Lettuce is a beautiful expressive uphill mover. She has been impeccable on every outing proving to be an old head on young shoulders.

Lettuce is proving to be very bold and brave jumping with a beautiful technique and scope. We feel she would excel in working hunter, jumping or just an all round competitive fun pony.

She is a beautiful model of a pony who is going to do well in the show ring in any class.

She would suit a competent/knowledgeable home due to her young age, milage and still being a bit green but there's nothing to say she wouldn't suit an absolute novice in the future as she has a lovely temperament and looks after her young riders.

Good to clip, with farrier and teeth etc.

She is priced realistically for her quality and potential and her price will continue to increase the more we do with her. Message if interested for more information and videos.

Now SOLD subject to collection!

We got Sharaya when my son was 5 and he was a complete beginner, Sharaya has taken him from a bobbly lead rein to being able to come off the lead rein. We did have Honey Crawford to school her at this point to get her more establish with the canter as she just did a fast trot with my son.

From then each year they both moved forward adding more things.

He then started doing competitions and has been very successful, and also doing pony club.

The bond between them have grown so much over the years and now he is jumping courses of 70’s and has been racing at haydock park race track.

He has so much confidence now and that is all down to his journey with Sharaya, but now that journey is coming to the end as she has been sadly out grown and now time for him to move onto his next pony which he says he just wants a bigger Sharaya.

I don’t believe any pony is perfect but I couldn’t have asked of anything more from her over these years, she only deserves the very best.

We have had Sharaya for 5 years now and if I could stretch her or had younger children she wouldn’t be going anywhere.

We have done everything and been everywhere with her and my son.
Beach rides
All Pony club activities, mounted games on the lead rein she is fantastic but off lead rein her competitive/cheeky side comes out.
Farm rides
Gallops, kelsell, aintree race track and raced at haydock park twice.

Good to clip but she doesn’t like it around her ears. She can be fresh after a clip if she gets cold (just more forward) but if you ride her with an exercise sheet on she is fine.
She is happy to be ridden out on her or in company.
She is handled by my son daily who does most things with her.
She walks back and too from the field like dream.
She hasn’t been on the roads a lot as we are straight on bridle paths where we are.
Never rode by an adult only children.

She is shy with new people but if you take your time with her and build the bond she will love you forever.

She is ready to get straight out doing everything.
She is barefoot, good doer, up to date with everything. Happy to live in or out. No vices. No health issues.

Pete is a lovely quiet pony who has sadly been outgrown by my 10 year old daughter.

Pete has been turned away for the winter and is now in gradual light work (hacking).

We have owned him for around 18 months and he has never done anything silly and even now after not being ridden for a few months has stayed the same laid back pony as before. He has given my daughter so much confidence to now go onto a bigger and more forward pony.

Last year with Pete we done lots of hacking, local showing and pony club rallies. He’s not a pony that needs to be ridden every day and never sharp or fizzy.

He is good for vet, farrier and is up to date with worm treatment, vaccinations and farrier (barefoot).

I am wanting the best loving home for Pete to continue his education further so experienced homes are a must.

Pete does have a vet history that I will be completing honest about and this will reflect price, this does not effect his ability to be ridden

No loans/Trials he is for sell only. Will only be sold to people who come to view.

Pete is priced without tack, Bridle and saddle available at extra cost.

Percy is 7 years old and by Glyncoch King Cai out of Plasderw Picabo. We bought him from the Friarly Stud as a 3 year old and had been in the same home since.

Percy has a lovely temperament and has easily been handled and led by a 3 year old child. He has been ridden both on and off lead rein, and is a straightforward ride. He is currently very low mileage due to lack of rider, but would excel as a lead rein show pony. He has been correctly started and is easy to long line and work from the ground.

He would also make a good ridden prospect for an older child. He is full brother to Friarly Pablo who has many wins in showing and dressage.

Percy is good to catch and handle, loads and travels easily and is good for the farrier. He is fully up to date with vaccinations and dentals.

Price includes a fitted saddle.
Sad sale due to lack of rider.

From the successful Welsh pony breeders Waitwith Stud, Waitwith Jeneva has all the qualities to be the next star!

Recently backed and brought on, she is going beautifully on and off the lead rein in walk and trot and her canter is progressing well too.

She has only ever been ridden by children which is a testament to her temperament, they do not come more genuine than her.

Attended her first show for practice last weekend and was an absolute diamond, no lunging needed, she took every minute in her stride.

A true Barbie pony! Golden palomino with a bright white mane and tail. Excellent conformation and beautiful movement.

She has hacked out alone and in company and is sensible on the roads. She is the easiest pony to have around, she is quiet and straight forward, you could trust her around the smallest of children.

  • Offering a varied and fun life

We are looking for a superstar pony for our petite 8 year old (120cm) approx 11.2 - 12.2hh

He is walking, trotting and cantering off the lead and currently trotting small courses up to about 40cm.

We are looking for a kind, experienced pony who can hold his hand and help his confidence soar and safely take him out to competitions - primarily dressage and showjumping. Must know their job and not constantly test as the nerves can sometimes creep in.

Will have a varied life to include lessons, beach rides, farm picnic rides, hacking, NSEA and pony club.
Must go for little legs and be suitable for a child to handle.

We would love a true child’s best friend - the sort you can do fancy dress on at your local show, go to camp or stay aways without them getting unsettled and most importantly, something that enjoys lots of cuddles and kisses!

Some minor health conditions considered as long as disclosed and reflected in the price.

We are an experienced family home and have a younger sibling waiting in the wings, so would like something that we can treasure for many years.

Sensible budget.
Ideally located within 2 hours of Dorset

  • Great pony for kids to learn to ride.

A bit about Clover: 14years old Welsh A, approx 11.2hh, owned for two and a half years. Has taken my daughter from just getting off lead rein to completely independent. Has done lots of hacking around the farm (probably her strongest suit), Pony Club camp x 2, rallies, local shows and lessons.

She jumps up to 40/50 (we’ve not asked her to do more) . She is a sensitive little mare and would suit a lead rein or else she needs a confident but sympathetic jockey. She is never sick or sorry, lives on fresh air, currently living out in a mixed herd but she does feel the cold if it is wet and would probably prefer to come in at night in the winter!

She is good to clip, for farrier and vet (has only ever needed vaccs and teeth doing!) and loads and travels brilliantly. She is barefoot and up to date with vaccs, worming, teeth and comes with tack and rugs. She is comfortable will all farm machinery and a variety of animals! Snaffle mouthed and never strong or taken off.

Has a perianal melanoma that has changed minimally since we got her. She is a sweet pony and does not do to much wrong but like most ponies when kids are learning to ride and not doing to much on top she is capable of doing the odd small spook. She will teaches the child to kick and tell them to get on with it! She does not do anything dangerous or determined.

She has been with only 3 families since she was 3yrs old, so not been passed around. Very calm in the stable and field, not worried about being on her own.

  • A really quality little mini cob mare
  • Sweet and kind in everyway

Penny is a really quality little mini cob mare .. 12.1 at the moment  4 yo .. but still has a bit of growing to do .. likely to make strong 12.2.

Clean limbs, good sort. Really lovely temperament.. sweet and kind in everyway.. the type you can fetch all the others in and leave in the field and she won't flinch. A really gentle little mare.

Done plenty of lead rein with my little boy but he is not the slightest bit interested so someone else may as well be enjoying her .. we did LR classes, handy pony , fancy dress and even some tiny LR jumping last summer..he can barely ride or rise so she was quite used to him wobbling about all over the place..videos attached show her temperament..

Nanny (65) did some light work with her off the lead rein last summer.. hacking, riding in the woods and she went on a arena couple of times before being turned away for the winter to mature.

Back in a few weeks and hacking out .. really filled out and matured but still has plenty left to do .. no bother to get on .. you could leave her for a year and climb on .

Obviously a young pony so needs producing further and educating but has a very naturally quiet temperament and is easy in all respects. 

Ideal for LR or for a small mum to produce along side child.. or plenty big enough for a little adult.. ( nanny is 7. 5 stone ish )  . Has lovely paces and a neat little jump.. enough step to progress up the BD levels produced or make a fantastic family allrounder.

Not too many like her around. Good to box,trim and on traffic.

Long term loving home please. 

Video attached taken today 13/02 .. first time in arena since back in work.

Based oswestry,shropshire.

Price will increse as we hace her out to clinics and competitions.

A truly special 12.2hh, 10 year old palomino mare who is worth her weight in gold. She is the type so many families search for but rarely find – safe, genuine, beautifully schooled and with the sweetest temperament.

She is absolutely bombproof on the roads and sensible in open spaces. She has been ridden both on and off the lead rein and gives her jockey complete confidence. She is forward going enough to be fun and allow a child to progress, yet always safe and mannerly. She is ridden in a snaffle at all times and has three lovely paces, moving straight and correctly with clean limbs.

She has attended Pony Club rallies, competed at stay away shows and has been shown successfully at county level. She knows her job, behaves impeccably at competitions and is easy to handle in busy environments. Whether you are looking for a confidence giver, a competitive all-rounder or a beautiful show pony, she truly has done it all.

On the ground she is a total sweetheart. She will happily stand all day to be groomed and fussed, loves attention and is a pleasure to have on the yard. She has no vices and is good to load, clip, shoe and in every way. Easy to manage and kind in nature, she really is a genuine child’s pony.

Only available as sadly outgrown. A 5star knowledgeable home is an absolute must for this much loved mare.
