Dragon Driving
Professor is a handsome 16hh, 10-year-old registered Standardbred who has recently retired from a successful harness racing career with us after many enjoyable years on the track. We are now looking for his forever ridden home. I personally broke him to ride, and he has been an absolute pleasure from day one. He is a true gentleman with a fantastic temperament, eager to please and genuinely enjoys his work.
Professor is just as sensible and well-mannered in company as he is on his own. He is forward yet reliable, and about as close to bombproof as a horse can be. Under saddle, he has never paced for me, and when racing he only paced when hobbled, making him a straightforward and enjoyable ride.
This is an incredibly sad sale, but with other young horses coming into racing, I simply cannot give him the time and attention he deserves to carry on his ridden career. A genuine 5* home is essential for this very special boy. Inc a saddle company saddle I've just had fitted to him.

Ride and drive gelding pacer 15.1hh, 18 years old but still goes like a 4 year old. I've owned him for 10 years, he's been on all the drives nothing bothers him and he's a very safe horse.
My kids drive him he'll do 5mph or 30mph or jog away quietly. My 11 year old daughter rides him and has just ridden him all over Appleby.
I'm only selling him as I'm going through a divorce and have nowhere to keep him. He'll only be sold to a good home. I've got loads of photos and videos of him I can send over on WhatsApp. No swaps or stupid offers.

15.1hh, 9 year old part bred cob gelding. Versace is a lovely 9-year-old part bred cob gelding looking for his next home. He's a kind lad with plenty to offer and would suit someone wanting a fun all-rounder.
He is ride and drive. He's done more driving than riding. He's been successfully shown in hand and has been out a few times ridden showing. He isn't a novice ride purely because he's not highly schooled, so he needs a confident rider to continue bringing him on and getting the best from him. That said, he's not silly or nasty at all.
A genuine horse with a lot of potential in the right hands. Sad sale so please no time wasters. Message for more information, videos or to arrange a viewing.

15.2hh Welsh x cob, ridden gelding 9 years old. Sid is a cracking lad who is bombproof hacking alone & in company. He was sent off for schooling age 5 so can go nicely if worked back up to this, currently rusty as he's been a hacking horse for the last few years. He's got a nice little jump on him & will happily pop a few little jumps. He would probably go higher with confidence & time.
Sid has no past health issues that we are aware of & is up to date with farrier & dentist. He was driven for a few months hence being shod all round but he really wouldn't need this if he was just being ridden. Sid must go to a gelding home only, unfortunately Sid was cut a little later in life, around age 4 which does mean he has been known to get attached to mares which needs to him being riggy.
We have two mare ponies who have come in & out of season while owning Sid & he's shown no signs of any issues however, we have been told that he has jumped fences to get back to a mare in heat.
