Very levelled headed for his age, Troy is a steady, safe ride. Can occassionally give a little buck for fun, but not unseating. Excellent to hack alone and in company. Snaffle mouth.
Low milage so far, but basic schooling established and he is a quick learner. Absolutely loves to jump with superb technique and will go of any stride. Happily jumping 2'9" with scope to go further.

Fun allrounder/ Dressage
Geeza is a very smart 16.1hh thoroughbred gelding 11 years. He has flashy, balanced paces, a very soft snaffle mouth and is very light to the leg. He is a forward, lively ride but is completely safe and controllable and very fun to ride. Can spook a little, but never bucks, rears or anything nasty. Excellent to hack alone and in company. Suit confident rider who likes a slightly fizzy horse, too energetic for a complete Novice.
Geeza was on loan to a teenager and conpeted all pony club activities. He has been turned away for a couple of months and is now back in work and ready for a new home. Honest jump but does need a little more work on technique as does try to rush a little. Will excel at riding club level competitions and Intro level eventing and has definite potential to do very well dressage with a bit more schooling.
Very affectionate nature, easy to do and no vices.
SOLD £3000.

Dressage/Show Jumping/ Show Potential
Very pretty 15.1-2hh approx Bay branded Wamblood mare 11 years. Very low milage, Maddie has been largely used as a hack since imported from Germany 2 years ago.

Superb Young Competition Horse
Very Handsome 16.2 hh warmblood gelding 4 years by Sir Isaac.
Stunning paces with big canter, elevated trot and bold jump. Aragon was backed just before Christmas and has proved to be the easiest youngster; he has never said no to anything asked of him. Very calm, easy going temperament and not spooky whilst he still has the wow factor. Wonderful rhythm in is trot and canter makes this the easiest horse to take to a fence. Will jump of any stride and never says no. Happily jumping 1.10m with scope to go much higher, this horse is a top show jump prospect
Excellent to hack alone and in company and has jumped around intro cross country fences and been into water proving very bold and loves it. Competed unaffiliated dressage, jumping and ODE behaving perfectly. Flew round the Stockland Lovell PAVO Intro in July despite terrible conditions (see photo gallery). Since came second at Open Unaffiliated ODE with dressage score 66.5%. Snaffle mouth all phases
Real attention seeker who knows he is the best, Aragon is now ready for more serious work and to start his competitive career. So mature for his age he will be a great contender for young horse classes in all disciplines. Good enough for professional but would suit ambitious amateur as he is so easy to do.
No vices and good to shoe, box, catch etc. Sad sale by breeder. A horse of a lifetime for some lucky person or alternatively Isobel would love to continue to produce him for a new owner.

Poppy- Quality Dressage/Show jump/Event Potential
Absolutely Beautiful 15.3hh bright bay mare rising 7 years. Warmblood X TB by Libro
Backed as a 5 year old Poppy has been bought on slowly. She has lovely balanced paces, a natural outline and a huge scopey, careful jump. She started small competitions in 2006 and is now ready for a experienced rider to take further. Lovely, friendly personnality, but not for novice rider as can need some perseverance to get the best from this very talented mare.
Due to financial considerations and lack of time Poppy was turned away for the first half of 2007. She has come back into work very easily and is eager to progress. Huge potential in any sphere in particular jumping. Would also make quality brood mare.
Lack of funds forces urgent sad sale by breeder hence offered at half her true value

Testimonial from Rebel's Owner
Mirah Kilgobben Rebel – a stunning looking supremely talented fully papered (and attituded) connemara who grew too big to be a pony! My daughter was too poorly to ride him and my son not quite ready for him so I had to find something for him to do for 2006 – in the hopes that my son would be ready for him in 2007.
I found Isobel by chance through an appealing advertisement – checked her record and references and without even meeting her had Rebel delivered to her yard in January 2006. I could not have made a better decision.
Isobel has worked extremely hard with Rebel on the flat work which was (and is) his weakest phase, but from January until the end of the season she has persevered and her efforts were rewarded with a magnificent test at 2 star level at Weston Park in October.
Isobel has kept in constant touch about Rebel, his health and his progress and I have followed her recommendations on what level he should be doing – and she has always been right; and she has taken it slowly – not wishing to push herself or the horse until she felt it was the right time to notch up a level.
I would not hesitate to send another horse to her for bringing on, re-educating or just competing and I shall hope to seek her guidance and assistance in finding a horse for my son as we have now sold Rebel.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Isobel to an owner or prospective purchaser, she has always been completely straightforward with me and it has been a delight (and a rather refreshing change in the equestrian world) to deal with someone like this. I would be more than happy to speak to anyone to confirm everything I have said.

Kir Royal - A Real Winner
Very pretty 15.3hh chesnut mare, 6 years. Very impressive on the flat with absolutely stunning paces and works easily in an outline. Bold, very careful jump and straight forward and clever cross country.
Whilst still quite inexperienced this mare has WON both BE Intro events entered; the first with Austin O'Connor in April where she was HC and the second with me when I had only ridden her for two weeks previously. Both time she finished on a very good dressage score. I don't think this horse could do a bad test, judges adore her.
With some more milage with a comptent rider, this lovely mare will Prenovice by the end of the season and scope to go novice next year and she will always be vying for first place!

Very pretty 15.3- 16hh TB liver chestnut mare rising 10 years. Forward ride with elegant balanced paces and snaffle mouth. Bold, clean and clever jumper who will take off on any stride and really enjoys it. Never stops and jumps water, ditches etc.
This lovely mare was taken out of racing a few years ago after 3 starts over hurdles. She is currently competing dressage, show jumping and cross country successfully. Dressage scores upto 76% and show jumping 1.05m with scope to go further. Would excel RC/PC competitions and ready to affiliate dressage and BSJA. Not suitable for complete novice.
Absolutely 100% hack, box, shoe, clip, catch etc. Very easy mare to do. Her only vice is that she can windsuck occassionally in the stable without a collar. However she is very happy to wear a collar and this stops this. Very clean limbs and she passed 5 stage vetting at the beginning of February.

New Owner Geeta Verrell has now had Indie a couple of months and has been thrilled with her:
'I purchased Indie from Isobel at South West Eventing August 05. The trial facilities were fantastic and Isobel was very helpful. Indie has proved
exactly as described and Isobel had
obviously put considerable time in training her. She is a lovely mare and a great jumper. Already we have been placed 2nd in a British Novice and 5th in out first one day event. Just last weekend she went brilliantly at Pontispool Hunter Trial. I would definiteley recommend South West Eventing for anyone looking for a genuine, well schooled horse at a sensible price.'

TOP DRESSAGE PROSPECT |
Stunning dark grey gelding 16.3hh 5 yrs bred for the job by Don Primaire (Donnerhall). Dam is the same as that of Intermediare horse Donnerblack
Exceptional paces & temperament. Oozes quality.
Lightly competed. Qualified International Shearwater Championships 2005 and placed Novice, working elementary at home.
Professionally produced, Oscar has the potential to go all the way to Grand Prix and is a definite prospect for the Nationals.
Also would suit amateur as he is exceptionally easy to ride and is completely safe and sensible schooling, hacking and at shows. He behaves more like an eight year old and always tries to please. Happily works on the gallops alone and in company and has started jumping proving bold and careful.
Very affectionate nature and 100% in all ways to do. No vices and clean limbs. A real joy to ride and own. Only for sale as owner at University and giving up riding.
Oscar is a very mild shiverer only evident when picking up his back legs he shakes them very slightly. It does not affect him in any way and he is easy to shoe. The condition has not deteriorated at all since he was imported from Holland as a 3 year old when it was not picked up by the vetting as it is so slight. Our vet is quite confident that it is unlikely to affect him at all in his working life and so he is an exciting opportunity for someone with more limited funds to purchase a real quality horse who would normally sell at £20,000 plus.
Otherwise Oscar is the healthiest horse with no vices and clean limbs.
A good, long term home a priority.
SOLD.

Dowlands Juniper
Stunning 16.2hh 3/4 Trakehner Chesnut Gelding rising 5 years. Holmgrove bred on the sire line with Maximillian and Dallas on the dam side.
Broken the end of last year Jay is showing real potential both on the flat and over fences. He is proving very trainable and has progressed very quickly working naturally in an outline and behaved impeccably at his first dressage show. Huge jump and lovely adjustable canter. Now jumping 3-3'3" courses easily including water trays, walls etc and going to small shows.
He is sure to be succesful in dressage, show jumping or eventing and due to his easy going temperament, would be suitable for a competitive amateur or professional. He is 100% box, shoe, clip etc and has no vices or blemishes. He is a very affectionate and friendly horse who wants to please.
Isobel has produced Jay and would love to have the oppotunity to take him further and can offer part or full ownership at a very reasonable price on the provision she continues training and competing him. However due to financial circumstances he is available for outright sale to the right home.
