Freddie - 15.3hh TB 8 years old

Fred was raced a few times and retired sound in 2022 with no lumps, bumps or vices.

He is passported, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth, farrier and physio.

Fred is good to handle, load and clip. He stands well for the farrier and is currently shod. He comes to call and is always one of the first to greet you. However, he can be impatient at times so needs someone confident. He’s not nasty but is still young and will fidget and try his luck if he can.

Fred is your typical TB forward going ride so wouldn’t be suitable for a novice. He is never nasty under saddle and hasn’t bronked or bolted but has thrown an excited buck and will occasionally jog on the way home from a hack. He has been for canters in open spaces and pulls up fine going first or last. He likes to look at things when out and about but isn’t dangerous or unkind. He is good in traffic and has seen farm machinery.

Fred has done a bit of everything; Hacking, Schooling and jumping. He schools nicely in all three paces but is still slightly unbalanced due to inexperience. He’s been over coloured poles and rustic fences in both an outdoor and arena setting. All of which he seemed to enjoy proving honest and forward towards a fence.

Unfortunately, I have accepted that I do not have the confidence to do more with Fred and have realised he would be better suited to someone confident who wants to go out and so some all around local event. With the scope to do more.

Fred has had sarcoids removed in the past with no ongoing issues or reoccurrence. As well as treatment for ulcers which have been given the all clear by the vet. All of which we are happy to discuss with future owners.

He has a fitted saddle and bridle which can be sold at extra cost.

He can be tried at current yard with excellent hacking facilities and a large outdoor.

Message for more details, we are happy to discuss anything further and have lots of videos and photos.
This is a very sad and genuine sale and I really just want to find the best home for Fred where he will be loved and where he can reach his full potential and enjoy a more active lifestyle.

  • Very Genuine Sort, Snaffle Mouthed
  • Eventing, Dressage, Showing, Show Jumping, RoR
  • By Quality Road

Freddie is a stunning 9yo, 16.3hh bay gelding, bred by Juddmonte and by top USA stallion Quality Road; registered as Donate with full history known from a foal.

The quality of his breeding is clear to see, as he is a great example of a classic TB with lots of bone, good conformation and visually very impressive. Freddie ran a handful of times on the flat and in 2 P2Ps in Ireland and was just too slow and not made for racing.

We have been retraining Freddie since we purchased him from Ireland in 2021. He is good to hack alone or in company, good to catch, shoe, box etc. Well schooled on the flat, competed in UA Dressage, Arena Eventing, Show Jumping and enjoyed XC schooling up to 90cm and UA ODEs.

Freddie has plenty of scope with potential to go up the levels in time; he is currently most comfortable popping 80-90cm fences and courses, where he is developing confidence and really starting to take you into a fence. Freddie won his two arena eventing outings this spring and is qualified for the 80cm National Arena Eventing Championships at Elland Lodge next year. He has also undertaken some RoR showing, winning championships at local shows and we feel he could really excel in the show ring.

Freddie is not your typical TB, in that he is definitely more of a kick than pull type and is ridden in a snaffle and cavesson at all times.

He would be perfect for a competent rider to do a bit of everything with and have some fun on, or to be more focused down the eventing, dressage or showing route. Whilst Freddie is very laid back most of the time, he can still have TB moments, where he takes confidence from the rider, so only a knowledgeable and competent home with experience of TBs for this lovely chap.

Happy to live in or out. Up to date with teeth, feet and vacs, fit and ready to go.

We have put a lot of time and effort into this kind and genuine chap but personal circumstances force this very difficult sale, please call Nick on 07951231613 to further discuss.

ROSIE (Arumadaay- Adaay X Rum Swizzle). Beautiful, rising 5 year old, 15.1hh, bay, TB, mare.

Rosie is seeking a new home where she can continue to enjoy learning to progress in all disciplines.

Same home since birth, so full history known. Rosie was foaled and reared at Red Kite Stud in Rockbourne. She was backed in 2022, followed by three months of professional pre-training. She commenced training with Eve Johnson Houghton, and ran her first and only race on 18th January 2023.

Having made the decision not to continue her racing career, her owners moved her to Kentford Farm Stud where she was turned away until August 2024, after which she began training as a riding horse.

Rosie’s owners have put considerable effort into ensuring that she has a positive early education. She been professionally schooled over the past few months to ensure that she gets off to a good start. She hacks well and has seen a variety of farm machinery and other vehicles with no problems. She has been polite to canter out in open fields and very brave to hack out by herself.

In the school, she is coming along nicely and tries very hard to do as her rider asks. Begun some lateral work and works well in her basic paces. A very attractive mover with three active and correct paces, Rosie should do well in the future in the dressage arena. Begun jumping and is happy to pop a small fence.

Rosie has a very sweet nature on the ground and enjoys a fuss. She really needs to be someone's one and only now. Not suitable for a novice rider due to her age and experience. She is a sensitive little mare who tries really hard for her rider and will be best suited to a gentle and experienced older teenager or small adult to produce for any activity. Lovely little horse with so much to offer her new home.

The right home is extremely important!!

Malcolm 16.2hh 6yo TB Gelding ROR eligible.

Has just retired from racing & is ready for his own person to have fun with.

He is a super genuine, straightforward & laid back chap who will turn his hoof to anything.

Malcolm does basic flatwork. He has been to an arena hire where he didn’t turn a hair and happily jumped a course of 80cm showjumps. Scopey & not phased by any fillers.

Has been XC schooling too for the first time, taking it all in his stride, never says no. Happily jumping hedges, skinny’s, steps, doubles at angles, water, etc. You name it he’ll give it a go. Super clever and careful.

He is a more slow than go character but still doesn’t need much leg. He is a truly lovely horse who aims to please and would love his own person.

Snaffle mouthed. Kind temperament & well mannered.

Has hacked out alone or in company around open fields and a few times on the roads where he wasn’t fizzy or fazed by traffic or any surroundings.

Lives in & out in company. Good to box, travel & shoe. No vices.

Does have some small sarcoids underneath his body that don’t affect him and aren’t noticeable unless looked for.

May be suitable for a competent novice.

No loans. No payment plans. No timewasters or day trippers we are a busy yard. Serious enquiries only.

Long term 5* home owners priority.
