16.3hh, 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding (2015), by Carrick Diamond Lad. Excellent breeding, lovely temperament, and proven ability make him an ideal competition partner.

Competition Record
• Established Novice horse with Top 10 placings.
• Scope and ability to progress further through the levels of Eventing.

Performance
• Honest, careful showjumper with plenty of scope.
• Bold and confident XC – locks onto fences and takes everything in his stride.
• Three eye-catching, flashy paces with correct, uphill movement.

Temperament & Manners
• A delight to handle: easy to clip, shoe, load, and travels well.
• Hacks alone or in company, sensible in open spaces.
• Genuine, kind nature both on the ground and under saddle.

This horse has talent, trainability, and a fantastic attitude. He will suit a competitive rider wanting a straightforward, quality partner to move up the levels.

Offered only due to university commitments and through absolutely no fault of his own – a very sad sale of a much-loved horse.

Fantastic prospect who shows huge ability and a fantastic attitude towards his work/education

He has mainly been hacking with the odd schooling/jumping session, allowing him the necessary time to mature and enjoy his work life rather than being drilled endlessly. He is now ready for the next step in his education

Beautiful floating paces, an athletic jump, with a natural want to go forwards

Recently he has been cross country schooling. Jumping ditches, steps and water taking it all in his stride

Super kind nature and a wonderful temperament to die for, totally unspoilt and a complete pleasure to be around and ride

Hacks out alone or in company, he has regularly been hacked out by my partner who has only ridden a handful of times

Snaffle mouthed

Would suit amateur or professionals

3 expressive uphill paces, bold scopey

Been done slowly and carefully to allow her time to mature. Still green but showing huge potential to excel in any sphere. She has been XC schooling she was super bold jumping ditches going through water with confidence.

Been to arena hires, clear rounds, lessons.

She hacks alone and in company happy in front or behind. I Hack her out with my 8 and 10yr old children and she happy sitting behind if they canter off or leading the way.

She’s grown up around children, dogs, farm machinery.

She got enough about her to take her to the top of any discipline.

Not a novice ride due to her age. Needs an experience rider for her to reach her full potential.

Ready to spend the winter getting out and about and seeing the world ready to have fun next season. Good to load and with farrier currently just has fronts.

Does have some small sarcoids which are reflected in her price she would be double this without them. Chance to own a top quality horse at a bargain price.

Gutted to sell this Mare but I just don’t have time and just going into a very busy time at work.
I have enjoyed doing a host of things this summer and she has really come on SJ.

She will be a nice project to work on this winter to event next summer

She doesn’t need loads of work. She is easy to tick over and twice a week I just lunge her for 15 mins.

She enjoys flat work and has a very light mouth and 3 nice paces.

She has lots of scope it’s just doing more to gain experience.

She loves XC and just needs a bit more work through water and over ditches. I do most things on my own so don’t want to push those things without a lead.

Novice Team Chasing would really suit her

Hacks alone or in company

She needs a confident rider as she is enthusiastic and can have a fun buck. She is strong when jumping as she loves it.

She loads great on trailer and lorry.

She is good to clip and shoe

Loan with view to buy is fine as long as your situation is right- ie you have a stable and a confident rider.

Bargain at £2500 with lovely tack and rugs included

Perfect came to me earlier this year where she had been backed as a 4 year old and turned away to mature.

We have brought her back into work where she has proved to be super easy to deal with in and out of the stable.

Will happily walk, trot and canter around the school, and we have just started to show her some jumps.

I think she would make a great family pony, she would suit someone who could continue her education, take her out and about, make lots of memories and have fun on her.

A fantastic mare, with a serious CV!
There is nothing this mare hasn’t done, from sidesaddle to jumping and everything in between. Give her a job and she will excel at it!

Sky is a 16.1hh 16yo ISH mare, with fantastic breeding including Heartbreaker, Postillion and Parkmore Princess. She has excelled in the showing circuit, including sidesaddle classes and working hunter.

Sky has competed in showjumping, dressage and eventing and shows her class in every phase. She is a forward thinking mare who really loves her job, and rarely has a pole. She is bold to both coloured and natural fences.

Sky is a true schoolmaster on the flat, and carries a lovely shape through 3 correct paces. She has a standout canter with and active hind leg and a real WOW medium trot. She has good scores out competing and would easily go out tomorrow and hold her own!

Sky hacks alone and in company, and has seen village and farm traffic. She loads and travels well alone and in company. She has hunted both in Ireland and the UK, and sidesaddle. She is good to shoe, load, catch, clip etc. No vices.

Sky is looking for a 5* home, she will give so much fun to give her next rider, and a good home is paramount!

Sky is sadly for sale on behalf of her owner of 4 years, with history and references available.
Sky is available with tack and a full wardrobe.
Open to vet.

  • Location; Padbury, Buckinghamshire

Charlie came to us for 6 weeks retraining in June/July 2025 following having had his time off post racing. Once he returned home, things didn’t quite go to plan, and Charlie is now looking for a new home

Charlie needs someone who is a mixture of; sympathetic, willing to give him the time to develop (he is naturally quite weak being 4) not a bully of a rider, but someone who can show him the way, give him confidence  and create a great 1:1 relationship with him. 

He hasn’t done it with us, but he has napped with his younger rider and kicked out to the leg on a few occasions. Charlie is a young TB, who has a brain, but isn’t mean or malicious, he just needs a confidence giving rider/someone who understands young TB’s. 

He is great to hack, is learning to jump, which he likes, is working well on the flat, doesn’t need to be ridden every day and is very easy to do/look after. He is currently out in a group of three and leads in and out with them everyday. He is naturally forward to the leg, without being buzzy, silly or ‘hot’ and is a nice responsive ride

He will give his new family a great amount of fun and joy 

No loans, no trials, no loan with view to buy 

As some will know, we very very rarely do Rehoming, we want to make sure that Charlie has the best home with his future in mind

Benji has come to us on behalf of his owner to initially break in and then prepare for sale.

He has been very straight forward from start to finish.

Never once questioned anything new and always so willing to work with you.

Three correct paces, having recently been backed and ridden away is now out hacking on his own as well as working nicely in the school. Also cantering round a small course of jumps proving confident and careful.

Benji could literally turn his hoof to any discipline and is very much still a blanc canvas for someone wanting to put their own stamp on him and build a partnership together.

Minty is looking for his forever home he has been with me for the past 7 years so this is a very hard sale. He’s the ultimate all rounder will turn his hoof at anything for you. He excels mainly in dressage competing at novice level with the potential to go further. He’s been to many ROR national championships and finished in the top 10. He’s multiple wins at prelim & novice level, places at show jumping and unaffiliated eventing.

He’s show jumped & done unaffiliated events up to 100. He has also had success in the show ring winning in hand and ridden ROR classes again he could really excel in this field as he has impeccable manners. He storms around cross country you just enjoy the ride.

He can be ridden by all abilities he’s very good at knowing who is on his back. He can go from prancing around a dressage test and storming a cross country course to tootling around for young children, elderly riders and help gain confidence with novice riders. He’s been used for a young teens GCSE where he gained them a high level pass.

Hacks alone I would ride him to war or down a motorway on him, equally he goes in company and is never silly.

Good to do in all ways he’s a proper gentleman. Up to date with everything, full history known.

I would like to keep in touch with his next home like I am in touch with his old owners as well.

6 year old mare by Pilothago x Ale Des Nids x Baloubet Du Rouet

Yummy is incredibly kind and willing. She is straightforward to ride and very easy to handle on the ground.

Bred by her current owner, she has been given the time to mature and grow.

She’s a quality, well put together mare who moves, jumps and has a fantastic attitude to her work and although bred in the purple to jump, is certainly brave enough to event.

Fabulous and mannerly to hack, take out on the truck, and to do in general.

Been to training shows and jumped BS on a ticket, currently jumping courses of 110, been cross country schooling and done loads of hacking. Yummy is showing huge potential as a 130 amateur jumper or event horse, or top level working hunter.

Sound and clean limbed, with a full set of clean x rays.

Seeking a 5 star home for this very much loved part of the family.

After two failed vettings and a few cancelled viewings, we’re putting the feelers out to try and find our next horse. We’re looking for:

Cobey is a 15.2 bay mare who has good basic flatwork and works in a nice uphill outline, not strong and would produce a lovely test, she is obedient off the leg and this hasnt been our focus with her.

To jump she is careful and rarely touches a pole, shes quick and give you a super feel, not phased by any filler/tray and turns on a sixpence. She is forward to a fence but never nasty just loves the job

Cobey is perfect to hack alone or in company in front or behind never heating up in open spaces and not spooky she baby sits the youngsters out

With previous owner she has cross country schooled proving bold and brave, she also competed at HOYS twice with numerous championship wins and placings

On the ground she is super easy, well mannered in every way and has a very sweet personality. Can leave her standing out on the yard and she wont move! Shes no different if ridden every day or given time off

Good to clip, load, catch and shoe.

This is a heartbreaking sale and will only go to the right home, only for sale as unfortunately we dont get on and wanting to take a step away from jumping

Havana Sunset. 16.1h, 17 yrs young (2008)

Havana has been with us for 3 years and now needs a new family as my daughters is off to Uni. She is a really honest and clever mare who is easy to do in all ways. A schoolmistress who knows and adores her job and has so much more to give. She has a kind nature and three confident paces.

My daughter has been an active Pony Club member with Havana attending rallies, camps and regular training and competing in dressage, show jumping and eventing. Together they reached the Pony Club Championships 100 eventing in 2023. For most of 2025 Havana has been competed by a friend as my daughter was away travelling - together they came 7th at the Pony Club Championships eventing 90 and achieved the B+ Test.

Havana would suit a confident rider to have fun and gain confidence at 90 and below. She needs confident handling but has always been handled by capable teens.

She had her hocks medicated with Arthramid in September 2024 with no vet care needed since.

Full wardrobe available by separate negotiation.

16.3hh 8yo bay mare by Tangelo VD Zuuthoeve out of an Indorado mare on an Irish passport.

Ella is the sweetest mare you could ever meet and also the easiest to handle and have on the yard.

She has show jumped with double clears Newcomers for 2026.
All double clears Discovery 2026
Placed 8th in the British Novice second round 2025
Qualified 95cm and 1.05cm Amateur second rounds.

Ridden and enjoyed by a variety of riders including riders getting back into riding and others who are training for BHS exams.

She has hacked all over with us and attended clinics, training and shows.

Good to box, shoe (barefoot with us for 4 years but previously shod) clip and traffic.

Bred an absolutely stunning foal as a 4yo so proven broodmare for the future.

Full history available. No medical issues.

I have no doubt Ella will step up and jump some big tracks in the future but she would also be happy to jump smaller classes and do a variety of things.

She would suit most riders and is amateur friendly

The home is very important to us so if it is not found we will just continue on. No loans or loan with a view to buy.

Custard is an eye-catching 5-year-old gelding standing at 15.1hh. Recently imported from Ireland, where he had hunted with the Roscommon Harriers and competed at training shows.

He hacks out both alone and in company. He travels well, loads easily, and is a pleasure to take out and about. He’s also incredibly patient – happy to stand on the lorry for hours without fuss while others are being ridden.

Custard has competed both showjumping and dressage, trained cross country and has attended many arena hires proving to be bold and honest. He jumps hedges, ditches water trays - anything put in front of him!

Custard is easy to manage on the ground and is just as content living in or out, whether in a herd or individually. He’s a real sweetheart and quickly became a favourite on the yard.
He’s always ridden in a snaffle, never strong or silly. He is a balanced, comfortable ride.

We are looking for a home where he can continue to have fun straight away, therefore no novice/nervous riders! Videos of riders will be requested in the hopes of finding him the perfect home.
