  • A friendly, kind and easy to handle pony who loves people and other horses
  • Would suit a loving family home where he will be treated as a valued member of the family.

Banjo is a friendly, kind and easy to handle pony who loves people and other horses. He is a real yard favourite and a genuine, affectionate pony who is a pleasure to have around. He is straightforward to handle and enjoys attention, making him a lovely character for someone looking to build a strong partnership.

Banjo has already enjoyed a variety of experiences, including hacking alone and in company, attending numerous in-hand shows, completing his first dressage test and achieving a score of 65%, and beginning to pop small jumps. He has made a positive start to his education and has shown a willing attitude towards new experiences. As he is still only 5 years old, he is continuing to develop and would benefit from an experienced home that can build on his foundations and progress his education steadily and sympathetically.

Banjo is good to catch, load, travel and clip, and he is good for the vet. He is happy around other horses and enjoys their company. He is up to date with his vaccinations, farrier care and worming, and has no current health problems. He is also economical to keep.

Banjo would suit a loving family home where he will be treated as a valued member of the family. He is easy for anyone to handle, but because of his age and ongoing education, his new home should have the experience and support needed to continue bringing him on. He has the potential to enjoy a range of activities and would suit someone who wants to develop a young pony while giving him time to mature and gain experience.

This is a very sad sale. Banjo is very much loved, but we no longer have the space or time to give him everything he deserves. He is being sold through no fault of his own, and finding the right home is more important to us than a quick sale.

We would love to find Banjo a caring, knowledgeable home where he will be loved, enjoyed and given the opportunity to continue developing.

Serious enquiries are welcome

  • A very sad sale of our much-loved Eddie, only available because my daughter is ready to step up.

Eddie has been the best buy for my daughter. He has taught her so much, built her confidence and given her wonderful memories. He is a safe, confidence-giving pony with so much to teach his next child, both in the saddle and through everyday pony care.

He has enjoyed Pony Camp, cross country, fun rides and beach rides, and has consistently placed highly in every class we’ve entered, whether showing, working hunter or show jumping. He has also placed highly at county show level.

A fantastic all-rounder for a child wanting to enjoy everything Pony Club has to offer, with the quality to be competitive in the show ring too.

Eddie loves jumping and works nicely in a contact with a capable rider. At his recent cross-country clinic, he was a saint and looked after my daughter every step of the way. With quality breeding and plenty of potential, he could take a capable child far.

He loads straight away and is easy to catch, shoe and groom.

Finding the right, loving home is very important to us. We have facilities available for viewing, and my daughter will ride him first. References available.

📍 South Wales

Please get in contact - 07970215347

He has been everything we hoped for in a pony now it’s another child’s turn to learn, have fun and make memories with him.

  • Fun to hack
  • Second pony

Duffy is a genuine, kind, well-bred pure Connie. Schooled to a very good level, she works in an outline in all paces and executes lateral movements well.

She is a wonderful school mistress, however would not suit a novice rider or first ridden as she is forward going and needs a fairly strong leg on her, but has good brakes.

She has spent the last year with a novice 11yo girl who has come to the sad decision that she isn’t able to offer Duffy the life she needs due to her own (owner not pony) nervousness.

Therefore over the last few months we have taken Duffy on with a view to selling her when the family felt ready to.

Duffy is predominantly being sold as a school mistress for dressage, showing and a fun hacker. She has a lot to offer a teenager or an adult looking to do riding club, or pony club with a focus on dressage and showing competitions.

She jumps well at home schooling happily up to 1m, proving to be quite careful, she will be a lot of fun going to clinics and training rather then out competing show jumping. (With her previous owner she had a few bad rounds and has lost confidence in the ring).

Duffy schools beautifully with me. She hacks out alone or with company, first or last. I have taken her to a few shows with my daughter on her, including NSEA dressage in September where she came 5th.

Duffy has previously hunted and team chased.

She is a fun pony able to do everything and nice and straightforward, perfect for someone wanting to have a kind, genuine second pony .

She is easy to have on the yard and is good on the ground, easy to clip and shoe.

Duffy will come with full wardrobe.

Based in Surrey.

  • NSEA / Pony Club / Activities: Impeccable behavior at clinics, rallies, and fun rides and the beach
  • Hacking: Brilliant in traffic, open spaces, and hacks out well alone or in company.

A fantastic, true all-rounder pony with lots of experience. She is a reliable, forward (with brakes) fun type who knows her job inside out.

Easy to ride and handle on the ground, loves fuss and attention. Good to shoe, box, clip, and catch. Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, and worming.

Incredibly easy to travel. She loads happily, stands quietly on a trailer or lorry, and will happily stand ringside without a fuss.

Genuine all-rounder pony that never says no.

This is a heartbreaking sale of a much-loved pony sadly outgrown. She will suit a confident child or small teenager looking to have fun.

Bridle and rugs included. Saddle available by separate negotiation.

Please try texting or calling again if you've and no response from me - phone screen and speaker broke. Fixed now. But she's still available as a result.

If you’re looking for a friend to join your family to really enjoy your riding, you may have found her.

She is a full up solid 14.2, happily carries an adult yet is well behaved for children too.

She really does ‘have the T shirt’ have been in her current family home for the last 3 years. She has introduced a novice teenager to hunting, low level shows including showing, showjumping etc.

She has also been driven in her younger years by her elderly farmer owner, and in fact did have a little refresher 3 years ago and had not forgotten a thing! She is a pleasure to drive to, light in the rein, and very easy and straightforward.

Whilst she’s not a sporty athletic cob, she does enjoy being ridden and always has a smile on her face and happy ears! She jumps small courses, but if you’re looking to jump more than 60cm and race against the clock she’s probably not for you.

She is reasonably forward going, but still steady if that makes sense?! She doesn’t rush off but she has active paces whilst always being comfortable. You can do sitting trot and enjoy cantering without her pulling, bunking you around or generally needing too much ‘riding’

She is happy to go in an arena and works politely in all three paces BUT please remember she has been the horse that has taught people and given them confidence, so she’s no dressage diva! She would do an accurate prelim test if that was your thing, but if you want to be on Team GB by Christmas, again, she’s probably not your match.

She’s ace on beach rides and fun rides, patiently waits if you need to scoop up kids, canters in front of behind, or walks, very nicely if you’ve had enough, have a stitch and quite frankly just want to see the lorry park again.

She’s got character, loves her hoomans and really is a type of special friend that is very difficult to find.

She’s good with all the usual things traffic, farrier, travelling etc etc

She’s up to date with vaccinations, worming, shoeing, and is open to vet.

Please text if I do not answer the phone and I’ll call back.

She will have her comfy tack and rugs to go with her and I’m happy to deliver her to her new family within reason.

This is a very sad and quite difficult sale. She can be seen with a friend so that you have access to an arena and better hacking. You can speak to owner, friend she’s living with and even her home before if you feel the need to.

She really is very special.
