Ex Race Horses: Over 16hh

Proven Teamchaser looking for his next bestfriend

  • Proven Teamchaser
  • Ultimate allrounder and bestfriend

Dream is a 16hh 10 year old ex racer, he has been in the same home since he finished his racing career and has proven time and time again that he is worth his weight in gold.

We have competed in multiple novice teamchases, Dream loves XC and will take you boldly over any course. I have no doubt in his ability to continue on and complete an intermediate teamchase.

Dream has taken me around several hunter trails, he is always careful and courageous. He hacks amazingly alone and in company and loves a good jumping session in the school.

I cannot fault this horse, he will stand to be clipped, for the farrier, dentist, always loads and is currently up to date with everything.

This is a very hard sale, he will only go to the best of homes and I am in no rush to see him go anywhere. The home must be right. A genuine reason forces this sale which I will discuss with his new home.

Dream can come with everything he will need for his new forever home as well as his tack for an extra cost.

No time wasters or joy riders please, all homes will be vetted.

Dream has previously had sarcoids and ulcers when he came out of racing, these were treated by myself however if this bothers you please do not enquire.

Inky works comfortably at the elementary level and shows excellent lateral movements. He is easy to handle in every aspect, with no vices, and is fantastic in traffic. He is also perfect to load and traveling.

He would make a fabulous all-rounder for a lady rider or an ideal first horse, as he is a true gentleman, super easy to care for, and well-mannered in every situation. Whether living in or out, he adores people and thrives on attention.

With his previous owner, an amateur Pony Club rider, he competed up to 100cm in eventing. He has also qualified for area festivals, associated championships for Thoroughbreds, and the RoR Championships. At shows, he is easy to manage, impeccably behaved in warm-ups, and has taken part in Pony Club Championships and beach rides.

  • 6 years

Lucky Casino is an outstanding quality TB. Standing at 16’2HH 6yo bay gelding. He oozes natural ability with a fabulous temperament to match.

Recently retired from racing/training, sound, healthy and without injury or vices. I truly believe this beautifully put together horse with excel in all disciplines across the ROR competitions once fully retrained. Since being with us to be retrained he has been out to arena hires, combined training, poles rallies, and jump clinics.

He is exceptionally well behaved at shows, and is happy to be left on the lorry/trailer or even tied beside it. He doesn’t get stressy or hot up and warms up professionally around others in the warm up areas. Lucky is a beautiful mover with a great hind leg, a balanced canter and a correct bold technique over a fence. He’s seen loads of different types of fillers and rustic fences and isn’t a spooky type.

He will happily hack alone or in company and is a pleasure to ride. He loves to learn new things and is very trainable. Easy to do anything with, and has the best attitude towards life. A real quality gelding that would suit any job from dressage, showjumping, eventing, hunting, mother and daughter share.

He is still in the early stages of his retraining so will need an experienced person to continue this. A very hard type to find with this much potential and a horse so conformationally correct.

The ultimate safe, straightforward, kind RoR. A very special horse.

Retired from racing injury free but extremely slow.

16.2 4yo gelding, with lots of scope to furnish.

Could put your granny on, but equally responsive and fun.

Ridden by intermediate 13yo girl.

Never fresh, no antics whatsoever.

Hacks out alone and in company and is a comical degree of unfazed- leads our hunters past anything ‘scary’, without pricking an ear.

Rides and leads

About to start the odd day trail hunting with us.

Nice, basic work in the arena that improves every time. A quick learner that is understanding an ‘outline’ and now needs more mileage and strength.

Loving his jumping, doesn’t look at any fillers or ‘rider scarers’ and has never ever said no. Goes off any stride. Ready to go clear around 70cm now, and this could progress very quickly indeed.

A beautiful nature, unspoilt with no quirks, could make so many people happy whether a teen/ pleasure horse/ hunting/ competition.

Wildewood

8yr old 16.2 gelding

Woody has been reschooled slowly by his owner since coming out of training in 2020. His owner has done mainly flatwork amd hacking with him and he has been placed in dressage classes.

He came to me in September and since then has competed in shows jumping 80/90 with loads of scope for more, he has been to one sponsored ride jumping everything asked of him and he has been cross country schooling once and loved it.

Rides nicely on the flat, lots of step and covers great ground. Hacks out alone and in company and is good with any traffic we've met so far. He is good to shoe, clip, load and travel, a pleasure to have around the yard and can be handled by a 10yr old.

Woody has the potential to be a great junior/young rider event horse, he is also straight and correct and RoR eligible.

Video shows his first time cross country.

Based in Ireland, transport can be arranged.

I have owned Quinn for a short time and though I adore this boy I have to be realistic in the fact that he is not the horse for me and would make an amazing best friend for someone!

Quinn is very well schooled - super soft in the mouth and what I would describe as a schoolmaster. Has all the buttons and does a nice medium trot with more strength and schooling he would make a wonderful elementary dressage horse with scope to achieve higher. However he is an ex racer, so can be sharp if he has a spook. He is balanced and uphill with lovely paces and has competed to novice dressage including competing at Blenheim this year in the ROR. Also enjoys a jump but he is no record breaker, however very sensible to jump when he has been in regular work. Been there done it type, also hunted.

To hack he prefers company however will hack on his own with a confident rider, very sensible and used to all sorts of traffic.

In the stable he is a big Labrador, super pleasant to own and very chilled out in the field- happy to be alone or with another horse, have even had a bonfire next to his field and didn’t bat an eyelid. Still as a statue to clip and bath.

Would suit a dressage / RC home or low level jumping. No stable vices, lovely person on the ground.

For sale due to a change in commitments, I am starting a course in the new year and I feel I won’t have the time for him that he so deserves.

He is easy to do in all ways on the ground and in his ridden work. He is schooled well and has 3 balanced paces and also loves to jump.

He is fit and ready to go out and win some rosettes.

He is not suitable for a novice. Ideally he is looking for a competitive home so he can go out and start having some fun. He is honestly such a gent and is going to make some lucky person very happy.

Name: Soft Summer Breeze - Old fashioned type TB, plenty of bone and big stamp.

Starting to work well on the flat, plenty to work on but she is very willing and happy in the school.

Started jumping coloured poles and been XC once. She is very sweet and takes life in.

More of a laid back ride than a forward one.

Happy to hack alone or in company.

She is still green but a quick learner. Would suit someone on a budget that’s happy to put the time in. As she will be a super horse when finished.

I would think she would love to go hunting.

Home important and a non racing agreement.

Very sad sale of my 7yo 16.3hh TB, Brawby- due to having a baby I don’t have the time or energy to give him what he needs.
He has great potential, but is currently a green project horse as he has been unridden for over a year due to pregnancy. I got Brawby when he was 4yo and he was brought into work slowly but due to personal circumstances he hasn’t had consistent work in his life. Before I got pregnant he was starting to pop a couple of jumps, he has lovely paces once he is in work but is a gangly horse when not in work so for this reason will require a competent rider.

He is good to clip, shoe and for the dentist, etc.

Brawby is the sweetest soul, so the right home is more important than price as he deserves the best. Contact me for more details, pictures and videos.

Tommy is a recently re trained ex race horse (last raced in April 2024). Having been given a few months off post retirement he has since been professionally schooled, jumped is hacking confidently alone or with company.

Tommy has an excellent attitude towards his work & is quick to learn. He has 3 balanced correct paces & finds lateral work easy. He would excel in dressage or with an amateur event home.

He is a sensitive ride, although not silly/ dangerous he would suit a quiet experienced rider.

This chap has a fantastic character around the yard & is a real pleasure have around.

This is a horse that has been correctly produced since retiring from the track & is ready to progress further with competent amateur.

Good to shoe, load, clip etc.

Diego

13 year old, 16.2hh Bay gelding

absolute saint , a true gentleman

Good as gold out hunting, stands still, takes it all in his stride, trots and pops anything you face him at, a true confidence giver on the hunting field, will look after you all day long, snaffle mouthed , 100% trust worthy. Fit and ready to go, Will be hunting for the rest of the season until he finds his new home. One we wish we could all keep here, but we have so many in and Diego is truly an absolute gem ??

Placed 2nd in his first prelim dressage (wasn’t even supposed to be going but substituted in for one of my others! As my other one had to pull
Out)
Again an absolute pleasure , foot perfected all day!

Been to an arena hire and jumped a course of 90cms , fillers, planks , doubles, combinations , spreads, all at his first time seeing show jumps !

If you want the perfect all-rounder, hunt horse, and just a super fun horse , look no further!

This horse is something very special, a real head turner with the most gorgeous eyes
and such a pleasure to deal with!

Would suit a home that wants to do a bit of everything, fantastic movement on him, great
attitude, just a lovely all rounder, would hunt all day, equally would go a be a happy hacker or he would be perfect for a family home / mother-daughter share that just wants to give him all of the attention and cuddles.

Currently ridden by my own mum both in the arena and hacking out and about aswell as a few of the younger teens here and looked after my friend hunting last weekend.

Hacks alone or in company, good in heavy traffic, fit and ready to go, good in the arena, 3 balanced paces

Golden as they come, you can leave him and then get up on him no worries, good as gold. I am looking for a forever home for him as he is a really sweet boy.

He has had his life in racing and doesn’t owe anyone anything, he’s done his job and now wants to learn all about the riding horse life.

Although Diego is very well behaved, he is not a novice ride as he is still a tb and a big horse

Will equally look after a young child wanting to dawdle around the arena or dawdle out on a hack but will step up when required. The kindest, easiest horse to deal with on the ground, never pulls a face, never raises a hoof and is never grumpy.

Good to box, trailer, clip and shoe, up to date on shoes , chiropractor/physio and vaccinations up to date. Teeth just recently been done in the last 3/4weeks .

Also just a note has great feet! Currently shod all round.

No vices.
