  • Quiet and kind first ridden pony for lightweight 7 year old
  • 11.3hh to 12.2hh, 7 years plus
  • Very experienced home awaits

I am looking for a kind and safe First Ridden pony for my small 7 year old daughter. She is riding off the lead. She is very keen, but not very confident and needs a really safe, steady pony to show her the ropes. Absolutely no bucking, rearing, napping or taking off.

We want to hack, do PC, local shows and hunt. Ideally we would like to have the pony on trial for a short period.

The pony will be kept at home with other ponies and horses and will want for nothing. I can cater to most health conditions. Younger siblings and cousins waiting to take the reins when my daughter outgrows the pony.

Good budget for the right pony. Based in South West, will travel for the right pony.

Please call/WhatsApp on the number provided.

  • Barnie would become your childs next best friend, loves attendtion and being part of the family!

Barnie has come second in a ridden pony show a couple of years ago.

He did the east kent 9.5 mile sponsonered ride yesterday and was brilliant so all fit and ready for fun this summer.

He has done a bit of jumping at home over little fences and small little logs.

He has done lots of hacking over the last 3 years and lessons in school.

He has potential to be a hunting pony or a pony club pony.

He is brilliant on the lunge and have taught children on the lunge with him . He also long reins well.

He isn't strong and just needs a kick to go and has a nice rhythmn to his work.

I have had him since he was 2 years old. I have had a local girl ride him over the last 3 years and he has taught her to ride. Would suit a 8 - 11year old depending on their size. The local girl is 14 years old now but she is petit and she still loves riding him but she is moving on to a bigger pony now.

Only being sold due to my cicumstances, only be sold to the right home.

He has had Lami in the past but caught quickly really good now. Just needs experienced home to manage him.

Good to load, feet trimmed, for the dentist, just needs sedation for clipping.

He comes with tack and rugs.

  • True Childs Pony

Heartbreaking sale of Rodney. He is a true child’s pony, perfect for someone coming off leadrein and ready to go into the first ridden classes.

He has taken my daughter from a very nervous leadrein jockey who had her confidence badly knocked and turned her into a confident rider, taking her into the ring safely.

Rodney had been placed well in HOYS qualifiers and RIHS qualifiers always coming home in the ribbons, as well as local level shows.

I trust him implicitly to take her into the ring safely, he looks after his jockey and often has a 5 year old riding him round.

Rodney is good to do in all ways and my daughter handles him on the ground by herself. He has a life height certificate, is fit and ready to go out and compete for the rest of the season.

We are only letting him go due to my daughter being out of class at the end of the season and she has a new pony which is the next step up for her to concentrate on for the rest of the year.

Absolutely no time wasters as this is extremely hard for my daughter.

I have hundreds of photos and videos available for anyone genuinely interested.

He is priced at high four figures.

Based in Woodford, Cheshire.

Rhoswen Harmony multi talented pony!

  • Pony Club type
£6,250 OVNO
  • Welsh Section C
  • Chestnut
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Suitable leadrein / first ridden / more experienced rider
  • Massive pure mounted games potential
  • Pony Club type

I’ve owned Rhoswen Harmony, “Pumpkin” for a few years, she is part of my small bespoke riding academy, much loved & immensely versatile. She’s a very well bred welsh c ( full history of parentage recorded in her passport), who didn’t make the height to show , but pretty and eye catching for local shows and pony club.

Initially ridden away by us and schooled ( with a consistent rider works beautifully in an outline) we took her out to a couple of dressage competitions.

As part of my academy she has taught children from three years on the lead rein to ride, to petite teenagers jumping a course of show jumps and everything in between. She can up her game and tone back down when required, a very useful, popular & versatile pony.

She is a firm favourite with my Special Olympics riders and SEN children, standing quietly to mount and dismount. Equally good leading her over a horse trials course as she is mounted. She has introduced & taught many riders to the thrills of canter, both on & off the lead rein. Used to poles, obstacles & show jumps.

She absolutely loves mounted games, in fact I think she would excel in this competitively, she’ll stay quiet on the lead rein if required, but goes up more gears with a more experienced rider who wants to be first over the line!

Good to catch, clip, with the farrier, groom, bath, vet, hacks round the village in company. Will live out or come in a stable. Lived out in a mixed herd with us & rugged all winter. Very easy to keep & economical with feed.

Could Ideally be suited to a variety of different riders, especially PC and easily produced on for mounted games competitively as she’s still young.

Loving, knowledgeable 5* home sort. No loans or LVTB.

Genuine serious enquiries

Personal change in family circumstances , no fault of Pumpkin.

Super safe LR pony - 11.1hh unreg Welsh mare

  • Exceptionally safe with tiny children – a true confidence-giving first pony
  • Proven in traffic, at busy shows & events – calm, reliable and unflappable
  • Kind, patient and easy to handle – loves grooming, fuss and attention

15 year old Welsh mare, approx 11.1hh, a genuine and hard-to-find safe first pony for very young children.

She is an absolute saint on the ground and will happily stand for hours to be groomed, fussed and pampered by the smallest of children. A true confidence giver and the type you can trust completely for little ones to learn around safely.

A proven lead rein – steady, sensible and takes excellent care of her rider. Perfect for first rides and building confidence. Not a top level competition pony, but invaluable for a child starting out / local shows.

Experience:
• Loves hacking and is excellent in traffic
• Unfazed at busy shows and events
• Has taken part in fancy dress and fun rides
• Used to children and a busy environment

Manners:
• Good for farrier (barefoot), dentist and to clip
• Good with the vet (just prefers a confident adult handling her)
• Loads well in a lorry, needs a bucket for a trailer but travels well and will stand all day at a show alone or in company

Management:
• Needs restricted grazing in summer months, has had laminitis in previous home which wasn’t disclosed to us. Easily managed with exercise and restricted grazing.
• Happy to live in or out, alone or in company

Ideal home:
A family looking for a safe, kind and genuine first pony where children can learn to handle, groom and ride with confidence.

Not suitable for a serious competitive home – she excels as a safe, steady child’s pony rather than a performance pony. We are selling her as lead rein only as that is all she has done in her 4 years with us.

A very sad sale of a much-loved pony – only available because children have given up riding and must go to the very best home.

Stunning 11.2 10yr old Bay Roan sec A

This pony has been an absolute pleasure during the time we have had her - she is a true lead rein pony

We purchased her last year in the hope of using her for a fr too, sadly she is far to laid back off the lead rein in the school so for this reason she is very sadly looking for a new home

She has attended local shows with us, hacked on and off the lead rein - she is a forward pony on the lead but absolutely 100 in every aspect

Happily pops a little fence and safe and sensible enough to have off the lead in open spaces / fun rides with out any worry

My children are quite competent jockeys age 6 and 10 however we have had a variety of friends children including very nervous ones on her and she really steps up and looks after them

She is good with the farrier / trailer / clip and trim - she is shod in front due to previously having laminitis in her previous home

We have managed her without any issues - she’s on soaked hay and some simple herbal supplements in her feed

She has previously been to the royal Welsh and would easily show as this was our plan with her

She will stand for hours tied up for the kids to groom and faff and good for them to handle on a daily basis

She’s an amazing pony and deserves her next little child to love

Happy to answer any questions - lots of videos etc available

Home is of up most importance as she is a huge part of our family and will only be sold to a home we are happy with

I SPY

Unfortunately the time has come to find my little nemo a new home. It’s time for him to go out and show the world what he’s made of and have some fun with a child. He’s currently out of work, wouldn’t take much to get him back into work at all - my youngster has just been broken in and taking up all my time hence the sale, just lack of him which he deserves.
Nemo is a 12.2 piebald, 8 year old cob.

Over the years we have had so much fun together and done everything including:
- Hacking (alone/company/front/behind)
- Showjumping
- Cross country (competition/schooling)
- Beach ride
- Sponsored rides
- Natural horsemanship camp (groundwork)
- Pony camp
- Pole work
- Long reining
- Showing (in hand/ridden)
- Gridwork
- Lunging/double lunging
- Free schooling/jumping
- Pub hacks
- Hacking with a bike
- Dressage
I have documented his whole journey on my Facebook page under the album ‘Nemo’ where there is hundreds of photos and videos. References available.

He’s been ridden by all ages, and is happy to go on/off lead rein when needed. With incredible manners on the ground. He is also happy to ride and lead. Absolutely bomb proof in all traffic, happy to lead past the biggest of traffic.
Nemo is also an angel to travel, trailer or lorry… load first or last.

Nemo has mane and feather to die for… placing first in best coloured and qualifying for hickstead. He’s a real quality stamp of cob with some lovely comments from showing professionals. He has recently had his mane chopped for maintenance during the winter. He can be a little unsure about his feathers being brushed out and can fidget but with a second pair of hands of someone holding him telling him he’ll be okay he stands.

Schooling/in the school he is established in walk and trot but the canter is green, due to his age I haven’t pushed or rushed him in the school but it wouldn’t be hard to get the canter going more due to being a quick learner and always wanting to please - he’s more than happy to canter following someone out hacking.

He previously spent 2 summers on livery with me where I work where he had so much fun. We spent hours hacking over 100 acres of land alone and in company, bareback in the summer and is perfect in open spaces.

Stables beautifully, super clean in the stable and manners to die for in/out the stable. Comes in alone and won’t make a fuss, happy to lead with another horse no matter the size, or in a 3.
He also completed summer camp with a couple of little girls where he did all activities with them.

Nemo has had the winters off with me, due to wanted him to mature correctly and spend time just being a young pony. This has done him the world of good. Has come back into work each time after time off like he never had time off.

He’s been clipped twice with me which he was great about, one bib clip and one full body out apart from legs - couldn’t part with his feathers! he was super!

Nemo does have fleshy mouth which is soothed with the correct bit (peewee bit) and gentle hands while riding. He has two wolf teeth which he hasn’t had removed has as not causing any problems.
He is dominant in the field, would suit individual turnout or with another pony who will stick up for themselves.
He wears a nose net to help with the pollen, more so in the summer but I have kept it on all year round and it has helped his nose flick.

More than happy to answer any questions anyone has, I can’t stress enough how wicked this little pony is, and is he was bigger he wouldn’t be going anywhere. I want the best for him and that means letting him go.
Looking for a 5* home and all potentially buyers will be asked for references.
Many photos/videos available! Based 10mins from Gatwick.
Can come with bridle which already has his peewee bit on and his rugs at extra.

Beautiful 12.2hh Liver Chestnut Mare – 5 Years Old

A lovely 5-year-old, 12.2hh liver chestnut mare looking for her next little rider to enjoy and love.

She is a quiet, laid-back pony who is very quick to learn and takes everything in her stride. She has a genuine willing attitude and really wants to please, making her a pleasure to work with.

She is handled daily by children and has been ridden solely by a 9-year-old, proving herself to be kind, sensible, and reliable. She hacks both alone and in company, and is great in open spaces with no fizz — my daughter regularly hacks her out on her own with confidence.

She loads and travels well and has been out to a couple of shows where she has behaved foot perfect every time. She has also attended BD training camp, where she settled in straight away and behaved impeccably throughout.

She has no vices, is easy to bath and plait, and will happily pop a fence, although this is not something we have pushed as my daughter’s interest is not in jumping.

She is happy to turn out alone or in a mixed herd and is equally content to live in or out.

Fully vaccinated and wormed. Up to date with farrier and physio.
Tack included.

This is a very sad sale, only due to my daughter prematurely moving on to a bigger pony.

A genuine, much-loved pony looking for the perfect next home.

Great to lunge and perfect on the ground. She likes to have a friend with her, if she’s tied up by herself she can get quite fidgety but she soon settles.

Gleam has done a bit of everything since we’ve had him including going to the gallops, beach, cross country, fun rides, show jumping and dressage. He’s always so well behaved and is the sweetest pony on the yard.

Gleam will live in or out, is barefoot and good for the vet, dentist, farrier and to clip. Vaccinations are up to date.

Gleam will happily trot round a course of cross poles on or off the lead rein. On the flat Gleam has a lovely steady, comfortable canter but does get a bit fizzy and excitable when cantering over poles and jumps. Therefore we think he’s a 1.5 pony or first ridden for a confident child. No matter how excited he gets, he always stops when asked, he’s such a genuine pony.

In his younger days Gleam was a competition pony and jumped some big tracks but since we’ve had him, he has shown he’s not interested anymore and will stop when the jumps get higher than 60cm. Although he might not want to jump big jumps anymore, he still loves to go round the smaller courses. He also loves hacking and is very good in open spaces.

This is a very sad sale as he’s very much loved so would like to stay in touch with new owner.
Tack included.

British Riding Pony (Registered Ninfield x Cosford)

Spirit is a brilliant and beautiful lead rein pony. She is very versatile and has turned her hoof to anything we have asked of her. My daughter has done summer camp, clear round/showjumping, countless group lessons/arena hires, mini hunt, dressage, and games. Spirit has qualified for 2026 Sunshine Tour at Hickstead in two showing classes. We have also recently attended a couple of Pony Club rallies. Spirit is good to hack and will also lead off another horse.

Loads and travels well. Good with Farrier (barefoot) and to clip. Up to date with Dentist and vaccinations. Currently living on a working farm.

Spirit has had EMS with previous owner so needs grazing to be managed. Genuine reason for sale as my daughter needs the next pony up and we feel Spirit excels in her lead rein work. Best homes only as we will be sad to this super pony go.

Genuine Fun Pony

13.1hh 10 yrs extremely kind and honest, loving family pony who is looking for the very best of homes where she can continue to give confidence, love and win rossettes for her new family. She is established in all spheres and offers a genuine fun ride, suitable for both adults and children as she takes up the leg well making her suited to all family members.

A fantastic first or second pony club pony but isn’t a plod, she works off the leg so would be a peg to much for a child that’s going to burst into tears if she trots forward when asked , a real professional in all activities, a brilliant confidence giver to get a child jumping from cross poles to 90cm , she is great both showjumping and cross country and was previously a fantastic hunting pony who has hunted with young children and adults alike. She is a cracking push button ride, combining “ not too fast “ with equally “ not too slow” and is ridden with a snaffle at all times. Well schooled , and loves doing pairs , Hunter trials, unaffiliated jumping etc, has the scope and honestly to low level BSJA too! She loves to jump both SJ and XC and never stops .

To hack out she is as good as you will find, you name it, lorry’s , buses , tractors, farm machines, dogs, bikes , motorcycles, this little lady will not blink an eye !

To handle she is an angel, catch, farrier, travel, bath, grooming.

5 stage home for this precious girl
