• Small tour dressage rider looking for loan all-round schoolmaster SJ (max 1m), hack and school
• 15.3 - 16.2hh, gelding or mare 8yrs +
• Beautiful home yard where they are treated as part of the family
• Temperament and trainable brain as important as anything else
• Open minded on age relative to experience
• Must be sane and safe to handle and hack

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.

• 15.2hh to 16.3hh

• Allrounder type

Looking for a horse to have a long term loan home with, to keep at our family home in the South East.

Looking for the impossible genuine horse that can go - SJ, hunting (bonus), pc|rc and eventing after sadly losing my thoroughbred.

Ideally 15.2hh - 16.2hh, gelding or mare, not fussed on breeding, don’t mind bit of quirk long as they are manageable.

Must be able to hack alone and travel well in a trailer and must be nice to handle on the ground.

Would consider an older eventer that is ready for lower level (90cm)

Loving long term home awaits and lots of opportunities for your horse to get out competing and have fun.

Willing to travel for the right one.

References available upon request.

• Height between 150-154cm
• Aged 6-10 years
• Must be proven at 125-130

Wanted small horse for a petite lady.

Loving, long term & experienced home where horses are part of our family.

• Experienced rider
• Ability to have horse at work
• Quiet and compassionate

Looking for a loan over the summer months, or to potentially have a young horse to gain some experience.

I am currently in between horses as hopefully setting up my own yard, but it’s taking a bit longer than expected. I have the ability to have a horse on loan/training with me up until October time this year, to do a bit of schooling and some eventing/show jumping competitions if appropriate. Would suit someone who’s going travelling for summer/having a baby/ out of action due to injury, or just wanting someone to give their horse a bit of experience.

I have many years of experience, having produced a handful of my own young horses. I have experience with off the track thoroughbreds, as well as Irish types. I have competed up to 90cm eventing, 1m show jumping. I will have the support from my coach, who I would continue having on and off property lessons with, as well as clinics etc.

Ideally the right horse will be a nice person, easy to deal with on the ground and to take out and about (as I do mostly everything on my own), be good to hack out alone and in company, good to shoe/bathe/clip.

Happy to deal with the odd buck etc, but nothing nasty. Also happy to deal with some medical history, as long as disclosed. Horse will have 24/7 turn out on my working farm, with a few horses fielded around them.

Please WhatsApp me any further questions you might have, if you think I might be a good fit! (I am 5’7 and weigh 60kg for size reference).

Would also consider a part loan in Bognor/Chichester/Arundel area

• Experienced rider, happy to bring a younger inexperienced horse on
• 5* home based in north somerset
• Looking for something I can take out to go riding club activities, fun rides and local shows

I am looking for a 16.2hh ID x or similar type horse. Looking to do riding club activities, hacking out, fun rides and local shows (working hunter/showjumping).

5* experienced home waiting, happy to provide references if needed.

Budget up to £10k for the right horse.

Please feel free to message me with details, I do work during the day so can’t always answer my phone so messages are the best way to get hold of me.

• Private yard with companion(s)
• Excellent year round turnout and stabling
• Lovely hacking on quiet lanes and bridleways

I am returning to horses later in life. Small, lightweight lady seeking a kind horse to take me hacking, go on local leisure rides and other new adventures. 14.1-15.3hh.

Prefer a gelding although non marish mares considered who don’t need restricted grazing and can live in our out (although I like to maximise turnout if conditions allow).

Needs to be great in traffic-although quiet lanes, we do have large tractors and noisy motorbikes.

Looking for a horse that walks out confidently on their own or in company and does not get strong or silly when in company or open spaces as I probably don’t bounce like I used to! Would like to pop the odd log and maybe go to the beach or leisure rides.

Good in the school would be nice if I wanted to do a bit of schooling/jumping, but not essential.

And of course, good to worm, shoes, catch, groom, tie up, dentist etc.

History mut be known. If you have outgrown your own heart horse and want to be confident of a loving home and low level activities, then please get in touch. I am on the edge of the Peak District.

Looking for a full up 14.2hh PC/WHP/allrounder for my 13 year old daughter .

• 10 years +
• Ideally 15.3-16.3hh
• Beautiful yard in the South Downs

I'm a woman in her 40s looking for an older gentleman to be a happy hacker friend ideally 15.3 -16.3hh, 10 years +.

I live in a beautiful part of the South Downs and have decided after loaning for years to buy my own horse. I'm after an older, stocky boy with a gentle temperament and a bit of character who will enjoy the quieter life and enjoy hacking for miles on end.

I am a confident, relaxed rider having lived in the States for years and ridden western, who just loves the great outdoors. I'm happy to do low level schooling but I'm not interested in competition horses or jumping as I think they may be a bit bored. I'm after someone I can have a special bond with, who likes to be pampered and is safe to hack out alone and in company. Must be happy to be in a mixed field.

I'm not in a rush, this has to be the right fit for all but will travel for the right horse and would consider loan with a view to buy.
