  • Happy to live on own
12h, 13yo, bay, New Forest gelding looking for his next jockey.

I purchased him as a tiny tot’s first lead rein pony, and whilst we adore him, he’s wasted being ridden for 30 mins once a week.

He’s a total dude to do anything with. Clip, shoe, load, travel, groom, lead off another horse. He stands like a saint out hunting, stands tied to the trailer, he’s totally unflappable in traffic, farm machines, kids, dogs, hounds, pheasants, livestock etc, gets on with all other horses and ponies. Can also live on his own. He lives on a busy dairy farm and is not phased by anything.

I’ve got a million videos and pictures of him doing all sorts. SJ, PC rallies, XC, fancy dress, hunting, joining family bbqs in my garden, coming in the house for carrots.

Never sick or sorry, comes to call, lives on fresh air, loves to be fussed. He’s a keen, forward, pony who loves going on adventure he isn’t a drag along LR pony. I regularly lead him off a pram or with a baby on my back.

Please do NOT enquire for your nervous child looking for a first year first ridden. He’s a total saint on the lead rein, but can be quite cheeky off the lead. He could be a seriously cool pony for someone that can really ride - but I want him sold as a LR only.

Really sad sale as we do love him, he’s just wasted with us and he deserves to be out having fun on a lead rein.

Dorset based. No trials, No LWVTB, no payment plans.

Serious enquiries please WhatsApp message or call.

We're looking for an experienced hunting pony to hunt on and off the lead rein (with a walker), and on and off the lead rein next to a horse. If it can do camp and rallies too this is a bonus but not a necessity.

Must be experienced with busy packs and not fazed by it. We are looking for woah over go, a steady Eddie best friend for a keen but nervous hunting boy.

12-13.2hh - gelding. 7yrs+

This is the first boy, with two children coming on behind him so we expect to keep the pony in the family until the end of its days. Experienced home near Badminton awaits.

We can provide lots of references for ourselves.

Healthy budget for the right pony, or loan considered.

Whatsapp best contact method.

4 yo chestnut roan gelding standing 11.3 , four square and with plenty of bone and feather.

Buzz has just been professionally backed proving very easy and sensible. He has an exceptional laid back temperament and will be a fab childs pony with some further education.

He will be a proper all rounder/ pony club pony as he loves jumping, has lovely movement and very correct conformation.

With his looks and movement he could hold his own in Junior/Open classe but Buzz is also quiet enough to do lead rein and first ridden.

Closely related to lots of show ring champions- Rowfantina My Buddy, Withymead Honey Bear and full brother to a finalist at the National Dressage Finals.

  • 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’s 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’s not an issue.

There are some decent budgets available relative to age and medical conditions etc.

All leads will be handled with discretion.

4 yo gelding standing a strong 11.3 likely to make up 12 hands,plenty of bone and substance to him and takes up the leg!
Extremely well bred pony.

We brought him unbroken earlier in the year. He has done lots of long reining and groundwork and has started very nicely under saddle. Has taken everything in his stride so far and has been absolutely no problem to ride away.

He is working very nicely in walk,trot and canter and popping a small course in the arena and is very neat amd careful. Has hacked out on the road several times.. met cars /vans ... and also popped some little arena eventing fences last week. He is an exceptionally balanced pony with the easiest canter. He is a forward thinking pony not a kick along. Been to a little unaffiliated dressage test today , got a placing,behaved and worked in company very sweetly then stood on the lorry alone.

He has been backed by Nanny ..but also been ridden several times by a very petite 10 yo and worked beautifully and looked a total picture, so easy and naturally balanced for a child. Forward and responsive but not strong.

Nice person to do , groom, wash, load, pick up feet etc. He is handled ,led and groomed by my 5 yo boy who has also walked round on the lead rein ( but is not remotely intrested otherwise he would be the sort of pony we would keep for him for the furture ) .Fantastic project for the summer.. brought on a little more would be a fabulous LR/first ridden or WHP. Sensible,kind pony but obviously just broken and riding so is not bomb proof yet and has more of the world to see! Not a made pony yet .. would like an experienced home to bring him on due to age and level of training..Ideal for older child to produce for the younger ones in a few months time or for small mum ( nanny in video is 7 stone 5ft1 ) to produce along side .. I believe produced correctly will make a fabulous family pony.

Wormed ,trimmed up to date .. ready for someone to put their stamp on.

No health issues.

Zodiac is a fantastic lead rein pony, forward and willing. Will pop a course of jumps, schools beautifully and hacks out on roads and round farm machinery. He has done many local shows in hand and ridden and is always in the ribbons. He has also done the Great Yorkshire in hand doing very well and ridden. He is smart enough for county level. Just needs more miles on the clock to be a real ridden contender

This is a sad sale as he is hopelessly out grown by my nine year old. He has been in our possession since a yearling. We have encouraged him to go off lead from the beginning of his ridden career but he is just much more confident as a lead rein. He will go off lead at home in the school or out hacking, he can be cheeky at times so we do that more cautiously but on the lead I can’t fault him. My daughter is ready for a step up from her beloved pony.
He is good to do in all ways. Up to date with vaccination and feet

Extremely sad sale of this gorgeous little pony.
Star has been with us the last 6 years and has now been sadly outgrown. Although we would love to keep him forever he is too good to be wasted as a field ornament. He needs a new best friend to love and have lots of fun with.

Star is a very good boy at all times. He is always happy and always willing. He is great on and off the lead rein.

He has done pc mounted games, showjumping, dressage, and riding club showing on and off the lead rein. Good to hack and great in open spaces. Not nappy at all, very easy going and happy in his own company.

He would be suitable for all pc riding club activities.

Off the lead star would be more suited for a confident little rider that is fairly balanced and able to give clear aids as he is forward going and responsive. A gutsy little rider that doesn’t mind a fast pace would have so much fun and get the best out of him!

Having said that he does come down to a level for those learning off the lead rein in walk and trot it’s just his canter that’s a quick and responsive pace.

Star has no vices or quirks, and has never bucked, reared, or bolted.

I’ve been putting off selling him because we love him dearly and has never been a days trouble, he is such an easy pony to keep. Can live in or out, never sick or sorry.

This boy is so kind and gentle, he has perfect ground manners and is an angel around all children even the smallest of tiny tots can lead, groom, bath, load, dress up and do anything with him.

Everyone that’s meets this boy immediately falls in love!
We will all be extremely sad to see him go.

Lots of videos available up on request.

Lattie has been professionally started - long reins, lunges and is happy with a little jockey on board wandering around the yard.

Great with dogs, kids, loads, travels well, exceptionally behaved at arena hires (indoor and outdoor). She has bags of potential and will make top class M&M/LR with someone who is willing to further her education.

We purchased her from Clare Connor in December 2025 for our daughter who has had a huge growth spurt and is even looking big on her 12.2 pony so we feel it is best to find Lattie a knowledgable home with a little jockey to build a partnership from the beginning.

Johnnie is a lovely, genuine Performance Shetland who is the perfect lead rein pony and is also happy just off the lead. He has taught two 4-year-olds to ride and is extremely safe in open spaces – nothing fazes him.

He has been on loan for the past year to a novice rider and has lost some fitness due to doing less work, which is reflected in his price.

Johnnie would make a super racing Shetland or WHP for a more competitive child.

He has previously done showing, jumping, and Pony Club with my daughter. He is easy to handle and can be led from another horse, making him an ideal first pony.

Only for sale as we have another pony for our younger daughter who can do the same job and he is too good to be wasted.

Tack included.

Serious enquiries only, please.
