Mare for full loan to move yards for companion or light hacking


Ref #: 391795
  • Sweet mare, would suit light work and/or companion home
  • Would suit a home with other horses and access to a stable in bad weather
  • She loves polo mints !!
  • Thoroughbred

  • Sweet mare, would suit light work and/or companion home
  • Would suit a home with other horses and access to a stable in bad weather
  • She loves polo mints !!

Connie is a very sweet mare now 26 years old and looking for a home as a light hacker or just as a companion Horse.

Connie is an ex racehorse although she retired age 7. She is a thoroughbred who has had a full life with lots of experience. She prefers to hack out with company.

She would suit a home where she has horsey friends and access to a stable in bad weather.

Connie is easy to handle and is very friendly towards horses and people.

She will do anything for a polo mint! She needs rugs and regular feeding. She does need some encouragement loading sometimes.

She has been out of work for the past three months due to my personal circumstances.

Up-to-date with worming teeth and feet.

She would be free to a good home. I am looking for someone experienced in caring for older horses who can give her the love and attention she deserves. I would need a loan agreement which outlines care expectations, regular updates and return condition. I would also do a Home check and require references to ensure she’s going to a knowledgeable and caring environment. Happy to chat if that’s easier.

Weatherby's well bred TB mare - Natural horsemanship, Proven Broodmare, Quiet Companion

FOR SALE OR LOAN

Ref #: 365555
  • Bach- Nijinsky - Northern Dancer
  • Potential Natural Horsemanship / Horse Agility
  • Excellent proven broodmare - Produced an incredible Connemara x TB by Josie Jump in 2024
£1,500
  • Thoroughbred
  • Chestnut
  • Mare
  • 16 years
  • 15.3 hands
  • Bach- Nijinsky - Northern Dancer
  • Potential Natural Horsemanship / Horse Agility
  • Excellent proven broodmare - Produced an incredible Connemara x TB by Josie Jump in 2024

For sale or loan from a private genuinely loving home, a pretty and sweet natured 15.2-15.3hh 16 y.o very well bred Weatherby's National Hunt ex racehorse Thoroughbred mare who has just been a mum for the last 6 years of her life. She has not been ridden / worked in any way for 6 years.

I may consider loaning her if she was kept in West Sussex

Now needs a new experienced home either as a proven broodmare or could potentially be brought back into lighter work with the right person. She did race, just didn't like it so she is ROR eligible.

She apparently did do a bit of show jumping and cross country in-between racing and being a mum before her current home where she has just been a broodmare for the last few years.

A video of her jumping hurdles can be seen in this advert below the description.

She would also make a nice natural horsemanship project or do some fun horse agility with.

She has been an incredible broodmare producing outstanding wonderful natured and strongly built offspring. Has taken first time both naturally and via AI. Foals easily and is a great mum, just knows her job well.

Produced a truly oustanding Connemara cross TB foal by the very sought after Josie Jump in 2024. Huge potential to produce the same again.

This mare is a very good do-er with NO HEALTH ISSUES and good barefoot kept hooves (professionally equine podiatrist trimmed). Upto date with vaccines, teeth rasping and is on a worming programme with consistantly clear worm tests.

She is used to being with mares and geldings but is scared of being bullied so needs quieter companions.

She is good to handle and transport.

Will only go to a 5 star loving and caring home with proper experience and knowledge of ex racehorse thoroughbreds!

Only still available due to a continuous stream of people lying to me about what they can actually offer for this mare. Please do not enquire about her unless you can genuinely provide the right experienced loving and caring home with proper facilities to keep such a horse. This will be checked.

Scammers will not be tolerated!

Please message me with any questions

Erin is an incredibly sweet-natured mare who has been with us for over 200 days, making her our longest resident and the one we're most eager to see find her perfect match. She is searching for a loving home exclusively as a non-ridden companion.

Erin thrives on companionship; she is at her happiest and most secure with a calm, steady friend by her side, and it's essential that she'll never be left without a buddy. She would be an absolute delight for someone who truly understands the reward of building a relationship with a gentle mare.

Despite her initial sensitivity, Erin quickly shows her true, loving nature to those who are patient and kind. Once she settles into a new routine and trusts her handlers, she is good to handle and builds a quiet, deep bond. Her preference is to live out 24/7, she’s currently happily integrated into a large, mixed herd. This mare is looking for a calm, consistent, and low-pressure environment—a place where she can be her authentic self.

Erin would be a wonderful, rewarding match for someone who has experience with sensitive horses and is looking for a loyal, equine friend to dote on.
