MISHAN PADDINGTON aka Paddy.

16.1hh 11 yro (2014) British Crossbred chestnut gelding.

Paddy is a beautiful rich chestnut gelding with a kind and willing temperament. He has been enjoyed as a low level competition, riding club, schooling, hacking and general ride.

Schooling with 3 lovely paces, Paddy has a soft mouth, goes off the leg well and definitely enjoys school work. He has wonderful rhythmical paces and stays well in canter. He can deliver some delightful work, responsive and has great transitions. Paddy has a trainable attitude and would make a super dressage horse, this is definitely his forte and with some polishing up he has much potential in this sphere.

Paddy is sensible in traffic on narrow country lanes when out hacking. He is fantastic with other horses, loves group rides and can go out riding alone too. Paddy has seen farm machinery. He is forward going and enjoys riding out. No ridden vices.

In the stable, paddy is a true gentleman, he will stand to be groomed all day. Very mannerly to lead and handle, to turn out and catch, he loads and travels well and is good for the farrier and is shod all round currently.

Paddy has been to local showjumping shows previously as well as arena hires and cross country clinics, he has been used as a general ride seeing a bit of everything and having fun!

Up to date with vaccinations, dentist, physio. Fit and ready to go.

A loving and knowledgeable home is paramount for Paddy, where he will have a varied lifestyle and be loved as part of the family. Open to vetting.

16.1hh 7yr old Black registered Friesian Gelding

Hercules works sweetly on the flat and with further schooling would produce a nice test. He’s jumped a handful of coloured fences and a log out hacking, proving bold and genuine but not the most athletic.

Been to numerous fun rides and taken to the beach, has been autumn hunting as a 5yr old where he was mannerly at the meet and stood on point nicely.

Hacks alone and in company, great in all traffic and sensible in open spaces. Predominately been driven on his own and in a pair. Good to shoe, box, clip etc.

He is more woah than go and snaffle mouth when ridden. Only for sale due to owners personal circumstances.

Sec D gelding looking for an experienced home where he will get some proper work and mental stimulation. 

He's a clever boy who wants to do a job, and while he would carry a novice rider most days, one day he will probably make his own entertainment and deposit them. So he's not suitable for a novice, and I won't sell him to someone who thinks they can spin him and make money. 

He's great to handle, load, catch farrier etc. He's brilliant in traffic. Unfazed by farm machinery. He's a snaffle mouth, and loves to hack out alone or in company. 

He hates riding circles in a school, and this is where he's been soured in the past. He will buck sometimes, and certainly if you push him around in a school. He doesn't like it at all. Nobody ever explained it to him properly, and we don't have a school anyway.

He wants to go in a straight line through the countryside, for miles and miles, at any speed. 

He is very sound with no health issues at all. He's been checked for the bucking - it's just him. He has had some bad relationships in past. Haven't we all! I have his full and interesting history, happy to disclose. 

I've had him / know him for years, and we always got on fine with him because we let him do what he enjoys most. However I now have too many horses, and he doesn't have a job with us anymore. If he doesn't sell, I will probably break him to drive as I think he'll be brilliant and he'd love it.

I would love to find him an experienced home, where he can go hunting or do endurance or something similar. He's got a jump in him, but he might get excited and buck if you don't keep him focussed. (We have had him over a small course in a school.) 

He could be perfect for a gutsy teenager, or would make a super little staff horse for a hunt. There's a job for him out there where he can thrive, and an owner who will love him even when he's a knob. 

Don't buy this horse and come back to me when he's bucked you off. Buy him and then tell me what an amazing little hunter he's become.

The right home is vital for this little chap. A decent rider and a bit of work and patience will easily bring out the best of him.

Annabelle - 15.2 6yr old coloured mare

A lovely mare with a kind, trainable attitude, Annabelle has been kindly started and has been shown a bit of the world including xc and sj training off site, local shows in hand, hunter trials, intro dressage and fun rides which she absolutely loves.

She hacks alone or in company happily, good in traffic and used to a farm environment inc tractors, quads, animals etc. Will go first or last, sensible in open fields, goes through water.

She has taken everything asked of her in her stride and will always have a go for you.

She takes you forward but has good brakes and is not joggy, not the sort that needs nagging along.

She works sweetly on the flat, she is responsive to aids but not sharp, spooky or strong. She does have some trotter in her but has learnt to canter well and improves daily as she gets stronger and more balanced, she hasn't been rushed but has a good attitude towards work, she has started some basic lateral work and some walk to canter.

She enjoys jumping and again will always have a go for you, with both rustic and coloured fences, she is currently popping round 65/70cm. She will jump up and down steps confidently too.

A lovely nature, kind and easy on the ground. Happy in or out, alone or in company. She really will be your best friend.

She has good stable manners, good to catch/lead/bath/clip/shoe (currently just in fronts but been shod behind with no issue/loading sometimes takes a moment but a bucket of feed does the job.

She would suit a confident, competent rider to continue to produce her on, she's an older head on young shoulders but is only just 6.

She'd love a family to go out and have fun with, doing a bit of everything. Endurance would also probably be right up her street too as she is forward thinking and independent.

Up to date with everything
No loans/trials etc
She is on sales livery

6yo
15.2hh
Ex Flat Racehorse - ROR eligible

I really can’t believe he is still available! He is going to be such a fun and cool little horse in the future.

Cracker has been out hacking, alone and in company. He is not phased by any type of traffic and is brave enough to lead other horses past busses and tractors!

Cracker loves to jump. He is bold and brave into a fence, and will rarely ever knock a pole. He is clever and will sort out his strides out himself. Cracker is progressing on the flat and will in time do a lovely dressage test. He has such great movement, and is balanced and rhythmical. Cracker recently went out XC schooling for the first time and wow did he blow us away. He went round there like he’s being doing it his whole life. In time I think Cracker could go eventing as he is just starting to show us what he is made of.

Cracker has..
3 established paces, moves incredibly well, very balanced and in a nice rhythm
Jumps show jumps cleanly and rarely gets a pole
Is a bold and clever jumper out XC
What more could you want?!

This is an excellent forever home for the right horse who is easy to handle, good in traffic and is ready for a slower pace of life, daily turn out and light hacking a couple of times a week. Must be a nice character.

My mare is a bit lame and arthritic so the friend needs to be happy not to have a job and be low lami risk as they will go out every day.

I am a lady in my fifties and have owned my mare since she was 6, now 18.

Beautifully built, kind, and forward-thinking gelding looking for a loving, capable home. Skeggy is a 10-year-old Thoroughbred with a strong topline, excellent schooling, and a wonderfully trainable brain. He’s competed in unaffiliated dressage and show jumping (up to 90cm), enjoys cross country and hacking, and has also taken part in fun rides like Windsor.

Retrained with a focus on groundwork and balance, he’s polite, intelligent, and willing—an ideal partner for a confident amateur or experienced rider who wants to continue his education. He’s been brought on slowly and has low mileage, with lots of potential still to explore.

Excellent with farrier, vet, dentist, and loads well with regular practice. One old cosmetic scar on hind leg from racing days—purely visual, no impact on performance. Previously had ulcers due to limited turnout; fully treated, and thriving now in a herd with ample turnout.

Includes well-fitting dressage and jumping saddles, rugs, and tack.

This is an incredibly sad sale of a special horse who deserves a home where he’ll be truly appreciated. Home will be vetted.

12yo 15hh welsh cob gelding. Dragon is a very sweet and loving boy who always aims to please.

Excellent to shoe, box, catch, clip etc. Full history known as I bought him straight from the breeder in 2020

Schools well under saddle and excellent out hacking in company or on his own. Dragon is a very genuine boy in and out of the stable. Has 3 super paces - a really easy way of going.

Would excel in dressage, has done lots of unaffiliated to prelim. Could easily move up/progress further in BD. Dragon has also done fun rides/beach rides and would also make a great hunter as he is very sensible, although this is something we have never done.

Ridden and competed regularly in show jumping by 12yo jockey. Has done lots of arena hires over the years and shows. Has done stay aways for jumping and dressage and unfazed by a busy show atmosphere.

Excellent in open spaces & bomproof in the heaviest of traffic. Very honest and hard to find type - Dragon is a super all round horse, would suit a competent teen or lady. He’s used to a busy and varied life with us, with plenty of hacking and outings with other ponies we have.

Always lived in a big mixed herd, and used to being one of many. Would love for him to be in a home one to one to have the attention he deserves.
