A private bidding house for horses.
One horse. One window. 24, 48 or 72 hours. Each lot is vetted, photographed and filmed at the yard, then opened to the room. The hammer falls when the clock runs out.
"A horse is not a listing. The Manor opens the gate for a fixed window, lets the right bidders into the room, and closes it when the clock is done."
How The Manor Works
For urgent lots — sound horses with somewhere to be.
Time enough to scope, vet on video, and consult.

- Bloodline
- Galileo × Pivotal
Group-placed at four, sound and ready to step up to Listed company.
- The horse
- Bred at a private Newmarket stud and broken in by the same lads who handle the yard's Group horses, Sterling has worked patiently through the ranks. He won at Yarmouth as a three-year-old and finished a creditable third in a Listed at Goodwood last summer. The owner is reducing string numbers — nothing else has changed.
- Pedigree
- By Galileo out of a Pivotal mare; half-brother to a Listed winner in France. Black-type on the second dam.
- Training
- Currently in steady work with Sir Mark's second yard. Hacks alone, schools through the start gates, no quirks reported by his rider.
- Competition record
- 1 win, 4 placings from 9 starts. Best Racing Post Rating 108. Handicap mark 102.
- Temperament
- Honest, generous, takes his work seriously. Travels well, eats up after a race.
- Vet history
- X-rays and scope clear at last 5-stage in March. No history of lameness or wind surgery.

Confirmed 1.40m, careful and brave — small-tour ready, scope for more.
- The horse
- Produced from a four-year-old by the same rider, Crown has been brought up the German national circuit with patience. Double-clear at Hagen and Münster CSI2* this season, never on the floor at home. The seller is concentrating his string on a younger horse for the U25 tour.
- Pedigree
- Cornet Obolensky × Heartbreaker × Lord. Damline produced two 1.55m horses in Belgium.
- Training
- Schooled in flatwork to medium level. Jumps a careful round; turns left and right; rideable to a long or short distance.
- Competition record
- 12 international placings at 1.30–1.40m. Two CSI2* GP finals in 2025.

- The horse
- Bred at a respected Andalusian stud and produced by a former Spanish team rider, Sol is one of the most rideable PREs to come through the yard in years. He has been shown lightly to keep his head, and is now ready for an amateur or small-tour rider who wants a horse with presence.
- Pedigree
- Invasor × Fuego XII. Sire line known for cadence and rideability; dam line for trainability.
- Training
- All lateral work, half-pass at trot and canter, confirmed flying changes single and two-time, one-time on the way. Piaffe in-hand.
- Competition record
- Won PSG at Jerez 2024, three regional wins at Inter I level in 2025.

- The horse
- Produced from a five-year-old by his current rider, Beacon has been campaigned thoughtfully through the BE grades. Completed his first CCI4*-S at Blenheim this autumn inside the time across country with two rails down. The rider is going to university and the yard is downsizing.
- Pedigree

Made high-goal pony — handy, quick to the ball, plays anywhere in the order.
- The horse
- Bred and made at a Pilar haras with La Dolfina bloodlines, Sovereign has played the Argentine high-goal as a string pony for two seasons. She is sold as the patron is rebuilding his English string ahead of the UK summer.
- Pedigree

- Pedigree
- Florestan I × Donnerhall. Dam was an S-level horse in Germany before being exported.

- Competition record
- 70%+ at national PSG and Inter I. Two international starts at Inter II.
