Teddy is a charming young chestnut Welsh gelding looking for a knowledgeable home to continue his education. Having come into our care as a minimally handled colt, he has made lovely progress and is growing in confidence every day.

He is now good to catch, leads well, and enjoys being groomed – often leaning in for a scratch. As a young pony, Teddy will benefit from calm, consistent handling to help him continue building confidence. He is good with his feet and for the vet and farrier with reassurance, and is progressing well with loading.

Teddy lives in a gelding herd and would suit living with other young or tolerant horses who can match his playful nature.

  • Lives in a gelding herd

- Based at our Burford centre -

Memphis is a handsome rising 5-year-old gelding seeking a knowledgeable home where he can thrive and enjoy the company of other playful geldings.

As Memphis was castrated later in life, having the right environment is key to his success. With the appropriate yard set-up, he can happily live within a gelding herd and, in time, be around mares in a yard environment. He is currently turned out with a herd of geldings. He would suit a secure, well-fenced environment where he can feel settled, confident, and at ease.

Memphis is easy to catch, enjoys being groomed, and stands politely for his feet to be picked out. He has been well-mannered for both the vet and farrier, making him straightforward and pleasant to handle as part of daily routine care.

With consistent, sympathetic handling, Memphis is ready to restart his backing and ridden education. He has lovely potential as a future ridden project and could also make a super lead rein prospect. Lightly backed last summer and currently enjoying some time off, he is a fantastic blank canvas for someone who would enjoy producing a young horse and building a rewarding partnership from the ground up.

  • Wonderful Competition pony now needing a quieter life
  • Looking for long term home with adult rider
  • Lovely friendly boy
We are looking for the right home for our superstar family competition pony.

He has been a wonderful family friend with us for 7 years ridden by three daughter's and mum and competed at all levels, He would now like a quieter life although he is still healthy and active.

He loves to hack alone and in company and is 100% with all the traffic. I have trusted him to hack alone with my young teenage daughters on country lanes and tracks for miles over the Quantocks. He likes to be in front when hacking in company. He has done many fun rides and finds them very exciting if in a group.

He could still do low level training, clinics etc..

At competitions he lights up and despite his age is not a novice ride. But totally knows his job.

Sam is a wonderful cuddly character at home. He is adored by everyone.

However having been a competition pony he is not a complete dope on a rope. We are looking for the right experienced person to allow him time to settle in a new home.

Sam is best on a quiet yard, ideally with maximum turnout.

He has no vices good to catch, clip, shoe, vet and travel.

I would like to find a home within an hour of Taunton in the South West.

Whatapp for more details or please call if interested.

MARTIN (Brouwershaven Massive)

Dirkkushof Roos x Coelenhage's Purisio)

14.1, rising 7yo Dutch bred gelding.

This lovely pony has all the makings of an FEI contender. He has been beautifully trained so far in life, has a natural rhythm, balance and a good brain.

A sad but necessary sale on behalf of his owner who would love to see him in a lovely home.

He has qualified for the nationals this year at Novice level and is training, and has begun going out, at elementary.

He was bought over from the continent as a 4yo. Martin has super foundations on the flat, good transitions and a secure contact. He also enjoys hacking and has popped a few fences with us proving very willing and trainable.

Martin would suit a competent jockey (a dressage youth rider would go far with him), he is ridable and trainable but not for a novice.

Martin has also done modelling for catalogues in his spare time!

A special pony looking for a special home.

Open to vettings etc.

Meet Tommy, a cute pony who is looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Tommy would suit a home where he can retire with his other horsey friends.

Tommy is generally easy to handle once he is settled in his new environment. He does require some extra training in some areas so would suit an experienced home who can continue his education.

Tommy does require some restrictions, especially during the summer months so would suit a home with other ponies with similar grazing requirements. Once settled Tommy will stay alone for short periods of time, making him the perfect companion for a ridden horse or pony.

Can you offer Tommy a loving home?


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.
