- For Sale – Kind, Experienced Schoolmaster 15.3hh Thoroughbred Gelding (ROR) 🐴
Due to a change in career and lack of time, we are sadly offering our beloved Ben for sale. With my daughter now focusing on competitive riding, I need to devote what time I have to supporting her journey—making this a very difficult and heartfelt decision for our whole family.
Ben is a 15-year-old, 15.3hh TB gelding (ROR eligible) with a gentle nature and a willing heart. He has been a joy to own—kind, safe, and full of personality. Vaccinations, wormed and dental all up to date.
🔹 Disciplines: Primarily done flatwork and hacking with us, but Ben is a quick learner and has done show jumping and XC in his previous home. More videos available.
🔹 Temperament: Excellent manners both in the field and on the ground. He’s a pleasure to handle and has been a trusted partner in and out of the saddle.
🔹 Hacking: Confident to hack both alone and in company.
🔹 Routine: Lives out 24/7 currently, with the occasional stabling during the day when it's hot. He must have company both in the field and stable—as is typical of ex-racers, he does not enjoy being alone. He has a strong bond with his current 12.2hh stable mate.
🔹 Extras: fully Shod, Comes with full tack and a full wardrobe of rugs.
🔹 Home Requirements: Needs a knowledgeable, kind home specifically having owned a TB previously and where his need for companionship is respected. He must be first out and last in, but he is otherwise low maintenance and adaptable as long as he has friends nearby.
📍 Located Northamptonshire
Please—no time wasters. This is a much-loved family horse and his next home must be the right one. Viewings welcome to the right people. Homes will be vetted and references may be required.
