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.

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.

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.

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.

Charlie is a 17.2hh, 5 year old registered Thoroughbred gelding. Charlie is s big gentle giant, both to handle and ride.
My son is 6 years old and can brush him and walk underneath him, he is such a gentle boy. He is as close to bomb proof on the roads as you can get. He has previously ptp, but wasn't good enough due to his laid back attitude.
An ideal confidence giver as he hacks out alone or in company. Good home wanted.

Harry is a big gentle giant. He has just retired from racing and looking for a new career.
He is 100% to do anything with. Perfect in traffic having trained on country roads seeing lorries and tractors, etc. Also worked in forestry and common land. He is not bothered by wild horses.
He would make the perfect ride and drive, preferring to trot and canter over his natural pace.

16hh, 4 year old Irish cob gelding. I am looking for a quick sale due to moving away in September and can't afford to take all of them. Hunted in Ireland, done beach rides, arena hires, hacks alone or in company in front or behind, pops a jump nicely not phased by fillers. Excellent in traffic, hacks alone or in company, good for farrier, goes past livestock.
Super fun all rounder. Still green in the school but easy and just needs a confident rider. He has been known to do a happy buck, but nothing nasty. He has had multiple different riders of different levels and everyone adores him. Very straightforward ride, more woah than go, but will step up a gear if asked. Very sweet on the ground, will stayed tied up all day if you wanted him to. Loads and travels well. Good for the farrier, recently had dentist.
He does have a blemish on his nose, a bump from when he was younger and is now just hard cartilage, doesn't cause him any issues and vet has cleared this, causes no pain at all, if that doesn't bother you then you have a seriously good cob on your hands. Please don't ask for 100 videos. No novices.
