  • 5* private home with excellent facilities
  • BD, beach riding, varied lifestyle
  • Must love cuddles!
After early retirement due to permanent soundness issues, I am now looking for my next, super friendly, 15hh - 16.2hh forever horse.

Predominantly wanted for affiliated dressage and in particular, my final years of BD Youth Teams. I also love giving my horses a huge variation of hacking, beach rides, fun rides, occasional jumping etc.

Something that has a little bit of natural presence on the flat would be ideal but not necessarily another warmblood.

Would suit anything from an event horse looking to step away from jumping to a backed and riding away in all 3 paces youngster. Absolutely nothing in full work at the age of 3 though please.

- At my private family home is my retired 13.2hh and my 15.1hh, so they must be able to live in a quiet 24/7, mixed turn out herd (with freedom to come and go as they please).

- Must travel in a trailer.

- Things like an occasional cribbing, small sarcoids etc are also fine, but absolutely nothing with any soundness history.

- I am not in a position to gamble on something 'sold from the field'. I need to see it working under saddle and sit on it.

After all the time and effort I put into my mare, I'm not left with a huge budget for my next forever horse, unfortunately 10k is my absolute maximum.
