively, she has attractive enough breeding to be a broodmare.

Cisco is a lovable, kind boy looking for his best friend to enjoy lots of cuddles and have fun. This lovely homebred chap has been professionally backed and schooled and is ready to get out there and strut his stuff! He is an absolute sweetheart to handle, great to load on the horsebox, currently unshod as fab feet and good for the farrier, and fine with the vet.

He has been schooling really well, quick to learn, can do a nice leg yield and a shoulder in. He is full brother to our lovely Frank who is currently competing and winning at Advanced Medium dressage. We’ve jumped him a couple of times and he absolutely loved it! He’s hacked in company around our gallops and was well behaved when cantering with others.

He’s been to arena hires and was a really good boy.

We think he would be perfect for a competent amateur who wants a little pocket rocket to do a bit of everything. Due to his age no novices and 5 star homes only please.

Stunning dun & white cob

Tyson has got one of the nicest temperaments you will ever find in a horse. He loves having fuss and attention and will stand to be groomed and pampered for hours. He’s definitely a yard favourite here such a mannerly young cob!

He has a great laid back temperament and Will let you get on from mounting block or ground.

He is a great allrounder and will turn his hoof to anything asked of him. Although he is young he has started his education with his schooling and he is coming along nicely with three lovely balanced paces. He would go out and do a nice dressage test. We have also jumped him over some fences at home where he has proven him self to be a very honest careful jumper.

He is good to hack alone or in company. Not phased by farm machinery or any traffic you can hack him on the busiest of roads.

This cob is top quality and one that will go far!

He is good to do in all ways

No lumps or bumps
