Companions: Mares

Smart section A Pony


Ref #: 402203
  • Been used as a companion pony
  • Kind natured
£975
  • Welsh Section A
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 11.2 hands
  • Been used as a companion pony
  • Kind natured

Very smart and correct registered Sec A mare, will make a wonderful all-rounder or ideal for showing. Also a brilliant companion.

Has never kicked or bitten, forward thinking attitude and says yes to everything we ask of her.

Lightly backed due to being used as a companion until last year. Long reining round fields and roads happily, has been ridden around the yard and hacked out in company and alone. Naturally works in a nice outline.

Requires food to catch her in a big field but fine in smaller areas and this has improved with regular and consistent work.

Vaccinated, up to date teeth, worming etc. Ready to go on and find a job now.

No novices, she is only recently backed and I have no doubt she will be an amazing kids pony with mileage but is not suitable for a wobbly unbalanced child yet. Ideal project for a small teenager, my 12yr old has done a lot of work with her and happily catches her, tacks her up and long reins and rides her.

Bridle and rugs available by separate negotiation.


Blue Cross Sophie


Ref #: 402051
  • Non-ridden companion
  • Happiest living out 24/7
  • Sweet nature
£180
  • Cob
  • Black
  • Mare
  • 21 years
  • 14 hands
  • Non-ridden companion
  • Happiest living out 24/7
  • Sweet nature

Based at Rolleston Centre

Meet Sophie, a sweet-natured mare looking for her forever home as a non-ridden companion. Sophie is well-established in her basic handling and is good to catch, groom, pick out feet, and for both the vet and farrier.

Sophie is happiest living out 24/7 in a mixed herd and can stay alone for short periods once settled. She’s a good doer, so will need restricted or sparse grazing to maintain a healthy weight. She would suit a home with similar grazing management and plenty of hay piles to avoid food-related tension with other horses.

Although Sophie isn’t a ridden horse she will still make a lovely companion for another horse or pony.

Can you offer Sophie a loving home?

Companion/Project pony


Ref #: 401117
  • Lizzie is a 11.1 hand pony, four years old in May 26, who is looking for a new home
SOLD! Gone to a lovely new home!
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 3 years
  • 11.1 hands
  • Lizzie is a 11.1 hand pony, four years old in May 26, who is looking for a new home
She has been with us since February 25 when I went to purchase a companion pony and came back with two! My plan was to back her when ready if I had time but I realise this isn't going to happen as I work full time and have three other horses at home. She is a nice horse, inquisitive, likes a cuddle.

She lives out all year round, currently unclipped (and quite muddy) has been out for walks on a lead rein, unphased by traffic, loads fine, likes being groomed, stands for the farrier, ok with the dentist.

She has been a perfectly good field companion but in reality I really only need one of these, and I think she would enjoy doing more if someone could offer this. No medical problems, wormed.

  • Mare
  • 3 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Non-ridden companion pony
  • Able to stay alone for short periods
  • Lives out 24/7 or can be part stabled
- Based at a foster yard in Bedfordshire -

Nutmeg is a rising 4-year-old native mare looking for a kind, understanding home as a non-ridden companion. She hasn’t had the best start in life, which means she can take a little longer to settle into new environments, but once she feels safe, her sweet and willing nature really shines through.

Nutmeg thrives with calm, consistent 1-1 handling from a confident adult who can give her time to process new experiences. She is making steady progress with ongoing training in all areas and is very rewarding to work with as her trust grows.

She is an excellent companion to other young ponies and fits happily into both part-stabled routines and 24/7 turnout. Once settled, we feel that Nutmeg would be okay with staying alone for short periods, providing this is built up gradually.

Nutmeg is a lovely little mare with a gentle heart who just needs patience, reassurance, and the right person to help her continue blossoming.

Storme is a truly lovely ISH x ID mare, now seeking a non-ridden companion home after retiring from her ridden career. She has a wonderfully affectionate nature and quickly becomes a favourite wherever she goes. Storme enjoys human company, loves a good fuss, and stands beautifully for grooming—she’s the kind of mare who really appreciates attention and gives it back in her own quiet, sweet way.

She currently lives out 24/7 in a mare herd, where she settles well and keeps harmony within the group. She’s equally content part-stabled, making her easy to accommodate on different yards. Storme is good to catch, lead, groom and to have her feet picked out with a confident handler. Once she trusts her new surroundings, she will happily share a hay pile with her field mates.

Storme would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a calm, kind and genuinely lovable equine companion.

Melody is a retired jumping pony, she was once one of the top jumping ponies in Ireland but suffered an injury to a tendon and is not currently in work.

She may or may not come right again so she is being sold as a companion or brood mare.

Ideal for someone wanting to breed jumping ponies as she has a huge talent.

Thunder is a pleasure to handle – easy to catch, happy to be groomed, good for the farrier and vet, and generally very polite to have around. New places can feel a little big and scary for him at first, but with a bit of time and reassurance he settles in well and shows his true, sweet nature.

He would thrive with a kind, understanding adopter who can offer him a quiet routine, steady companionship, and a safe place to call home. In return, Thunder will offer loyalty, gentle affection, and the sort of presence that simply makes your field feel warmer.

If you’re looking for a soft, easy-going pony to join your herd and share peaceful days with, Thunder could be your perfect match.

Maggie is a beautiful Registered Welsh D mare who has found herself back in our care through no fault of her own, simply due to a change in her borrower’s circumstances. Now in her senior years, she is hoping for nothing more than a safe, loving home where she can finally settle for good and enjoy the quiet life she deserves.

She is a truly gentle soul who blossoms with kindness and patience. Maggie may be a little shy at first, but once she learns she can trust you, she forms the most heartfelt bond and takes real comfort in human company. There’s something very special about earning her trust – she has a way of quietly stealing hearts.

Maggie currently lives out happily in a herd of mares and geldings. She can be part-stabled if needed and, as a good doer, will need sensible grazing to keep her comfortable and healthy.

She will thrive in a home that can provide a consistent routine and plenty of daily handling. Katie currently enjoys living in a mixed herd of youngsters and has begun part-stabling for short periods with confidence.

  • Ebony wants to be a pony club pony!
Ebony is a 12:2hh, 7 year old cob x. She has three sweet paces, happy to pop round a course of fences and good to hack.

She has previously been in a riding school, but most recently has been a family pony.

Ebony would suit as a second pony, she can be a bit cheeky and put in a buck. This isn’t pain related, she has been fully checked out by the vets. Back X-rays look fantastic.

She just can get a little excited. I think that with more regular consistent work this would resolve - she loves being active.

She would suit a more competent little rider, looking to be an active pony club member.

We are open to any offers. Please do get in touch.
