I SPY

Unfortunately the time has come to find my little nemo a new home. It’s time for him to go out and show the world what he’s made of and have some fun with a child. He’s currently out of work, wouldn’t take much to get him back into work at all - my youngster has just been broken in and taking up all my time hence the sale, just lack of him which he deserves.
Nemo is a 12.2 piebald, 8 year old cob.

Over the years we have had so much fun together and done everything including:
- Hacking (alone/company/front/behind)
- Showjumping
- Cross country (competition/schooling)
- Beach ride
- Sponsored rides
- Natural horsemanship camp (groundwork)
- Pony camp
- Pole work
- Long reining
- Showing (in hand/ridden)
- Gridwork
- Lunging/double lunging
- Free schooling/jumping
- Pub hacks
- Hacking with a bike
- Dressage
I have documented his whole journey on my Facebook page under the album ‘Nemo’ where there is hundreds of photos and videos. References available.

He’s been ridden by all ages, and is happy to go on/off lead rein when needed. With incredible manners on the ground. He is also happy to ride and lead. Absolutely bomb proof in all traffic, happy to lead past the biggest of traffic.
Nemo is also an angel to travel, trailer or lorry… load first or last.

Nemo has mane and feather to die for… placing first in best coloured and qualifying for hickstead. He’s a real quality stamp of cob with some lovely comments from showing professionals. He has recently had his mane chopped for maintenance during the winter. He can be a little unsure about his feathers being brushed out and can fidget but with a second pair of hands of someone holding him telling him he’ll be okay he stands.

Schooling/in the school he is established in walk and trot but the canter is green, due to his age I haven’t pushed or rushed him in the school but it wouldn’t be hard to get the canter going more due to being a quick learner and always wanting to please - he’s more than happy to canter following someone out hacking.

He previously spent 2 summers on livery with me where I work where he had so much fun. We spent hours hacking over 100 acres of land alone and in company, bareback in the summer and is perfect in open spaces.

Stables beautifully, super clean in the stable and manners to die for in/out the stable. Comes in alone and won’t make a fuss, happy to lead with another horse no matter the size, or in a 3.
He also completed summer camp with a couple of little girls where he did all activities with them.

Nemo has had the winters off with me, due to wanted him to mature correctly and spend time just being a young pony. This has done him the world of good. Has come back into work each time after time off like he never had time off.

He’s been clipped twice with me which he was great about, one bib clip and one full body out apart from legs - couldn’t part with his feathers! he was super!

Nemo does have fleshy mouth which is soothed with the correct bit (peewee bit) and gentle hands while riding. He has two wolf teeth which he hasn’t had removed has as not causing any problems.
He is dominant in the field, would suit individual turnout or with another pony who will stick up for themselves.
He wears a nose net to help with the pollen, more so in the summer but I have kept it on all year round and it has helped his nose flick.

More than happy to answer any questions anyone has, I can’t stress enough how wicked this little pony is, and is he was bigger he wouldn’t be going anywhere. I want the best for him and that means letting him go.
Looking for a 5* home and all potentially buyers will be asked for references.
Many photos/videos available! Based 10mins from Gatwick.
Can come with bridle which already has his peewee bit on and his rugs at extra.

Piebald traditional mini cob two year old filly to make 12.1hh+

She is the most adorable little lady who loves a fuss and a cuddle. She would make a fabulous companion and ridden pony once old enough.

She has been halter trained since 1 month old, so she leads, catches, ties up politely. She stands quietly for the farrier, picks her feet up and would stand all day to be groomed and fussed. She is well mannered and has been handled daily since born.

She currently stands at around 11hh, I expect her to make 12.1hh potentially a little more. Her Mum can be seen and she stands at about 13.1hh.

She happily turns out with filly’s and geldings and gets along with everyone that I have put her with. She is happy to live in or out, she is also happy to be first or last to come in or out and waits quietly for her turn with no fuss. She comes to call and is a lovely little person to be around and will be sorely missed.

She is very correct for a traditional cob and has a great amount of mane, tail and feather. She is very striking with two blue eyes and so much presence, she is going to grow in to some horse!

She has a Passport and microchip and is vaccinated for flu and tetanus. She is up to date with the farrier and has been trimmed by the farrier every 6 weeks since she was 6 weeks old. She is up to date with worming and has been wormed in accordance with the current veterinary advice for worming foals and youngsters since she was born.

I am looking for a forever home only please, homes will be vetted.
No time wasters, no dealers, no novices, no loans and no payment plans. She will not be sold unseen.

I have tons of photos and videos so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Serious enquiries only.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

Messages ONLY please, I have terrible phone signal so calls are difficult to hear.

Rupert is a kind and genuine young traditional cob with a lovely attitude and plenty of potential for the right home.

Rupert has been to a show and arena hires. He gives a nice , balanced ride in all three paces and always tries his best. With his quality and presence, he could have a promising future in the show ring, and he also shows potential for dressage or a variety of other disciplines — he is the sort who could turn his hoof to most things.

He has a kind temperament and is a pleasure to have around. We feel he would be best suited to a competent small adult or an experienced teenager rather than a novice , and we are keen for him to go to a knowledgeable home where he can continue to progress and be successful.

Rupert is:
• Good to clip, trim and load
• Travels well
• Happy to live in or out
• Good for farrier and dentist
• Up to date with physio, vaccinations, and teeth.

This is a genuine and sad sale. Rupert is now ready to move on to a home where he can have a job to do and make his next person very happy.

Blue Cross Perky


Ref #: 405149
  • Future project pony
  • Lives out 24/7
  • Rewarding to train
£400
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 2 years
  • 11.1 hands
  • Future project pony
  • Lives out 24/7
  • Rewarding to train

- Based at a foster yard in Leicestershire -

Perky is a lovely young cob mare with a bright personality and plenty of potential. She is still at the very beginning of her journey and is looking for a home that can continue her education and help her grow in confidence. Currently living out in a herd of both mares and geldings, Perky is used to a social lifestyle and enjoys being around other horses. She is also beginning to learn about spending more time stabled, although she can still feel a little unsettled as she adjusts to new routines.

In her day-to-day handling, Perky is a sweet and approachable youngster. She is easy to catch and will happily let you walk straight up to her and put on a headcollar. She is good to groom and generally enjoys interaction, although she can be a little fidgety as you would expect for her age. When picking up her feet, she tries well but can be unbalanced, so she benefits from a calm and patient handler. She has started learning to lead but can feel unsure in new environments and may occasionally stop, so she will need ongoing guidance to build her confidence and consistency.

Perky would make a rewarding unbacked project for an experienced home looking to bring on a young pony. She will need a knowledgeable and patient adopter who can continue her groundwork and support her through new experiences. With time, reassurance, and consistent handling, Perky has all the makings of a kind and capable pony who will form a strong bond with her new owner.

  • Mare
  • 3 years
  • 11.2 hands
  • Future project pony
  • Lives out 24/7
  • Excellent companion to other youngsters

- Based at a foster yard in Leicestershire -

Jazz is a rising 3-year-old cob mare who is now ready to begin the search for her new home. She arrived to us as a transfer from the RSPCA and has been settling well into her routine while gradually building confidence.

She is a sweet-natured young pony, but she can be nervous at times, particularly in new situations, and will need a confident, calm, and sympathetic handler who can offer steady guidance and help her continue to develop trust. Jazz has already made good progress with her basic handling, yet she remains a young pony who will benefit from consistent, patient training.

Jazz would make a rewarding future project pony for someone experienced with youngsters, or she would be equally well suited as a lovely companion, especially for other young horses. She has been living happily in a mixed herd and enjoys the company of other equines.

She can live out or be part-stabled, provided she has appropriate companionship and a routine that supports her ongoing confidence building.

Jazz is a gentle soul with plenty of potential, and she is looking for a home that can offer her reassurance, structure, and the opportunity to continue growing into a confident, well-rounded pony.

£800
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Lightly backed project pony
  • Easy to handle
  • Lives in a gelding herd

- Based at our Burford centre -

Memphis is a handsome 5-year-old gelding seeking a knowledgeable home where he can thrive and enjoy the company of other playful geldings.

As Memphis was castrated later in life, having the right environment is key to his success. With the appropriate yard set-up, he can happily live within a gelding herd and, in time, be around mares in a yard environment. He is currently turned out with a herd of geldings. He would suit a secure, well-fenced environment where he can feel settled, confident, and at ease.

Memphis is easy to catch, enjoys being groomed, and stands politely for his feet to be picked out. He has been well-mannered for both the vet and farrier, making him straightforward and pleasant to handle as part of daily routine care.

With consistent, sympathetic handling, Memphis is ready to restart his backing and ridden education. He has lovely potential as a future ridden project and could also make a super lead rein prospect. Lightly backed last summer and currently enjoying some time off, he is a fantastic blank canvas for someone who would enjoy producing a young horse and building a rewarding partnership from the ground up.

In a calm, experienced home, Memphis will truly flourish as his confidence continues to grow.

Honey Boo (Honey Bee Ghost) is a chunky 13.2/3hh rising 6yo Connemara X Cob who loves her job! She has been an absolute pleasure to start her ridden career recently and is very confident and willing. Honey is a fast learner and loves to give things a go, she has been brilliant with traffic, big lorrys, motorbikes, dogs etc. from the start and is good as gold to hack both alone and in company. She was out cantering round the farm field without a care in the world within her first week under saddle!

Honey has a brilliant jump on her and has proven very bold and scopey. She has popped round a course of jumps with water tray and fillers and has never said no! Honey is definitely a more go than woah type of horse so wouldn’t suit someone wanting a kick along pony, she is still green but I would class her as very straightforwards and has taken everything in her stride - she has never bucked, reared, kicked, bitten, bolted etc. due to her age she wouldn’t be suitable for a novice yet, however she would be the most perfect pony club pony to move up the levels competing or just to have fun with a good kid, teen or small adult! Honey is every parent & kids dream pony - I just need a magic potion to grow her an extra 3 hands for myself!! I am confident that first to view will buy so don’t wait around to message!

Custom ‘Honey Boo’ leather headcollar included

Open to viewings & vettings (located NN12) but unfortunately no loans or trials etc.

Outstanding SD Cob Gelding – Exceptional Quality, Temperament & Future Show Prospect

Exceptionally kind, genuine SD Cob gelding with quality, presence and temperament in abundance.
He is a true credit to the SD Cobs a world renowned, highly respected name within the traditional cob world, known internationally for producing outstanding quality cobs.

Rising 4 years old, currently standing approx 11.2–11.3hh, TGCA passported, fully up to date with vaccinations, dentist, farrier, worming.

This boy has been lightly backed and has taken everything like a duck to water. He is happy in full tack, has had jockeys on board, and is proving to be extremely genuine and willing. He is still green as expected for his age and stage, currently working on his brakes and steering, but always tries his best and gives a lovely, safe feel.

He is a genuine blank canvas for someone to continue producing and put their own stamp on.

Temperament wise, he is quite simply one of the sweetest, kindest ponies you could wish to meet. Nothing phases him in any way, shape or form and he absolutely thrives on attention.

He is:
• Excellent to clip (including full clip)
• Happy with hairdryer / pet dryer
• Good to bath, spray, groom and rug
• Easy for the farrier (can be a little snatchy behind, improving with consistency)
• Good to load and travel
• Sensible with traffic, farm animals and other horses
• Respects electric fencing
• Fantastic around children

He genuinely tries his heart out and has the most loving, people-oriented nature.

With his quality, movement and attitude, he would make an outstanding future lead rein or first ridden pony and has all the attributes to excel in the show ring. In the right hands, this pony will go far.

He is a lovely, correct type who will continue to strengthen and develop with further work and sympathetic production.

This is a pony who deserves to be adored and truly loved.

The only reason he is available is that he is unlikely to make the height originally hoped for. Absolutely no fault whatsoever and not a small enough jockey to continue his education. He is loved and adored by every member of the family but deserves his little person

He will come with:
• 3 turnout rugs
• 2 stable rugs
• Saddle and bridle

£2,250 ono
Serious, knowledgeable homes only preferred

A very special pony with a first-class temperament and outstanding SD Cob breeding. Finding the right home is far more important than a quick sale
