Dragon Driving
7 year old Thoroughbred Gelding. Cheap due to being overstocked – not a reflection of quality. Living out ATM. 16.2hh Retired from racing and now retrained. Ted has mainly been used for hacking since leaving racing and is a sensible, enjoyable ride out. He hacks well.
He is still green in the school due to lack of consistent schooling, making him an ideal project for someone wanting to put their own stamp on a horse. Plenty of potential for riding club, hacking or further retraining. Shod in front, barefoot behind, with front shoes freshly done and ready to go.
On the ground he can occasionally be a little grumpy, but nothing nasty or malicious and he responds well to a confident handler with clear boundaries. Ted previously had a very mild bout of laminitis. It was never claimed for on insurance and has caused no issues since. Never saw vet. Affordable project or potential flip for someone with the time to further his schooling. Offers if goes asap.

Sophie, 16hh stunning 4 year old (April) Friesian x cob mare. Sire is Hessel, Friesian and mother is a cob. Full history known and sire is owned by me, can be seen. Exceptional markings. Sophie was broken lightly as a 3 year old and then turned away to mature.
She has just been brought back in to start her again after being wintered out, she is excellent in traffic and will go on a busy main road, she is ready to start proper education, has not been rushed or spoilt, almost a blank canvas and will go far in the right hands. She will excel in any discipline.
Lovely up standing mare. She was also lightly broken last year to drive but we have only ridden her. For more information or videos please don't hesitate to ask. Sire can be seen in the pictures.

Smart, 3 year old Thoroughbred colt by Soldier's Call, out of Ballybacka Lady, a group 3 winner in Ireland. Standing approximately 15.1/15.2hh, he has been backed and ridden away before enjoying around 8 months off to mature and grow on. He is now ready to continue his education and would make a lovely riding club, pony club or all-round prospect.
Although eligible to return to training, we feel he is equally suited to someone wanting a quality young horse to produce for dressage, showing, eventing, hacking or general riding club activities. He has never raced due to his previous trainer emigrating and stepping away from racing.
Still entire, although gelding can be arranged here at the buyer's expense if desired. Currently missing a little hair from field scrapes, but these are purely cosmetic and already growing back. A well-bred youngster with a bright future ahead of him. Sensibly priced. Messages welcome.

17hh, 13 year old gelding, RoR eligible. Dan is a big, chunky gelding looking for his next home. In his previous home he enjoyed a range of riding club activities including dressage, showjumping, fun rides and plenty of hacking, which was his main job. He is greener on the flat than out hacking but has previously been well schooled.
Since arriving with us, Dan has been hacked down the main road and has proven sensible in traffic. He has recently returned to work after some time off due to his owner's circumstances and has come back with no issues. Dan is good to handle, lives in or out, is barefoot and up to date with everything.
Dan is loud in the wind when cantering, although this does not affect him. He also has an unusual walk where he places one foot in front of the other, something he has always done and which does not affect his ridden work. Priced to sell before we further his assessment and get more videos. Previous home videos available.

Milo is looking for an experienced home to continue his retraining after racing. Retiring from racing sound with no injuries. Standing at 16.2hh, Milo is an athletic, uphill-moving horse who naturally goes forward. He is still learning about life after racing and benefits from a confident rider, but he remains genuine in his work.
He may step away from the mounting block or when being legged up, but we are actively working on this and his confidence is improving. Once mounted he gets on with the job. He simply needs a rider building his confidence. He has started being introduced to coloured poles and is taking everything in his stride. We have not yet begun hacking him as we want him settled into a routine before introducing another new challenge, particularly as our yards on a main road.
Milo loads and travels well, is shod in front and barefoot behind. This lovely gelding has plenty to offer and, with a bit of time and consistency, will make somebody a fantastic horse.

15.3/16hh, 5 year old Thoroughbred mare. Unnamed on her passport, we've been calling her Daisy. She comes from one of our trusted trainers and has been backed in pre-training, walking, trotting and cantering, but has never been up the gallops. She genuinely doesn't know how to be a racehorse, making her an ideal blank canvas for someone wanting to produce a young horse their own way.
Daisy has had six months off to mature and is now ready for her next chapter to be rebacked and ridden away. She is athletic, kind natured and a little shy initially, but never nasty. She turns out with mares and geldings and is happy living in or out. We have recently free jumped her and she showed a lovely technique, willingness and natural athleticism. She looks to have plenty of potential for a variety of disciplines.
Available now before we bring her back into work ourselves. Barefoot. East Yorkshire based, near Goole. Delivery can be arranged. No sensible offer refused.

Thoroughbred mare, registered with Weatherbys. Possibly in foal to a warmblood cross Thoroughbred stallion, due in early March 2027.
15.3hh, the sire to the foal is 16.2hh. She is only for sale due to the loss of our yard. A sad sale.
Spirit is a friendly mare who loves attention and has apparently been raced. No time wasters.

This is a hard advert to write! Only serious buyers, no time wasters. This is a quality competition or dressage horse with huge, expressive movement. She is 5 years old and 15.3hh. An exceptionally well-bred small competition horse, she was professionally started last year as a 4 year old. She is a very trainable, intelligent mare who is oozing presence and ability.
She hacks alone and in company. She is extremely bold, nothing fazes her, and she is super under saddle. In her arena work, she is showing so much potential for dressage; her paces are beautiful. She has been popped over a few fences, but she hasn't been rushed in any way.
She is a wonderful, beautiful young horse for someone to really crack on with and have a lot of fun.

Quality competition sort. He has a Sports Horse GB Passport. He is 9 years old, by Wish Upon a Star, and stands 16.2hh. He has a substantial build with plenty of bone and a big, deep body. He rides beautifully, is responsive, and loves to jump, although he does need leg on into his first fence. He has jumped 80-90 with scope to go much bigger. He has been bold and brave cross country, only been twice, and is never strong or silly.
He would make a lovely all-rounder or grass roots horse. He is wonderful to deal with on the ground, kind, genuine, and absolutely loves a cuddle. He is happy living in or out, on his own or in company. He hacks out alone and in company, never strong or silly, but can have the odd spin occasionally.
He is easy to catch, load, and travel. He has manners to burn, is snaffle mouthed, and has no vices. He is just a straightforward, lovely horse who deserves his own loving person to adore him. There is some minor vet history. Please, no time wasters; only serious buyers.
