Diva – Exceptional 3-Year-Old Sports Horse Prospect
Top-Class Breeding | Superb Temperament | Rare Opportunity

Looking for your next superstar. Meet Diva – a beautifully put-together 3-year-old filly bred to shine in all three phases. Lightly and professionally backed, this classy young mare is now ready to mature, grow into her talent and produce.

Why Diva?
Described as "a very sweet girl" with a kind, people-loving nature
Uncomplicated to back – forward-thinking, easy-going, and a joy to handle Straight, athletic, and naturally balanced with three quality paces


Breeding That Speaks Volumes
Sired by Jenson WFS – now no longer standing – whose limited offspring are already excelling in showjumping. With Cassini and El Salvador lines, the pedigree is elite.
Out of a brave and talented Novice-level event mare by the legendary Loughehoe Guy – a 100% TB, Grade A jumper and full brother to Barcelona Olympic bronze medalist, Irish.

A great Investment Opportunity
With her breeding, movement, and temperament, Diva is not just a top prospect—she’s a future star. Horses like this don’t come around often.

6 year old, 16.2, ISH gelding by Triomphe De Muze

I’ve produced numerous horses to 4*, and three to 5*, level over the years and this horse has the attitude and ability to jump around a 4* track

I bought Ollie as a 3 year old. He is a good looking, friendly horse who loves his work. He’s kind and generous with a cheeky character who will do anything for you, especially if you’ve got a polo. He did a little bit of everything as a 4 year old being produced correctly and steadily.

He competed at 90 as a 5 year old with 4 double clears out of 6 runs. so he’s seen most of the different XC questions and is confident with them.

He’s now competing at 100 and has a classic show jumping technique with correct paces, straight movement and plenty of ability to go up the levels. He will be competing at Pontispool 100 in a couple of weeks.

At 6, he’s understandably not the finished article yet but only needs more outings and experience to be very competetive.

He’s a genuine, forward going horse who would suit a calm and confident rider who wants to progress up the levels.

He loves being clipped and is easy to shoe and load.

Only for sale as (ageing) rider is running out of enthusiasm and energy competing 2 horses at the same level on his own.

Buddy came to me at the end of last year to be backed and given an education.

We have hacked, learnt to jump, taught him to walk, trot and canter on the bit and did multiple arena hires, he then had a couple of months in the field over the winter and has been back in work since February and is now ready to find a new home.

Although he is big he is a fun responsive ride.

He is lovely to have around the yard, a real sweet personality.

He is good to shoe, box clip, is laid back in the field and can be in or out.

Max is a stunning 16 1/2 gelding with exceptional breeding, fantastic personality and a good brain. Now rising 8 and coming into his prime, Max has spent the last 5 years of his life with us, since buying him as a 3 year old.

Max is a friendly and competitive horse who is very genuine, super careful with an impeccable natural technique. Max would suit a confident forward rider who is willing to invest the time to get the best out of him.

He has numerous wins and placings up to and including 1.25m and with some more ring experience and stay away shows, we have no doubt he will be a reliable and consistent horse, already proving to be careful and quick against the clock.

Max is a sound, healthy horse who works well on the flat with 3 great paces, lateral work, flying changes with great rideability. Max is good to shoe, clip, very easy on the ground, lives in or out. Fit and ready to go.

Mac – A One-in-a-Million Gentle Giant
Located in Essex | Contact: 07903 563930

Mac is a truly special horse – kind, gentle, and full of personality. He’s a joy to handle on the ground, loves attention, a good bath, and is always up for a cuddle.

Standing as a true gentle giant, Mac has done it all: camps, clinics, Pony Club, unaffiliated showjumping, and hunter trials (including placing first in pairs). He’s a proven all-rounder who turns his hoof to anything and does it with heart.

I’ve had the pleasure of owning Mac for just over two years. Prior to that, he came over from Ireland as a 4-year-old and has remained at the same yard since. He was hunted and gradually introduced to a variety of experiences.

Mac hacks out happily both alone and in company, and loves pub rides and fun rides. He’s easy to clip, shoe, load, wash – you name it, he takes it all in stride.

This is a heartbreaking sale through no fault of his own – I’m simply looking for something a bit different.

Mac is ideally suited to a rider who enjoys jumping out hunting and going for long days . He’s a proven hunter with a love for the big country and won’t think twice about flying a hedge – he’s taken on some serious days out, including Quorn, Pytchley, and Belvoir Ladies Days, where he jumped hedges close to 8ft with confidence and style. He’s also happy on quieter days – New Year’s parades, Boxing Day meets, and clean boot or bloodhound hunting.

Always snaffle-mouthed – whether out hunting, hacking, schooling, or in open fields – Mac is responsive and mannerly. He’s versatile and a true weight carrier, yet respectful and careful with lighter riders, making him suitable for a wide range of people.

He can live in or out, goes out with others (though can be playful due to his size), and is just as content turned out solo. He’s easy to catch, has no vices, and is up to date with vaccinations, teeth, physio, and strangles vaccine.

Extras:

Plenty of photos and videos available on request

Full wardrobe of rugs included

Fairfax 17.5” fully adjustable event saddle (professionally fitted regularly) available by separate negotiation

Mac is ready to make someone incredibly happy – he has so much to give.

Fit and ready to go. Entered for Aston Open Novice 15th May

Successfully evented up to 4* level, jumping clear xc at Burnham Market, Aston and Blair 4* shorts and completing Blenheim 4* Long in 2023.

He does have an old tendon injury, which has been stem celled, rehabbed and correctly brought back into work. The vets were very happy with his recent scan and given the go ahead to continue working.

Whilst we feel it’s not fair to try and get him back to 4* level he still has a lot to give someone, whether it’s pure dressage or show jumping; he could low level event but can be strong xc and would need a competent rider.

Super paces and scored 31 at 4* level and 27 at 3*, double clear at Advanced and lots of placings at intermediate level.

Super easy to do at home and at events, hacked out by his owner who’s mid 70s.

Lovely character and person.

Doug is a full up 16.3h 17 years young kwpn gelding.

For sale on behalf of his owner

Doug (Douglas) is one in a million who has so much class, quality and experience to offer. He is a very well-bred kwpn by (Vegas), out of (Tallenger) (Furore x Hinault) with 5 generations of pedigree recorded. He is the perfect stamp of a horse, combining class and quality but still having a leg in each corner and a nice neck in front of you. He is a very desirable type who would suit a wide audience of riders from teenagers coming off ponies to adults and even the older rider would feel very safe on him. He has good conformation, clean limbs, is blemish free and straight movement. He is the full package to excel across all riding disciplines which makes him the perfect alrounder/ school master. He is a very solid confidence giver without being a plod. He also has experience in every discipline and really knows his job and loves to work so is a proven and will show his new rider the ropes. He has the most amazing temperament and attitude making him a yard favourite.

Doug schools nicely on the flat, he has a lovely relaxed way of going with super movement and elasticity. He has three very good paces; his walk is relaxed with a good over track and good swing through the shoulder and scores at least an 8 in dressage. His trot is athletic and smart with lots of natural cadence and his canter is uphill and very adjustable. He naturally has a high head carriage which makes slightly more novice riders feel safe as they have something in front of them but he works into a lovely outline if you ask him to. He is ridden in a snaffle for every discipline with a lovely mouth. He is a nice easy ride who is nicely forward going being a medium speed and responsive to the riders aids but not at all sharp. He is a very safe and sane ride who does give his rider confidence. He would be ideal for a competent novice upwards. He has been ridden by a range of different riders including a 15 year old girl and an older gentleman and he is very adaptable. He is schooling novice/elementary level at home and does a lovely walk to canter and leg yield. He has completed dressage tests as part of his eventing record but hasn’t done pure dressage as yet. He would very happily go out and do some preliminary and novice tests and hold his riders hand. We are not looking for a pure dressage home for Doug as he does prefer his jumping and hacking so would enjoy some dressage and schooling as part of a varied lifestyle.

Doug loves his jumping, he is a real point and aim jumping machine. He makes a nice scopey shape and is careful. He is nicely forward going into a fence and is very honest and genuine to jump, he never says no and never stops. He will help his rider out and still go on a miss, he really knows his job and wants to jump. He is very bold and jumps all fillers and water trays first attempt confidently. He will go on a short or long stride and help his rider out and fill his rider with confidence. He is very ridable around a course of fences and nicely balanced around tight turns and does flying changes where necessary. He has lots of experience to teach his rider the ropes whether they are stepping up from ponies, have had a long break from riding or learning to jump, hes a very genuine and honest boy. He has competed at BS up to 115cm in the past. He has plenty of scope to still jump that height. He would be a lot of fun at riding club level and unaffiliated sj and would be very much in the ribbons. He is currently giving my teenage friend a lot of fun and taking her from jumping 80cm on her welsh pony to 110cm courses.

Doug is equally as bold over xc jumps he absolutely loves it! He has plenty of pace to make the time at events. He jumps everything asked of him including ditches and water complexes. He is a very talented boy who has had a super foundation put in place with lots of experience to really know his job and take his rider round. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently. He really gives his rider confidence as he is very genuine and loves his jumping and doesn’t get strong or silly. He is very neat and quick through the air with scope to jump the higher more technical fences, has previously evented up to BE intermediate with a cracking xc record. He would be very ideal to give a rider experience around BE90/100 now. He has had a few quieter years as just a hack since his eventing days so would be more like a 14 year old in that respect.

Doug is lovely to hack both alone and in company. He is excellent in traffic and very confident in his own skin. He has been used to give less experienced horses a lead out hacking as he is as rock solid on the roads as they come. He is very sensible in open spaces and not at all sharp. He will go out for miles on his own and give his rider so much fun! He will also go out in a group where he is very mannerly but does prefer to be near the front. He has been a brilliant happy hacker/ fun horse for a mature gentleman. He would be very well suited to someone wanting to combine pleasure rides with riding club. He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays as he is very well behaved to ride at new places and just has so much fun to offer someone. He would definitely make someone a real quality safe Rolls Royce leisure/pleasure horse. It’s really difficult to find a horse as talented as Doug who also excels as a pleasure horse and makes his rider feel very safe! He would excel as a mother/daughter share in that respect.

Doug has a great temperament. He puts a smile on your face every day. He loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend. He is always good to catch and lead in. He loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. He is very easy to handle in all ways. He lives in and out and is happy be turned out next to or in with other horses. He is great to shoe, wash and clip. He loads perfectly and travels like a dream. He’s great to take out and rides the same in new places as he does at home. He really is such a genuine honest gent who deserves the best of homes.

This is a very sad sale of my clients horse. His owner is now 70 and has reached the end of his riding days due to having a bad back but wants the best for Doug and wants him to continue to still have a job as he loves his work. He is the ultimate alrounder that everyone is looking for. He can turn her hoof to any job and is very versatile. He would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies. He would also suit an adult wanting to go out and have fun together. He would also still be a fabulous event horse at the lower levels as he has so much experience to offer someone. He would also suit a happy hacking/ pleasure ride home as he loves his hacking too. More photos and videos available via WhatsApp.

Based in Ramsey Peterborough.

Please send me a message on WhatsApp or call Katherine on 07460820294. Doug would have been a £25k horse a few years ago in his prime and is now priced at £12,000 to reflect that he is 17 this year but he isn’t showing any signs of slowing down and has the been there done that experience that younger horses don’t have.

Oakie is a super attractive model of a horse.

He has 3 superb paces. Scoring well in the dressage including a 27 at his first event. Started lateral work and changes. Lovely to ride on the flat, soft, light and very well balanced. 

Super jump, very easy to ride to a fence being very polite and adjustable. Brave and bold xc. Fantastic attitude towards his work, always wanting to give 100% and please the rider. 

Has been to training shows, show jumped BS on a ticket up to Discovery. Has completed 2 Cotswold Cup events, where his attitude was fantastic. He was double clear and 6th in his first 90. More than ready to step up and crack on this season. 

Been produced slowly and carefully with a big future in mind. Seriously classy, eye catching gelding looking for someone to continue his education and will go far in the right hands. A competent, knowledgeable home is a must to bring out this special horses full potential. Recent full set of X-rays.  

Excellent trial facilities, J20 M5.
