  • Been there and done it - 3 x Pony Club camps, mounted games rallies, fancy dress

Teddy is our much loved 11hh, 14yo Dartmoor type gelding and the ultimate little gentleman. This is a very sad sale of a pony who has given our family so much joy.

He is a genuine lead rein and first ridden pony and definitely more woah than go. He has looked after his little rider beautifully and is a wonderful confidence giver.

Teddy has been exceptional at children's meets. He stands sensibly at the meet, happily goes along amongst the crowd and is equally content to stay quietly at the back on his own. He doesn't get wound up by the excitement and has been a wonderful pony for a child to enjoy hunting on.

He has been to three Pony Club camps and taken part in lots of Pony Club rallies, mounted games, fancy dress and general family fun.

He will do cross poles, mini xc jumps with no care of what they look like but he will not do this fowardly - he is no speedy showjumper and that is not where his strengths lie. He is the lead rein and first pony, the bombproof gent all rounder for kids to learn on safely. He is the stage before the 'second pony' that then takes children whizzing round the comps with the full confidence and joy that they gained from a pony like Teddy.

On the ground he is an absolute gent. Perfect to load and with the farrier, stands patiently to be groomed and fussed over by children and loves cuddles and affection. He really is the sort of pony children can enjoy doing everything with, not just riding.

He is a hardy native of Dartmoor type (not a registered dartmoor pony) who lives on fresh air and we are not aware of any previous health problems. Comes with saddle and bridle.

Teddy is well known locally and plenty of Pony Club families, instructors and others who have seen him in many different settings across the New Forest will no doubt happily vouch for him.

Home is incredibly important. We are looking for a long term Pony Club or hunting family home where Teddy can continue doing the things he loves and be adored. He would be particularly suited to a family with several children, where he can teach one after another and hopefully stay for many years. We would not wish him to go to a single 7 or 8 year old that already can ride as he is best suited for a longer term home where a child can enjoy the lead rein pony stage but instead then needing the next pony they can then continue off lead to the stage they need the true second pony.

With his height he is bigger than an oversized shetland but smaller than a typical dartmoor. Perfect for safety, enjoyment but the child at aged 8 or 9 will likely start to outgrow him.

Teddy has given us so much joy and we owe it to him to find a home that will love and appreciate him as much as we do. The right home is far more important than a quick sale, we can keep him for as long as.

  • Temperament is more important than breed
  • 13hh - 15 2hh
  • RDA centre needing LWVTB/Loan
  • Temperament is more important than breed

We are looking for any breed for LWVTB as they will need to be trialled in our RDA environment before purchasing to see if they're suited to this lifestyle before a participant can ride them. This is as much for the ponies as the suitability for riders.

Must already be ridden and has to be over 5 yrs old (RDA rules). Can accept some quirks but must be safe for our disabled riders. They will also have to pass a stage 2 vetting which can be arranged whilst on loan.

We can offer a high standard of care, a light work load so older ages are acceptable if sound.

We have stables but they live out as much as possible even throughout winter. We can offer small herd/individual turnout.

If you would like to check out our RDA centre we are online and Facebook as Elisabeth Curtis Centre.

Exceptional 12.1hh, 10 year old traditional coloured mare.

True first pony, lead rein, junior ridden or RDA pony.

12.1hh but really takes up the leg - previous owner who rode her at RIHS is 5 foot 7 and was not too big for her!

We bought Dolly for my twin 10 year olds, just over a year ago, primarily as my daughter, who rides with the Riding for the Disabled (RDA) desperately wanted her own pony. Her twin had never sat on a pony before. Dolly has taught them both to ride, including winning numerous classes over the summer, qualifying for the sunshine tour in first ridden, lead rein and in hand classes. My children do everything independently with Dolly – bringing in and turning out, grooming, bathing, tacking up, loading, feeding. She is a true child’s pony, I know that they are absolutely safe around her, no matter what they are doing. Dolly will stand for hours and hours to be pampered, groomed, bathed, plaited and cuddled.

Dolly is fantastic to hack. She hacks in gale force winds, rain or shine, alone and in company but mainly alone as we are on a competition yard with adults – with one of my girls riding, then they swap half way! She hacks on open countryside and has experienced out of control dogs running at her, barking and jumping at her and owners chasing them and stands still and calm. We have taken her up to the South Downs accidently at the same time as a cross country race and again she was completely non plussed by multiple high vis runners on narrow paths racing past her. She’s had mountain bikes zoom past, from behind her, and again not spooked or got upset. She has an exceptional temperament that is incredibly hard to find. We have taken Dolly up on the South downs, through woodlands, to the beach, to shows – both indoor and on grass and she has been brilliant. This is all with my novice daughters who had only ridden with RDA and the other never before Dolly. Dolly has been led from me in my power chair with our two dogs running alongside. My daughter hacked Dolly from the yard to the beach with a group of adults. She had to lead the group across the railway crossing as the horses were being silly. She stood on the beach whilst they had a good gallop, away from her and back towards and then they hacked home together.

After only a few months of riding, Dolly has taken both my girls to lots of shows – their first ever show she won her classes with both children! She is very easy at shows, happy to stand and eat a haynet, for the kids to walk her round, share an ice cream, be sat on bareback and played with. She needs zero working in. My daughter who had never ridden before getting Dolly is now confidently riding in first ridden and pony club classes and Dolly has competed in lead rein, in hand, junior handler, dressage, handy pony (where she was 2nd out of well over 20 entries), never coming away without a ribbon! She won her in hand coloured class at her last show. Dolly qualified for RIHS 2025 in the open coloured ridden class and would be a really top class junior ridden.

My girls mainly enjoy hacking, doing obstacle courses in the sand school, having lessons, lunging her, doing shows, trotting over cross poles, pole clinics and just generally playing with her. They do not canter and have no desire, they are both novice / nervous and have never wanted to progress to anything faster than a trot. Dolly is very well schooled and with her previous owner competed regularly in dressage and affiliated showing, qualifying for RIHS on her first attempt. Dolly would be a top junior ridden and would excel at both dressage and showing or equally as a cherished first pony, teaching tiny tots to ride or would be an exceptional RDA pony. I do not think jumping will be her forte – she will trot over very small cross poles but we have done nothing more. My ideal home is one where she is adored and pampered like she is here.

Dolly is well used to dogs and has met cattle, sheep and lots of livestock out hacking on the downs. She is not phased by tractors, bikes, motorbikes, cars and so on.

Dolly is excellent to catch, shoe, clip, bath, load. We have a single trailer but she has also travelled in company in both a lorry and trailer – she is loaded and unloaded by my children. You can do everything with Dolly without her tied up – I can clip her face etc with no headcollar. She is very easy on the ground, has no vices and is not mareish or difficult to manage when in season. She turns out alone or in company, is respectful of fencing, has been in by day and out by night over the summer and is out by day, in by night in winter. She stables alone if needed as is very content with a haynet! She is barefoot with good feet. Dolly is up to date with her vaccinations and passed a 5 stage vetting last year (2025). She has never been unsound, unwell or needed the vet, except for her vaccinations.

Any viewings, inspections and vetting fully welcomed – I have 1000s of photos and videos to show all the things they do together.

Please note, Dolly is very heavily feathered and as such these need maintence and care specific to traditionals- will talk this all through honestly with all buyers.

Ponies like Dolly are very few and far between and references can be obtained from both previous owners.

This is a devastating sale due to an unexpected and life changing medical diagnosis earlier this year meaning I am in and out of hospital and have a long, complex treatment plan ahead. Please absolutely no timewasters, or those not in a position to buy, as this is a distressing time for everyone involved. Home is of utmost paramount importance.

This is a sale only, no loans, I am very keen to stay in touch as is previous owner, if at all possible please.

Based West Sussex, excellent trial facilities. Price negotiable to very best home and a straightforward sale due to our difficult circumstances.

Dolly will come with everything - bridle, rugs etc, 6 month old made to measure Ideal GP by seperate negotiation.

We can potentially help with delivery.

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.

  • Lead rein and First Ridden
  • Safe for children to handle
  • 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.

Price includes saddle and bridle.

Cart and harness available separately.

13.2hh Coloured Gelding – 13 Years

A very special home is sought for our lovely 13.2hh coloured gelding, who we have owned and loved for the past five years.

During that time, he has enjoyed low-level Pony Club activities and plenty of hacking. He is a kind, genuine pony who is great with children and absolutely loves being pampered, groomed and fussed over.

Due to a leg injury, he is no longer suitable for more demanding ridden work. We are therefore looking for a caring, knowledgeable home where he can enjoy a quieter life with light, low-level riding. He would be ideal as a lead-rein pony for a child to enjoy gentle rides and hacking, with lots of attention in between.

He lives out happily, is barefoot and is a good doer, so is very straightforward to keep. He lives happily with others and also makes an excellent field companion.

This is a genuinely difficult decision after five years with us, so finding the right home is our priority. We would love to find a family who can give him a useful but easy life and, most importantly, a child who will love him and give him all the fuss he deserves.

Full details of his previous injury and current capabilities will be openly discussed with anyone genuinely interested.

Serious enquiries only please – a loving, long-term home is essential.

Pandora - aka - Little Legs is an absolutely stunning traditional mini coblet. We re-broke her last year and she’s been nothing but angelic from the get go.

Pandora loves a fuss and a cuddle and is very quiet around her children. She hacks beautifully in company and is fab to do ride and lead with.

Pandora has a fantastic jump and three elevated paces for her dinky little legs. Her confirmation is spot on for her type and she is beautifully marked.

Pandora is a very forward little person, I always say she has go faster stripes! We were told she drives too but have never tried. She long reins beautifully though so she would probably take to it like a little duck to water.

Great to box, shoe, catch, clip, vet, farrier etc.

Only for sale due to personal circumstances and no regular little jockey so she’s wasted.

I’m confident she will hunt, show and do exceptionally well plus all pony club activities with the right little person.

Sad sale and 5 ⭐️ home with experienced mum only as she is still a little green.

An eye-catching, top-quality 5-year-old fully registered bay Dartmoor gelding with a fantastic future ahead of him. Standing at a true 12 hands, he is a beautiful stamp of the breed, combining a lovely, kind temperament with excellent conformation and movement.

This lovely pony spent the summer out showing successfully on both lead rein and first ridden. He is a real head-turner who catches the judge’s eye every time, making him a highly competitive Mountain & Moorland (M&M) prospect. While he is not yet a "first-year first ridden" and needs producing further off the lead, he is incredibly willing and all the basics are established. He would ideally suit a lead rein showing home with an older sibling who can continue to produce him off the lead.

Aside from his ring potential, he is a sweet-natured and genuine pony who is a pleasure to have around the yard. He is good to hack—sensible, straight, and happy to go out alone or in company. He has an incredibly nice temperament, is easy to handle, and loves attention.

A truly special young pony who is ready to be produced further and make a family very happy.

Good to load and travel.Good with the farrier (unclipped to date).Up to date with vaccinations, worming, and teeth.Videos available on request.Serious enquiries only. Loving, knowledgeable home preferred to continue his education.

  • Beautiful Welsh Section A Mare
  • Successfully competed local showing, WHP, HT's, SJ and handy pony
  • Lovable little character

A true mountain pony type with the prettiest head, balanced conformation, clean limbs and active, free movement across all three paces.

Flossy is a lovely little character, who has been so much fun to own. She is willing, quick to learn, forward-thinking and loves a job. Never spooky - would prefer to march over and investigate new things than shy away!

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 behaved beyond her years 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, trot/cantering small courses, doing homemade handy pony and hacking through our fields and down the lane. She’s put up with wobbly moments while perfecting up-downs and first canters, 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 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 bigger fences at home, showing a lovely natural shape and love of her jumping. Not in the slightest spooky, she has jumped water trays, fillers, coloured poles, xc fences, ditches, steps and splashes happily through water.

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 offers option for STARS etc.

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.

She loves being groomed and fussed and is very low maintenance. She has been regularly ridden bareback, been dressed up in tinsel without batting an eyelid, ridden in just a headcollar, vaulted on, surrounded by dogs, sheep, poultry and has seen light traffic with no issues.

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 (07956107499) Hundreds of photos and videos available of all we’ve done together. Private yard with ménage in Derbyshire for viewings.

Immybrook Baltimores Boy (Pip)

Welsh Section A Gelding

My son has won everything with this pony Inhand. He is a pleasure to have at shows, will stand all day on the lorry, isn’t worried by other ponies being taken away etc.

Pippy is broken to ride and is a sensible forward going ride. Not nasty in anyway, loves to work! He is good both on and off lead rein. Happy to poodle round with tiny tots or go up a gear for a more confident child, he’s a versatile chap!

Hacks out alone or in company, good in open spaces and is used to farm traffic.

Excellent to do in all ways including bathing, dentist, farrier, travel. Pip is safe and sensible on the ground and to handle in all ways. He can be handled by the tiniest of tots and is never nasty in any way.

Happy to live in or out. Mixes well with mares and geldings or happy to be alone.

Delivery can be arranged

“Apples” is a Welsh B pony who is 20 years young.

We bought Apples in 2021 for our 6 and 8 year-old daughters. They have learnt to ride on him and now unfortunately very much outgrown him. He has had a three month share rider this summer who has had lessons, hacked him and taken him to local shows.

Apples has three great paces on lead rein, whether led on foot or ride-and-lead. Although not naughty or mean, he is not a novice ride off the lead rein; he can be quick and will take the rider to the arena gate if he gets the chance! He is not prone to bucking or bolting and has never reared with us.

Off the lead with a more confident young rider, he has three steady paces, jumps from trot or canter but only up to 50cm as he is tiny and getting older now.

Apples has done everything with us - from hacking to Pony Club rallies and mini camps to local shows (showing classes and show jumping with clears at 50cm).

Apples currently lives out 24/7 and was happily stabled by his previous owner. He has never had laminitis. He had a mild wheeze coming back into work this spring, which has settled and he's been given the all-clear by our vet. He is up-to-date with vaccinations, dentist, farrier (barefoot), worming, back checks etc. He is good with the vet and farrier. If left alone by his field mates, he will call and pace around but won’t do anything silly, especially if he has some hay to distract him.

Apples is a bit fussy tacking up (better if you put the bridle straight on, rather than starting with a headcollar) and can be fidgety at the mounting block if not held. He is easy for an adult to clip, although not a younger child. He likes affection and will seek you out more for scratches as he gets to know you.

He comes with a bridle, a set of turnout rugs, a fly mask and feed bowls. He is currently ridden in a tree-less saddle because it’s been hard to find a small enough saddle for him, but we can't sell the saddle with him unfortunately as it belongs to a friend.

Apples is very special to us, so we will only let him go to a home we are really happy with. We feel that he still has some fun years of low level work ahead of him before retirement. We would prefer more flatwork than jumping for him and courses of 50cm maximum.

  • A straight forward little chap who is handled daily by kids

A smart, eye-catching pony who has been an excellent first/lead-rein pony for my now 5-year-old daughter.

Herbie was bought as an unbacked 3-year-old in 2024. Since being backed he has taken everything in his stride.

Herbie and my daughter have shared many successes and experiences both in/out of the show ring.

He regularly attends Pony Club rallies. Has completed a 3-day Pony Club camp, where he enjoyed show jumping and games.

He is not spooky at fillers nor when faced with a rider carrying a large waving flag.

He is always willing to have a go at what is asked of him.

My daughter has hacked him off the lead rein and he has also been led from another horse.

Herbie is a responsive, light-in-the-hand pony who is a pleasure to lead.

Herbie is easy to handle and work with, regularly handled by my children, aged 5 and 7, who brush him, pick out his feet, bath and generally fuss around him.

Lovely to take out, relaxed in transit and happily stands on the lorry or trailer. Does not need lunged, ear plugs or calmers.

He is accustomed to a busy family and farm environment, including lorries, heavy machinery, quad bikes, chickens, dogs, and small children.

He enjoys hacking and has attended several common rides.

Good with the dentist and farrier (currently barefoot), and good to bath and clip.

He is a fantastic little pony with a bright future ahead of him and will be a wonderful addition to the right family.

Only for sale as my daughter is moving onto her sister’s pony, sadly, we can’t keep them all.

The best home is sought for this genuine and much-loved pony who will be hugely missed. Lots of videos and pictures on request.

Based South West Scotland.

The Night Agent - Percy - 7 yo/ 12.3 traditional Gypsy Cob

Extremely Extremely sad sale of The Night Agent, affectionately known as Percy, due solely to being outgrown. If he were 14hh, he simply wouldn’t be going anywhere.

Percy is a stunning black Traditional Gypsy Cob with excellent conformation and an abundance of mane, tail and feather. He has real presence and is a pony who naturally attracts attention wherever he goes.

He is a sensible, genuine pony, ridden and produced by an 11-year-old girl. Snaffle-mouthed, naturally working in an outline and adjustable to his rider, he is suitable for a smaller or novice rider but has enough ability to be enjoyed by a more experienced teenager or small adult. He has also been introduced to jumping.

Percy remained a stallion until the age of five, so was started later than many of his peers and consequently has low mileage for a 7-year-old. This gives his next owner a fantastic opportunity to continue developing him.

He has been well exposed to different environments, including Somerford, stay-away shows and evening performances, behaving impeccably throughout. He has also been lightly shown this season.

His quality, conformation and traditional type make him a very exciting prospect for the SEIB Traditional Gypsy Cob HOYS classes, with the potential to be a serious contender with further production.

Away from the spotlight, Percy is a firm yard favourite and is good to catch, shoe, load, clip and with the vet. He hacks alone or in company and is good in open spaces.

A brand-new, made-to-measure Black Country saddle is included.

A genuinely special pony who combines quality, temperament and potential, and one we would love to see go to a home where he can continue to thrive and fulfil his potential.

Serious enquiries welcome.

  • Pretty and kind registered Welsh Section A mare has been a wonderful pony for our daughter.
  • Unfazed by traffic and farm machinery, happy hacking along or in company, and has done pony club.

Whinny is a pretty , kind and genuine registered Welsh Section A mare who has been a wonderful pony for our young daughter.

We bought Whinny seven months ago from an experienced horsey family. Our daughter was just 3 when Whinny arrived and, over the past seven months, Whinny has patiently and kindly taken her from a complete beginner on the lead rein to the point where she is now ready to progress to riding independently. This is very much the reason we bought her, and she has been exceptionally good at her job. She is kind, patient and reassuring with a very young child, while still being an interesting and enjoyable pony.

Whinny is exceptionally unfazed by traffic, farm machinery, dogs, bicycles, prams, quads and the general activity of farm life. She is happy hacking both alone and in company, and has proved to be a wonderfully reliable pony for our young daughter. The previous owner had ridden Whinny extensively and described her as happy hacking both on and off the lead rein. In her previous home she had done local shows, poles, small jumps, games and Pony Club activities, and had been ridden walking, trotting and cantering on hacks.

Our focus since buying Whinny has been introducing our daughter to riding rather than repeating all of her previous activities, but we are very happy with everything we have seen of her as a young child's pony. We are an experienced riding family living on a farm in the Meon Valley, Hampshire, immediately next to Hambledon North Pony Club, with extensive off-road hacking and excellent local equestrian facilities.

Whinny is only being offered for sale because, rather unexpectedly, an excellent second pony belonging to friends became available to us and we were fortunate enough to secure her. We now find ourselves with one pony too many. This is therefore a genuine very sadly for sale situation and not a sale because Whinny is unsuitable.

We are looking for a kind, experienced and permanent home where Whinny will be loved and enjoyed as a family pony. She would be particularly well suited to a family looking for an excellent lead-rein pony for a young child, with the opportunity to gradually introduce them to riding independently.

We would also consider a long-term loan to the right home, for the right family and circumstances.

Whinny is a good-doer and requires sensible grazing and weight management. She is good to handle generally, although she prefers a calm, experienced adult for the farrier. She is fully up to date with farrier care, teeth and vaccinations and has been very well cared for throughout our ownership.

A lovely, genuine family pony who has given our little girl a wonderful start to her riding journey.
