Raven Till Dawn


Ref #: 373195
  • Super temperament
  • Schooling well in all 3 paces
  • Hacks alone and in company
£2,750 ONO
  • Thoroughbred
  • Dark bay
  • Gelding

  • 16.2 hands
  • Super temperament
  • Schooling well in all 3 paces
  • Hacks alone and in company

Raven is a striking 6yo TB gelding standing at approx 16.2hh by Havana Gold out of Hamsat Elqamar.

Raven is a complete gent from head to toe. Will stand all day to be fussed and groomed, good to catch, clip, shoe, load and travel etc.

Hacks alone or in company on the buckle, schools well on the flat in all 3 paces and will pop a small course of jumps.

He loves to work and is eager to please. He has also attended a number of clinics and some shows.

Raven was in training and did two p2p’s but was just too chill to make it to the big tracks.

Since coming out of training he has done a bit of everything and has all the foundations in place to go on and make a really nice all round riding club horse.

This is an incredibly hard sale so please no more time wasters or video collectors.

He is going to be such a lovely horse for someone and I really can’t see why he’s still with me.

He may try it on with new riders but since being with me he has not stepped a hoof out of line and once he gets to know you he will do absolutely anything for you.


Top class RoR show horse or Dressage

  • A real exciting prospect for RoR qualifiers
  • True gentleman in every way
  • A dream to hack out

Gorgeous 16.3hands, grey, thoroughbred gelding, 9 years old.

Was lightly raced, low milage, due to no fault of his own.

He has started his showing career very successfully. RoR eligible and a top prospect for the RoR qualifiers for the bigger shows, absolutely loves his new job and is a true showman with beautiful paces and a temperament to die for. Equally this horse could go a long way in the dressage arena.

He has the most amazing temperament both ridden and on the ground, anyone can handle him and has even been led around by an 8 year old girl. He is the most super hack, alone or in company and has regularly been hacking out with my young children on small ponies, proving to be the perfect nanny and so he would be perfect to join in with family life or even a mother/teenager share. Although he is a big horse, he doesn’t ride massive, I’m only 5ft 4 and feel very comfortable on him so could suit a lady, gent or teenager.

Successfully shown in a double bridle but regularly ridden in a snaffle and is lovely and light in your hands.

Although I feel that his real talent lies in the showing or dressage arena, he does jump a small course of show jumps, has cross country schooled and have no doubt that he would be great to hunt so he could suit as an all rounder.

Good to shoe, clip, load, catch. Up to date with worming and vaccinations. No vices.

Fit and ready to go for the show season.

No time wasters, he deserves the very best of homes.

Hacks alone and company, up front or behind, been on pub rides, long distance rides and loves it.

Sound and vice free . Easy to clip, load , catch , handle etc and loves to be loved . Nearly ready to do low level events .

Doesn't buck/rear/bolt but no novices as still in re training and you need to know how to ride a TB . Will also have the odd sharp TB spook.

A horse I really enjoy but finances/vets bills/lorry bills has forced early decision. Loving home a must . Essex.

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.

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

VERB (registered name - Verbitude)

16.3 approx, 10 year old gelding.
Sire - VOCALISED

Been there, seen it, done it.

Verb is a gorgeous all-rounder. He has a super attitude to life, happy temperament, and great ridability.
He has spent the past 4 years with a teenager who has done a super job producing him. He is well schooled with 3 balanced, established paces and just loves to jump! He has been there done it- camp, clinics, competing etc.

He is easy to handle and have around. This is a very sad sale due to a rider injury (not related to him!).

He has previously raced making him ROR eligible.

He is a smart, chunky type of blood horse (you would more expect him to be ISH bred) who loves XC and has never said no!
If you are looking for fun he is your man. He is a great grassroots/ RC/ PC contender.

This horse loves life and human interaction. Looking for his next best friend to do life with.

Had a successful wind op in 2019.

Open to any trainer or vetting. Sold on behalf of his owner.

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.

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.

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

This is incredibly sad and a very hard decision that I am having to make due to life events. This has nothing to do with my beautiful mare. Please only get in contact if you are genuinely interested and have a 5* home waiting.

- 16.1
- Mare
- 7 yr old
- Thoroughbred, ROR Eligible
- Raced as a P2P in Ireland

Martha is a really sweet mare, she loves a fuss and enjoys a pamper.

We have been focussing on flat work, and have started to jump her through grids and a small course. She loves her jumping and will continue to improve with the right instruction. Martha is quiet and safe however she is a sports horse and benefits from being in full work.

Martha would do well in ROR showing or eventing and has come a long way in such a short space of time (I have had her for 1.5 years) and if money was no object in my life she wouldn’t be going anywhere.

Martha is good to clip, shoe, box and is good to hack, goes first or last.

Up to date with vaccinations and teeth.

Homes will be vetted before my beautiful mare goes anywhere.

Was bought for our daughter as a first horse, but he needs a stronger rider with experience. He is not being ridden at the moment. He is sound, good to clip, shoe, load and groom. He is turned out with other geldings at the moment and loves the company, but could also be turned out alone as long as he has a lot of human attention.

He loves a bit of fuss and is a pleasure to have on the yard, but is not for a novice rider. He is nervous when ridden around other horses that are cantering or trotting.

Optical Girl aka Darcey - 16.2hh 7yo Dark Bay Thoroughbred Mare

Darcey is an ex-chaser and would make an older teen/young adult an excellent eventer who wants their forever horse.

A genuine mare with fantastic manners who has been in regular work 5x a week.

Darcey is good in her own company but also great with others. She has lived out 24/7 happily but is currently Living in whilst in full work. She is happy to be out in the field or in the stable a very versatile horse!

She’s a gem to do everything with on the ground shoe, clip, have teeth done, load, travel etc stands nicely and calmly.

Darcey does hack alone or in company and happy to lead or stay behind. She goes very well in traffic fearless and stands patiently.

She loves to work she is a horse that just likes to be busy.

She schools well polite snaffle mouthed and has 3 correct balanced paces with lovely striding and works great in both outdoor and indoor school. Darcey could do with more schooling work due to her age and still in training.

As Darcey used is an ex chaser and loves to jump logs, hedges and XC of any shape or colour, she picks up nicely and is very bold to a jump.

She has been to arena hires, gridwork sessions and xc schooling and is as brave as they come, she will never stop even if she (or you) are completely wrong she will try her absolute best to get you out of trouble. Darcey will jump anything youpoint her too no filler or jump is too scary! She’s got plenty of scope confidently jumping 80-90 tracks and has only been in retraining since the start of winter, she could potentially go very far in the right hands!

She is NOT a novice ride. She’s never naughty or nasty she just forward going and really enjoys her work! I think she’d be best suited to a confident capable rider who is forward thinking wants to go out competing regularly. Darcey will really turn her hoof to anything but does especially enjoy her jumping.

She’s ready to go be someone next best friend and will be quickly snapped up!

Sad sale due to change in person circumstances.

Imperial Lord (Freddles)

Raced National Hunt until early ‘23, retired sound, no injuries. Suitable for ROR.

Beautifully bred: Imperial Monarch (Gallileo).

I’ve had him since June ‘23 and done loads of hacking, raised poles, light schooling to strengthen and fatten him up.

I tore my knee cartilage last year so didn’t do much spring/summer ‘24.

We’ve done a few unaffiliated shows over Xmas and now he’s ready to go out and have more fun.

Hacks in front or behind, he can have a cheeky spook in him but never malicious - no bucking or rearing.

Very good in traffic.

Successfully competed Arena eventing and Hunter trials up to 95cm this Winter.

Won his first time out Dressage and behaves impeccably in the warm up.

Stands nicely on the lorry.

Lovely to handle, a real pet.

Good to load, hot shoe, lunge, and clip.

Stabled at night but would prefer to live out.

Can be left in the field on his own.

Will weave if you leave him in without riding him.

Passed my 5 stage vetting in June ‘23 and had normal x-rays of his spine.

This horse is showing some real class.

Beautiful natural paces, very balanced canter, and a careful jump.

Would suit ambitious amateur with limited budget.

Personal reasons force sale.

No novices, no children looking for their first horse.
