  • Proven Pony Club All-Rounder
  • Safe & Genuine Ride
  • Easy in Every Way

Bob is a genuine, kind and proven safe ride who has been a much-loved partner for his current teenage rider for the last few years. Very sadly offered for sale only due to the rider heading off to university.

He is an experienced Pony Club horse and has done a wide range of activities, making him a reliable and confidence-giving ride. Bob is straightforward, honest and always looks after his rider, making him an ideal choice for a teenager or amateur rider looking for a safe and enjoyable horse.

On the flat, Bob is easy and comfortable to ride, with a willing attitude and a sensible, uncomplicated way of going. He knows his job!

Bob enjoys his jumping and is brave and genuine to a fence, happily taking his rider round courses and activities.

He is easy to handle and manage in every way – good to catch, groom, tack up, load and clip, and is straightforward to hack both alone and in company.

A true, reliable all-rounder and a lovely family horse who is ready to step straight into another home and continue giving someone a safe and fun ride.


Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Harry

17.1hh | 5 year old Thoroughbred gelding by Sea Moon looking for his perfect home.

Harry came out of racing to us and has enjoyed some downtime while beginning his retraining. Since being with us, he has started flatwork, jumping in the school and hacking out nicely.

He is a very kind horse with a calm temperament and lovely attitude. Like many ex-racehorses, he can occasionally worry about little things, but he is genuine and simply needs reassurance and confidence from his rider.

A lovely big horse with plenty of bone and a nice stamp about him, Harry moves beautifully and has plenty of potential for someone wanting to produce a quality horse for ROR, eventing, dressage or hunting.

This is a horse we think a lot of, so finding the right home is very important to us. He deserves someone patient and kind who will continue his education and enjoy the journey with him.

Kind, calm temperament. Plenty of bone and a lovely stamp. Potential for ROR, eventing, dressage or hunting

Serious enquiries only please.

16.2hh 11yo tb gelding. Was in training in Ireland so RoR eligible but never raced and was turned away after training so low mileage. Excellent to hack alone and in company. Absolutely loves hacking.

Lovely on the ground. Barefoot. Good to catch, load, for the farrier, handle etc. Doesn't buck, rear, bolt and not a spooky type. He is buzzy when jumping and out and about.

I've always travelled him in company as he's more settled although know his previous home travelled him alone in a 3.5t.

Windsucks at feed time, this is reflected in his price. Home more important than price

He’s working well on the flat, is good to hack both alone and in company, and will happily pop a jump, though that hasn’t been a main focus so far.

He’d suit a confident, capable rider looking for a fun RC or grassroots eventing prospect.

Easy to catch and load, and currently shod all round.

Genuine sale due to a change in direction.

£3,500 – but the right home is far more important than price.

Irish tb rising 13 years old. Approx 16.1hh smart mare.

Very sweet temperament on and off horse. Can leave her for a couple of weeks and she doesn’t get excited when you’re back on her.

Has previously done point to point in Ireland and low level eventing.

Works nicely on the flat, in all 3 paces. Would do a good dressage test at Prelim/Novice level

Brilliant to hack in all traffic. Good in open spaces. Very soft mouth.

Will jump anything, but she is quick to a fence so wouldn’t suit a novice wanting to jump.

She deserves a loving home as she really is such a lovely horse.

Great to shoe, clip etc. No vices.

  • Good home sought for her
‘Can you see her’ aka Pearl is a beautiful 16.2hh big framed thoroughbred with good bone.

We picked her up in Nov 2024 after a tendon injury ended her promising race career, she was sound and ready to start her dressage career. Despite a promising start BD, 28 points from 5 outings scoring +70%, she picked up a tweak so we gave her the summer off as companion for young stock. Despite 2 attempts to bring her back into work over the winter, she’s not 100% sound and we don’t have the time or space to keep her.

Perhaps with 121 time and effort to rehab she could come good again, or with her breeding and temperament she’d make a lovely broodmare.

Home is far more important than money, although some contribution would be appreciated, she deserves a good life.

We’re looking for a forever home for our 16.1hh 6 year old gelding post racing. He’d be well suited to all disciplines due to his easy going mannerisms.

He’s polite to be around in all aspects, good to load, shoe, clip etc. He’s a very laid back horse without having the typical thoroughbred mindset.

Since retiring from the track he hasn’t done much retraining, however he will take anything in his stride that is asked of him.

He’d be perfect for a novice wanting to learn together, or even someone wanting to hack and have some fun with.

I am advertising him on behalf of my dad, please call the mobile number provided for him to answer any enquiries.

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.
