1. ‘Outstanding prospect’
Height: 16.1hh
Age: six
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Fabian’ has lightly but very successfully competed BS accumulating 297 points. He has qualified for the 2016 newcomer and foxhunter regional finals and has been very consistent winning two newcomers classes and was recently third in a foxhunter. He also came third in the prestigious Millstreet five-year-old final in Ireland (1.35m jump off). He has excellent bloodlines and is half brother to Olympic showjumper Sam Sam. He is ultra careful, easy to ride, very kind natured, sensible and a real pleasure to own.”
2. ‘Serious eventer’
Height: 16.3hh
Age: 11
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “A very sad and heartbreaking decision to sell a true family horse. He has taken the family double clear round BE100s. He has also competed in junior trials in 2015, jumping consistent double clears at intermediate level plus he was clear at Floors CIC2* and jumped a double clear around Barbury CIC2*. Jumped clear around a very testing advanced at Allerton Park later on in the season. He would easily go three-star and is the easiest, straightest ride across country but would easily have enough scope to go showjumping. Good to do in all ways.”
3. ‘Superb big track schoolmaster’
Height: 145cm
Age: 15
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Mister Seamus’ has been one of the most consistent ponies on the circuit for the past few years. He won the British Novice final in 2009, won newcomer second rounds in 2015, won foxhunter second rounds in 2015, won the JC final at POYS in 2015 and competed at HOYS in the newcomer, foxhunter and leading pony showjumper finals in 2015. He has taken his current rider from newcomer to pony showjumper tracks in 18 months. He has a big stride and never struggles against the full up 148cm ponies, he has also been competed in seniors, jumping clear to senior foxhunter. Super to hack out alone or in company, great in traffic, no issues with clipping, loading, travels very well and stables happily. Lovely flatwork and would complete a nice dressage test and has evented to novice level with previous home. “
4. ‘Exceptional young horse’
Height: 16.3hh
Age: six
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “This stunning horse has been produced with his future in mind. He has the most fabulous ‘can-do’ attitude. He is a total gentleman with the most trainable temperament. He has three good, uphill, balanced paces, a soft mouth and is very obedient. He’s already showing plenty of scope for the medium paces, lateral work and can do clean changes both ways. Regularly winning with scores up to 75%. He has huge amounts of scope and ability over a fence, is careful and genuine with a good technique. He jumps out of his rhythm and is straight and honest to all fences. He has competed at a handful of one-day events at 90cm and 1m gaining education and strength and is jumping BS on a ticket. He was a also a BYEH finalist in 2015 showing his good attitude and quality. He has hunted this season with the Quorn with a small lady, proving bold but exceptionally mannerly. He is now ready to go on in any sphere. He is a very rare combination of a young horse with huge ability but trainability and good brain beyond his young years. A complete gent to have at home and to do in all ways.”
5. ‘Really looks after his rider’
Height: 16.2hh
Age: 10
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Frankly’ is a super horse with the potential to go further. He is consistent in the dressage, careful in the showjumping and is bold cross-country as well as being a family horse too. He is a joy to own and has been in the same home since he was a two-year-old.”

6. ‘The complete eventing package’
Height: 16.2hh
Age: eight
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “With movement to die for and looks that could kill — this horse is the complete eventing package. During 2015 season he took his amateur rider from BE100 to the Le Lion D’Angers Young Horse World Championships, picking up numerous wins and placings at novice and intermediate level along the way. He has also won the Corinthian Cup at Gatcombe and secured a top 10 placing at the BD champs. Usually in the lead after dressage this horse also loves the cross-country and showjumping phases and is very brave and quick across country. Currently holding 79 BE points this horse would suit either a keen junior looking to secure a team place or a professional wanting to strengthen their team.”
