Please don’t let her age put you off, she most definitely is wise and judicious beyond her years, 5 years going on 15 years, typical laid back Clydesdale characteristics.

If your looking for a horse that has impeccable manners on the ground and when riding, something that is super safe, calm and not phased by anything, that is extremely low maintenance and can be looked after by a child, a horse with more whoa than go, dare I say it…… a bit of a plod, then look no further.

Jess is a really nice calm considerate girl, who is unbelievably safe. Ideal for beginner riders, or riders who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, she has more woah than go …..a bit of a plod, even tho she is super safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces, with flare and enthusiasm, she is very sensible and can be forward going if your a more experienced rider, not spooky, sharp or silly in anyway, she is responsive to the leg if you can ride, whilst remaining calm and relaxed, she is extremely willing and will do anything you ask, she has 3 nice balanced super steady paces, she will jump a course of small coloured and rustic fences.

Jess participates in our low level showjumping, cross country, In hand, fancy dress & handy pony competitions.
She is a firm favourite with our lead rein classes, special requirement and RDA rides, both ridden and during stable management and therapy sessions.

She is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic horse for anyone to build up their confidence, continue learning to ride and progress on.
Definitely a 1st horse.

Exceptional mare with a heart of gold, she is super loving and affectionate, She has spent the 18 months working in a riding school where she has been ridden by all level riders, from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before up to advanced riders where she participates in our flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he first started her riding school career.

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

She will hack out alone or in company through very heavy traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of wether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on his own, she will not rush, pull, race or try an overtake even on the way home.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble, she has no marish traits, not clingy, she is happy to be stabled and turned out on her own.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot, she is equally happy to be shoed.
She is excellent to catch, load, travel with the farrier, dentist and vet.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler when competing, cross country, showjumping, fun rides and beach rides.

She doesn’t need to be ridden every day she can go without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance.
He has never been lame in the whole time we have had her. No lumps or bumps. No M

  • Lovely Natured
  • Riding School Pony
Dora is a lovely 12.2hh, 5-year-old cob mare with a kind and genuine nature.

She is a responsive ride who works well in the arena, happily walking, trotting and cantering, and is confident over poles. Dora is sensible and straightforward, with no spooky behaviour.

She has been used successfully in a riding school environment with both novice and intermediate riders, proving herself to be reliable and willing. As a young pony, she is still gaining experience and education, but she has never shown any signs of bad behaviour – she has never bucked, reared, bolted or displayed any nastiness.

Dora hacks out confidently both alone and in company and is good to handle on the ground. She stands quietly for grooming, bathing and the farrier.

Due to her responsive nature, Dora would not be suitable for a complete beginner, but she would make an excellent second pony for a rider looking to progress and have fun.

She has no known health issues and is open to any vetting. Viewings are welcome.

14.2hh Daisy

A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine, kind, and experienced 14.2hh mare who truly knows her job. Daisy is the perfect all-rounder and an ideal schoolmistress for someone looking to gain confidence, progress their riding, and enjoy a variety of activities.

Daisy has a lovely temperament both in and out of the stable. She is easy to handle, affectionate, and a pleasure to have on the yard. She is well-mannered and good to catch, shoe, clip, and load.

Safe, sensible, capable, and forgiving, Daisy is a horse that gives her rider confidence. She works beautifully on the flat, is balanced and responsive, and has experience across a range of disciplines. She enjoys her jumping, is honest to a fence, and will happily take a rider around a course with confidence.

One of Daisy’s greatest qualities is her ability to adapt to her rider. She is capable enough to step up for a more experienced rider who wants to enjoy her jumping and make the most of her abilities, yet sensible and genuine enough to step down and look after a less experienced or nervous rider. She is a true confidence-giver who knows when to take care of her rider while still being enjoyable and rewarding for someone wanting to progress.

Daisy hacks alone or in company and is calm and reliable in traffic and open spaces.

She would suit a wide range of riders, from those wanting a confidence-giving partner to anyone looking to enjoy Pony Club, Riding Club activities, lessons, hacking, fun rides, and days out.

This genuine, much-loved mare is looking for her next forever home, where she will continue to be enjoyed, appreciated, and cared for

  • Excellent to hack and open spaces. Suit confident child/teenager or small adult as takes up the leg
Darcy has 3 good balanced paces and a very bold and honest jump. She happily jumps 80cm courses with scope for 90cm . She never spooky and will jump all fillers show jumping and is equally bold cross country over water, ditches, steps etc. Fun and forward, but snaffle mouth. She is excellent to hack alone and in company and never phased by anything; dogs, lorries tractors, hedgecutters etc. Easy to ride and lead and good with other horses.
Darcy has he has been the most fantastic second pony for the last 2 yrs doing all Pony club activities including camps, cross country eventing, fun rides, team chasing, hunting and even pony racing. She has hunted regularly the past 2 seasons with the Ross Harriers and really is the ultimate hunter; forward without being strong or silly and will jump whatever is in front of her.
Darcy is a real character and very intelligent and independent. She will happily stay on her own in the field or stable. She does need time to get to know a new person and can sometimes need a treat to catch. She is fine to clip her body and mane but is sensitive on her legs and head where you need a lot of patience or sedation. . Great to lead shoe, load and travel.
Darcy is a kind and affectionate mare, but is grumpy to have her saddle put on which hasn't changed in 2 yrs so just needs to be tied on a short rope. Has been scoped for ulcers and it was totally clear. She has also had regular physio and has had no injuries or been sick or sorry. Up to date with vaccinations, worming etc Happily lives out and low maintenance.
Very sadly outgrown after 2 great years, Darcy is looking for a knowledgeable new home with a confident child, teenager or small adult to go out and have lots of fun. Not for anyone novice or at all nervous as she is a forward going, lively pony who suits a gutsy rider.

13.1hh 12 year old traditional cob mare.
She is a true leg at each corner.
I am 5ft9 and I am the rider in the photos.

Mya has been with me for two years now. She has been professionally re-started, ridden away and produced by myself for over a year now, so has had a fantastic re-start to her education. She has been produced slowly and correctly and is proving to be a lovely all rounder who is super honest and always tries her very hardest to please you.
Mya is the most gentle and affectionate soul and is a very loyal little mare who will give you her whole heart. She loves a fuss and a cuddle and just spending time with you.
Mya likes to take life in the steady lane! She is snaffle mouthed at all times and has excellent breaks! She can pick up a gear if asked but she never offers it, she is definitely more whoa than go! Although I do think with more fitness she will find that much easier as she is super willing to give anything a go. She’s schooling beautifully in walk and trot and works over poles and will trot over a tiny jump. She quietly pops into canter but is not fit enough yet for lots of canter work or for me to progress her canter work in the school but this certainly will come with more time!

I have started boxing her up and getting her out and about and she is an absolute pleasure away from home, she loads and travels quietly, ties up outside the box happily, stands to be mounted and is very level headed about it all and very much enjoys seeing and trying new things!
She has done two Trec clinic’s, which she absolutely loved and she tackled all the obstacles very boldly! She has also been to a pole clinic and was a superstar.
In her first dressage competition she gave me two lovely tests scoring 65.68% and 2nd place and then 66.14% and 4th place. With lovely comments from the judges on all her sheets. In her second competition she did a super test scoring us 67% and 3rd place and again more lovely comments from a different judge.

She is a very special little lady with such a massive heart and I know when she finds her perfect partner that she will bring so much happiness and love into their life, someone is going to be very lucky to have her in their life. I’m in absolutely no rush and she will only be sold to her perfect partner and forever home, she deserves the very best and in the meantime we will keep going out and enjoying having fun together until that person finds us.

She is up to date with everything, farrier (she is barefoot), fully vaccinated for flu and tetanus, worming and worm counts, teeth and physio.
She is happy to live in or out, she currently comes in for a few hours a day and turned out with two other mares the rest of the time.
She loads and travels well in a box, I have never had her in a trailer but I can’t see her being a bother as she loves to go out in the box.
She has a passport and microchip.

Homes will be vetted, I am looking for a forever home only please.

No novices please, as much as she is a very straightforward pony to work with and handle I would prefer her to find an experienced home who will give her the very best care.
Absolutely no dealers, no time wasters, no day dreamers, no novices, no joy riders, no riding schools, no loans and no payment plans.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

If you go to Spring House Farm stud’s Facebook and TikTok you will find posts/photos/videos of her.
If you think she sounds like what you are searching for please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Messages ONLY please, my phone signal is terrible so calls are hard to hear and I don’t pick up unknown numbers.

13.1hh cob gelding.

Because of age he needs a more experienced rider.

Very Sad sale, both my daughters have now out grown him, this pony LOVES to go fast, he loves nothing more than hacking and galloping through fields!

Last summer he started hacking out alone but does need a confident rider to do this. Hacking in company he will go first or last. Has seen all traffic lorries, tractors, motorbikes, has hacked past sheep, cows other horses. He does sometimes need a little time to process things that aren't usually there, but once he has will move forward I think taking confidence from his rider and put this down to age. Proven to be safe in open fields.

Schooling isn't his favourite and I feel with the right home and consistency this would improve."Can occasionally put in a buck when fresh or if work has been inconsistent, therefore suited to a confident rider."

Very low mileage and has only just started to jumping , he absolutely loves to jump. I would be so happy if his new person could continue this journey with him!!
Good doer. Bare foot.
Upto date with wormer and teeth.
In summer lives out happily, used to being stabled at night over winter.
Due to being on individual turn out/diy livery he does like to have another horse for company and will get upset if turned out alone.
No health issues or vices.
Easy to catch he comes to you!

Ideal home would be with a keen and capable young rider wanting to jump and have fun with.
13.1hh but wide and chunky enough to carry a 5'5 rider.
Not suitable as a 1st pony as can be sharpe at times.


Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder To Enjoy Hacking, Pleasure Rides, & Low Level Adventures

  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh Max. Age 8-14 yrs
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type

I am searching 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 (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack 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 & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). 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.

Living out 24/7 on sparse grazing, Rose is a perfect match for other good doers who also need restricted grass. Rose can live with both mares and geldings, and could adapt to part stabling with a steady routine.

Rose can be a little unsure at times, especially when settling in, but with a quiet home and a calm, confident handler she will truly flourish. She absolutely loves a good groom and will soak up every bit of fuss and affection.

Meet Stitch, a sweet-natured cob who is looking for a kind, experienced home where he can continue to grow in confidence and enjoy life as a companion pony. Having come into our care from a private owner, Stitch is now settling into a new routine and currently lives out happily 24/7 with other geldings, where he enjoys the reassurance of herd life.

Stitch is a gentle pony who enjoys building connections with people and thrives with calm, patient handling. While he can initially feel unsure in unfamiliar situations, he is making lovely progress and is becoming more confident with everyday interaction and handling. Once he feels comfortable, Stitch shows a kind and affectionate side and enjoys spending time with those he trusts.

He is continuing to build confidence with new experiences, including routine care such as vet and farrier visits, and responds well to positive reinforcement and steady guidance. Stitch benefits from consistency, reassurance, and handlers who are happy to work at his pace and celebrate the small wins along the way.

Stitch would thrive in a quiet, understanding home with experienced and confident carers who can offer him a relaxed, routine-based lifestyle with plenty of turnout and equine companionship. With time, patience, and kindness, Stitch has all the potential to become a deeply rewarding companion and form a wonderful bond with his future home.

Currently living out in a herd of both mares and geldings, she is used to a social environment and enjoys the company of other horses. Sally has recently begun learning to spend more time in a stable, and while she can be a little unsure at times, she is gradually settling into new routines.

In her handling, Sally is proving to be a sweet and genuine youngster. She is good to catch and will happily let you approach and put on her headcollar. She enjoys being groomed and handled, though like many young horses, she can fidget slightly and is still working on her balance, especially when picking up her feet. She is at the early stages of her education, so she will benefit from a patient and consistent handler who can continue building her confidence and basic groundwork skills.

Sally would make a lovely unbacked project for someone looking to bring on a young pony and develop a strong bond from the start. Due to her age and level of training, she will need an experienced home that can guide her through her next stages of learning. With time, patience, and the right support, Sally has all the potential to grow into a well-rounded and rewarding pony.

Cheerio is searching for a knowledgeable, compassionate home that can see her potential and is excited to help her grow into it. With her rescue history, she will need someone who understands the importance of taking things slowly, building trust, and giving her the steady foundations she may not have previously had. A calm, consistent environment where she can feel safe and understood will allow her confidence to continue to blossom.

She is a lovely future project for someone experienced and patient, with the skills to produce a young horse thoughtfully and correctly. She has the potential to mature to approximately 14.2hh, making her a versatile prospect for a range of disciplines in the future. For now, her focus should be on groundwork, handling, and positive early education to ensure she develops into a well-balanced and willing partner.

Cheerio will benefit from ongoing, kind training that prioritises correct basics - leading, standing, vet and farrier visits, loading, and gradually introducing new experiences in a positive way. As she progresses, she may go on to be ridden, but she will need someone committed to setting her up properly from the start. With time, patience, and thoughtful education, Cheerio has every chance to mature into a rewarding and capable companion for the right person.
