  • Ultimate First Pony
  • Mothers Dream
  • Full History Known

Alfie is a 12.2 11 year old cob

We have known Alfie for the last 4 years and have good contact from where he was before. Alfie taught my daughter to ride from the age of 5 and got her ready to ride BS on her new pony. We then sold him 2 years ago and he’s just taught his latest jokey the ropes, when they tried him she couldn’t even rise to the trot. He is currently back with me to be sold to his next jokey on behalf of his current owner.

Alfie has 3 established paces. He’s more kick than pull. He is the most safest boy that you could put your child on and let go of, he literally won’t go anywhere he’s not asked.

On the yard - Alfie is the best horse to be around, will stand tied up for hours to be groomed by the children, will have all his feet picked out by them too. He is handled by children daily. Alfie can pull a face when he has his feed, he’s never done anything but we leave him be when he’s eating.

Hacking - Alfie is the best hacking pony. He won’t catch up without being asked, just plods along at the back. He is good in open spaces and is hacked along a main A road and is great with traffic. He has done pony camp hacks and beach rides too with lots of horses for company and he’s been amazing! Never gets exited or silly.

Cross Country - Alfie was put on this earth to take your children cross country for the first time, nothing bothers him. Will go up and down steps ditches, you name it he’s done it. He is just a really good boy.

Jumping - Alfie will jump up to 50cm. He really does try but isn’t the mot natural jumper. He will knock a pole. He will always get your children from the first jump to the last but if he’s taken in on a line where it shouldnt work he will always go he just may have the pole down at the same time.

Schooling - Alfie is more kick than pull. He will happily go around the outside track all day. Both children that have owned him have hd their first ever off lead rein canters on him. He will also canter on the lead rein if he’s asked.

Pony Club - Alfie has done lots of pony club rally’s. Mounted games, show jumping. You name it he’s done it. He’s also done lots of stay away shows and is great in every way.

Lead Rein - Alfie will go on the lead rein when asked and will also go on the lunge to be ridden walk and trot. He’s is super safe, but his job in life is to be a first ridden not a lead rein pony. But will equally do both jobs.

Vaccinations, farrier, teeth and physio all up to date.

All in all Alfie is the best pony in the world to start your kids off. And will always have a job teaching new kids.

Lots and lots of videos on request. Please message me on WhatsApp for these 07825685127.

We are very lucky to of stayed in contact with the owners and are gladly selling him on again. We would all like to stay in contact with his new owners when he goes also. First person to try him will buy him because he is so good.

£2,500 ONO
  • Cob
  • Palomino
  • Colt
  • 2 years
  • Will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony
  • He is going to make some little child very happy

This handsome chap is called ‘Flash’. He is a Rising 3 years old Colt of whom we’ve had from Birth. His Mum is our 13.2hh Coloured Cob Cross, and his Dad is a 14.3hh Lemon & White Cob. We put Mum in Foal in hopes to have something bigger than herself, but unfortunately Flash is not going to make the 14hh we would have liked.

Flash has been raised on our Family Smallholding and is extremely well handled.

He is currently standing 12.2/12.3hh but is still growing and very bum high. I would personally say he’s going to make 13.2hh.

Whilst he is a Colt, he is very quiet and takes everything in his stride. Nothing fazes him!

He is used to living in or out. With Mares & Geldings. He is good to load and travel, good with the Farrier (only ever been trimmed), good with the Dentist (last seen 24th April 2025), good to catch even from the biggest of Fields, will stand all day long to be groomed. Is not fazed with being washed out (even with a Jet Wash).

He’s up to date with Wormer.

He has been bitted up with a standard Snaffle. He is currently being long reined and has had tack fitted to him, and again not bothered in the slightest.

He is currently learning all via voice commands. Walk on, Stand, Trot on, Whoa, all the basics really. He has very very good manners.

Has never bitten, kicked or bucked. Honestly this Pony has no vices whatsoever.

He is going to make some little child very happy. He will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony.

This is going to be an extremely hard sale and he will NOT just be going to anyone.

Please only enquire if you are genuine and NO dealers.

Videos available and viewings welcome.

  • Dolly is an ideal first pony for children

 She is gentle, kind, and loves being fussed over by kids. Dolly stands patiently to be brushed and is always ready to make new friends.

**Experience:**

Pony Parties: Dolly has delighted many children at pony parties with her calm and friendly demeanor.

Pony Events: She has been a reliable participant in various pony events.

Family Pony: Dolly has been a cherished member of our family, bringing joy and smiles to everyone she meets.

Additional Information:

Off the Lead Rein: Dolly can go off the lead rein. She is safe with no nap, rear, or buck.

Confident Rider: While Dolly is well-behaved, she can be strong and forward, so she would need a confident, capable rider off lead. However this year whilst being mainly a field ornament she has happily had more wobbly novices walk, trot and canter round the 5 acre field with out feeling strong.

Jumping and Hunting: Dolly has hunted in the past and, when fit, can happily jump around 70-80 cm.

Price reflects need for quick hassle free sale.

We have had Missy for 4 years, when my little girl was 2 to learn how to ride and have fun!

Missy has done just that and more! Missy has been an excellent lead rein pony. My 2yr son also rides her (recently winning) she doesn’t mind someone walking / running by the side of her.

Missy has done pony club games, lead rein jumping, farm rides etc, she will lunge with her jockey on at a pace to suit and knows how to look after her rider. We live on a farm so is used to machinery, animals etc.

Missy will lead with another horse on the lead. Missy loves being groomed (fidgets when bathed so I just don’t let my little girl bath her)

She has been unbelievable for us and we want her to go and be enjoyed just like we have!

Will load on a trailer or lorry

Peanut has been with us for 2 years and has taught my very nervous granddaughter to ride. He is now very sadly for sale purely because he is too small for her.

Peanut is the perfect lead rein pony he can be lead by children over jumps and is impeccably behaved.

Off the lead rein he is a genuine first ridden pony and is more kick along than whoa.

What you would call a real confidence giver.

We have done all sorts of pony club activities with him including camp. His previous owners did team games with him.

When out and about he is well behaved and never silly.

Peanut loves fuss and will stand all day to be brushed and pampered he really is a sweetheart.

He is good to hack out both on the road and in fields he is used to large farm machinery sheep and dogs.

He is easy to load, clip, catch and for the farrier. He has no vices.

This is a very sad sale of a much loved family pony who I cannot praise highly enough.

Rocky has been in the same home for last two years, he has been schooled in this time, had sharers but unfortunately my auntie is now giving up and feels he is wasted.

He is always in the ribbons at shows if this be in the sj or gymkarna games. He has a cracking jump and has been jumping 75 at home. He is a cheeky pony so manners do need to be kept on top of, if he isn’t in a variety of work he can pop a buck in. This pony absolutely loves to hack even on the busiest of roads. Both alone and in company. He is handled by child on my yard who are very capable.

Would suit a home that wants to do everything, from showing to gymkarna to jumping to hunting.

He is a super pony.
