KK Equines
Here at KK Equines we pride ourselves on our love for and success in finding the perfect match between horse and owner.
With 17 years experience selling Katie and her team understand that to truly find a horse their perfect home, we must understand the horse! This means a vigorous assessment period and training programme are implemented for all of our horses, enabling us to find an owner that fits the horses criteria!
Our belief is that it is our responsibility to speak for the horse and ensure their needs will be met in their new home, while guiding you to find the horse that is best suited to you!
We built our reputation on our love for successful match making & have had the pleasure of making some wonderful new KK family members! Through passion and dedication we have also been recognised and approved by; BETA & BHS, the recommended equestrian association as a reputable trader. Also offering: work experience placements, city and guilds NVQ training & acted as a WHW holding centre.
Here are some of the aspects that set us apart from everyone else.
- We love our horses.
This means that we want our horses to be truly happy and will always strive to ensure the perfect home is found for each individual.
- All of our horses come with a 28 day trial as standard.
With a contract in place to cover both parties this enables you to take the horse to your yard for 28 days. This gives you that much needed reassurance that if it transpires the horse isn't for you, they will be welcomed back with open arms.
We also often have some of the more sensitive horses available for longer trial periods.
- We always recommend multiple viewings.
Horses are sensitive animals that respond differently to a change of conditions. Therefore it is best to try horses in a wide range of settings and circumstances. We facilitate this by encouraging you to hack and school the horse multiple times before taking your new companion home.
- Very detailed adverts.
We do our best to describe the horse accurately and give you as much information as possible. We also try to give an understanding of their personality type so you can decide if they would be a suitable match to your family.
- In depth phone conversation regarding suitability.
Where possible we always try to talk to customers in depth about their needs to identify a horses suitability before even booking a viewing.
- Hundreds of pictures and videos.
We believe that to help you know if a horse is suitable you must also see it's way of going before viewing. We document and upload as much as possible for you to use to determine if the horse is suitable for you. So check out our Facebook and YouTube pages for what will most likely be hundreds of pictures and videos.
- Free guidance and Reiki.
During the time spent with us Katie and the team will endeavour to ensure that you come away from your experience having gained something. So, to do this we offer;
Free Reiki Healing which is given as standard throughout the viewing.
Guidance on how to get the best out of the horse whilst riding and handling.
On top of that you will also receive free guidance on self awareness & development!
- All of our horses are open to vetting.
Use a vet of your choice, have whatever stage you feel required. Quite simply put, it's all down to you.
We can be there to assist with the vetting for no charge.
​
- Deposits.
​
A £500 deposit is required to reserve your horse.
Deposits are non refundable unless the horse fails a veterinary inspection once we have spoken to the vet
Deposits hold the horse for 7 days in which time they must be collected or they will be placed back on the market and the deposit retained.
We encourage people to bring an instructor or knowledgeable friend that knows you and your ability with you as an extra pair of eyes and to ensure a good match.
You are more than welcome to view the horse as many times as you feel necessary and go out on accompanied hacks before bringing them home.
We are happy to hire out external facilities IE XC course, arena etc (at your own expense). We are also happy for you to view horses at shows & take them in a class but again this is at your own expense.
- We don't just sell to anyone!
Our horses are first and foremost our priority. We do our utmost to ensure that adequate knowledge and care is given to our horses so always require:
- 3 professional references.
- Pictures of the yard.
- Copy of identification and signed contract.
- An in depth discussion about the specific needs of the horse.
Below you can find a few pictures and information on some of the horses that we have for sale, although not all of them are advertised so please contact us directly to see if we have anything suitable.
If you feel that our business is one you would like to connect with please reach out.

-16HH
- GELDING
- 9YO
- EUROPEAN SPORT HORSE
- HUNTER/SHOW/COMPETITION
- SERIOUSLY TALENTED
AVAILABLE WITH 28 DAY TRIAL. 16hh 9yo coloured ESH gelding. Very well bred with super conformation. Good to bath, catch, clip, load, travel, handle & farrier. Easy to do in all ways, a real gentleman. Very sweet and kind natured boy. Intelligent and switched on so always learning and trying to please. Schooling Very well schooled. Lots of buttons to push when you know what to ask! Flying changes, leg yeild, walk to canter, collection, extension established. Working on piaffe, half pass, turn on the forehand - almost established. Massive elastic paces. One of those horses where you get lost in time when riding. Jumping One of the most powerful jumpers I've ever ridden, with some serious ping and scope. He is building his confidence SJ as not done as much of this before us, however once he builds trust in his rider he will do anything for them. XC he is a machine, jumps anything pointed at and gives or takes leads. One to watch for the future, this lad is capable of some big tracks with the right rider. Hacking Hacks out first or last, alone or in company. Crosses any terrain confidently. Happily takes the lead or hangs back to look after the kids. Good with cars (around 'normal' roads) but when we hack down the main road he does like to stop and look at the larger traffic (artics/double decker buses etc) as he can worry about these. CV With us he has.. been on pleasure rides, pub rides, showing shows, show jump training, show jump shows, XC schooling at Milton Keynes and Alconbury, hound exercise & team chasing. With previous owners he has done a lot of showing, qualifying and competing at RIHS X2, hunted, XC farm rides etc. Although he is a genuine and kind boy he is not suitable for novices. He is suited to a rider that wants to go out and have some real fun be that hunting, showing, dressage, team chasing etc. This being said he is not the explosive sort either! Just a very fun ride! Please no yards where he will be a 'number' this boy thrives on and deserves to be someone's heart horse. Call Katie on 07540899304 to discuss. Based in Whittlesey Peterborough

​​- HUNTING PONY
PANDA -13.1hh - 10yo - Piebald - Cob - Mare Good conformation with smooth flowing paces. Sweet natured no malice. Good to bath, load, travel, handle, farrier and vet. Can sometimes require a treat to be caught. Loves attention and starting to soften and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time. Ridden by all the kids, nervous and novice riders. Snaffle mouthed. Doesn't get strong or silly. Reliable sort. Hacks out alone or in company in front or behind. Good in heavy traffic never have to worry about little ones on board. Forward but sensible ride, not whizzy just active paced. 1.5 type ride. Pops a small jump honestly with kiddies. Will take the rider into the jump genuinely, all they need to do is steer. Very bold and willing little lady. Always comes home with a ribbon. SJ & XC. Jumped 2'6ft with more capable jockeys. Basic schooling but not yet been advanced as produced into a kids pony. Has been out in group rides of 13 happy to be placed anywhere. Been out competing SJ upto 50cm with first time jockeys and was absolutely brilliant. Came home with lots of 1sts! Used for lessons for a variety of riders looking after them all. Pleasure rides, never been spooky or silly away from home. Beach she was brilliant swimming and cantering up and down with novice and nervous teens and kids. XC schooling looked after nervous or novice jockeys and kept them safe. SJ schooling tried her little heart out popping everything. Has also been hound exercise with 7yo child who has never hunted & she was amazing looking after him - as a mum I was able to breath (until he decided it was the best thing in the whole world and panda was awesome so he could go zooming off, weaving between horses, off chatting to people, jumping ditches & had no fear then I got a little nervous! But his massive rise in confidence was purely down to Pandas perfect behaviour). Lovely little alrounder for someone to enjoy. Suit a child that is ready to go and have some fun independently and needs a pony to look after them.

POLLY AVAILABLE WITH 28 DAY TRIAL. Polly is a beautifully bred, well put together young mare who has been lightly backed and is showing an incredibly genuine attitude to work. She has three correct paces, a soft mouth, and is hacking out confidently both alone and in company — excellent in heavy traffic and on open grass. Lightly schooled in walk and trot, still green as expected for her age, but ready to continue her education with a kind and capable rider. Would equally make a lovely broodmare given her quality breeding and kind, trainable nature. An absolute sweetheart to have on the yard — adores fuss and attention, brilliant with the baby and kids, and excellent around all animals including chickens, dogs and goats. Good to bath, catch, load, travel, handle and for the farrier. Traditional Shire stamp with good conformation and plenty more maturing to do. She has a very mild, purely cosmetic roach to her back which causes her no issues & I suspect will be less noticeable when she has finished growing, has proper top line etc. No CPL, stringhalt, or shivers. Open to full vetting. Still a little gangly and has growing and filling out ahead — a big, kind girl with a bright future.
