My 16-year-old daughter Olivia is looking for a 15hh+ horse to take with her to Hartpury College in September. She currently owns a 14.2hh Connemara mare who, sadly, injured a ligament last autumn, so it wouldn’t be fair to take her.

Olivia is a capable and caring rider. She is 5’ 2” and weighs under 8 stone. She previously shared a Welsh mare, took her to shows, had plenty of lessons, rode solo on hacks, and did lots of flatwork schooling. While her main passion is show jumping, she also enjoys flatwork, hacking, and spoiling her horses with plenty of love and attention. At Hartpury, she’ll be studying equine management, working with horses on site, and making the most of the amazing facilities and guidance from top instructors.

We’re hoping to find a horse to bring into the family and treat as our own—ideally for the next couple of years or longer. We’re after something 15hh or bigger, reasonably sensible, though a bit of character is no problem. It’ll need to be happy in a busy yard and capable of travelling, as we’re based in the New Forest (Christchurch) and Hartpury is a few hours away. Olivia would also love to go on fun rides and XC hires with friends now and then.

If close by, Olivia could care for the horse at its current yard for the summer, or we can move it close to us in the New Forest.

If you think you might have the right horse for us, please get in touch on 07920 194061.
