Age: eight
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “This horse successfully competed in four-year-old event horse classes in Ireland and has been professionally schooled in the UK. He has been placed in unaffiliated dressage and has showjumped double clear in British Showjumping competitions. He has lovely paces and is a bold and brave jumper. He has the skills and attitude to go on in any sphere. He would also excel in the show ring. He is good to box, shoe, clip and hack.”
Selling points: “‘Marcus’ is a small hunter type show horse with straight and extravagant paces and a nice jump. He has competed at local indoor unaffiliated showjumping and dressage competitions, fun rides and cross-country. He hacks out alone and in company and is vice and blemish free.”
Selling points: “‘Brenda’ is stunning to look at, has lots of talent and ability and best of all an absolutely fantastic temperament. She has a fantastic, forgiving, honest nature and a willing genuine attitude. She has three lovely paces and a big, bold careful jump. She is happily jumping 90cm-1m at shows and is jumping around 1.10-1.15m at home. She absolutely loved cross-country schooling around BE90/100 fences. With continued outings and experience this season she is sure to be one to watch on the eventing scene especially for an amateur rider to excel at grassroots level. She is extremely easy to do with brilliant stable manners, has no vices, never stresses and doesn’t need daily riding to keep her sane. She is an absolute superstar to hack and has absolutely no issues. “
Selling points: “‘Lady’ is a forward going, responsive ride with big, expressive paces. She would suit a small adult looking to focus on dressage. She is working at novice level and has competed at unaffiliated prelim level. Lady has been owned for 18 months by an elderly lady and used for a small amount of flatwork and plenty of hacking. As her current owner doesn’t jump she is green in this regard but has been tried cross-country and is bold and straight to a fence. Lady is a straightforward and safe hack alone or in company, is snaffle mouthed, excellent to box/shoe/clip and lives in or out.”
Selling points: “This horse has been in the same home for eight years and has competed in all riding club activities. He is loving to handle with no vices. He has been regularly placed in unaffiliated novice dressage and riding club area dressage. He has also competed in the riding club showjumping championships at Hartpury in 2013 and attended summer camp in 2014. New baby means he is being wasted at his current home. Five-star home a must for this lovely boy who deserves a forever home.”
