12.2hh 7-Year-Old Registered Dartmoor Gelding by Springwater

A very reluctant sale of our much-loved Dartmoor gelding, who has been with us for the last 2½ years. He has been produced slowly, sympathetically and correctly, and we feel he is now ready for someone to continue his education and fulfil his huge potential.

He has mainly hacked with us, is ridden weekly by a lightweight professional trainer (approximately 6 stone), and has also been happily ridden by our 9-year-old daughter. Last summer he was regularly schooled in an arena, ridden by a child and has attended a handful of local shows. At his most recent show, the judge described him as “spectacular”, commenting that he simply needed a little more mileage and experience.

He has exceptional Springwater breeding, and has the most beautiful pony head, kind eye and outstanding movement. We genuinely believe he has all the attributes to make a superb showing pony in the right hands.

He is a pleasure to own. Easy to groom, load and handle, he is polite and respectful on the ground with no bargy or pushy behaviour and would also make a fabulous in-hand show pony. He lives happily in a mixed herd, sits comfortably in the middle of the pecking order and has a lovely, kind temperament.

He has never shown any signs of laminitis, has never been footy or lame, and has always been carefully managed. He is up to date with podiatry and annual dentistry and vaccinations, and we have always prioritised his health and wellbeing.

He is still green in his schooling simply because he has been allowed to mature at his own pace rather than being rushed. He is a soft, sensitive boy rather than a cheeky or bolshy pony, and he deserves a rider who can continue to build his confidence and education.

While he has been ridden by our daughter, we would not describe him as a first ridden or one for a tiny child to canter off on independently. We feel he would be best suited to a confident child aged around 10+, a teenager or a small adult who will enjoy producing a quality native pony.

The only reason for this sale is that our daughter has suddenly had a growth spurt and, with him being her third pony, we simply aren’t doing him justice. We would much rather see him in a home where he can continue progressing and be someone’s special pony.

• True mountain pony type with the prettiest head, balanced conformation and clean limbs
• Successfully competed in ridden showing, WHP, HT's, SJ and even handy pony
• She has the foundations in place to be the perfect child’s pony

True mountain pony type with the prettiest head, balanced conformation, clean limbs and active, free movement across all three paces. She is willing, quick to learn, forward-thinking and loves a job.

Flossy is a lovely little character, who has been so much fun to own. 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 has behaved beautifully 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, trotting round poles and cross poles, obstacle courses and hacking through our fields and down the lane. She’s put up with wobbly moments while perfecting up-downs and first canter strides on the lunge, 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 (10) 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 the odd bigger fence at home. Not in the slightest spooky, she has jumped water trays, fillers, coloured poles, xc fences, ditches, steps and splashes happily through water. She has untapped potential in WHP classes for a competitive little jockey (Tiny tots, Cradle Stakes, M&M etc) with her beautiful natural jump.

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 is a neat little prospect for STARS, LIHS and the Burghley WSP classes.

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.

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

Domino - 13 Hand DHP Gelding, 6 years old.

Domino was in the same home from 6 months old, he was sold to me from a friend in 2025 where my plans were to break him and my daughter would do the plaited workers on him.

Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances I no longer have the time and being home produced cannot have any outside help, so he is reluctantly for sale.

He is being sold as an ongoing project as he’s not been ridden since March due to work commitments so will need re starting / refreshing.

He’s a very friendly boy but can be stubborn and bolshy therfor will need an experienced individual.

Last year my 13 year old was hacking him out, schooling & jumping him.

He lunges & long reins.

Colin is a 12 year old Connemara pony and has been at home with us on our family farm for 2 years, my daughter has done everything with him from day one – tacking him up, putting him out in the field and bringing him in, picking out his hooves, loading and unloading him etc.

Can be hacked alone or in company. Great with all traffic, regularly hacks over a busy dual carriageway bridge.

Has done numerous pony club rallies and pony club camp.

Has won several unaffiliated prelim dressage tests, getting marks in the 70%’s.

Done some showing in M&M classes, he’s a very attractive boy and has great confirmation. Got a ticket to London International semi-final 2026. 3rd in his RIHS qualifier.

Great on fun / beach rides and in open fields, never strong or silly. Think he would make a great hunting pony.

He enjoys lots of love and attention.

He’s a steady, safe pony to give someone confidence. More whoa than go, but has been more forward going with good schooling.

Never bombed off or reared, bucked etc.

He’s done lots of showjumping PC rallies and happily jumped on fun-rides and in our fields at home or XC schooling, but he doesn't seem to enjoy SJ competitions.

Easy to catch, load and travel.

Up-to-date with teeth, vaccinations etc.

Bean is an exceptional, pure Connemara gelding who has been brought on slowly, correctly, and carefully by me since he was a newly-backed 4-year-old. Bought as a project, he completely stole my heart, and I couldn't bear to part with him. For the last couple of years, Bean has been at working livery at the Berkshire College of Agriculture (BCA) Equine College. A firm favourite with staff and students alike, he has taken part in a huge variety of activities, giving confidence to riders of all abilities.

"He’s worth his weight in gold – we’d keep him forever if we could " - Fran, Manager, BCA Equine College

A Proven, Versatile All-Rounder

Bean has tried his hoof at everything, taking every challenge thrown at him in his stride:

• Hacking: Happy alone and in company, great in open spaces, not spooky, good with traffic and farm vehicles.

• Activities: Show jumping, flatwork, cross-country, clinics, sponsored/beach rides, and stay-away trips.

• Competitions: he behaves impeccably at shows and even has a couple of wins under his belt.

"‘Beanbag’ is our absolute favourite he has the sweetest nature and is so easy. Ponies like him are so hard to find—we’ll miss him so much." Georgia, Equine Technician, BCA

Easy & Low Maintenance in Every Way

• Turnout: Happily lives in or out in single or mixed herds. Easy to catch and comes to call.

• Ground Manners: Gentleman to handle, loads like a dream, great to clip, needs no sedation for the dentist, and doesn't even notice his vaccinations!

• Health: No health issues, never a lame day and strong barefoot feet. A full vet history is available.

"It’s rare to come across a horse with such exceptional feet and conformation. He is the ultimate blueprint of what to look for in a sound horse." Mark Johnson, Renowned Barefoot Farrier & Hoof-Care Expert

The Perfect Match

This is an incredibly sad and genuine sale due to a recent move to London. I would love to see him go to a small adult wanting a genuine, super-safe all-rounder to enjoy and have fun with, or he would make an awesome Pony Club pony. He has so much to offer and deserves to be the centre of someone’s world again. The right home is of the utmost importance and will be vetted.

Large 14.3 or small 15hh and still growing Connie x Baps, 5 this year.

this is a genuine reluctant sale due to health issues, no more time wasters will be tolerated , what app for video only, then i expect genuinely interested people to call me.

Imported from Ireland last July (Irish sport horse passport) full recorded breeding.

Was broken and riding, x country schooling and jumping, hacking round farm alone or with company whilst in Ireland,

Hacked round farm then turned away for winter as was still growing. once in UK , no video's were taken as i did not expect to put him up for sale.

I was intending to bring him back into work this spring, after I got my older pony re started and out competing, at which point I was going to get this lad back into work, but a recent heart attack put both ponies back on the side lines, both ponies are now for sale as sadly my health isn't what it used to be and I have to accept age and health may hinder what I want to do.

he Has been lunged with full tack on and been sat on with no issues, a healthy, fit and active younger person( not i !) should have no problem dedicating the time and effort to get him back into full work

He is sound no lumps , or bumps, blemishes or vices, moves straight, good to do , handle, lead, box, farrier etc, lovely lad to work with listens to your voice and tone, he is a kind and willing boy.

Came with full clean 5 stage vetting open to any vetting

Teeth up to date, feet trimmed to date, has previously been shod., but has good hard feet.

Vacc's up to date

Last worm count very low

Not for loan or trial,

I do not consider a young inexperienced horse that needs bringing back into work to be suitable for a novice, I brought him to be my final forever horse, never to be sold on, but one cannot foresee future health issues until they suddenly prove to be a problem.

I think a lot of this lad.

• Ultimate Pony Club Prospect and Kids Pony

A super sweet 4-year-old 143cm Class 1 Connemara mare with the loveliest temperament. N/N for HWSD.

Ginny is a genuine, kind mare with three quality paces and a fantastic attitude to her work. She is working consistently on the flat, establishing a lovely rhythm, and is proving to be a very willing, sensible young pony who enjoys learning.

She is quiet enough to be produced by almost anyone and has all the attributes to excel as a ridden Connemara in the M&M show ring. Equally, she has the temperament and versatility to make a fantastic Pony Club pony or all-rounder.

She has recently been to her first arena hire, where she jumped confidently round a full course, jumping all fillers first time including water trays.

She hacks exceptionally well, both alone and in company, good in traffic.

Ginny has a genuinely sweet nature and always tries her best to please. She is an absolute delight to do everything with. She is being produced slowly and correctly, allowing her to develop without being rushed. Due to her age and stage of education, she would not suit a complete novice, but she would be an ideal prospect for a young rider or small adult looking to produce a quality pony and is safe and easy enough for a child to bring on.

She is easy to handle, and has a kind, uncomplicated nature. She is not at all mareish.

Good to load & travel, catch, shoe and bath. Up to date with vaccinations.

No vices, quirks or blemishes.

A lovely young mare with a bright future ahead of her.

Slim is a gorgeous 5-year-old full Connemara gelding who has been professionally produced and has given us great fun over the past 2 years.

Broken as a 3-year-old before being given time to mature, he has since hunted, attended hunt canters, competed regularly at training shows, gymkhanas and performance classes, gaining valuable experience in a wide variety of environments.

Due to work commitments he only attended 2 the RDS Connemara Performance qualifiers, missing out by 6 marks & 3 marks showing plenty of ability and potential for the future with clear rounds both days.

He has been a pleasure to work with throughout. He is straightforward, genuine and enjoys having a job to do. More recently he has been enjoyed by an 11yo girl for arena hires, hacking and fun outings, proving to be a kind and willing partner.

He is now ready to find someone of his own to continue his education and enjoy everything this versatile pony has to offer. Slim is a quality all-rounder, hunting pony, working hunter or performance prospect, he has all the foundations in place to excel.

Wonderful 4yo Rebel, an absolutely beautiful pony on the outside with a lovely kind temperament to match! Old head on young shoulders.

Rebel is 150cm on the stick, plenty of bone and substance, and a really qualiy model to go in the show ring.

Rebel is a registered Connemara on a green book, all breeding recorded. He is n/n hoofwall.

Lovely Rebel is a wonderful pony to have around! He is a gentle natured chap, he is never sharp to handle or flighty. He loves to be groomed and bathed and is very chilled!

He is good to hack alone or in company, round the roads and in the field. He is good in all the traffic we have seen (bikes, farm machinery) he has never napped and isn’t worried about leaving other horses.

Rebs is working well in the school, he has beautiful paces and is straight moving and correct. He flicks his toes in the trot and has a rhythmical canter. He is working well in a soft outline but he is obviously a little green as he is a young horse still.

He has a lovely jump, he is careful in front and tidy behind! He is bold over all fillers, and he has never stopped at any question that has been asked of him! He has care for a pole and is straight to the fences wanting to take you there.

Rebel has been xc schooling on several occasions and he is super brave over ditches, steps, water and skinnies. He is such a point and shoot pony and not spooky at anything atall!

Rebel is good to load and travel and will stand on the lorry at a show when his friend is taken away. He is a very easy pony to have around. He is good to live in or out and alone or with others. He is totally vice and blemish free and open to any vet.

Someone will be very very lucky to own him.

• Actively looking for the best Pony Club ponies
• Some fabulous knowledgeable homes waiting
• No fees for sellers

I have motivated clients looking for genuine, kind, quality and proven ponies to take part in all Pony Club activities.

The ponies I would love to hear about are those not needing to be advertised to secure a new home. There is no harm in finding out whether I know of a better home and match. Perhaps you worry about your child finding it upsetting seeing their old pony regularly at rallies etc - then selling out of area could be a better solution.

These are motivated buyers receiving guidance as to what will likely suit their child - not the timewasters regularly reported. In most cases homes are also knowledgeable: simply lacking in time to conduct a search themselves. Most will also wait for the right pony so if you are not ready to sell yet - that is not an issue.

There are some decent budgets available relative to age and medical conditions etc.

All leads will be handled with discretion. Please feel free to give me a call, drop me a WhatsApp or check out my Instagram page @theponysearchagent
