    Selling points: “This mare has jumped competitively up to 1.25m British Showjumping (BS), including winning at Scope Festival and has qualified for all major finals. She is fast against the clock and super careful. She isn’t spooky in any way and jumps open water and water trays etc. She has hunted with the Meynell and has also team chased, being fantastic across country — 100% to do.”

    Selling points: “This horse has tonnes of scope and has competed in all disciplines. She has plenty of natural ability and excels over fences.

She is snaffle mouthed at all times and is good to do.”

    Height: 16.1hh

    Age: eight

    Gender: gelding

    Selling points: “This horse is an amateur’s dream. He has jumped to 1.10m in Belgium with an amateur and has just affiliated in the UK. He has bags of scope and amazing technique, is quick and can turn on a sixpence. He will win many classes and is an easy snaffle mouth ride, with beautiful flatwork. He has also schooled over cross-country fences and is super brave. I can’t say enough great things about him.”
