1. ‘Outstanding quality’
Height: 16.3hh
Gender: gelding
Age: six

2. ‘Super-smart’
Height: 16hh
Gender: gelding
Age: six
Selling points: “This is a super-smart gelding by Vincent II. He won a BE90 section at Chilham, was third at Rackham, fourth at Munstead and was 10th in his first BE100 at Brightling. He is a lovely young horse who has a very good grassroots record and is sure to be a real Badminton grassroots championship contender. He is very smart in all three phases with his dressage scores usually in the 20s. He has showjumped up to discovery with double clears and is super clever and always clear cross-country. He has also done arena eventing and hacks alone and in company. He can be sharp as he is still young and green so would suit a competent teenager/amateur who has the time to spend with him as he loves being fussed and cuddled.”

3. ‘Turns heads everywhere’
Height: 16.2hh
Gender: gelding
Age: eight
Selling points: “This is a very reluctant sale of my home-bred dressage gelding with grand prix potential. He is a fabulous horse that is competing and winning at advanced medium level dressage, and is working at advanced level at home. He has an impressive record with a number of wins at every level, with scores up to and over 70%. He qualified for and competed at the Petplan finals last year, and was also placed in the six-year-old championships at Hickstead. Judges love him and he has the most brilliant attitude making him the most trainable horse I have ever had. He works so correctly in every movement with his flying-changes nearly established. He has started piaffe and canter pirouettes and this is just with me playing about as I’m predominantly an eventer and I haven’t put that much time into him. He is a sensitive and powerful ride and finds everything easy. He turns heads everywhere and is a serious junior/young rider/grand prix prospect. He is easy to do in every way, he hacks out alone and in company with my mum and has hunted too. Everything I teach him he seems to already know — he teaches me more!”

4. ‘Beautiful’
Height: 16.3hh
Gender: mare
Age: nine
Selling points: “‘Florentina’ is truly one of the most beautiful horses I have met, both inside and out and has been a pleasure to own over the past two years. We have competed successfully to 1.30m and she has an outstanding jump with the scope for 1.40m and more. Florentina is the perfect combination of forward going while staying sane and very rideable. I believe she would make a fabulous horse for a competent amateur looking to progress through the levels or alternatively she would also suit a professional as she certainly has the scope for the highest level. She is fabulous to hack and will go alone or in company. Good in traffic. She is beautifully schooled and is exceptionally well-mannered in the stable and loved by everyone on the yard. She has absolutely no vices.”

5. ‘Jumping machine’
Height: 17.2hh
Gender: gelding
Age: 12
Selling points: “‘Saph’ is the perfect competition horse for an experienced rider to compete at intermediate/three-star level eventing or to showjump to Foxhunter level and upwards. He started life as a showjumper in France, being placed in many young horse classes, and has been clear in 1.25m classes and jumped to 1.50m in the school. He started eventing last year and has been BE registered for 18 months, going from BE90 to novice level in a season with an amateur rider. He came ninth in a novice section at Barbury and third in intermediate novice at Dauntsey. He is now ready to go to intermediate and three-star upwards. This horse is an absolute jumping machine and he never stops. He is fast, bold and careful both showjumping and cross-country. However, he needs a competition home and an experienced rider to take him forward, but he is perfect for a young professional to take to three-star this year. He loads and clips etc without problem. He has hunted at the front and back of the field and jumps absolutely everything. He would also make a super open team chaser.”
