A very sad sale of much loved pony.

5 yo, 11.2h Welsh A gelding (Glangarnant Calon Lan) Bought as a 4 year old as a first pony, unfortunately my daughter has grown like a weed so has very sadly outgrown him. He is a mother’s dream, safe as houses hacking/showing/jumping/travelling and perfect for someone coming off the LR into FR. I genuinely believe that the best is yet to come from this little pony.

Up to date with farrier/injections/chiro.

We love this pony a lot, so a loving home is very important. Please PM for more info

Billy - 16 YO, first pony on and off lead rein 11.2hh Gelding

My daughters absolute heart pony. Only for sale due to being outgrown.

Billy is quite well known in our pony club having attended numerous rallies, events, clinics, championships at Bicton.

Billy loves to go Xc and hunt these are his absolute favourite things to do. Keeps up with the TBs all day long.

He’s more kick than go and will always look after his little rider. He would suit a child that wants to learn to come off lead rein. He will follow mums horse everywhere and always sure footed and steady when crossing moorland.

In the school Billy is very pretty and has a beautiful movement.

Same home past 10 years.

For your consideration-

GOLDLANDS HOUDINI (aka HENRY)

3 year old gelding to make approximately 13.3hh

Mr perfect is offered to a top home for a short time only, otherwise he will be backed here, but we feel he would love his own personal human 

This pony will go all the way, a top prospect for HOYs junior classes or a small adult.

Where do we start; a true show off!

He is super to do in all ways, shows in a halter. He has shown since a weanling foal (3rd at chaps north east regional show as a 6month old), his showman streak continued from there with numerous wins & championships over the years. He’s qualified already this year for PONY OF THE YEAR SHOW 2026 & TOYs 2025, he is also entered at the great Yorkshire show this coming July, where he was 7th (highest placed 2 year old) last year in a mixed aged class of over 20 ponies. Like any of our youngsters he has not been over shown, a few successful shows a year.

Raised on a working farm, in a mixed herd, he is not fazed by anything. He’s good to travel and load in both a wagon & a trailer, good to clip/farrier/bath etc

He absolutely adores people, attention & showing off

Full CHAPs passport & fully vaccinated

No lumps bumps vices

Everyone who knows Henry adores him, quite a fan club already
Serious enquiries only, he will not be begged and will only go to the best home.

Based North Yorkshire

Any viewing/vet welcome

Bean

12hands, aged 13 gelding well bred Welsh Section A.

Has done all PC activities and hunted.

A super sweet boy who we bought a week before Pony Club Camp last year and has embraced everything. Hacks alone or in company not phased by busy traffic. He has a super movement so may suit a showing home. We have attended lots of local shows and all pony club events both on and off the lead rein. Can be nervous when ponies rush behind him so for that reason we are looking for a knowledgable home either on the lead rein or a 2nd ridden.. Super easy to do in every way but sadly looking for a new home due to my daughter moving on to another pony.

Hundreds of videos and photos. Up to date with everything. Tack included ( a recently fitted Arena Saddle)

Beautiful 12.2hh cob mare

SOLD! Our beautiful girl has found her forever with the most wonderful family
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 12 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Fantastic lead rein pony or companion
12 years old piebald traditional cob mare. She would make a fabulous companion, pet and lead rein pony!

She has a passport and microchip, she is fully vaccinated for flu and tetanus. She’s up to date with teeth, farrier and worming.

I rescued her two years ago with a young foal at foot, she was in a bad way when I found her but is now unrecognisable in every sense from the horse that came to me.

She is such a special little soul and I will only let her go to the perfect home, after everything she has been through in her life before I found her, I need to know that she has found a home for life.

I ride her in walk and trot and she is a very quiet and steady ride. But unfortunately I am too tall (I am 5ft10) to progress her ridden work any further. I have however been teaching my nieces to ride on her, the twins are 6 and the eldest is 10 and all three are complete beginners. She has proven to be a brilliant lead rein pony and is very patient with them, it has been so lovely to see her looking after them.

I do have her bitless and am more than happy to explain why to anyone that is interested in her. She is very well mannered and good to handle. She happily lives in or out.

I won’t sell her unseen and homes will be vetted. She deserves to find her forever where she will be safe and loved for the rest of her days. I am in absolutely no rush, just patiently waiting for her special person to find us. And in the meantime I will continue to teach my nieces on her.

No dealers, time wasters, no loans or payment plans. Forever homes only please. Serious enquiries only.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

I am very busy at the minute so messages are preferred, if I think you sound suitable phone calls can be scheduled.

  • Knows his Job
  • Pony Club
Blue is a lovely boy with impeccable manners and a kind nature. He’s excellent in traffic, loads easily, stands patiently to be washed, snaffle — never strong or silly.

He’s the steady, reliable type with more push than pull — not a whizzy ride, but a safe and consistent partner. Blue hacks out alone or in company, and can be ridden straight from the field, leaving his friends behind, never any napping, bucking, or rearing.

He is currently ridden by my 10-year-old and has done pony club, NSEA show jumping, beach rides, hounds and driven. He has a lovely, steady canter and can happily be a lead rein or novice ride, but also steps up when asked.

You can ride him in all weathers — wind and rain doesn't bother him, he remains calm and focused. He’s impeccably behaved at shows and never gets wound up; he knows his job and does it well.

We’re looking for a loving home for this very special boy who truly enjoys his work.
Tack and rugs included. No time wasters please!

Dear Peanut, 12.1hh 6yo Piebald gelding, superstar in the making.

Huge amounts of potential. A sweetheart in all ways (easiest pony I have ever come across). Just wants to please.

Over the past few months, Peanut has been taken out show jumping, showing (fancy dress as well!), cross country, on and off the lead rein.

Hacks alone or in company, never silly or strong, has seen traffic, big machinery, absolutely fine. Good in open spaces, happy to stay with friends or ride on his own (when asked to do so). Been out on exercise and brilliantly mannered with hounds, stays up front or goes behind. Should make a good hunting pony on or off the lead rein.

Driven by children in his previous home.

Great on the ground, loves cuddles, manners to burn. Super to clip, shoe, on the box and trailer. Was very behaved for the dentist (references available).

Whilst he is still young and green schooling, he's shown he's safe, willing to learn and potential to burn, and with make a super pony club pony with a few more miles under his belt.

Lives out currently, no history of laminitis. Happily left on his own or with a friend when he comes in the stables.

Bridle, saddle and rugs included

Loads of pictures and videos available upon request.

  • 21 years
  • 13.2 hands
  • Sad sale of our 13.2hh gelding
Paint is 21 this year but he doesn't look or act like it. He has been ridden by my 11 and 8 year olds and now it's time for him to find another family as we are moving onto a 14.2hh.

Will hack alone with confident rider but better in company. Needs to be in at night in the winter as he is a bit of a pampered prince so he won't go to a home with no stabling.

My children have had lots of lessons on him, but as we don't have a trailer he hasn't been out and about with us however we bought him from a showjumping home where he was regularly competing. Would be great on the lead rein.

Up to date with vaccs, worming etc. Shod in front. Good for farrier, to clip, bath, catch, load.

Comes with all tack and rugs.

Rocking Horse Lead Rein Gelding

  • Floaty paces
  • The perfect rocking horse canter

Frankie is a wonderful child’s pony. He has three lovely steady paces perfect to learn ups and downs but doesn’t need kicking to keep him going.

He has the most gorgeous rocking horse canter that you can jog along beside on the lead rein. He will pop over a jump beautifully, never over jumps.

In his current home he did many different lead rein activities including dressage, jumping, cross country, shows, beach rides and pony club.

He goes through water, is bombproof in traffic and hacks out alone. He will stand for hours for round the world, be dressed up, ridden bareback from the field and to be be groomed.

Frankie has been used as a first ridden previously but has picked up some bad habits and therefore the reason we feel he is best suited to a lead rein home (can be discussed if needed).

Full history known and references available from all previous 3 owners. Thousands of photos and videos. Frankie is much loved and will only go to the best of homes.

Would prefer people to call or can what’s app for videos if interested.

Beautiful Lead Rein Shetland.

Hamish has been part of our family for 5 years. He has taught my daughter, who is now 7 her up downs, taken her to Shows, Pony Club Rallies and Camp.

He loves children and mine feed him, muck him out, pick his feet, groom, bath and lead him around. He absolutely loves a fuss.

Hamish is completely wasted with us now as my daughter has moved up to the next pony and he now needs a new little person to love.

He has been driven in a previous home, but this is something we have never done with him.

Hamish will happily live in or out.

He is up to date with his teeth, jabs etc.

Will be sold with his Zoe Snape saddle pad and rugs.

We have lots of videos and photos of Hamish on request

Nottinghamshire | No loans | Loving home essential

It breaks our hearts to list this very special boy, but we simply can’t keep them all.

This registered black standard Shetland gelding (approx. 39”) was bought for our autistic son after a knock in confidence—and he’s been everything we hoped for and more. Kind, calm, and endlessly patient, he has gently restored confidence and trust in the saddle.

While still young, he’s got the most wonderful brain. He’s been ridden off-lead by an older child, and taken part in just about everything you can imagine—from gunfight cowboy games to picnic rides, football chaos, and noisy play sessions. Nothing phases him—he’s as spook-proof and bombproof as they come. We haven't had transport to show him but I've no doubt he wouldn't be phased.

He’s not *quite* ready to be called a first ridden due to age, but he’s got all the ingredients to become one. With the right family, he’ll go far—whether that’s as a much-loved family pony, a therapy companion, or a cracking child’s best friend.

Fabulous temperament.Good with children, dogs, and chaos

Standard size but not full-up Up to date with everything

This isn’t a rushed sale—we’re looking for a home that will truly value him.
He's worth his weight in gold, and we believe the right people will see that. We’re happy to wait for the right match.
