Ruby
Hampshire
It’s with a very heavy heart that we look for Ruby’s new home

Ruby is currently ridden by children of all ages and abilities (owned by 11 year old) and all off lead. However, we feel Ruby would be best suited as a lead rein or 1.5/2nd pony to reach her full potential. Ruby is one in a million. Happy to be dressed up, painted, plaited and will stand there all day long to be pampered, she is a regular at pony club rallies and attended pony club camp this year. She has been to arena hires, XC, the gallops and competed in local shows proving to do very well in the dressage arena.

Ruby is well schooled and has started her lateral work with a competent jockey but she is still young and so would need to continue her education. She hacks out alone and in company. Not fazed by any traffic/farm machinery, she is confident out on the open forest with ponies, cows deer and pigs roaming around. She absolutely loves a good gallop across the forest if you ask. But will adjust to rider, so if you want a steady walk and trot she is just as happy.

Ruby is one of the most versatile little cobs out there.. with her eye catching looks and powerful compact short backed conformation she is a serious show ring pony and would suit a showing/ dressage home if you really want results. She is happy to pop a small course and really loves a jump out on the forest!

Honest notes:
*After coming to us with bad mallenders, which is all cleared up with no further flare ups, she is sensitive around her legs and needs an understanding farrier (she is unshod). However she is good as gold to have her feet picked out daily and washed for shows.
*If ridden in the school by a complete beginner she will be lazy and yet will be forward off the leg for a confident jockey..
*Ruby travels like a dream in a trailer or 7.5t but didn’t enjoy travelling backwards in a 3.5t the once we tried, however as she travels so well normally we expect it to get better with practice.

Only a loving, capable home for this young wonder pony

  • Top class and will go all way in the right hands

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

Tinkerbelle
14hh 10yr old Skewbald mare.

Tinkerbelle was brought home in 2020 to be a fun family cob, but it quickly became clear she was so much more than that! Within just a few weeks, her willing attitude, love of learning, and naturally flashy movement began to shine through.

Since then, Tinkerbell has gone from strength to strength — Placed at multiple British dressage competitions, including BD Youth inter regionals, Second at Inter-Counties and Won Quest semi final Novice. As well as representing teams with pride, and proving herself both talented and versatile.

She’s also enjoyed plenty of jumping and fun rides, where she shows her bold, confident nature and her ability to really carry herself.

Shelby Iceman
TGCA Registered Sabino cob
Show quality
Currently measured at just under 13hh but he is still slightly bum high.

Ice is an absolutely stunning White Sabino 6 year old cob gelding. He is absolutely dripping in mane and feather with some really striking movement. We do feel he will go far in the showing world.

He is super sweet and quiet in every way. Excellent to catch, lead, tie up, for the farrier, and loads without fuss. He is handled by both children and adults daily.

Ice was backed last year and his education has been taken nice and slowly. He has been used as a lead rein pony over the summer and is a really sensible type. He is now hacking out alone and in company off the lead rein, He has passed all traffic, cars, bikes, tractors and does not bat an eyelid.

He shows a kind, willing, and sensible attitude and is now ready for someone to put there stamp on him and progress him further.

Ice is TGCA registered, fully vaccinated and up to date with worming and the farrier.

He currently lives out in a mixed herd but is happy to come in too.

He is a real chunky sort who we do feel would make a perfect lead rein pony, mother daughter share or a small adult/teenage to bring him and continue his education.

Lovely approx 13,2 4 year mare looking for her new home. Not for a complete novice as still young and a nice forward ride.

Been to beach rides and went on her first hunt today and behaved impeccablly. She Stood well and was happy to hang to the back of the ride, pop over some of the logs/jumps or canter up ahead amoungst the fun.

Has 3 great forward paces and is easy of the leg. Works in a nice shape.

Could potential be a great show pony.

She hacks out alone and in company. And isn’t fazed by traffic. Loads and stands on the lorry well.

Was clipped for the first time and stood great getting held by my 3 year old niece.

Is great to handle and stables well.

Has been hacked out by a 3&5 year old rein and also ridden by an older lady who hasn’t ridden in 20 years.

Could easily excel in a pony club home, in a showing home, be a nice mother daughter share happy hacker or equally a keen hunter for someone to go out and have fun on.

SHSE WHISPERING ANGEL

I am offering my beautiful native coloured yearling filly, due to a drastic change in personal circumstances. I never wanted to part with this filly, she really is one in a million.

Her siblings are HOYS ponies, and she’s pure quality. No expense has been spared on her introduction to the showing world. She even spent a few weeks with a professional team bringing her on in the ring. She has competed at Royal Windsor, County/Agri shows, BSPA, CHAPS and Equifest. She wipes the floor locally with many wins/champions.

Considering she has competed with more mature horses and many types, she always walks away in the ribbons.

She is good to load and travel/catch/lead/stable etc. and everyone who meets her falls in love. She is a firecracker and does have personality - so isn’t for a novice - but it’s what gives her that real movement and spark in the ring and she goes in there knowing she’s going to be great.

She will make full up 14.2. Vetted when I got her at 6 months direct from breeder.

Always been fed well and up to date with worming and trims.

I have lots of photos and videos.

Definitely one for an ambitious individual or show team to bring on over the years and I’d love to follow her journey.

Storm – The Ultimate Child’s Pony & Family Treasure (13hh, Rising 6) ??

Storm is one in a million — a kind, patient, and trustworthy little mare who has safely taught children aged 4 to 10 to ride. She’s been nothing short of amazing with them, giving confidence to complete beginners and helping them learn the ropes in the kindest way possible.

She’s a little green only because she’s mainly been used for novice riders, but when ridden by someone with more experience, she steps up beautifully and shows real potential. Storm is honest, eager to please, and loves to be around people — the kind you trust without hesitation.

13hh | Rising 6 | Mare

Excellent with children – patient, forgiving, and gentle
Hacks alone or in company
Loads and travels easily
Good to catch, shoe, and handle
Pops a small jump and enjoys her work

Plenty of lovely footage available of her teaching young children — she truly is worth her weight in gold for the confidence and joy she gives them.

Storm would suit a family, teen, or small adult looking for a safe, genuine pony to bring on and love.

A rare find — safe, talented, and full of heart. She deserves only the very best home.
