Hector is a really lovely gentleman who always tries to please. Hector is super bombproof and has done lots of hacking on busy roads with farm machinery as well as beach rides and pleasure rides, over the last year he’s had a great start to his education with regular weekly lessons, clinics, arena hires, unaffiliated comps including dressage/ sj and arena XC.

He will ride and lead, bareback, you name it he’ll do it. Hector still needs further education as he’s still green and is certainly a very leg on type, but for someone he will be perfect as a low level all rounder/ ladies hunter or mother/ daughter share.

This is a very sad sale for me however I need to do what’s best for him and his future!

He’s hoof perfect to clip, load, shoe etc.

Only serious enquires as the home is much more important than price to me. Please PM for more info/pics/ vids.

Can be sold with all his wardrobe for the below.

He is very sweet in the school and enjoys hacking alone or in company. Can throw a friend on him and have a lovely day around Somerford Park.

Very level headed not at all spooky or has any unwanted vices.

Ready for a very successful novice season and will no doubt go on to be a HOYS cob.

Clean limb very straight mover. No health issues. I would say the only thing he doesn’t like is clippers with his ears and lower legs but is getting better every time. He is a yard favourite.

  • 3 good paces

Ralph is a dressage horse but is a project, he hasn’t had the best time previously which means he is looking for a one to one home where they can gain his trust. He really is a lovely guy just needs time to develop the partnership.

He has 3 good paces, goes nicely on the flat with lateral work. He has been to dressage shows and done good tests. I really think he has potential to do BD and go up the levels.

He is brave out hacking and is good in traffic.

He is good to do but is nervous to clip.

He has previously hunted..and jumped however I feel he is scared of jumping so he won’t be sold as a jumping horse. No novices.

  • Classy Mare
  • Super casreful over a fence
  • Loves hunting

A beautiful, homebred 15.1hh black mare, 10 years old, with bags of quality, personality and plenty of sass!

She has enjoyed a varied and active life, with lots of life experience including:

Unaffiliated eventing up to 90cm

BS Show Jumping - British Novice and Discovery

Trail hunting - stands perfectly at the meet. Well mannered.

Beach rides - loves a gallop and is very quick !

Pony Club camp - loves a stay away comp / camp - enjoys the fuss!

She is super to hack and genuinely enjoys getting out and about. A horse with plenty of ability and experience, Good in traffic and is happy alone or in company.

I have no doubt she could return to being a competitive little horse with the right partner. But due to no fault of her own she has done very little this past year, she is now clipped, fit and ready to get out and about again.

She is very much a one-to-one horse who thrives on having her own person and building a special relationship. She has a big personality and certainly isn't for the faint-hearted!

In the interests of finding the right home, her quirks need to be mentioned. She can be tricky in the stable and is rather opinionated around dinner time, often making her feelings known with a few well-timed faces! She does have her little ways, and she will suit someone who understands and is happy to work around her character. Although she is experienced SJ she does get her confidence from her rider so won't suit a novice.

She would excel in the Dressage arena as she moves beautifuly and is very quick to learn. A showing career would also be right up her street, or if you just a want a really stunning horse to just hack around the countryside then that's fine too!

A lot of horse for the money. She is priced very realistically to reflect her quirky behaviour, giving someone the opportunity to buy a quality horse with plenty of experience, ability and potential without the price tag you might expect.

Looking for a knowledgeable, confident and understanding home where she can become someone's special horse and enjoy a one-to-one partnership.

The right home is far more important than price.

For sale due to a change in personal circumstances.

Good in traffic, ride and lead, happy with one farrier not with another ! loads her self on a trailer, good with my vet not so happy with another .. get my drift ?!

She's fit, clipped and ready to go - please call for more in-depth discussion to find this mare her new home.

Edgar is an 8 year old warmblood gelding.

He has been lightly schooled and hacked by myself and brother; he hacks alone and in company, he is forward going and snaffle-mouthed. Three lovely paces and would suit any sphere.

He is not a novice ride as he is still green, great project for someone who has the time he needs.

Lovely temperament on the ground, great with the farrier, easy to load/travel and good manners in the stable. Used to small children, dogs, chickens and ducks. Used to moving tractors and cars.

Up to date with vaccination and teeth.

Has an old injury to his off fore fetlock which has never caused him any problems and he has always been sound.

Due to having other commitments and younger children we do not have the time to produce him further.

17/17.1

A lovely, big, quality riding club type with a super temperament. Safe, sensible and incredibly straightforward.

Hunted in Ireland and has been cubbing with us on several occasions.

Happily pops rails, logs and small hedges, always willing and committed to a fence. Xc schools sweetly and is good with rustic fences.

Equally lovely away from the hunting field. A steady, uncomplicated ride in the arena, happily pops a showjump and is a pleasure to hack. Would make a fabulous all round riding club horse or the perfect husband’s hunter/hack.

Only available as he isn’t quite the big-country horse required for our job.

Recent clean vet certificate.

Sam is a gorgeous boy inside and out.

He is an eye catching model, with expressive paces.

He is green but willing with his jumping. He has been to some arena hires where he happily popped round a course of fillers, and some arena eventing fences, displaying a brilliant technique.

Sam loves his hacking. He will happily go off on his own, and is also sensible in company.

He is confident in traffic and in open countryside.

He recently enjoyed a riding holiday with other horses and bikes!

This lovely horse still has stuff to learn, but does things with a sensible head and a willing attitude.

Hard type to find, super home sought

Megan

  • A genuinely loving, kind and honest horse
  • Good to do in every way and has no vices

  • Mare
  • 7 years
  • 16.1hh / 166cm
  • A genuinely loving, kind and honest horse
  • Good to do in every way and has no vices

It is with a very heavy heart that I am looking for a very special forever home for Megan.

Megan is a genuinely loving, kind and honest horse who has brought me so much happiness. She is a horse that deserves the very best home, and finding the right person for her is far more important to me than price.

Megan absolutely loves her job and would make a lovely all rounder

I bought Megan when she was five with the intention of producing her for showjumping. Unfortunately, around a year after having her, she was diagnosed with kissing spine and suspensory problems\. We made the decision to operate on her kissing spine, which was fully successful, and she has also received treatment for her suspensories. She has had the very best care, rehabilitation and time throughout her recovery.

I am very happy to say that Megan is now completely sound, pain\-free and enjoying a happy life. She can still be ridden, hacked and jumped on good surfaces, and she absolutely deserves the opportunity to have a loving person of her own.

Megan is good to do in every way and has no vices. She is kind, genuine and a lovely horse to have around. She has been incredibly loved and cared for, so this is an exceptionally difficult decision.

Sadly, I can no longer ride, which means keeping Megan is no longer an option. This is the only reason she is looking for a new home.

I am looking for someone who will love Megan as much as I do and give her the wonderful life she deserves. Her forever home is my absolute priority. I am very flexible on price for the right home and would much rather know she has gone to someone who genuinely adores her than simply achieve a certain price.

Megan is a very special horse and this is a genuine, heartbreaking sale. I would love to speak to anyone seriously interested and tell you more about her and her history.

Please, no timewasters. The right home is everything. ❤️

Full Gas aka Mowgli
2023 (3 years old) 15.3hh gelding

Mowgli finished his racing career in June 2026 and was purchased from the July Sale at Tattersalls Newmarket. Since then he has had some downtime, and started light work.

Mowgli is proving to be pretty awesome under saddle. Hacks well, has started very basic schooling, which is large shapes and walk/trot/canter. Not sharp or silly.

This chap is very sweet, loves a cuddle and fuss, and is a bit of a dude.

As he is only three, and just out of racing, we don’t/wont have hundreds of videos/photos as he is only in work three time per week, mainly hacking, with one schooling session, and is planned to have another small holiday in the next few weeks.

He is the same whether you ride him every day, or hop on him after a few days/week of. Mowgli is very level headed, a very kind horse, and will be great fun to have around.

Comes with a clean set of back X-rays, front feet X-rays and knowledge that he did have ulcers when he left racing, but is now developing his body post racing very well.

He is only for sale as he, sadly, won’t be tall enough for his owner. He does have a small sarcoid on his whither about a thumbs print size, which doesn’t affect him

A fabulous home is a MUST for this absolutely wonderful and adorable chap.

MUST BE A GELDING

Long term family friend wanted for a novice rider to progress on.

The ideal horse would be polite and kind both on the floor and under saddle.

Must not buck rear or spin.

Must be polite on the floor to handle and not to pushy.

Ideally be forward going in walk trot and canter without wanting to run off.

Nothing that shoots forward or is heavy in the hand.

Absolutely no horses that need to be relentlessly kicked and whipped to maintain pace.

Absolutely no nappers or horses that cling to the gate.

Must be good to hack alone and in company

Pop a jumps.

Although a novice owner said horse will be kept in a livery setting with professional help alongside my children’s 12.2 mini cob .

This horse will want for absolutely nothing and be a long term home so the correct match it vital vs anything else!

No TB or big moving horses.

Healthy budget for right horse

Penny is a beautiful jet black mare with two back white socks, 16h Irish draught X

She’s one that stands out anywhere you go

She has impeccable manners on the ground. She really is a lovely horse to have on the yard.

Penny has three lovely paces in the arena her schooling is coming along lovely she’s a very willing mare and just wants to please you. She also happily pops round a little course of fences which she throughly enjoys.

Penny has been out to the forest where she has been swimming in the river, jumping over logs and tyres. Which she had a lot of fun and would suit someone looking to do stuff like that in the future

I’ve taken her to mine and her first time to an unaffiliated showjumping competition where she was amazing she stood to be tacked up, with me fussing all over her and being nervous as it being my first time too. She made me feel confident on how well behaved she was being. We went into the warm up arena where there was all types of horses cantering around jumping and she took it all in her stride.

Penny is great to hack alone and in company she has seen all types of traffic and wasn’t fazed she’s more interested in being nosy at peoples houses 😂.

You can take her in an open field without any worry that she’s gonna be silly or make you feel unsafe.

In a group hack she’s happy to lead or be at the back same with cantering.

Penny is more woah than go but she’s not to the point where she wouldn’t listen to your leg she’s the perfect horse if your looking for something laid back but will have a bit of go about her when you ask.

I think penny would suit a competent teenager Or adult looking for something ready to go out and have fun at the woods, shows, hunting etc

She also has recently passed a 5 stage vetting

I have loads of Vidoes and any other questions please feel free to ask

Meet ‘Breeze’ - 16.1/16.2hh, 6yo, AES mare

Sired by ‘ Golddigger’ out of ‘Colette Van Overis Z’ … how about that for some breeding!!

A real classy model with no lumps / bumps / vices etc

Bred a foal over in Ireland , now recently broken and riding and continuing her education with me here in the UK

Breeze is the definition of yard sweetheart!! There not a marish element to her! She’s very loving and affectionate in and out of the stable. Clipped without so much as a head collar on. Great to shoe, stands rock solid to be bathed , tacked up etc

Lives in or out - perfect to catch

Loads and travels foot perfectly on a trailer or lorry

She is very raw in her education but is confidently walk , trot, and cantering in and out of the arena, seen her first fence and hacking up the road

She got the looks , and the brain to go with it. A real lovely , willing, and genuine attitude. She is not at all sharp or difficult. Will be very easy to mould into what you desire her career to be.

Moves exceptionally well under saddle. Would definitely event I’d say! Snaffle mouthed. Working well in the bridle in all three paces. We’ve taken her to arena hire where she put the ten year old to shame! She’s a very bold type. She’s a real mover!! Plenty of range, uphill, flashy, and light on her feet

She’ll be a solid hack in no time at all. Very level headed , brave and takes everything in her stride

Would be a lovely top class allrounder for someone or definitely worth producing for a career! The kindest of the kind, while being so capable and versatile. I want the best home for this girl, she’s very much a valued member of our yard.

Trained but not raced. Schooling is coming along nicely, and she enjoys hacking.

She is well started, but still needs some work on transitions and balance etc, but is improving all the time and is a very quick learner.

We think she could do a decent dressage test in the future, and maybe fun rides and hunting, as she is a very nice type and seems very level headed.

Sadly for sale as daughter is giving up due to complete lack of time.

Rider is 5ft 8 for reference.

No novices please, we only want an experienced home for her.

Price includes tack and rugs.
