Sue is a beautiful 16.3hh 2009 chestnut mare looking for a loving home. Very sad sale due to work commitments and travelling so home is a top priority!

Sue is a very easy going mare, an uncomplicated ride and never gets strong. She has her own funny little ways of doing things (she is a mare after all) but once you get to know her is the easiest horse you could hope to ride

Been on numerous fun rides and hunting, happy to sit at the front or back and always in a simple rubber snaffle, never gets strong and just sits in her quiet, even canter!

Schools beautifully in all 3 paces and is the queen of grid work

Hasnt done much showjumping other than the odd unaffiliated, some classes in Ireland as a youngster and a BSJA on a ticket

Hacks alone and in company however can need a lead off the yard if she gets attached to another horse (will go from there alone)

Has had a couple of lovely foals before being brought back into work and makes a great mother

Never sick or sorry, she has a scar just above one hoof from a cut as a young horse however this has never affected her and did have cellulitis last month from a cut in the field but all healed.

Sue is best at a bus yard with individual turnout and stables at night (always with lots of friends around her) and doesn’t like to hack alone.
Would suit a low level all rounder home for group hacks, fun rides etc

Quick sale needed hence price

16hh | 5yo | Bay Thoroughbred | Ex-Racehorse Barney is a genuine, golden-natured young Thoroughbred with a fantastic attitude to work. He loves his jumping and shows real scope and enthusiasm, popping fences with ease and a great technique.

He has been to away arenas, popping a course and never says no! He is a pleasure to hack, happy alone or in company and very reliable in traffic. On the flat he schools well, offering three balanced paces, and will continue to strengthen and improve with further correct work.

Perfect to lead babies on the gallops and also to be a quiet horse and just be there to keep another company Barney is very much a woah more than go type and is sensible and straightforward, although things he finds he loves more than others where he will pick up his enthusiasm even though still very well behaved, but due to his age and background he is not a novice ride. He would be ideally suited to a competent rider looking for a quality young horse to produce

He has previously lived out over winter and thrives, proving easy to manage with a laid-back outlook. A lovely young horse with a bright future ahead in the right home. Perfect to clip, shoe (as well as having great feet!), bath, tack up and handle No injuries, can very

Fred
15hh 18-year-old Irish Cob
Fred is a lovely, laid-back chap, looking for his new home.
He is a lovely stamp of a horse, a leg in each corner. The type you sit on and never want to get off.
He’s had the past year building up his current owners confidence after a riding accident from a different horse. He has done his job really well and she is now ready for the next one.
Fred would suit a confident novice. He is a cob, so he needs someone with legs that kick.

Fred is good in the heaviest traffic out hacking, never bothered by any other horse’s behaviour, great in open spaces,

Fred will happily live in or out, with mares or geldings,
He is a big, soppy boy on the ground. Easy to handle, is sedated to clip as he has ticklish legs but is very good and stands like a rock.

Fred is up to date with vaccinations. farrier, dentist, and physio.

He does prefer to see company when stabled and in the field, so he wouldn’t suit a solo yard.
The current owner hasn’t tried him solo out hacking. That is on my to-do list.

Fred is an ex riding school horse, so very chilled with different riders. He is more whoa than go, but will happily go with the right persuasion.

To note your interest please message me. He isn’t with me yet but will be in a couple of weeks.

Blue is looking for his forever home

I really can’t put into words how amazing and well behaved he is! Anyone that knows him can vouch for this too. This is by far the hardest decision I’ve had to make but due to personal circumstances it’s what is best for both blue and me. Absolutely no time wasters or dealers he is really special to me.

A little bit about him. I’ve owned blue coming up 7 years and he’s been nothing but an absolute pleasure.

On the ground- he has absolutely perfect ground manners, you can muck out around him go underneath him he just doesn’t care. He’s seen all sorts of things so not much fazes him. Blue can pull a grumpy face if you ask him to move back or if he’s eating his food but he will never bite or kick!

Hacking out- he is the most amazing horse to hack out and he absolutely loves it. Hacking is by far his favourite thing. He’s hacked across a bridge over the a19 and wasn’t in the slightest fazed, he’s been to woodland hacks and the beach and he is absolutely fantastic. Perfect in open fields and in groups or on his own. Wheelie bins get a wide birth, there’s just someone about them he’s not a fan of??

Schooling- he’s a dream to school! Has a beautiful floaty trot and a super comfy canter. I’ve done a few intro dressage tests on him and he always places well because he just moves beautifully. He knows a few lateral movements too.

Jumping- he loves to pop a jump, fillers can be a little scary but he’s an absolute xc machine he absolutely loves it! He is strong when jumping as he’s keen. However he doesn’t like jumping all the time and he doesn’t like to go competing in showjumping as the busy environment isn’t for him.

ABSOLUTELY NO NOVICES and NO CHILDREN. He’s forward going and I want him to go to ideally a hacking home or someone who likes to do a mixture of hacking and dressage with little jumping. Located in the north east TS21 area. Please message me for videos/ more information

His been slowly produced and is always ridden in a snaffle on the flat he is nice and supple with uphill paces. He is nice and responsive to the rider without being Sharpe or strong. He is nicely off the leg and is capable of producing a nice dressage test.

He has just started his jumping career as his owners wanted to give him time to mature physically with them always having an eye on his long term career.

He has taken to jumping very well proving to be brave and very carful with a great technique. He has seen all types of fillers and is easy to a fence taking you in without being strong. He has been to a few shows proving to be well behaved and trying his best.

Cross Country he has been schooling a handful of times and has again impressed us all with his try hard temperament he has jumped all kinds of XC fences including ditches and is willing to jump into water all in a snaffle.

On the ground he is great to have around the stable yard. Very easy to do everything with including catching, leading, loading and all the usually stuff like grooming and bathing. He is also good to shoe, clip and load both into a trailer and a lorry.

A Horse You Can Relax on and Enjoy – Safe, Kind & Trustworthy


Ref #: 400479

  • Loves people, loves a job, will try his hoof at anything
  • Exceptionally easy to handle: catch, load, travel, shoe & clip, good with vet
  • Safe and sensible ride, snaffle mouthed, hacks alone & in company
This is the most kind, affectionate and genuinely good-hearted horse you could find, and he's looking for his equally kind, forever home. He is easy-going, people-focused and thrives on a close partnership. A real family horse who loves fuss, attention and being part of someone’s everyday life.

He retired from racing sound three years ago and has been with me ever since. This is a very sad sale due solely to a change in work commitments and reduced time.

A straightforward, relaxed and very safe ride, making him ideal for happy hacking and off-road exploring. He is happiest out and about, alone or in company, and would suit a mother–daughter shared home where reliability and temperament matter most.

He is excellent in traffic, calm in open spaces and completely unfazed by large farm machinery. Good with gates and polite in all situations. He can occasionally pause if something looks suspicious, but takes confidence from his rider, goes forward willingly and quickly forgets. Snaffle-mouthed, he enjoys a canter or gallop yet always comes back quietly. Sensible in groups and not fizzy when overtaken. Happy to lead another horse.

Works nicely on the flat, soft in the mouth and forms a pleasant shape when warmed up. Enjoys long-reining. Jumps up to 70cm in the school and has experience of XC, hunter trials, beach rides and water crossings, which he takes in his stride. He enjoys variety but is equally content as a low-pressure, fun horse.

A good doer and economical to keep. I often think he's more relaible cob than TB, including how laid back he is! Lives in or out; would thrive with year-round turnout and plenty of forage. Gets on well with mares and geldings of all ages. Easy to catch, perfect to load and travels well, stands calmly at the lorry. No vices (apart from he likes a chew at his lead rope!), good to shoe, clip, dentist and vet. Front pads every 4–5 shoeings due to shallow hooves; can get mild mud scabs if unprotected in winter. Vaccinations, shoes and worming up to date (due again in coming months).

This boy is much-loved and truly special person. This is not a quick sale and I don't want him passed around. A knowledgeable, kind, dedicated, long-term home is essential.

No dealers or canvassers, please.

King – Big Heart, Huge Potential, Looking for His Forever Person

Nottingham, NG12

King is a much-loved horse who is only available due to no fault of his own. This has been a very difficult decision, but my daughter’s health issues have meant she has been unable to ride, and she no longer has the confidence he truly deserves. Our absolute priority is finding him the right, knowledgeable home.

We purchased King in July 2025 from Smart Performance Horses (Sam Walton) for my daughter. Since then, he has been ridden regularly (around 4 times a week) by a loaner — usually schooling or hacking, weather dependent, especially over winter.
 

About King

King has the biggest heart and forms a strong bond with his rider. He is kind and not malicious in any way, but he does need a confident, reassuring person to bring out his best. He thrives on routine and enjoys having a job — keeping him mentally stimulated really suits him.

He works beautifully in the school, is responsive to leg and voice, and is willing and trainable.

He loves hacking and will go alone or in company. He can be a little more aware when alone, but he continues to improve with consistency. He has previously hunted and enjoys being out and about.

King can be spooky at times, but this is improving steadily with regular work and confident handling.
 

Environment & Handling

He is currently kept on a working farm and is completely used to sheep, farm machinery and general activity.

Good with farrier

Recently seen the dentist and behaved impeccably

Good to clip

Good ground manners, though benefits from confident handling

Loads and has previously transported well (has not travelled since we purchased him)

Happy to live in or out (currently mostly living out)

Bridle and rugs included, but no saddle, he is still growing so currently have one on loan.

Loveable All Rounder mare with a heart of Gold

  • She would be a fantastic all rounder

Drew is such an honest mare with a completely lovable character and is definitely a yard favourite. Myself and my daughter have owned her for 5 years now, in that time my daughter has used Drew for happy hacking, fun rides and general schooling but due to increasing work commitments she hasn’t been in work for 2 years. Now due to circumstances we are having to make the decision to part ways with Drew which is very difficult.

Drew is great with traffic, she rides alone or in company (she does prefer to follow though) . I would say that Drew isn’t completely a novice ride as she does have the higher gears too and can get a little excited at times and she does seek confidence from the rider at times (never silly or strong) . She would be a fantastic all rounder but just needs bringing back into work!
She needs a bit of schooling as she is very unbalanced on the one rein. However she works in a stunning outline. She has a dipped back, which she had always had, it does get better when in work and exercised regularly, and doesn’t cause her any problems.

Shes fabulous to catch, load, farrier, dentist, bath etc.

I have contact details for most of her previous owners as she had lived locally for most of her life.

I will only consider a 5* home for Drew as that’s what she deserves!
