Looking for confidence giving first ridden 12hh to 12.2 to join our family


Ref #: 402994
  • First ridden to join our family
  • 12hh - 12.2hh
  • Doesn’t matter the age as long as safe
  • First ridden to join our family
  • 12hh - 12.2hh
  • Doesn’t matter the age as long as safe

We are looking for a first ridden to join our family for the long term and join our 3 other geldings. Preferably a gelding but if the perfect mare came along would definitely consider it.

My son who is 6 is just coming off the lead rope and loves riding as well as looking after a pony. He doesn’t need speed yet (thankfully) more laid back but not dead to the leg. The relationship on the ground is so important to him too as he spends his spare time on the ground with the ponies. So a pony that likes to be pampered and is polite.

He will do starter pony camp this year, he has a fantastic teacher who comes to our home.

Ideally no lami or sweet itch

Doesn’t matter the age as long as safe, will give confidence to my son to continue his riding journey and loves to be loved.

Price negotiable depending on right pony and very happy to travel

"Rosie"-Black All Rounder Cob/Welsh cross 12.3hh


Ref #: 403019
  • An eye catching Cob x Welsh cross
  • Rosie takes everything in her stride
  • Ideal first pony
£3,000 OVNO
  • Cob
  • Black
  • Mare
  • 6 years
  • 12.3 hands
  • An eye catching Cob x Welsh cross
  • Rosie takes everything in her stride
  • Ideal first pony

Rosie is an eye catching Cob/Welsh cross, Rosie takes everything in her stride.

Rosie is ideal as a first pony. She is a very manageable size for young children to learn how to handle and ride a pony.

Rosie is beautiful to ride, she schools so nicely with 3 smooth paces. She has a real flicky trot and can really extend. She loves hacking! - definitely

Rosie's favourite activity. She hacks alone or in company, seen machinery, crossed very busy roads (video available).

My daughter canters her through fields and she does not get silly at all. She isn't a squeeze along but also not a kick along, so in between.

She is a great jumper. She has successfully jumped up to 90cm with ease. She has been cross country, unaffiliated show jumping (up to 70cm. ) On the ground Rosie is good to catch, brilliant to load (trots on the box), good for farrier, dentist etc. Sad sale, only sold because my daughter has outgrown her.

Comes with saddle, bridle and 200g and 50g rug, 2 saddle pads.

Fully vaccinated up to February 2027. Is not shoed.

More videos available upon request.


Perfect first pony allrounder, dressage or showing

  • Schoolmaster, will turn his hoof to anything
  • Well mannered, confidence giver
  • Child's best friend
Rusty is a lovely, kind, gentle 1st pony type. Brave, not spooky, loves people, horses, dogs and knows his job. He's previously done dressage and shown successfully qualifying for and attended STARS.

We have done all pc activities, camp, hacking, lessons, farm rides. He'll have a try at anything with no fuss or bother including working equitation and horse ball. A real yard favourite that all the kids love.

Over the past 2 years Rusty has brought my son on from being a very nervous just off lead rein rider, to being an established, neat little rider, cantering in open fields and jumping small xc jumps confidently. Never spooky, nappy or strong and looks after his rider.

Great to do, a really easy pony to have around.

He has mild arthritis in right hock and I will disclose x-rays and vet history to serious enquiries. This has never been a problem and has never prevented us from being able to do anything. Managed with 1/2 danilon a day. He's never going to be a big jumping pony, his forte is being an excellent first pony to get little riders established and have fun. Could also be great for a dressage/ showing home.

Very sad sale of much loved pony.
All tack and rugs included.
No loans.

She presently has a 9hh Shetland on loan but really needs a bigger pony to be more independent.

Needs to be very good with all traffic as we have a farm, safe ridden out in open spaces and good to clip, load and be handled by little people. Would be with us for a long time and we have a 1 year old too

Based in Worcestershire and would travel up to 2 hours away to find our little unicorn.


'Lightning' 12h Pony for Sale

  • Sports Pony
  • Coloured
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 12 hands
  • Perfect Pony Club Pony
  • Confidence Giver
  • 1, 1.5 & 2nd Pony all in one

'Lightning' The MOST Gorgeous Best Friend anyone could wish for. He is the easiest, sweetest boy to handle. We call him our pet dog, as he would follow us around all day for cuddles if he could.

He is beautiful on the flat and very responsive. He behaves at arena hire, cross country, pony club rallies, fun rides and competitions, the same as he does at home. Perfect in open spaces and not strong. Been through water & loves a day out.

Before us he was in Ireland, and loved to go out hunting too.

We ride him in a snaffle, but when a tiny rider pops on him we put him on the second ring on a gag & this gives them plenty of brakes. Nothing more is needed, he’s that perfect. He really wants to please & never does anything naughty.

When at the gallops he’ll fly up the track with the rider trying to win, or stay 1/2 a mile back with a nervous rider just wanting to trot. He really is a dream.

Saying all this, he isn’t a complete first pony, as he loves jumping & becomes much more forward when you pop the jumps up past 50cm. He will happily trot around a course of cross poles though. If the rider can hold their reins, walk & trot, then he’ll teach you everything else nice & calmly.

He’s been to lots of stay away shows this year & loved it. Most recently Spooktacular at Arena UK, jumping double clears every day in the 40&50cm.

We’ve competed him successfully up to 65cm. Arena Hire up to 80cm, individual jumps up to 95cm. Scope for more. In Ireland he competed in 18 classes, 70&80cm and won 17 of them!! Had 1 pole in the other. With an experienced jockey he would be a complete rosette machine! Top jumping pony with the right kid.

Very fast against the clock, incredible turns. Could also be a fantastic games pony with training.

He is ridden successfully by a small 6 year old girl. As his 9 year old rider is the size of a 12-13 year old, so just too big for another season 

He’s never been schooled by adults. Any size kid/ or age can jump on. He’s good to go and super sensible & safe.

He does not kick, rear, buck or anything else of this description. No vices, or issues.

Turns out with mares & geldings.

Handled by kids daily, including my 4 year old, who turns him out & brings him in. The kids often ride him back & forth to the field in a head collar, sat on his rug.

Up to date with farrier, injections, chiropractor, dentist and wormers.


Located near Derby, DE65
Please WhatsApp on 07894 138436 for videos or any questions. Please NO TIME WASTERS or DAY TRIPPERS. We only accept viewings when you are happy all questions you have, have been answered & you think Lightning may be a great fit for your child.

Selehems Lord Cannon

11.2 grey section A gelding- 15 years young.

He has been with us for 4 years and has taught my eldest daughter to come off the lead rein as her home fun pony when our show ponies were professionally produced.
We now run them all ourselves and he is sadly outgrown and on the back burner most of the time which he's far too good for.

He loves to jump- really brave and bold, hack and generally be loved.

He still has plenty of life left in him for someone else to enjoy or I would happily retire him with us but he still really enjoys his work.

He's probably more of a 2nd pony rather than a FYFR but he will step up or down depending on the jockey.

Good home is a priority as it is an extremely hard decision to sell him.

Good to hack, box, trim, bath etc and will live in or out.

Idyllic pony , green passport

Been there done it type of pony, in his early years he done lots of in hand showing and first ridden classes , active member of pony club , mounted games, horseball , rallies, XC , polework clinics ,musical rides, showing, stay away shows .

Great pony for kids to learn to ride . He will take your child from lead rein to first ridden

We bought Clive as a first ridden for my daughter who was more independently coming off the lead rein . He has been the best next step pony for her and he is just the most honest and safe pony who will look after his little rider, Has done lots of hacking around and about , goes past tractors , all farm animals , safe with dogs running around. He will step up for an older rider or down for the little rider . He prefers XC rather than showjumping , but will equally happy go over a little course with a leader , following or an older child .

Never sick or sorry, lives on fresh air, currently living out in a herd. Happy to be stabled or shelter . Loves a bath, and good for farrier , clipping he does need sedation , he has had bad previous experience from being twitched . He is good for farrier and does need a lady vet and someone who doesn’t come in and try and stick a needle in him without first giving him some fuss and treats . (Has only ever needed vaccs and teeth doing!) he loads and travels brilliantly. Has stayed out at shows , you can take him to different environments and he is just the same . He is barefoot and up to date with vaccs, worming, teeth and comes with tack (beautiful new saddle fitted ) and rugs.

He is comfortable will all farm machinery and a variety of animals! Snaffle mouthed and never strong or silly , so happy out and about hacking too and loves looking after his little riders out in open spaces . Never changes if left for a week or two and then be ridden . He can be protective of his hay and happy when left alone to eat . He will pull a face to tell you to leave him alone to eat . Never a problem for us. Great to catch .

Very calm in the stable and field, not worried about being on his own. He in his element when he attends pony club with his fellow pony friends . Active member of pony club so always out and about . He has the best character . I can honestly say he has been the best confidence giver ever and this is why we have now come to the point that my daughter would like to take the next step pony , no other reason than my daughter wants to progress from a steady boy who has given her the best confidence from that transition from lead rein . I can’t thank this pony enough for where he has got my daughter too .

Happy to answer any questions you may have , only the best home for this boy

If you’re looking for a safe confidence giving starter pony he is the best .

Please only enquire if you are actively looking for a pony.

4yo Registered Shetland Pony Mare with exceptional breeding - 39" tall - Lattie

  • 4 years
  • 9 hands
  • Professionally started
  • Lots of potential for the right jockey
  • Bought from renowned breeder, Clare Connor

4yo Registered Shetland pony mare with exceptional breeding lines - 39inches tall.

Lattie has been professionally started - long reins, lunges and is happy with a little jockey on board wandering around the yard.

Good with dogs, kids, loads, travels & well behaved at arena hires (indoor and outdoor). She has bags of potential and will make top class M&M/LR with someone who is willing to further her education.

We purchased her from Clare Connor in December 2025 for our daughter who’s had a huge growth spurt and is even looking big on her 12.2 pony so we feel it is best to find Lattie a knowledgable home with a little jockey to build a partnership from the beginning.
