Heartbreaking sale of our much-loved Twinkle, only available as sadly outgrown. ❤️
We have owned Twinkle since he was five years old and genuinely know this little pony inside out. He has been a huge part of our family for the last three years and has given our daughter the most wonderful start to her riding life.
When Twinkle came to us, Saskia was just seven and riding him on the lead rein. Together they have progressed from those early days to riding independently, hacking, jumping, dressage, showing and competing. He has looked after her while allowing her to learn and grow in confidence, and watching their partnership develop has been incredibly special.
Twinkle is now an experienced, genuine first-ridden/allround child’s pony. He is happy hacking, schooling, jumping, doing dressage or showing, and is just as content having a quiet day at home as he is loading up and heading off to a competition.
He really is one of those little ponies who just gets on with life. We have literally hacked him down dual carriageways, he will go to any show, hack anywhere, see plenty of the world and take it all in his stride.
More recently, he has spent several days taking Sienna’s school friend out hacking with the girls, including cantering out with them, and has looked after another little jockey beautifully. It has been lovely to see the confidence he has given her in such a short space of time and is another example of just what a genuine little pony he is. 🥹❤️
He has successfully competed across disciplines, been Reserve Champion in lead rein and qualified for STARS and Trailblazers, as well as qualifying through dressage competitions. He is good in traffic and open spaces and has plenty of experience getting out and about.
Twinkle would equally suit a little jockey wanting a safe, sensible pony to have fun with, hack and build confidence on, or a child wanting to start getting out and about and progress into dressage, jumping, showing and competitions. He’s already been there and done it, so there is plenty for his next little rider to enjoy without having to produce a pony from scratch.
He is straightforward to have around, easy to catch, groom and handle, good for the farrier and travels well. He is very much a family pony and the sort children can enjoy both on the ground and in the saddle.
Having owned him since he was five, we have years’ worth of photos and videos showing everything mentioned above and are more than happy to share his journey with serious prospective homes.
We would genuinely keep Twinkle forever if we could, but our children have sadly outgrown him and he has far too much to give to spend his days standing in a field. He deserves another little jockey of his own to go out, have fun, progress and make the same sort of memories we have been lucky enough to make with him.
Saskia would absolutely love to stay in touch and watch him continue his journey with his next little rider. ❤️
A knowledgeable, loving home is an absolute priority over a quick sale.
Full wardrobe, including his fitted saddle and tack, is available by separate negotiation.
Twinkle is up to date with vaccinations and teeth and has been regularly maintained with physio throughout the time we’ve owned him. He is good for the farrier, easy to catch and handle, and travels well. No known health issues. Open to vetting. Full history known as we have owned him since five.
In the three years we have owned Twinkle, he has always been a safe, sensible and genuine pony for us. As with any pony, we cannot guarantee how he will behave in every situation or with every rider, so we encourage prospective buyers to come and try him properly and make sure he is the right match for their child.
