    1. ‘Really smart’

    Bay horses for sale

    Height: 16.3hh

    Gender: gelding

    Age: seven

    Selling points: “‘Bean’ is a really smart model of a horse, with three fantastic and correct paces. He is by world class stallion OBOS Quality and his dam sire is by Cavalier Royale. His breeding screams talent, and talented is certainly what he is. He has a naturally balanced jump, and has jumped double clear up to 120cm SJI in Ireland. Bean jumps these tracks with a lot of ease, and would most definitely go up the levels. He is not fazed by fillers, water trays etc. – he is very brave and careful over a fence. He works nicely on the flat, and has some basic lateral work established. He is jumping around discovery and newcomers in the UK, looking to go on. Bean is good to hack alone and in company and has seen village and farm traffic. He has perfect ground manners and is good to shoe, box, clip, trim etc. He has no vices, good conformation and is well put together.”

He is good to do in all ways and has been a respectable horse for a novice rider. He is still green in the school and needs an experienced home and rider where the best can be brought out of him. He hacks alone and in company at any pace and is responsive to aids (more kick than pull). He’s seen poles and coloured fences and has shown willing to all.”

    4. ‘Grand prix potential

    Bay horses for sale

    Height: 16hh

    Gender: gelding

    Age: eight

    Selling points: “This superb KWPN is a compact sporty type, with serious paces, plenty of energy, and the all important adjustability needed for top level dressage. He is also strikingly beautiful, sweet natured, and easy to handle on the ground. ‘Senna’ has a successful British Dressage competition record starting out as five-year-old and six-year-old, qualifying for major British young horse competitions – Shearwater National Young Horse semi-finals, and the British Young Horse Championships, and is currently competing at medium level, scoring over 70%. As a youngster, he featured in a popular online training series with world class trainer Jenku Dietrichsen. His training education is well-documented, providing a unique opportunity for us to share his complete history – which is extremely rare when buying horses! Although Senna would be suitable for a professional or an ambitious amateur rider, he does need to be ridden confidently by someone who understands how to ride a horse in front of the leg. If you are looking for serious performance potential, he will absolutely be a star of the future.”

    5. ‘Incredibly flashy’

    Bay horses for sale

    Height: 16hh

    Gender: mare

    Age: 10

    Selling points: “‘Cleo’ is a classy mare inside and out. She has a beautiful temperament, is very kind and easy to do everything with. She is reliable around children and enjoys affection. She is an excellent model, a real head turner and firm yard favourite! She is an uphill, light and elastic mover with an eye-catching presence. She is easy to ride on the flat, forward off the leg and easy to collect together. Cleo has ridden through dressage tests up to novice and scored sub-30s at unaffiliated one-day events. Cleo has a bold and scopey jump, is very careful and rarely has a pole. She is forward to a fence and has tonnes of rideability around a course – she is very helpful and will go off any stride. Cleo has jumped around courses up to a metre but certainly has the scope for a lot more. Cross-country is where she’s really in her element, being so careful and great fun. She is not at all fazed by water or ditches. Again, she remains helpful if the rider is wrong and is a very honest little horse. Cleo also enjoys beach, hunting and fun rides. Cleo enjoys hacking, alone or in company and is not fazed by busy roads and is fantastic in open spaces. She is safe and reliable and regularly ridden by our working pupils. Cleo would excel in any discipline and easily has the ability to go up through the levels – at the same time, she would happily make a fun pleasure horse for someone just wanting to have fun and be taken care of.”
