Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder

  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar
I am just beginning my search for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane.

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics…. maybe the odd local show in future - but just for fun! I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us on a quiet yard. I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Perfect Pony Club Pony!

  • Very scopey and bold jumping.
  • Perfect to hack alone and in company.

Honey Boo (Honey Bee Ghost) is a chunky 13.2/3hh rising 6yo Connemara X Cob who loves her job! She has been an absolute pleasure to start her ridden career recently and is very confident and willing. Honey is a fast learner and loves to give things a go, she has been brilliant with traffic, big lorrys, motorbikes, dogs etc. from the start and is good as gold to hack both alone and in company. She was out cantering round the farm field without a care in the world within her first week under saddle!

Honey has a brilliant jump on her and has proven very bold and scopey. She has popped round a course of jumps with water tray and fillers and has never said no! Honey is definitely a more go than woah type of horse so wouldn’t suit someone wanting a kick along pony, she is still green but I would class her as very straightforwards and has taken everything in her stride - she has never bucked, reared, kicked, bitten, bolted etc. due to her age she wouldn’t be suitable for a novice yet, however she would be the most perfect pony club pony to move up the levels competing or just to have fun with a good kid, teen or small adult! Honey is every parent & kids dream pony… I just need a magic potion to grow her an extra 3 hands for myself!! I’m confident that first to view will buy so don’t wait around to message!

Full wardrobe with saddle, bridle, rugs & custom leather headcollar included.

Open to viewings & vettings (located NN12) but unfortunately no loans or trials etc.

Perfect Allrounder

£4,500 ONO
  • Cob
  • Coloured

  • 6 years
  • 13 hands
  • Super smart
  • Lovely temperament
  • Well schooled with a Scopey jump

Ruby will turn her hoof to anything and always gives you 100 % whatever you ask of her.

Ruby is well schooled on the flat, and would do very well in the show ring, she naturally carries herself well and certainly catches the eye , she has a Scopey jump for a little coblet, she is currently out competing at 60cm ( qualified for Cricklands first time) and is ready to step up , she has had double clears and been placed at every show we have taken her to.

Ruby loves hacking and is confident on her own and in company, she is good in open spaces and not at all bothered by any traffic,

Ruby has been out hunting and proved to be extremely mannerly , standing quietly at the meet and in between lines, and not getting silly or strong.

Ruby is good to catch, loads, and travels well in both trailers and lorrys , she is currently barefoot , she is a little unsure about being trimmed, so just needs a patient farrier who she can trust, she is a kind and loving little mare that just wants to please , she is up to date with everything and ready to go and have fun with a new family.

  • Would make a great Pony Club/RC prospect, mother/daughter share, or all rounder
  • Hacks alone and in company

A lovely 6 year old, 15h bay irish gelding with the kindest temperament and a genuine nature. This super cob has plenty of potential and a very exciting future ahead.

He is easy to handle on the ground and enjoys his work, offering a fun and rewarding ride. A brave type, he hacks alone and in company and is continuing to gain confidence with his education.

With his age he’s still young and green, he is not a first pony, and would be best suited to a confident rider who can continue his schooling and bring out the best in him.

Would make a great Pony Club/RC prospect, mother/daughter share, or all rounder. He has all the attributes to go on and do a variety of jobs, with potential to progress further in the right hands.

Good to box, shoe and clip

A kind, genuine pony looking for a knowledgeable home to continue his education.

Cwmgwaun Cadi 9. She’s back!! I must stop collecting ponies to keep!

Beautiful steel grey 3yr old to make approx 14.1/14.2, lovely nature, perfect blank canvas to make your own. She’s been handled, comes to call, really sweet girl. Not started any further education yet due to age. Considering she’s just turning 3 she’s already a great build, should make a great potential kids/teens pony or small adults best friend in the future.

She’s been a super companion for us here too as hasn’t been clingy to our others and been happy to be left alone without stressing etc, she’s a fantastic doer. Coat colour changes quite a bit she was born black dun. Breeding unknown as she came off the hills in wales with mixed breeds but she looked like a Welsh x Connie type.

  • Fit and ready for summer fun

SORRELCOURT SECRET KEY, aka GG, is a striking fun all rounder. She’s done pony club, riding club and trail hunting with the Heythrop Hunt.

Shes super loveable, comfortable to ride and a gem on the hunting field. Don’t let her age put you off, her years of experience have been easy and she shows no signed of aging. She has attended many pony club camps, rally’s and shows.

Although we have never stepped into the showing ring I think she would do well, she move well enough and has a fabulous presence about her.

She has been ridden by all kinds of people, from children to light weight adults and is fun for all. She is not a complete novice ride purely for the fact that she can be strong for an inexperienced child. A keen and able teenager or small adult would suit her best.

She has always been good in traffic and we hack her both alone and in company, she is easy to catch in the field, travels well, and good for the farrier. She is good to clip however we do pop the twitch on to clip around her eyes and ears.

She has been jumping 80cm at home and jumps bigger out hunting, she’s not the hedge jumping type but jumps all hunt rails etc.

  • Wonderful Competition pony now needing a quieter life
  • Looking for long term home with adult rider
  • Lovely friendly boy
We are looking for the right home for our superstar family competition pony.

He has been a wonderful family friend with us for 7 years ridden by three daughter's and mum and competed at all levels, He would now like a quieter life although he is still healthy and active.

He loves to hack alone and in company and is 100% with all the traffic. I have trusted him to hack alone with my young teenage daughters on country lanes and tracks for miles over the Quantocks. He likes to be in front when hacking in company. He has done many fun rides and finds them very exciting if in a group.

He could still do low level training, clinics etc..

At competitions he lights up and despite his age is not a novice ride. But totally knows his job.

Sam is a wonderful cuddly character at home. He is adored by everyone.

However having been a competition pony he is not a complete dope on a rope. We are looking for the right experienced person to allow him time to settle in a new home.

Sam is best on a quiet yard, ideally with maximum turnout.

He has no vices good to catch, clip, shoe, vet and travel.

I would like to find a home within an hour of Taunton in the South West.

Whatapp for more details or please call if interested.

£2,800
  • Welsh Section D
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Proven broodmare
  • Excellent bloodlines
  • Sweet willing nature
8-year-old registered Welsh Section D with established bloodlines and a really good brain. This mare has produced three registered foals, the most recent with us smoothly at home last year (see pics) so would be an asset to any stud.

She has a very sweet, gentle nature and is kind by temperament, making her a great candidate for someone looking to bring her on under saddle. She is currently unbroken and has had limited careful ground work, so will require an experienced and knowledgeable home to continue her education. That being said she is very biddable and easy to work with in the stable and on the ground and will follow you anywhere once she knows you.

She would be an asset to any stud or equally ready for a ridden career.

Photos do not do this mare justice. Everyone who sees her comments on her quality.

Genuine sale and 5 star home a must.
