ABOUT NOBLESSE

This is the advert I never thought I would have to write.

Noblesse has been the heartbeat of our pony world — the one who quietly teaches, patiently supports, and proudly carries her rider through every milestone. She has given confidence, joy and countless memories, and letting her go is truly heartbreaking.

But her rider has now outgrown her, and she deserves to become someone else’s once-in-a-lifetime pony.

A beautifully trained, kind and naturally forward second pony, Noblesse is ideal for a child or teenager ready to learn, progress and ride correctly on something truly special.

EXPERIENCE & TRAINING

• BD Dressage Squad D / Pony Club experience
• Established lateral work and correct schooling
• Simple changes established — a capable rider could ride a Medium test
• Balanced, expressive and rhythmic paces
• Safe, reliable and wonderfully uncomplicated
• The same kind, honest mare every day

Whether at competitions, hacking, or in a busy warm-up, she always looks after her rider.

WHAT SHE GIVES HER RIDER

• Soft, elastic contact and beautiful rideability
• Forward but never sharp — ideal second pony
• Smooth, comfortable trot and balanced canter
• Generous, gentle, confidence-giving temperament
• A genuine desire to teach and please

She is the pony who makes riders better — and braver.

TRANSPARENCY

• Needs light sedation for clipping — perfect once sedated
• Small sarcoid lasered 5 years ago, fully resolved with no recurrence
• Not a show-jumping pony — excels in dressage, hacking, poles and flatwork
* upright front feet need - need a good farrier


Otherwise she is an easy, sound and straightforward pony in every way.

HER IDEAL HOME

A competent child, small teenager, or petite adult stepping up from a first pony.

Someone who loves dressage, enjoys learning and wants a beautifully trained partner who is kind, safe and wonderfully consistent.

She thrives with a rider who appreciates softness, honesty and a pony who gives her heart every day.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

• Hacks alone and in company
• Good to shoe, load and travel
• 100% sound and sane
• Excellent manners and an affectionate character

Letting her go is incredibly hard — she truly is gold dust. But she still has so much magic to give, and another rider deserves to experience her.

She will only go to the very best home.

Please WhatsApp if you feel Noblesse could be your next special partner.
Lots of videos available of children riding her.

  • Offering a varied and fun life

We are looking for a superstar pony for our petite 8 year old (120cm) approx 11.2 - 12.2hh

He is walking, trotting and cantering off the lead and currently trotting small courses up to about 40cm.

We are looking for a kind, experienced pony who can hold his hand and help his confidence soar and safely take him out to competitions - primarily dressage and showjumping. Must know their job and not constantly test as the nerves can sometimes creep in.

Will have a varied life to include lessons, beach rides, farm picnic rides, hacking, NSEA and pony club.
Must go for little legs and be suitable for a child to handle.

We would love a true child’s best friend - the sort you can do fancy dress on at your local show, go to camp or stay aways without them getting unsettled and most importantly, something that enjoys lots of cuddles and kisses!

Some minor health conditions considered as long as disclosed and reflected in the price.

We are an experienced family home and have a younger sibling waiting in the wings, so would like something that we can treasure for many years.

Sensible budget.
Ideally located within 2 hours of Dorset

Genuine and Kind 14.1hh Gypsy Vanner Cob, 18 Years Old

A gorgeous, kind-natured cob who has been a pleasure to own. Excellent to hack alone or in company and loves fun rides, with a confident, bold jump.

Good to box and shoe. Not currently clipped, but has been hogged and clipped in the past with no issues.

He has a very gentle temperament – my 10-year-old daughter, with no prior riding experience, has ridden him. He prefers hacking and fun rides to schooling, as he can get bored in the arena.

Ridden in a rubber bit; can occasionally be strong, but always remains responsive and sensible.

He has mainly lived in a mixed herd and is happy living out 24/7.

This is a very sad sale of a lovely, genuine boy who deserves more time and attention than I can give him. A kind, caring home is an absolute priority.

  • Connemara part bred by the Hoys winning Comberton Cadet
  • Fantastic temperament
  • Super fun ride

Mr Tom is a super fun, forward thinking all rounder.
Sadly for sale after 10 years.

He has the most beautiful balanced paces, works naturally in a soft contact, always snaffle mouthed.

Mr Tom would excel at showing due to his family being Hoys winners, he would be a strong contender for veteran classes.
He loves to jump, and in the past has competed in unaffiliated showjumping, xcountry and ode.

He is great to hack alone or in company, totally unfazed by traffic, we hack on very busy roads.

Mr Tom has a temperament to die for!
He is super kind and extremely well mannered in all aspects.
Great to catch, shoe, clip, vet, groom, bath, load, travel, the list goes on…
Just a real pleasure to be around.

He would suit a petite confident rider, maybe a mother daughter share.
He would NOT be suitable for a Novice or Nervous rider due to him being a sensitive ride, he can be spooky at times and forward when first going into canter.
This is not an issue if you’re a capable rider and when he’s in regular work.

He would not be suitable for someone coming off riding school ponies.

He is clean limbed, very low mileage for his age, has mainly been hacked and lightly schooled for the past year due to owner having a baby.

He has not competed for a few years either so would need to be slowly reintroduced to the competition scene.

He is currently in light work and in his winter wollies.

Passport, vaccinations, teeth and worming all up together.

Extremely hard sale as owner know longer has the time he deserves, since starting a family.
He will only go to the best of homes.
Tack and rugs included.
Tons of photos and videos on request.
Good trial facilities.
