• Fleabitten grey
• Gelding
• 19 years
• 14hh / 143cm

• Pony club superstar
• XC machine
• Kind and gentle

14h, 19 years young Connie. Very sadly outgrown.

King is a pony club super star, competing at SJ and eventing and coming home with ribbons every time. He’s done many regional champs in both disciplines and is always placed at or near the top. In the last 2 years, he’s taken our daughter from 50-60cm local classes on her old pony to her dream of competing at BE - placed in top 10 in every competition they’ve entered, always double clear. King is an absolute machine out XC and a safe pair of hands, always an absolute professional when out at events. He’s done camps, national hunter trial champs, Spring Festival champs, inter-hunt relay, hound exercising, fun rides etc.. there really isn’t anything he hasn’t done and done well at! Dressage is not his favourite thing to do, and unfortunately not his rider’s either, but is scoring low to mid 30’s in eventing dressage.

Quirks: King is good to hack and does so regularly - but he doesn’t like tractors (weirdly, never bats an eye lid at anything else!). He does crib on fences & stable doors if given the opportunity - this has never affected his health. He has arthritis, managed with yearly steroid injections (currently up to date with these).

King is up to date with teeth, vacc, physio, saddle fitter etc and will come with his tack. He’s fit and competing most weekends currently. ready to have fun with his next owner.

This pony is VERY special and we are looking for the very best home, someone who has experience of looking after older ponies and who is happy to keep on top of their maintenance is essential. My daughter is now 15 years old and 5ft 4”, so he’d be ideally suited to a slightly smaller but capable rider who is looking to progress through the levels and gain confidence with a very experienced pony. King is comfortable at 80cm and will happily pop around the odd 90, but that is his limit.

• Full Up 14.2 - 15.2hh. Age 6 -14 yrs.
• Confident Hacking Out / Meeting Farm Vehicles. Sensible To Hack In A Group / At Pleasure Rides.
• Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type.

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.

• Genuine, kind, safe and confidence-giving
• Proven 70-90cm NSEA, BS, Pony Club and POYS
• Impeccable manners at shows, camps and stay-aways, completely reliable ,

Timmy is a truly special (life measured) 138cm pony who has been everything we hoped for and more.

He has given our daughter the confidence, mileage and success to progress beyond our expectations and is only for sale because she has had a huge growth spurt and is now looking too tall for him.

Timmy is the ultimate confidence-giving competition pony with the experience of a seasoned campaigner combined with the kindest, calmest temperament. He has taken our daughter from her early 70cm rounds to confidently competing in NSEA, Pony Club and British Showjumping.

Highlights include:

* NSEA Addington Championships 2025 – Team 6th place.

* Qualified for the Pony of the Year Show 80cm Grand Championships.

* Qualified for the Pony of the Year Show 90cm Grand Championships.

* Qualified for the Stepping Stones Final (for August 2026).

* Qualified for the 138cm Bronze League Final (for August 2026).

He has travelled extensively with us to stay-away shows, championships and Pony Club camps, where he has always behaved impeccably. He loads and travels beautifully, settles immediately away from home and is completely relaxed in busy show environments.

Timmy is easy in every way to handle (by children) and is genuinely one of the kindest ponies to have around the yard. He has the experience of a top competition pony but the temperament of a family pony, making him a dream.

He has a lovely balanced canter, established flying changes and has competed in showjumping and arena eventing with us. We have schooled xc which he absolutely loves. Whilst he has excelled in the showjumping ring, he equally loves hacking, XC, Pony Club activities and a varied life. He hacks happily alone or in company (roads annd fields) and genuinely enjoys getting out and about.

Timmy is ideal for a rider progressing from around 70cm upwards, whether their ambitions are NSEA, Pony Club, Triathlon Showjumping or simply having a safe, fun and competitive best friend. He appreciates a rider who keeps their leg on but he is honest, genuine and always wants to help his rider.

This is an incredibly difficult sale as we adore him, but he has simply been completely outgrown. We would love to find Timmy another family where he can continue enjoying the varied life he thrives on.

Please get in touch to have a chat— we will look for references as a 5⭐️ home is required for this adorable pony. 5-figure price is reflective of experience and temperament as he is one of a kind.

• Welsh Section C
• Chestnut
• Gelding
• 10 years
• 13.1hh / 135cm

• Beautiful mover with a bold jump
• Fun, forward going pony that loves to be doing a job
• Handsome boy who loves to show off with great breeding - Synod & Menai lines

A handsome, eye-catching boy with flashy paces who absolutely loves to show off. He thrives on having a job to do and enjoys being the centre of attention.

No novices. Stan would suit a competent teenager or small adult who enjoys a forward-going, fun ride and appreciates the typical cheeky Welsh personality.

Stan has successfully competed with me in both ridden and in-hand showing, achieving 2nd at County level and qualifying for the NPS Champs. As a youngster (before being backed/me owning), he was consistently successful in the show ring. Since then, he has competed in WH, SJ & dressage, as well as cross-country schooling, which he absolutely loved.

He has a bold, careful jump and naturally takes you confidently into a fence. I genuinely think he is made to jump! I was pursuing WH but circumstances changed.

On the flat, he has lovely established schooling and eye-catching movement, but he does need a rider who understands how to continue his education.

Stan hacks both alone and in company. He can occasionally be nappy at the beginning of a ride, so he needs a confident rider who won’t be fazed, but once going he’s a pleasure. He’s happily hacked through woods, rivers, open fields, over logs and banks, on busy roads with lorries and buses, and is used to riding with dogs. He rides and leads, is happy to be led, stands for mounting and dismounting, opens gates, and has never bolted. He always comes back to you when asked.

Around the yard, once he knows you Stan is affectionate and loves attention. He’ll happily stand for hours being groomed and fussed over. Like many Welsh ponies, he can pull funny faces over his stable door, especially at dinner time, but it’s all for show! He’s easy to muck out around, change rugs on, and is gentle with my two-year-old son. He is clever though, and if allowed he’ll test his boundaries, so he needs someone who is kind but consistent.

Perfect to clip, vet, load, travel, stands still at shows. Been to stay away shows no bother. Can be left in & out on his own. Currently kept with my other horse but not bothered when he goes. Barefoot with great feet.

Up to date on trimming, vacs, teeth, worming, physio.

Stan had gastric ulcers over 3/4 years ago, which were successfully treated with no recurrence. He also had one stifle injected over three years ago, again with no further issues, which our vet believes was linked to the ulcer episode. Full vet history is available, and any vetting is welcomed.

I’ve owned Stan for the last five years, and this is an incredibly difficult decision made purely due to changing personal circumstances after having my son. Because of this, he hasn’t competed as much over the past two years, but he’s fit, healthy and ready for someone to enjoy him.

This is a genuine, heartbreaking sale of a much-loved pony, so a 5⭐ home is absolutely essential.

Hundreds of photos and videos are available, and I’m more than happy to discuss him honestly with serious enquiries.

• Will put a smile on your face every day

Bean is an exceptional, pure Connemara gelding who has been brought on slowly, correctly, and carefully by me since he was a newly-backed 4-year-old. Bought as a project, he completely stole my heart, and I couldn't bear to part with him. For the last couple of years, Bean has been at working livery at the Berkshire College of Agriculture (BCA) Equine College. A firm favourite with staff and students alike, he has taken part in a huge variety of activities, giving confidence to riders of all abilities.

"He’s worth his weight in gold – we’d keep him forever if we could " - Fran, Manager, BCA Equine College

A Proven, Versatile All-Rounder

Bean has tried his hoof at everything, taking every challenge thrown at him in his stride:

• Hacking: Happy alone and in company, great in open spaces, not spooky, good with traffic and farm vehicles.

• Activities: Show jumping, flatwork, cross-country, clinics, sponsored/beach rides, and stay-away trips.

• Competitions: he behaves impeccably at shows and even has a couple of wins under his belt.

"‘Beanbag’ is our absolute favourite he has the sweetest nature and is so easy. Ponies like him are so hard to find—we’ll miss him so much." Georgia, Equine Technician, BCA

Easy & Low Maintenance in Every Way

• Turnout: Happily lives in or out in single or mixed herds. Easy to catch and comes to call.

• Ground Manners: Gentleman to handle, loads like a dream, great to clip, needs no sedation for the dentist, and doesn't even notice his vaccinations!

• Health: No health issues, never a lame day and strong barefoot feet. A full vet history is available.

"It’s rare to come across a horse with such exceptional feet and conformation. He is the ultimate blueprint of what to look for in a sound horse." Mark Johnson, Renowned Barefoot Farrier & Hoof-Care Expert

The Perfect Match

This is an incredibly sad and genuine sale due to a recent move to London. I would love to see him go to a small adult wanting a genuine, super-safe all-rounder to enjoy and have fun with, or he would make an awesome Pony Club pony. He has so much to offer and deserves to be the centre of someone’s world again. The right home is of the utmost importance and will be vetted.

Ebony is a kind, calm, safe, and steady Irish Cob with a wealth of experience. She is a fantastic all-rounder, suited to a wide range of riders, whether you are looking for a confidence-giver, a happy hacker, or a horse to enjoy fun rides, beach outings, and low-level competitions.

She has a gentle, easy-going personality, low maintenance. She will stand quietly at the mounting block without being held, waits patiently in her stable even with the door open, and is never pushy or strong. Ebony is ideal for solo riders, competent novice, or someone wanting a calm and reliable ride.

Ebony has three balanced paces and rides beautifully on the flat. She is calm and relaxed but responsive to the leg when asked, very sensible and never spooky, silly, sharp or strong.
Ebony has spent the last 2 years in a professional riding school setting where she has been ridden by all levels of children and adults, from complete beginners on the lead rein, competent novice off the lead rein, intermediate and advanced level riders.

She hacks out alone or in company. She is 100% safe in open spaces, does not pull, rush or get strong ,even after a canter or gallop, she will come straight back to walk on a loose rein.

She is excellent in traffic and is completely unfazed by extremely busy fast moving traffic including, double decker buses, articulated lorries, motorcycles, push bikes, prams, dogs, large farm machinery, she is not clingy with other horses, and will ride away from the herd without a second thought.

Ebony is excellent with the farrier (currently barefoot) equally happy to be shod, great to catch, load, travel, dentist and has no vices in the stable or field. She is happy to live in or out and is equally settled in a herd or on her own. She is currently turned out at night and stabled during the day but would adapt easily to full turnout or full stabling.

• measures 12,2hh at home
• Is a competition pony and requires a competent rider

Teddy is a very smart 11 year old gelding, with a super character and brain.

Measures 12.2hh at home with front shoes on, so should measure in under the new system.

He is established at 70/80 BS, however, has competed in 90cm classes and jumped 1m at home.

He is forward going and can be strong but is never nasty, just enthusiastic. Handled by children, loves being groomed and fussed over. Can be headstrong on the ground at times, so needs an experienced home with competent adults.

Hacks alone or in company and leads off of another horse.

He has attended many stay aways and pony club camp.

Achievements are as followed:

- Qualified for stepping stones nationals 2025

- Qualified for cats & pipes Scope 2025

- 6th 70cm SJ bicton mini champs 2024

- 8th 70cm eventing bicton pc regionals 2024

• 14.2hh / 148cm

• Heartbreaking sale of a hopelessly outgrown Once in a Lifetime Pony
• Fantastic Jumper, Bold and Brave XC
• Measures in at 147cm

Don is a 9 year old outstanding 147cm Class 1 Connemara Gelding, who we have owned since he was 6 years old. Sadly his rider has grown 9 inches since we bought him and we now need to find him a new home to enjoy and adore him as much as she has. We had hoped for 2026 as a final season enjoying Pony Club Camp, BE and Summer Championships but another growth spurt has sadly meant we now need to look for his next family earlier than expected :(

He had a brilliant 2025 season, being placed Top 3 in every event they attended including coming 2nd in the the Pony Club Eventing Regional Championships final at Kelsall. He spent the winter hacking and Arena Eventing, again always in the placings. He has been enjoying Riding club camps and training for this season, training up to Novice fences. This early summer he has competed in the Cotswold Cup, Pony Club rallies and Showjumping competitions.

He is a forward thinking competition pony, a responsive ride who absolutely loves his job and gives 100% to everything asked of him. In the 2.5 years we have had him he has never once stopped at a fence.

Don absolutely loves hacking and seeing new routes and will happily hack for hours alone or in company, he is a forward going hack great in all traffic and farm machinery. They also tried hunting over winter and he was mannerly, safe with the hounds and happy to stand politely with the field and go in front or behind.

He loves XC, covering the ground and tackling any obstacle put in front of him, he always makes the time and gives a bold and confident ride. Don will jump any fence and any stride SJ and will produce a good dressage test; he would easily and successfully affiliate either BSJA or BE, we feel he would have the scope and bravery to storm up the levels with a like-minded rider.

However similarly he would happily take things steadier at Pony Club, camps, fun rides and unaffiliated events. Don is happy when he is out and about, but he doesn't mind if he is hacking, going on fun rides, jumping 60cm or tackling beefy XC fences - he gives the same effort and enjoyment!

Although he is very genuine and honest, and does step down to his rider’s abilities, he is not a novice ride, but perfect for somebody coming off a smaller forward going pony, or a small adult. He rides bitless and tackless, he enjoys liberty work as he loves to build a close bond with his rider with his gentle character.

He is great to load (on trailers and lorries) and will stand in the lorry quietly on show day. He turns out in a herd, mixed or split, does not get herd bound, and is content left alone in the field while others are ridden out. We do use an oral sedative to clip him but he is great to shoe (front and back).

Don is up to date with vaccinations, worming and teeth and open to full vetting / xrays etc. He is fit and ready to go and we would love to see him enjoying camps and competitions and getting to know his new rider over the summer holidays.

Home is an absolute priority for us and there would be some level of negotiation on price for the perfect loving home who will give him a varied life and enjoy taking the time building a relationship with him, keep in touch with us and previous owners (he has a fan club!) and share his future successes.

We are based on the Staffordshire / Shropshire border
