I have owned Higgins since he was 2 years old, he is a very sweet little pony that is wasted in my field as no jockey and we no longer go showing.

Shown in hand by my granddaughter a few years ago, judges love him. Lots of reds and sashes.

Would make a really good lead rein pony. He walks and trots on demand.

He loads and travels great and very well behaved at shows.

Lots of flowing mane and very thick tail, lots of bone, really sweet little head and an amazing long moustache in the winter.

He is not schooled as only had tiny children on him and he has mainly just been a pet.

Very straight mover, no dishing.

Lives out in mixed herds, but been stabled at an away show and loved it.

Lots of pics available.

Good with farrier, vet etc

Only vice is he is sensitive about you touching his moustache, so needs confident person to put the bridle on.

Brilliant 13.1hh mare

Bess can be trusted with the smallest of children .

Bess turning 15 this year.

Brilliant in Traffic we are next to an industrial estate and often has to give leads
She hack alone or in company
Great in open fields .
Use to all farm traffic

Turns out with mares or geldings.

Super lead rein pony . She works well in the school and moves very well - she rides bigger than what she is with a great stride so if off the lead would need a capable child not that she's naughty but she can cover the ground .
Out hacking this is where this pony comes into her own and she loves it !! you can trust her to the end of the earth she will go on her own and she will just pootle behind the bigger horses or ride and lead . She has seen all traffic and animals .

She will happily pop around but she has not done a huge amount of jumping but with work has the ability there.

My parents brought Bess last year for my sisters children but unfortunately the interest is not there and she can go weeks without been ridden . She is currently being ridden by my daughter but she has two horses and we do not have any smaller jockey's for her

We have taken Bess to pony club rallies in the Rain and snow she loads in the dark travels well on her own or in company. She has done the pony club hunt children meet on the lead rein .

Great for the children to do the sort you can tie up and leave them to do . Fantastic to clip !!

She is bare foot - fab for the farrier with great feet . She is up-to date with her vaccinations.

This pony needs a new best friend as she deserves it .

Please get in touch if you think she may be for you . She will come with her tack.

  • Experienced calm hunting pony wanted
  • Must be safe and quiet
  • Experienced long term home awaits

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.

Trial period as well as hunting references will be required, we can provide lots of references for ourselves.

Healthy budget for the right pony, or loan considered.

Whatsapp best contact method.

A dream childs pony in the making

George is a homebred pony, that has always been well handled & shown in hand as a youngster.

His dam is Bradmore Tinkerbell, grand dam is Deanhills Fairystory, and his sire is the Super Premium Dartmoor stallion Cayberry Final Salute. Registered with the NPS and eligible to be registered part bred Dartmoor. He is a 4 year old gelding, approx 12.2hands.

Lovely put together pony.

George has been broken and is going sweetly & is happy being handled by a tiny child. He is snaffle mouthed and has a lovely nature. He has been shown under saddle in a lead rein class where he behaved impeccably with a tiny jockey. He really isn’t phased by an atmosphere.

Will make a lovely show/dressage pony.

Due to his age & only just having being broken he is not suitable for a novice, but has proven to be a true child’s pony. Is only for sale as we have no jockey.

Lots of pictures & videos available to serious enquiries.

Pingu is a kind, confidence-giving mare who is happy both on and off the lead rein and will ride quietly in company or go in front on her own.

  • Suitable leadrein / first ridden / more experienced rider
  • Massive pure mounted games potential
  • Pony Club type

I’ve owned Rhoswen Harmony, “Pumpkin” for a few years, she is part of my small bespoke riding academy, much loved & immensely versatile. She’s a very well bred welsh c ( full history of parentage recorded in her passport), who didn’t make the height to show , but pretty and eye catching for local shows and pony club.

Initially ridden away by us and schooled ( with a consistent rider works beautifully in an outline) we took her out to a couple of dressage competitions.

As part of my academy she has taught children from three years on the lead rein to ride, to petite teenagers jumping a course of show jumps and everything in between. She can up her game and tone back down when required, a very useful, popular & versatile pony.

She is a firm favourite with my Special Olympics riders and SEN children, standing quietly to mount and dismount. Equally good leading her over a horse trials course as she is mounted. She has introduced & taught many riders to the thrills of canter, both on & off the lead rein. Used to poles, obstacles & show jumps.

She absolutely loves mounted games, in fact I think she would excel in this competitively, she’ll stay quiet on the lead rein if required, but goes up more gears with a more experienced rider who wants to be first over the line!

Good to catch, clip, with the farrier, groom, bath, vet, hacks round the village in company. Will live out or come in a stable. Lived out in a mixed herd with us & rugged all winter. Very easy to keep & economical with feed.

Could Ideally be suited to a variety of different riders, especially PC and easily produced on for mounted games competitively as she’s still young.

Loving, knowledgeable 5* home sort. No loans or LVTB.

Genuine serious enquiries

Personal change in family circumstances , no fault of Pumpkin.

Belle has the most beautiful trot, I really think she could wipe up out showing either in hand or ridden. Belle is a lower mileage pony, she’s had a couple of foals previously as she has very good breeding (thistledown).

She rides sweetly on the flat and would produce a lovely ridden test for someone, genuine over poles and shows a great jump on the lunge. She has been ridden by small adults however I think she’s more then suitable for a few young rider or lead rein pony from time to time. 

Belle loves to explore, she’s done lots of hacking out in the woods and on the roads.. she’s perfect in open spaces. 

Belle is barefoot, currently upto date with everything and ready to go and have fun with hopefully her forever home now. 

Belle is here with me on sales livery however I’ve worked with her before so I know her really well. 

Only for sale as her owner is struggling with time.

Rider is 5’2

FUTURE SUPERSTAR PONY CLUB ALL ROUNDER

  • A TRUE FUN PONY WHO IS BEING RIDDEN BY A CHILD

Timmy is a truly special little pony with all the attributes to become a top-class Pony Club all-rounder and a child / small adult’s best friend.

He is very genuine and willing in every way. He is currently ridden by a lightweight 13-year-old (5 stone) and is happily working in the school, walk, trot and canter. He’s popping a small course of fences nicely and has been cross-country, where he proved bold and keen, absolutely loving his jumping.

Timmy hacks out confidently both alone and in company and has been very good in traffic. He has a sensible head on young shoulders and takes everything in his stride.

He has been in the same loving place since a foal and has previously attended in-hand shows. He is now ready to go out and about and start getting some rosettes. Will be a cracking Pony Club.

Timmy is good to do in all ways — turnout, catch, stable, clip, bath, tack up, load, and handle.

A very sad reason for finding him a new jockey, he simply hasn’t grown big enough. This is a genuine, much-loved pony who will go on to be a superstar in the right hands. His family would love to stay in touch.

Still young and green, so he will need a kind, knowledgeable home to continue his education — but he has absolutely no malice and all the potential in the world.

His full wardrobe (rugs, saddle, bridle etc) are available to go with him for extra if wanted

We are looking for a first ridden to join our family for the long term and join our 3 other geldings. Preferably a gelding but if the perfect mare came along would definitely consider it.

My son who is 6 is just coming off the lead rope and loves riding as well as looking after a pony. He doesn’t need speed yet (thankfully) more laid back but not dead to the leg. The relationship on the ground is so important to him too as he spends his spare time on the ground with the ponies. So a pony that likes to be pampered and is polite.

He will do starter pony camp this year, he has a fantastic teacher who comes to our home.

Ideally no lami or sweet itch

Doesn’t matter the age as long as safe, will give confidence to my son to continue his riding journey and loves to be loved.

Price negotiable depending on right pony and very happy to travel

  • A true gentleman to have around

13h 18 year old Bay Schoolmaster Gelding

Has done all Pony Club activities including;

Camp, showjumping, xc, games, dressage, team dressage, handy pony, fun rides, beach rides and hacking.

He is super reliable, though he will never be the fastest, he always jumps clear. He can do jump off turns and isn’t spooked or phased by any coloured poles or fillers. He’s been round loads of XC courses and doesn’t look twice at the jumps - will jump skinnies, brushes etc. He’s always in the ribbons at shows.

Hacks out alone or in company. Has been frequently ridden in a head collar and lead rope. Not phased by traffic, dogs, bikes or farm machinery. Can be ridden in an open field and he is safe.

Stands like a gent for farrier, dentist and vet.

An absolute gem in the stable and in hand. Handled by children most of the time. Doesn’t kick, bite, buck or rear. Snaffle mouth. No fancy tack required. Lives in or out (currently out 24/7 and has wintered out the last 2 winters).

Loads and travels like a dream. Will stand all day at shows tied to the box, in the box or ring side without any issues.

Very sad sale as hopelessly grown out of and no younger sibling to pass down to. 5 star home is essential. He has been such an amazing pony for my daughter who was on the verge of giving up before she got him. He will bring years of fun to his new person.

Comes with tack, boots and rugs.
