    Age: eight

    Gender: gelding

    Selling points: “This horse would make a super amateur’s or young rider’s horse. He knows his job and is incredibly genuine to a fence. He has jumped up to BS foxhunter level, proving sensible enough to be a first competition horse but is also talented enough for a competitive amateur. He works well on the flat and is always in the ribbons at local dressage competitions. He has done some cross-country proving to be bold and brave with potential to event. Good to do.”

    Gender: mare

    Selling points: “This horse finished her short racing career at four-years-old (only ran three times) and has since been professionally schooled and competed successfully in all disciplines. Would be an ideal riding club/Pony Club horse and will compete happily at BE 80-100 level showing scope to progress further. The perfect all-rounder who is fit and ready to compete. A pleasure to work with in the stable.”

He is great across country, jumping banks, ditches and water in his stride. He is great to hack and a gentleman in every respect.”

    Height: 16.1hh

    Age: 12

    Gender: gelding

    Selling points: “‘Kai’ has competed up to two-star level eventing but he would be more suited to the lower levels with a confident jockey. He is very well schooled and the judges love him. With a trainable attitude and lovely paces he would easily affiliate and progress through the levels. He is a good showjumper with many clears to his record, including several competitive BS outings. He is a very sound horse and easy to do in every way.”
