Very sad sale of our fabulous pony Noodles who has been with us for 3 years but has been sadly outgrown. He is a loveable rogue with a cheeky personality. He is a great lead rein pony and is good off the lead rein with a confident rider. This is an honest post because we really want him to find the absolute perfect home where he is loved him as much as we love him.

During his time with us he has been hacked, done local showing shows, pleasure rides, show jumping competitions and hunter trials and has been placed many times. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds, leant so much and had great fun with him. He loves to be out and about, never stops at a fence, happily goes in front or behind out hacking and is really good in traffic. He will hack alone and in company (does prefer company) and loves a trip to the woods! If he is excited he can pop in the occasional buck but it has never unseated my daughter. He is super easy at shows and when he's with other horses and loves to be kept busy.

Noodles can be lazy in the school as it's not his favourite thing to do and if he is not happy he can sometimes try to give a little nip. He will follow his leader or another horse anywhere but can be lazy off the lead rein without! My daughter is not the most confident or strongest rider and this has made riding him independently more difficult. In his previous home however, he took both of his jockeys off the lead rein, did all PC activities and camps, hunted and did everything you can think of, so he is more than capable of it all with a confident rider.

He has always been barefoot, has great feet and is good to trim, load and clip. He does need to be sedated to have his teeth done. Currently lives out but has lived in at night previously. He has never had any lami or health problems but we do keep a strict eye on his weight for the usual reasons. He does not cost a lot to keep! He is happier living with other horses rather than alone. Loves cuddles and grooms and will happily be dressed up for fancy dress classes etc! Soon due teeth and vaccinations so I would have this done before sale.

Will come with a full wardrobe including a nearly new John Whitaker saddle which was fitted to him last summer (£500, I still have the receipt).

We are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable 5* home for this lovely little chap and will only let him go to the right home as he is very special to us. No dealers.

Only serious enquiries please. I have tonnes of photos and videos to share. Based in Norfolk.

Dream First Pony – 11.2hh Welsh A Schoolmistress

Lead Rein to First Ridden – Safe, Smart & Show Ready

Highland Joanna (JoJo) is a 12-year-old strawberry roan Welsh Section A mare standing at 11.2hh – a true Schoolmistress and every child’s dream first pony.

JoJo has taken children from lead rein to confidently cantering off the lead. She is kind, clever, and completely reliable – always adjusting to suit her rider’s age and experience. She gives little jockeys confidence without ever being boring or sharp.

JoJo's Highlights:

Lead rein & first ridden superstar
Hacks alone or in company - Seen all types of traffic, bikes, dogs, runners – nothing phases her.
Rides out with bigger horses – not phased in the slightest
Forward-going, fun, but never strong or spooky, not a plod – responsive yet safe
Loves to show – always in the ribbons
Previously competed at high level in M&M Lead Rein, including winning at Kent County and placing 1st out of 18 in the 2018 NPS M&M Lead Rein

Would do a lovely dressage test – beautifully balanced and willing

Easy to catch and tack up – even by children under 9

Turns out with mares or geldings

Can be turned away for weeks and comes back exactly the same

Travels well and stands quietly on the trailer alone

Baths, clips, loads, behaves impeccably

Fun rides, local shows – nothing phases her

Great with children on the ground and under saddle – she totally looks after them

Up to date with vaccinations and farrier

Unshod and has excellent feet

We’re looking for a new home for JoJo as our children are now keen to do more jumping, which isn’t something she enjoys. Jumping is simply not her thing, and she would suit a home looking for a safe, fun lead rein or first ridden pony without the pressure to jump.

JoJo is truly a dream pony. She will teach your children to ride and to have the confidence to go on to their next chapter. She’s gentle, safe, and full of personality – the type of pony every child deserves to start on.

A rare opportunity to buy a true child’s Schoolmistress. Worth her weight in gold. Top home is priority. No loans or trials.

Previous owners are happy to provide a reference.

Only available to a 5 Star home where she’ll be loved and appreciated like she is here.

Located in Horsham - 07944 743693

Photos and videos available on request

  • Type Impossible to find he is loveable & laid back, 100% in all traffic
Mothers Dream - Worth His Weight in Gold. One in a million confidence giving lead rein pony, the type that is hard to find, he is 100% trustworthy in all ways.

He is the ultimate most beautiful little unicorn for the tiniest of riders with the kindest of natures making him the perfect confidence giving best friend.

He has steady paces which are perfect for the tiny tots learning their ups and downs and is not bothered by the wobbliest of riders. Pony`s as genuine as this are like gold dust.

We have owned this magical little pony for just over 5 years and he was in a family home for 4 years prior to us.

For us he has been the ultimate safest, kindest, most loveable best friend for both of my children, who have been able to do everything with on their own - catch - lead - tack up - groom etc, he really is a true tiny tots first lead rein pony, the type that a parent can sit and watch them enjoy.
He is a genuine snaffle mouth, he has never needed daisy reins or any gadgets, he will happily ride along in a headcollar which we have mainly done.

He is bombproof out hacking, alone or in company, goes in front or behind, can be led from another horse, excellent in all traffic and trains.
100% to catch, with farrier, to bath and clip - i use a razor on his head which he prefers, he loads and travels well, he really is an absolute saint - a pony sent from heaven.
He doesn`t need riding every day, he can be left for months without being ridden and then brought in, tacked up and ridden out.

He can be led and handled by a complete tiny tot, he will happily stand all day on the yard being pampered.
He is excellent with children around his legs and he never ever pulls faces, he is a complete gentlemen

In his earlier years he did lots of showing and qualified for all of the Championships, did fancy dress, hunting and some Pony Club.

During the 5 years we have owned him he has only been used as a lead rein pony and companion, so this is what he is being sold as. We will not be selling him to anyone that wants to do more than what we have been doing with him as it would be unfair to ask it of him after so many years of not doing it.

He has never had laminitis with us but we have always been sensible during the spring / summer months.

This a a genuine and truly heartbreaking sale but he is hopelessly outgrown and we feel it would be wrong to just leave him out in the field when he still has so much to offer another tiny tot.

We have had Missy for 4 years, when my little girl was 2 to learn how to ride and have fun!

Missy has done just that and more! Missy has been an excellent lead rein pony. My 2yr son also rides her (recently winning) she doesn’t mind someone walking / running by the side of her.

Missy has done pony club games, lead rein jumping, farm rides etc, she will lunge with her jockey on at a pace to suit and knows how to look after her rider. We live on a farm so is used to machinery, animals etc.

Missy will lead with another horse on the lead. Missy loves being groomed (fidgets when bathed so I just don’t let my little girl bath her)

She has been unbelievable for us and we want her to go and be enjoyed just like we have!

Will load on a trailer or lorry

Can live in or out

No loans or lwvtb

Genuine enquiries only my daughter will be extremely sad to see her go.

He’s nice and easy of the leg and listens well to the voice.

Enjoys hacking out and is often hacked out by my 5 year old niece. He loves being pampered and fussed over and stands while the kids fuss over him. He has 3 lovely paces and is happy to pop a a little course of jumps.Could make a great show pony as he has beautiful markings and nice paces. He will happily step up for a confident rider to do some pony club ect and drop back down to look after the tiniest tots.

He’s done common ridings with inexperienced young riders and looked after them very well.

He stands well to be clipped bathed and brushed ect. Is always handled by my 3&5 year old nieces- they do everything with him- leading him to the feild, grooming, tacking up, bathing, loading him and playing dress up and taking him to into there play area with the swings and trampoline (often using these to climb on him and slide of his bum)

Only for sale as the kids already have 3 ponies between them and don’t have the room to keep them all- as much as they would love to!

  • First ridden/ lead rein
  • Brilliant out hacking

We have had tommy for 3 years since my daughter was 6 and he has taught her lots in the time we have had him, My daughter is now 9 and sadly ready for the next stage pony and Tommy is more suited to a first ridden/ lead rein which leads to this heartbreaking sale

Tommy is brilliant out hacking and on the roads, Alone or in company, He has always looked after my daughter, He can be lead off of another horse too

He steps up or down depending on the rider / can be more of a kick along for a smaller child or more forward for a bigger child/ teenager

Will happily pop a jump and has jumped up to about 60cm with an older child whilst with us and pops a small jump for my daughter nicely

He has done a bit of everything with us and been to plenty of shows, doing jumping and showing both on and off the lead rein.

He is really good to lunge / free lunge and long reining

Tommy loads well and travels good

Can be ticklish to be clipped/  he prefers smaller clippers with less vibration so we have been using the liveryman harmony which work well for him / we have never clipped his feathers off or done a full head clip so not sure what he would be like with these

he is good for the Farrier and is barefoot

he is up to date with dentist/ farrier/ physio/ worming

Tommy will only go to an experienced and knowledgeable 5 star home

Tack and rugs can come with him at an extra cost to be negotiated

Endless pictures and videos which can be sent upon request

  • She really is the most fantastic, quiet, confidence giving pony you could wish for your child.

Sadly we have to find our super safe little 9year old "spirit" a new loving home as my son has sadly outgrown her.

She really is the most fantastic, quiet, confidence giving pony you could wish for you're child. We cannot fault her at all as she hasn't a bad bone in her body. She is genuinely a mothers dream. If you're child is ready to come of the lead rein and needs the confidence to take their hands of the saddle and hold the reins, this is the pony for you. She will looks after the smallest or nervous of riders as she goes through her paces sensible and steady.

We cannot praise this little pony enough. She always gives 100% wether it be going for a hack , jumping a small course , logs or a small cross country course.

She has been with us the last 2.5 years where she started of with my son being a complete novice and building up his confidence to now cantering behind at her own calm, steady pace other horses hacking in open fields. Her previous owners used to carriage drive her in the heaviest of traffic and she takes it all in her stride.

Spirit is up to date with her vacs, worming , teeth and she is brilliant with the blacksmith.
She has exceptional manners in and out of the stable. Children can brush her, catch her , bath her and she will stand there loving being pampered.

We are looking for a 5 star home for this much loved genuine little pony as she truly deserves it.
If you are looking for a safe sensible pony to give you're child confidence and fun, then this is the pony for you.
