Pip is a very special pony and this is an incredibly difficult and genuine sale. We have owned her for 2 years and 8 months, but my daughter Mollie has suddenly grown so tall that, after much deliberation, she has decided the time is right for Pip to find her next best friend and for her to move onto a bigger pony.
Pip has been a huge part of our family and has helped Mollie rebuild her confidence after a very difficult experience with her first pony. They have developed a fantastic partnership and Pip has always been honest, genuine and incredibly forgiving.
🏆 Jumping & Pony Club
Pip was bred for jumping and absolutely loves it! She has jumped 1m at home with a different jockey and regularly competes with Mollie at 65cm, which she pops around like a pro. She has a lovely jump and we genuinely feel she has much more potential than Mollie has been able to unlock.
Mollie is still a relatively cautious rider and, understandably after her previous experience, has never pushed Pip to the best of her ability.
Pip simply hasn't been produced to her full potential because she hasn't needed to be. With a more experienced and confident little jockey, we can see her going so much further and having an enormous amount of fun along the way.
Pip has enjoyed a wonderfully varied life including:
• Pony Club games
• Pony Club rallies
• Pony Club Junior & Senior Camps
• Show jumping
• Cross country schooling
• Arena eventing
• Showing - ridden & in-hand
• Clinics and lessons
• Pleasure rides and lots of hacking
Pip is definitely a second pony, but she is also a pony with plenty of talent and ability to take a confident child a long way.
She is steady and sensible when required but can certainly step up a gear when asked. She has brakes and has never bolted.
🌳 Hacking
We hack Pip a lot and she is fantastic in traffic. She will happily hack alone or in company and is equally happy to go in front or behind.
She lives on a working farm, so is completely accustomed to tractors, farm machinery and all sorts of vehicles. Our village also has regular buses passing through and she genuinely doesn't bat an eyelid. She is a really fun and experienced little pony who enjoys getting out and about.
❤️ Handling & Care
Pip is a lovely, kind pony who is very much part of the family. The girls handle her daily and Mollie is completely independent with her - picking out her feet, tacking her up and getting her ready herself.
She loves being pampered and is happy to stand and be washed, groomed, plaited and fussed over. She is used to children being involved in all aspects of her care.
Like any pony, Pip has her own little personality and likes to know where she stands, but she responds well to confident, consistent handling. We are very happy to discuss this in more detail with genuinely interested homes.
Pip is:
• Barefoot and excellent for the farrier
• Up to date with everything
• Brilliant with the dentist
• Vaccinated May 2026
• Has had no veterinary treatment during our ownership other than routine vaccinations
• Easy to load and travels very well
• Travels particularly well in our trailer
• Great to clip – she has had hearts, lightning strikes and various other clips!
• Used to a busy working farm environment
• Pip has previously lived out 24/7 and currently lives in during the day and out overnight, with her routine reversed during the winter.
💕 The important bit...
Pip has played a huge part in rebuilding Mollie's confidence.
Mollie's first pony sadly turned out to have kissing spines, something we were completely unaware of at the time. Mollie had some awful falls and her confidence was understandably shattered.
It took a little while after getting Pip, but she has helped Mollie completely rebuild that confidence. They have developed a fantastic partnership and Pip has always been honest and genuine with her.
She is the sort of pony who gives her rider confidence and tries her best to look after them, whilst still having enough ability and talent to keep an ambitious child interested and progressing.
She really is a little horse in a pony's body - talented, genuine and incredibly exciting for the right jockey.
This is a very reluctant sale of a pony we absolutely adore. Finding Pip the right home is far more important to us than simply selling her. We would love to keep in touch with her new owners and see her continue to thrive.
We are looking for a knowledgeable, loving home where Pip will continue to be part of the family and have a busy and varied life.
