• 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
• Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

Walter - 14.3hh, 7 Years, Gelding. Stunning Coloured Dun Cob. Massive Weight Carrier

Safe Confidence Giver
Ideal First Horse / Nervous Rider / RDA
Fantastic All-Rounder / Happy Hacker / Schoolmaster Type

Walter is a kind, well-mannered and exceptionally genuine cob with a fantastic temperament and a wealth of experience. He is the definition of safe, steady and sensible, making him the ideal confidence giver for nervous, novice or less experienced riders, whilst still being enjoyable and responsive enough for a more capable rider wanting to progress and have fun.

Stunning unique coloured cob

Although incredibly calm and forgiving, Walter responds well off the leg and has three excellent paces, he moves beautifully with energy and enthusiasm when asked. He is never spooky, sharp or silly in any way, remaining relaxed and level headed at all times. He is extremely willing and enjoys jumping, happily popping around coloured and rustic fences with a quiet, sensible attitude.

A true snaffle-mouth schoolmaster with no gadgets required.

Walter is currently working in a riding school where he is ridden 3 / 4 days a week by riders of all abilities, from complete beginners on the lead rein, nervous riders and RDA clients through to more experienced jockeys. He takes part in flatwork lessons, private lessons, group sessions, low-level jumping and dressage classes, always proving himself genuine, patient and reliable.

He absolutely loves hacking and is one of the safest horses imaginable out on the roads or in open spaces. He hacks alone or in company and is equally happy at the front, middle or back of the ride. He never pulls, rushes, naps or becomes strong and remains calm and collected in even the busiest environments.

Walter is completely unfazed by extremely heavy traffic including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors, trailers and farm machinery. Nothing bothers him. He is equally mannerly and sensible across open fields and will happily canter in company without getting strong or excitable, even on the way home.

On the ground, Walter has impeccable manners and is an absolute pleasure to handle. He will happily stand for hours being groomed without even needing a headcollar on. He has no vices whatsoever in the stable, field or when ridden and is safe and easy for anyone to handle.

He lives out happily in a mixed herd but is equally content stabled. He keeps himself to himself and never causes any trouble. He is excellent to catch, load, clip, shoe, bath and for the farrier, dentist and vet. Currently barefoot with excellent feet.

Walter would happily turn his hoof to hunting, fun rides, beach rides, riding club activities, low-level eventing or showjumping. He is the sort that gives his rider complete confidence whatever the activity. In his previous home has did low level competitions and Pony club.

He does not need riding every day and can happily have weeks / months off work then be tacked up and ridden away without fuss. He is extremely low-maintenance and straightforward to keep.

He has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any lameness issues. No lumps, bumps or blemishes.

He passes annual riding school licence inspections, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

A genuinely heartbreaking sale of a much-loved horse, only available as we are reducing numbers due to the riding school becoming extremely quiet.

Five-star private home only for this outstanding gelding.

We have several other horses and ponies available as we continue to reduce numbers. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

If genuinely interested, please CALL rather than text or email, as messages cannot always be replied to immediately.
WHATSAPP MESSAGES WELCOME.

Located in Stockport, Cheshire, SK2.

• 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.

• Bargain price for her quality
• Badminton Grassroots prospect

Smart, talented and genuinely competitive mare ready to go out this season and be very competitive at BE Grassroots level. Currently an extremely capable BE90 horse with plenty of scope and ability to progress further in the right hands.

Showjumped successfully to Discovery (1m) on a day ticket and ready to step up to Newcomers (1.10m). Careful, genuine and very forgiving to a fence, happily taking a miss and jumping confidently from any stride. Brave and straightforward with fillers, water trays and natural obstacles.

Bold, adjustable and highly rideable cross-country. Always ridden in a snaffle and happily takes on technical questions and bigger tracks with confidence.

Produces consistently competitive dressage scores with an established flying change.

Previously pony clubbed and competed in NSEA eventing.

Hacks alone and in company. Easy to handle and a pleasure to have on the yard.

Would suit a competent, ambitious amateur or competitive teen rider wanting a quality horse to go out and win on. Not a novice ride purely due to her quality, ability and competitive nature. Can be sensitive to a wobbly, nervous rider. She is priced accordingly due to being in an unaffiliated home her whole life, so limited competition record.

Super smart, 8 yo 15.3hh bright bay gelding. Very striking looks, he’s a real head turner wherever he goes.

Bought from his breeder, so full history known.

He really loves to impress on the flat and combines exceptional movement, correct, Alan Ed uphill lift and has an exceptional walk. He is very nicely established, responsive and has a good understanding with rein back, lateral work half pass all good and started changes.

He has progressed from prelim to Elementary with many wins along the way. Placed Pet Plan Area Festival Novice, and 4th BD Regioanal Winter Championships. he is now competing Ellmentary, has won FSM and qualified Summer regionals. He currently has 72 BD points but has competed FSM a lot. He is one of the most rewarding horses I have ever ridden on the flat.

Showjumping he has enjoyed many successes, competed up to 1m. He has qualified BE Arena Eventing Champs and ACE finals.

He loves XC, placed consistantly British Eventing 80 and BE90, inc BE80 Championships, qualified BE90 regional finals.

At home he hacks out alone or in company. He is good to do with in every way. He is one of the kindest, lovable horses I have ever owned.

This has been a very difficult decision, he must only go to a 5* knowledgable home and please serious enquiries only. No texts.

• 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

A genuinely kind and straightforward 14.3hh 5-year-old Connemara gelding with a lovely temperament and an old head on young shoulders. While he may not be the flashiest and definitely isn’t the scopeiest, but he more than makes up for it with his exceptionally calm and unflappable nature (even when his rider isn’t).

Imported from Ireland, he has been well started and correctly produced. He has hunted, attended training shows, and has been cross country schooling, taking everything in his stride. He is brave, willing, and enjoys his work without becoming sharp or silly.

This is a horse that truly stands out for his temperament. He has been ridden here by young children (including tackless canters!) and has proven to be incredibly genuine and forgiving, making him an ideal candidate for a mother/daughter share, a younger rider coming off ponies, or an older rider looking for a safe and enjoyable partner.

He is easy to handle on the ground, with no known vices, and is a pleasure to have around the yard. Imported with a five-stage vetting.

A much-loved gelding who deserves a knowledgeable, kind home where he can continue to be enjoyed.

• Connemara
• Grey
• Gelding
• 17 years
• 15 hands

• Enjoyed a successful eventing career
• He works beautifully on the flat
• He has a wonderful laid-back temperament

Safe pair of hands, and looking for a slower pace, we have owned Robbie for 5 years, daughter now at Uni and it’s time to find him a loving home.
He is a wonderful schoolmaster having enjoyed a successful eventing career (Eques Junior BE record) and would make an ideal mother daughter share. He placed 5th at Pony Club Regionals 2022 (Auchlishie).
He’s good to hack alone or in company, no bucks rears or turns. Over the last couple of months he has returned to work following superficial tendon injury, fully signed off by vet.

A fantastic hack alone or in company and brilliant with all traffic. He works beautifully on the flat, with three balanced uphill paces so would be a great candidate for some lower level dressage. He is used to busy competition environments and would be a dream to take out to things like Pet Plans Dressage.

Robbie is very polite and mannerly both on the ground and during his ridden work. He has a wonderful laid-back temperament but wouldn’t suit a novice rider, as he needs someone knowledgeable. He has always been stabled overnight and would need managed turnout.

Finding Robbie the right person is more important than price, please get in touch if you feel you could give him a good home. He has been advertised for a few months now and price is negotiable for the right home.

Robbie requires restricted grazing, please do not get in contact if this is something you can’t manage.
