Horses for sale from us
We sell and train half a dozen horses a year, some 'straight from the field first time ridden' - and others who have come to us from troubled pasts. Ocassionally we also have horses who have stayed with us and now need to move to a new owner.
If you have an interest in one of our horses we would encourage you to visit and ride them - but also to spend a little bit of time with them to get to know them. We also like to offer an 'after sales' service to ensure that your horse settles with you with help from us. It is a traumatic time moving a horse and we keep our horses in a herd environmnet with a pecking order which they decide for themselves. The loss of this can cause the horse to need an extra bit of tender loving care at first.
Alternativley you might have just bought the perfect pony or horse and are wondering why it is behaving so perculiar - in that case you might need the service of a horse whisperer.
Ownership of a horse should be an enjoyable experience for both owner and horse - a relationship comprising trust, harmony and happiness. Sadly though it is not always as straightforward as the printed word would have it seem and practical difficulties can manifest, things can and do go wrong. Although the cause is not always immediately evident, it is usually due to a breakdown in communication between horse and trainer/owner - each not understanding what the other requires and signals given out by each not being recognised and acted upon.It may also be simply that a person is not sufficiently experienced to train a young horse, is unsure how to deal with certain behavioural manifestations or lacks suitable skills in the saddle; perhaps it is a case of not wishing to be involved with certain aspects of training or suitable facilities are not to hand. Whatever the situation, however inexperienced or experienced someone considers themselves to be, everyone needs assistance at some time or other, so no-one should ever be afraid to seek help and advice. The sooner the slightest indications of change are acted upon, the easier the "problem" is resolve for both owner, trainer and horse.
WE believe that at the base of successful training lies the absolute necessity to have the ability to relate to a horse, to form a bond with him, so that he is at ease and relaxed. From this sound and solid foundation a successful 'working relationship' can be built. Training is not just about what happens outside of the stable or field; it comprises the bigger picture of every aspect of a horse's life. How can a horse be expected to give of its best or learn properly if there are causes of stress, etc. in its home life? Horses whether stabled or living out 24/7 are totally reliant on their owners. An owner's duty is to ensure the daily physical and psychological welfare of their horse.
