A striking 16.3hh, 8-year-old chestnut gelding by the world-renowned stallion Foundation, offering the rare combination of proven dressage talent with an exciting future ahead in eventing or show jumping.

Successfully competed to Medium level in British Dressage, he has three expressive, correct paces, an uphill frame and a naturally balanced way of going. Established changes and lateral work.

More recently, he has discovered a genuine love for jumping, taking to the sport with enthusiasm and natural ability. In limited outings he has jumped double clear at BS to 1.10m, on a ticket, proving to be scopey and careful with an excellent attitude. Not spooky in anyway. He is ready to affiliate and be really competitive.

He has been cross-country schooling, where he proved bold, brave and straightforward, jumping ditches, steps and water and absolutely loved it. His versatility makes him an exciting prospect for someone wanting to compete across disciplines, whether in eventing or showjumping.

Entered for his first few events.

This is a genuine, quality horse with the talent and temperament to suit an ambitious amateur or professional alike. A beautiful model with presence, ability and a bright future ahead. Same home since a 4yo and brought from the breeder so full history known. Lovely and easy to do on the ground, great to hack, alone or in company, shoe/clip and travels in a lorry and trailer.

Mitho is an eye-catching, quality bred, sensitive individual with three correct, balanced, and expressive paces, combined with a trainable brain.

He is working at elementary level and has been produced slowly and correctly, allowing him plenty of time to mature both physically and mentally with his long-term future in mind.

He would suit a competent amateur and is talented enough for a professional or ambitious young rider to take through the levels - he would not be suitable for nervous or novice riders.

Mitho is a forward-going type who thrives on variety and frequent work and would benefit from a calm, consistent environment with good facilities.

He enjoys popping a jump and hacks out in company.

He is happy to live in or out but benefits from living out 24/7. He is good to catch, clip, shoe, load and travel.

This is a quality horse for someone who is experienced and is willing to invest time to build a partnership together.

Is a seriously kind and talented sport horse who really excels in the dressage and show jump arena.

He’s snaffle mouthed, and the kindest boy on the ground.

For the last few years he has been exclusively used for dressage. He’s qualified for Area festival in both prelim and novice the last 3 years. He was 3rd at the Midway novice FSM 24 and 11th novice areas 2025. He’s training at elementary and isn’t far from going out at this level.

He has a seriously talented jump, and gives the best feeling over a fence. Although he lacks experience at jumping he’s gaining in confidence every time he jumps and reallly enjoys it.

Out an about he is really easy to handle. Doesn’t get fizzy and anxious going places. Loads and travel brilliantly. He’s great in open spaces and is snaffle mouthed in all disciplines.

Fiona - 16.2hh lightweight 5yr old bay mare with beautiful eventing breeding - For Romance II / Lauries Crusader TB -

Sweet kind mare only started any education from the field in December 2024 and has been a delight to work with. Easy to handle on and off the ground. Broken in from a raw 4-year-old in 8 weeks on a professional yard.

Ready to go. Jumps round a course at home, over arena xc fences and happily hacks out in big open spaces. Good for the farrier to trim (no shoes yet), loads and travels. Recently been to her first competition where she jumped two lovely clear rounds at local venue. She's schooling beautifully at home and we have just started introducing lateral work. Shes forward going, snaffle-mouthed and a pleasure to work with.

Bought by the owner as a foal from Germany and spent the first 4 years in the field in the south of France.

Owners' financial circumstances have changed, so looking for a competitive and knowledgeable home with a competent rider to produce on. Would suit a competent amateur or professional.

Ready to view now near Devizes, Wiltshire.

Zelini is a perfect all rounder for a competent amateur to have fun with. He has been in the same home for the past 5 years, my daughter was 12 at the time and since then he has looked after her and gave her experience in all the disciplines. In the last couple years he has took my daughter from jumping round 80cm unaffiliated to 1.20m affiliated shows going double clear.

We are looking for a 5 star home for him and for him to look after someone at the lower levels of showjumping or he would be perfect as an allrounder doing dressage, xc etc for someone that just wants to have fun and enjoy themselves.

A sad sell of this beautiful horse that we love.

Homebred Dapple Grey Gelding by Cevin Z

Rio named during the 2016 Olympics is the first horse I ever bred and is out of my first horse who took me to my first events etc and so unsurprisingly he is very loved and means alot to me! I have come to the hard decision to sell him as I have expanded my interest in breeding and now have alot of youngsters on the ground and more on the way! Rio much prefers low level 80/90 jumping to my desired heights and enjoys showing and hacking alot more than I do!! I feel rather than me keeping him just because i'm being sentimental it would be lovely to find him a home that appreciates him and loves him just as much but where he can do a job that he enjoys! Over the years he has been picked up and put down and always left till last as he's easy and didn't mind and my event horses always took priority! I'd love to find him a home where he is someone's everything even if that just means they have more time to brush him and share their tea and biscuits!

Rio has turned his hoof to most things! He's done RC/UA dressage, BE, BS, hunted, funrides, beach rides, borrowed by friends and most recently he went on loan to a family friend where he was very successful in show hunter classes with many wins and placings his most notable success was taking Champion at Devon County Show 2025 and qualifying for Royal International. He very much enjoys this job and I can see him continuing to be very successful at it!

He's brilliant to hack, alone or in company, rides and leads, excellent in traffic and happily nanny's the youngsters.

Rio is good to do in all ways, doesn't need riding everyday but enjoys plently of turnout here. He doesn't mind being in or out, and is currently out at night in in the day with a herd of boys. He's good to clip, shoe, catch etc. Has only ever travelled in a lorry.

Like everyone he's not perfect and does have a few notable things to consider which are reflected in his price. He can get mild sweetitch in the summer if left to his own devices however we've never had a problem with this as he has a jab for it and wears a rug and you wouldn't know its something that can affect him!

I have his SI medicated when I feel he needs it. Happy to discuss in more detail but this is something we feel benefits him.

He can be horse shy in small busy warm ups and trys to turn away from oncoming horses. This has improved over time and is generally fine in big or quiet warm ups. He's happy schooling with others in the school at home/at clinics/lessons etc.

A top long term home is a priority to me where he will be cherished! Although generally easy I'd like him to go to an experienced knowledgeable home.

Lots of photos and videos available right from only a few minutes old!

Quiz is a very sweet and honest mare that has the best work man like attitude in every way possible!

Quiz is by AES stallion Milo who is very well related with his sire being Lord Luis, a successful showjumper under Geoff Billington, Quiz’s Dam is by the world-famous stallion Indoctro, a showjumping stallion that has been highly influential in today’s breeding of some of the most world class horses. Quiz is therefore a very quality mare that is well bred and well related with a very exciting future ahead of her.

Quiz has been produced slowly with her future in mind. She has done a fair few unaffiliated competitions and some British novices on a ticket. She has also been to a camp where she stayed away from home and was a dream from start to finish.

She is a very amenable mare that will jump whatever is put in front of her. She will jump of a miss stride and does not get offended if you get it wrong. She has oodles of scope and will certainly go up the levels in the right hands.

Quiz is currently schooling nicely on the flat, she has auto changes with three nice paces. She has a correct walk, rhythmic trot and an uphill canter. She is a very brave jumper so would certainly make a lovely event horse.

Quiz is good to hack alone and in company and has seen a small variety of traffic with no issues.

Quiz is a dream to do on the ground, she is very mannerly with a lovable personality. She is good to shoe, catch, clip, load etc.

Due to Quiz’s age and her ability, we would love quiz to go to a confident home who can bring out the best in her. This is a sad sale as she has been in the same home since she was a foal. Genuine reason for sale on behalf of the owner.

Easy to do away from home, hacks out alone or in company, good in traffic.

Fabulous Irish Draught gelding by Coilldarach Scirocco, out of a Welcome Flagmount mare

This striking lad just oozes quality. With straight movement, clean legs and 10 inches of bone, Max is a serious HOYS centre line Maxi prospect or top contender for Draught classes - He moves with power and rhythm, his presence turning heads wherever he goes.

He has just started his dressage training, which is made easy by his exceptionally trainable brain - a lovely active walk, a flowing trot and a naturally well balanced canter - the judges are going to love him whether he is in the dressage arena or the show ring!

Max is safe to ride in open spaces and was impeccably behaved for his morning out with the hounds, where he received many compliments on his fabulous manners and temperament.

He is excellent to hack - patient to open gates and great in traffic - he passes donkeys and barking dogs, taking everything in his stride with an exceptional attitude.

Max has a soft snaffle mouth, and is a real armchair ride on top of all of this

Easy to catch, bath, clip & shoe. Loads and travels like a pro. He is vice free, has no lumps bumps or sarcoids and is up to date with worming, vaccinations and dentistry

Affectionately known as Hippopotamax, this yard favourite is a pleasure to have around. He is a real eye catcher and is sure to do his best in any job.

Open to any and all checks, and has full set of clean x rays including neck and back before we backed him. Fully UTD with vaccines, worming, farrier etc (barefoot trim)

He will only be considered to a 10* competitive home

Rio is a striking 6-year-old gelding with the talent, temperament and versatility to shine across multiple disciplines.

Lightly competed by myself and my 14-year-old son, he has already won classes up to 1m and shows clear scope to progress further with the right rider.

Brave, honest and naturally athletic, Rio has the movement, jump and mindset to excel in eventing or show jumping, while also having the quality for dressage.

He is straightforward and rideable, but he does need a rider who will ride him forward off the leg, he is very much more kick than pull. He’s snaffle-mouthed, responsive and keen to please, making him ideal for someone wanting to gain mileage, step up the levels and add value quickly.

He hacks confidently alone or in company, is unfazed by traffic, loads easily, stands quietly at shows and is excellent with the farrier and for vaccinations etc.

What really sets Rio apart is his exceptional temperament. He’s affectionate, easy to handle and mature well beyond his years—he truly doesn’t behave like a typical young horse. This makes him an excellent choice for a serious young rider, a parent/child share, or someone looking to produce a quality horse correctly for the future.

Rio is genuinely wasted on me and deserves a rider with the time and ambition to unlock his full potential.
