Tyson is a 5 year old absolutely exquisite thoroughbred. He finished racing in August 2022 which is when I purchased him, he's taken to his new life like a duck to water he is incredibly well balanced and rides beautifully, light in the hand and easy off the leg.

He has competed both unaffiliated and affiliated in dressage and showing, always coming home in the top two. He lives in or out he's good to shoe box clip catch etc.

Upto date with vaccination / teeth / worming / physio etc.

He is happy to be in regular work or not for example he is fine if you get back ok after a few weeks break,

All this being said he is still a young ex race horse and is a typical tb he needs routine and can be stressed in certain situations so will not be sold to a novice home and needs a confident rider who knows what there doing, he can be spooky and sharp in new situations but is improving every day and I believe he would be anyone's ride in the future if the correct schooling is put in

He is out and out hoys quality horse with his whole future ahead of him.

He will continue competing with me until the right home comes along. He is currently entered in the ror at Devon county show and royal Cornwall show.

SUPER EVENT PROSPECT

  • Thoroughbred
  • Grey
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.3 hands
  • Smart mover with a lovely jump.

15.3hh, rising 7 year old, TB, gelding.

Ronnie is an active and attractive mover who is coming together very nicely on the flat. He was bred for racing. However, he was sold to his current owner before going into training, as a lightly backed 4 year old- so he has never raced.

He is capable and very careful over a fence with a good technique and very much enjoys jumping. Bold to his fences and has seen a variety of fillers. Honest jumper.

Ronnie's current owner has produced him steadily, and he has done a little bit of everything with her, including a couple of XC schools and an unaffiliated Dressage competition.

Good to hack alone and in company and has been good in all the traffic we have met with him, catch, shoe etc...

Ronnie would suit a confident, quiet rider to continue his education. He is not suitable for a novice rider as he is a little bit sharp and can spook. He does have enough ability to interest an ambitious amateur rider, and would have ability to Event to Novice level in time. He has the makings of a very nice, competitive little Event horse with a bit of time spent on furthering his education, and will be a very rewarding project for the right person.

Ronnie's has been with us on schooling livery to be produced for sale for 4 months now. He is nicely schooled and has had time spent on furthering his education. He has been for some trips off the yard with us recently to different venues where he has travelled and behaved very well. He is a talented little horse who is ready to get out and about and to begin his competitive career this season.

Up to date teeth, jabs, physio etc. In work 6 days a week. Fit, sound and ready for action!

Only for sale as his owner has relocated to Cyprus.

Good home is very important for this sweet chap.

Has been seen to weave in the stable when stressed. Best suited to a home with plenty of turnout.

Sold on behalf of owner.

He is good to shoe, box, catch, clip.

All history known from 5 years old, retired sound from racing and has been quietly

This fabulous little mare is now ready to find her forever home…(although present yard would love her to stay!) She last raced 6th November 2023 and started her reschooling 9 weeks ago and is quickly becoming an absolute superstar!! She has taken to it like a true professional.

Only raced 5 times where it became apparent this wasn’t her forte and the decision to pull her out of racing was the right one as she is completely wowing everyone with how she is taking to her new job!

On her first dressage outing she was phenomenal. Freize didn't heat up or get distracted and was almost push button. She was definitely the easiest first outing ride I have ever had. That said she is NOT a novice or nervous ride. She gains all her confidence from her rider.

She is very sweet and quiet to handle in the stable. Good to ride. She loves hacking and is very inquisitive (or nosey!!??) but is good in traffic. Good to shoe. Easy in every way.

Freize is happily jumping coloured poles and rustic xc type fences. Her flat work is improving daily. She will in time make a super event horse.

Will be viewed at livery where she is being reschooled. Being sold by her owner/breeders to dissolve a syndicate.

Super model of a TB. Barney is a 15’2HH 11yo bay gelding. He works very nicely on the flat, with a lovely soft snaffle mouth.

He carries himself in a natural outline with 3 balanced paces. He rides like an overgrown pony and is so much fun. Barney has attended pony club rallies, pony club camps, been on fun rides, he’s cross country schooled, unaffiliated combined training, showjumping and arena eventing.

He has turned his hooves to absolutely everything his owners have asked him to do with a completely genuine and honest outlook on life. He is never spooky or sharp. You could literally ride him anywhere, main roads, huge open fields, country lanes, alone and in company, he’s herded sheep and cattle on the farm.

He really is just a total dude of a horse! Barney would suit someone wanting a super reliable happy, kind and straightforward fun horse for any job, eventing, showjumping, riding club, competent mother and daughter share. He is a saint to do anything with, shoe, box, catch etc. no known ridden or stable vices.

Barney will not suit a novice, he’s a fun bubbly horse that needs a jockey that can ride to a half decent standard. Please no more kids coming out of a riding school claiming they can ride…….
