Welcome to Waverly Equestrian Centre
Welcome to Waverley, the hub of my hunting business
for the last ten years and the birth place of many of
the horses here. Our breeding programme has run
very successfully over the last decade and now, when
I have reached the stage where I would like to reduce
my work commitments, I find we have too many
wonderful horses to give all of them the attention they
deserve. I hope today will allow me to find appreciative
new owners for this special collection of family friends.
In recent years the summers at Waverley have been
busy hosting equestrian camps for foreign teenagers.
This last summer has been – like the previous 4 or 5 –
filled with excited youngsters (from 12 – 22) falling in
love with the horses which take them over a plethora
of cross-country fences and show-jumps both here
at Waverley and at our XC training field. We have
constructed obstacles specifically to teach our young
horses and riders to cope with different terrains and to
provide decent challenges for the fox-hunting clinics
Aidan O’Connell holds here every autumn*. We also
do Cavalry exercises with the students which demand
much of the same skills as dressage, and we go on
long hacks across the countryside. As a result, the
horses are very versatile and many are experienced
hunters already. All the horses that have played polo
can also jump well, and having a polo-handy horse out
hunting or eventing is definitely an extra bonus.
Some of the fences I have designed are deliberately
‘trappy’ and demand careful attention in all weathers.
Some are constructed to act as both drop fences and
up-hill challenges, and some (the tall and the wide) are
just straight-forward kick-on fences. They range from
2’ to 4’ and from skinny to broad. There is a bounce,
a corner, a bank, combinations of all kinds, a sunken
road, ditches for all levels and a river to wade along and
make all the kids squeal!
In the horse descriptions you will find mention of what
the horses have accomplished during these past few
months. Prior to this summer, many of the horses had
not done as much as they should have according to
their ages – this is my fault, not theirs. The advantage
of their being behind in experience is that they are
strong in heart, lungs and legs having been allowed
to grow without early hardships. They are now ready
to build upon their recent achievements. All potential
buyers are welcome to come and ride the horses
before the sale.
With best wishes to all, from Diana Jack.
* Aidan’s next clinic is scheduled for 23rd and 24th
October. To book a place for you and your horse please
ring me on 07778 333433. I take it every year – it helps
correct my bad habits (at least until Christmas!) and
keep me in the saddle more often than not. Hunting is a
dangerous pastime, as we all know, and this clinic is an
excellent survival tool which I really recommend.
Auctioneers Introduction
Kidson-Trigg Auctioneers are extremely proud and
honoured to have been chosen to conduct the
Waverley Equestrian Centre Dispersal Sale on behalf
of Diana Jack.
Diana started her hunter hireling business in 1984.
Before the ban, visitors came from all over the world
to experience fox-hunting from The Belvoir to The
Beaufort, The Wynstay to Woodland Pytchley with
clients from over 20 different countries.
Originally designed for visitors from over-seas, it soon
became apparent that there was also a domestic
market for Diana’s horses and over the years they
have travelled to more than fifty packs of hounds and
built up a considerable reputation. She has never liked
to refer to her horses as ‘hirelings’ as that word always
makes people think of animals with hard mouths and a
lack of personality. The horses at Waverley are not like
that, most of them are home-bred and all are homemade. They are members of the family.
The Polo was started in 1988 on the back of the
hunting business to provide work for the staff and
use of the facilities during the summer months,
and is now run at Offcurch Bury by Diana’s
Daughter Tessa Johnson and Grant Collett (www.
offchurchburypoloclub.co.uk). Horses bred for polo
here are very versatile as they also jump and go
hunting. One of England’s top polo players used to
field master with The Beaufort on his polo ponies
because, he said, teaching them to jump put them
back on their hocks and developed the muscles
needed for the quick stops and turns of polo. This
has proved to be the case at Waverley and the horses
seem to enjoy the change of sport as much as the
riders.
Diana feels the time has come to “downsize” her
business, and reduce her work commitments, while
continuing to hunt and hire her ‘old faithfuls’ on a
much reduced scale.
This sale is a unique opportunity to benefit from the
love and hard work which has been invested in the
horses at Waverley. It is hoped that they will find new
homes where they will be owned with the same degree
of pride and affection as they deservedly have here.

THE LOTS:
The Waverley Equestrian Centre Auction Sale
Please note that all the made horses are good to box, clip and shoe and are not traffic shy in any way. They hack
out alone or in company. The youngsters all have their feet trimmed regularly and have been well-handled and
transported from stable-yard to grazing fields and back frequently. All have been wormed as good practice dictates.
LOT 1: Harmonica 2004 Homebred (Chesapeake/Harmony)
6 year old thoroughbred cross bay mare, 15.3hh. Snaffle mouth with a wonderful jump. This little mare could go far
in the eventing world. She hunted regularly last season and has shown herself to be both bold and athletic. During
the summer she has done all the fences and ditches without hesitating and is careful and efficient over show-jumps.
A pretty horse who could go all the way.
LOT 2: Twizel born in 2003 Homebred (Lightening/Chesapeake)
7 year old, 16hh, thoroughbred, bay mare. Twizel is still learning her job but is going well. She needs experience,
but seems eager to learn and has a lovely personality. Looking at her parentage, it is not surprising that she is very
fast. She has been a favourite amongst the better riders this summer and has jumped all the cross-country fences
and show-jumps with enthusiasm. She is very light in the mouth (happy-mouth snaffle), so needs a competent rider
to keep her that way.
LOT 3: Etonia born in 2004 Homebred (Juno/Chesapeake)
6 year old, 16.(1)hh, thoroughbred-cross, dark bay mare. Etonia is well mannered, snaffle-mouth, and eager to
expand her experience across country. She can make a good shape and there is no reason she couldn’t learn
dressage to match her jumping abilities. Her mother, Juno, was a superb hunter who gave many seasons of steady
hunting without fault, Etonia could do the same and/or give someone an excellent eventing prospect. She has
profited well from steady riding over the summer and jumped everything we have with steady competence and
confidence.
LOT 4: Chesapeake born in 2000.
10 years old this year, thoroughbred chestnut gelding, 16.1hh. Chesapeake rides and hunts in a snaffle and has a
wonderfully calm personality. He is ideal for nervous riders who want to go hunting as he will take care of his rider
and go where instructed, rather than charging along with everyone else. He is very fast when asked to gallop, but
happy to canter along if that is the preferred gait. Chesapeake jumps nicely and is happy over obstacles up to 3’6”
although will jump bigger things for the right rider. This summer he has jumped our 4’ palisade without hesitation
and all fences and ditches have been taken in his stride.
LOT 5: Katie born in 2001.
9 year old, thoroughbred, bay filly, 15hh. Due to having too many horses, Katie was behind in her education until
this summer when she really bonded with several of the foreign students. She is an intelligent mare, willing to learn
with a kind heart. She is now jumping very nicely, show-jumps, ditches and XC, and plays a decent game of Polo.
She is very light in the mouth and rides in a rubber snaffle.
LOT 6: Tickle 1999
11 year old, bright bay, thoroughbred mare, 15.1hh. Tickle injured a hock when a youngster and so is behind in
her training. She had a foal during her recovery period. She is now going well and enjoying being in work. She is
jumping nicely and playing polo. She went out with hounds several times last season with my daughter, Emily, and
performed beautifully. She rides in a full-cheek, plain snaffle.
LOT 7: Jeremiah 1999
11 this year, thoroughbred, bright chestnut gelding, 17.1hh. Jeremiah started
his life on the track but was sold as he likes being at the front but not out ahead where a winner has to go. He
is fast, but light in the mouth and easy to control. He spent a couple of months on Exmoor at the beginning of
this season and went perfectly. He has a wonderful jump, but needs to be confident in his rider. Has hunted
regularly with all The Shire packs and came 5th in The Harborough Ride in March this year. Lovely manners and an
affectionate personality. Jeremiah rides out in a snaffle and hunts in a dutch gag (middle ring) with a snaffle rein.
LOT 8: Mediba 2003 Homebred (Lupin/Chesapeake)
6 year old, thoroughbred, dark bay gelding, 15hh. Again, due to having too many horses, Mediba is behind in his
work experience. He is a beautiful mover and has a lovely, kind, personality. He is now playing polo and jumping
well over both show-jumps and cross-country fences. He is snaffle-mouthed and has been a great success this
summer jumping everything in the cross-country field.
LOT 9: Chisipiti 2003 Homebred (Birthday Girl/Chesapeake)
7 year old, thoroughbred-cross, light chestnut mare, 15.3hh. This little horse is a quarter cob and accordingly very
versatile. She would make someone a wonderful friend in all disciplines. She can do a dressage test, is jumping
very nicely and plays polo too. An easy personality she’s happy to have a go at whatever is asked of her and has
jumped everything this summer both show-jumps and cross-country. She was hunting regularly last season and
rides out in a snaffle but has a Dutch gag (with snaffle rein) when out with hounds.
Lot 10: Match 1997 Homebred
13 year old, 15.2hh thoroughbred/cob cross. Chunky, athletic bay gelding with plenty of stamina. Match has hunted
and team-chased reliably with all the Shire packs and never put a foot wrong. He is bold across country and careful
over show-jumps and very popular with all who have taken him hunting . He hunts in a rubber American gag and,
whenever we have a show-jumping competition at Waverley, the student riding Match always wins!
LOT 11: Joey 2003
7 year old, 14.2hh bay gelding with a lovely temperament. Bred for polo Joey plays well, but is also now trained to
jump both in the ring and across country and is doing really well. For a rider with light hands he is best in a gag with
snaffle rein. He has jumped all the cross-country fences and went out with hounds regularly last season.
LOT 12: Milford 2004 homebred (Marissa/Chesapeake).
6 year old, 15.3hh quality thoroughbred chestnut gelding. Lovely temperament,
good-looking fine horse with his future in front of him. Behind in his education
through no fault of his own, Milford is snaffle-mouthed, has been ridden and jumped and is ready to be brought on.
LOT 13: Snip 1997
Attractive 13 year old 15.3hh chestnut mare with spots of white. Snip is a relatively new arrival at Waverley, she has
little experience but is willing to please and eager to learn. She is confident over a show-jumping course of up to
2’9” and keen to learn more. She uses a plain snaffle bit.
LOT 14: Nano 2001
9 year old 16hh bay gelding from impressive polo blood-lines (bred by Hugo Perodo).
Nano is good to hack out, jumps willingly and plays polo. He rides in a Snaffle and has a friendly personality without
vices. He has been very useful this summer, especially for the more nervous riders.
LOT 15: Parsley
10 year old 15.3hh pretty bright bay mare. Parsley plays polo, goes hunting and
is happy being loved and appreciated. A willing horse, eager to please, jumping
nicely over substantial obstacles and performing well on the flat. She rides in a happy-mouth, full-cheek snaffle and
has jumped every obstacle our cross-country field has to offer.
LOT 16: Rochester
5 year old, 14.2hh chestnut gelding. Rochester has a lovely
temperament and hunted well last season. He is bold over his fences, has
lovely manners and is capable of excelling in any discipline. An amazingly
versatile little horse. He rides in a snaffle and has jumped all our fences with enthusiasm – even those that seem as
tall as he is!
Lot 17: Tiggy
(Shannon Arms)
9 year old, 16.1h bay gelding. Tiggy raced in USA before coming to England where he has been re-trained for polo
with such success that he has summered at The Offchurch Bury Polo Club. He has played regularly in tournaments
throughout the season– usually on the winning side!
Youngsters:
All well-handled and confident.
LOT 18: Maxine 2007
14.3hh Homebred (Molly/Ali), half Arab chestnut filly. Has been lunged with tack and walked out along the road.
Should grow at least another hand.
LOT 19 Norwood 2007
14.2hh Homebred (Oreja/Ali) half Arab, half T’bred, blue roan
colt. Has been backed and jumped over poles up to 3’ and still going! A laid-back little horse without a mean
bone in his body. A great favourite with the summer visitors. Should make in excess of 15hh.
LOT 20: Apollo 2007
14.3 Homebred T’bred (Jill/Mediba) bay gelding. Has been backed at the walk, trot and canter and negotiated
trotting poles without a problem. Still has plenty of growing to do.
