  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 8 years
  • 13hh / 133cm
  • Companion pony
  • Sweet natured
  • Easy to handle

Meet Merlin, a handsome native gelding looking for a loving new home where he can enjoy life as a much loved non-ridden companion.

Merlin is a lovely, straightforward pony who enjoys human interaction and a good groom. He is easy to catch, leads nicely and is well behaved for everyday handling, including having his feet picked out. He has also been good for the vet and farrier, making him a pleasure to care for.

Merlin currently lives out 24/7 with another gelding but has previously lived happily within a mixed herd. He is also comfortable being stabled with company, making him suitable for a variety of home setups.

He is currently on a weight loss programme and will require good restricted grazing and careful weight management in his new home to support his ongoing progress and long-term health.

This sweet boy would make a wonderful addition to a home seeking a friendly, easy-going companion pony who has plenty of love to give.

  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 2 years
  • 12hh / 122cm
  • Future Project
  • Cob Youngster

Buddy is a sweet young gelding with a lovely nature and plenty of potential. He is still finding his feet in his foster home, but is growing in confidence all the time and beginning to show his affectionate personality, particularly when enjoying a good scratch!

As Buddy is still settling into his new surroundings, he can occasionally be a little unsure during handling. He is learning the basics of leading, catching and having his feet handled, and is making encouraging progress with gentle, consistent training. He can be a little hesitant at first, but with patience and reassurance, we hope his confidence will continue to blossom.

Buddy currently lives happily alongside another young gelding and, having been recently castrated, will require suitable gelding companionship. He also has a condition known as locking stifles, which has been assessed by a vet and is expected to improve as he grows and develops. Living out with plenty of opportunity for movement is particularly beneficial for him.

Buddy is looking for a knowledgeable, patient home where he can continue his education at his own pace. With the right guidance, understanding and plenty of kindness, this lovely youngster has the potential to become a rewarding and much-loved non-ridden companion.

  • Kids pony

Meet Ferb, a lovely young native gelding looking for an experienced and understanding home where he can continue his education and develop into a wonderful future project pony or a small companion pony.

Ferb is still relatively new to Blue Cross care and is gradually finding his feet in his foster home. With patience, consistency and positive experiences, we hope to see his confidence continue to grow.

Ferb is currently working on his basic handling skills, including leading, grooming and having his feet picked up. He would benefit from a knowledgeable home that can offer him the time and reassurance he needs, without rushing his progress.

Ferb currently lives out 24/7 with another gelding and is also happy being part stabled. He will require gelding companionship in his new home.

We are looking for someone with experience of youngsters who can provide Ferb with a positive start to his future education, allowing him to mature at his own pace before exploring his potential as a ridden pony when he is older.

  • Inquisitive character

Squid is a lovely teen Welsh mare looking for a patient, understanding home where she can continue to build her confidence and enjoy life as a much-loved non-ridden companion.

Squid is currently working on developing her confidence with everyday handling and new experiences. Although she still has areas of her training to work on, we are optimistic about her future and would love to find someone who enjoys building a positive relationship with their pony.

Squid would benefit from a calm, consistent routine and an experienced, sympathetic handler who can give her the time and reassurance she needs to progress at her own pace.

We are hopeful that, with the right home and continued support, Squid will blossom into a rewarding little companion. She is looking for someone who can see her potential and enjoy the journey with her.

  • 13hh / 133cm
  • Companion pony
  • Sweet gelding
  • Needs a quiet settled home

Conker is a sweet, timid gelding who is looking for a loving forever home as a companion only. Having arrived into our care from the RSPCA in August 2026, Conker is now ready to find someone who can give him the time, patience and understanding he needs to truly come out of his shell. He can be worried when it comes to catching, but thrives when positive reinforcement is used and will benefit from a calm, consistent approach.

Conker is currently living out in a mixed herd, but he is equally happy to part stable. He would suit a quiet, settled home where he can build a trusting relationship and form a special bond with his handler. 

For the right person, Conker could be a very rewarding pony to get to know and watch grow in confidence.

Frankie is a handsome gelding looking for a peaceful, loving home where he can enjoy his retirement as a much-loved companion. Frankie is a sweet, sensitive little chap who is making lovely progress with his confidence and handling. He enjoys a calm, reassuring approach and is gradually learning to trust new people and experiences. With a little patience and consistency, Frankie has lots of potential to develop a wonderful bond with his new person.

He is continuing to build his confidence with everyday activities, including leading, grooming, having his feet picked out and visits from the vet and farrier. Frankie would thrive with someone who enjoys spending quality time with their ponies and can offer him gentle, consistent handling to help him flourish.

Frankie currently enjoys living outdoors with a companion and gets along well with his equine friends. He would love a settled home with plenty of companionship, a familiar routine and someone who can give him the individual attention he enjoys. Best suited to live with geldings.

Frankie has so much to offer the right home and would be a rewarding little pony for someone who enjoys building a special bond. If you have a quiet, welcoming home and a little time to invest in his confidence, Frankie could be the perfect addition to your paddock!

Bambi is a very sweet, intelligent mare who is looking for a home as either a project pony or a companion. She is a kind natured pony who enjoys human interaction and loves being groomed. Bambi is good to catch and have her feet picked out. She is also well behaved for both the vet and farrier. She does occasionally need some reassurance so would benefit from an experienced handler to continue her training.

Bambi currently lives with another mare, but has previously lived within a mixed herd, settling well alongside other horses. She is happy living out 24/7 or being part stabled, making her adaptable to a variety of home set ups.

  • All British Novice and Discovery double clears for 2027
  • Priced to sell OR Local lease or loan possible south Oxfordshire

148cm skewbald gelding 12 years. Mango has spent much of his life as a mother’s hack, and low level all rounder. Recently discovered to have great potential as a competition Pony..

Change in circumstances means we are selling him prematurely. We have been investing in his flat work and building his experience and Jumping record in British show jumping . He hacks really well and goes cross country!

Fantastic all round Pony now for someone to take on and get the best out of him ..

He has all his double clears for British Novice and discovery, currently jumping blue chip qualifiers . Low BS points- Very athletic and will be an absolute winner …

As 12 year-old he’s had extremely low mileage and we are only just uncovering what he has to offer. We would prefer a knowledgeable home that can take him forward and realise this potential, rather than a novice rider.. even though he’s not a difficult ride .

Realistic price for someone who would like to take all this potential and have a ton of fun. He’s absolutely ready to go and we are genuinely very disappointed not to be doing this ourselves.

Would consider a loan/lease depending on rider, he must stay on at our Nettlebed yard in South Oxfordshire. in this case, he would remain with current coach and management and rider to join our Jumping team to do British showjumping.

14.2 Showjumper & Mother's Dream - For Loan

  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 15 years
  • 14.2hh / 148cm
  • 90cm/1m Schoolmistress
  • Wiltshire Based
  • 5* Home Only

Belle has been in our family for eight years. Bought from Ireland as a green 7yo, she has done nothing but impress.

Belle has a successful showjumping record up to 1.20m internationally but in the last few years has enjoyed an easier life with Pony Club and NSEA Showjumping.

Recent results include: a clear at the PC Championships finishing 13th individually out of 116 entries, an 8th individually at PC Area Showjumping & 3rd with the team, qualifying for the Championships, and winning the qualifier to reach the Pony Club Spring Festival in which she finished 3rd from 80 entries.

Belle is the kindest, most gentle and easy going pony there is. She knows her job inside and out and will always look after her rider. We feel she is happy now at 90cm/1m and would make the perfect school mistress for someone to learn and have a lot of fun with.

Great to do in every way; hacking, catching, loading, clipping, farrier etc. Good to hack in traffic and open fields - we really couldn't fault her and this special pony will only go to a 5* home.

**Novice Welsh Cob Stallion Available for Lease**

An exciting prospect for an ambitious rider, this quality Welsh Cob stallion has been professionally backed and brought on this year. He is now ready for someone to take him further. He shows promise over jumps as well as on the flat, and would make a fabulous M&M working hunter.

Already successful in hand, he recently attended his first ridden show, where he was placed and impressed with his manners and potential.

By the late great, Glanvyrnwy Temptation, he has exceptional breeding and the traditional stamp that is increasingly hard to find. For someone with HOYS ambitions, this is an opportunity to bring on a promising stallion without buying outright.

Available **for lease only**. He can remain at his current yard near Macclesfield, Cheshire, if preferred. Please get in touch for further details; terms to be agreed.

Dycott Golden Pearl

Dycott Golden Pearl is a lovely 6-year-old, full-up 13.2hh mare , offered for new 🏠 as she is sadly wasted with her current rider (me) she is too talented to just be a family pony! Deserves a rider who will take her out and compete her.

Pearl is well schooled and has already done British Dressage as well as some Pony Club activities. She hacks both alone and in company, is good in traffic, and is a comfortable, genuine ride.

She is not a novice ride — Pearl can be spicy and has plenty of character — so she needs a confident, capable rider to bring out the best in her. She is not particularly marish, she isn't sharp, but she can chuck a buck in when excited ! loves cuddles and attention, and is generally a sweetheart, although she can be a little sassy

• Well schooled for her age

• Has done Pony Club activities

• Hacks alone and in company

• Good in traffic

• Good to load and clip

• Good to handle in all ways

• Up to date with vaccinations, teeth and routine care

• Comfortable ride with plenty of scope for a competitive home

Pearl is looking for an experienced, confident home where she can continue her education and be out competing. No novices, please.

Videos and further photos available on request. Genuine enquiries only; viewings and independent vetting welcome.

Rare opportunity to lease a top LR/FR/WHP

  • Top class schoolmaster type
  • Absolutely loves her job and would be a HOYS winning quality LR/FR/jnr or open ridden.

Swan is a top class schoolmaster type pony, she is beautifully put together with a beautiful front, excellent conformation and movement.

We sold her back mid 2023 to a superb home in Scotland for a super nervous child to be a first ridden pony and she fulfilled that job 10x over. She wasn’t shown on the county circuit (due to their location) but was shown locally and won hundreds of red rosettes and sashes. Unfortunately the young girl outgrew her and I was offered her back and jumped at the chance to purchase her back for my little boy.. with my little boy only being 1, he’s still got two years until he can ride in the ring and therefore it would be a shame to waste her as a play pony at home when she can teach another little child in the mean time.

She absolutely loves her job and would be a HOYS winning quality LR/FR/jnr or open ridden. She’s also been around full sets of worker fences and would make a super prospect for the HOYS junior or open worker tracks.

She has been to pony club, dressage and SJ and just loves to have a job- however at this time I’m only looking for a top show home/working hunter home so I will not consider a PC home OR breeding home sorry.

Swan is excellent to do in every way, and you don’t know you have her. I’m not a mare person at all, but I love her so much hence I’ve brought her back. She is currently down with Sam Roberts to bring into work and school. Completely snaffle mouthed.

A proven 10* home with excellent references would be required as well as a substantial lease fee with a signed agreement.

She will be available from the end of November onwards to allow us time to get her back in show condition.

  • 12 years

  • beautiful both inside and out
  • Talented dressage pony
  • Loves to hack

Ruby has been a great pony for us and is only for sale as moving onto horses.

Fantastic dressage pony for someone looking to move up the levels alongside her. We've competed her unaffiliated and she never comes home without a rosette. She has previously been BD registered although this is something she has not pursued with us.

She loves to hack, not spooky and is happy to go alone.

She is a talented jumper, but it's not her preference and she can get strong when doing this so we think she would be best suited to someone looking for a talented, loving pony to enjoy in the white boards.

We adore her, and will be devastated to see her go but with exams approaching unfortunately it is not realistic to keep 2. Homes will be vetted, she will not go to just anyone. Finding Ruby the right home is more important than anything so price could be negotiated to the right home.

She is a forward going mare who enjoys her job, so experienced riders only please.

She has some medical history that is being fully disclosed in order to find her the best home.

Please whatsapp for more information / videos :)

  • loving home awaits
  • Good budget for the right pony
  • Life long home on private yard

Seeking my next perfect pony! Must haves between - 14 h and 15.2h, between - 6 and 17

Ideally to be within 2 and a half hours of Derbyshire. Would consider going further for the perfect one !

MUST be safe around traffic , farm machinery , farm animals ( as I live on a farm )

Would be doing happy hacking , schooling , fun rides , local shows - flat showing and dressage.

All year round turn out on private land , living with a Connie gelding and mini Shetland gelding ( can be in separate field)

Massive stables roughly 4 times bigger than an average one ! videos and pictures can be provided

Lots of land to hack around.

My preferred breed is a chunky Connemara type just because I love the breed so much , but would consider something else that fits the bill !

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 a 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 so I can get confidence back for this reason I wouldn't want anything super young and green.

more woah than go type

I would prefer no health issues but if it's something slight I will consider.

more must haves are good loading , good for farrier , dentist , for leading and for the vet.

I have had weekly dressage lessons and then monthly lessons with jumping and spent a lot of time hacking ,before my accident. I have had horses for many years and was a competent rider until my accident where I lost confidence and i haven't ridden regularly for a while now , which is why its very important my next pony is safe and willing to help me get back into it.

I am aware this is a lot to ask for but I know somewhere they must be one for me :) genuine 10 star home awaits thanks !
