  • 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: 12.2hh Grey Mare – Talented & Much Loved

  • Mare

  • Perfect partner for a young rider
  • Sad sale, only due to current rider outgrowing her

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.

• Brilliant lead rein pony or a good second pony off the lead with a more experienced rider
• Talented jumper – happily clears 80cm but has jumped over 1m15cm
• Doesn’t rear or bite
• Has never had laminitis
• Loves a cuddle
• Not easily spooked by passing traffic, etc
• Well-mannered on the ground, and with the farrier/vet/whilst travelling/grooming
• No health issues but can be prone to sweet itch, which is manageable

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

Looking for a special home

  • Bay roan
  • Gelding
  • 12 years
  • 11.2 hands
  • Safe
  • Well mannered
  • Child’s best friend

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.

12-13.2hh - gelding. 7yrs+

This is the first boy, with two children coming on behind him so we expect to keep the pony in the family until the end of its days. Experienced home near Badminton awaits.

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

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.

  • He has previously done showing, jumping, and Pony Club with my daughter

Johnnie is a lovely, genuine Performance Shetland who is the perfect lead rein pony and is also happy just off the lead. He has taught two 4-year-olds to ride and is extremely safe in open spaces – nothing fazes him.

He has been on loan for the past year to a novice rider and has lost some fitness due to doing less work, which is reflected in his price.

Johnnie would make a super racing Shetland or WHP for a more competitive child.

He has previously done showing, jumping, and Pony Club with my daughter. He is easy to handle and can be led from another horse, making him an ideal first pony.

Only for sale as we have another pony for our younger daughter who can do the same job and he is too good to be wasted.

Tack included.

Serious enquiries only, please.


FUTURE SUPERSTAR PONY CLUB ALL ROUNDER


Ref #: 403890
  • BEEN IN THE SAME HOME SINCE A FOAL
  • BRAVE, HONEST AND HUGE POTENTIAL

  • 5 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • BEEN IN THE SAME HOME SINCE A FOAL
  • BRAVE, HONEST AND HUGE POTENTIAL
  • A TRUE FUN PONY WHO IS BEING RIDDEN BY A CHILD
Timmy is a truly special little pony with all the attributes to become a top-class Pony Club all-rounder and a child / small adult’s best friend.

He is very genuine and willing in every way. He is currently ridden by a lightweight 13-year-old (5 stone) and is happily working in the school, walk, trot and canter. He’s popping a small course of fences nicely and has been cross-country, where he proved bold and keen, absolutely loving his jumping.

Timmy hacks out confidently both alone and in company and has been very good in traffic. He has a sensible head on young shoulders and takes everything in his stride.

He has been in the same loving place since a foal and has previously attended in-hand shows. He is now ready to go out and about and start getting some rosettes. Will be a cracking Pony Club.

Timmy is good to do in all ways — turnout, catch, stable, clip, bath, tack up, load, and handle.

A very sad reason for finding him a new jockey, he simply hasn’t grown big enough. This is a genuine, much-loved pony who will go on to be a superstar in the right hands. His family would love to stay in touch.

Still young and green, so he will need a kind, knowledgeable home to continue his education — but he has absolutely no malice and all the potential in the world.

His full wardrobe (rugs, saddle, bridle etc) are available to go with him for extra if wanted

Based Whitchurch, Shropshire

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

  • 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
