Harry had been a wonderful pony for my daughter but sadly she won’t stop growing so we’ve made the hard decision that he needs to find a new jockey to win sashes for.

Just missed qualifying for hoys last year by 1 mark at the last qualifier as we had only just collected him that week.

He knows his job well and thrives on it. Easily qualified RI and placed well in the few hoys he has done this year. He was 4th at hoys before we got him.

Never sick or sorry. No plugs or calmers. Great at big county shows in buzzy atmospheres.

He has won many sashes and supremes with us and would not be for sale if our daughter wasn’t as tall.

Twiggy is a stunning very well bred welsh section B. She is a blood pony full of quality. She has clean limbs ,good feet,no lumps,bumps or sarcoids.

We brought her earlier in the year unbroken, where she had spent her life so far on the welsh hill's! Shes been a super star to do everything with and has taken to ridden life very well.

She is working well on the flat, popping a course of fences,hacking alone and in company. Has been XC schooling Inc water.

So far she has been out to unaffiliated dressage scoring just under 65 percent in both her tests and picking up two placings.
She has had placings in local showjumping 50/60 cm but with miles on the clock will have plenty more in the tank. Has recently been out to a local riding club show and was placed in the ridden showing. She did clear round X poles with my 4yo boy on the lead rein ... she is quite happy with him bouncing around on her back (as he refuses to rise) . She also did the fancy dress class .... and was an absolute saint being dressed up as a minion!! ... im not sure there are many 5 yo ponies that would do this ...Very well behaved in the collecting ring.

Shes good on the ground,likes little people, My son grooms her and leads her. She has been produced by my 64 yo mum ( 7 1/2 stone ) along side my son on the lead rein.. she has also been ridden by a friend of ours daughter who is 10.

A lovely young pony that could be produced on to do any job ... a very sane and sensible head but obviously not yet the finished article so experienced parent that can produce along side or do ground work would be ideal.

Fantastic home required for this lovely pony. Would like to keep in touch.

We have owned Harley for the past three years and have had great success in the show ring with countless wins at agri shows.

Harley is a second pony off lead as he takes his confidence from his rider. Excellent temperament at shows.

He has had a varied life doing wh lr, beach rides, the gallop and cross country.

He will happily ride alone or in company. Clean limed, no bumpor lumps.

Serious enquiries only.

Dora is a top class SP FR who is a pleasure to have around and has the most incredible temperament and movement.

She was up at NPS last week where she behaved beyond her years not only winning her FR but also the handy pony proving how sane and sensible she is walking over a plastic banner on the floor in the course!

She is not only a top show animal but a lovely pony too.

My daughter is only just starting FYFR and just isn’t going to be ready for her next year so looking to lease / loan her for next season so she isn’t totally wasted.

Good to do everything with, up to date with vaccinations, teeth etc

12.2 black mare, 13 years

Absolutely heartbreaking sale of this special little pony who has given my daughter so much when her confidence was at rock bottom. We have only had Star a year and she is only for sale as she's done such a good job that my daughter has now fully regained her confidence and taken a huge leap forward in ability.

Prior to coming to us, Star was a lead-rein/first off-lead pony for a tiny tot. My daughter was more established although extremely nervous due to a frightening experience on her previous pony; and Star stepped up perfectly answering every question asked of her. She's unflappable - my daughter has ridden her at night in the middle of a storm, with fireworks going off all around them! She is also ridden regularly in open fields, bareback in a head collar.

In the past year, this pony has turned her hoof to pretty much everything including:

*All aspects of Pony Club (rallies, competitions, stay away Pony Club camp)
*Showjumping up to 60cm, with many wins and placings under her belt (she has some speedy little jump-off turns in her when asked!)
*Cross Country
*Sponsored and beach rides, both of which she behaved impeccably and was never spicy or sharp
*Pole work clinics
*Obstacle course clinic in which she was totally unphased, taking it all in her stride

Star is 100% on the road (we have to cross a bridge over the M25 to get to Lullingstone Park and she doesn't care a jot). She's not fussed about large vehicles or farm machinery. She loves hacking and is perfectly behaved on her own or with other horses. She will go first or last and doesn't get affected by any nonsense going on around her. She will give your child the steadiest of canters if that's what they ask of her, or she will step up a gear if asked. We've never tried to lead her from another horse but I imagine she'd be totally fine with it! She is also very used to dogs running around her legs.

She was previously proven great on the lead-rein and she's stepped up so willingly for my daughter. She has lots of showjumping wins and placings at bottom hole, 30, 40, 50 and 60 (she qualified for Sunshine Tour 50 and 60 this year) but I feel like 50 is the top end of her comfort zone. For this reason, I think her perfect next best friend will be a less established child who won't put too much pressure on Star to jump the bigger jumps. I wouldn't say she's a true first ridden pony as she's not "point and shoot" - her rider needs to actually ride her, but she will actually teach your child to ride!

Star is fabulous to do in every way - farrier, clip, dentist, vet, bath - she's handled by my 9 year old in every aspect of day to day care. Star will come to call in the field. She will happily skip on to a trailer (loaded by my daughter every time) and will travel perfectly alone or in company. We have never tried her on a 3.5t but I believe that's how she always travelled in her previous home. She will happily stand on the trailer at a show and would be exactly where you left her, happily tied up with a hay net, if you left her to go to buy cheesy chips!

She is so easy going - she'll totally fit in with your routine. She is currently out at night and in during the day (she does like her morning snooze!) but wouldn't be fussed at all by a change. We would like her to go to a home with good, year-round grazing as she does enjoy being out. Star won't show you a different side if she hasn't been ridden in a week (or even two).

Tack (including lovely saddle purchased new last year) and full, quality wardrobe (including some brand new, never used) can go with her under separate negotiation.

She will only be sold to the very best of homes who will be happy to keep in touch. Home is more important than price. She is so, so special to us and we are struggling to come to terms with saying goodbye to her. Unfortunately it's just not an option for me to keep two and we have found our next pony unexpectedly quickly.

Coppice Mollie 12yr, 40”, grey mare

Abbotsford Ice Cube x Riccalton Marigold

Mollie is a beautifully bred performance shetland with a top level record across multiple disciplines. She has previously been hugely successful as a lead rein and is perfectly mannerly with the tiniest of jockeys. She narrowly missed a LR HOYS ticket in 2024 and would do extremely well in the non-welsh LR classes going forward. On the lead she has too many wins to list at county and affiliated level. She has taken numerous titles and supremes at the National Shetland Performance Show, including reserve supreme LR with my very novice 3yr old son in 2025.

Mollie absolutely loves jumping and would be a mother’s dream for introducing a small jockey to workers. My 7yr old daughter started out this year very nervous over fences and is now out winning BSPS heritage cradle stakes classes. This year they qualified for the NPS rocking horse finals and have won affiliated worker classes at county level shows. Mollie is a gold dust type of mini worker and would be amazing in the LIHS sports pony classes for a lucky child next year. Mollie has also contested HOYS FR flat classes this year and stood amongst the placings.

Mollie has done a variety of activities including dressage, PC SJ, XC and fun rides. She is a forward and responsive ride but is 100% snaffle mouthed and safe in open spaces and out hacking.

Mollie has the most remarkable top speed and would take a keen jockey out racing at top level. Her full brother is in racing and she is the real deal when it comes to pace and jump talent. She is mannerly enough to introduce a child to racing whilst being fast enough to be competitive.

Mollie is a pleasure to have around and can be led and handled by the tiniest tots. She is about as unmarish as they come, viceless and practically perfect in every way.

Mollie has excellent references from the families who have been lucky enough to enjoy her. She is sold from her breeder and can be seen and tried with her current loan home.

  • Thistledown Queen Mary
  • Genuine Section A LR or potential FR

Genuine Section A LR or potential FR Thistledown mare, done half a dozen shows including 2 HOYS classes where she’s been having great pulls including a 3rd at Stoneleigh to finish joint 10th in a very very strong class of 29 in appalling weather! Also this week she’s been at the NPS to finish 6th in the M & M LR national final.

Competed in evening performances and looked after her little jockey. However she is only 5 and will need her education continuing and I don’t doubt she will go far.

Very straight forward, broken by a 4 yr old hacking nicely in traffic and done a little off the lead. However we have focused on LR classes. Handled daily by children and will either live in or out. We do think she would easily go off the lead.

Up to date with feet, vaccines and teeth
