  • Wonderful Lead Rein or experienced first/second pony
  • Lovely calm, kind temperament
  • Easy to handle
It is with a very heavy heart that we have decided to find Skype a new best friend who she can teach and have endless fun with.

Skype is a very sweet natured mare. No health issues other than sweet itch to manage in the summer months. She is always quiet and calm and enjoys a fuss! She will be a perfect lead rein for another little person, or a wonderful first/second ridden for a more experienced/confident rider.

We have owned Skype for almost 2 years and she has brought our daughter on heaps to coming off the lead rein at pony club camp. She would need a rider who is confident to tell her who’s in charge. The reason we have decided to sell is because our daughter has now moved onto her next pony, and our son has no interest in riding.

Skype is good to shoe, load, groom etc. She does need to be sedated to clip. Skype lives in at night and out by day in the winter months and lives out throughout the summer months.

Skype is happier kept in regular work.

We have attended rallies, show jumping, pony club camp etc. We have not taken her hunting and I’m not sure her previous home did either so I’m afraid I cannot give a reference for her hunting.

Happy to discuss further and will only be sold to the right family. Plenty of videos and photos available.

Contact Jack for further details on 07904185720. Serious enquiries only please.

Price includes rugs and tack.

This is a childs opportunity to own a super pretty little pony, who is looking for a new home due to change in personal circumstances.

I would say she is more suited as a lead rein or second pony as she needs a stronger rider to keep her moving forward,but she is very safe She will hack out, jump a coarse. has been shown in hand, ridden classes and won many a rosette with her previous owner .

She has a lovely temperament, is good with the farrier, to handle and clip, loads well. easy to turn out and comes in willingly. she is vaccinated and wormed to date .

'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!

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 8 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.

Price £9,000 – £10,500 (depending on tack options)

Full set of rugs and tack negotiable.

Copper! 13,2 hh 16 yrs old Newforest X Welsh Bay gelding

Copper has been the ultimate first pony who we have owned for nearly three years, now hopelessly outgrown, he is forward thinking, especially to a jump so wouldn’t be for a complete nervous novice, yet is 100% safe and never says no! He has got a good basic outline and does a very nice dressage test.never he ever bucked or reared in saddle or on the ground.

Super brave pony, sensible in open spaces and a jumping machine, loves cross country. He hacks alone and in company, safe in all traffic, happy to go first or last. Not the slightest bit spooky. He would excel in a pony club home, he is fast against the clock and turns on a dime.

He’s very good on the ground, stands to be tacked up, groomed, fussed over etc and has never bitten, kicked or pulled a mean face, good to catch, currently lives out 24/7 in summer with geldings and in overnight during winter months. He is barefoot and behaved for his trims. On occasion is tricky to load (lots better to load in a bridle) but travels perfectly.

He does require sedation to clip his face but we have done the rest of him without, up to date with teeth and vaccinations.

He has had steroid injections in his hocks for the past two years but this was to keep up with being in an active home with his now bigger rider. He passed his 5 stage vetting when purchased early 2023

Only serious enquiries and 5* homes for this pony it’s a really heartbreaking sale. He will come with Kent and masters saddle, bridle and his rug wardrobe.

Our perfect girl is looking for a new little girl to bring up the levels

Stunning 12.2 19yo (rides like a 10yo) Dutch mare imported by us 5 years ago.

Kitty has successfully taken my daughter from bottom hole xpoles to winning bs 80 and unaffiliated 90. I trust her with my life and my daughter jumps her saddle less and bridleless, takes her hacking around the farm, including galloping around the fields and hacking down the road. She is a cross country machine and jumps everything you put in front of her.

She has won chase me Charlie clearing 120 with my daughter. When Bellas friends who dont ride come over, she bumbles around the school with them on and off the lead. She will go forward off the littlest of legs and will fill her new jockey with so much confidence to go out and succeed. She is lovely on the flat and will go in an outline for a more established rider. She has done everything with my daughter.

She is perfect to load and will stand on the lorry all day. She loves a fuss and to be brushed a pampered, she really is a total dream. Although we arent in the pony club she has done pony club shows etc and loves to do games. She is perfect in open spaces.

Never sick or sorry and has never needed the vet since weve owned her.

Only the best of homes need apply, this is a heartbreaking sale as she is wasted now because she is hopelessly outgrown. Will not be sold to a purely showjumping home as she loves and deserves a varied life.

  • Easy to do and trustworthy with children
  • Excellent in all traffic
Ellie is a wonderful example of the welsh section A breed, she has been shown succesfully in hand for 3 years always being placed well and always well behaved with lovely manners, excelling in young handlers classes, including RWS last year.

She was professionally broken as a 6 year old and turned away as no rider, then lightly ridden by a small teenager last year and she showed huge promise, this year she has been ridden by a 4 year old for 5 months including hacking out and her manners were impeccable, she will make a top class leading rein in the right hands.

She will stand for hours to be groomed by little ones, she travels well, is good for farrier and dentist, great with dogs, has happily been led out on the lead by bigger horses for exercise, and is a truly lovely honest pony who is desperate for more work and a little person of her own.

I sadly have no rider for her and I cannot bear to see her go to waste.

  • Can turn her hoof to everything, great alrounder
  • Very sensible, easy off the leg, loves jumping

Luna really is the ultimate alrounder. She will hack for hours, alone or in company, first or last, woods, beaches, main roads. She would be great for a pony club home because she enjoys doing a range of activities from jumping and showing to pony games.

Great to travel in a trailer or lorry. Will stand on there for hours, come back in and out multiple times and always loaded by the kids. Great at stay away shows ad settle straight away. Will stand in the show ring for two hours and just snooze. No calmers or plugs required and our warm up is normally the best turned out class 

I would call her a 1.5 not quite fyfr because she does have quite a big stride and is easy off the leg. She would never just slip into trot or canter you have to ask but she isn’t a kick along. She loves to jump but will happily trot in for my youngest or step up and canter for bigger courses.

She has really taken to mounted games and definitely has some talent if you are interested in it. She is currently going to mounted games rally’s on a Tuesday night with a hoys mounted games rider who loves her. We have done one season of showing with her and she has ben really successful with great feedback from judges and would definitely go further in this field.

Great in hand and my 8yr old loves to do young handler with her she is very mannerly. Turns out with mares or geldings and I don’t restrict her grazing. Has front shoes on but we don’t have a school so have to hack 90% of the time. Great in open spaces. Just had teeth done.

Unfortunately we do not have great trial facilities as we are just starting our school and have to hack unless the ground is really dry and we can ride in the 12 acre field but I’m happy for her to go on a two week trial so you can do everything for yourself. Please call me if you are interested 07889635512

  • Show jumping / xc pony
  • Buttons 10 year old 12.3

Buttons has spent many years now taking my daughter from complete novice to competent rider. Sadly Buttons is up for sale as my daughter has now out grown him.

Competition wise, Buttons is out showjumping most weekends, he’s done everything from lead rein classes up to 85 cm. He happily jumps 90 at home, could possibly go higher with a smaller rider.

Lead rein, buttons is the perfect pony. He will happily go at the pace you ask of him. However I wouldn’t recommend him to a purely lead rein home. He will need someone who’s willing to have some fun with him.

First ridden pony wise, buttons is perfect. He will walk, trot and canter first time. Loves jumping.

Perfect to clip.

Pretty good to load.

Perfect with the farrier.

Can be difficult to catch when you’re getting to know him. Come for a treat.

Will hack out alone or in company.

Has been on beach rides.

Been on fun rides.

Good in open spaces, enjoys a blast around a field.

I have videos and photos.

ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER LIHS! Our gorgeous Vinnie is looking for a new home after LIHS. He is the perfect first ridden pony, moves beautifully, really eye catching and a judges favourite. He is great to handle, is super easy at shows and competitions, never gets worked up and has the funniest personality. He is great in open spaces and next to my horse at the gallops. Hacks out well with others but equally on his own. He behaves impeccably at PC rallies, PC camps and team events and competitions.

Vinnie has an impressive showing CV. He has done well at Riding Club level and BSPS. He has qualified and competed at HOYS (2024) and STARS in first ridden, lead rein and workers classes. He hasn't contested in HOYS qualifiers this year but qualified first time out for LIHS 2025 in a huge class at Great Eccleston country show this year in FR working sports pony. He has given my daughter countless rosettes but most importantly immeasurable confidence. Vinnie likes a varied life and we have found that the more variety we give him, the more of a superstar he is in the ring.

Vinnie is looking for his next little jockey as my nearly 8 year old wants to progress in show jumping. The ideal family for Vinnie would be one with young children who really want get going off the LR because he is the perfect transition from LR to first ridden. Also a family who want a super little family pony to have fun with and love like we do.

I can provide a roster of references for how fabulous this pony is, but I will be vetting potential homes too as he is so special to us and only the best will do. Both myself and Vinnie’s previous owner would like to stay in touch and follow his journey with his new jockey.

The Wonderful Bobby is Back Available!

This super boy was five-stage vetted last week and was unexpectedly pulled up for being slightly slow on a front flexion. He was completely sound in all other areas of the assessment and under saddle, and has never had a day sick or sorry with his current owners of 2 years. (They are also happy to disclose his vet history to support this).

He’s now been reshod and is feeling fantastic and yesterday was fully flexion tested by a top sports vet — with clear scans of his tendons and a full set of front X-rays available for interested buyers.

He’s looking and feeling better than ever — a truly lovely pony ready to find his next partner! 

Gigman Red Hot Chilli Pepper

11-year-old | Welsh Section B Gelding

An absolute superstar and confidence giver who has truly done it all!

“Chilli” is the definition of a steady Eddie — safe, reliable, and kind — but not so steady that he won’t go when asked. He’s forward enough to have fun, yet always sensible and honest.

Competition & Activity Highlights:
• Area 13 Pony Club Dressage competitor
• Consistently placed in First Pony Showing classes (BCA, Lambourn Show, and more)
• Pony Club One Day Events
• Unaffiliated SJ League (USJL) – placed at 40cm, 50cm, 60cm, and 70cm
• NSEA – competed successfully at 40cm–60cm
• Numerous organised fun rides – happy to lead or go behind
• Loves a blast up the racing gallops

He has genuinely done a bit of everything with us — always safe, fun, and willing.

My daughter has grown in confidence beyond belief thanks to this pony. She was terrified when he first arrived, and he has patiently taken her from that to happily jumping, competing, and hacking out everywhere. He is truly the ultimate first ridden / confidence giver.

He’s beautifully schooled, and with a rider who wants to practice their dressage or showing tests, I believe he would excel even further.
• References available from Pony Club instructors and coaches
• Extensive Instagram account documenting his journey and achievements

A wonderful, versatile pony who will give his next little rider the world of confidence and fun.

Freddie – 12hh Gelding, All-Round PC Superstar  17 years

The wonderful Freddie has been a true confidence-giver for us and is now ready to help his next rider shine. 

• Age/Height: 12hh gelding 
• Experience: Used for all Pony Club activities – happily pops round any course, bold and reliable for arena eventing, brilliant at shows, and totally unflappable in busy environments 
• Games: Freddie has done Pony Club games and is perfect with all equipment, unfazed by ponies rushing past or into him. He isn’t keen on being pushed to race, though—he prefers a steady rhythm over lots of “stop-start” work.
• Temperament: Exceptionally chilled and kind, the ultimate confidence restorer.

Reason for sale: Our focus is now 80% games and we need a pony who loves the fast, bendy side of it. Freddie has more than done his job giving us our confidence back and deserves a new home where his talents will be enjoyed.
