ANDANTE IS A 15.3 hh BAY, WARMBLOOD MARE

She is a talented all rounder, with a lovely temperament. She started jumping recently, jumping consistent double clears in a handful of outings with a novice rider. She was placed during 2 days of clear rounds on her first visit to Cricklands SJ Championships in Wales last August. She has competed Prelim and Novice dressage, placed at Cricklands Winter League Finals and Dressage Championships of GB, qualified for Pet Plan Area Festival. She has schooled cross country and loved it. She is ready to go on and do more: ideal Riding Club or PC horse for someone who wants a horse that has ability but does not hot up.  Late starter so very low mileage – began work at 8 and jumping at 12.  She is a well mannered hack - alone or in company, and will go first or last.  She is sweet natured, loves people, very easy to do, good to box, clip, shoe, etc, no vices and a very good doer. She can be turned out alone or in company.  Five star knowledgeable home wanted for this much loved mare. £4,500. For more information and photos contact Anne Williams on 01489860591 or eannewilliams@btinternet.com (23/1/12)

PRINCE is a 13 yr old CHESTNUT GELDING

He is Welsh x Arab and stands at 13.1 hh. Prince is looking for a loving home because we are emigrating. He is a wonderful pony with a lovely nature, but not a first pony or suitable for smaller children due to being quite forward going. Ideally his perfect jockey would be a teenager or smaller adult. He thoroughly enjoys competing and loves to jump. He is a perfect hack and is completely bombproof in traffic.   The right home for Prince is the most important thing to us so we are open to offers on price. He comes complete with all tack including a brand new Wintec saddle.  Click here for photo.
