Blue Cross Nutmeg


Ref #: 401235
  • Non-ridden companion pony
  • Able to stay alone for short periods
  • Lives out 24/7 or can be part stabled
£180
  • Welsh Part Bred
  • Black
  • Mare
  • 3 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Non-ridden companion pony
  • Able to stay alone for short periods
  • Lives out 24/7 or can be part stabled
- Based at a foster yard in Bedfordshire -

Nutmeg is a rising 4-year-old native mare looking for a kind, understanding home as a non-ridden companion. She hasn’t had the best start in life, which means she can take a little longer to settle into new environments, but once she feels safe, her sweet and willing nature really shines through.

Nutmeg thrives with calm, consistent 1-1 handling from a confident adult who can give her time to process new experiences. She is making steady progress with ongoing training in all areas and is very rewarding to work with as her trust grows.

She is an excellent companion to other young ponies and fits happily into both part-stabled routines and 24/7 turnout. Once settled, we feel that Nutmeg would be okay with staying alone for short periods, providing this is built up gradually.

Nutmeg is a lovely little mare with a gentle heart who just needs patience, reassurance, and the right person to help her continue blossoming.

- Based at our Burford Centre -

Storme is a truly lovely ISH x ID mare, now seeking a non-ridden companion home after retiring from her ridden career. She has a wonderfully affectionate nature and quickly becomes a favourite wherever she goes. Storme enjoys human company, loves a good fuss, and stands beautifully for grooming—she’s the kind of mare who really appreciates attention and gives it back in her own quiet, sweet way.

She currently lives out 24/7 in a mare herd, where she settles well and keeps harmony within the group. She’s equally content part-stabled, making her easy to accommodate on different yards. Storme is good to catch, lead, groom and to have her feet picked out with a confident handler. Once she trusts her new surroundings, she will happily share a hay pile with her field mates.

Storme would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a calm, kind and genuinely lovable equine companion.

He is calm when left on his own in the stable and turns out happily by himself if needed. He is super to handle on the ground. He long reins, lunges and has been led - ride & lead. He enjoys basic natural horsemanship exercises.

Excellent with the farrier, vet and dentist. He loads readily. Good with dogs and children.

She has been with us since February 25 when I went to purchase a companion pony and came back with two! My plan was to back her when ready if I had time but I realise this isn't going to happen as I work full time and have three other horses at home. She is a nice horse, inquisitive, likes a cuddle.

She lives out all year round, currently unclipped (and quite muddy) has been out for walks on a lead rein, unphased by traffic, loads fine, likes being groomed, stands for the farrier, ok with the dentist.

She has been a perfectly good field companion but in reality I really only need one of these, and I think she would enjoy doing more if someone could offer this. No medical problems, wormed.
