1. ‘Very special’
(Image credit: creditUnknown)
Height: 16.1hh
Gender: mare
Age: eight
Selling points: “This is a sad sale of a very special mare — she is exceptionally loving and very sweet-natured and isn’t mare-ish in any way. She could be a pure dressage horse as she is excelling in her flatwork with three lovely paces. She has all the ability and quality for a professional, but equally has the temperament and training for an amateur to compete and have fun with. She i very competently educated and eager to please on the flat — she is very quick to learn. Having been produced slowly and backed as a late four-year-old and she has been given the time to mature and develop. She oozes presence and is a joy to watch. She previously competed at BE90 producing a superb dressage score of 23.5 (76.5% ) in only her second outing as a five-year-old. She is ready to go out to do British Dressage (BD) novice. She’s snaffled mouthed but isn’t a keen showjumper — she will pop the odd 1.10m with scope, however this is not something she particularly enjoys, hence the reason for the very sad sale. The pandemic has prevented her going out competing, so she is low mileage. She has an easy, trainable brain and a real willingness to please. She is lovely and polite to hack and would make a lovely mother/daughter share. She is a fabulous little horse with beautiful conformation and she really is a lovely person.”

2. ‘Talented’
(Image credit: creditUnknown)
Height: 15.2hh
Gender: mare
Age: 11
Selling points: “This mare is a top young rider candidate and will go to the very top British Showjumping (BS) — she is skipping around 1.20m tracks for fun, is very clever and careful and a real winning machine in the making. She is a top contender for Bronze/ Silver League, Young Riders, qualifying second rounds etc. She has done an abundance of showjumping at riding club open level 1.10/1.15m level with so much untapped potential to climb the BS ladder, never stops and is as careful as a cat. She is a double clear machine through and through and has all the talented to become one of the best amateur/young rider horses in the U.K. ‘Minnie’ is very well schooled and moves correctly She is phenomenal across country and has dabbled in eventing. She has done all Pony Club (PC) and riding club (RC) activities — she is an asset to a high end, competitive rider to represent the teams at open level. A super-fun mare, not at all sharp to ride loves to have a job and win classes. Does have a bit of “sass” and prefers to hack in company so is looking for a keen, competitive home. She has seen traffic/open space etc and has no stable vices.”
Selling points: “This thoroughbred mare has competed at BE100 and BS newcomers/foxhunter, BD and hunter trials. She is eligible for Retraining of Racehorses and happily jumps 1.20m+. She hacks out alone or in company and loves to work. She is an excellent young rider eventer and all-rounder. She is great to box, travel, shoe, clip. She is a schoolmistress but not a novice ride. This is a very sad sale due to an Armed Forces career.”
Selling points: “This mare is by the very popular show jumping Selle Francais stallion, Hermes De Reve, out of a thoroughbred mare, so would also make a fabulous eventer. She has a super temperament and is easy to do in all ways. She is coming along nicely on the flat and has also been very straightforward to show jump and cross-country school. She hacks out alone and in company and is unfazed by heavy traffic. She is viceless and is easy to deal with on your own, easy to load in a trailer and wagon. She is the sweetest of mares and is not at all mareish.”
Selling points: “This horse has traditional Irish lines with Master Imp on his dam’s side. He is in work, ready to be produced for show horse, working hunter, hunt, event, dressage or showjump classes. He has good paces, has lunged over a jump and hacks. He has low mileage so an experienced, serious home is sought to further his education.”
