Unnamed Roan Filly - Sold to play Polo near Reading
6 years old. Not very big (possibly small enough for pony racing?) but pictures don't do her justice. Sire won 20 races from 6f to 1 mile and dam won 7 races over 5f, 6f and 7f. She is a nice looking filly. Broken professionally as a two year old and turned away ever since through no fault of her own. Always carries a lot of condition without needing much grub. Her full sister was useless and we've just never got around to doing anything with her. Wasted stood in field and should be doing a job by now. We can catch her and trim feet etc in the field no problem and she's loaded and travelled ok the couple of times we've moved her to different field etc. I spoke to the lady that broke her as I couldn't remember what she was like and she said she wasn't bad, put her back up a bit but once she got into her she was ok. She did have a little canter round the gallop but never got any further than hack cantering.

Unbroken/Un-named Grey Gelding - SOLD to Susan from County Durham
3 year old, lovely big horse, full up 16.2hh. No reason he won't be a racehorse as totally untried but is bred to go jumping and we are a flat race yard. Eyecatching enough to make a show horse. We have done very little with him through no fault of his own - just feed and turn him out. He's good to muck out and good with the farrier etc. He's been sensible to load and travel the only time we moved him to a different pasture. We took the photos of him this morning (11th November) in the the pit which has an electric fence "runway" around the outside. He sensibly trotted around the outside for his photos taken and even popped a small pole. As you can see he has a lovely, long, extravagant stride.

Popped a cross pole and is really genuine. She ran 20 times as a 2 and 3 year old winning 4, 2nd once and 3rd 5 times.

Watermill - Sold to Sharon from near Sheffield
Watermill, better known as Walter, is looking for a good home after not making the grade as a race horse. 6 years old, 16.2hh approx, dark bay gelding. Walter would go straight into a job as a hack or wouldn't need much work before he would do a low level dressage test or show class. He has a long floaty stride, drops nicely into a shape when asked and is eligible for the "Retraining of Racehorses" classes which are very popular. He is exceptionally quiet ride for a thoroughbred, he doesn't buck, rear, nap or bolt. Not riding him for a few months then getting on him again is never a problem and he will quite happily canter around a big open stubble field without wanting to gallop off (no wonder he didn't make a racehorse!). He will go out in company or alone and had no problems leading the young horses on the gallop and letting them hang into and bump him. He hasn't been used to lead a kids pony from before but I imagine he would do that job nicely. Walter raced 9 times in total on the flat. Unfortunately he wasn't fast enough but because he was such a good ride we decided to keep him to lead the yearlings with, hunt and run in point to points. He ran in 7 point to points earlier this year and last raced in May where he finished with a hind leg injury. He has been given loads of time to recover and is now being ridden again and is totally sound. He is used to being turned out with other horses, he is used to dogs, and electric fencing. At our yard we don't ride on the road much but he is quiet with all farm type traffic, tractors and trailers, around the yard and was good with the traffic when hunted with the York and Ainsty (South). He has a full Weatherbys passport, is microchipped and vaccinated and wormed up to date. He is a very good eater and not fussy or picky. He is good to catch and is good to load, travel, groom, clip etc. He has seen flags, banners, heard loudspeakers etc at the races and travelled up and down the country. He is a snaffle mouth and does not kick, bite, crib bite or wind suck. He will box walk when out of his routine - e.g if he was stabled next to a friend and the friend got turned out and he had to stay in he would box walk. The vet advised at the time of the hind leg injury that jumping very big fences and very fast work may put it under pressure again.
