Louie
Black and white cob
Perfect kids pony

SUPER SUPER SAFE
KIND, LOVING, SUPERSTAR

Louie is the calmest, considerate, gentleman who always takes care of his riders. Ridden by tiny tots both on and off the lead rein.

He is literally push button, responding to the voice throughout all upwards and downwards gaits.
He responded to the leg and or voice super slowly and calmly, he responds to both leg and voice aids in a calm, steady manner, maintaining one consistent, relaxed pace.

Beautifully Mannered/Exceptionally Safe
He has tonnes of experience, ideal for a beginner, a nervous rider, or someone looking to progress and have fun. He’s steady, calm, and gentle in every way—super chilled but not a plod. Despite his quiet nature, he is responsive to the leg and offers three lovely, balanced paces. Kind and willing, he’ll happily turn his hoof to anything you ask of him. He jumps small courses, logs, and cross-country fences with ease, and works beautifully in walk, trot, and canter—comfortably performing figures of eight, three- and four-loop serpentines, and 20-metre circles both on and off the lead rein in a slow, steady, and relaxed rhythm.

He is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic pony for anyone to build up their confidence, learn to ride and continue to progress on.
Definitely a 1st and 2nd pony.

7yrs schoolmaster

Exceptional gelding with tonnes of experience for sale. He is a true kids pony who looks after the smallest of riders, he has spent the last 2 years in the same riding school where he has been ridden by complete novice, intermediate and advanced riders. He has done all flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he first started his riding school career. He is very genuine and loves to hack out, he doesn’t pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, he is the most loving gelding you could ever wish to meet, he is one of the favourite with our SEN children, he participates in all our RDA lessons, hacks and stable management sessions.
Louie loves to jump a course of small coloured and rustic fences.


Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and has brilliant manners enabling the tiniest tot to handle him safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed.

He has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy schoolmaster, with no ifs or buts.

Louie will hack out alone or in company in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eye lid. He is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of whether he is at the front or back of the ride or on his own, he will not rush or pull even on the way home.

This pony is simply one in a million, he is one of our main RDA ponies, where he is ridden in the paddock, across open fields and roads by riders with mild to severe learning requirements he will stand at a mounting block for hours if required, he is absolutely not phased at all by extremely loud noises, shouting and screaming, riders waving their arms and swinging their legs, even dismounting whilst he is moving, he simply stops immediately.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

He is stabled during the day and out at night within a mixed herd, he equally happy to be stabled or turned out full time, he keeps himself to himself and never causes any trouble despite being out with a large mixed herd.
He isn’t clingy in any way and is happy being stable and or turned out solo.

He is currently barefoot he has excellent manners with the farrier and could be shod if needed, he ties up anywhere, and loves attention.
He is excellent to catch, with the farrier, dentist bath, load, travel, clip.

Louie would give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily compete at riding club level, fun/beach rides.

He can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, he is extremely low maintenance, he maintains his weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
He has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch or sarcoids, no lumps or bumps whatsoever.

In the past 2yrs I can honestly say he has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, he has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible pony, with so much to offer.

Louie is Truly one in a million and really can’t be missed.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around about every 2 years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again.

We have other horses and ponies available for viewings.

Striking Connemara Schoolmaster

  • Connemara

  • Gelding

  • Competed Novice Dressage
  • Loves to sj and xc
  • Done camps, fun rides, clinics.

Tartan Rocket (Piglet) is a striking sporty full-bred connemara gelding. He is an excellent stamp of a pony, very nicely put together with good feet and clean limbs. Being cremello in colour he has the classic pink skin and two beautiful blue eyes helping to turn heads where ever he goes!

'Piglet' is very nicely schooled and has competed up to Novice Dressage in his previous home. He works into a correct, soft outline and is nicely off the leg without being sharp. He has lots of potential between the white boards and would make a lovely schoolmaster for someone wanting to be competitive BD or even unaffiliated.

Piglet also loves to jump. He is straight and honest to a filler and is always snaffle mouthed. He takes you to a fence but isnt strong. He has also been XC schooling which he enjoys.

Piggy is currently owned by an amateur lady who has had so much fun with him. He regularly attends dressage lessons, clinics and arena hires, travelling quietly by himself in the trailer. He has been on loads of fun rides and he has also been to adult camps, always proving to be impeccably well behaved. He loves to hack and is brilliant in traffic.

Piglet would be a super competitive pony for an ambitious teen or a small adult. We feel he could excel in any sphere. He would be a very competitive BD pony, but he also loves to jump and would be a fantastic all-rounder or grassroots event pony for BE or Cotswold Cup.

He has a fabulous kind and lovable temperament. Very easy to look after and doesnt need work everyday. Not sharp, no vices. Very sad sale of this lovely pony due to owners other commitments.

Currently on sales livery with Holly Bradshaw Eventing (Worcestershire).

Super confidence-giving 138 winning machine who is always in the ribbons. SpongBob is a 13.2hh Stepping Stones/Bronze league (70/80/90 pony) who just loves to win and is always in the ribbons. He is 20 this year, a total schoolmaster and has brought confidence to so many riders, he is now available to teach his next rider the ropes.

SpongBob has taught my daughter how to ride a serious jump off as well as give her the confidence to progress form a total confidence loss to winning BS competitions. Together they have had many successes, including 3rd in the Pony Club New Forest show, won the summer championships at GW Equestrian, won BS Stepping Stone classes, placed in multiple derbies, qualified for the 75cm and 85cm NSEA Hickstead finals both in 2025 and for 2026. Their first show of this year gained a 2nd in the 80cm and 3rd in the 90cm at the weekend.

He had a history of wins with his previous riders, including Winner of the NSEA Individual Championship, 3rd in the 138 Stepping Stones final at the British Showjumping National Championships, 6th at the Cats and Pipes Final at Scope, winner of the West Midlands Bronze League, winner of the 80cm and 90cm at the Winter Championships of Great Britain at Cricklands and a member of the winning Mini Team at the Academy Teams at the National Championships. He has done it all.

He goes off any stride and helps his rider out and always tries his best as he genuinely loves his job. Fast against the clock and prepared to put in the turns for the win, this pony can teach your child how to jump off and also how to become a winner whilst bringing lots of confidence at the same time.

Has done lots of Pony Club, Arena Eventing and Cross Country in previous homes most of whom we are in touch with and all of whom come and watch!

He can be slightly lazy at home but loves being at competitions. He’s perfect to build a starter's confidence and he is happy to take your jockey round a national championship jump off or take them over 30cm or 90cm at home bareback. He is also patient to be mounted, slow if you want to go slow, never barges and is always polite.

Very, very good to hack, shoe, load and clip. Lots of mileage to do so much more and has never been over jumped or overworked. The right home is imperative. Comes with saddle, bridle and full wardrobe. Lots and lots of videos on request. No requests for loan or lease please.

Very smart 14.1hh, rising 15 year old, New Forest, gelding.

Raffles is well schooled and an easy ride on the flat with well established lateral work.

He does however, prefer life outside of the arena and in his previous home has done lots of hacking both on and off road as well as on the beach. Recently he has proven himself to be a hugely enjoyable hack on the New Forest. This is something that he absolutely loves and he will be a great fit for someone wanting to do lots of off road hacking.

He is a super reliable jumper who is completely unfazed by the spookiest of fillers, water trays, steps, ditches or water. Has Evented and done lots of SJ and arena XC.

Has also hunted regularly in Jersey.

Great to catch, shoe, clip, in all the traffic we have met with him and loads and travels well on any lorry or trailer.

For sale as completely outgrown by his previous rider who has now moved onto horses.

The right home for Raffles is an absolute priority. He is true to his breed type in that he is a big personality and can be a cheeky chap on occasion. Has been know to throw in the occasional big buck when excited. Because of this, he is not suitable for a young child or inexperienced home. Best suited to a confident teenager or small adult rider who wants to kick on and have lots of fun hacking, jumping and/or hunting.

5* perfect and ideally permanent home is an absolute priority.

£5000- price is open to discussion for the right person. His owners are also happy to discuss the option of a long term loan home, or loan WVTB if it is the absolute perfect match of home and rider. The priority is that Raffles finds a permanent and loving home. All homes will be thoroughly vetted and references required.

Looking for a new home for lovely Ladybird. Will make adult or teenager’s best friend. Mother/daughter share. Really takes up the leg.

Ladybird has been there and done it all. For sale as hopelessly outgrown and we now have our new 14.2hh.

Never bucks, rears or bolts. Responsive and forward but never strong. Very well behaved under saddle. Loves hacking alone or in company. Loves a good splash in the water. Loads and travels alone and in company fine. Can live in or out year round. Has lived out happily with mares and geldings here with us. Great for farrier, clip, dentist. Shod in front. Up to date with everything. Never seen her refuse a jump but it’s not her passion.

We think she would best suit a dressage/showing/hacking home which she really enjoys in equal measure! She is a one person or mother/daughter share pony.

Snaffle mouth. Price includes Kent and Masters saddle, bridle and rugs.

She can nap for an absolute beginner so we’d describe her as a 1.5 pony. Also her demeanour when she is ridden by a more competent rider is much happier and she loves to be ridden properly and show her self off!

OIRO £5500 - we are open to reasonable offers as a 5* home is of the utmost importance to us.

Excellent trial facilities in Lower Withington, Cheshire. Lots of videos available on request. Open to vetting.

Absolutely no dealers, joy riders or time wasters please. This is absolutely heartbreaking for our family and we are looking for her new best friend.
