  • By the well known stallion My Eclipse (son of Shaab) out of a full ID mare, fab temperament
  • Currently standing between 14.2hh and 14.3hh and bum high
  • Backed and riding away, loving hacking out, ready to produce. Up to date with everything.
A very smart young mare with a nice start, great breeding, and fab temperament, Oti is confident and kind. A compact type with a willing attitude, backed and straightforward to do, she's not been rushed and is riding away nicely ready for someone to produce and put their own stamp on her.

Owned since she was 1 (direct from her breeder at Tremayne Irish Draughts in Cornwall), she's a fabulous and much-loved little mare.

She is currently between 14"2/14"3 and short coupled - she'll take a 16.5" saddle maximum. This is the only reason she's for sale as she just hasn't grown big enough for me, she wouldn't be going anywhere if she had grown a hand bigger.

She has recently been professionally backed proving very straightforward to do, and is currently riding away sensibly at her backing yard in Cornwall where she is in work 5 days a week, mostly hacking out.

Oti is already a pleasure to have out and about:
- She's done plenty of groundwork including lots of long lining. Easy on the ground, on the yard, in the stable.
- Obviously very green but a very sensible head for her age, she is proving brave, willing, and not phased by things
- Should make a proper 'have a go at anything' sort.
- Hacking out and genuinely enjoys it; is the same whether she goes first or last and has been out alone around the farm with no problems.
- Confident being in the indoor school but still extremely green.
- Good in all traffic seen so far, including tractors.

She is:
- Level-headed, biddable, and should prove easy to produce.
- A friendly people person, generally wants to be with you and involved in whatever you're doing.
- Good with other horses, easy with any routine or management.
- Great with the farrier, has always been barefoot and regularly trimmed, up to date with this.
- Great with the vet, up to date with vaccinations, teeth, worming. Wolf teeth removed a couple of years ago.
- Fine in her stable and with being left whilst others go out.
- Easy to catch: has always come to call, follows you around the field.
- Confident with new experiences & takes things in her stride.
- Kind with children, good with dogs (has been used to lots of dogs since I've had her).
- Not phased by machinery and tractors (we had lots of work done on the yard whilst she was a baby and she was super interested in watching it all).

She is realistically priced due to her relative lack of experience to date:
- She's backed & riding away but hasn't been out to shows / seen much of the world yet.
- I've never clipped her or bathed her, I don't think she'd have a problem with either (she's had the back of clippers all over her whilst on with no issues) but she's never done it.
- She's an inexperienced traveller because I've never had transport.
- She's got a cold splint that has never caused any issues, from hooning around being a youngster on lots of land in the spring last year.

Location:
Located in Cornwall between Falmouth & Helston at her backing yard, she's in regular ridden work and her price will increase the more she does.

Who she'd suit:
Oti would suit a small adult who is comfy in a 16.5" saddle max, who is kind, confident and experienced and who's looking for an easy little mare to produce this summer. No novices purely due to her age; she deserves a balanced confident rider capable of furthering her education. She'll turn her hoof to lots of things, should be a lovely all rounder.

No loans, no LWVTB, no payment plans. Genuine enquiries only please.

A fun, forward-going Ride & Drive.

Dotty has been with us since March. She was purchased from a riding school after being a little too switched on for everyone there. We bought her because she drove, and we’ve had the best fun with her — from evening pub drives with the family to a driving holiday around Thetford Forest.

We’ve since discovered she also LOVES jumping.

She’s definitely more GO than WHOA, but she’s super safe with it.

She’s still green to ride, as she has mainly been driven, and she is very forward in her way of going because of it. However, the more she’s ridden, the better she becomes.

She would suit a super confident child or small adult who prefers a smaller horse.

We are just not using her enough to justify keeping her, so we are trying to find her a good home. She’s not really big enough for us to ride, and we already have two 17hh hunters.

She absolutely would hunt and is fearless cross-country. We’ve taken her on a hunt ride with around 30 others, where she was completely unfazed by the large group, big timber jumps, and hedges.

She is the easiest horse to have around and to do anything with. I’d keep her just as a pet if horses weren’t so expensive!

Harness and beautiful pleasure carriage are also available by separate negotiation. We can always put you in touch with someone to teach you if you have not driven before.

Lovely straightforward Irish cob

14.3H 4yo mare

She’s very kind in all ways. Loves people and eager to please her rider. We have done plenty of hacking out with her and she’s been as good as gold.

Good weight carrier with plenty of bone and substance. Has done cross country with a young girl riding and is showing to be brave and honest to jump too.

No lumps bumps vices. Recent good vet cert.


14'3 Welsh Section D mare

  • Dark bay

  • 15 years

  • Wonderful kind nature ridden and in hand
  • Owned past 8 years family home
  • Excellent shoe, clip, load

14'3 very pretty Sec D mare, 5*home sought, amazing temperament on the ground and ridden. Brilliant to tack up, load, bath, clip, groom, a very special horse, we have owned Winnie for 8 years, so this is not an easy decision but daughter has outgrown.

She DOES NOT jump, never has, as formerly a pure dressage pony competing very successfully up to Novice Level with my daughter, but had change of career 3 years ago due to a strain during training, was fully rehabilitated and has been sound and ridden as a mother/daughter share without issue since, but for this reason we don't want a schooling home for her, she's done enough of that and is loving life as an active mare and loves funrides, hacks, beach rides, etc.

She prefers company out hacking, doesn't have to be another horse, someone walking, bike riding is fine. She's not naughty on her own, just occasionally plants her feet!

No novices as although she is very kind natured, she is a Sec D and a capable horse, would suit an experienced teen or small adult.

A good doer, so better on restricted grazing. Would suit someone who wants a lovely kind hack/funride/beach ride kind of horse.

Would consider trial period to right home, so ideally a home within reach of SY13 4RB. No Dealers.

14.2 6yo Irish Sports Pony

Friday is a versatile pony looking for a lower-key home. Safe enough for a competent novice and would suit a mother/daughter share.

Good to hack alone or in company and unfazed by heavy traffic including lorries, motorbikes, bikes, dogs, prams and farm machinery. Happy cantering across open fields and sensible in all positions of the ride.

Attended dressage, SJ and XC training/competitions giving him a lovely all-round education.

Exceptional manners – good for farrier, dentist, vet, loading, travelling, grooming, bathing and catching.

This is an incredibly sad sale of a much-loved pony. We feel Friday would be happiest in a lower-key lifestyle with someone who enjoys hacking, fun rides and dressage. While he has experienced jumping, it’s fair to say it isn’t his passion, so we would love to find him a home where he can enjoy the activities he truly thrives in.

  • Frank is a powerful little package. He has been backed by the best prof end of last year.
  • He is ready to put miles on him but obviously not for novice or nervous riders.
Fantastic Frank is sadly up for sale. He was supposed to be brought into work after winter but we lack a rider. .

He was professionally and sympathetic backed by the best producer in our area. Frank has proven to be easy to teach and retains easily what he has learned. He is however super green and not suitable for novice or nervous rider.

He will make in the future a super pony, with some serious speed and scope in him. I can see him as a perfect riding club /pony club horse and will be great for hunt and pleasure rides. He will stand with a rider on him at the block for 30 min without moving a foot. He is that hard to find sort.

He is sweet, loves attention and can be cheeky as his is after all a young horse. He is the favourite of our holiday let guests. Frank has one blue and one brown eye.

He loads like a pro and travels fine for the limited times we had to take him. Frank is good to clip and with the farrier. He is up to date with his teeth and vaccinations. Easy to catch. He hasn’t been lame or ill for the time we’ve had him.

I have loads of videos/ photos of Frank available from when he was backed and general photos.

For Sale on behalf of client - Lightening, 14.1 13 years gelding. CHAPS REG

A good sturdy pony! Tall, wide and like an armchair, rides bigger than he measures.

A true happy hacker, loves hacking and anything rural!

Mostly unflappable! Not so keen on rattly trailers but otherwise sound on the roads (manageable with rattly trailers)

He doesn’t enjoy flat work will tolerate it to warm up for jumping but the odd time in the school will grind to a halt, you can get going but can tell he’d rather not trot pretty circles although he’s super well schooled!

Loves jumping, great with canter poles, good corners and really pricks his ears for jumping especially rustic and out in fields! Cob with character ??

Needs to be around people who are experienced to remind him of his manners the odd time and knows the boundaries, he can sometimes forget!

Very laid back in the field
Has had legs clipped in the past but never had body clipped.
Bare foot
Good on the trailer
Full wardrobe available
Clean vet history and up to date with everything

Videos available

We purchased Bear last summer as a recently backed project for our teenage daughters to produce, both experienced riders. Over the last 10 months She has been very much part of our busy family and loved by everyone. Bear has been produced slowly and correctly with the support of professional riders. She is a kind, sensitive and affectionate pony - very un-mareish in her manner.

Bear hacks nicely in company and alone, has done lots of pony club rallies, hound exercising, fun rides, farm rides, arena hires and attended her first SJ competition where she produced 2 lovely clear rounds and placed in both classes. Bear also won her class at a recent hunter trial, qualifying for the hunter trial championships at Eland Lodge later this year.

Bear is still early in her ridden career so will need a knowledgable home in order to continue her education and achieve her full potential. We believe she will go very far with the right partner.

Bear has a Welsh pony brain, so can be nervous in new situations/ environments. She is never nasty - no kicking, biting, bucking, rearing or tanking off. She is handled regularly by younger children and has been ridden by novice family & friends. She is happy to live in or out (currently stabled at night, out during the day) and will live with mares or geldings.

She’s great to catch, load and is bare foot (good for farrier). We have only clipped her once and took our time, using quiet cordless clippers and she was a good girl.

We are all incredibly fond of Bear and are happy to wait in order to find her the perfect home and new best friend.

  • Enjoys affection and laid back

Looking for a first pony to join our family, preferably forever.
My son is a very nervous rider so still on lead rope but to be fair to him we don’t have the right one to get him off. He needs something very balanced and more whoa than go.
His relationship on the ground is just as important to him so a pony who loves affection.
Non spooky or sharp. Has done pony camp before and ok with an unbalanced rider which will love them too much.
We are part of pony club, have lovely hacking and fields and stables at home.
We can promise a loving and knowledgeable home. We have 3 other geldings at home.

Maggie cob is ready for her new home. She has a little Welsh Cob in her so a more athletic type of cob albeit still with the feather.

She was carefully broken in the New Year and has been ridden on mainly on her own but sometimes with company. Mud, water, steep banks are no issue. Been to a couple of little jumping shows and a fun ride where she was very well behaved and travelled fine.

She has a very honest willing attitude. Enjoys jumping although not spent time in the school as I don't have one.

Good to shoe and in the stable. She is fine in traffic although I don't live on a main road. Tractors and trailers are no problem. Doesn't buck, bolt or rear.

Would make a lovely mother daughter share as although a more athletic type of cob she is up to carrying an adult. Somebody will be very lucky to have her.
