Mother & Daughter Share / Teenager’s All-Rounder for Sale

Choc-Ice

18-year-old Gelding

14.3–15hh

Essex

It is with a very heavy heart that we offer our much-loved Choc-Ice for sale. He is the ideal mother and daughter share, while also being a fantastic first horse for someone stepping up from ponies or a small adult looking for a genuine all-rounder.

We have owned Choc-Ice for 14 years, buying him as a 4-year-old when I was just 11 years old. He took me from ponies to horses and, more recently, has spent the last 4½ years on full loan, where he has done exactly the same for his current rider, taking her from her first pony onto horses. Sadly, she is now heading off to university and, with a young baby, I am unable to take him back into work, so we have made the heartbreaking decision to find him the perfect next home.

Choc-Ice is a genuine all-rounder who loves having a job. He schools nicely on the flat, produces a lovely dressage test, and has regularly jumped 80–95cm courses. He has attended Pony Club regularly, enjoying rallies, camps, and a variety of activities. He loves hacking and is always safe doing so. He can be enthusiastic when jumping/XC, but he is never nasty or dangerous and always snaffle mouthed.

At 18 years old, he has a wealth of experience and still has plenty to offer. He would be perfect for a family wanting one horse to enjoy together—whether that’s Pony Club, lessons, beach Rides, competitions, hacking, or simply having fun.

He is good to shoe, box, clip, catch and is a pleasure to own. Choc-Ice has a cheeky, affectionate personality and is loved by everyone who meets him.

This is an incredibly difficult sale, and finding the right home is our absolute priority. We will only let him go to a loving, knowledgeable home where he will continue to be cherished.

Essex based. Sold with tack & Full wardrobe.

In October 2020, he had both hind suspensory ligaments denerved. He was successfully rehabilitated and brought back into work, and this has not affected him since - no further treatment/management has been required.

Please message for more information, medical history, photos, and videos.

• 15.2hh-16.2hh confidence giver. Sensible, kind & willing, suitable for a teen rider rebuilding trust
• Pony Club & XC ready. Varied work, PC activities, arena hires, XC schooling, Jn Tet.
• Experienced family home. References available. Horse will live on our North Yorkshire Family farm.

We are an experienced, knowledgeable family with excellent references and long history of producing and caring for horses. Our daughter (15) is a capable, committed rider who has persevered through a difficult year with a horse that has sadly knocked her confidence. She needs a horse that will give her something back-one she can trust, have fun with, and continue improving her riding.

She enjoys Pony Club, training sessions, arena hires, competing at spring festivals & area competitions within pony club and would love a horse that will happily go round a XC course or take part in Junior Tet. She is kind, patient and rides sympathetically.

What we can offer:

The horse will live on our quiet family farm in North Yorkshire where we have our own facilities, arena, stables, horse walker, all year turn out. The horse will receive exceptional care, routine and attention. We offer a loving stable environment with regular outings, training, and activities. The horse will be treated as part of the family.

We are happy to Loan, LWVTB, or purchase the right horse.

• Approx 15hh (Minimum Full Up 14.2hh, Up To 15.2hh) Age: 6 -13 yrs.
• Lightweight Cob / Native Or Similar Type
• Loving, Knowledgeable Family Home For The Right Horse - Happy To Keep In Touch

I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

• 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 is 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 is not an issue.

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

All leads will be handled with discretion. Please feel free to give me a call, drop me a WhatsApp or check out my Instagram page @theponysearchagent

• For hacking, low level dressage and fun rides
• Age 5 years +
• Kind family horse looking for home for life

I am looking for a kind genuine horse to be my best friend for hacking, low level dressage, fun rides and a yearly holiday to the beach. Home for life awaits on a small private yard where horses are treated as individuals. Experienced owner who can provide references and is happy to keep in contact.

The main priority is that my new horse is super safe to hack both alone and in company across the fields and out in traffic. I am looking to do some Novice Dressage but happy to put the work in. No vices and open to a vetting. Must be able to have a few days off without any drama.

Stable ready and waiting! Mid teens budget.

• 13hh - 15 2hh
• RDA centre needing LWVTB/Loan
• Temperament is more important than breed

We are looking for any breed for LWVTB as they will need to be trialled in our RDA environment before purchasing to see if they're suited to this lifestyle before a participant can ride them. This is as much for the ponies as the suitability for riders.

Must already be ridden and has to be over 5 yrs old (RDA rules). Can accept some quirks but must be safe for our disabled riders. They will also have to pass a stage 2 vetting which can be arranged whilst on loan.

We can offer a high standard of care, a light work load so older ages are acceptable if sound.

We have stables but they live out as much as possible even throughout winter. We can offer small herd/individual turnout.

If you would like to check out our RDA centre we are online and Facebook as Elisabeth Curtis Centre.

She loves hacking and is excellent in traffic, taking everything in her stride. She is also sensible in open spaces and doesn't get fizzy or strong, making her a confidence-giving hack.

• Connemara
• Grey
• Gelding
• 13 years
• 15hh / 153cm

• Tom — 15hh, 13yo Connemara Gelding
• An absolutely cracking, genuine and fun all-rounder
• The sort that is very hard to find

Tom is an absolutely cracking, genuine and fun all-rounder — the sort that is very hard to find. He truly is as close to a unicorn as you’ll come across.

An experienced pony with miles under his belt in all spheres, Tom would make a fantastic Pony Club or Riding Club partner, and would equally suit a working livery, college or riding school environment. He has competed successfully at numerous unaffiliated competitions and takes everything in his stride.

On the flat, Tom works nicely in the school with attractive, comfortable paces. He produces a flying change and is happy working both in a soft outline or on a looser contact. He has a lovely way of going and would look right at home in the hunter/jumper ring in the USA — an extremely cute and eye-catching type who also schools beautifully on the flat.

Tom thoroughly enjoys his jumping, both showjumping and cross-country. He is honest, bold and genuine, happily taking his rider to a fence without being spooky or sharp. He’s forgiving of a missed stride, looks after both himself and his rider, and gives confidence.

Out hacking, he is excellent in traffic and sensible to ride alone or in company, and super in open spaces.

He is also a lovely pony to have around the yard — affectionate, cuddly and kind, with excellent stable manners.

No vices.

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 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
