6 year old, 13.3hh traditional cob

Up to date with jabs, farriar, dentist

Poppy would suit a capable teenager or small adult, she’s been shown by a competent novice but wouldn’t be a first pony as can get strong. Schooled well, winning every time out then turned away to mature more.

Absolutely loves jumping but is green.

Good to hack alone and in company in the heaviest of traffic, farm machinery and emergency vehicles.

In full time work she is a mother's dream pony but because of her young age she can be very impatient.

Good to clip with a lickit, stands for farriar, to be groomed and bathed but can be fussy bathing her left side.

Fantastic to load but a madam to travel, cannot be travelled in a trailer with a breast bar as she will rear when car is stationary (traffic lights, junctions) fine whilst moving, we have not tried her in a lorry. we travel her cross tied in an open trailer and never had an issue getting to and from shows.

More videos and photos available on request.

Sold from the field as sadly we no longer have time to continue her education. Last shown in-hand 28/09/2025 winning champion

Snowy is a super safe cob now looking for her next home. She would suit someone looking for a second type / pony club / family pony.

She’s done it all - Showjumping / XC / Beach rides / dressage / showing / hunting!

Snowy has competed in a few unaffiliated local shows. Snowy jumps comfortably around 70cm. She takes confidence from her rider when jumping.

We did a bit of showing with her a few years ago and she always placed within the top 5. Will do a lovely dressage test.

Snowy loves to hack! She will hack happily alone and in company and go first or last. Not spooky or silly, good in open spaces. Did her first hunt early this year, really seemed to enjoy it! Has been on beach rides, absolutely loved it!

Snowy has also driven in the past however not something we have ever done with her.

Snowy would suit a 1-1 home where someone can give her their full attention! She can be left weeks without being ridden and get straight back on no problems!

Snowy is perfect around kids. Has been ridden, led, groomed by them, very gentle around them! Perfect around farm dogs.

Doesn’t bite, kick, buck, rear.
Can be funny standing at mounting block, takes a bit of patience - happy to send vids to anyone interested.

Perfect for farrier, bathing, clipping, loading
Very special mare, will make someone very happy!

No riding schools please.

Will live out 24/7 or happy to be stabled.
Has been in mixed herd before no issue.
She does get stressed when left alone.

Up to date with vaccinations, dentist, physio, farrier.

Plenty videos available on request - no time wasters please.

The sweetest and most genuine cob you could wish for! To make someone very happy, a super family cob, happy hacker, would possibly suit riding school. Carrot is a super chap, as wide as he is tall and like riding a comfy small armchair. He loves his hacking alone and in company, hasn’t been at all bothered by any traffic met with us and is very sensible.

He’s not the fastest but not overly bothered if out in company and he gets left behind by his sportier friends! Carrot is working sweetly in the school in all paces and will trot over a little jump, he’s very keen to please, he is still green but obedient to the aids and learning about outlines; he’s naturally very together on the flat , he’s a lovely mover and will with further schooling do a lovely dressage test.

He’s a super model of a traditional cob who moves really well and would do well in show ring (TGCA would be ideal for him) He’s still on the greener side of things but a very simple ride and always tries to please, his brain is wonderful to work with. He has been ridden by a variety of riders with us from confident novice upwards, everyone loves him! He has the most lovely can do attitude and just gets on with whatever you ask of him. With a bit more schooling he will do a very neat dressage test. Whatever he ends up doing he will give a lot of fun.

Carrots lovely temperament continues in and out the stable, he’s excellent to catch, box, clip, bath, feet trim ( barefoot v good feet) and just wants to be your friend.

Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He doesn’t drive yet but would look wonderful in harness and has the right brain to do this job safely.

He has a lot to offer his new owners and we look forward to seeing him make someone really happy.

Triple inhand graded stallion (BSPA / CHAPS / TGCA) ( ridden graded with TGCA and CHAPS)

I’ve owned Cody since he was 6month old he is now 5 he has had a great inhand career with just some results being reserve overall supreme at bsps championships / won burwarton show / won and champion at royal Welsh small holding show and 3rd royal Windsor. He has been professionally broken and had a great start with his ridden education and now being continued in his novice showing season with being at equifest 2025 with great results.

He is good to hack alone or in company good to catch.

He has established 3 paces but is NOT a novice ride and must be confident with stallions.

In the right hands I know he will go all the way but he needs someone that can put the time into him which i currently do not have.

Have loads of photos from 6 months old upwards . Based in Worcestershire

Geoff is a 14.2hh chunky Bay Blagdon gelding, 4 years

We have had Geoff since the start of summer and he was purchased as a project. Sadly a change in my work circumstances force a sale earlier than I would have liked. That being said, he has been broken to ride lightly and is proving to be everything we hoped.

He has a placid, sweet but brave nature and is fabulous to be around. Catch, lead, tie up, muck out round, groom, farrier. He has a lovely nature with other horses too.

Over summer he has worn tack, long reined in the school and on the lane and has been ridden round the school and on the lane. Nothing has been rushed, he has then been turned away for a number of weeks and brought back in. The fact that we brought him in, tacked him straight up and got on for a stroll round the arena and the yard is indicative to the nature of this lovely cob. Easy, unflappable and trainable.

He is young and green so will be sold to a knowledgeable home only, however, he is going to make someone a fabulous cob with size and substance. They don’t make them like this anymore. We can also continue with his education for the short term (should his new owner wish).

Serious enquiries only. He is based near Whalley, Lancashire. He can come with tack by separate negotiation and we can arrange transport nationally.

Geoff is sound, never sick or sorry, no sweetitch, great feet and no sarcoids.

He is open to vet.


Happy hacker/lead rein- first ridden ponies

  • Lovley under Saddle and on the ground
  • Loves people, to be pampered, gentle , sweet
5* home only
Serious enquiries only already hard enough.

Sally is an absolutely stunning 13hh piebald cob mare, 16 years old, and without a doubt one of the most beautiful and sweetest ponies you could ever meet. She truly has a heart of gold and the kindest temperament you could wish for. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her gentle nature and pretty looks.

Sally is a genuine little treasure who loves people, attention, and being pampered. She has the sweetest personality and is a real confidence-giver, making her the perfect “kiddy pony” who will look after her rider. She is kind, forgiving, and sensible both on the ground and under saddle, and would suit a beginner jockey or a small rider wanting a safe, loving pony.

While Sally isn’t the strongest jumper, she has jumped up to 80cm with a few tries; however, she is being sold more as a happy hacker and showing pony, where she really excels. When fit, her maximum as a full course is 60cm. She has been out to showjumping shows, sponsored rides, showing shows, and has even competed at nationals, where she proudly came runner-up. She takes everything in her stride and is a pleasure to take out and about.

Sally absolutely loves hacking and is happy and mannerly, making her ideal for fun rides, Pony Club activities, and family enjoyment. She also has a few adorable party tricks that she really enjoys doing — I would love for these to be continued in her new home as she clearly loves showing them off and engaging with her people.

Sale is through absolutely no fault of her own and is due to lack of space and time. She has sadly been outgrown ability-wise and is currently being wasted, which is not fair on such a special pony. She deserves a loving home where she can be enjoyed, spoiled, and treated as the little star she is.

Sally is a once-in-a-lifetime pony — kind, honest, beautiful, and endlessly sweet. She will make a wonderful best friend and a cherished family pony for her next lucky owner.

  • Gypsy has been lightly backed
Gypsy is a beautiful blagdon cob who has just turned 3 years old. I’ve owned him since he was 6 months old, and he has been an absolute pleasure to have.

He has a lovely, kind temperament and is excellent to handle. Gypsy will happily stand in the stable and be groomed all day by children, making him a genuine, easy pony in every way. He has lovely movement and plenty of presence.

Gypsy has been lightly backed and then turned away, so he is now a blank canvas ready for his next chapter. He is very willing, takes everything in his stride, and shows great potential to excel in riding, showing, or driving.

This is a truly lovely pony who is now ready to go to a new, loving home.

George - Rising 5 years, very smart Irish cob 

He would make a lovely allrounder

He has such a sweet personality and would stand to be pampered all day long! Has been great to catch/farrier/clip/load ect. He rides well in the arena and has been super to hack out alone or in company in traffic ect.

Great mover so would do a lovely dressage test.

He wouldn’t suit a total novice as still needs confidence from his rider, absolutely no badness whatsoever just needs miles. Not a spooky type.

He really is a lovely chap who is ready to be loved and go and see the world!
