Heartbreaking sale of our much-loved Twinkle, only available as sadly outgrown. ❤️

We have owned Twinkle since he was five years old and have done everything with him during that time, so we genuinely know this little pony inside out. He has been a huge part of our family for the last three years and has given our daughter the most wonderful start to her riding life.

When Twinkle came to us, Saskia was just seven years old and riding him on the lead rein. Over the last three years they have genuinely learnt and grown together. He has taken her from those early lead-rein days to riding independently, going out competing and making some amazing memories along the way. Watching the two of them progress together has been incredibly special.

Twinkle is now 8 years old and is a genuine safe, sensible and fun child’s allrounder. He will hack, school, do dressage, jump, show and compete. He’s just as happy having a quiet day at home as he is getting on the lorry and heading off for a competition.

He isn’t just a pony who could go out and do these things — he has been there and done it. He has competed successfully across different disciplines, been Reserve Champion in lead rein, qualified for STARS and Trailblazers, as well as qualifying through dressage competitions.

Most importantly, underneath all of that he is still the safe, sensible and confidence-giving child’s pony who has looked after our daughter while allowing her to learn, progress and have fun. He has plenty to offer another little jockey who wants to build their confidence but also wants a pony they can get out and compete on.

He happily hacks, is good in traffic and open spaces, and is straightforward to have around. He is easy to catch, groom and handle and has always been very much part of our family. He’s the sort of pony children can enjoy both on the ground and in the saddle.

Having owned him since he was five, we have years’ worth of photos and videos of him doing everything mentioned above and are more than happy to show his journey with us.

We would genuinely keep Twinkle forever if we could, but our children have sadly outgrown him and he has far too much to give to spend his days standing in a field. He deserves another little jockey of his own to go out, have fun, progress and make the same sort of memories we have been lucky enough to make with him.

Saskia would absolutely love to stay in touch and watch him continue his journey with his next little rider. ❤️

Twinkle really is worth his weight in gold as a child’s allrounder. He would equally suit a little jockey wanting a safe, sensible pony to have fun with, hack and enjoy, or someone wanting to start getting out and about and progress into dressage, jumping and competitions. He’s already been there and done it, so there is plenty for his next little rider to enjoy without them having to produce a pony from scratch.

A knowledgeable, loving home is an absolute priority over a quick sale.

Full wardrobe, including his fitted saddle and tack, is available by separate negotiation.

Twinkle is up to date with vaccinations and teeth and has been regularly maintained with physio throughout the time we’ve owned him. He is good for the farrier, easy to catch and handle, and travels well. No known health issues. Open to vetting. Full history known as we have owned him since five.

In the three years we have owned Twinkle, he has always been a safe, sensible and genuine pony for us. He has taken our daughter from lead rein to riding independently and competing, and we have extensive photos and videos documenting their journey together. As with any pony, we cannot guarantee how he will behave in every situation or with every rider, so we encourage prospective buyers to come and try him properly and make sure he is the right match for their child.

**MOTHER’S DREAM — AS RARE AS HEN’S TEETH\!** 🐴

💗 **THE ULTIMATE CHILD’S BEST FRIEND** 💗

**Cherish your child? Then Matilda is for you!

⭐ 13hh 9 year old mare** ⭐

Matilda really is the ultimate child’s first pony.

She is a beautiful little mare who has been very well looked after and certainly hasn’t been hammered. She’s not a flashy competition pony, but what she lacks in flash, she more than makes up for with a temperament to die for, both on the ground and ridden.

Matilda is such a kind, gentle soul with so much love to give and genuinely is a child’s best friend. There isn’t a nasty bone in her body.

Children can literally do everything with her even clip her out on their own! She absolutely loves a pamper and is easy to catch, load, tack up, pick her feet out, groom and handle. All of this can happily be done by a child — no parents required!

She has done a bit of everything, from showing and hacking to pub rides, and will happily plod around bareback with the kids. She is safe and sensible out hacking, including in open spaces and alongside bigger horses.

Matilda has good brakes, doesn’t get strong and isn’t a forward going pony, making her ideal for a smaller or less confident child.

She has looked after my girls for the last four years, but sadly they have now outgrown her, so the heartbreaking time has come to find her another little person to love.

✅ 100% to box/load

✅ Good for the farrier/shoeing

✅ Good in traffic

✅ Good for the dentist

✅ Child friendly to handle

✅ Safe and sensible

✅ Comes with tack and a few rugs.

📍 **Based in West Yorkshire**

Matilda deserves the very best home where she can become another child’s best friend and be loved as much as she is here.

**Serious enquiries only please — finding the right home is far more important than finding the quickest one.

Joey – 11hh 4-Year-Old New Forest Pony

Joey is a beautiful 11hh, 4-year-old New Forest pony with a kind, willing temperament. He would make an excellent first pony for a child looking for a sensible, fun partner.

Has had 5 year old inexperienced beginner on board as well as autistic children

He learns quickly and always tries to please. Joey hacks confidently alone, in company, and on the lead rein, and has been out through open fields, forests, and streams without fuss. He is happy to be bathed and is easy to handle in every way.

Joey enjoys jumping and is happy to jump a full course, as well as cross-country fences, ditches, steps, and other natural obstacles. He also works well in the arena and, with his excellent conformation, lovely movement, and long, healthy mane, would make a lovely showing prospect.

He has had plenty of desensitising work and is unfazed by umbrellas, bouncy balls, hula hoops, pool noodles, ribbons, and similar exercises, always remaining calm and willing.

Joey is a pleasure on the yard. He is happy to stand in the stable, can be turned out alone or in company, ties up well, and is good to catch, groom, tack up, and handle. He is also good for the farrier and vet.

He loads and travels well in a lorry and stays calm in new places, making him easy to take out and about.

Joey is gelded, passported, fully vaccinated, and up to date with dentistry and worming. He has no known vices and is ready for a loving new home.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved pony, and only the very best home will be considered.

Maenaddwyn Kilo-Môn

Kilo was bought out of the field last summer and backed and ridden away this March. His temperament is outstanding and he went to his first show on the lead in April at NPS Spring Festival where he was 2nd and qualified for the Summer champs. He has attended a couple of in hand shows and a total of 5 ridden shows being mostly 1st or second on the lead rein including novice mini champion at NPS area 11. He also completed his first first ridden classes at NPS Summer champs and was very well placed being ridden by an 8 year old who has only ridden him at shows.

Kilo has had an all round education and hacks alone, including cantering on the local downs, clear round jumping and is ridden mainly off the lead rein. He is so easy to do, clip, bath etc with no history of lameness/lami/sweet itch. He loves children and is very sweet and quiet to handle.

At shows kilo has had a little trot on the lunge, a practice with his jockey (who have only been borrowed) and gone straight into the ring. He doesn't need working in and he is generally very laid back.

Kilo has a super jump and has proven brave so he has good potential for WHP. He is still green but he is very willing and with some time spent in a new partnership over winter and in the future he will be equally as good a FR as LR and excel in so many things.

Kilo is looking for an ambitious family home or he is equally good enough for a producers yard. I really think a lot of him and a top home who will love him as much as I do is a priority.

Plenty of videos available but please call in the first instance.

We are on the hunt for that pony. 🦄

You know the one.

The mothers dream pony. The schoolmaster. The “why on earth are they selling this?!” type. The one you’ve considered having more children for…

Looking for:

🐴 12.2–13hh, gelding preferred (but a non-mareish mare very welcome!)

🐴 Kind, forgiving, mannerly & genuinely unflappable

🐴 100% in open spaces — we live on a farm, so no hedges to cling to!

🐴 Hacks alone & in company

🐴 Happy taking a small 9yo from 50cm towards 70cm without drama

🐴 Pony Club, school teams, hacking & generally being a child’s best friend

Our rider has a beautiful seat and hands and currently jumps 50cm out and 60cm+ at home on a saintly type.

What they absolutely don’t need: mind games, drama or “character building” via unexpected flying lessons. 😂

We’re looking for confidence, not chaos — the sort that encounters excitement and thinks, “Absolutely not. I’m a professional.”

The home is experienced, knowledgeable and slightly obsessive, on a farm with turnout, routine and a varied life. This pony will want for nothing.

We know these unicorns are rarely advertised… but if you have a special little legend looking to step down, be adored and make a child’s world, please get in touch. Emotional sellers very much welcome. ❤️

💰 Low 5 figures available for the right pony

📍 Ideally within 2 hours of Dorset

Please share — you never know where the unicorn is hiding. 🦄

This pony is an absolute mothers dream has been an absolute pleasure to own for the last 2 years and brake in. Perfect to do in every way good to travel good with the farrier and is super well handled by children.

Must go to a home where he will be loved and have plenty of attention as he’s happiest playing with the children and following you round the field like an overgrown dog.

Can be ridden on the lead rein and off nothing appears to phase him can also be lead from another horse.

This pony was bought to brake in for a little boy who now requires payment to ride as he has lost interest thus sadly surplus to requirement.

Scooby Doo – The Ultimate First Pony

Scooby Doo is the quietest, kindest and most sensible little pony you could ever wish to meet. He is exceptionally safe, with impeccable manners both under saddle and on the ground, making him the perfect first pony both on and off the lead rein.

He will happily walk, trot and canter beautifully on the lead rein for children taking their very first steps into riding. Off the lead rein, he is equally happy carrying riders who are holding the saddle handle while building confidence, as well as those riding independently. He truly has a young body with an old head on his shoulders. He is never spooky, sharp, strong or silly and always takes wonderful care of his riders.

Over the past 15 months, Scooby Doo has worked in a professional riding school where he has safely taught hundreds of children, from tiny tots aged just two years old through to more established young riders. He has patiently introduced countless children to walk, trot, canter and their very first jumps. He has three beautifully balanced, steady paces and responds exceptionally well to the voice, allowing beginners who are still holding the saddle handle to be guided confidently without needing rein contact.

Scooby has never bolted, reared, bitten or shown any nasty traits. He has the sweetest, kindest nature any parent could wish for. He IS NOT cheeky, mischievous or naughty like some little ponies can be. He greets everyone with his ears pricked forward, comes to call from the field and absolutely adores kisses, cuddles and attention. He truly is every child’s dream pony, with the most adorable little face that you simply can’t help but fall in love with.

He waits patiently in group lesson waiting for his turn, is equally well behaved in private lessons, and has taken part in our in-house competitions including Lead Rein classes, Handy Pony, Fancy Dress and Pony Club rallies.

He has a lovely snaffle mouth and requires no gadgets.

Scooby is affectionately known as our “large puppy dog” because of his incredibly affectionate, gentle and loyal personality. He adores people and will happily follow you around the yard without a headcollar or lead rope. He stands quietly to be groomed, bathed and fussed over, and genuinely loves attention.

His manners are second to none, allowing even the youngest children to confidently catch him from the field, lead him, groom him, pick out his feet, tack him up and care for him safely.

He is a firm favourite during our stable management courses and therapy sessions, where his calm, trustworthy nature allows children to build confidence while working independently.

Scooby is exceptional out hacking. He is completely unfazed by heavy, fast-moving traffic and has seen everything from articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors and trailers to motorbikes, bicycles, prams / trolleys and dogs, absolutely nothing fazes him.

He hacks confidently both alone and in company, happily leading or following. He is never strong, nappy or silly and is perfectly content to stay at the back of the ride without trying to overtake, maintaining whatever pace is asked of him. In open spaces he remains calm, relaxed and sensible. If the other horses canter away, Scooby is more than happy to stay behind with his rider, and he will patiently wait if the others return home ahead of him.

Scooby enjoys jumping and will happily pop a small course of coloured or rustic fences, both on and off the lead rein, always giving his rider confidence.

He is excellent to clip, catch, load, travel, shoe and stands perfectly for the dentist, farrier and vet. He loads first time, every time, travels impeccably and is an absolute pleasure to take out and about.

Scooby has recently passed our annual Riding School Licence inspection, carried out by a veterinary surgeon, which is comparable to a Stage 2 vetting.

During the entire time we have owned him, he has never been sick, lame, suffered from colic or required any time off through injury or illness. He is fit, healthy and in excellent condition, with no sarcoids, sweet itch, laminitis, lumps or bumps.

He is wonderfully low maintenance and doesn’t need riding every day. He can happily have four weeks off and return to work exactly as he left it, without any fuss or freshness. He currently works four days a week in our riding school and thoroughly enjoys his job. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available for viewing.

Scooby has a very simple routine and is incredibly easy to keep. He has a basic diet of haylage when stabled and grass when turned out. He currently lives in a mixed herd of 25 horses, is stabled during the day when working and turned out overnight. Equally, he would be perfectly happy living out full-time or being stabled full-time. He is not clingy and is equally content living or turning out on his own if required.

Scooby is only available because we regularly rotate our riding school horses after around 12 months to two years. We strongly believe these wonderful ponies deserve the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one family home where they receive individual attention, more variety and plenty of fun adventures. They work incredibly hard teaching children and give so much of themselves every single day, so we feel they deserve the very best next chapter.

Whoever is lucky enough to buy Scooby will not just be purchasing a pony—they will be gaining a kind, genuine and utterly trustworthy family member who will give a child years of confidence, fun and unforgettable memories.

  • 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.

  • Used to kids and carnage, happy to be dressed up and fussed over
  • SUNSHINE TOUR QUALIFIER - Great to hack, jump, games, x-country, fancy dress, handy pony etc!

Our lead rein queen has done her job and my daughter is now ready to move on. My daughter has gone from being wobbly jelly, to a beautiful rising trot, first canters, and winning show jumping rounds, all on the lead. They won the winter showjumping league in May in both x-poles and 40cm. She’s also got 4x qualifications for sunshine tour at Hickstead which is my daughters dream, however, the new pony has fallen into our hands and we can’t keep two, as much as we’d love to!

She is an 11.3 (LHC) REGISTERED Welsh A chestnut mare with flaxen mane and tail. The pretty type you could show if you were a showing family- we are more into handy pony and jumping.

There are not many ponies you can take in the garden/house and on the school run with around 70 school kids surrounding and grabbing at them, she really is the most chilled lead rein pony.

She’s the type that can be bathed and plaited by kids, cartwheeled around, dressed up with sheets over her head to be a ghost(!) at halloween, tinsel at Christmas, all the non-horsey school friends coming for rides after school and have non-horsey dads tack her up!

She is not being sold as a first ridden as has not been used as this, she’s been our lead rein queen. I imagine older competent siblings or petite parents could school her and get her to this stage, but that’s not for us.

Great to load, clip, trim(barefoot), happy to stand on box all day, chilled at shows, up to date with teeth and vaccs etc. Fit and ready to go after a successful camp!

Tonnes of videos and pictures. Serious enquiries only as I will have a heartbroken little girl during this process. 07827441311.


Emily - Pony Club Princess/Hunting Honey!

  • Experienced, been there and seen it with children and smaller adults

Emily is a great pony who will turn her hand to anything, she'll do a smart test with good paces, jumps boldly and will travel and stand at competitions, hunting and training.

She has been ridden most recently by a young lad, who has moved onto a bigger horse, but took her to low-level jumping competitions, hunting and pony club. Before that a petite adult jockey who did a little of everything with her. She has also been with me (her trainer) giving lessons to a variety of my students and thriving well under the structured routine.

She is a forward ride and will respond easily to aids so she does respond well to confident little jockeys who want to gain experience with a pony with talent.

She prefers a routine environment and plenty of work or she can be reluctant to come in (will come for food straight away!). Happy to come in daily but can live out 24/7 all year as she's hardy with no signs of lami (touch wood!). Gets along turned out with mares and geldings.

She hasn't had any lameness in the years I've known her and showing no signs of her age in herself or her ridden work.

Good with farrier, vet and for most grooming - I have had to sedate her to clip her out, especially the legs, but if you like feather that's not a problem, I also imagine with some time she would improve but for ease and calm we found that was the best way.

Comes with tack and wardrobe.

Reduced as she isn't getting the attention she deserves!

Currently stabled on Hamps/Berks border - can be seen in Cotswolds, Oxfordshire with prior agreement.

  • Prolific in hand winner

What can I say about Teddy, he previously has been a prolific in hand winner for my friend before I purchased him at 8 when he had just been professionally broken. He has taken both my daughters from nervous novices to hacking out on their own with much bigger horses and loving nothing more than going on fun rides where he can be trusted to look after them. He has introduced them to county shows and always performed.

He has untapped potential for jumping but it’s not something we compete in.

I feel he is a true all rounder who can turn his hoof to anything.

He is unblemished with the most outstanding movement.

Only for sale as my eldest as truly outgrown him and sadly I’m not in a position to afford one for each of them.

Offers around £2000.00. With fitted tack and rugs available by separate negotiation.

Home is paramount.

  • 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

Bella is without doubt the yard favourite.

She is so easy to handle even for those who might be inexperienced. She has character and is a real head turner at shows. She is ideal for a family who want to do a bit of everything, she is so versatile and is not a pony that has to be ridden every day to perform well at the weekends. If your chosen discipline is show jumping, she would make a fantastic under 10 pony.

She is ready to bring huge smiles to her next jockey and provide hours of joy happiness.

  • Ideal starter pony
  • More whoa than go

Twinkle is an ideal starter pony for a child that wants to learn the basics whether that be on the lead rein or independantly, up downs / first canter/ first jumps etc safely and is happiest at this level.

🌟🦄Twinkle 🌟🦄

Has taught my daughter to ride competently and confidently off the lead rein walk, trot, canter and jumping a small course, she is the perfect pony for any small jockey to learn the ropes on and off the lead and 100% knows her job as this.

Attended many pony club rallies, dressage competitions, arena hires, clear rounds, beach , farm rides.

She hacks alone or in company always reliable, never spooky or silly 100% bomb proof on the roads. Will be lead from another horse with / without a jockey.

Perfect in open spaces, farm rides, beach etc will go at the front or back doesnt get silly on outings. Handled by my daughter for everything.

Good to clip, shoe, teeth, bath etc .

She does have small vet history none of which affects her in any way ridden and is in full work,.a small compromise for such a wonderful pony for a child to learn the ropes independently.

This is a very hard decision of our much loved pony, we must find twinkle the very best of homes, I am in no rush for her to go.

With full wardrobe (except saddle)
