  • 9 years
  • 16 hands
Teddy is a 9 year old ex-race horse. His last race was back in 2020. Teddy did 2 flat races and 1 hurdle. He came out due to not being fast enough.

Teddy would be best suited to a confident, calm and fun rider, a 1 to 1 would be best. He is best hacked out in company as he takes his confidence from his rider and can be nappy on his own. He would suit a busy yard with company and a consistent schedule.

He has done a few dressage lessons and lots of exploring with me but has potential for so much more. He has not jumped since being in my ownership and is very nervous of poles, and xc jumps. So if this was something you are looking for he would need a lot of time and patience for him to get there.

Teddy is looking for his forever home where he will have fun and learn new things.
Teddy can be sharp no novices please. He is a big baby at heart who needs reassurance.
Teddy is good with farrier, dentist but thinks he is a pocket horse so personal space is not his best trait.

Teddy has no known medical issues or long term injuries. Other than the well known classic thoroughbred cuts and scrapes

I am selling Teddy due to no longer having the time or finances to afford him. His new home is very important to me.

Vices: Weaving, when he is in a stable and he is anxious he will weave. A weave bar has proved to stop this.

Can be a nervous traveler. Winnies and can kick out at trailer. It can take time to get him loaded so patience is key.

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.

Very Sad Sale

16.3hh Gelding TB Easy /  PC / RC / Hunting / family horse.

Confidence-giving type. (He was my daughter's first horse off ponies.)

A really easy, gentleman on the ground, and ridden. Renewing would suit teenagers, adults, or a mother-daughter/ son share. He can be ridden as little or as often as you like. Great in all weathers, no change in temperament.

He has taken part in most PC and RC activities, including PC camp (Malvern PC), attended rallies, SJ, XC, dressage, fun rides, and shows.

Lovely hunter, goes first or last. Hunted last season with the Croome, Cotswolds Vale, and the Farmers Bloodhounds, XC and SJ are all done in a lovely, balanced rhythm.

Great in open fields, on roads, out hacking, good in traffic. Hacks alone or in company, and he can be left in the yard.

Good to box (in trailer or lorry), clip and shoe.

He is low mileage. A five-star home is very important. He is an honest and genuine horse. Good to do in all ways. He is for sale due to a change in circumstances. Please phone for inquiries.

Very sadly for your consideration, through NO fault of his own

ONE FOR NAVIGATION (Dinosaur)

Very eyecatching, 8yo, 17.2hh, bay, Irish TB gelding with lots of bone

Talented BE prospect/quality RC horse

Low mileage, scopey jump, lovely paces, long stride, forward going, snaffle mouthed, affectionate horse


Raced lightly as a 4yo NH but big & weak, bought straight from trainer, then 18mths of slowly bringing on with lots of lessons & clinics, XC & SJ hire, couple of unaffiliated dressage, few hunter trials & a mini ODE

Last 18mths done very little due to jockey struggling with health

Positive, easy to train, happy, honest & comfy horse to ride, hacks nicely in company & hacked plenty alone

Never napped or reared, but can get excited & have odd buck, bunny hop, shy

Not for novices simply due to his size & breed & can be a typical TB both on the ground & to ride, but zero malice,

Has a superficial blemish to back foot from injury as a foal with scar tissue (which just looks like mudfever, but not) & abnormal hoof growth (half hoof has vertical ridges, but fully shod & no issues). Has a splint on a front leg

No major lameness with me, just the odd bruise or gravel. Only seen vet for jabs & teeth

Thrives off lots of good hard feed, forage & grass, turnout & equine companions

Up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth & farrier

Good to load (occasionally slow to leave a party & I take a companion if need to walk a course), good to shoe, easy to clip, can get wriggly to tack up/on trailer/when things excite him

Top, longterm home with a lovely person & lots of turnout with others essential

Tack, rugs & gear also available

Very affectionate on ground, loves children, mini Shetlands & rams!

In light work so interested buyer welcome to come multiple times (no loans or LWVTB please)

My perfect horse, but sadly I met him at the wrong time as I'm needing to retire from riding due to longterm, worsening fibromyalgia/ME

Smart Competition Horse

  • Thoroughbred
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 8 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Grassroots Horse and beyond
  • Double clears BE90
  • ROR eligible

Flight to Australia force the sale of a much loved horse.

Time Bandit is an athletic, well put together horse who has competed with confidence in eventing, showjumping, dressage and showing.

He moves and jumps well, with an exceptional walk and uphill canter.

I have predominantly evented Percy at BE90 & BE100, if I could use a stop watch I could say with great success! Before I fly I have a few BE100s lined up however, I believe Percy has the quality to go much further than this. He is brave and fast xc never having a jumping fault. So would be handy at Team Chasing.

We have also dabbled in showjumping and showing, jumping up to discovery on a ticket getting one rider error pole. And receiving great feedback from showing judges who all have really liked him.

Last year he qualified for the ROR championship and was one place away from qualifying for the Rising Stars Racehorse to Riding Horse Championship at London International - if I put more time into this discipline we could have gone to some cool places I’m sure.

Percy raced over hurdles before I purchased him in October 2022 straight after his last race, injury free. Whilst I was focusing on my final year of University (2024) he went to a retired 5* event rider for some schooling and this has really improved his way of going.

He hacks out alone or in company, and jumps around the farm. Always snaffled mouthed.

Is an absolute gentleman on the ground, perfect to clip, shoe, travel etc. I have taken him places by myself and he’s easy.

He’s feet are good, I think he’s lost one shoe in the three years I’ve had him!

Even though I have flights booked I am in no rush to sell him. He is my best friend and a family pet. I am in tears writing this advert however he deserves to be kept busy and not be a field ornament.

Also apologies for the lack of Photos, I don’t really have many! But can send videos on request.

Polly , a stunning 16.1/16.2hh 5 year old ex-racer, bay Thoroughbred mare with a beautiful temperament both under saddle and on the ground. Polly is a true head-turner.

She has transitioned wonderfully from her racing career to a more relaxed riding lifestyle, showing exceptional willingness and a calm demeanor. eligible for ROR as has been in training.

Polly is incredibly gentle and easy to handle, making her a joy to be around. She is responsive and attentive when riding. Proving to be a promising prospect for the perfect all-rounder or competition horse, Polly’s kind nature and adaptable spirit make her an excellent choice.

Her training is well-rounded, including basic dressage, and she enjoys hacking and going out and about to different venues

Hacks out alone or in company, happy to lead or go behind.

3 balanced paces, and works beautifully, we have really focused on building up her strength and filling out her rather large frame! Polly has started jumping and is ready to go out to arena hires with courses which she will be doing in the next week or so. She really enjoys jumping,already popping 80 - 90 cm, showing lovely technique, willingness and a super bold attitude.

Been hunting and was an absolute gem, not strong or silly just an absolute pleasure, just an absolute dream and one of my most relaxing rides to date!

Polly gets along well with other horses and is easy to load, shoe, and clip. With her winning personality and elegant presence, Polly is ready to form a special bond with her new owner.

Be a fantastic all-rounder/ eventer, would suit an ambitious amateur or competent teenager looking to do more

Very bold! And so professional bombproof in the heaviest of traffic! Crosses A roads, cars and trailers not an issue

No injuries, or vices, retired sound just not in love with racing

Please note she does have a parrot mouth, this will flag up on a vetting, whilst it doesn’t affect her in any way , teeth do usually need doing more regularly and it is something that has to be taken into consideration. This is taken into account with her price
