Rosie 💚
A lovely 9-year-old mare standing at 16hh, Rosie was unraced and has been happily retired for over three years.
Rose was being retrained to saddle and although she was quiet to ride and took to it very well, she started to show some discomfort when being ridden.

X-rays were taken in August 2026 and an abnormally shaped navicular in the front right foot was diagnosed.

Rosie shows no lameness at any other time.

She is to be rehomed as a great companion for someone who doesn’t want to ride but would enjoy having a horse around. She is the biggest character, has so much personality and is very entertaining and amusing.

Being a responsive and sensitive horse, it would be lovely for her to find someone who wanted a horse for liberty or natural horsemanship.
All x-rays and vet reports are available.

**UPDATE - Rehomed!**

💚🖤 Meet Sonny! 🐴

This 7-year-old, 16.1hh brown Standardbred gelding is calm, easy to handle and has lovely ground manners. He retired completely sound due to his owner downscaling.

Sonny hasn’t been ridden yet and is looking for someone with experience to guide his next chapter.

**UPDATE - REHOMED! **

🚨 NEW HORSE ALERT 💚🖤🐴

Will is a 6-year-old, 15.1hh bay/brown Standardbred looking for a new home beyond racing. Described by his connections as quiet and calm, he has very good ground manners, no known vices and has been relaxed around children and trucks.

Will hasn’t been ridden and will need someone with experience to guide his transition to life under saddle.

His connections advise that he has bled once, when asked to work at top speed. A slower-paced life away from racing will suit him well.
