LUX

A powerful, kind-hearted gelding looking for his forever home

Lux is now looking for his forever home following his retirement from racing. He is a genuinely kind, affectionate horse with a lovely temperament and plenty of potential to enjoy a successful second career beyond the track.

Having spent the past six months relaxing, adjusting to life after racing and enjoying simply being a horse, Lux has had time to settle into his new chapter. His retraining is progressing well, and he is showing a great attitude towards his education.

A lovely temperament with plenty of personality

Lux is a pleasure to have around, with a kind nature and a willingness to learn. He has a lovely attitude to his work and is already showing encouraging progress as he develops his skills outside racing.

He is a big, powerful horse, and he can be strong at times. For this reason, he would be best suited to an experienced rider who understands Thoroughbreds and can continue his education with confidence, consistency and patience.

There is no badness in him, and with the right person to guide him, we believe Lux has plenty to offer.

Retraining and riding experience

Lux’s flatwork is progressing really well, and he hacks confidently both alone and in company.

He has also recently started his jumping education and has taken to it well, giving him another exciting avenue to explore as his training develops.

With continued schooling, Lux could make a lovely all-rounder for someone wanting to enjoy a variety of activities, including:

* Riding club activities

* Clinics and schooling sessions

* Pleasure rides and hacking

* Further jumping education

* Exploring other suitable disciplines

He is still developing in his retraining, so his next owner should be prepared to continue building on the foundations already established.

His next chapter

Lux is reported to be clean and sound, with no vices. He is a lovely, powerful ride with a great attitude and the potential to develop into a rewarding partner for the right person.

Finding Lux a knowledgeable, loving forever home is the absolute priority. We want him to continue progressing, enjoy his new career and become a much-loved member of his next family.

Viewing appointments are available any day before 11:30am, except Sundays. Rehoming unseen may be discussed for the right home.

Could Lux be your next partner?

If you’re an experienced rider looking for a kind-natured, athletic Thoroughbred with an encouraging start to his retraining and plenty of potential to explore, Lux could be well worth meeting.

He deserves a home where his education can continue and where he can enjoy a happy, rewarding life beyond racing.

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.

  • Super casreful over a fence

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
