Lily 💚 3-year-old dressage mare

Approx. 15.3hh, expected to mature around 16–16.1hh

A beautiful young mare with naturally expressive movement, a kind temperament and an exceptionally trainable attitude.

Professionally backed and hacked for the past two months, Lily has recently started her schooling and has taken everything in her stride. She is straightforward to handle, enjoys her work, and has all the qualities to make producing a young horse an enjoyable experience.

With plenty of power from behind, three expressive paces and a willing outlook, she is an exciting prospect for an ambitious rider wanting to develop a quality dressage horse through the levels.

Outstanding breeding:

* By Greenlanes Jester (Negro × Florencio)

* Out of an Advanced Medium Show Star × DiMaggio mare

* From a proven State Premium dam line, with relatives including Hawtins Lirica, National 4- and 5-Year-Old Champion and HOYS competitor.

A genuine young mare combining quality, temperament and pedigree—ready for someone to put their own stamp on and fulfil her considerable potential.

An excellent opportunity to secure a quality young horse before further training and an increase in value.

Bonnie is a very sweet mare who came into Blue Cross care in July 2026 from a private home, due to a change in her owners circumstances. Bonnie is of a rare Hungarian breed - a Nonius. Bonnie is now looking for a kind companion home where she can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with other horses.

Bonnie is happy living out 24/7 in a mixed herd and can also part stable, provided she has equine company. She is generally good to handle in all ways and enjoys being around people and having cuddles, although she would benefit from continued basic training to improve her responsiveness when leading. With her gentle nature, easy-going attitude and love of companionship, Bonnie would make a wonderful friend to another horse and a lovely addition to a caring home.

Wilma is looking for a companion home with someone who will continue to build her trust and help her develop at her own pace. She is good to lead, enjoys being groomed and is happy to have her feet picked up. We are currently working on improving her catching and helping her become more confident in new situations.

Wilma lives out 24/7 and happily shares her space in a mixed herd. She can also part stable, provided she has equine company nearby. As she is a good doer, she does require some grazing restriction to maintain a healthy weight. Wilma would make a rewarding project companion for someone who enjoys forming a close bond with their horse and supporting them as they continue to flourish.

Olly is generally easy to handle including being good to catch lead and groom. He does require some extra training with his leg handling so does require an experienced handler.

Olly is currently turned out at night and stabled during the day on soaked hay for weight management, so will need a home where he can continue to be on restricted grazing.
