The requirements include:

- Cob or similar breeds between 14.3-16hh (rider is 5ft8)

- Age between 5-12 years

- Gelding preferred

- A safe, fun and sensible allrounder looking for a varied life, including happy hacking, lessons, fun rides, camps and clinics!

- Must be sane and sensible out hacking and be used to a variety of things, including cyclists, various machinery and manage motorway bridges and train bridges with encouragement.

- Horse will be highly pampered, enjoying lots of grooming sessions and cuddles! Must be a people person and like spending lots of time with owner, as will be on assisted DIY.

- Enjoy schooling as owner would like to learn and grow with the horse, exploring a more classical dressage style of training.

- Possibility of dressage shows, small clear rounds in the future. Bonus points if will jump the odd log now and again!

Mother & Daughter Share / Teenager’s All-Rounder for Sale

Choc-Ice

18-year-old Gelding

14.3–15hh

Essex

It is with a very heavy heart that we offer our much-loved Choc-Ice for sale. He is the ideal mother and daughter share, while also being a fantastic first horse for someone stepping up from ponies or a small adult looking for a genuine all-rounder.

We have owned Choc-Ice for 14 years, buying him as a 4-year-old when I was just 11 years old. He took me from ponies to horses and, more recently, has spent the last 4½ years on full loan, where he has done exactly the same for his current rider, taking her from her first pony onto horses. Sadly, she is now heading off to university and, with a young baby, I am unable to take him back into work, so we have made the heartbreaking decision to find him the perfect next home.

Choc-Ice is a genuine all-rounder who loves having a job. He schools nicely on the flat, produces a lovely dressage test, and has regularly jumped 80–95cm courses. He has attended Pony Club regularly, enjoying rallies, camps, and a variety of activities. He loves hacking and is always safe doing so. He can be enthusiastic when jumping/XC, but he is never nasty or dangerous and always snaffle mouthed.

At 18 years old, he has a wealth of experience and still has plenty to offer. He would be perfect for a family wanting one horse to enjoy together—whether that’s Pony Club, lessons, beach Rides, competitions, hacking, or simply having fun.

He is good to shoe, box, clip, catch and is a pleasure to own. Choc-Ice has a cheeky, affectionate personality and is loved by everyone who meets him.

This is an incredibly difficult sale, and finding the right home is our absolute priority. We will only let him go to a loving, knowledgeable home where he will continue to be cherished.

• Full Up 14.2 - 15.2hh. Age 6 -14 yrs.
• Confident Hacking Out / Meeting Farm Vehicles. Sensible To Hack In A Group / At Pleasure Rides.
• Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type.

I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Molly – 14.2hh, 7-Year-Old Mare

Molly is a lovely 14.2hh, 7 year old mare looking for her next home. She has a kind, genuine temperament and is a quiet ride, making her an enjoyable horse to have around.

She loves hacking and is excellent in traffic, taking everything in her stride. She is also sensible in open spaces and doesn't get fizzy or strong, making her a confidence-giving hack.

Molly remains a little off the leg, so she would suit someone happy to ride a quieter horse rather than one that's sharp or forward-going.

She is easy to handle, has good manners on the ground, and is a pleasure to own. She would make a lovely all-rounder or happy hacking partner for someone looking for a sensible, uncomplicated mare.

Recently passed a vetting, is vaccinated and ready to go!

Please get in touch for more information or to arrange a viewing.

My preferred breed is a chunky traditional Connemara just because I love the breed so much my previous Connemara gave me so much but he is retired now , but would consider something else that fits the bill , but Connies really are my fav !

I previously had a bad accident with my last pony on the road with a tractor and my confidence is very low , it's very important that my next pony is very safe confidence giver. I am aware no horse is perfect but I don't want anything sharp or spooky and nothing that bolts , rears or bucks , strong etc
