⭐ Beautiful Lead-Rein Pony Looking for Her Next Best Friend ⭐

It is with a very heavy heart that we are looking for a new home for our much-loved pony, who has been a wonderful friend to our children.

She is a safe, kind and experienced lead-rein pony who has attended Pony Club rallies and has given our children so much confidence and fun over the years. She is the sort of pony who really becomes a child’s best friend and is sadly only looking for a new home because our children have simply outgrown her.

She is happy to:
🐴 Go on the lead rein
🐴 Hack out with children
🐴 Enjoy Pony Club activities and rallies
🐴 Take part in mounted games
🐴 Have fun jumping
🐴 Enjoy being fussed, groomed and loved by her little people

She has been broken and brought on by our older children and has also spent time with a family friend. She has been a much-loved member of the family and is now looking for her next little rider to make just as many happy memories with.

We would love to find her a kind, caring and knowledgeable home where she will be cherished as a family pony and become another child's best friend.

This is a genuinely difficult sale, so finding the right home is far more important to us than a quick sale. Experienced, loving home only.

Heartbreaking sale of our much-loved Twinkle, only available as sadly outgrown. ❤️

We have owned Twinkle since he was five years old and have done everything with him during that time, so we 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 years old and riding him on the lead rein. Over the last three years they have genuinely learnt and grown together. He has taken her from those early lead-rein days to riding independently, going out competing and making some amazing memories along the way. Watching the two of them progress together has been incredibly special.

Twinkle is now 8 years old and is a genuine safe, sensible and fun child’s allrounder. He will hack, school, do dressage, jump, show and compete. He’s just as happy having a quiet day at home as he is getting on the lorry and heading off for a competition.

He isn’t just a pony who could go out and do these things — he has been there and done it. He has competed successfully across different disciplines, been Reserve Champion in lead rein, qualified for STARS and Trailblazers, as well as qualifying through dressage competitions.

Most importantly, underneath all of that he is still the safe, sensible and confidence-giving child’s pony who has looked after our daughter while allowing her to learn, progress and have fun. He has plenty to offer another little jockey who wants to build their confidence but also wants a pony they can get out and compete on.

He happily hacks, is good in traffic and open spaces, and is straightforward to have around. He is easy to catch, groom and handle and has always been very much part of our family. He’s the sort of pony 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 of him doing everything mentioned above and are more than happy to show his journey with us.

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. ❤️

Twinkle really is worth his weight in gold as a child’s allrounder. He would equally suit a little jockey wanting a safe, sensible pony to have fun with, hack and enjoy, or someone wanting to start getting out and about and progress into dressage, jumping and competitions. He’s already been there and done it, so there is plenty for his next little rider to enjoy without them having to produce a pony from scratch.

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. He has taken our daughter from lead rein to riding independently and competing, and we have extensive photos and videos documenting their journey together. 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.

We are on the hunt for that pony. 🦄

You know the one.

The mothers dream pony. The schoolmaster. The “why on earth are they selling this?!” type. The one you’ve considered having more children for…

Looking for:

🐴 12.2–13hh, gelding preferred (but a non-mareish mare very welcome!)

🐴 Kind, forgiving, mannerly & genuinely unflappable

🐴 100% in open spaces — we live on a farm, so no hedges to cling to!

🐴 Hacks alone & in company

🐴 Happy taking a small 9yo from 50cm towards 70cm without drama

🐴 Pony Club, school teams, hacking & generally being a child’s best friend

Our rider has a beautiful seat and hands and currently jumps 50cm out and 60cm+ at home on a saintly type.

What they absolutely don’t need: mind games, drama or “character building” via unexpected flying lessons. 😂

We’re looking for confidence, not chaos — the sort that encounters excitement and thinks, “Absolutely not. I’m a professional.”

The home is experienced, knowledgeable and slightly obsessive, on a farm with turnout, routine and a varied life. This pony will want for nothing.

We know these unicorns are rarely advertised… but if you have a special little legend looking to step down, be adored and make a child’s world, please get in touch. Emotional sellers very much welcome. ❤️

💰 Low 5 figures available for the right pony

📍 Ideally within 2 hours of Dorset

Please share — you never know where the unicorn is hiding. 🦄

Suzie

11.3hh 7year old Cob

The perfect second pony for a confident child or lead rein pony.

She is perfect for a farrier, dentist, load and bath. She can step up a gear for a more confident child or plod along with a more novice child. Suzie is still quite green so is not a complete novice pony. She loves to be groomed and pampered and will stand perfectly. She would make the perfect family pony for a child who wants to have fun. Suzie hacks alone or in company and doesn't bat an eyelid to any traffic. She is well behaved in open spaces. She has lovely manners and is very chilled and quiet, everyone who meets her falls in love with her quiet nature and how sweet she is.

She's been out to local shows and has behaved like a dream. Suzie has 3 solid paces which will mean in time she will do well in showing and would excel in the show ring. She's a complete tryer and wants to do the very best for her rider. Suzie puts up with anything and will do everything you ask of her. She currently lives on a busy yard but has also lived on a small quiet yard and has settled well in both. She can be a bit horse shy with other horses but this can be worked on with time.

If you think that you have the perfect home that we are looking for for Suzie pm me. She will only go to the best home where she will be loved forever.

This pony is an absolute mothers dream has been an absolute pleasure to own for the last 2 years and brake in. Perfect to do in every way good to travel good with the farrier and is super well handled by children.

Must go to a home where he will be loved and have plenty of attention as he’s happiest playing with the children and following you round the field like an overgrown dog.

Can be ridden on the lead rein and off nothing appears to phase him can also be lead from another horse.

This pony was bought to brake in for a little boy who now requires payment to ride as he has lost interest thus sadly surplus to requirement.

Scooby Doo – The Ultimate First Pony

Scooby Doo is the quietest, kindest and most sensible little pony you could ever wish to meet. He is exceptionally safe, with impeccable manners both under saddle and on the ground, making him the perfect first pony both on and off the lead rein.

He will happily walk, trot and canter beautifully on the lead rein for children taking their very first steps into riding. Off the lead rein, he is equally happy carrying riders who are holding the saddle handle while building confidence, as well as those riding independently. He truly has a young body with an old head on his shoulders. He is never spooky, sharp, strong or silly and always takes wonderful care of his riders.

Over the past 15 months, Scooby Doo has worked in a professional riding school where he has safely taught hundreds of children, from tiny tots aged just two years old through to more established young riders. He has patiently introduced countless children to walk, trot, canter and their very first jumps. He has three beautifully balanced, steady paces and responds exceptionally well to the voice, allowing beginners who are still holding the saddle handle to be guided confidently without needing rein contact.

Scooby has never bolted, reared, bitten or shown any nasty traits. He has the sweetest, kindest nature any parent could wish for. He IS NOT cheeky, mischievous or naughty like some little ponies can be. He greets everyone with his ears pricked forward, comes to call from the field and absolutely adores kisses, cuddles and attention. He truly is every child’s dream pony, with the most adorable little face that you simply can’t help but fall in love with.

He waits patiently in group lesson waiting for his turn, is equally well behaved in private lessons, and has taken part in our in-house competitions including Lead Rein classes, Handy Pony, Fancy Dress and Pony Club rallies.

He has a lovely snaffle mouth and requires no gadgets.

Scooby is affectionately known as our “large puppy dog” because of his incredibly affectionate, gentle and loyal personality. He adores people and will happily follow you around the yard without a headcollar or lead rope. He stands quietly to be groomed, bathed and fussed over, and genuinely loves attention.

His manners are second to none, allowing even the youngest children to confidently catch him from the field, lead him, groom him, pick out his feet, tack him up and care for him safely.

He is a firm favourite during our stable management courses and therapy sessions, where his calm, trustworthy nature allows children to build confidence while working independently.

Scooby is exceptional out hacking. He is completely unfazed by heavy, fast-moving traffic and has seen everything from articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors and trailers to motorbikes, bicycles, prams / trolleys and dogs, absolutely nothing fazes him.

He hacks confidently both alone and in company, happily leading or following. He is never strong, nappy or silly and is perfectly content to stay at the back of the ride without trying to overtake, maintaining whatever pace is asked of him. In open spaces he remains calm, relaxed and sensible. If the other horses canter away, Scooby is more than happy to stay behind with his rider, and he will patiently wait if the others return home ahead of him.

Scooby enjoys jumping and will happily pop a small course of coloured or rustic fences, both on and off the lead rein, always giving his rider confidence.

He is excellent to clip, catch, load, travel, shoe and stands perfectly for the dentist, farrier and vet. He loads first time, every time, travels impeccably and is an absolute pleasure to take out and about.

Scooby has recently passed our annual Riding School Licence inspection, carried out by a veterinary surgeon, which is comparable to a Stage 2 vetting.

During the entire time we have owned him, he has never been sick, lame, suffered from colic or required any time off through injury or illness. He is fit, healthy and in excellent condition, with no sarcoids, sweet itch, laminitis, lumps or bumps.

He is wonderfully low maintenance and doesn’t need riding every day. He can happily have four weeks off and return to work exactly as he left it, without any fuss or freshness. He currently works four days a week in our riding school and thoroughly enjoys his job. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available for viewing.

Scooby has a very simple routine and is incredibly easy to keep. He has a basic diet of haylage when stabled and grass when turned out. He currently lives in a mixed herd of 25 horses, is stabled during the day when working and turned out overnight. Equally, he would be perfectly happy living out full-time or being stabled full-time. He is not clingy and is equally content living or turning out on his own if required.

Scooby is only available because we regularly rotate our riding school horses after around 12 months to two years. We strongly believe these wonderful ponies deserve the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one family home where they receive individual attention, more variety and plenty of fun adventures. They work incredibly hard teaching children and give so much of themselves every single day, so we feel they deserve the very best next chapter.

Whoever is lucky enough to buy Scooby will not just be purchasing a pony—they will be gaining a kind, genuine and utterly trustworthy family member who will give a child years of confidence, fun and unforgettable memories.

12.2hh 7-Year-Old Registered Dartmoor Gelding by Springwater

A very reluctant sale of our much-loved Dartmoor gelding, who has been with us for the last 2½ years. He has been produced slowly, sympathetically and correctly, and we feel he is now ready for someone to continue his education and fulfil his huge potential.

He has mainly hacked with us, is ridden weekly by a lightweight professional trainer (approximately 6 stone), and has also been happily ridden by our 9-year-old daughter. Last summer he was regularly schooled in an arena, ridden by a child and has attended a handful of local shows. At his most recent show, the judge described him as “spectacular”, commenting that he simply needed a little more mileage and experience.

He has exceptional Springwater breeding, and has the most beautiful pony head, kind eye and outstanding movement. We genuinely believe he has all the attributes to make a superb showing pony in the right hands.

He is a pleasure to own. Easy to groom, load and handle, he is polite and respectful on the ground with no bargy or pushy behaviour and would also make a fabulous in-hand show pony. He lives happily in a mixed herd, sits comfortably in the middle of the pecking order and has a lovely, kind temperament.

He has never shown any signs of laminitis, has never been footy or lame, and has always been carefully managed. He is up to date with podiatry and annual dentistry and vaccinations, and we have always prioritised his health and wellbeing.

He is still green in his schooling simply because he has been allowed to mature at his own pace rather than being rushed. He is a soft, sensitive boy rather than a cheeky or bolshy pony, and he deserves a rider who can continue to build his confidence and education.

While he has been ridden by our daughter, we would not describe him as a first ridden or one for a tiny child to canter off on independently. We feel he would be best suited to a confident child aged around 10+, a teenager or a small adult who will enjoy producing a quality native pony.

The only reason for this sale is that our daughter has suddenly had a growth spurt and, with him being her third pony, we simply aren’t doing him justice. We would much rather see him in a home where he can continue progressing and be someone’s special pony.

Ridden videos available.

📍 Ditchling, East Sussex

Asking four figures (starting with a 3)

The very best home is far more important to us than a quick sale. Serious enquiries only, please.

  • She has the foundations in place to be the perfect child’s pony

True mountain pony type with the prettiest head, balanced conformation, clean limbs and active, free movement across all three paces. She is willing, quick to learn, forward-thinking and loves a job.

Flossy is a lovely little character, who has been so much fun to own. With my youngest daughter on the lead we had a busy and successful lead rein season in 2025 competing in ridden showing, working hunter pony, hunter trials, SJ and even handy pony. She has behaved beautifully in the ring, producing mannerly shows when required, or happily upping the pace for a competitive round when showjumping against the clock!

At home she has introduced my daughter to riding off-lead, trotting round poles and cross poles, obstacle courses and hacking through our fields and down the lane. She’s put up with wobbly moments while perfecting up-downs and first canter strides on the lunge, and has stood patiently whilst being poked and prodded, brushed backwards and for those awkward first attempts at picking out feet. This current season she has had outings off the lead rein, competing in beginner showing classes, WH and exploring local lanes and xc courses.

My eldest daughter (10) has also taken her to arena hires, xc and show jumping where she has been bold, brave and super fun competing up to 50cm, and popping the odd bigger fence at home. Not in the slightest spooky, she has jumped water trays, fillers, coloured poles, xc fences, ditches, steps and splashes happily through water. She has untapped potential in WHP classes for a competitive little jockey (Tiny tots, Cradle Stakes, M&M etc) with her beautiful natural jump.

Whilst mostly showing at local level, Flossy was 3rd in the one LIHS LR Working Sports Pony we entered - in a ring full of top class combinations - so she also is a neat little prospect for STARS, LIHS and the Burghley WSP classes.

She has been introduced to fancy dress, handled regularly by children, loves being groomed and fussed and is very low maintenance. She has been regularly ridden bareback, in a headcollar, vaulted on, surrounded by dogs, sheep, poultry and has the foundations in place to be the perfect child’s pony.

Never sick or sorry, marches out of her stable every day and is very easy to have around. No health issues, fit and well. Good as gold for the farrier, clipping, bathing and up-to-date with dentist, physio and vaccinations. Loads and travels like a dream.

Will come with bridle and her rugs. Black Country worker saddle available by separate negotiation as bought new. Also full Le Mieux Wisteria set available if interested as this is “her colour”!!

We seek a knowledgeable and loving family home who can offer a varied life. I ask that no novices express interest due to her age and stage. She is not fully established as a FYFR as still low mileage and needs clear guidance from her rider, but is a truly lovely little family pony with so much to give.

Phonecalls preferred. Hundreds of photos and videos available of all we’ve done together. Private yard with ménage in Derbyshire for viewings.

Our lead rein queen has done her job and my daughter is now ready to move on. My daughter has gone from being wobbly jelly, to a beautiful rising trot, first canters, and winning show jumping rounds, all on the lead. They won the winter showjumping league in May in both x-poles and 40cm. She’s also got 4x qualifications for sunshine tour at Hickstead which is my daughters dream, however, the new pony has fallen into our hands and we can’t keep two, as much as we’d love to!

She is an 11.3 (LHC) REGISTERED Welsh A chestnut mare with flaxen mane and tail. The pretty type you could show if you were a showing family- we are more into handy pony and jumping.

There are not many ponies you can take in the garden/house and on the school run with around 70 school kids surrounding and grabbing at them, she really is the most chilled lead rein pony.

She’s the type that can be bathed and plaited by kids, cartwheeled around, dressed up with sheets over her head to be a ghost(!) at halloween, tinsel at Christmas, all the non-horsey school friends coming for rides after school and have non-horsey dads tack her up!

She is not being sold as a first ridden as has not been used as this, she’s been our lead rein queen. I imagine older competent siblings or petite parents could school her and get her to this stage, but that’s not for us.

Great to load, clip, trim(barefoot), happy to stand on box all day, chilled at shows, up to date with teeth and vaccs etc. Fit and ready to go after a successful camp!

Tonnes of videos and pictures. Serious enquiries only as I will have a heartbroken little girl during this process. 07827441311.

  • 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

  • Everybody's favourite .... unbelievably easy to handle
  • Has done everything - pony club, hunting, xc, and recently started show jumping
  • Would make an amazing under 10 pony

Bella is without doubt the yard favourite.

She is so easy to handle even for those who might be inexperienced. She has character and is a real head turner at shows. She is ideal for a family who want to do a bit of everything, she is so versatile and is not a pony that has to be ridden every day to perform well at the weekends. If your chosen discipline is show jumping, she would make a fantastic under 10 pony.

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

  • Ideal starter pony
  • More whoa than go

Twinkle is an ideal starter pony for a child that wants to learn the basics whether that be on the lead rein or independantly, up downs / first canter/ first jumps etc safely and is happiest at this level.

🌟🦄Twinkle 🌟🦄

Has taught my daughter to ride competently and confidently off the lead rein walk, trot, canter and jumping a small course, she is the perfect pony for any small jockey to learn the ropes on and off the lead and 100% knows her job as this.

Attended many pony club rallies, dressage competitions, arena hires, clear rounds, beach , farm rides.

She hacks alone or in company always reliable, never spooky or silly 100% bomb proof on the roads. Will be lead from another horse with / without a jockey.

Perfect in open spaces, farm rides, beach etc will go at the front or back doesnt get silly on outings. Handled by my daughter for everything.

Good to clip, shoe, teeth, bath etc .

She does have small vet history none of which affects her in any way ridden and is in full work,.a small compromise for such a wonderful pony for a child to learn the ropes independently.

This is a very hard decision of our much loved pony, we must find twinkle the very best of homes, I am in no rush for her to go.

With full wardrobe (except saddle)

Quality, Kind & Talented. A Kids Pony with a Bright Future

  • Loves XC, fun rides and is super in traffic
  • Kind and mannerly on the ground

Albie has been an absolute joy to have on loan this year, but the time has come for him to find his own forever family.

During his time with us, Albie has turned his hoof to a bit of everything. He has hacked, hunted, fun rides, ODE and even tried his hand at side saddle!

Albie has exceptional movement and real dressage potential. He literally floats across the ground with a beautiful, expressive trot that would turn heads even at HOYs level. He’s actually a joy to look at on the lead dinking around with a tiny tot aboard. He will happily take a wobbly jockey round on the lead rein.

That said, his jumping ability should definitely not be overlooked! He is naturally talented, shows plenty of scope and makes a lovely shape over a fence. He’ll trot down to 70cm so height is not an issue for him! Most importantly, he genuinely seems to love his jumping and with further mileage has all the attributes to become the ultimate mini worker or Pony Club all-rounder.

Results (2026)

Qualified Solihull Diddy ODE Championships

1st’s in unaffiliated LR and FR showing classes

Clear rounds PC SJ/WH up to 60cm

Jumped BSPS tiny tots

He is fit, sound and ready to go, with no vices and a wonderful personality. He adores fuss and attention and is a pleasure to have around.

As a young pony who is still a novice, Albie would benefit from an experienced home that can continue his education and bring out his considerable potential. He is only 5yrs and so not a FYFR.

Albie has been great loading/catch/farrier/baths/clips/plaiting up etc with us. He’s not too keen on his forelock being washed but show me one that is!

Albie truly special little pony with a very exciting future ahead of him. I have tons of videos available to genuinely interested families.

With her kind nature and willing attitude, she could suit Pony Club and would make a fantastic family pony for someone wanting a fun youngster to continue producing.
