I think thoroughbreds are the most underrated breed in our sport. I have found now that I work mostly with them that they are truely the most forgiving, understanding, respectful and versatile breed out there.

My personal TB Bonnie (Kilby Park Bonfires Glow) came to me at 4 years old and 12 months off the track, she is now 5 and has competed successfully in eventing, showjumping and dressage. She is beautiful and even tempered and my heart and soul.

Lady is 3, she didn’t make it in racing never actually raced or trialed and was sacked after only a few months as she was far far to slow. She is an ordinary and over looked Thoroughbred. She struggled to find a new home until Katelyn decided she needed a best friend someone slow and kind. Being 3 we weren’t sure she’d suit Kate’s needs as she was very young and Kate is only just getting back into riding. We tried her anyway and she proved to be the slowest and safest horse and is now Kate’s best friend and trail partner. 

We underestimate the breed so much, passing them as hot and ill minded forgetting that they are full of hot feed on the track and a bred to run, they need time to settle into their new lives off the track. We can’t expect them to be perfect straightaway. It’s not fair. I have had many thoroughbreds now personally and through my retraining and I have found that with a little time, a bit of patience and a kind hand they are the best partners one could ever find and sometimes you just have to take a chance in order to find your new best mate. While some are not suited to everyone I still believe they are a great and misunderstood breed.

Congratulations Kate on finding you partner in crime!

Trixie is a beautiful and talented 15.2 1/2 hands 5yo bay TB mare. Please don’t let the mare or thoroughbred stereotype fool you. This mare is one of the kind.

A sweet and sensible girl who just wants to please you. A quick learner too! She has a beautiful natural frame and 3 stunning look at me paces.

Good to c/f/t/t/s/c etc. great alone or in company! Suit a competitive teen/adult looking for their need best friend.

Trixie has been to PC and off property lessons and was a star! Nothing seems to rattle or faze her.

She is 3 months off the track and had a 4 week spell before coming back into work.
She is young and still learning her balance, with constant work and learning she will develop her balance quickly.

Trix hasn’t jumped under saddle yet as I would like to establish a solid foundation of flat work before she starts jumping, but I see huge amounts of potential in this lovely little girl for any discipline from eventing to showing.

Beautiful bay thoroughbred mare. Recently retired sound and has had a 3-4 week spell.
She is a stunning well put together mare, striking presence and a look at me attitude. Would suit a showing/dressage home but no reason she wouldn’t make a lovely all rounder in the right hands.
Her jockeys and track riders loved her and said she was a nice and easy ride coming onto the bit well.
Easy to rug, catch, shoe, float ect.
Currently still spelling but is available to the best of homes. She is to come into work shortly to commence her retraining and with this price will rise.

**EDIT 14/5/24** has now had 2 rides since retiring and was flawless. Soft to contact and responsive and reliable transitions. She will make a top dressage or eventing horse!

Bonnie had her final Horse Trails qualifier over the weekend. It was a happy result for sure! This horse is a dream. Placing 7th after a lovely dressage, followed by a lovely clear Showjumping round to bump us to 6th and a final clear and fast cross country let us hold onto our 6th placing! She is such a lovely mare and I am lucky to have her on the team 🤍

Maybe I have a thing for mares 🤔 we welcome “Harmony” into the family, a beautiful 15.1 hand TB x QH. Starting to develop the best team of horses. Bonnie also having some stunning lessons after having 2 weeks off, I pulled her out of the paddock and took her all the way to AWEC and had some lessons, she was incredible. Not bad for a 4yo OTTB 😊🤍
