Your next exceptional allrounder – confident, careful, and versatile


Ref #: 385744

  • Super brave
  • Super safe, would suit riding school
£6,500 ONO

Lena – the safest horse you’ll ever meet (with resting mare face)

Meet Lena: proof that you can have talent, brains and a sense of humour… even if you do pull faces in the stable.



Lena has 2x second placings at Hickstead this summer, schools to 1.10m at home, has an exceptional jump, and is the sort of horse you could trust with your granny on the buckle.



On Christmas Day, we hacked her out while another horse had a full emotional breakdown throwing shapes left, right and centre. Lena? She poodled along at the back, completely unbothered, living her best life.



In the school she is safe, sensible and straightforward, at shows she is cool as a cucumber, and she is never phased by big atmospheres. She is proving very brave cross-country, is happy hacking alone or in company, and takes everything in her stride. Take her away from other horses? Fine. Leave her behind? Also fine. Turned out alone or with mares or geldings? No drama.



The catch?



She is… marish in the stable. By which we mean she pulls faces and puts her ears back. That’s it. Has not kicked or bitten us, no nonsense — just a lot of “how dare you come into my room” expressions. We simply tell her to get over herself and crack on.



Once she’s out of the stable? Absolute angel. In the wash bay she’s a sweetheart, at shows she’s impeccable, and tacking up in the lorry she’s good as gold. Honestly, we now find the faces quite amusing and consider it part of her personality.



Because of her resting mare face, her price has been reduced to 6500, which is frankly ridiculous for a horse with her ability, record and temperament under saddle. If you can laugh at an ear-back moment and see past it (as we have), you’ll get yourself a seriously lovely horse.



Would suit:



• Happy hacker



• Low-level allrounder



• Someone wanting a safe, talented horse to produce a bit more



Lena is kind, genuine and very, very easy — just don’t expect her to smile in her stable. She’s too busy saving that energy for looking after her rider.

Stunning Warmblood mare by Diarado

£8,500 OIRO

  • 6 years

Open to sensible offers

A beautiful, kind mare with exceptional breeding, making her a fantastic addition to any breeding programme or for someone looking for a genuine, sweet-natured horse. She is by Diarado and her dam sire is Florencio.

She has a lovely, kind temperament both in and out of the stable, and has proven to be very sensible on her outings to clinics, arena hires and camp. She takes everything in her stride and is a pleasure to have on the yard.

She is fantastic to hack both alone and in company. She is great in traffic and not phased by traffic including tractors or machinery.

She will happily live in or out, she's is currently in at night and turned out during the day. She is up to date with farrier, teeth, vaccinations, worming etc.

She does have some medical history. Trots up sound on the straight but slightly short on a circle in trot. She is sound in walk so absolutely fine to hack, with the potential of returning to full ridden work. I am happy to discuss this openly and provide her full medical history with serious potential buyers.

This is a very difficult decision, so she will only be available to the very best of homes.

Holly is every teenagers dream young horse to produce and continue her education. She has the most fantastic trainable temperament, wants to please and loves her work.

She came over from Ireland a couple of months ago where she was broken in and lightly produced by her breeders. She went XC schooling, SJ arena hire and hunted. Since being here will have slowly continued her education on the flat and jumping.

Holly is now more than ready to start her competitive career. There is no doubt she will be a stunning Highend Allrounder for someone.

The perfect home for Holly would be an RC/BE amateur type home, who continues her education to make someone a lovely Allrounder.

Coco is a super fun little mare with so much ability and scope for someone to have loads of fun on.

She’s done lots of British Showjumping with her owners where she has jumped several DCs at Discovery and had lots more scope to jump bigger classes. Never stops and she is very careful, always trying her hardest. Snaffle mouthed and very easy to ride.

We think a lot of Coco and think she would make a super little event mare and a great contender for the ROR Eventing series. Shes been XC schooling and jumps anything, straight in the water and unphased by ditches and skinnies.

Coco has also been hunting proving to be very good, snaffle mouthed and easy. Stands like a rock at the meet and will jump any country. I’m sure she’d hunt hounds, whip in, field master or go in point as well as being very happy in the field.

At home Coco is lovely to have around. She doesn’t need working every day but enjoys the work she does, she’s easy and very trainable. She’ll happily hack out alone and in company. She’s in a small herd in the field but equally happy on her own too. Travels in a trailer or lorry.
She does wear a windsucking collar as she very occasionally windsucks. Never with the collar on.

**HONEST ADVERT** Smart 16.2hh 9yr old ID x gelding by Bellews Mate x Furisto. Well put together with 3 nice straight, balanced paces.

He was sold as a ‘first horse’ to a novice teenager 2years ago, where I feel he has pushed the boundaries and become ‘soured in the school’ whilst he is very capable of some very quality flat work he has learnt he can drop behind the leg and occasionally buck. I believe this is something that will stop in a few months with a capable rider and lots of hacking and fun, when he is good he goes beautifully.

Previous to this home he was ridden by a 68yr old lady with a very varied lifestyle but mainly dressage focused.

Oliver is fantastic to hack, great in traffic, loves popping a fence either sj or xc, he has previously competed in dressage with good scores.

He’s clean legged, no vices, up to date with teeth, worming, farrier etc

He’s a very smart, nicely bred horse now offered at a fraction of his worth as home is absolute priority

Tack can be available at extra cost

Genuinely wish I could keep this one! Retired from racing 4 years ago

Spencer is a beautifully genuine horse who has been thoughtfully produced since leaving racing. He has a sensible, uncomplicated way of going and offers a reassuring, rideable feel that many riders are searching for.

He has enjoyed a varied lifestyle, including fun rides, competing at Prelim dressage, and low-level hunter trials, showing himself to be willing, adaptable, and easy to manage in different environments.

Spencer has been to arena hires showjumping and been incredible, combinations, fillers, water trays, walls all not a problem just a genuine pleasure of a horse! Ready to go out and compete round a few rounds

An absolute gem to have on the yard: kind, straightforward, and a pleasure to do in all respects. Spencer would suit a rider looking for a quality all-rounder with a calm mindset and an honest attitude.

Spencer is good as gold to handle on the ground, clip, shoe, perfect stable manners , good to bath, tie up, turnout out and bring in, catch etc

Golden in open spaces, well behaved in traffic, hacks alone and in company, happy to lead or go behind, everyone who meets him falls in love instantly, a big character with lots of love to give. He will make someone a super horse and will be one we will be very sad to see go

Cowboy is a genuinely kind and sweet-natured gelding with an excellent temperament. He is a pleasure to have around the yard and takes everything in his stride, proving easy, willing, and uncomplicated in all aspects of his work and daily routine.

Over the two years, Cowboy has been carefully and correctly produced through consistent schooling. He now works well in three balanced paces and is established on the flat, confidently schooling movements such as counter canter. Flying changed around a showjumping course;
He is trainable, responsive, and always tries to please. Much of his development has been supported using the TRT method, allowing him to build strength, balance, and understanding in a sympathetic and correct way.

Cowboy has attended arena hires where he has behaved impeccably, taking new environments confidently. He is bold and genuine to a fence and will happily jump anything put in front of him. Fillers, back rails, water trays walls and unfamiliar fences do not faze him, he remains straightforward, honest, and brave at all times. He is happily doing a course of 90cms and easily pops 1.10m , will go far in the right hands

He is a pleasure to hack, both alone and in company, and is excellent in traffic. Cowboy loads and travels perfectly, you can leave him on the trailer whilst you take another off and ride that one first, will stand without a peep.

He is easy to manage, and is good to do in all ways. He is fit, ready to go, and prepared to continue his education with his next home.

An ex-racehorse who has transitioned seamlessly into life beyond racing, Cowboy is a safe, honest, and versatile horse who would suit someone looking for a reliable and kind partner to enjoy and progress with.

Beautiful mare by Avanti Amorous Archie

  • 9 years
  • 16 hands
  • Stunning temperament
  • Loves by all humans and horses
  • Easy to do in most ways
Aston End Party Girl aka Seren is a beautiful IDx mare sired by the famous Avanti Amorous Archie (green PP).

She is for sale as I am giving up horses. She has been backed and hacked but for various reasons had time off (mostly me). She will make a great hacker, companion, even a therapy horse. I have always been able to hop back on after a period of no work, and shes always been happy to plod along (though she will not leave the yard alone, but will follow someone on foot and is ace out with others, she would like follow a dog too!) . She is mostly very easy going but does thrive on routine and companionship. If her routine or environment changes, she needs times and patience to adjust.

She has the most beautiful temperament, is easy to to do with most things (takes some time to load). Loves being clipped, groomed, scratched, kissed and cuddled. Isnt marish in the slightest. Very sociable with humans and other horses love her!

She is only suitable for hacking with a light weight rider. Despite being a lump, she is not a weight carrier. So ideally under 11 stone.

She has been backed bitless (I use a Transcend) and shes very happy in it, though she is actually bitted. She is currently barefoot and has boots if the ground is stoney.

I would like a permanent loving home for her where she will be cherished and loved as she always has been (though she is not spoilt). She does need a patient and understanding owner, while stoic externally, shes very sensitive but is equally a very calm well mannered mare.

Can live in or out but likes to come in for a good rest and snooze. Shes easy going with either.

Please contact me for more info. I have loads of pics and vids (mostly of her laying down having a cuddle!!) Note I do not have ANY facilities here, she is kept at home and my fields are a bog currently. She is being sold from the field and will not pass a vetting (on flexions). Hence price.

Price can include everything she owns excluding practically new Cavaletti saddle which can be sold separately if wanted.

I also have a tiny full gypsy cob (sep ad) that is her bestie, should you have room for 2 :)

Price negotiable for the right home. NO DEALERS.

I am giving up so would consider selling both horses and everything for yard and them as a job lot (inc acres of electric fencing kit, tack, yard equipment, new clippers, numerous rugs, showing gear, tons of stuff).

Rio - 15.2hh Polo Bred Gelding 2011 Liver Chestnut

Offered to the market on behalf of his owner Rio is looking for a new best friend to call his own.

With an extensive CV Rio has lots to offer.

Hunted with the bloodhounds, Rio proved unfazed by the busy atmosphere and enjoyed being around lots of other horses and having a fast paced job to do.

Beach rides and fun rides are his favourite. Lots of cantering and adventuring around the open countryside as well as dipping his toes into the sea.

Having previously played polo he is a responsive switched on ride and prefers to take confidence from a still well balanced competent rider.

Rio will ride in an arena although he does tend to activate polo mode a little more in this environment will be more responsive than he would be on say a happy hack.

Happy jumping logs and poles when out and about - not a ready made show jumper as this hasn't ever been asked of him. With time and schooling this could just be his unfound forte.

Great on traffic and is a brave sort. Happy to hack alone and in company.

Sadly Rio was sold to his owners 6 months ago and has come back to us to be sold as he simply wasn't a good match to his less experienced jockey. Since being in our yard we have found him ever so slightly worried so think the rider horse/ combo may have left him unsettled.

That said he has also been owned by a fun loving teenager and she idolised him. He was sold purely down to family circumstances at the time - she would love to stay in touch.

Not the type to nap, bronk or rear. Not suited to a novice home - Experienced quiet riders will allow him to shine.

An absolute saint to have on the yard. A gentleman in the stable. Recently trimmed by the farrier. Clipped and only needed extra hands to do his ears and head. No stable vices.

Loads onto a trailer like a professional and travels well.

Happy to turn out with mares and geldings. Is neither top nor bottom of the pecking order so will slot into any home / yard environment.

Wormed to date
Passport and microchipped
Sadly no loans or trials
Nationwide delivery available
