Caspian is a real model, he has a great outlook on life with serious potential. He is a full thoroughbred by Great Pretender out of a mare by Priolo. He retired from racing sound in February 2024 and is ready to go on to his new career. He really loves being around people and we are now starting to see his real character, he is very sweet, lovable and he is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Caspian is a very striking horse that learns very quickly and thoroughly enjoys his work. His education within the school is progressing nicely and has just started to work well in a good frame, with 3 elegant paces, an uphill canter and he certainly has the wow factor when it comes to RoR competition.

Caspian is currently jumping around a small course of fences, and finds it all very easy. He has a good technique over a fence, stays in a good rhythm, and is not phased by fillers. He could be disguised as a warmblood as he does not have a stereotypical TB jump. He has gone around a small course of cross country fences, will be an easy horse to train cross country, he is straight, brave and balances himself well on a line.

Caspian has mainly hacked in company and has done minimal hacking alone, so would benefit from more of this. He has seen village traffic and small amounts of farm machinery.

Caspian would really suit a competiton home, with someone who is willing enough to give him the education he needs to really progress in any discipline.

Good to shoe, catch and load. Open to vet. No vices.


Super all rounder

A very exciting opportunity to purchase this fabulous horse, Pip. A very well bred talented little Gelding with a heart of gold. His sire is 'Check In' who's lineage includes cor de la bryere and Lord Pezi. His progeny is impressive with a string of successful international show jumpers and Eventers. Pips Dam sire, 'High valley z' also has an impressive progeny and has very well related lineage.

Pip has plenty of experience in a variety of disciplines, he has been targeted mainly at dressage over the past 4 years due to rider injury and has successfully competed up to elementary level BD, qualifying for regionals at this level. Prior to this he had competed in numerous unaffiliated showjumping competitions and one day events at BE80 level. He has been schooled meticulously well and has 3 very beautiful floaty paces.

Recently Pip has jumped around a british novice on a ticket with serious scope, he is very genuine, takes a miss stride, he is unphased by fillers and really lights up when he sees a fence. For this reason we would really like to see Pip in a fun, competitive jumping/ pony club home.

Pip is a saint to hack alone and in company and is good in traffic and is a pleasure to deal with on the ground at home and at a show.

He is easy to do in every way, shoe, box, clip etc. He has the best stable manners and truly loves people around him. He has no vices, and is the true gentleman both ridden and on the ground.

Pip had to undergo colic surgery 5 years ago, he never had colic prior to this and has not had colic since his surgery, the owners are being very open and honest and his full vet history is available to view. This is the only reason this horse is not up for sale for £25k.

This is a heartbreaking sale, and will only be available to the very best of homes.
