⭐ A lovely young gentleman with so much potential! ⭐

Blue has only recently arrived in the UK and has already impressed us with his wonderful, quiet nature and sensible attitude to life!

Quiet as a lamb and taking absolutely everything in his stride! 🥰

Blue was happily ridden by a 12-year-old girl, showing just how relaxed and willing he is in a completely new environment. Absoloutely super on the road .

Since arriving, we have schooled him and taken him hacking, and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with.

He is a lovely young horse with a fantastic attitude and plenty of potential for someone to put their own stamp on.

🐴 What’s next for Blue

We are planning to take him cross-country and hunting very soon, allowing him to gain further experience and continue his education.

💰 Sensible offers around the asking price will be considered!

Blue is available now, and the longer he stays with us, the more his price will increase as his education and experience develop.

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a lovely young horse before he progresses further!

A very exciting opportunity to purchase a talented, versatile pony with a proven show record and an exciting future ahead of him.

A prolific winner with numerous championships and placings at county level, this quality Traditional Gypsy Cob has been lightly but successfully shown throughout 2026, narrowly missing out on his HOYS ticket by just ONE mark!

Graded with CHAPS and eligible for grading with TGCA and BSPA.

Produced slowly and correctly under saddle, he has been given the time to mature and develop and is now ready for someone to take the reins and contest the 2027 HOYS qualifiers.

He is not just a pretty face! He has also hunted and competed with great success at unaffiliated dressage. We feel he has plenty of untapped potential in the dressage arena and would love to see what he could achieve if taken on to affiliated competition.

A future junior pony in the making?

Standing at 135cm, he would also make a super junior pony prospect if gelded, offering an exciting opportunity for someone looking to produce a future HOYS contender. With his showing success, hunting experience and dressage ability, he has the versatility to turn his hoof to a variety of disciplines.

Options regarding gelding can be discussed with the right prospective home.

Easy to manage and handle:

* Good for the farrier (currently trimmed only)

* Good to clip and trim

* Easy to catch and load

* Straightforward in the stable, even when stabled in a barn alongside mares and geldings

* Hacks out alone or in company, including with mares

This is a genuinely difficult sale. If he stood at 15hh, he wouldn’t be going anywhere! Unfortunately, a lack of jockey forces this decision, and finding the very best home is absolutely paramount.

A talented, proven and versatile pony with an exciting future ahead of him, whether continuing his showing career as a stallion or being considered for a junior career as a gelding.

The right home is more important than the price. Serious enquiries only.

📍 County Durham, happy to travel.

Adult rider, 5’7”. I’ve shown my current loan pony all season including Equifest.

I only learned to ride as an adult, so safe, sensible and confidence-giving is the priority.

Mare or gelding, with enough substance to take up my leg. Traditional cobs particularly welcome, but open to other suitable types.

Must be good to hack, handle and take out.

Nothing green or needing producing, and no sharp/strong types, bucking, rearing or bolting.

Would love something I can continue showing and possibly do some low-level jumping/Workers with.

We have our own place, so a loving, knowledgeable 5-star home awaits, where the right horse will be very well cared for and have a home for life. ❤️

Please PM with details if you have anything suitable 😊

WF Frankie.

Frank is a pony of a lifetime. A happy pony, he is a super dressage rising star but will turn his hoof to anything - showing, hacking, pleasure rides, hound exercise. Pops a small fence happily. Ridden competitively by an adult but would be equally suitable for a junior rider as he is polite and mannerly.

A handsome Traditional Cob this pony is practically perfect. He has just started his BD career and has contested 4 classes with 3 overall wins and qualification for the Regionals at Prelim in just 2 outings and sold with the ride. A forward, responsive ride he is working Novice at home. Confident in warm ups and competitions indoors and outdoor.

Frank is easy to do in all ways. Hacks out alone or in company, excellent with traffic, is so sensible we use him to lead the young horses off to introduce them to hacking. Has been lightly shown - the judges love him! A pleasure to ride in company on pleasure rides or out with hounds. Lives in or out. Easy to clip and with the farrier. Loads and travels well. Easy to take to competitions on your own. No vices or medical conditions. A genuine pony.

Ponies like Frank are few and far between and he is very sadly for sale to make way for home bred youngsters starting their competitive journey.

Absolutely super to catch, loads on lorry and trailer. Up to date with farrier, worming and vaccinations.

A very sad sale due to downsizing to smaller ponies due to my mums injury. We would want to keep in contact as she’s a lovely girl.

🐎❤️ OUR BOY BILLY aka Bill ❤️🐎

Weve made this very hard decision

Bill is rising 3 (3 in January) cob who oozes so much potential. He is currently standing in the stick at 13.3 and I think should make 14.1 already.

Hes very well handled on the ground, I know all his background from born, his breeders we got him at 5 months old in a horrid state (not from breeder)

Hes been out showing this summer and done amazing qualifing for ESUK and weve been told to get his passport over stamped for CHAPS as told by numerous judges he will do very well.

Passported, chipped vaccines up to date, perfect for farrier. Hes needed for nothing at all.

Been out riding and lead next to our other cob weekly, been sat on and rode around farm and field bareback by my daughter. Had saddle on him and walked around. Bitted in a bridle, no care in the world.

Stands to be washed and plaited, loads of travels very well.

Was gelded at 11 months old with us by Thortons.

This is a difficult decision so a good home is a must. Hes an easy boy and adores humans and fuss.

Comes wiith his rugs, perfect time to build a bond with him ready to start in spring and he will be easy for someone.

Lets find Bill his perfect family. Home must be happy for us to stay in touch.

Seeking my next perfect pony! Must haves between - 14 h and 15.2h, between - 6 and 17

Ideally to be within 2 and a half hours of Derbyshire. Would consider going further for the perfect one !

MUST be safe around traffic , farm machinery , farm animals ( as I live on a farm )

Would be doing happy hacking , schooling , fun rides , local shows - flat showing and dressage.

All year round turn out on private land , living with a Connie gelding and mini Shetland gelding ( can be in separate field)

Massive stables roughly 4 times bigger than an average one ! videos and pictures can be provided

Lots of land to hack around.

My preferred breed is a chunky Connemara type just because I love the breed so much , but would consider something else that fits the bill !

I previously had a bad accident with my last pony on the road with a tractor and my confidence is very low , it's very important that my next pony is a very safe confidence-giver. I am aware no horse is perfect but I don't want anything sharp or spooky and nothing that bolts , rears or bucks , strong etc so I can get confidence back for this reason I wouldn't want anything super young and green.

more woah than go type

I would prefer no health issues but if it's something slight I will consider.

more must haves are good loading , good for farrier , dentist , for leading and for the vet.

I have had weekly dressage lessons and then monthly lessons with jumping and spent a lot of time hacking ,before my accident. I have had horses for many years and was a competent rider until my accident where I lost confidence and i haven't ridden regularly for a while now , which is why its very important my next pony is safe and willing to help me get back into it.

I am aware this is a lot to ask for but I know somewhere they must be one for me :) genuine 10 star home awaits thanks !

For Sale - a one in a million super star 12hh, 14 year old mare

It's finally come the time to advertise our beloved pony Rosie. This mare has been the best thing to ever happen to my daughter who was once a very nervous rider. Rosie has looked after her from the moment we had her, moving from poles on the floor 2 years ago, to this summer winning at NSEA Summer Championships at Hickstead in the warm up 40cm Style Class and 5th in the main class. Even jumping 50cm for a team 7th. There have been countless wins and smiles along the way 🙂

Results include:

1st NSEA Final at Hickstead - Warm Up class

5th NSEA Final at Hickstead - main class (70+ competitors)

7th Team NSEA Final at Hickstead

NSEA Regional Wins at Beaver Hall and Pickering Grange

3rd BSPS Spring Show at Moreton Morrell - training stakes

McAliece Award – Most Stylish Rider at PC shows

2nd Arena Evening at Newbold Verdon

Competed at countless unaffiliated local shows

Rosie loves her job and has competed and placed in Show Jumping, Arena Eventing, Working Hunter and XC events. She always brings home a rosette.

Out hacking, Rosie will lead or follow and often hacks with my daughter alone, protecting her rider at all times and even enjoys hunting for blackberries!

She has attended many rallies, lessons and Pony Camps. On the yard she's a firm favourite, following people around being nosey. Not fazed by children, farm machinery, dogs or other animals. Currently lives out in her own field but always with friends close by. She has lived in mixed herds.

Rosie loads with ease on trailers or lorries and is no bother with the farrier or to clip. Never sick or sorry.

Rosie thrives with variety - she is truly a one in a million FYFR/1.5 super star.

Please no timewasters as this is an extremely hard decision, so Rosie will only go to a 5* home where she will be cherished. We are looking for a kind loving family with small children off lead rein who are looking to develop their riding whilst having fun. Rosie needs a child or children who want to learn the ropes, try their hand at WH, SJ and PC activities whilst having a best friend who is 100% safe.
