Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home


Ref #: 403610
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

  • Around 15.2hh to 16.2hh

We are looking for a 15.2hh to 16.2hh (give or take slightly) that is genuine to a fence. Our tall teenage daughter has jumped up to junior newcomers and is a calm, capable rider. She is ready to move onto horses and jump round seniors now. She has regular training with great coaches and comes from an experienced horsey family.

We can offer a long term, loving home. We keep our horses at home and they want for nothing. We can cater for most needs.
We ideally want something that is at least happy to hack out in company as we have lovely quiet hacking.

Horse must travel well in a trailer. Would consider sale, lease or loan. Decent budget.
Slight quirks/ailments considered but must be disclosed. Happy to wait for however long if you’re not quite ready to move your lovely horse on yet.

We are in the south west but will travel within reason.

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder


Ref #: 404421
  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
  • 14.2 - 15.2hh max. Age - 6 - 13 years
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar

I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

  • 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

  • Forward and fast - exciting to ride
  • Bold and brave - will jump anything pointed at
  • Safe to hack alone and in open spaces

I'm looking for a horse to join our family as my teenage daughter's second ride. She already has a fancy showjumper with all the bloodlines but with that comes a tricky ride and it's not always fun. We're looking for a confidence-restoring second ride to bring that fun back and in return, the horse will enjoy a kind, quiet and balanced rider, be loved endlessly, have a varied and exciting life, wanting for nothing. Stabled on a professional event yard but living a varied PC / BS / NSEA / camps / fun rides lifestyle and genuinely be part of the family for life - we've never sold a horse, they're all still with us.

MUST BE MID FOUR FIGURES and ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

16.2+
Any age or sex, happy with golden oldies who love their job and aren't ready to hang up their boots
Must hack alone and be safe in open spaces
Must love to jump - strictly no stoppers as we have had our fair share of those
Bold & brave - nothing looky - must lock on and jump everything, SJ & XC
Forgiving of a miss in the arena when the nerves kick in
Careful and fast against the clock - don't mind strong so long as they come back to you eventually and aren't unsafe
Dressage a bonus but bottom of the list
Nothing that will spin / buck / rear dangerously
Loads and travels well in a 3.5t
Not worried about quirks / vices so long as disclosed
Any vet history / injections please just disclose so we don't have to discover things the hard way down the line and can ensure the horse is always comfortable
Ideally South West but will travel for the right horse
Thank you in advance - loving forever home awaits!
Happy to loan with plenty of updates

Ref #: 404049
  • Loving, long term family home
  • Varied and sensible workload
  • Would want for nothing!
  • Loving, long term family home
  • Varied and sensible workload
  • Would want for nothing!

We have a tall 13yo, she is a quiet, natural jockey whose main interest is dressage, she enjoys jumping but isn’t super competitive. Having outgrown her fabulous 13.3/14hh Welsh x Cob who turns her hoof to a bit of everything, we are looking for a similar type with longer legs! Think overgrown pony rather than a horse, temperament, consistency and kindness are paramount. Must be well schooled with good transitions but we don’t need big/expressive movement. We’d like something that is happy jumping 70/80 tracks, has done plenty of rallies, been to camp, hacks nicely etc. Must be easy and straightforward on the ground, to travel etc.

We really aren’t stuck on a Connie and would happily consider a sensible Section D, LW cob or Irish type. We are offering a fabulous family home, the stables are next to the house and the children are very involved in the day to day care of their ponies. Life will be varied, they really will want for nothing. We recognise we are looking for a needle in a haystack and have the budget to reflect that. West Midlands based but can travel within reason. We will ask for references and veterinary history, we are pragmatic and sensible but want to make a decision based on all the facts!

  • Wanted 13:3 - 15:1 hh Safe and sane happy hacker
  • Experienced long term loving home awaits right horse
  • Gelding preferred but non marish mare considered

Due to the loss of my wonderful Connemara in January I’m searching for my new best friend.

I primarily hack but would like the opportunity to do beach rides and holidays away with my friend and her horse.

I’m not adverse to a veteran or a horse/pony with health issues as long as fully disclosed. Something that’s been there and done it but now needs a quieter life would be ideal.

Must be good in all traffic and travel in a trailer.

I’ve owned and ridden horses all my life but I’m now in my sixties and no longer brave so no bucking, rearing, bolting or napping, no project horses and no dealers.

In return I can offer a long term experienced home on my  own land at my home with other horses, all year turnout with field shelter and stabling as required 

References available.

Realistic budget for the right horse.
