Longlisted for European Championships Schoolmaster

  • Longlisted for European Youth Championships at CoH 2023
  • The perfect schoolmaster with the sweetest soul to match, solely handled and ridden by children.
Thomas is a former successful FEI CoH horse, who has won several Premier Leagues, High Profiles and competed at CDIs internationally, with >73% scores. In 2023, he was longlisted for the FEI Youth European Championships.

Thomas has adored his current job, teaching a young rider all about dressage. Thomas is trained to medium, but currently comfortably training and competing at Elementary with a young rider. Thomas has taken his young rider from prelim to competing Elementary with him in only 6 months, taking her to Areas and the Sheepgate U25 Championships only a few months after she started BD.

Thomas is absolute gold dust, what sets him apart is his wonderful temperament. Throughout the journey he’s looked after his rider every step of the way, and he has been the most loving of best friends. He’s incredibly easy to manage at home and at competitions, he has been solely managed by the young rider herself whilst out competing and has been an absolute saint with her, never been spooky or silly and such a confidence giver. He is the perfect horse to transition from ponies to horses with, his young rider was riding a 13hh pony before him and it couldn’t have been an easier transition.

For his age, he’s low mileage and still loves his work. We feel he would really suit going to another really loving family where he can teach another young rider or amateur the tricks, and take them to Areas/Regionals. However he wouldn’t suit a super competitive or pressurised lifestyle, or someone who wanted to compete above elementary.

Some easily manageable medical history, reflected in his price.

Incredibly heartbreaking sale, forced by university plans. 10-star home with a lot of love to dedicate to this special boy is essential, he won’t just go to anyone!

We are well aware we are looking for the impossible but have always been successful so no harm in looking!

Through a series of the usual horse misfortunes, including catastrophic injury, sudden loss and lameness, I find myself without much joy in riding.

All being well the 'sportier' models amongst our horsey family will return to gainful employment after the Summer. But I would love to try and have some fun, without the pressure of high level competition in the meantime.
Picture the scene a beautiful summer morning (or evening) hack around the Surrey Hills. Or an evening SJ clinic over the dizzy heights of 90cm. or a fun ride trotting in and out of the water jump with the kids - all without the threat of dying in the process! I am not trying to replace my small tour dressage horses (time will do that) I simply want to remember what it means to have some fun.

So either an eventing schoolmaster or perhaps a horse who has seen and done it at a high level and would love a step down and a varied life and to be loved!

15hh - 16.2hh, gelding or mare. 8yrs +. Must be sound (enough for the job) and sane (this is non negotiable) I only have enough life insurance for my dressage lot.

Why might you consider this you may be asking? if you have a lovely horse that you can't sell for some reason, want back in 6, 12, 24 months for some reason or love him/her too much to turn them over to the young rider market to be risked, this may suit.

We have them at home, a track record of previous loans, masses of all year sand turnout, every day means every day, fabulous stables, brilliant International arena, hacking etc. Our vets, trainers (well known), farriers, physios and grooms will all tell you if they were a horse they would live with us. It wouldn't suit anyone wanting a horse campaigned, on a big yard. They would live with our big dressage boys, rehab Spanish, Shetland and retired (and a few sheep!).

Open minded on breed, size, age, medical etc. There are just a couple of criteria that are critical.

In Winter I ride under lights at night, often on my own in all weathers - they must be safe in this without blinkers!
Hacking Safely for us includes traffic, farm vehicles, open space, roads in company and alone, without the need for draw reins for safety!
Please no 17.2hh or rising 4 years olds.
No rehabilitations ( I have enough of my own!) and a PHD in this, I don't need any more case studies.
Nothing that has to be led around in a nose ring! We really care about having horses who are 'nice characters'
Please email in first instance with any ideas. We are based close to Guildford.
  • Loan or possible Lease - NOT BUYING AT MOMENT
  • To join family yard of Dressage horses who live like Kings and Queens
  • May suit much loved horse to step down, pregnancy break or just a plain no nonsense loan home

Been back with me for all few months and he’s been his usual fab self just coming back from Wales jumping 3/3 clears.

Suit a brave amateur or a professional to add to their string, anyone can ride him. Super temperament and lovely to do,

The lovely Muffin is rising 7yo with so much to give. She will be perfect for an amateur or young rider wanting to have some fun in any field. She’s super careful and competitive showjumping with very tidy (and photogenic!) legs over a fence. In time she would also definitely be very speedy against the clock!

Muffin has also evented to 100, proving very brave and fun. She’s not a spooky type, loves her xc and is still young with lots of exciting potential ahead of her and would be a great contender for Cotswold cup or Badminton grassroots. She’s ready to go out and get some more experience with this under her belt.

Muffin is very safe and straight. Hacks like a dream and goes in a snaffle for everything. She’s not for a total novice as expected as she’s still young and learning herself, but she would be fab for a competent amateur wanting to have some fun.

Open to any vet checks with no concerns or history.

Sad sale of the lovely Issy. She has competed with amateur rider around 1m taking part in national finals etc and being a fantastic first horse and she’d absolutely do this again. However she also has got scope there to step up to some bigger tracks with the right rider.

Issy is snaffle mouthed and a very polite ride. She likes a bit of leg there but isn’t lazy. Likes to leave all the fences up and is honest and helps out where she can.

She is so easy and kind on the ground to do everything with. And a total pleasure to have on the yard and manage. Great with clipping, loading, travelling and everything that makes her super easy for even the non horsey parents!

On the flat she schooled up to PSG level as a young horse. Is a very impressive mover and knows her work!

Never been sick or sorry.

Her only quirk is she doesn’t like hacking alone but is great in company. Doesn’t hot up in open spaces etc.

Elvis is a true competition schoolmaster with an impressive record and a huge amount of experience to offer. Bred by Michael Whitaker, he has successfully competed up to 1.20m, consistently producing confident, clear rounds – including a double clear at 1.20m just last week.

Bold, careful, and experienced, Elvis knows his job inside out. He is a forward, fun, and competitive ride who thrives in the ring and would suit a competent amateur or junior looking to step up with a genuine, well-produced partner.

Across country, Elvis is an absolute machine – bold, brave, and clever, making him ideal for team chasing or someone wanting a horse that loves to get out and have fun.

He is good to do in all ways – easy to handle, catch, shoe, load, clip, and travel. He has a superficial scar on his torso from a youthful scrape, purely cosmetic and with no effect on his performance or soundness.

Elvis is a kind, talented schoolmaster who’s still very much in his prime. He’s ready to give his next rider all the confidence, experience, and enjoyment they could wish for – whether in the showjumping ring, out eventing, or flying fences across the country

15.3hh | 17yo | Bay Irish Mare

The ultimate pocket rocket who will happily step up for the bigger jumping days but is equally capable of stepping down for a competent child.

Missy has done every fun ride going and has enjoyed many trips to the beach with both children and adults. She is a well-known face on the hunting field and absolutely thrives in that environment.

Previously whipped-in in Ireland before coming to us, Missy absolutely loves her hunting and jumping. In the 7 years I’ve owned her she has never stopped at a fence. She will happily sit anywhere in the field and is not strong, just keen and enthusiastic about her job.

That said, I wouldn’t put a complete novice on her out hunting, simply because she enjoys it so much and may be a little much for someone brand new to hunting.

At home she is quiet enough for a novice.

Missy is clueless in the school, but will happily pop round a course of show jumps or cross-country fences. She hacks alone, is absolutely bombproof, and takes everything in her stride.

She is easy to do in all ways with absolutely no vices.

A genuine, much-loved mare looking for a fun home where she can continue to do what she loves.

Never sick or sorry and doesn’t need riding every day.

Meet Robby – The Ultimate Schoolmaster & Confidence Giver

Robby is a lovely 17-year-young, 16.2hh Maxi Cob gelding looking for a kind and knowledgeable home where he can enjoy happy hacking, hunting and fun days out.

A genuine schoolmaster and nanny horse, Robby has taught countless riders over the years. He is a real confidence giver and an easy, enjoyable ride. Anyone can hack him out and he has safely introduced many people to riding and hunting. He loves beach rides, pub rides, and a day out with the hounds, and has given many riders their first enjoyable days hunting.

He does require a little management once a year to keep him comfortable. X-rays have shown slight navicular changes in his near fore. His coffin joint has been injected and he wears pads in front. He is currently sound, happy and still enjoying his job, with no reason he couldn’t do a few more seasons.

Please note: Robby will not pass a full vetting, so please don’t enquire if this is essential. However, he passes the veterinary inspection every year for my riding school licence and continues to work happily.

Important:
• No time wasters
• No loans or payment plans
• Not for someone wanting to jump grassroots
• No one wanting to bring trainers – he is not going to a schooling home

Normal, genuine homes only please.

Transport can be arranged and part exchange may be considered. Priced realistically for a quick, straightforward sale, but he will not be given away.

Reason for sale: The hirelings weren’t busy enough this season so I’m rethinking my career and moving some of my older horses on to loving, knowledgeable homes.

Fred has been the most super first horse for a confident amateur to learn the ropes on.

He is a fabulous stamp a true leg in each corner weight carrying type. He has never been lame sick or sorry and has turned his hoof to a variety of disciplines.

Fred was bought from a riding school where he was a used for more advanced riders and hacking. Prior to this he was in a hunting home.

Fred has enjoyed a varied life of hacking, dressage and jumping. He has done a good few unaffiliated prelim tests and always tries his best, he is a very accurate horse. He has also done plenty of unaffiliated showjumping jumping around courses of 70/80cm. He really loves his jumping and will jump all fillers planks etc. He takes you into a fence and is forgiving on a miss stride.

Fred has been good to hack, he hacks alone and in company. He is good in traffic and open spaces. He is also happy to pop over some cross-country fences and is a really fun ride. He has done a couple of fun rides from the yard to the pub etc.

Fred is good to do on the ground, catch, clip, shoe, load etc. He has a lovely nature, he is never nasty, enjoys all the fuss and attention. He is a good doer and is happy to be turned out individually or as part of a herd.

Fred is looking for his new home due to his owner wanting to now go on and jump bigger tracks affiliated, so this is a sad sale on behalf of a client.

Ideally Fred is looking for someone to carry on having lots of fun, he wouldn’t be for a nervous/ complete novice rider as he is not a kick along, however he is not a hot sharp horse.

Price reflects importance of home.
