Maggie is the ultimate amateurs horse. straightforward, quick against the clock and genuine in every way.

Maggie has low mileage for her age starting her BS career as a 9 year old, ridden by the same amateur girl since the girl was 15. Taking her from 85cm to 1.20. Maggie will happily take a miss and do her very best to get you out of trouble.

She is nicely forward off the leg, always in a snaffle without a need flash or martingale. With that said, there is nothing Maggie loves more than a jump off! She is super bold and likes to put the gas on.

She is smart and responsive enough to tackle arena eventing style questions in just a neck rope, and yet also safe enough to look after young ones around an assisted clear round. She is FUN and SAFE.

Maggie truly LOVES her work. She can work in the arena every day and never goes sour - a type hard to find! She lights up when she gets a challenge, so we think that she would really excel in a dressage home. Whilst she does enjoy her arena work, we do lots of hacking and she is happy with the variety.

Maggie’s ideal home would be somewhere with a quiet yard, good routine and lots of work. She would suit a competent, soft rider who has an equal enthusiasm for winning.

She is only for sale due to being outgrown.

She is based in England. This is a truly heartbreaking, private sale - Maggie will only go to a 10* home and we will encourage multiple viewings.

Tack and wardrobe is available upon negotiation.

This mare unfortunately had a career ending DDFT injury in March.

Out of an OBOS mare she has all the looks and was showing great ability in all three disciplines. Has a BS and BD record.

She is the bravest, easiest mare to look after and has the most trainable temperament and sensible brain.

She is the most loving and caring mare and has been field companion to my three year old since her injury.

The yard favourite not only with humans but with all the other horses, barn cat and the dogs.

Robin is the most beautiful little horse with the kindest nature.

She is extremely easy to do in every way. Good for the farrier, to clip, to travel etc. An absolute pleasure to own. She will happily take herself to the field and bring herself in each day.

She has 3 lovely paces and is currently hacking alone and in company.

She has been to arena hires both indoors and outdoors and has hacked round somerford park farm ride, going up and down the steps, through the little stream and popping a few little logs on the grass.

Up to date with teeth, back, vaccinations etc.

  • A real leg in each corner, sturdy, takes up the leg kind of mare

16.1 6yr old tb mare, unraced. She has had a slow start in life, coming to us unbacked last year.

This seems to have set her up with a calm, level headed outlook on life as she has taken everything in her stride as we have produced her slowly this year.

She has a quiet, sweet temperament, lovely manners on the ground and is a brilliant steady hack in front or behind. Will ride and lead out or be led. She’s completely unfazed in the heaviest of traffic and has been to the New Forest and is good with the ponies, cows etc.

In the school she has 3 balanced paces and a confident, steady jump.

She has recently been out to a few competitions; showjumping, arena xc and one day event where she has behaved impeccably.

She is still a little green away from home and sometimes needs the riders help if she looses concentration in the ring, but she has a great attitude and proved to be very bold out on the xc course.

We have no doubt this will only improve with every outing as her confidence grows.

This horse would be a great confidence giver for someone looking for a safe hack / low level competition horse, or would be a great opportunity for someone able to continue her development up through the levels.

Serious enquiries only for this special mare.

Millie

Approx 14.3/15H, 6 years old, old fashioned solid type.

Millie is a delight to have around the yard and is a laid back easy going girlie, that loves fuss and attention, will stand for hours to have a good pamper session, she’s polite and mannerly on the ground and a pleasure to handle on a daily basis.

She’s a bold and brave type naturally, hacks alone and in company including big groups and will go first or last, is a super happy girl whilst out and about exploring. She isn’t the spooky or silly type at all and will always keep you safe. Rock solid with all types of traffic and doesn’t “heat” up in big groups cantering etc, she is happy to stay in walk or trot if the horses you are with canter off ahead.

She has 3 nice paces in the school and is responsive off the leg without being speedy or sharp. Loves doing pole work and pops around a course of jumps. She’s happy to be picked up or put down where the riding is concerned and is no different if ridden everyday or left off for a few weeks.

Millie will suit a variety of riders including the less confident or less experienced, or equally someone that wants to go out and have fun without ever worrying if their horse is going to “cope” with the atmosphere or get excitable because there’s lots of other horses, or be too spooky or silly because life has taken over and they haven’t had chance to ride much, as this just isn’t Millie, she’s the same whether she is at home or away, in a big group or alone, ridden every day or ridden once a week.

No vices, loads and travels well.

Much loved mare - 16.2 10yr old mare with super breeding

Stella is sadly looking for a new career as her heart isn’t in the showjumping at the level I want to do anymore, she is super talented and has all the jump in the world but recently been rather inconsistent at the bigger heights.

She is a wonderful hack goes in front or behind fantastic in the heaviest of traffic (we cross the A217) good in open spaces and been on the beach etc, can go for hours exploring on her and she loves it

3 quality paces on the flat, with basic lateral work clean changes and simple changes, responsive ride and enjoys her work but isn’t sharp, works in a nice outline and could produce a lovely test just something I’ve never done with her. Been ridden on flat by novices and behaved perfectly

She does love her jumping and wouldn’t be opposed to her doing low level stuff/riding club, she is super careful and quick in a jump off, up to 1m she is unbeatable! Also taken novices over their first fence, sadly when bigger will stop if you miss her

Easy to do on the ground, but does have windgalls and capped hocks hence price,

Hugo is a wonderful allrounder, been there and done it all. He absolutely loves his jumping, especially cross country!

We have done everything from beach rides, hunting, open team chasing, eventing, polo, bareback and hunt racing.

Hugo loves his job, he is brave and honest, he is very forward going and would love to continue having fun jumping, hacking or hunting. Not suitable for a novice.

Absolute horse of a lifetime, heartbreaking sale, home is very important and will be vetted.

Hugo is fit, sound and out competing, ready to achieve great things with his new jockey.

  • 7 years

Fella is a 15.1h 7yo Connemara X grey gelding. He has been in the same home since a 2yo. Fella is a lovely mover, and really enjoys his jumping.

He has been to many arena hires, arena eventing, showjumping competitions jumping double clears at 90cm, he isn’t phased by any type of filler and is incredibly genuine to a fence.

He’s been cross country schooling and is bold and brave and will jump anything he’s pointed at. Fella is currently being ridden by a 14yo girl, and he is snaffle mouthed in all disciplines.

He hacks alone and in company, can lead other horses off him, the traffic he has seen with us he has been solid as a rock with, he’s sensible across big open fields and never gets silly or hot.

Absolutely brilliant to do anything with, shoe, catch, box, travel etc and he is a kind and gentle lad with a lovely temperament. We believe Fella would be a cracking pony club pony, someone could literally take him to camp next week and he’d do everything perfectly.

He would be suitable for many jobs, hunting/riding club/eventing/tetrathon etc.

He’d make a great competent mother and daughter share.

He’s got a lot going for him and would make someone or family very happy with years of fun.

Fella is on sales livery, and we do not sell to novice/nervous/inexperienced buyers.

He is open to vettings.

Based in old sodbury

She’s got lots of talent, beauty and has the kindest nature. She is great on the flat and would make a very good dressage horse. At present she is mainly used for jumping (90/1m) with a teenager and for Pony Club/NSEA events.

She’s recently competed at Hickstead (with the NSEA), Stoneleigh with the BS Academy and Blenheim with the Pony Club. She’s very easy to handle at competitions and will stand all day in the trailer eating her hay! She also attended Pony Club Camp last summer and won the Chase Me Charlie at 1m30 

She is very easy on the ground, loves to be fussed and groomed.

She loves hacking in company and has done the odd bit of cross country. She just needs a bit more schooling. She would suit any rider wanting a well-behaved competitive horse for any discipline.

She is very easy to load, great at competitions, easy to shoe/clip etc. Up to date with vaccinations/teeth etc.

Wind sucks occasionally at feed time. She has mild arthritis in her hocks and has been medicated. X-rays have been taken, and a vet has just assessed her, and she’s fit and ready to go!

We have lots of videos and photos so please message me and I will happily send them to you.

Mouse, aka "Moustaffa" is a kind and gentle heavy weight cob. 13yrs old 16.2 hh weight carrier.

Mouse has a strong natural horsemanship background and has worked on the ground in our equine assisted therapy programme. For a big girl she is very respectful, and, once you are her "people" she will shine.

She is nicely forward going. Hacks out alone or in company and is good in rural traffic. Good to clip, wash etc. Good for dentist, farrier to trim - but has only ever been barefoot.

Rides western or english. Bitted or bitless.

She can occasionally show some mild stringhalt when coming out cold but no lameness issues

She turns out alone or in herd with mares and geldings and is not a dominant mare.

A very reluctant sale, but she needs a more homely home, with a mum (or two) to give her the confidence and consistency she deserves. We have too many people handling her for her to build that special attachment she is looking for.

A really genuine, super mare who loves gentle attention, grooming and pampering.

Bess has 3 light and balanced paces, she's well schooled and has started her lateral work. She'd suit somebody who wants to work up the levels, as she's so rideable and manoeuvrable. She has jumped around a course up to 1m in height, and has jumped higher with me at home. She loves her cross country and is brave and safe. She's safe and sensible to a fence so would equally suit a more nervous rider who would like to build confidence. She's been used in cross country lessons by novices and has carried them around safely. She's very straight forward in every aspect of ridden work.

She's been kept in a college where she's been used for riding lessons varying from total beginners to advanced. She's been used in BHS stage 1 to stage 3 exams and has recently participated in the Stage 4 coach. She's competed in unaffiliated Dressage, BD and some unaffiliated SJ. She will be going to ODE in August to add to her CV.

Has done:


Beach rides
Fun rides
Hunted
Hacks alone and in company
Unfazed by large crowds
Unaffiliated Dressage and SJ, and BD
Good in traffic
Good to Load, Catch, Handle, clip etc
Good for the farrier, Dentist, Saddler etc

In short, she's the perfect all rounder. She'd be the perfect ladies horse as she's so easy to do everything with. She'd also be the perfect family horse, so would be a good mother/ daughter/ grandmother share. She loves being fussed and just absolutely loves people. She's an incredibly versatile mare, so would easily turn to whatever would be needed from her, but would be best doing a little of everything as she enjoys the variety. She has absolutely zero mareish traits, and has got such a wonderful personality. She's honest, genuine, willing and all the best attributes you could ask from a horse.

She comes with all of her tack, recently fitted. She's got a full wardrobe with her too.

She will only go to the best home. This is an incredibly hard sale as she's become part of the family, so please no time wasters.

Home is more important than price, so price is negotiable.

Please get in touch if more information is required.
