It is with great sadness that Carnsdale Harrison is offered for sale.

Harry is a true stamp of a show hunter pony, he is a lovely pony to have at home or on a yard with a lovely temperament and very correct conformation. Harry does have a scar on his rib cage which he did when he was a foal but this does not affect him in any way.

Would suit a knowledgeable home produced or professional yard.

Very lightly shown due to owner illness.

Genuine enquiries only please - only for sale as rider out of class next year.

• Wanted a top class First Ridden!
• Ideally a gelding, aged 6-12 however for the right pony we can make allowances.

Must be safe enough to be done at home and around children.

We would prefer an proven open pony, but again wouldn’t rule out a good novice.

Good budget for the right pony.

Top class 14.2hh New Forest Gelding.

This has been a very difficult decision for his owner to make but Warwick is now available to the best of homes only

He needs little introduction to the show circuit (has qualified RI, HOYS, Olympia with brilliant results at the finals) and we believe he should now be given the opportunity to excel at what he really does enjoy most.

His owner doesn’t jump but Warwick would excel as a fantastic M&M WHP, or at PC/ODE/NSEA, as he has a great pop in him and is jumping tracks up to 90cm at present.

Results from 2019 include:

• HOYS and Silver Medal Champion - Royal Norfolk
• Overall Ridden New Forest Champion - New Forest & Hampshire County Show

Warwick has only contested one show in 2020 so far due to COVID-19 where he qualified for the Olympia Semi Finals.

Serious enquires only please - no joy riders as this is a really hard sale for all involved.

Tony is an incredible pony looking for a new best friend

Tony has a prolific record in the show ring having qualified for HOYS in cuddy in 2015 and 2016 as well as as a ridden in 2017 

In 2019 we did a handful of HOYS qualifiers with him and he was in the top 10 every time out including a 3rd at northleach. 

We bought Tony at fayre Oakes in 2018 as a whp project, he has been slowly and carefully been taught to jump and has huge scope and masses of potential

At his first whp show he won his novice class out of 13 with a beautiful clear 

Tony has also done dressage, show jumping and cross country schooling

2020 was meant to be his year to come out and do workers however due to COVID-19 we haven’t been able to compete him as much as we had planned to

Tony also has an incredible record as an inhand gelding and has masses of presence which many geldings cannot offer and was unbeaten in 2019 in the gelding classes he moves for fun! 

Tony would ideally suit a competent child or small teenager 

He is 100% to shoe, box, catch, clip, wash etc absolutely loves an evening performance, will stand in the lorry all day and is a saint in open spaces

Completely snaffle mouthed and never strong or silly but has plenty of personality 

We would love him to go to a home where he will be able to compete as a worker and have a varied life

Thousands of photos and videos available on request 

No time wasters please as this is a hard sale of a much loved pony and we will be sad to see him go

• Fantastic jumping pony, rarely has a pole, jumps off any stride
• Results speak for themselves (main listed in the results tab)

It is with the heaviest of hearts & many tears that this total gem of a pony is for sale - if only she could grow!

Results speak for themselves (main listed in the results tab). She is a fantastic jumping pony, rarely has a pole, jumps off any stride. We focussed on pony club & eventing where she has been incredibly successful. Very fast against the clock, she has won pony club qualifiers out of over 100 competitors where she is against good 14.2's. The area SJ finals she was one of only 4 that managed 3 rounds without a fault & she is jumping off horse strides. The Olympia mini-major qualifiers are crazy fast & she was 6th & 7th literally a second off the winning time.

We got into BS late so jumped a handful of classes, she has very few points or money on her card. Could take a child right through the ranks. Jumped Graham Heaths & a winter 128 class, both of which I have videos of her great rounds. This year as my daughter is out of 128's she has jumped a few open classes.

She is exceptionally well-schooled, lovely to ride, dressage generally scores 70% plus. Always top 5 eventing. In August 2020 she won the unaffiliated eventing at Tweseldown - its a high standard around the 90BE track & she jumped a double clear within the time for a WIN .... 16 handers were getting time faults! Has done lots of arena eventing too.

She qualified for HOYS as a working hunter pony at only her second attempt. We had never done any WHP classes before. She qualified by winning at the BSPS championships. She was also placed in the Gold Cup class, a qualifier for Burghley.

Most important she is the kindest, sweetest pony. Total pleasure to own & a genuine child's pony. Only Lottie has jumped her since we have owned her. I would trust her with the smallest child, she would come back down the heights & look after them. She has a LHC at 127cm. Admired wherever she goes. Good in traffic.

With company will live in or out. Currently out at night, comes in during the winter. Lovely in the stable. Never mareish.

Substantial price required only to the very best of homes. Homes will be vetted and she deserves a good kind little jockey.

Numerous videos & photos can be seen on Instagram lots_nixon_eventing, or I can send.

• A True First Ridden
• 2nd HOYS 2019
• Only for sale because the jockey is out of the class

We bought Max for our son 9 year old son after he suddenly decided having shown no interest previously, that he wanted ride and start showing. He could barely ride when we got Max last season, and it took a while for everything to click into place before we decided to have a go in the ring in July.

They did a total of 5 shows last season:

• Great Yorkshire : First time out and first time ever in the ring for our son, where they qualified for HOYS in a massive class (See Video)
• New Forest 2nd in the HOYS Qualifier another big class
• BSPS Wales (HOYS Qualifier ) another big class, pulled 2nd and sadly a wrong leg meant they placed.
• Stoneleigh 5th (HOYS Qualifier)
• Horse of Year 2019 2nd - joint ride mark with the winner

Maxi is 100% safe both in the ring and at home. He hacks out in open fields, goes up the gallops, pops a jump with ease. He could easily be home produced. He doesn’t need hours of work before you go in the ring. Doesn’t need plugs or calmers. He is easy to do. Good to trim, catch, and load. As well as First Ridden, he would also do First Pony of Hunter Type and has with previous owners been 2nd at HOYS in The Lead Rein of Hunter Type.

Max has been everything you ever could wish for in a pony to safely take your child in ring and be able to have fun on at home. He is a proper First Ridden. He is also a great all round pony for a child to have fun on.

This is a heart breaking sale; he would definitely not be available if my son wasn’t out of the class.

He will only be sold to a 5* star home so please serious enquiries only.

Open to vetting.
