  • Top Class Lead Rein Show Pony with the most amazing temperament
  • A true Lead rein type

We bought Mara Mouse as an unbroken 3 yr old following her early years success in in-hand showing. Her delightful temperament enabled easy breaking.

My daughter enjoyed 2 successful years in the lead rein class with the Emmerson show team, with numerous notable results a few are listed below.

When Posy was out of the class, and letting our heart rule our heads we were not ready to part with this sweet little mare – she has enjoyed the past 3 years looking after tiny jockeys and continuing her success through limited show outings

Mara Mouse is very easy to do and when we have our ponies’ at home in the winter Posy cares for her little pony herself – and Mouse loves nothing more than cuddles and kisses and little people fussing over her. She is a fabulous and easy pony to love and Posy was privileged, as were we to enjoy a mutual affection and to be entrusted with taking her into her ridden career.

Sadly, it is now time for Samara to find an equally loving home with another child who will take her forward into what we believe are her best years to come.

Samara has been an absolute pleasure of a pony to own. She goes on the very end of the lead rein with ease and will be equally at home in a home produced or produced yard. She is a perfect lead rein pony who will carry a small child with ease and will not snatch the reins. 

Only phone calls will be responded to.

Cadlanvalley Enchantress

A real life Barbie unicorn, bought as a 3 year old from the wpcs sale, my daughter had seen her on Facebook entered and said I want this one, she was broken in all by my then 8 year old little girl, she has just had the most fun on her.

She does absolutely everything on her, we live on a busy working farm and she is used to the hustle and bustle of farm life. She’s ridden through large open spaces daily, never being strong or silly. Stolen by my six year old little girl to ride out and most recently taken to a show and went supreme of show with a tiny tot FYFR jockey. She had so many winnings from shows over the last couple of years in the first riddens, young handlers and m and m classes . She is a real head turner.

Princess is a pleasure to have around lives in or out and is stabled with us at night. She is solely done by the children tacking her up, riding, bathing, rugging, brushing, loading. I really don’t do anything. She is the sweetest little mare and just aims to please in everything we do.

Regularly taken down to the river with her friends, hacks out alone or in company, loves jumping. Unfortunately she is hopelessly outgrown and is looking for a new little girl to love her and give her cuddles. If we could keep them all we would never sell her. But my grumpy farming husband says no more and daisy needs the funds for a bigger pony to take her gangly legs.

Daisy has shown her in a few HOYS qualifiers this year even with her long legs and been placed.

3rd at the Royal welsh (ticket to 2nd)

6th at the 125 anniversary show.

She takes to the busiest buzziest shows like a seasoned pro. I’m in the lead rein class before with my other little girl and happily leave her outside on princess knowing they will be safe.

We have loads of videos and pictures please message us for any information and to come and see her.

This is a really sad sale of a much loved pony.

✨ Chime – Welsh Section A Mare | Approx. 11.2hh ✨

Affectionately known as Chime, this lovely young Welsh Section A mare is looking for a confident, experienced home where she can continue to learn, gain confidence and reach her full potential.

Chime has been used as a lead-rein pony for my 4-year-old daughter and has also attended pony games and pony camp with a 6-year-old rider. She is a pony who really benefits from having a confident child who believes in her. My 4-year-old is very confident and has had no problems with her.

One of Chime’s biggest strengths is how well she copes with new environments and experiences. She loads and travels well and takes new places in her stride. At camp, she was completely unfazed by a new stable, flapping gazebos, tents and all the general activity that comes with camp life. She would really thrive in a Pony Club-style home where she can get out, see the world and continue experiencing new things.

Chime is very much a character and a mare with her own opinions! She isn’t naturally an overly affectionate pony, but she will stand to be groomed, fussed over and covered in glitter. She is also very much part of family life here and will happily hang out in the garden while the children are playing in the paddling pool, taking everything going on around her in her stride.

She can pull faces when she has had enough and has bitten handlers when her boundaries have been pushed. She is, however, very clear in her communication and gives warning. She needs people who are confident enough to understand her body language and respect her boundaries.

Ridden, she is good on the lead rein and will have the occasional small spook. These are nothing dramatic and are small enough for a confident child to sit to. At camp she had a session with a complete beginner rider, aged 8, when she spooked. She simply carried on with what she was doing and the rider was completely unfazed.

Another lovely quality is that Chime doesn’t hold onto a fright. If something does worry her, she is happy to carry on and revisit the same place without making an issue of it. This gives her a lot of potential as she gains experience and confidence.

She is still a young mare who needs further education, consistency and guidance, but I feel she has plenty of potential for someone prepared to put the time into building a partnership with her.

On the ground, Chime can be a little bit of a diva when it comes to catching! She is very much a pony who wants to build a bond with her person and, in my opinion, would absolutely thrive in a one-owner home where she can develop that special relationship with someone who understands her.

She is straightforward to keep and is happy to be stabled on her own or alongside others in a barn. She is equally happy turned out alone or in a group and is best suited to turn out with geldings.

Chime isn’t going to suit everyone, and I am looking for a confident, experienced child with knowledgeable parents or an experienced home. She needs someone who will appreciate her character, understand her signals and give her the consistency and confidence she needs.

I genuinely feel she could be a fabulous little Pony Club pony for the right person, with plenty of scope to develop her education and experience over the coming years.

A young mare with bags of character, a great attitude to new adventures and huge potential for the right partnership. ❤️

Priced accordingly to reflect her age, current experience and the knowledgeable home she requires.

Very sad sale of our lovely Dolly pony. We have owned her for nearly 3 years but is now sadly outgrown.

Dolly was our daughter’s first pony and has taken her from never riding and being on the lead rein, to cantering through the woods on her own. My daughter is a nervous rider and Dolly has definitely given her confidence and they often ride down the road bareback with just a head collar on now!

She is quiet in traffic and we hack down busy roads and through villages with no issues.

Dolly will happily stay next to a push bike (on or off the lead if asked) which we found really helpful as we could cover miles at a decent speed!

We did some pony club lessons to help teach my daughter how to ride but we haven’t been for well over 12 months as we prefer hunting, pub rides, picnic rides and exploring! My daughter isn’t a fan of jumping but will pop over a log if there’s one in the woods. Dolly did quite a bit of jumping in her previous home though, especially out hunting!

Dolly has hunted with us and we have been to several of the Christmas meets which have been in a town centre and Dolly has behaved impeccably despite the huge number of people and horses.

We’ve been to shows with Dolly and she has been happy doing her classes and then being tied up at the trailer for the rest of the day!

She is really nice on the ground and is good to clip, bath, load, farrier and my daughter handles her for everything.

We often have friends smaller children over and they ride her on and off the lead rein so she’s still used to tiny wobbly children learning the ropes!

She adjusts to the rider and will step it up if asked but will also happily plod along the road with a wobbly child on board! Her previous owner loved whizzing around but my daughter prefers a slower pace and she’s never bucked, bolted or reared with us (which is super important to us as I don’t think my daughter would ride again if she got bolted with or bucked off)

Tack is included in the sale

  • A home produced, easy and adored child’s pony

May we present the rarest of rare gems 💎. A standout debutant of the 2026 showing circuit and proven child’s ride.

Black shetland, Dutch bred and imported in 2025. Measuring 104cm when licensed as a 3yr old, VVE certificated and gelded for the First Ridden / Junior job last November.

4yr old Rivaal V Stal Polderzicht (Clogs to his child friends) has exceeded all expectations in his first year under saddle. His success and consistency speaks for itself, whilst not being campaigned heavily due to age:

⭐ Qualified RIHS PP FR at his first attempt and PP LR at his second. Placed at finals.

⭐ NPS Winter Novice FR Champion and second at the Summer Finals.

⭐ NPS shetland Picton Champion 2026.

⭐ NPS Darvagel four-year-old Pony Champion 2026 (mixed breed class).

⭐ Open NPS FR winner at the National Shetland Performance Show and Reserve FR Champion.

⭐ Strong placings in a few HOYS qualifiers across LR, FR and JNR sections.

⭐ He has also recently started jumping and is proving brave whilst steady. He competed in one LIHS FR Sports Pony class this year and went absolutely foot-perfect.

Aside from his results and outstanding way of going, Clog’s true beauty lies in his second-to-none temperament. He’s a one in a million four year old with an old head on young shoulders. I’ve let my daughter’s non-horsey friends ride him, he has been ridden by tiny children and he is as kind and genuine as they come. He sits beautifully on the bridle for a small jockey and has the attitude and ability to do the lead rein job all the way through to opens. He really steps-up and steps-down depending on his little rider.

He has no vices, hang ups or health issues. The children can do everything with him and he’s great in traffic.

Genuine sale due to a change in direction with our showing. We know he will have his day at HOYS, and when that happens we will be proud to have been part of his journey 🥹…

Only the best, kind showing homes will be considered 🖤. Five figure budget required to reflect his success and temperament.

Beautifully Bred 6-Year-Old Mare

A beautifully bred 6-year-old mare whose dam is an RWAS Winter Fair Winner, sharing the same breeding lines as Glebedale Austin Powers, with both Glebedale and Thisledown bloodlines.

She is a straight-moving mare who has mainly been used as a lead rein pony for my nervous daughter. We've also successfully shown her locally both in-hand as an M and M LR and plaited as an SHP, with my daughter also doing Young Handler classes. She is straight moving and has no lumps or bumps. Always comes home with a rosette and is a pleasure to take to shows, happily standing on the trailer all day on her own.

She is a kind, mannerly pony who is easy to catch, trim feet and handle. She is equally happy living in or out, and children can groom and fuss her with ease. She is sensible enough for little tots to ride as has a lovely temperament. Has also attended Pony Club.

Last summer she spent some time at a riding school to further her education, she happily jumped courses up to 70cm and quickly became a firm favourite. She is currently being ridden by a small adult to keep her ticking over, as my daughter has sadly lost interest.

A genuine, versatile mare with excellent breeding, a lovely kind temperament, and a great future ahead. She would benefit from a home who can continue her education as she would make a PC pony or continue in the show ring (she has HOYS potential) as either a SHP or M and M. Equally with such great breeding would be an asset as a broodmare.

7 very happy years with Lilly. Now sadly outgrown, she needs another little person to ride her , compete her , spoil her and give her lots of attention. My daughter was 16 months old when we bought her, started on the lead rein and was cantering and jumping her first cross pole by the time she was 2.5 years old, by 4 she was off the lead rein and learning how to get about by herself on Lilly. They’ve done showjumping, mounted games, horse agility, showing, fun rides, hacking ( Lilly is perfect in traffic ), handy pony, xc, fancy dress and beach rides. She can be ridden about in a headcollar bareback. She’ll look after your child.

She’ll stand all day to be bathed , brushed , clipped, etc.

Lilly loves going to shows etc . My daughter has over 70 rosettes and trophies that she has collected with her! She’s very easy, kept at home here , turned out with mares and a gelding.

Many, many videos and photos available - 7 years worth!

Only available to the best of homes, she’s given my daughter so much and fully deserves the best of everything. 16 years. Up to date with teeth and vac. She’s a superstar. Serious enquires only please, as this isn’t easy. Newent, Gloucestershire. Many videos available.

Waffle is an 8-year-old Chestnut 133cm Welsh-bred gelding.

He has a wonderful character and has all the ingredients to make a fantastic future competition, show, or all-round pony. Safe and sensible under saddle, he is snaffle mouthed and is well mannered on the ground and to handle in all ways. This pony has had a varied and fun life jumping, doing clinics, camps, hacking and fun rides. He has been ridden by very novice riders and is kind but has also shown his potential talent when ridden by more experienced riders.

Waffle has plenty of presence, a quality head, attractive colouring, and a naturally uphill frame that turns heads wherever he goes. Has correct confirmation.

He is well-bred with excellent Welsh bloodlines, offering the sort of pedigree that would appeal to showing enthusiasts and those looking for a quality pony with substance and ability.

He has a willing attitude, enjoys his work and always says yes to everything that he is asked, would make a super pony club pony but could equally be produced in the right hands to be a top class nursery stakes showing pony.

✔️ Attractive chestnut with flaxen mane and tail

✔️ Eye-catching and full of presence

✔️ Naturally talented jump with a lovely technique

✔️ Potential for showing, Pony Club, riding club, showjumping, or general all-round activities

A lovely pony who stands out from the crowd and is ready for someone to bring out his full potential. Rarely do you find a pony with this combination of looks, breeding, and untapped ability.

Serious enquiries welcome. More photos and videos available on request. 🐴✨

Good to box, shoe, clip and catch. Great trial facilities, open to any vet, fit and ready to go, priced to sell £15,000


Super Suzie – Safest First 128 Competition Pony/ BS Starter Pony

  • A proper school master & has done a bit of everything

Super Suzie as we call her, is just that, an absolute Super Star. If it wasn’t for Suzie I think we might have given up.

Suzie is a competition pony, however she is versatile & can be many different ponies for you. With a rider who knows what they are doing, she can feel this & she’s buzzy & ready to go. But when we’ve popped my 4 year old son on, she’s a donkey. Including taking him around the full 7 miles at Somerford, totally off lead by himself. How many ponies can you trust with a 4 year old in a sand school, let alone in open spaces? Then how many competition ponies will do this? She’s really incredible & we can’t speak more highly of her.

Suzie is a proper school master & has done a bit of everything:

* SJI & BS Show Jumping

* Pony Club

* Private and group lessons

* Fun rides

* Cross-country

* Games (but only the kids playing in the school)

Suzie was brought from Ireland for my son’s 7th birthday, she was his 2nd pony (1st pony was so spooky, he would fall off all the time, he had never cantered off lead until Suzie). He wasn’t really ready for a competition pony, yet she trained him up fast. She made him feel safe, which he had never felt when riding until this point.

Suzie has a very decorated jumping record in Ireland with a lot of wins up to 1m. We have competed her up to 85cm, single fences at home of 1.10.

Her only ‘fault’ is she is marish. She has never actually kicked another pony when in season, but she would. We’ve tried her on regumate & it works, but makes her too steady for us. By her being like this, she is extremely confident in herself, which actually makes her a parents dream & I look for this trait in all other ponies now. By her being so confident in herself. She doesn’t need other ponies around. So can be in the field by herself, in the stable, at shows, hacking etc. It also means she’s not spooky or scared of anything. Which means bathing, clipping, new fillers to jump etc. No problem for Super Suzie. My kids can do everything with her too.

She can turn out with others, but we turn her out individually & I think she prefers it. I’m always 100% honest about our ponies, as I only want them to go to the right homes. If anything I usually make any faults sound worse than they are, as atleast then it reduces the risk of selling to the wrong home.

She has never bucked, reared or napped. No vices or medical issues. No medication.

We are only selling Suzie as my son has totally out grown her. He’s only 9, but the size of a 14 year old, so we’ve had to move him onto bigger ponies. My other son has just turned 5 & has a smaller pony which the size is more suitable for him for at least another year or so. However much I’d love to keep her, I need the funds.

She is:

✔ Up to date with vaccinations

✔ Up to date with the dentist

✔ Up to date with chiropractor

✔ Farrier every 6 weeks

✔ Loads and travels beautifully in both a trailer and horsebox

✔ Happy to stand on the lorry all day

Our ideal home would be for Suzie to do exactly what she’s done for us, but for another boy or girl. As we are so appreciative to Suzie & I’d love her to go somewhere else where they feel the same. She’s a Queen & needs to be treated like one. So it goes without saying, only the very best home will be considered.

Please, genuine enquiries only. We don’t have time for multiple casual viewings or “pony shopping” days out, and we don’t think it’s fair on Suzie to have lots of children trying her. We ask that you only arrange a viewing if you genuinely feel she could be the right pony for you.

More photos & videos on request. I have hundreds. Videos from my son first sitting on her, dropping his reins at every jump, making it as hard as possible for Suzie 😂, to now, where they are a pretty cool team. Plus many with his 4/5 year old brother riding her too. Including at POP/ Aintree mid-August where my 5 year old competed her completely off lead rein by himself in the cross poles, then later my 9 year old took her around the Stepping Stones. She was completely two different ponies for them.

Dilly is a very special, genuine lead-rein and first-ridden Shetland mare who has been a much-loved part of our family for the past 7 years, having taught our children to ride.

⭐ Dilly is:

🏆 An experienced ridden pony with years of experience – 16 years old

👍 Brilliant in all traffic

🐴 Confident and enthusiastic over a jump

🌟 Loads and travels like a pro

🫶 Loves to hack

🎪 Takes shows, Pony Club rallies and new environments in her stride

👧🏼 Absolutely fantastic with children

🛁 Easy for children to handle and care for – our children tack her up, lead her, load her etc.

✂️ Excellent for bathing, clipping and having her feet done

❤️ Hacking is her absolute favourite thing. She happily keeps up with our 16hh and the other ponies. She may be small, but she is mighty in personality!

She also enjoys jumping, Pony Club rallies and shows. She is confident in new environments and completely unflappable with noises and new experiences. She can also be led from another pony, making her wonderfully versatile.

Dilly has even played the lead-role “donkey” in the school Christmas nativity assembly. ❤️🥰

She is such a kind and genuine pony that we also feel she could potentially be very well suited to a therapy/SEN environment.

Our children initially rode her in an Inky Dinky saddle from around 1–3 years old. She is now ridden with a Zoe Snape showing pad.

🐴 Home is very important

Dilly must go to a home with other ponies/horses. She absolutely loves equine company and does not like being turned out alone.

💔 A very hard sale

Our children have now moved onto bigger ponies and Dilly no longer has a regular rider. She is just far too good to be sitting in a field.

We are looking for a 5-star, ideally long-term home where she will be loved, included and kept busy. We are in no rush and would happily wait until Spring for the right home.

We would love to find Dilly a family where she can continue to have fun, go hacking, attend rallies and shows, and be a much-loved member of the family.

Lots of photos/ videos available to send you

Misty was bought for our daughter in November as her first pony, sadly she is a little too forward for our daughter who is a total beginner.

She is not a plod along pony she wants to go and please. She has done hunting and show jumping with previous owner.

Would say she is not a first pony and needs a confident rider not a total beginner.

  • 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 is 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 is not an issue.

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

All leads will be handled with discretion. Please feel free to give me a call, drop me a WhatsApp or check out my Instagram page @theponysearchagent

She does have some (minor) medical history (doesn’t affect riding, just requires maintenance) happy for any vetting & full details given on enquiry. Knowledgable parents are a must….She won’t be going to a novice home, people with their own land and multiple younger siblings will be given priority over price.

Molly loves to jump and will happily step up and go round a course of 70 with a light rider. Alternatively she ll pop over raised poles in trot to look after a little one at Pony club. Fantastic to hack alone or in company, not phased by traffic/heavy machinery.

Needs as much turnout as possible, though does like to come in with the worst of the weather overnight. Good to load, clip, farrier. Needs patience for the dentist but can be done without sedation.

Price negotiable to the right home. She will come with fitted tack (anatomical bridle & Kent & Masters GP saddle) and full wardrobe. Up to date with farrier, dentist, Chiro, physio, vaccinations etc.

After two very happy years, the difficult time has come to find Coco a new home, as our daughter has sadly outgrown him.

Coco is a much-loved lead-rein and assisted first pony who is ideal for a young child beginning their riding journey. He is kind, affectionate and incredibly easy for children to handle. Our 7 y/o can catch, groom, tack up, load and lead him herself, and all of her friends have enjoyed riding him.

He is perfect for teaching a tiny tot the basics, including rising trot, steering and gaining confidence around ponies. He is happy to pop cross-poles, hack, loves a PC rally, dressage and all other Pony Club activities. He won the overall points prize at our PC show this year in dressage, PC pony, SJ and WHP. He attended PC camp this year and was a star, has been to the beach, clinics, etc etc. Hundreds of videos on request. He will follow his leader like a lamb.

Coco is barefoot and lives out all year with other geldings, doesn't mind being stabled. He is straightforward to manage and loves attention and being included in family life, always the first to the gate.

He has been a wonderful pony for our daughter and has given her two years of fun, confidence and happy memories. He is only available because she has outgrown him and has moved onto a bigger pony. Finding the right home is extremely important to us and homes will be vetted.

He will only go to a loving, knowledgeable home where he will be treasured and has a new best friend. We would love his new family to keep us, and his previous owner, updated on his future adventures.

Full wardrobe including a fitted saddle and 2 rugs by separate negotiation.

Located 20 mins from Edinburgh airport and Waverly Station.

Trig - Approx. 13.2hh, 3yo, Cob x WB, Gelding.

Trig has been in the same home from 6 months old until 3 weeks ago, when he arrived with me to very lightly start his ridden career before finding his new home.

Trig is now approaching his second week under saddle and is confidently riding around the farm in walk and trot. He’s also been down through the village a couple of times and really enjoyed it. He isn’t phased by vehicles, is happy out on his own and is perfect out on the long reins too.

I don’t feel there’s much more for me to do with Trig ridden wise at this stage, as he’s only 3, but I’ve made sure he’s happy and confident with the basics ready for his next owner to continue with.

Trig has the sweetest nature. As you can see from his video, he’s a really kind pony who absolutely loves attention. He’s perfect to handle and is good as gold on the yard. He’s often the last horse I bring in and isn’t fazed by being left out on his own for a short period.

He attended a local showing competition as a 2yo and did really well. In his previous home he was often handled by a 10 year old boy and they were best friends. Trig absolutely loves children!

I’ve tried to cover a bit of everything in his video so hopefully you can see what a lovely little pony he is, especially for his age.

Good with the farrier and has recently had front shoes put on while here, purely because it’s very stoney. Up to date with dentist, vaccinations and worming. Has wanted for nothing.

Based in Leamington Spa

TANDY – 13.2hh | 15yo | Mare | Connemara

Tandy is a lovely pony who has been there and done it all. She has spent the last few years in a racing environment and is completely accustomed to large volumes of horses, gallops and a busy atmosphere.

She has done show jumping, cross-country, Pony Club and racing. She hasn’t been a serious competition pony beyond local shows and Pony Club, but with some schooling I think she could make a lovely low-level jumping pony, absolutely loves jumping and rarely touches a pole!

Tandy has also been used as a lead-rein pony and isn’t offended by novice riders. She is forward-going without being out of control and absolutely loves having a varied life. She is currently ridden in a gag and would suit a child who wants to get on and go, rather than one looking for a dressage diva!

She can happily be ridden bareback, hacks alone or in company and is:

• Good to box

• Good to clip

• Good to load

• Good to shoe

• Currently barefoot, but wore shoes while racing last year

• Up to date with vaccinations and teeth

• Happy living in or out

Tandy does wear a chifney rather than a headcollar when being handled, as she can occasionally forget her manners. This has been the case for many years and is simply something she is accustomed to.

She does have melanomas underneath her tail, which have remained unchanged for several years. Pictures are available and full disclosure will be given to any interested buyer.

Tandy has been known to have the odd buck if she hasn’t been in much work. Her owner estimates this happens perhaps once in every 50 rides, so it is very much an occasional occurrence rather than a regular habit. For this reason, she would be best suited to a family who understands and is comfortable with this, and who will keep her in a consistent level of work to get the best out of her.

✨ Comes with a full wardrobe.

A genuinely sad sale for her family. Tandy has a clean veterinary history and is looking for a home where she can continue to enjoy a fun, varied life.

Pandora - aka - Little Legs is an absolutely stunning traditional mini coblet. We re-broke her last year and she’s been nothing but angelic from the get go.

Pandora loves a fuss and a cuddle and is very quiet around her children. She hacks beautifully in company and is fab to do ride and lead with.

Pandora has a fantastic jump and three elevated paces for her dinky little legs. Her confirmation is spot on for her type and she is beautifully marked.

Pandora is a very forward little person, I always say she has go faster stripes! We were told she drives too but have never tried. She long reins beautifully though so she would probably take to it like a little duck to water.

Great to box, shoe, catch, clip, vet, farrier etc.

Only for sale due to personal circumstances and no regular little jockey so she’s wasted.

I’m confident she will hunt, show and do exceptionally well plus all pony club activities with the right little person.

Sad sale and 5 ⭐️ home with experienced mum only as she is still a little green.

U10 BS pony and fantastic all rounder


Ref #: 416409
  • Unbelievably easy to handle, including inexperienced hands; the yard favourite by some distance
  • Has done everything - pony club, hunting, xc, and recently started show jumping
  • Does not need riding every day to perform at the weekend; a real head turner at shows

  • Unbelievably easy to handle, including inexperienced hands; the yard favourite by some distance
  • Has done everything - pony club, hunting, xc, and recently started show jumping
  • Does not need riding every day to perform at the weekend; a real head turner at shows

Looking for a 128 that has done the Pony Club years, been hunting, gone cross country, and has only now, at ten, decided that show jumping might be her thing? Bella has, and she is rather good at it. She is currently popping around 80 cm courses with ease and has the scope to go higher.

A Welsh cross mare, she has spent her life doing a bit of everything and has recently started show jumping, where she is currently an under 10 pony with plenty of scope in hand for bigger classes when her rider wants them.

She is a real head turner and is the pony every child asks to ride, and the one we are happiest to hand to the least experienced of them when they ask to help. Bella is unbelievably easy to handle on the ground and sensible under saddle and will happily hack alone or in company. She does not need riding every day to go well at the weekend, which matters in a house with school, homework, a frantic family life and English weather... She also has bundles of character and turns heads with her striking markings as soon as she steps off the trailer.

Who is she for? An under 10 rider, or a child who has outgrown a very first pony and now wants a pony they can actually compete on. She is not a pony that will need a professional to keep her sweet during the week; she is a pony for a family who want to do a bit of everything and have a chance of winning as well.

Vaccinations, teeth and shoeing etc are up to date and she has no veterinary issues.

She is ready to bring huge smiles to her next jockey and provide hours of joy happiness.
