1. ‘Grassroots superstar’
Height: 16hh
Age: six
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “This horse is a beautiful, flashy mover with a seriously scopey jump. Only started jumping in the past six months and has taken straight to it. Jumped double clear around two out of three BE90s and also showed serious scope round his first couple of BE100s. He is great across country, being incredibly honest and brave. Totally straight to skinnies and never looks at water, ditches or steps. He is a very natural cross-country horse and will jump whatever you put in front of him. He has more than enough ability to progress through the grades.”
2. ‘Would suit the whole family’
Height: 15.1hh
Age: four
Gender: mare
Selling points: “‘Milly’ is very sensible and has a laid back attitude towards her work. She has been on hound exercise with a 14-year-old girl and is fantastic with hounds. She has been autumn hunting with the York and Ainsty South, she stands quietly and is a lovely armchair ride. Milly has been to a show, jumping a double clear around a course of showjumps with fillers. She is very straightforward and loves to jump, showing great technique over a fence including hunt jumps, small hedges and has been cross-country schooled. She hacks out alone or in company, is snaffle-mouthed and doesn’t need to be ridden every day. She is a very easy, kind and gentle horse who is never mareish.”
3. ‘Horse of a lifetime’
Height: 16.2hh
Age: 12
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “This two-star eventing schoolmaster has an outstanding BE record. He is a stunning looking horse and is extremely flashy on the flat. He is 100% to do in every way and is a true gentleman at home and at events. He is ready to give someone some fun and would be a fantastic junior team horse.”
4. ‘Very mannerly hunter’
Height: 16.3hh
Age: nine
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Benny’ is a lovely, genuine horse that has hunted the past two seasons with the Berkeley. He has been hunted by both a man and woman, jumping hedges, ditches and rails, proving to be very bold across the country. This summer he has been doing a bit of everything and taking everything in his stride. He scored 68%+ in his first ever dressage test and also completed his first 90cm event, proving mature and keen. He has been cross-country schooling and showjumping proving not to be spooky jumping ditches, steps, fillers and water. Has a lovely powerful jump over a fence and is easy to hack alone or in company .”
5. ‘Star of the future’
Height: 16.1hh
Age: five
Gender: mare
Selling points: “‘Darna’ has been carefully and professionally produced, starting her eventing career at BE90 level, progressing to five-year-old BE and BYEH classes successfully. Bramham BYEH was her first show where she scored very high marks in conformation and suitability. She regularly leads her dressage section, scoring 19 at Cholomendy Castle. She is snaffle-mouthed and incredibly straightforward. Her movement is exceptional, with a scopey and bold jump both showjumping and cross-country. She will suit an amateur or professional looking to take a horse up the levels and be truly competitive.”
