Perfect kids pony


SUPER SAFE
KIND, LOVING, SUPERSTAR

Panda is the calmest, considerate, schoolmistress who always takes care of her riders. Ridden by tiny tots both on and off the lead rein.

Tonnes of experience and very safe. Ideal for a beginner, nervous rider or a rider who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, even though she is extremely safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces. She is kind and willing and will do anything you ask, jumps a course of small fences, logs and cross country jumps, she walks, trots and canters incorporating figures of 8, 3 and 4 loop serpentines, 20 metre circles in all paces on and off the lead rein in a slow, steady relaxed gait.

Fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic pony for anyone to build up their confidence, learn to ride and continue to progress on.
Definitely a 1st and 2nd pony.

She really is a true kids pony who looks after the smallest of riders, she is currently in the riding school teaching children to ride, from complete beginners up to riders who can walk, trot, canter and jump.


She has done all flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when she first started her riding school career. She is very genuine and loves to hack out, she doesn’t pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, she is the most loving mare you could ever wish to meet, she participates in all our lessons, walkouts, hacks and stable management sessions.


Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and has brilliant manners enabling the tiniest tot to handle her safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed, bathed and pampered.

She has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy schoolmistress, with no ifs or buts.

Panda will hack out alone or in company in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of whether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on her own, she will not rush or pull even on the way home. She has been all Farm machinery, dogs, bike and isn’t phased.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

She is stabled during the day and out at night within a mixed herd, she is equally happy to be stabled or turned out full time, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite being out with 30 other horses.
She isn’t clingy in any way and is happy being stable and or turned out solo.

She is currently barefoot she has excellent manners with the farrier and could be shod if needed, she ties up anywhere, and loves attention.
She is excellent to catch, bath, clip, load, travel and with the farrier and dentist.

Panda would give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily compete at riding club level, fun/beach rides.

She can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance, she maintains his weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
She has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch, sarcoids, lumps or bumps.

I can honestly say he has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, she has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible pony, with so much to offer.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around about every few years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again.

We have other horses and ponies available for viewings.

Needle In A Haystack - Super Cob

  • Loves to jump
  • As straightforward as you’ll find

So proud to introduce this chap , quite simply none other than a total needle in a haystack find - 14.2HH, 15yo, cob gelding … meet ‘Tizer’!

Same hole for 14 years , full history known and never a day sick or sorry!

Easy to do everything with on the ground. Stands rock solid to be clipped , bathed , farrier etc! Perfect to catch, he comes to call and is first at the gate. Turns out alone or in mixed herds etc , he’s really very easy. Perfect to load and travel, live in or out … there’s so much I could say about him! If I was being over critical I’d say he’s grumpy in the stable. Nothing major , just face pulling , out of the stable - totally different horse

Tizer has done everything from teaching novices to collecting ribbons. Hunted , shown , dressage , plenty of show jumping and hunter trials, field mastered for four years, hunt scurried , fun rides , beach rides , lead horse for breakers , plenty of hacking mileage, riding club, lessons , clinics …… I’m sure you get the idea, you name it, he will have done it.

Snaffle mouthed in the arena at home. Leg in each corner type. Would take novices , used him here to give lesson on to children. He can be ridden around like he should be in a riding school. Equally, you can stick your leg on and pull him together to get a lovely piece of work from him. He very much adapts to the rider.

Tizer loves his jumping!! Bold and brave and never says no. Happy to trot around the cross pole class or go and jump the meter. He’s had ribbons from 50cm to 110cm - a point and kick kind of chap

Cross country , hunting, funrides etc he absolutely loves!! Can be more forward outside of the arena however still the same sane and kind lad, just requires a bit change. well hunted , field mastered for four seasons. Would be happy to take a newbie out and of course jumps anything you ask of him

I can’t sing his praises loud enough out hacking! It’s thanks to him that my very sharp show jumper has now started to hack out with Tizer as his lead. I will forever be in debt to him for this. Outstanding in the heaviest of traffic , infront of behind , stands solidly to mount. You won’t find a fault with him. Come and see for yourself and ride him up the 60mph main road , don’t take my word for it. You could ride this horse up the M4!

Participates in all riding club activities as well as camps , clinics etc with different riders over the years. He’s a bit of a local legend and well loved and known by many. Extremely sad sale for previous owner and I have promised I will only sell him to the best of homes where old owner can have contact details and first refusal on him back should new owner circumstances ever change.

That’s enough of me rambling , come and let him do the talking. In a nut shell , he can be a dope on the top happy hack or an all attempts go pony clubers ride , family man, and everything in between - I can’t think of a job he won’t do.

Jack is a striking, well mannered, genuine 12 year old Welsh section C gelding.

Jack is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard. Good for farrier, load, clip ect.

Jack has spent the first half of his life competing in in hand showing. However, has a small bursar in his knee, hence the price, which has check by vets and is benign.

Since Jack has been with us he has done a bit of everything. He has been xc schooling, showjumping, hacking alone and in company and has been amazing.

Jack would suit a family home that is going to give him lots of love and attention. He is an absolute sweetheart and just wants to please.

He is absolutely impeccably behaved on the ground and under saddle. He truly doesn’t have a bad bone in his body and is definitely more woah than go.

‘Sandhamvalley Queen of Hearts’

2 year old Smokey black filly (June 2023)
Currently standing at around 13.1/13.2hh, to make around 14.2hh.

Lillie has had the best start in life, been handled regularly and taught all the basics a youngster can be taught.
I have put alot of time and effort into her. She is excellent in all ways- to catch, lead, tie up, bath, load, picks up all feet, quiet for farrier. She is the friendliest girl, always comes over for a hug and loves a fuss. Has been shown from 10 months old, has gained reserve champion twice and 1 x youngstock champion as a yearling. Places well at local shows and knows what to do in the ring, trots up well.
She has been to a stay away show TOYS 2024 as a yearling and behaved impeccably. She is TGCA registered and qualified at Penistone Show last year for the TGCA Best of breed filly finals and Youngstock Quest for TOYS 2025, though she isn’t the heaviest with feather.
Up to date with vaccinations, wormed and trimmed regularly. She lives out 24/7 with access to shelter. Stables well when she has been kept in for shows.
Really sad sale but I have horses that I ride and have other youngsters which are being retained for showing and don’t have the time to keep them all. I have tonnes of photos and videos of her, she will only go to the VERY BEST of FOREVER homes.
She will make a lovely ridden pony in 2 years time. Show/future ridden home sought. Serious enquiries only!

If you ring, please leave a voicemail or a message otherwise I won’t get back to you.

Flymo / 15yo / 13.2 Cob

A compact, talented gelding with a charming temperament and a wonderfully trainable nature. He excels in all the basics—flatwork, jumping, loading, and clipping—and approaches every task with a willing attitude. With his presence and way of going, Flymo shows real promise for success in the show ring, while also being versatile enough to make a superb all-rounder.

He has spent the past two years with a young rider, competing successfully at county-level shows and dressage competitions, consistently bringing home placings. Prior to that, he was in the same home for approximately seven years, where his focus was primarily on dressage. During that time, he received regular schooling from highly experienced professionals, including a rider from the British Dressage Team.

Flymo is the type of pony who turns heads wherever he goes and brings joy to those who work with him.

  • 14.1 hands
  • Safe and enjoyable ride
  • Genuine and sensible attitude
  • Stand out colour and conformation
A fantastic stamp of a cob with a great attitude, he is easy going and genuine without quirks, and absolutely loves people!

In the arena he is nicely forwards and supple with a lovely rhythm and balanced, expressive paces. He is established in basic lateral work. He is progressing everyday in his schooling and has a fabulous light contact.

Currently has 11 BD points at novice level and has qualified for the summer area festival 2025. He is a pleasure to take out to competitions, stands at the trailer, is well behaved in the warm up etc. Has also been out to regular clinics in indoor and outdoor arenas.

Brilliant to hack and goes out alone and in company, really good in traffic and not phased by bikes, dogs etc.

He also likes jumping and pops small jumps at home. Has been out to a couple of hound exercises just for fun which he thoroughly enjoyed and was impeccably behaved at. Doesn’t get silly or hot up in a group.

Would suit someone looking for a safe confidence giving allrounder to compete in dressage, pony club, go hunting or hacking. He really excels in dressage so it would be fantastic to see him go on to continue his dressage career with someone! Would suit an older rider or child or a para rider with more training.

Good to bath, clip, load, travel, groom, tack up and catch. Up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and vaccinations. Shod in front. No vices, lumps or bumbs.

Very reluctant sale. Please ring for more details, looking for a 5 star home for this perfect pony.

Millie - A lovely-natured pony with a wonderful temperament, she requires little to no working in.

If she stood at 15.2hh, she wouldn’t be going anywhere!

I see her excelling as a home-produced show hunter pony (SHP), and she would be an ideal partner for a nervous or young rider moving up through the ranks.

This is a very reluctant sale, as I bred her myself (by Hollyland Donovan, out of Daffodil).

Unfortunately Millie doesn’t enjoy hacking.

Would be happy to lease Millie to the right home

  • Super brave and keen to learn

Approx. 13hh, piebald, 5 yr old gelding. Owned since 14 months old.

Very sad sale as jockey is too big for him. Walk, trot and canter established in the arena and open spaces. Super jump! Very tidy and brave. Mostly been jumped on the lunge as jockey too big.

Been over xc and sj no problem. Good to hack alone and in company and will lead off another horse. Good with traffic. Good to farrier, vet, load, travel, stand on trailer, bath, groom, clip etc.

Has been to lots of shows. Multiple placings in hand, qualified for TOYS twice, stood Champion at Aldborough and Boroughbridge. He is interested in everything and if he comes across something new he wants to investigate it.

He would enjoy a fun pony club home and is ready to be someone's next superstar!

Phantom of the Opera

7-year-old Traditional Gypsy Cob, 14.2/3hh, TGCA registered.

Jasper is a lovely, easy-going cob with excellent manners and a willing temperament. He is easy to catch, load, clip, farrier trim, and handle in all aspects. He’s up to date with vaccinations, worming, dentist, and farrier, and travels well.

He enjoys low-level showing and has previously been shown successfully. At home he is more than capable of popping a small jump and has further potential. While he was originally brought on as a novice ride, Jasper has progressed beyond that level and now requires a more experienced, confident rider to help him reach his full potential.

Jasper would make a fantastic mother/daughter share or suit a competent teen or small adult rider looking to do a bit of everything. He is best suited to someone who wants to enjoy showing and spending time with a quality, well-schooled cob.

He has been shown last season with good results. Sadly, he is now wasted in our current set-up due to rider not being able to keep up with him both in ability and ambition.

Genuine reason for sale.

Would not suit a nervous or novice rider.

Plenty of pictures and videos available on request.
