  • Show- jumped BS on a ticket,
  • fantastic hunting pony
  • Good jump, nicely forward, soft mouth

14 .2 HH with shoes, currently bare foot. 14.1hh unshod.

7 years old this year late foal.

Has BS / SJ on a ticket (video's available) via whats app, also SJ by me unaffiliated this year, won or placed each time out.

Has x country schooled and competed dressage and show jumping with previous owner, has also hunted with both blood and fox hounds with previous owner.

Jumps anything put in front of him, nicely forward to a fence but not strong, soft snaffle mouth

Great hack alone or with company, forward but not strong, soft snaffle mouth, goes nicely in an outline when in consistent work, we have done a fair bit of jump schooling, so he see's his own stride with no need to set him up, learns quickly and eager to help out, does not stop. we have had him out competing, great to load and travel and fine with all going on around him in the warm up, goes with his ears pricked and a smile on his face, he is not the finished article, but he has been out competing and been placed each time so far, (no poles down)

Been in hand and ridden showing and WHP (locally) could do county level with a child. and unaffiliated SJ. won or placed each time out, done fun rides and boxed up and hacked around local by ways /forestry land,a genuine nice to deal with all rounder, loads and travel's well alone or with company, stands quietly on the lorry when his buddy is taken off and quietly waits his turn, really nice guy to deal with, goes out/in first or last, out in field alone or with company no issues just likes his food, presently carrying to much weight, as he is not doing enough work due to my health issues.

I brought him (mature petit female) with the intention of showing, WHP, SJ, ode, arena eventing and hunting and hacking and he does it all with a smile on his face, however being an older person with health issues I no longer have as much enthusiasm to ride as I used to and feel he would benefit from a younger more active partner, he does like a one to one friendship/ partnership.

lovely chunky stamp of a pony, no recorded breeding but by his lovely cheeky kind character and his eye catching leg action in trot, I would assume him to be a welsh part bred. not enough feather to do traditional classes though !

Happy chap to deal with day to day, good catch , clip , farrier , (unshod) load , brush, tack up, lunge etc, no vices or lumps or bumps,

moves straight very good doer !

Vacc's , teeth, worming all up to date

Brought 2 years ago with full 5 stage vets cert. open to any vet.

his tack and rugs could go with him at an additional cost. he could go for an initial lease period.

he is not available for loan, and I do not think he would suit a novice.

I did not expect to advertise, I think the world of this boy, but I think my riding days are coming to an end.

He is a lovely , kind natured pony who should be out competing and enjoying himself with a like minded rider.

If advert is still live then he is still available

Texts will not be answered.. other then for jumping video,

I have no addition videos of recent show jumping / showing /WHP as I was not expecting to put him up for sale !

  • Gelding
  • 9 years

  • Fabulous temperament and easy to do in every way
  • Competed affiliated dressage with great scores
  • Exciting prospect for showing

Koby is a stunning black Traditional Gypsy Cob (registered with the BHS and TGCA). He has excellent conformation, a fabulous mane, tail and 4 white feathers, and bags of presence. He is a real head-turner who naturally catches everyone’s eye wherever he goes.

A genuine, sensible and much-loved pony, Koby has been ridden and produced at home. He is snaffle-mouthed, naturally works in an outline and is nicely adjustable to his rider. He would suit a smaller or novice rider looking for a confidence-giving partner, while also having enough quality and ability to be enjoyed by a more experienced teenager or small adult. He has also been introduced to jumping.

We have owned Koby since a foal and he has been well exposed to a variety of environments competing in affiliated dressage. He takes everything in his stride and behaves impeccably throughout.

With his beautiful traditional type, quality and excellent conformation, Koby has all the attributes to make an exciting prospect for the SEIB Traditional Gypsy Cob HOYS classes. With further production, he has the potential to become a serious contender in the show ring.

Away from the spotlight, Koby is a firm yard favourite with a lovely, genuine temperament. He is good to catch, shoe, load and clip, and is well behaved with the vet. He hacks happily alone or in company and is good in open spaces.

Koby is a genuinely special pony who combines looks, quality, temperament and untapped potential. This is a sad sale, and we would love to find him a five-star home where he will be loved as much as he is here and given every opportunity to continue thriving and fulfil his considerable potential.

Ginny has been with me for 3 and half years, sadly now for sale due to my ongoing health problems.

She is a kind mare with lovely willing attitude. She has been ridden exclusively by me (66 years old and petite) during the time I have owned her.

She is ridden 4/5 days week, a mixture of hacking, including trips to fells and forests , schooling, clinics, lessons and pole work.

We have done flatwork camps, dressage competitions, endurance riding, charity gallops and horse agility.

I no longer jump, so she has not done this to date.

Good to box/clip/shoe/catch. Never sick or sorry, just gets on and tries her best.

She has a lot of life experience and would like to continue on with this varied career. She is good enough to show, but this is not something I do any more.

Shod all round. Chaps reg.

Please call for a chat if you are interested.

14.2hh, bay, 12 year old, Welsh X Cob, gelding.

Flash is sadly for sale on behalf of his owner.

He excels on the flat. In his previous home he had numerous wins and placings in the Dressage arena. He qualified for, and competed at the PC Dressage regionals 3 times, and also came 2nd in his first BD test. Regularly scores high 60,s/70%.

A smart and naturally active mover, flash is easy to put together on the flat in an outline and creates a lovely, correct picture. Works well laterally with medium paces coming on nicely.

May suit BYDR home.

Flash hacks alone or in company. He is good in traffic and not fazed by farm machinery, large vehicles or motorbikes.

His current owner has done lots of New Forest hacking with him, which he absolutely loves.

He loads and travels well in a lorry or trailer and is polite to handle and good to clip.

In his previous home, he led an active PC life participating in all activities.

Been hunting with VWH on multiple occasions, proving himself to be mannerly at the meet and good with hounds.

Flash is not a confident show jumper and doesn't enjoy this discipline, so not suited to a home wanting to do lots of this.

Quiet, affectionate nature.

Flash takes his confidence from his rider, so is best suited to a reasonably experienced, confident rider, and an active home that wants to do lots of hacking, Dressage, hunting, clinics and shows.

Will jump 50cm/60cm on or off the lead rein. Perfect child's pony and so much fun! Amazing to hack out and in lesson and never unsafe. Patience is required when loading her. Good for vet, farrier, clipping etc. Would make any child very happy this Christmas!

💕 MINNIE – A VERY SPECIAL PONY LOOKING FOR HER NEXT LITTLE BEST FRIEND 💕

🐴 13hh | 11-year-old Coloured Cob | Mare

📍 Bromley, Kent

🌟 A genuine, kind and confidence-giving pony! 🌟

Minnie is a lovely, safe, comfortable and rhythmical pony who would make a fantastic child's pony or mother/daughter share.

She is snaffle-mouthed, straightforward and responsive without being sharp. She's equally happy plodding along in a slow, steady trot or stepping up a gear and working nicely in an outline.

❤️ A pony who has given us so much!

We've owned Minnie for the past three years, and she has been my daughter's wonderful first pony after moving on from riding school lessons.

During this time, Minnie has taken my daughter from riding school ponies to confidently riding, hacking and competing independently.

Together, they have enjoyed:

⭐ Pony Club rallies and group lessons

⭐ Mounted games

⭐ Showing

⭐ Dressage

⭐ Cross-country schooling

⭐ Showjumping from cross-poles up to 60cm

⭐ Qualifying for and competing at the Sunshine Tour!

Minnie has been the perfect pony for building confidence, having fun and making wonderful memories.

✅ Good to load and travel

✅ Good to hack

✅ Good for the farrier – barefoot

✅ Up to date with vaccinations

✅ Snaffle-mouthed and straightforward

✅ Tack and rugs included

Sadly, my now 11-year-old daughter has outgrown Minnie, and it's time for her to make another little rider's dreams come true.

🏡 A loving, knowledgeable home is our absolute priority for this lovely, calm and kind pony.

Fantastic Hunting Pony

13.3hh 11-year-old mare.

A lovely, fun and experienced pony with plenty to offer her next jockey.

A fantastic hunting pony. She will happily stand at the meet and is great with hounds. She has a lovely jump and will cross any country. Has attended Pony Club camp, rallies, has showjumping experience as well as enjoying fun rides and beach rides.

Hacks happily alone and in company and is generally good in traffic, although can occasionally be a little hesitant around larger machinery.

A real pleasure to have around the yard and easy to do. Good to catch, groom, tack up, load and travel, as well as being good for the farrier and dentist.

She would make a lovely second pony for a confident, capable young rider looking for a fun and versatile pony to enjoy a variety of activities with. She is not for a total novice and needs a rider with some experience.

Up to date with vaccinations, worming, chiropractor, dentist and farrier (barefoot).

Our Pony Club DC is happy to provide references.

A lovely pony who will be a fantastic addition to the right family. A good home is very important.

Bramble

The Ultimate Confidence Giver

Bramble is an exceptional 14hh chunky Cob,10 yrs, gelding who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable, ideal for a wide range of riders – from complete beginners, nervous adults and children to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm and steady ride.

Bramble is beautifully put together and has been there, done that, in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing gelding, he is the definition of safe and steady. He has more woah than go, making him a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability or responsiveness.

Ideal for Beginners, RDA, All-Round Riders

Bramble has worked extensively in a professional riding school environment for the past 2 years, and he has excelled with every level of rider, from total novices to advanced. He is also a firm favourite for RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) and special requirements sessions, both under saddle and during stable management and therapy activities.

He has experience in flatwork lessons, both private and group, as well as participating in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. He is confident over coloured and rustic fences and always takes care of his riders, trotting or cantering in steadily to each jump and helping the rider out If they come in on a bad stride.

He would easily compete in low level showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and hunting. Bramble competed in low level competitions, pole clinics, pony club and fun rides prior to coming to the riding school.

He absolutely loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. He is completely unfazed by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. He remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home. You can gallop him across open fields with loose horses running alongside him, then immediately pull him up and allow him to walk on a long rein or ask him to stand while horses run around him. He is most definitely not sharp, spooky or spinny.

He has been truly exceptional during his time at the riding school. He is unbelievably forgiving when riders lose their balance, lose their stirrups or have a bad stride into a fence. He always takes care of his riders. He will walk, trot, canter from voice commands without using the reins in both upward and downward transitions.

His substantial build, with a leg in each corner, combined with his calm disposition, sure-footedness and gentle nature, gives even the most nervous riders the confidence to progress and excel. He will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as needed without moving an inch. I can honestly say he has absolutely no quirks or negative traits.

Although he is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, he is also responsive to the leg and has three beautiful, balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, he will work into a nice outline with enthusiasm and energy while always staying calm and sensible. He has NEVER bolted, bucked, reared, kicked or bitten. He is the most loving, kind gelding you could ever wish to meet. Snaffle mouthed with absolutely no gadgets.

Manners, Temperament, Handling

Bramble has outstanding ground manners. He stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a head collar or lead rope. He is not clingy and is happy living in or out. In the field, he keeps himself to himself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd. He absolutely loves a cuddle and adores people, he will follow you around the yard and fields with no head colour and lead rope wanting a cuddle.

Bramble has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps or unsoundness, and has only had two owners.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. He is excellent to bath and catch, great to load and travel, and fantastic with the farrier, vet and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. He can have weeks or even months off and return to ridden work without any fuss. He maintains his condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

He passes our riding school annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting, passed with flying colours on the 26.06.26.

A Truly Special Gelding

Bramble is a rare gem. He is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable and capable all-rounder. Whether you’re a nervous adult, a beginner rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Bramble fits the bill perfectly. He is a genuine schoolmaster who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give his next owner years of pleasure. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Why Is He for Sale?

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every two years so they can enjoy one-to-one attention and new experiences. He is ready to bring joy to his next rider and deserves the very best home. He has been truly exceptional.

Jack is a lovely, laid-back gelding with a sweet nature and a real love for human interaction. He has settled beautifully into his foster home and is proving to be a relaxed, friendly character who enjoys spending time with people.

Jack is straightforward to catch and enjoys being groomed and fussed over. He is happy to stand tied up, is good to have his feet picked out and has been very well behaved for veterinary procedures and the farrier. He leads nicely, although he can occasionally be tempted by a tasty patch of grass!

Jack currently lives happily alongside another gelding and would love a home where he can continue enjoying the company of an equine friend. He is currently carrying some extra weight, so his new home will need to be mindful of his grazing and help him achieve a healthier weight.

With his gentle personality and easy-going attitude, Jack has all the makings of a wonderful non-ridden companion. He would be a lovely addition to a caring home where he can enjoy plenty of attention, a consistent routine and a happy future.
