Here are a few of the very special horses and ponies who we have been lucky enough to have found long term, loving homes for.
Misty
Misty is an approximately 15.3, 3 year old TB mare. She has come to us directly from her breeder, and we haven't done any work with her yet. She was backed as a two year old and turned away over winter. She didn't come back into racing because she has slightly imperfect movement in front and her breeder didn't want her put at risk.
That said, she is 100% sound even though she's currently barefoot. She has a nice nature and is pretty easy on the ground, especially considering her age. She loaded easily to get here, and stands well to be groomed.
£1500
Jysar
Jysar is a stunning example of a Norwegian Fjord. He is 10 years old and a stocky 13.3, well able to take up the leg of an adult, but safe enough for someone younger.
Jysar was originally backed by us, and has been in a hacking home for the last 4 years. He has been doing a little bit in the arena since coming back to us to sell, and will pop a small fence, but the hacking is his obvious strong point, and anyone wanting him for another job would have to put some effort in.
To hack he's as safe as houses, and good fun. Will hack alone, but exceptional in company! Will go first or last, and not scared of anything. Stands like a rock to be mounted.
Not a great fan of the stable, so would love a home where he doesn't spend much time in, but will stand to be tacked up etc.
Does need weight management, so someone with a track system would be ideal, or some experience with fat ponies!
£6500
Ralph
Ralph is a 15.2, CHAPS registered, 12 year old gelding. He is anyone's ride, genuine to a fault, and honest about trying his best in every situation.
Ralph has mainly hacked throughout his life and is absolutely golden at this job. He will go alone or in company, in front or behind, lead the way over tough terrain, and not get excited if horses canter away from him. I would trust him in any situation and he'd be brilliant for endurance or fun rides. He was impeccable on his first fun ride with us.
Although less experienced in the school, he is learning very quickly and already has strong walk and trot work. His canter is lovely and balanced also.
Likewise, he hasn't jumped much, but has a brilliant attitude and is straight and brave.
He is the sort of horse who once is more established on the flat would be about £15k, so get yourself a bargain now.
Ralph is also a saint on the ground, will go out with any other horses and ponies, happy to be in or out. He's barefoot and easy to manage in every way.
£9500 ono
Prinnie
Prinnie is a 15 hand, 18 year old TB.
Prinnie is looking for a home where she gets to still be active and enjoy herself. Ideal would be a slightly older rider, looking to still have some fun, but ultimately stay safe. She would also suit a less-competitive teenager, or competent child. Prinnie is your absolute perfect pony club horse. She has been there and got the t-shirt, jumps whatever you point her at, has decent flatwork, has been well-hunted. However, we want her to now have a gentler life.
A happy hacking home, with the occasional flatwork lesson, fun ride or endurance ride would be absolutely ideal.
She is also a saint on the ground in every way. Gets on with other horses, good to catch, load, shoe etc etc. Due to her age if jumping bigger than 60cm she’d probably want her hocks injected, but she’s happy as she is for now and has years left to give!
This pony deserves her last home and a place where she will be worshipped as she deserves.
£3000, would consider lwvtb to the right home.
Ellie
Mocklershill April Pride (Ellie)
Ellie has been there and got the t-shirt, and is now looking for a new home where she can show someone the ropes and take them up the levels. She would still be more than happy to compete up to about 1m, but has earned a gentler life. She has an FEI passport, and placings at 1.15 internationally.
She is a genius to jump, balances and strides herself and knows exactly what she's doing. We think she could easily event as never gets strong and is so bold, just jumps without thinking about it.
Hacks alone or in company, always forward going but snaffle-mouthed. Can be spooky, but not actually worried, and absolutely will not buck, rear, or any other unfortunate manoeuvre.
Good on the flat but has mainly jumped, so this would need a little more work to get the high scores above prelim level. Works well enough to do a dressage test straight away though, and has the most incredible canter.
Great on the ground, absolutely no vices and nothing not to like. Only for sale due to house move and giving up horses.
Has done RH suspensory, it has been scanned and is completely mended. She is totally sound and happy jumping and on the flat. Has also had hocks medicated, but no reason to suspect she would definitely need these doing to keep her going. This is why she is cheap, but she is worth every penny and more with her jump and attitude to all aspects of life.
We will continue to add up to date pictures, and if you google her name there are plenty of pictures of her jumping.
£7000
Attain
Attain (Dansili x Achieve) is a 2009, approx 16.1 gelding.
Attain is a complete star, and is as fun as they come! We honestly can't find the words to describe a horse who puts a smile on your face at every opportunity!
He's great to hack alone or in company, can be occasionally excitable when on limited turnout, but there is no malice in him and he is always snaffle-mouthed.
He moves brilliantly and has competed up to medium level with consistent high 60 percentages. His movements include leg yield, shoulder in, half pass, counter canter and flying changes. His medium and collected paces are absolutely stunning, and he's produced some beautiful extension. He works on a contact in all three paces with a natural outline and consistent carriage.
Evented at 80 level and we are so excited to get him out again this year.
He would be happy to be barefoot or shod and has beautifully shaped feet, was barefoot the first year we had him and then shod so that he could have studs. He is an absolute gem to have around the yard, and is easy to do in all ways. He does crib, but not badly, and he maintains his weight. It is also easily prevented with electric tape. This is reflected in his price.
Loads beautifully, stands quietly on the box, and tied next to it, great to clip and groom (but he will try to distract you into cuddling him), stands like a saint for the farrier, dentist and chiropractor (all up to date). Has been ridden by teenagers and would suit someone wanting to have fun and enjoy al disciplines. Will hack past anything and is good in traffic, though he can get a little fidgety if they go past too slowly as he's sure he has right of way! Doesn't look at road signs, nor worry about dogs.
We sold Attain early last year to a brilliant home, but they had a change of circumstances and had to sell up both of their horses, so we have Attain back to find him another lovely home, hopefully forever because he's one of our favourite horses ever!
£4000
Cardi
Cardi is an approx. 13hh, 14 year old, Welsh Section C Gelding
He is green passported and true to type, so would do well in the show ring, especially as he's very nearly a veteran.
He's really loving and great on the ground, so kids will feel confident handling him.
We feel he would be best suited to a family environment, with potentially a lead-rein job as well as someone a bit older to show him a good time.
Due to his age, and hocks and SI having been medicated, we feel he would love a home where he does plenty of everything, but not necessarily a super competitive home.
He works in a good contact, he does pull his head down slightly in his canter transition, but he has never bucked, reared, bolted or any other tricky behaviour. He's a little gem, and generally the kind of pony you can trust with the children.
He hacks beautifully in company, is a little more worried alone. He really does enjoy this, and we can see him having great fun teaching kids about hacking fun.
£2500 ono
Lucy
Lucy (Willabelle - Wanninger x Old Edition) is a 10 year old, bay 16.2hh, Hanoverian mare.
Lucy is absolutely stunning to look at and a delight to ride! Competing at Elementary level on the flat (placed 5th in her first compet; her strengths include demi-pirouhette in trot (full in walk), fantastic leg yield/half pass, traverse, renverse, shoulder in, counter canter and decent collection in all paces.
Lucy has popped fences with ease and will be one to watch on the dressage, SJ or event circuit. She is jumping 1m tracks at home and out training, and went to a higher level cross country, jumping ditches, steps, corners and into water without batting an eyelid!
We are hoping to event Lucy this year, so we aren't in any rush to sell her and she will only be going to a perfect home. For Lucy, because of how talented and 'extra' she is, we are looking for a very competitive, performance home, where she will be challenged both on the flat and jumping. An eventing home with someone who wants to take her up the levels would be ideal.
Lucy hacks alone and in company but we would rather she went to a home where she would predominantly be kept and ridden in company. Lucy prefers to be in work and can be hot to ride if on limited turnout, but is quick to settle.
This is an extremely special horse, and she's our pride and joy, but she is a hot horse so needs a competent rider. When you have her, she will do anything for you, and she was just the most amazing, fun horse to take cross country schooling and to fun rides, as well as to jump at home. Lucy likes being in full and heavy work and can be quirky, especially after a break, or if she has been kept in too much.
Lucy is lovely on the ground, so cuddly and friendly, easy to clip, shoe and catch. Turns out with mares and geldings of all shapes and sizes. Luce gets fat from fresh air so we have her on a constant diet and turned out all year round. We never have her in anything thicker than a medium weight. Originally, she had been bad to load, this is no longer an issue (we have footage of her loading herself) but may regress slightly in a new home so worth mentioning. We just fed her on the box and she loved it! Luce thrives in a herd but has been in smaller groups, we don't want to sell her to somewhere she will have individual turnout.
With her incredible breeding and conformation, she would make an incredible broodmare. She takes all of the little ones under her wing and is the kindest horse in the field. Luce cut her leg in November 20, and because of the weather and mud, she had over a month on box rest to keep it clean. She was a delight the entire time and stood like a saint for the vet to flush and bandage. This has left a small mark on the inside of her right fore, but she wasn't even lame on it at the time, and has never been since.
More pictures and videos available, please follow the links to our Facebook and YouTube.
Price reduced in line with the fact that she will very occasionally rear (she has done this 4 times with us, in a year and a half and only in extenuating circumstances). Please only competent and knowledgeable homes, she is a warmblood with stunning breeding and we are ideally hoping for a competitive home for her.
Cougar Kid (CK)
Cougar Kid is an approximately 16hh 10 year old gelding.
Cougar came off the track sound in November of 2020. He was turned away to enjoy some down time before coming back into work to train for his new career as a riding horse.
While he is building up strength, he is enjoying lots of hacking and is schooling lightly in walk and trot. We have had multiple people take him for hacks, including novices, and he has been a little sweetheart. Very unspooky to hack, and nothing has really phased him so far, although he does get a little confused about traffic. He's never been silly, but it's as though he expects them to go off road and stop for him, rather than the other way around!
His schooling is coming along really nicely and he's developing a lovely self carriage, which he naturally takes out hacking. We're currently working him long and low as much as possible and encouraging to stretch down over his back on his hacks.
He's still green in the school, and is only having one or two gentle sessions a week, but he just needs someone who will give him time and patience to strengthen up and work his body in the correct way after over 6 months off.
Exchaser, so has a super jump, but has also worked over coloured poles and jumps.
He's up to date with feet, teeth, vaccinations and has had two chiropractic treatments since coming into work.
Great to load and box, always easy to catch, lives in or out with mares or geldings (though he is inclined to get picked on so has to have a nice herd). He has a very low pain threshold, so he can be a bit of a baby about flies etc!
We have very much fallen in love with this horse, and he will make someone a brilliant prospect to do any job. We can certainly see him eventing in the future.
Pirate
Pirate is an approximately 17hh 6 year old IDx gelding.
We were told Pirate has hunted, he is great to hack in company and alone. He’s such a sweet boy, and is a real trier.
Pirate has had a few outings, a couple to Moores Farm, where he schooled around 80cm courses, Tumpy Green cross country schooling and his first competitions, a show jumping class and an 80cm eventer's challenge where he came 1st. He has been a complete angel to take out and so easy to deal with in all ways!
In everything, he is a kind lad who tries his best, naturally says yes to every question. He will be such a lovely horse for someone to produce due to his nature and stamp, we could certainly see him eventing or team chasing in the not too distant future.
He is partially blind in one eye but passed a 5 stage in March with the advisory that he does beautifully with it, and it hasn't caused him any issues. Our vet has also checked it and has said that without him experiencing further trauma, it shouldn't be a problem (which is the same for any horse!). Back recently checked. He does head shake slightly, we think due to pollen, but this is virtually unnoticeable with a nose net. He also has a few very small sarcoids in places where they do not affect him. This horse would be worth at least £10000 without these issues as he's as honest as the day is long, so please be assured that we have taken this into account when pricing him.
Myrtle
Myrtle's Mystery (Revoque x Emma Lilley) is a 16.1, 10 year old mare.
Myrtle is an experienced riding club horse, who has done a bit of everything in the past. Hacks alone and in company and is happy and bold with traffic, roadworks, lorries and bikes, though of course she can have a look at differently coloured leaves and squirrels...
Schools really nicely on the flat in walk trot and canter, and will happily pop fences including fillers. No reason to imagine she couldn't be back up to jumping at 100 level with a little work.
She had been sold by us about a month ago, but didn't settle, we think due to saddle fit, but it was also a quiet yard, so friends to turn out and be in with is a must. During this time she threw a couple of bucks, but has gone back to being perfect with us since being back, and is ridden by a range of rider with no issues.
She is a sweetheart on the ground and easy to deal with. She has been slightly tricky to load with past owners, but has been ok here with us, and with her new owners.
She has failed a flexion test, BUT the vet said he was happy with soundness on soft and hard surfaces and we have had NO issues with soundness in the time she's been with us. We personally put no stock in flexions because we've known a few sound horses to fail but the price reflects this.
She wouldn't suit a complete novice, but is not a complicated ride either and we have put multiple novices on her with no difficulties. A home where she would hack, fun ride and riding club activities would be ideal.
£4500
Liath
Liath (Misty Awana - Paco Boy x Permaisuri)
3 year old (February 2018), 15hh mare.
Originally bought to be a polo pony, but isn’t yet strong enough, hence the sale. However, she is a brilliant prospect for any job.
We cannot believe how balanced Liath is for her age, although forward going she also has good brakes. Only started working on a contact when she arrived, but this is now natural and established a couple of weeks later. She has hacked alone and in company, in traffic and open spaces. Her owner has sent us videos of her cantering and stopping easily in the field, as well as splashing through water.
Has also popped a small fence but we would rather anyone interested in her had the time to slowly produce her, as she really could go on to excel in any sphere. She has been as well educated as her age allows, and now needs to find a great home.
Super polite and willing to do anything asked of her.
£4000 home more important than price.
Laddie
Laddie is 4 year old 15.2hh (approximately) chestnut gelding.
He came to us after about 6 months out of race training, to be restarted and see a different life from racing. We originally sourced him for friends and clients who we have sold a couple of horses to, and he came to us for a couple of weeks before going to home to live his best life with them.
His jockey is only 12 and is rather tiny, he has been working on further producing Laddie on the flat, and over fences too, though he is being slowly and carefully produced. Over the summer, Laddie hacked around the lanes alone and in company and schooled in a 10+ acre field. The only complaint his rider has is that he's too easy, because he's used to riding a hot 16.2hh!
The reason for sale is that his owners are cutting down on horse numbers because Laddie's rider is so comfortable sharing the bigger horses.
Turns out with mares or geldings and is extremely easy to tack up, shoe etc.
His only advice is that he will crib if given half a chance, but this is not an issue if kept in electric fencing.
£3500 price to increase as he continues his riding horse career.
Testimonial
"You couldn't get more honest and caring people, if you want your dream horse can highly recommend them, we have a once in a lifetime pony from them"
-Clare, Buyer
Storm
Lovely natured pony with lots of potential to be an absolute star!
He came to us because the lady who’d bought him from her grandchildren had thought he was more established than he was. He’s been absolutely super with us but had been allowed to be a little bit feral there.
Since being with us he’s regained ground manners v quickly and is happy to walk, trot and canter on a hack on or off lead. He was initially a little spooky but has gained confidence and is now a pretty comfortable ride, he's super in traffic.
V flashy so will show well, and starting to work well in the arena, with walk and trot now fairly established, and canter well on its way. He has a great jump, but isn't an over jumper either, so ideal for kids.
He has a leg on each corner, so would suit a family home where there's perhaps an older rider who could pop on from time to time and keep up his training.
Easy keeper, currently v overweight with no signs of lami. Good feet. Will go out with any other horse.
Will suit someone knowledgeable who wants a v nice pony on a budget.
