👀 🏡 Willowsway Royal Rein

6 year old mare | approx. 15–15.1hh

By Whistle Jackets Kings Tribute out of Simply Rae

A lovely young mare who has proven herself to be a fantastic first-time mother, foaling easily and naturally with no issues and producing a beautiful filly foal earlier this year.

Available at foal’s weaning in September, with the option to be covered again by Willowsway Top Of The Rock or a stallion of the new owner’s choice.

Equally, she could go on to enjoy a ridden career once weaned. She has never been started, making her a true blank canvas for someone wanting to produce their own horse.

Easy to handle and do in all respects, with a kind temperament.

She does have a small lump on her jaw from an old field injury as a youngster, however this has never caused any issues and does not affect her in any way.

🏡 Offered only due to reducing numbers

Willowsway Private Party 💙🏡

7-year-old gelding | approx. 16.2hh | Warmblood/Sport Horse

Spider is a handsome, quality horse with the potential to develop into a lovely competition horse. He is in consistent work, schooling nicely on the flat, however is green for his age.

Out hacking, Spider is a pleasure, confident, relaxed and genuinely enjoys it. He is happy in traffic and takes everything in his stride. He would equally enjoy a life as a happy hacker, and would really benefit from a summer of hacking, fun rides and varied work to continue building his confidence under saddle.

In the arena, Spider can lack confidence and become tense, and if pushed too quickly he may feel overwhelmed. For this reason, he is not a novice ride and requires a calm, experienced and sympathetic rider who will give him time and reassurance.

Spider underwent kissing spine surgery last year and has made a full recovery.

On the ground, he is an absolute pleasure; kind, affectionate and easy to manage, good to handle, load and in all routine situations.

As a youngster, he was successfully shown in-hand, with wins and championships at Great Yorkshire Show, Aintree and Royal Cheshire.

🏡 A knowledgeable, confident home is essential for Spider to continue progressing

Sleep tight, beautiful Bellisimo 😇 💔

You came into our lives nearly 10 years ago, collected from a motorway service station with a story we’ll never fully know. We were told you were 8… but I remember saying on the way home, “she’s more like 16.” Turns out, you had many more years, and so much wisdom behind those eyes than we ever imagined.

A proper gypsy cob mare, with old-fashioned lines and the very best breeding, you were truly something special🥰

You gave us four beautiful foals, your legacy, your gift and then quietly stepped back, owing us absolutely nothing. You had already given us everything.

You were the cheekiest mare, never one to be caught unless it was Mum coming for you. The rest of us didn’t stand a chance, just a few muddy faceplants and you trotting off, no doubt very pleased with yourself. You kept us laughing, always 🙈😆

This last week, you’ve been surrounded by so much love. And today, you told us it was time. We listened. You went peacefully, with dignity, just as you deserved.

Thank you for everything, for your babies, your spirit, your stories we’ll never know, and the memories we’ll never forget.

We were so, so lucky to have you.

You will be missed more than words can say. ❤️
