Very sad sale of our beloved Dartmoor pony prince

He was broken by my daughter when Daisy was 8years old and has taken her to hoys and Olympia and been placed

He has been shown at top level from leading rein to first ridden and then went on to teach my daughter to jump and then qualified for hoys in there first jumping season together ending up 7th in the junior workers and the following year qualified again in the open 122 workers

He’s been to Olympia twice in the cradle and nursery stakes

He’s great would also make a fantastic pony club pony, basically he could do any job!!

He’s great to hack, xc, load, travel, farrier

He’s just 100% in every single way, he’s super kind and genuine and one of the easiest ponies, he is more of a kick than pull pony but is so safe

Always receives top conformation marks and consistent, he only had one pole all season last year jumping the open tracks

We feel he needs take another jockey round the cradle stakes/ first ridden circuit and would definitely take you to the top, never need plugs or calmers

He is only for sale as he is totally wasted and could give another family as much success as he has given us.

So many videos and photos available

TEDDY – SUPER 12.2HH COB | 5 YEARS

Teddy is an absolutely gorgeous little cob with a wonderful attitude and a very exciting future ahead of him. At just 5 years old, he has already proven himself to be a genuine, willing and sensible little pony who is happy to give pretty much anything a go.

Teddy is a lovely forward thinking but sensible ride. He goes nicely off the leg without being silly or sharp and is already becoming nicely balanced in walk, trot and canter. He has previously been ridden by an 8-year-old girl and is incredibly tolerant of a less established or wobbly rider, making him a fantastic prospect for a child wanting a pony they can enjoy and progress with.

He is happy to hack out alone or in company and enjoys getting out and about, making him a lovely little all-round pony for someone wanting to do a bit of everything.

He is still a little green in the school due to his age, but he is straightforward, willing and learns quickly. With a little more mileage and polishing, we think he will become a seriously smart little pony.

Teddy has recently started jumping but has taken to it brilliantly. He is incredibly willing, enjoys his work and approaches everything with a fantastic attitude. We could see him making a super Pony Club / all-rounder pony, with plenty of potential to progress further.

Teddy recently made his showing debut, where he behaved beautifully and was placed in every class.

Teddy has also recently been hunting and behaved impeccably giving his rider a brilliant day out. There is nothing this boy wont do.

⭐ 12.2hh

⭐ 5-year-old cob

⭐ Previously ridden by an 8-year-old

⭐ Happy with a wobbly rider

⭐ Forward but sensible

⭐ Hacks alone and in company

⭐ Nicely balanced in walk, trot and canter

⭐ Started jumping and showing great promise

⭐ Placed in every class at his first show

⭐ Loves attention, fuss and being pampered

⭐ Fantastic Pony Club / all-rounder prospect

Teddy is also a lovely pony to have around. He enjoys attention and being made a fuss of and has the sort of willing, happy attitude that makes him a pleasure to work with.

He would be ideal for a child wanting a fun, forward little cob who enjoys having a job, rather than something that needs constantly kicking along. Equally, he is young enough that his new rider can continue producing him and really make him their own.

A very genuine little pony with a bright future ahead of him.

Open to vetting.

Serious enquiries welcome.

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.

13 hands 6years beautiful piebald mare.

We are so sad about writing this but the time has come. This girl has been with us for a year now, and is definitely ready to move on. We are a loaning yard and she has taught many to canter or jump and she has definitely done her job. She is easy and straightforward and all the girls adore her.

She can take a wobbly unbalanced rider or nervous rider to a more experienced child. All these rider still have the best ride.

She has seen all fillers and been to many local shows she is truly fabulous easy around others and will jump any line or filler. Jumps regularly in classes from poles on the floor up to 60cms.

She has seen the hound and been on hound exercise and she again she was amazing.

My girls do everything with our ponies and no small adults around here. They are straight forward and well produced and seen every situation. The girls tack up and catch and groom by themselves and clover is such a good girl.

Clover hacks out on main roads and is use to farm traffic and she is golden. She swims in the river Avon and in open spaces.

Clover has been cross country and absolutely loves this and jumps everything.

Clover is ready to go teach her next child the ropes. If you are looking for a pony for confidence she is your girl or to step up from 30cms- bigger courses she is your girl.

Clover has no medical history and is an easy girl to look after.

  • Ride and Drive

Timmy is a super lead-rein/first-ridden pony and a perfect little family pony.

At 10.3hh, he’s an ideal size — small enough for little legs without being so tiny that they quickly outgrow him.

We’ve had lots of fun with him on the lead rein, at local shows and showjumping. He was used as a first ridden in his previous home and has been brilliant for my son learning to steer and become more independent.

He has a great little jump — we’ve only jumped around 30cm on the lead rein, but he definitely has scope for more. He does not mind an unbalanced rider over a fence at all. He's really safe!

Timmy is also broken to drive and loves it — great fun whizzing along in the cart!

He also knows a few tricks, including bowing.

He is super safe for children to lead and handle, doesn’t bite or kick, is great with other horses, easy to catch, an angel to clip and very good for the farrier. Barefoot never needed shoes as he's a tough sort.

Fully vaccinated and wormed. No lumps, bumps or sarcoids.

He has been ridden walk, trot & canter and popped small jumps off the lead rein with a 10yo. He has also been to local shows and arena hires, proving himself willing, genuine and keen to learn.

🏆 3rd in a cross pole class off lead rein with a 10yo

12.2, 12yo, liver chestnut, section C

Cleo is a wicked little pony, she has three flashy paces coupled with a scopey jump.

She is a forward ride so would be best suited as a second pony for a capable child, who likes to crack on at speed! (Jockey in the video is 11 and first time she had sat on her) This being said, she would also be suitable as a lead rein.

She has done a bit of everything in the last 3 years her owners have had her, pony club, showjumping, hunting (on the lead), etc.

She is impeccably behaved out hacking and looks after her jockey, not phased by traffic and is brilliant in open spaces. Also an angel to be led off another horse.

She is a delight to have around the place and is very mannerly, the type you’d be happy to leave your kids handle unsupervised.

Up to date with vacs, farrier, worming etc.

She would be best suited to a happy hacking, pony club home where she can be kept busy and have lots of fun. She’d also be suited as a lead rein.

✅ Pony Club superstar

Excellent conformation, beautiful paces and a great technique over a fence, he really does have it all.

Willingly jumping around a course of show-jumps / working hunter fences. He has also seen xc fences and popped straight over them.

He has attended many pony club rallies and pony camp on the lead rein with a small 6 year old child.

Star happily hacks out alone or in company through the forest and doesn’t get silly cantering in open spaces no problem at all.

He has numerous wins as a youngster doing in-hand showing.

He is obviously still a young green pony who needs more education and experience and although proven as a pony club pony has so much more to offer. He is one of the nicest cradle stakes ponies I’ve have seen in a long time.

He loves his work and doesn’t have a nasty or naughty bone in his body, he really loves to please.

Lovely to handle on the ground, good to tack up, stands to be washed, good to catch, load etc.

Firstly, Shelby has the most amazing personality. He absolutely loves being fussed and cuddled and is definitely going to be someone’s best friend!

Shelby would make a great pony for a child or small adult. He’s low mileage ridden, however you really wouldn’t think it! I broke him in myself 5 weeks ago for my equine vet, who owns Shelby, and he has absolutely loved ridden life from day one. He has previously driven and is such a safe, genuine little pony.

Shelby rides very sweetly on the flat with three beautiful, rhythmical paces. He isn’t phased if you lose your balance and is absolutely perfect in open spaces. He hacks alone and in company and takes everything in his stride.

Obviously, he is still green due to only having 5 weeks under saddle, but he is exceptionally quiet, genuine, fun and a very quick learner. He’s happily popping jumps and isn’t phased by little fillers.

I think Shelby would make a fab little Pony Club pony and be so much fun for someone to continue producing. Everyone who meets him instantly falls in love with him, and someone is going to be very lucky to have Shelby in their stable!

We are hoping to find a really good home for this handsome little star where he will be loved and enjoyed by a new little rider.

He has proved to be a safe fun pony, doing various PC activities, fun rides, hacking, training sessions. His current rider was 8 when she started the loan and she is now 10 and growing fast ..so looking for a bigger pony. Since I, ( the owner) don't have any children he is offered for sale.

He is not a whizzy pony... quite steady , although genuine enquiries can see his showjumping video where he does a lovely clear round at a good pace over a set of 50cm jumps with his loan rider.

He is available straightaway and can be viewed at loan home near Alsager, Staffordshire.

He has got a benign melanoma on his cheek near throatlash. It hasn't changed and doesn't affect him, but if you were to want him vetted that is something that would no doubt be mentioned.

Genuine enquiries please, we really want him to go to a kind knowledgeable home where he will be well looked after. He's such a lovely personality he does deserve a home where he will be appreciated, so please don't be offended if I ask questions about his next home.

**To enquire please text first as limited phone signal means I often miss calls and I do not use voicemail... at least texts usually get through and then I can go to an area of better reception to call you.

Price reduced to £2995 just over the next week , simply because rider is keen to find bigger pony now that she's grown, so whilst he is still with loan rider I've made his price more competitive to find a nice home for him. If he returns to me at my yard I will just put his price back to £5500 .

Minke is quite simply the pony every mother dreams of finding.

A stunning 8-year-old fully registered black Standard Shetland mare, beautifully bred, with exceptional conformation, an abundance of hair, clean limbs and the most wonderful temperament.

Minke has been totally home produced and successfully competed as a Lead Rein and First Ridden across Showing, Dressage, Showjumping and Working Hunter, including placing in HOYS qualifiers contested.

She is a fabulous-moving pony, effortlessly covering the ground while remaining smooth and comfortable for a tiny jockey. Most importantly, she has a genuine desire to please and gives her all every time.

Minke’s breeding is outstanding. Her full sister qualified for HOYS as a Lead Rein pony, while another closely related pony was crowned Open Shetland of the Year and M&M Lead Rein Pony of the Year at HOYS.

Away from the competition ring, Minke is every bit as special.

She hacks alone or in company, is excellent in all traffic seen, loads and travels happily, clips beautifully and is a dream for the farrier. She does not need hours of working in or ear plugs.

At home she is happy to stand for hours being groomed, pampered and adored, and is equally happy taking her little jockey for a quiet hack along the beach.

Kind, genuine, honest, willing and wonderfully straightforward, Minke really is the sort of pony that can be enjoyed by the whole family. She has been loved and cherished and is now looking for a very special 5⭐️ home where she will be treasured and given the opportunity to continue doing what she loves.

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.

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

My daughter has sadly outgrown her babysitter! Calypso has really brought her riding on. She has learnt to jump on him at 70 & 80cms. He has given her confidence. He has also looked after my younger daughter who is quite a nervous rider. Plus given pony rides to all their friends.

He is a true gentleman. For sale as very sadly out grown. A great kid's pony. Good to catch, clip, shoe, teeth, travel, hack out, groom, wash.

Mixes with other horses inside or outside.

Good on lead, or off lead. He will walk beside you if you need to walk with your child. You can also lead another pony from him.

He doesn't mind dogs & been used to heard sheep.

Videos available on request (trying to upload to you tube).

Looking for the best and kindest of homes for this sweet pony.

Absolutely top class Welsh Section A mare. I really think she has the potential to go all the way to the top as an RI/HOYS pony. Would make a fantastic LR/FR/Junior/WHP. She is a huge mover!

I have taken her to arena hires, clinics, showing, showjumping, working hunter, cross country and she has taken it all in her stride. She won the M&M inhand class at Northern Lights which was her first big show where she behaved impeccably. She has also been to British Elite where she did her first novice in a huge class and went beautifully. I really think she has huge potential as a WHP/ Cradle stakes pony as she has a cracking jump on her and is incredibly keen. She has done multiple showjumping competitions of which she has won and thoroughly enjoyed, as well as this she has done a working hunter / arena eventing style event which she also went clear in.

Her temperament is second to none and it really does break my heart having to sell her but I feel she is ready for the next step and will be such fun for someone. I will be very picky as to where she goes as she is a special little pony.

No lumps, bumps or vices. Good for the farrier and teeth. Always snaffle mouthed.

Please PM me on messages or WhatsApp if interested as can be a bit useless at answering calls!

Pudding is with us to find his new home. He has now been here for a week and has passed all his tests with flying colours. He’s been an absolute pleasure to have around and has taken everything we’ve asked of him in his stride.

We feel Pudding would make a super first ridden or 1.5/2 pony. He is a dream in a snaffle – easy to get going, easy to stop and uncomplicated for a little rider.

🎥 In the video below, Pudding is ridden by four different children – two 5-year-olds, a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old. He has been straightforward and genuine with them all, including being ridden regularly by my novice 5-year-old son.

⭐ He’s easy to catch

⭐ Easy to handle and look after

⭐ Easy to get going and easy to stop

⭐ Ridden in a snaffle

⭐ Loads happily into a trailer and lorry

⭐ Will happily stand by himself

⭐ Loves being with other ponies but is equally happy on his own

⭐ Up to date with farrier & injections

⭐ Teeth done this week

⭐ Ready to go and find his new little person

He really is a gorgeous little pony and has been an absolute pleasure. ❤️ My 5 year old son has taken quite a liking to him, so we’ll be taking him to mini show jumping, pony club, fun rides etc until he’s sold. We are actually taking him to a clear round tomorrow morning.
