Dil is a 16.1h 6yo Bay Mare, and is a chunky TB. She is a sweet mare and more like a gelding than a mare! She’s raced about 14 times but wasn’t fast enough.

Her flat work is green but she is very willing has is progressing well with us.

She started jumping this year and has proved to have a super scopey and careful jump, she has taken well to fillers and all types of simulated XC fences.

She has jumped on a surface and on grass and has just been XC schooling and loved it jumping around a BE90 course.

She is good to hack both on the roads and in the fields, she is now looking for next home to continue her training and in time will make a super competition all rounder or equally happy as a low level hack.

Sad sale on behalf of her owner after 2.5 years.

Always snaffle mouthed.

She is good to clip, load, travel, and is up to date with wormer, teeth, physio and farrier (currently bare foot).

Betty is a good doer, can live in or out and is never sick or sorry.

  • Easy and uncomplicated horse
  • Ideal mother/daughter/son share
Crafty Web (Winston) has been a successful novice event horse and showjumper. He is TB x WB with his grandfather being Louella Inschalla. He is now 18 and therefore I feel that he is looking for a lovely hacking home / lower level riding club type home, jumping up to around 80cm.

PLEASE READ THE ADVERT IN FULL before making contact. Located Trowbridge in Wiltshire, BA14. Sorry, no loans, LWVTB, offers on price or payment plans. This is a lovely horse for the money and the right home is more important than price which is why he is sensibly priced.

A proper school master who knows his job. He is an easy uncomplicated ride and is ready to come down the levels to teach someone the ropes at the lower heights and for someone who enjoys their hacking. He was evented by a professional event rider and therefore he is well schooled on the flat and can do shoulder in, leg yield, direct transitions etc and has balanced paces.

In his previous home he successfully did Tetrathlon with two teenage boys. He would make a great mother/daughter/son share and is ideal for someone looking for an older schoolmaster on a budget.

He is easy to take to shows and on the ground and does not need riding every day. You could leave him 6 months and jump straight back on and go for a hack.

I bought him nearly 2 years ago to get me back jumping after a few years off and he has done the job. I have done riding club, group clinics and lessons and some competitions at 80/90cm. He keeps a nice rhythm to a fence without being strong. I have also cross country schooled him.

I have recently had his hocks medicated for the first time to get him ready for sale after I turned him away from January to March due to lack of time. I just felt that his hocks were a little stiff on coming back into work but I have not had them X-rayed and therefore I feel he is more suited to jumping up to 80cm.

He hacks alone or in company and I lead other horses and ponies from him. He is great with buses and trucks coming past him but can spook at a crisp packet or a road sign, particulary on his own. This involves him going past with his eyes on stalks but I simply turn his head away from the object while he walks past.

He also crib bites and wears a collar although he keeps his weight on well. He is best suited to a home where he can live out most of the time. He can nip a little when doing rugs and tack but generally is a very sweet boy in the stable and loves fuss, attention and affection.

He turns out with mares and geldings in a herd or is happy out with one other. He is happy to be left on his own when my others go out hacking without him and does not stress in his stable being left alone but happily eats his hay.

He is only for sale as I have three others and I am struggling for time and therefore he does need a bit more fittening work as he is only in light work at the moment. That said, he would be ready to go out for some nice hacks and low level competing and he does not take long to get fit.

He is easy to clip, shoe and I travel and load him in an Equitrek trailer with no issues. He previously travelled and loaded well in a horsebox. He is not suitable for hunting.

Good trial facilities with school and showjumps and you are welcome to hack alone and in company.

No novices please. Although he is good he is still a competition type horse and I would prefer a balanced rider who is light in their hands.

Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, back and shoes. Tack available separately at an additional cost.

The vidoes are of me jumping small fences due to my nerves having not jumped for several years. They show that he is easy at the lower levels.

Eyecatching gelding with full history known.

Pep has hunted all season with a competent novice and has also whipped in when needed to which he did a fantastic job and was very well behaved.
Hes great hacking out alone and in company safe in traffic.

Peps schooling has come on no ends and he's started to work in a correct outline moves very nicely with uphill gaits.
We have taken pep Xc which he completely blew us away and proved the talent he really has
Happy to jump showjumps with plenty of scope and ability.

Really would make a fantastic event horse as well as being a proven hunt horse.

Pep has always been a little grumpy on the floor we take zero notice of him now as we know him so well, hes come on alot since first being here. I would not suggest a novice handle him, although he's been owned by a competent novice the last year and has been OK his behaviour got worse, persistent routine and boundarys are key for him.

Can easily tack him up, rug him, wash him, and do all the daily things farrier etc etc was being led in a chifney but we are now managing in a basic collar.

Pep is a fantastic horse in the making and really will excel in the correct management routine.

Does weave in the stable when stressed this has become less and less since he's in work and settling.

Cornflake is a quality 16.2h 18yo Warmblood Gelding.

In a past life, Cornflake (The Corn Crake) has evented to 3* with good results, however he has lost the love for jumping in the ring.

With this in mind, we feel Cornflake would be best suited to a home as a dressage schoolmaster, or to go hunting/teamchasing.

On the flat Cornflake has all the moves, he’s rideable, sane and forgiving. He has all his lateral work, a change both ways and an easy snaffle mouth.

Equally, cornflake is a proven hunter. He’s easy, mannerly and jumps anything with plenty of scope and enthusiasm.

Cornflake hacks alone and in company in heavy traffic, and is easy to shoe, box, clip etc. He’s never hot or silly, and has been ridden and looked after entirely by a small teenage girl for the last couple of years.

Open to any vet or viewing.

Sydney is an incredibly brave, good-looking gelding, looking for his next fun filled home. He loves his hacking, either alone or in company, will happily walk along on the buckle. He has competed at 1m (discovery) SJ and is proving to be very brave in the ring, jumping anything in front of him. He moves well on the flat and could easily go out and be competitive in the white boards. Last summer he did a GoBE80 and finished in the top 15, after two good jumping rounds and a 33.5 dressage. He has been XC schooling numerous times and enjoys this variety.

Sydney is by Cristobal 21, a 1.60m jumper.

We think that Sydney would suit someone competent looking to have some fun, whether this be SJ, eventing, hunting, team chasing or just hacking. With time, patience and good training Sydney will make a brilliant strong horse.

Sydney needs plenty of turnout all year round, and requires a confident person both ridden and on the ground as he has a supersized personality. To him life can be one big game and he needs someone who will share his sense of humour.

Very genuine reason for sale.

Ramsey is a lovely boy who I’ve had the pleasure of owning for nearly 7 years.

I bought him directly from the breeder so full history known.

Ramsey is a sensitive, hot forward ride so wouldn’t be suitable for a nervous, novice rider.

Over the years of ownership he’s very lightly competed BS, done plenty of clinics, XC schooling and fun rides. Also a lot of hacking out which he does alone or in company (can have a look at things as most horses do).

Unfortunately due to my time and show commitments with other horses I feel now is the right time to find Ramsey his new home as he’s still got so much love and fun to give his next person.

He has had his front feet medicated in the past so I’m selling him at the price advertised due to may having to have maintenance.

He’s not in work at the moment but I hopped on a few weeks ago and took him for a hack - good as gold.

Good to clip, box, shoe. Is fully shod ready to go.

Princess is a lovely 8-year-old middleweight registered Irish Sport Horse mare, perfect for someone looking for a confidence-giving happy hacker or hunter. She has hunted this season with multiple packs, jumping hedges, timber, and ditches with ease.
Been on numerous fun rides, beach rides, pub rides & clinics.
She will pop around a small course of show jumps and is bold cross-country, but due to primarily hunting and hacking, she is still green in this area. With the right rider, she has plenty of potential to progress further.

At home, Princess is a pleasure to have on the yard—easy to clip, catch, load, and shoe. A straightforward, kind mare ready for her next adventure.

Due to the number of unsuitable enquiries I feel I must add that this horse would suit someone under the 15 stone weight limit.

Jack is a super kind full Irish Draught Gelding. He stands at 15’3 and is a rising 6yo. His sire, Fintan Himself, needs no introduction. Jack has been professionally backed and is slowly being produced. He is starting to work in an outline in the arena and has started to jump under saddle, showing a willing attitude in his work and a scopey brave jump with a good technique.

He hacks alone and in company and has been great in all traffic he has seen here, from tractors, lorry’s, cars, cyclists and bin Lorry’s. He is fab in open spaces and happily canters across the farm in huge open fields. Jack has the most fantastic temperament and it’s like he’s always got a smile on his face, he’s genuine and honest.

He’d definitely be someone’s best friend! He’s lovely to deal with in and out the stable, great to catch box shoe etc.

Jack is green! He would be suited to a riding club type of home, someone who wants to finish producing a sweet horse and put their own stamp on and school their own horse up to how they want. Jack has all the basics, just needs someone with time and patience to produce him further. He’s uncomplicated and a straight forward chap that’s had a good start.

On sales livery and has been owned by his owner for 4 years. So a sad sale.

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase outstanding Maxi Cob, who is a true gentleman and would turn his hoof to anything. It’s an extremely sad and genuine sale due to owners previous health issues.

Murphy is out and out the yard favourite, he is a saint to do on the ground and ridden, he’s a complete pleasure to have on the yard.

Murphy has been in the same home since a 4 year old, where he has been his owners best friend. They go on long distance hacks, pleasure rides, pole work clinics, lessons, and just general fun. Him and his owner would always go to places on their own, he’s a gem to handle and get ready.

Bought from Ireland as a 4yo to make 15.2, Murphy just didn’t stop growing and had just become too big for my client to tack up due to her own health issues.

We can’t fault this lovely horse, he has no vices, hacks out in the heaviest alone and in company, always snaffle mouthed, never been sick or sorry and is everyone’s best friend.

We have excellent viewing facilities in Worcester just 15 mins off the motorway.

Beautiful 15 hands PRE Fusion Gelding

  • Beautiful, intelligent horse with lovely temperament
  • Unspoilt and has been allowed to mature
  • Gives the best cuddles!

Rio is 15 hands, buckskin and 5 years old (DOB 01/05/2020). He was bred in Spain, imported as a foal and registered with BAPSH as a PRE Fusion Horse. I have owned him for 1.5 years. I wanted to give him time to physically mature so I have brought him on slowly using positive reinforcement (clicker training) and groundwork. He was started under saddle over the winter. He happily accepted a rider and takes himself to the mounting block and stands patiently. Our groundwork has easily transferred to ridden work and he will move his forelimbs or hindlimbs laterally when asked. He is very intelligent and trainable. We have only recently introduced trot work so he's not yet working in an outline. He will need someone experienced with young horses to continue his education.

Rio has a lovely temperament and gives the best cuddles. He has mainly lived out here but also loves spending time in his stable. He doesn't mind when he is left on his own and isn't silly in the field just because one of the other horses is having a crazy moment. He is good to handle, with no vices and comes to call in the field. He's good having his feet trimmed and is up to date with worming, vaccinations and dentist. He has had one routine physio treatment and the physiotherapist was very admiring of his conformation and movement. His field is next to a road on one side and a busy track on another so he is used to tractors, lorries, riders, bikes and pedestrians going past. He passed a two stage vetting in Sep 2023 and has no medical issues or lumps and bumps. He has only seen the vet for a problem with mites but this has been resolved.

Although Rio is a pretty chilled chap (and lets me flap things over him and bang things), he is very attentive to things that are going on in the wider environment. When ridden, he can be nervous when its windy and be distracted when the other horses move around in their fields, or some pigeons take off for example. He might stop and look but he has occasionally trotted (or a couple of times cantered - which felt amazing!) from one end of the school and stopped at the other end. He hasn't bucked or reared or zoomed around (I hope this doesn't tempt fate!). However, I'm approaching 50 and I'm finding myself a little nervous at the prospect of doing all the first things with him and so I have only ridden him in the school. I have made the difficult decision to see if there is someone who can offer him a lovely home and then I would plan to find another Rio but a little older and more established.

Please only enquire if you are experienced with young horses. If he doesn't find a 5* home then he will stay with me and I don't want him unsettled by novices. Whatsapp me for more photos and video. Vettings are welcome. This is an amazing opportunity for someone to acquire an unspoilt youngster with loads of potential. £5750. No phone calls after 8pm please

A kind, intelligent mare who wants to do her best. Sane and sensible, she loves her work whether it’s hacking, schooling or competing. Easy to handle, she is very well mannered. She is good to hack and is used to a variety of riders from a happy hacking mother to a professional show jumper but wouldn’t be suitable for a complete novice. She travels well and is so easy to manage at a show or training clinic and is used to stayaways.

She has previously competed successfully up to 1.25m show jumping but due to an old injury she now needs to step down and is comfortable competing up to 1m. Currently in full work and she is fit and well. Happy to discuss all medical history.

With a background in eventing (BE100, 27 foundation points), she has show jumped since we bought her as an 8 yr old and has proved to be a fantastic and straightforward first horse. She is a much loved part of our family and is only for sale because my daughter wishes to compete at a higher level than she is now comfortable with.

A fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a kind, fun, well schooled horse. Perfect for NSEA, riding club etc

Finding the right home is our main priority – hence price is negotiable for the right home.
