  • Experienced calm hunting pony wanted
  • Must be safe and quiet
  • Experienced long term home awaits

We're looking for an experienced hunting pony to hunt on and off the lead rein (with a walker), and on and off the lead rein next to a horse. If it can do camp and rallies too this is a bonus but not a necessity.

Must be experienced with busy packs and not fazed by it. We are looking for woah over go, a steady Eddie best friend for a keen but nervous hunting boy.

12-13.2hh - gelding. 7yrs+

This is the first boy, with two children coming on behind him so we expect to keep the pony in the family until the end of its days. Experienced home near Badminton awaits.

Trial period as well as hunting references will be required, we can provide lots of references for ourselves.

Healthy budget for the right pony, or loan considered.

Whatsapp best contact method.

14.2 ~ Irish Sports Horse ~ 10yrs old

Mickey has been with us since the end of July 2025 and is only for sale as he has proven to be too much horse for our 11-year-old daughter.

He’s a truly stunning boy who has great confirmation. A true schoolmaster and responsive, forward ride. However, when jumping he does need a confident, stronger rider to keep him balanced and in check. For this reason he is not suited to a novice who just wants to jump and we feel it’s important to be honest to ensure the right match.

Mickey would be ideally suited to a confident teenager or adult. A rider with experience who is a capable jumper. Someone looking for a horse to concentrate on the flat and wants to hack as he can produce a beautiful dressage test and loves to hack.

He’s uncomplicated on the ground with lovely manners. Can be turned out alone or with mare/geldings. He will also hack alone. Recently been out on NYD hunt and behaved very well.

This is a difficult decision made purely to protect our daughter’s confidence. He deserves a rider who can enjoy and get the best out of him.

Genuine enquiries only.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth and regular physio

Fun all-rounder/pony club pony

  • Riding Pony
  • Grey
  • Gelding
  • 13 years
  • 13 hands
  • Will hack alone and in company
  • He is a great pony club pony attending lots of rallies and camps

Floyd, 13-year-old grey spotted pony, 13hh. For sale as sadly outgrown. He has been my daughter’s best friend for almost 5 years since she was 7. He’s is more of a childs second pony but having said that he took my daughter off the lead rein so could also suit a confident novice, but probably not a very nervous rider.

Good to catch, shoe, clip, load etc. Vaccinations, teeth, worming etc up to date. Always sound and never had laminitis though, he will put on weight easily. We use a muzzle to control this if needed.

Can be turned out with mares or geldings, a home with company is a must, he loves his friends.

Will hack alone and in company and safe in open spaces. Good with traffic but needs reassurance with big machinery and motorbikes. He will happily lead off another horse.

He is a great pony club pony attending lots of rallies and camps. He enjoys show jumping and has competed up to 70cm. He will jump 90cm happily at home, I think for competing, 70cm is around his comfortable limit. They are normally in the rosettes and qualified for the pony club mini champs this year. He is slightly green in cross country, I think with more practice he would excel here too. He will happily do some flatwork in the school but he is not really a dressage pony. He has never reared or bolted and does not buck. Hunted in previous home but but I would not recommend him as a hunter for a small child.

He is the type of pony who will step down for a confident novice but can also be lots of fun for a more capable rider.

Floyd is a real character and loves attention. He can sometimes lack manners on the ground, nothing nasty and he is easily managed but think he needs a home where an experienced adult is around to help a small child if needed.

He has a small lump on his left, lower eye lid which he has had since before we have had him and it’s never changed and doesn’t bother him. No other lumps and no sarcoids.

For sale (no loans) with full wardrobe for £5000 but open to near offers as a good home is of most importance for us.

13.2 5 year old Welsh sec B mare

Star is well mannered on the ground and ridden, very much an old head on young shoulders.

Schools lovely in all 3 paces, has a lovely rideable jump, safe to hack and has hacked around farm machinery , busy country lanes, has hunted and behaved impeccably, done cross country and arena eventing practice.

Star would exceed in a knowledgable showing home with more training and practice but is also safe, talented and sensible enough to make a lovely pony club alrounder.

She is snaffle mouthed, jumps and hunts in a snaffle and would be ridden in just a cavesson noseband and just don’t have one small enough for her.

Star is still green and therefore would be looking for a knowledgable home to produce her further, as she still has some improvements to be made under the saddle.

She can live in or out, with geldings or mares and tends to fall lower in the hierarchy and respects other horses.

Perfect for farrier (barefoot) vet, to be clipped.

Price will increase with the more she does, but currently asking for mid-high four figures.

More videos on request, breeding available on request aswell. Please no time wasters and homes will be vetted before sale.

Kalypso – 5-year-old 14.2hh Palomino Connemara Mare. Bred in Ireland.

Kind, safe and sensible mare looking for a knowledgeable home to continue her education. Professionally produced, slowly and correctly.

She is a gentle, patient and friendly type and with a real ‘old fashioned’ sensible temperament – making her a pleasure to have on the yard.

She is currently hunting with the Hamilton Bloodhounds, where she’s showing herself to be bold, brave and reliable across country. She’s also show jumping confidently around 80cm and works beautifully on the flat, with rhythm and balance well beyond her years. Unfazed by anything going on around her or asked of her.

Kalypso has a laid-back, genuine nature and has coped beautifully with beginners riding her. She enjoys her work, learns quickly, and takes new experiences in her stride.

She would be ideal for a competent teen or small adult wanting a talented all-rounder to produce further within a kind, experienced home.

This is a genuine, quality young mare with a bright future ahead — she’d excel in Pony Club, Riding Club or as a family all-rounder.

Lovely to handle, catch, box, shoe, clip and travel. Great in traffic, alone or in company – will go first or last.

  • This little chap has plenty of character and presence
Much-loved 12.2hh grey cob gelding looking for a 5Star knowledgeable home. This little chap has plenty of character and presence, please don’t let his size fool you.

He is bombproof in traffic and absolutely loves hacking. He is far happier out and about than in the school and would make a brilliant hunting or strong all-round hacking pony. He is good to load, excellent to clip and with farrier and is currently barefoot.

Honest description:
He does have quirks and therefore will not suit a novice, nervous rider, or young child. He can occasionally put in an odd buck and has a habit of pulling his head down, which could unseat an inexperienced rider. For this reason, he requires a confident, balanced, experienced rider who can ride him forward and give him regular, consistent work.

In the right hands he is a fantastic, fun little cob who enjoys his job and gives his rider a lot back. He is very strong for his size, so a competent adult or very strong teenager only.

He is very well loved and this is a genuine sale. A good home is absolutely essential and he will not be sold to just anyone.

Serious enquiries only

Open to offers

If you are experienced, confident, and looking for a small but mighty hacking or hunting pony with personality, he could be the one.

Oscar - grey gelding -15 years old - 14.3/15hh

Oscar is a much loved, gorgeous boy, who is for sale because as I’m going travelling. I’ve owned him for around eight years so this decision hasn’t been easy. So need to find him a new best friend and a very loving home.
Would suit a confident/experienced young Rider who wants to have fun with low level riding club activities like pony club. Would also suit a mother/daughter share. Isn’t a first pony or a novice ride.

Oscar loves hacking and going on adventures. Not phased by traffic or livestock.
Hasn’t hacked alone in a while, can be a little nappy alone but with someone who is confident enough to push him forward, should be good as gold.

He works very nicely in the school, has shown some beautiful dressage movements but wouldn’t say its his favourite thing to do. He gets quite lazy and can also test his rider and see what he can get away with, by chucking in a buck in there. Once shown he can’t get away with this then never puts a hoof out of place.

Oscar loves jumping, i’ve jumped here and there whilst owning him but I believe he did a bit with his previous owner. Has also done cross-country, hunted and showjumping courses with his previous owner.
He’s gone to a few show jump clinics with his current rider height around 60 to 70 cm, but he could go higher as he has previously.

Oscar is amazing to shoe clip and handle in every way on the ground and off.
Does get slightly nervous travelling and loading due to a scare in a trailer a few years back and hasn’t done a lot of travelling since. Although the last few times he’s been very good, quite nervous in the trailer and sweaty when arrives. Can’t imagine this would be a big issue if worked on as he was as good as gold travelling before.

He is one in 1 million horse. I’ve had such a fun time with him, so only want to send him to an honest and loving home. No time wasters please.

Freddie – 12hh Gelding, All-Round PC Superstar  17 years

The wonderful Freddie has been a true confidence-giver for us and is now ready to help his next rider shine. 

• Age/Height: 12hh gelding

• Games: Freddie has done Pony Club games and is perfect with all equipment, unfazed by ponies rushing past or into him. He isn’t keen on being pushed to race, though—he prefers a steady rhythm over lots of “stop-start” work.
• Temperament: Exceptionally chilled and kind, the ultimate confidence restorer.

Reason for sale: Our focus is now 80% games and we need a pony who loves the fast, bendy side of it. Freddie has more than done his job giving us our confidence back and deserves a new home where his talents will be enjoyed.
