King! The ultimate 1 in a million horse you are all looking for. The most genuine, safest and soundest horse in the country!

King needs no introduction, Handsome straight forward gelding, standing at 17.2h making him the most perfect weight carrier. One for the non horsey husbands to learn the trade! Gentlemanly enough for a petite lady, safe enough for a child. The smooth Rolls Royce to help progress a canter and will have you jumping a course in no time. King has been there and done it all, with plenty left in the tank to show you the ropes and be a reliable confidence giving noble steed.

If you think I’m done gloating about this chap, I’m not…

Without a shadow of doubt the safest hack in England, end of the buckle, will go for hours and adores a good forest ride, especially a dip in the river after. He absolutely adores water so be prepared to be splashed!

School’s beautifully on the flat with auto changes.

Point and steer job to jump whether that be Xc or Sj.

A big Labrador on the ground, trusted with kids, dogs etc.

Easy to do in every single way. Nothing is an issue, a beautiful gentle giant to have about. King is a genuine vice free horse looking for a loving private home.

If you want to enjoy a hassle and stress free life, beach rides, hacking, schooling, jumping, this is your guy.

Loads and travels beautifully, loves a fuss, good to shoe, clip, tie up, turn out in a herd or alone.

Serious enquires only - first in line will buy!

Cavaliers floris - a true first horse / amateurs dream
15.3h, 11year old Irish sport gelding

Floris is an extremely attractive model of a horse, he has outstanding breeding with his dam being a 1.40 jumper ( Cavalier Royale X Clover hill) and he’s directly by Floris TN (Quality time TN x Vancouver) we purchased him from his breeder.

We have owned Floris for over 3 years and he is truly part of the family. He was my daughter’s first horse and she got him when she was 12. He is the perfect step up from ponies.

He jumped round the COH viewing trial for 2 down, has qualified for numerous classes over the years, hickstead main arena a few times, he was double clear and placed in the discovery final, bluechip star final etc…
My daughter was very inexperienced and he has always bought her home safely.

We would like to see him go to a long term home whether it’s another child or an adult, he really is the sweetest horse.

This is a very sad sale, and not a decision we have taken lightly so serious enquiries only please

  • Actively looking for the best Pony Club ponies

  • Actively looking for the best Pony Club ponies
  • Some fabulous knowledgeable homes waiting
  • No fees for sellers

I have motivated clients looking for genuine, kind, quality and proven ponies to take part in all Pony Club activities.

The ponies I would love to hear about are those not needing to be advertised to secure a new home. There’s no harm in finding out whether I know of a better home and match. Perhaps you worry about your child finding it upsetting seeing their old pony regularly at rallies etc - then selling out of area could be a better solution.

These are motivated buyers receiving guidance as to what will likely suit their child - not the timewasters regularly reported. In most cases homes are also knowledgeable: simply lacking in time to conduct a search themselves. Most will also wait for the right pony so if you are not ready to sell yet, that’s not an issue.

There are some decent budgets available relative to age and medical conditions etc.

All leads will be handled with discretion.

  • Loving, long term family home
  • Varied and sensible workload
  • Would want for nothing!

We have a tall 13yo, she is a quiet, natural jockey whose main interest is dressage, she enjoys jumping but isn’t super competitive. Having outgrown her fabulous 13.3/14hh Welsh x Cob who turns her hoof to a bit of everything, we are looking for a similar type with longer legs! Think overgrown pony rather than a horse, temperament, consistency and kindness are paramount. Must be well schooled with good transitions but we don’t need big/expressive movement. We’d like something that is happy jumping 70/80 tracks, has done plenty of rallies, been to camp, hacks nicely etc. Must be easy and straightforward on the ground, to travel etc.

We really aren’t stuck on a Connie and would happily consider a sensible Section D, LW cob or Irish type. We are offering a fabulous family home, the stables are next to the house and the children are very involved in the day to day care of their ponies. Life will be varied, they really will want for nothing. We recognise we are looking for a needle in a haystack and have the budget to reflect that. West Midlands based but can travel within reason. We will ask for references and veterinary history, we are pragmatic and sensible but want to make a decision based on all the facts!

Seeking a talented horse or pony to loan


Ref #: 403908
  • 14 year old competitive jockey
  • Passion for Show Jumping
  • Short term Summer Loan or Long Term Competition Home Offered
  • 14 year old competitive jockey
  • Passion for Show Jumping
  • Short term Summer Loan or Long Term Competition Home Offered

I am seeking a talented horse or pony to loan for my 14 year old daughter due to the long term injury of her 16hh horse, therefor my funds are tied up with this unforeseen and upsetting situation.

Her passion and love is within Show jumping where she has competed up to 90cm unaffiliated and 1'10 under instruction.
We offer a varied all rounder home, on a private yard with school, individual turn out, great hacking and access to the moors. 3.5t spacious horse box, 3 very local competition venues right on our doorstep and a fantastic coach who teaches us both. Active pony club member, who has competed up to regional champ level and recently qualified for the barrier animal health champs, however decided to pass down to another member as she secured a ride on someone else's horse for the day!

Not your average teen rider! Along side myself, she schools people's ponies locally and is paid to do so, often being asked to ride difficult ponies, she is offered competitive rides often, which is great as she can earn some money and gain lots of experience riding different horses, often only riding them for the first time on the day in the warm up! But its not quite the same as having a number 1 to love, groom and ride.

She has been producing ponies with me for the past 3 years, backing, schooling and competing, often riding my 16'2 Dutch warmblood mare, whilst retraining her OTTB, said horse is very highly strung and complexed without the now long term injury. She transitioned to horses 1.5 years ago with ease having had a very successful 2 years on her 14'2 and various smaller ponies previously who were either backed or produced to well schooled allrounders, sold to fund the next height.

She has the ability to get on most horses/ponies and work them out for the first time, getting results and harmony quickly. She has an excellent seat and balance, has been taught to ride from the seat rather than the hand, very good hands and also to ride and hold forward horses/ponies to a fence.

We are very open to young and green providing the talent is there and it wants to jump, equally it would be lovely to have something established as we have never had the luxury of having something ready made!

Would consider going BS in the future, but this is absolutely not essential and would only affiliate when the right partnership is formed.

Open to full up 14'2 pony or up to 16'2 horse, as she is 5’4 and still growing, something easy to handle on the ground is a must however we don't mind quirks and spice under saddle just nothing nasty or dangerous.

Will consider short term summer loan or a special long term option!

Might be situation where someone is going off to uni, injured or time and facility restrictions means you have something talented that needs to get out and about ready to to be sold or something you are looking to be competed at a decent level longer term. Jockey is available now and keen to have a season of competing, has a reserve camp space in August at Pontispool where she will have to steal my horse if she doesn't have one!

Many references can be provided, we offer a knowledgeable and experienced home where I can assist with schooling and riding as a mother daughter duo, but the main rider competing is my daughter.

Malcom is a super sweet natured and easy to have around.

On the flat he is responsive to your leg and has nice forward paces but is still very much more kick than pull.

He happily pops around a small course of fences including fillers. He’s never spooky. He’s a real confidence giving type.

To hack Malcom will go up the main road alone and in company, in front or behind. He’s not bothered by lorries or fast cars. He’s passed building sites with moving machinery not battering an eyelid.

For the past 3 years Malcom has been with a young girl in a pony club home. He’s been to unaffiliated shows and regularly placed. Sad sale due to school commitments and outgrown.

He’s an absolute saint for the farrier, easy to clip, load, travel, catch etc

Malcom would make someone very happy and will them with confidence.

He would make a great addition to someone’s riding school, RDA, low level all rounder or happy hacker.

Malcom is sold with a full wardrobe of rugs, bridle and fitted saddle.

Wanted Safe, Sensible and Smart Hack


Ref #: 84635
I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys please. The horse must be good in traffic, sensible and non-spooky, as I am fortunate to have access to extensive hacking. I particularly enjoy forward-going horses, so something that is forward thinking, responsive and well-schooled would be ideal. No napping, bucking or rearing etc.

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I am happy to consider horses with superficial blemishes, but no health conditions or previous injuries please.

As this will be a forever home and the horse will not be sold on, please no silly prices.

  • Super Nature and attitude
  • Loveable, safe and quiet
  • Needs to find his forever home
Rocky is a 16-year-old black Irish Cob with a kind, gentle nature. Before his ridden career he was driven, which has helped shape him into a very sensible and reliable horse.

He would be ideal for a family home looking for a safe, easy horse to enjoy hacking in the countryside, beach rides, and relaxed days out. Rocky is calm, affectionate, and a pleasure to handle.

While he will work in the school, it is not his favourite environment. However, with consistent work and patience, he is likely to become more comfortable there over time.

Rocky has no known vices, no health issues, and is sound with clean limbs. He is easy to manage in all ways – good to load and travel, good with the farrier, clipping, and the dentist.

He is being sold on behalf of a client due to a change in personal circumstances, and this is a genuine and sad sale as Rocky is a much-loved horse.

Rocky is a true gem with plenty to offer the right person. Viewings and vettings are welcome.
