The most heartbreaking sale!!!!!!!!!!!!Tinkerbel!!!! The unicorn FYFR Dream!!!!!!!

11.1hh 9 years old welsh A mare. We have owned Tinkerbel nearly 5 years now in which she has done everything with my 2 girls. We got her as only just backed and she has been a dream since day one. She is fantastic to hack alone or in company she will take the tiniest of riders and look after them. She has done all pc activities, games, camps, show jumping, fun rides, hunting. You can lead her from another horse will go first or last.

She is 100% safe on the ground and a toddler could lead her . She is fantastic to catch, clip, farrier. She is up to date with everything. I am going to be incredibly fussy where she goes. I would like her to go to a family with a tiny tot child and maybe some younger siblings coming through so she can stay in the same home for as long as possible…I will not sell her to a older bigger child where she will be outgrown quickly.

I am happy to answer any questions if you call me!!!! She will be sold with all her tack and rugs, She is ridden in a Zoe Snape pad. Can give references from our pony club dc all vet history is available ( never had a days lameness) open to any vetting and x rays if wanted.

Johnny is a lovely little first ridden pony who has been with us for only 16 month but taught my daughter so much and helped her become a confident little rider. He lives out with geldings and mares. He is always easy to catch and can be groomed, tacked up, rugged or loaded by my children. Very sad sale but my daughter has grown too tall now (and is nearly 9) and wants to jump bigger and faster. He’s happy on the lead rein and would look after tiny tots until they were ready to be unassisted.

He loves hacking in the countryside and is fine with traffic and farm vehicles or animals. He is great out hunting and did this in his previous home as well. He has been to lots of pony club rallies and events, competed at Bicton mini champs 2025 (2 clear rounds in 40 assisted class) and qualified for NSEA Grassroots champs at Hickstead 2026. He is slow and steady so doesn’t win any speed contests but he’ll happily pop around a course of cross poles and 40cm jumps keeping his rider safe.

We would love Johnny to go to a knowledgeable home with small children to ride him as he is such a kind and genuine sort. He is very easy in general but his one fear is the sound of the clippers so I have had him sedated for this. Please WhatsApp for more info.

For sale on behalf of owner - Bella - 12.1hh 4yo Welsh A Part Bred Mare.

This pony has lots of talent to excel as a dressage diva or super jumping pony. She’s not a spooky type and seems to be happy to jump anything. I lead her over all sorts of fillers and obstacles.

She has done lots of the firsts with us and is now ready to be someone’s number one to progress.

She has done a PC lesson, Mini SJ, Arena Hire and been ridden on lead rein and by 9 and 10 year olds and a professional rider.

She’s has been long reined and lunged.

She has had teeth, vaccs, and farrier trim all done. Welsh passport. Transported her in 3.5 when we collected.

She is of course still very green and learning as she is only 4 but I think she has got an exciting future ahead of her.

Currently been out to grass to develop and mature for 2.5 months so sold from the field as my daughter will continue on experienced pony.

Taunton based just off M5.

Milo (Pigbush Nutcracker) is a well established 13.2hh New Forest gelding.

Before coming to us, he was in a Pony Club home where he attended rallies and went hunting.

He has been part of a busy riding school since 2017, doing everything from complete beginners through to more advanced riders, as well as working with the RDA. He has been handled and ridden by a wide variety of ages and abilities.

Milo is good to handle in all ways and is easy to clip, shoe, bath and manage, both on the yard and at shows. He is great in open spaces and enjoys getting out and about.

He has been out competing, including taking part in British Horse Society competitions at Pickering Grange over the past two years. He has also competed in BUCS competitions in both dressage and showjumping. He is nicely schooled on the flat and established in his work.

Milo hacks regularly and is great on the road. He is happy to go alone or in company and is a regular on group hacks, where he is always very well behaved.

He is used to children handling him in the stable, including nervous riders as well as more excitable and inexperienced ones, and takes it all in his stride.

Recently, Milo has not been going forward in the riding school environment as he once did. However, when a more established rider gets on, he quickly returns to his usual self. We therefore feel he would be much happier in a more one to one home.

He is currently barefoot, up to date with teeth and regularly seen by the chiropractor. He has passed annual vettings with no issues.

Milo would suit a knowledgeable and kind home looking for a fun, capable pony with plenty to offer

  • 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

  • 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’s 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’s not an issue.

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

All leads will be handled with discretion.

Tia Maria is wonderful 19 year old grey mare, a true all rounder with a heart of gold and lots to give. She stands at 12.2hh (approx) and has been the perfect partner for a young rider who has sadly now outgrown her.

• Doesn’t rear or bite
• Has never had laminitis
• Loves a cuddle

Tia is a pony who gives her all, whether it’s a long hack or a fun jumping session with a more confident rider. She’s reliable and has plenty of experience under her belt. Tia is easy to keep and handle, barefoot with feet in good condition.

This is a very sad sale of a much loved pony. She has taught her current rider so much over the last 5 years, but they have simply outgrown her. We are looking for a kind home where Tia can continue to shine and be cherished.

Tack/rugs, etc negotiable.

Freddie is sadly for sale my kids have out grown him we never wanted to part with him but this pony loves to work and he bored not doing anything

He's small but mighty is what I call him as he thinks he's 18hh he's got so much character

Freddie does suffer with sweet itch but with his rug he's been ok

Freddie loves jumping it’s his favourite thing to do I also think he would be amazing at cross country and pony days.

With the right rider this pony is amazing, he's very quick against the clock when asked to go but also very good and steady for the lead rein riders

I’ve got loads of videos of him

Freddie is up to date with farrier , dentist, physio , worming and vacations

If you would like to know any more about him please ask,  this is a very hard decision but it would be cruel keeping him as a field ornament when he loves to be loved and worked

Extremely sad sale of this gorgeous little pony.
Star has been with us the last 6 years and has now been sadly outgrown. Although we would love to keep him forever he is too good to be wasted as a field ornament. He needs a new best friend to love and have lots of fun with.

Star is a very good boy at all times. He is always happy and always willing. He is great on and off the lead rein.

He has done pc mounted games, showjumping, dressage, and riding club showing on and off the lead rein. Good to hack and great in open spaces. Not nappy at all, very easy going and happy in his own company.

He would be suitable for all pc riding club activities.

Off the lead star would be more suited for a confident little rider that is fairly balanced and able to give clear aids as he is forward going and responsive. A gutsy little rider that doesn’t mind a fast pace would have so much fun and get the best out of him!

Having said that he does come down to a level for those learning off the lead rein in walk and trot it’s just his canter that’s a quick and responsive pace.

Star has no vices or quirks, and has never bucked, reared, or bolted.

I’ve been putting off selling him because we love him dearly and has never been a days trouble, he is such an easy pony to keep. Can live in or out, never sick or sorry.

This boy is so kind and gentle, he has perfect ground manners and is an angel around all children even the smallest of tiny tots can lead, groom, bath, load, dress up and do anything with him.

Everyone that’s meets this boy immediately falls in love!
We will all be extremely sad to see him go.

Lots of videos available up on request.


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

  • Shetland
  • Blue and white
  • Mare
  • 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 - 39 inches tall.

**PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE** (as need the stable)

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

Great with dogs, kids, loads, travels well, exceptionally 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 has 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.
