Beautiful Piebald Cob Mare

Beautiful Piebald Cob Mare

  • Beautifully marked
  • Dreamy mane

For sale or potential loan - I am very sad to have to offer our beautiful pony, Kiwi, for sale (or potential loan). This is through no fault of her own.

We purchased Kiwi for my daughter, and unfortunately, I just don't have the time to give, to help her reach her full potential. She is a 1.5/2nd pony.

Kiwi has been with us since September 2024 and is a beautifully marked piebald, cob, with full feathers and a dreamy long mane. She stands at around 12.2 and is about 7 years old (passported but no year stated - aged by dentist).

All vaccines, farrier, dentist and worming up to date.

Kiwi loves a hack – she is not a spooky pony and is great in traffic. She loves to pop a jump and is more go then woah.

She lives off fresh air. Is barefoot. Lives in or out. Good to catch and loads amazingly alone or in company.

Fantastic for the farrier and dentist. She is very easy to keep.

We currently have Kiwi with our 23 year old gelding with no problems.

Would suit a more confident child as she is a 2nd, but very safe. Has never bucked or reared.

Please, no time wasters. More videos and photos can be sent.

14 year old owners words; Freddie has been with me for over 3 years, I bought him as a 5 year old with not much experience. He was not handled at all in his first home and was given to my yard as a rescue, I fell in love with him and I bought him as my first pony.

I have explored jumping and he has found love for it and has so much potential. He has jumped 80 cm with a rider and can go up to 1m free schooling with much potential to go higher. He is great to groom, tack up and to be handled overall.

This is a very sad sale and has been put off for a while but I am growing out of him and feel that I need to move on. He is such a sweet and genuine pony and definitely knows how to have fun. I want him to go to the best home with an experienced rider that can have a great time with him.

It has mostly been me riding him, however other people have ridden him at times and he has been amazing. He loves to be ridden and exercised frequently but he can go a week without being ridden and will be totally fine when you get back to work. Freddie has his mishaps but will never cause any harm he just has a very busy brain and can be spooky sometimes.

He is out overnight in summer and in overnight in winter and is fine to catch. Our yard is a very busy yard with lots of horses in his field and many people around. He is great to hack and loves to have a canter! He doesn't have shoes and is trimmed by the farrier. I have never had any sort of medical issues at all with Freddie.

I haven't done much loading with him but with practice and patience hopefully he will happily load. He has little experience of loading.

I'm very sad to sell my first pony and I want the best home for him. He needs someone with patience and is and experienced rider for a forward young minded pony.

For sale : British Warmblood - Liver Chestnut - Mare - 16 Years Old - 15.1hh
Washington Minx is a stunning and much-loved British Sports Horse who has been with us for four years. Sadly, she is now seeking a new home as I head off to University.

"Minx" is a brilliant all-rounder - talented in dressage; show jumping and cross-country. She has a kind nature, a super attitude to work, and offers three balanced, confident paces with plenty of scope. She has competed at BE in previous homes and has enjoyed plenty of success and red rosettes with us in Pony Club (qualifying for national dressage championships) and unaffiliated competitions — currently jumping 80cm to 1m. This year we have not done as much as I would have liked with A-levels.

Minx loves her jumping, is naturally forward-going, and carries herself to a fence. While she is safe and sensible and helps her jockey out, she is not a novice ride and would only suit a confident but quiet rider. She excels in a jump off. She is patient and well-mannered when out at shows. With PC activities she is happy to wait her turn and often goes last without fuss. She hacks alone or in company, is excellent in traffic, and is sensible in open spaces — happy to lead or follow.

On the ground, she’s affectionate and easy to handle, as long as she isn’t rushed. She has travelled in both trailer and lorry, currently lives out all year and turns out with mares or geldings but has been stabled previously.

Minx would be an ideal match for a confident and patient teenager or small adult looking for a fun, competitive partner who’s safe, experienced, and still has many years of enjoyment to give.

Loving home offered with a varied and fun life for the horse with lots of hacking on sandy tracks, pub rides, groundwork and weekly lessons. I am an equine massage therapist in my spare time so lots of care will be provided! I have some great instructors to help both ridden work and groundwork.

My perfect partner would be:

-Been there and done that type
- I enjoy schooling so something with established basics would be great for low level dressage and training clinics

Lovely airy stable waiting with a window and all year turnout plus 24/7 turnout in the summer. Very happy to keep in touch with regular updates. We have had our retired pony (now 32) for over 20 years now and still keep in touch with his previous owner.

If you have something suitable I look forward to hearing from you.

Oreo, is the perfect horse/pony. He is enjoyable to have at home; easy to box, shoe, clip, and catch. He hacks brilliantly in or out of traffic with or without company .

A 5* home is a priority, as he is dearly loved. We were not horsey parents; our daughters had to learn everything from scratch, ask friends, and learn on the job. Oreo has taught them horse husbandry and how to ride dressage, show jump, and cross country. Sadly, our younger daughter has lost interest, and we need to find him the perfect home.

Oreo loved to hunt with the Hampshire Hunt and the South Downs bloodhounds.

Although low mileage, he has been with us for 5 years and enjoys competing at Pony Club Level and was a superstar at pony club camp and rallies. He successfully competed at Prelim level dressage, often scoring late 70% even 80%. Also placed first in various show jumping and cross-country events at 70-80cm.

As a family, we decided to move to Spain in July last year, we took Oreo with us and quickly realised it was a very different environment to have horses. Sadly, our daughter lost interest and so we made a very difficult decision to return him to the UK in the hands of our dear friend, Claire who is finding the right home for him. He has settled in remarkably well, is relaxed and now ready to find his new family and home.

He is available to vet, and will come with tack and accessories.

15hh cob x palomino mare

Very chilled laid back lady with a heart of gold. Calm kind and sensible

Heaps of talent and scope. Fabulous allrounder

Barbs — an absolute stunner with beautifully balanced conformation and a kind, genuine nature. She’s a super smart, eye-catching horse who would make a versatile partner for a variety of pursuits.

Barbie is a fun, honest, and sensible allrounder who truly loves to work. Not a kick-along plod, but forward-thinking and eager to please, she’s currently excelling in Pony Club type activities and clinics alongside a relatively inexperienced 14-year-old rider giving her endless confidence and big smiles . Her willing attitude and good temperament make her ideal for a rider looking to develop confidence and skill.

Absolutely fantastic jump, effortlessly popping around XC tracks at 90cm and happily skipping over 1m showjumping courses — with plenty of scope for more. She is honest, reliable, and straightforward to ride, whether in the school or out hacking in open spaces she’s always in a snaffle. She could affiliate lower levels bs or do grassroots too!

Barbie has competed in unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, hunter trials, pony days, and hunts. Barbie is a sturdy, sweet-natured type with athletic ability, she may be better suited to a slightly more experienced rider rather than a complete novice as she works off the leg and has more engine than a true beginner would want, she never does any thing nasty in any way and is suitable fo a capable novice and will give confidence to a nervous rider.

She is a pleasure to hack alone or in company. unfazed by farm machinery, traffic, barking dogs, not spooky .

15hh 4yr old Connemara mare by well known stallion Celtic Moy Sailor out of a Connemara x sport horse mare.

Clover has been brought on slowly and is proving to be a great all-round pony. She is happy hacking out alone or in company, snaffle mouthed at all times (more woah than go but will step up if asked to) Perfect to catch, farrier, loads first time and travels well - a lovely pony to be around.

Lives in or out depending on my schedule and is not phased either way. She turns out with mares or geldings and is not bossy!

Clover schools sweetly but is green in the school and just starting to work in an outline, she has been to fun rides and popped small fences showing good potential.

She would suit a confident child as she is nice natured and quiet however not for a complete novice as she’s not the finished project yet.

She does have a couple of insignificant sarcoids which do not affect her but this is reflected in her price. A quality pony without a huge price tag

This pony will make someone very happy - more pictures and videos available.

Brook Mountain. Beautiful, grey, sporty, pure bred Connemara out of Mountain Cascade.

This gorgeous boy was broken at 4 yrs and then not worked until 6 when he was brought into work and we bought him 6 weeks on.

We’ve had him for almost 3 years and brought him on slowly and carefully.

He was professionally schooled weekly for his first year with us and has done pony club, 2 camps, competed SJ, dressage, ODE (always brings home a rosette), seen hounds, beach rides etc. He passed 5* vetting when we bought him and we will happily share this with any prospective buyer.

Open to vet. Never sick or sorry.

Lives out but also happy to be in- on his own or with company. He's a very friendly horse and good to handle, catch, shoe, clip, load, travel, Currently lives in busy village and regularly sees double decker buses, lorries, motorbikes and tractors/trailers and is not phased at all.

Teeth, vaccinations, shoeing up to date. His current jockey is now away at school during the week for A-levels and has limited time. So needs a new jockey now to enjoy him and realise his potential.

No complete novices as he can be strong when he's excited and can throw in a cheeky buck! Tack included.

Charlie is a friendly, easygoing boy and has a lovely character. I brought him over from Ireland last autumn. He is not phased by much, used to all farm machinery and has excellent ground manners - my 7yr old can lead him to and from the field. He has been straightforward to start with the groundwork now established. He is happily lunging and long reining in tack and has all the basics firmly in place. Charlie has been leant over, sat on in walk and is ready to be further produced. Charlie travels well, is easy to clip and bath and all his jabs, teeth and feet are all up to date.

I have recently moved to my own place and being on my own and without an arena I am struggling to finish his backing. Very sad sale please no tyre kickers. He is priced to sell and I would like to see him go to an experienced person to help him reach his full potential.

SMART & INTELLIGENT ALLROUNDER PONY IN THE MAKING

Well Put Together 15hnds, 8yo, Grey, Connemara x Cob Gelding who is super intelligent & loves to be involved & to be busy.

Jackson was miss sold out of Ireland & when he arrived was very shut down, nervous of humans & his new family were struggling. I acquired him with all of this disclosed.
Over the last 3 year I have worked with him and is ready for that next step in his development.

Jackson has workman like confirmation & works in my inclined field in walk, trot, canter, over trotting poles & small jumps. He has great potential as a riding club/jumping pony.
I train under the school of “Ecole de Legerete” so Jackson has done a lot of in hand work incorporating work with obstacles with the equitation discipline in mind. He has proved to be very brave.

Jackson good for the farrier & vet.

To enable catching I have always kept him in his own field.

He has hacked out a handful of times at the back end of 2024 but due to lack of time on my part has not done any more – he always stood or walked past cars/vans when asked but he could do with going out with company to further his education in this area.

Jackson is heathy & sound, he's up to date with worming/teeth.

Blackie is the ultimate leisure/pleasure all-rounder with a golden temperament. He is offered for sale on behalf of his owner who’s circumstances have sadly changed leaving no time for him. He is a 15h 5 year old (going on 10!) black Irish cob gelding. He is a real stunning quality stamp who catches the eye where ever he goes. He is gorgeous inside and outside to match and will make someone a horse of a life time for sure. He has good conformation, clean limbs and straight movement. He is such a desirable type as he is a great size for everyone to ride from children to teenagers and adults alike; he would be perfect for a mother/daughter share or family horse for everyone to enjoy. He really excels as a pleasure horse to take on sponsored rides, happy hacks, horse holidays, beach rides, and to do low level riding club on. And best of all he is super safe and very genuine and honest with a quiet gentle temperament.

Blackie is super to hack, he has done more hacking in company due to his owner’s preference but he does also go alone. He has done lots of hacking in groups and trekking through the country side on an easy rein. He is very sensible in open spaces and will happily canter at the back of the group without getting strong or competitive. You can drop you reins on him in canter and he won’t run away, in fact quite the opposite. He is great with traffic and hacks straight out onto a busy through road where traffic goes flying past him. He is super with arctic Lorries and tractors passing him too. He is a lovely medium to ride when out hacking which makes him a real pleasure to ride. He has been on lots of pleasure rides which he really does excel at, he gives other horses confidence as he is such a calm influence. He is so much fun on pleasure rides and always makes you smile and have a good ride. He has been on beach rides where he is always fantastically behaved and loves the water. He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays and enjoy hours of exploring together as he is super comfy too and relaxed in new places. He has also hunted in Ireland with a 13 year old girl where he proved safe and steady so would also suit a hunting home. He would also excel in a trekking centre.

Blackie has good basic schooling established with lovely natural paces. His paces are very smooth and comfortable. He is a steady ride in the school and does need some leg from his rider to keep him going. This makes his rider feel very safe and confident. He has been ridden by novices as well as more competent riders and adapts well. He has also been ridden by children and really looked after them. He is snaffle mouthed for everything with a lovely light mouth. He is very forgiving and doesn't mind if his rider loses balance or misses a beat, he will just slow down and let you catch your balance. He is a basic walk, trot and canter in the school, can sometimes get the wrong canter lead on one rein as he is more used to cantering in straight lines on a hack. He has also just learnt walk to canter which he does very well so he is very willing and trainable. He is alos starting to work in a nice outline. He could easily school up and do some dressage as his paces are good and he has a lovely rhythm. He would suit a wide range of riders from competent novices through to more experienced riders that just want a straight forward easy going ride that they can pick up and put down as he doesn’t require daily riding to keep sane.

Blackie enjoys his jumping. He is very honest and genuine to jump, he looks after his rider and will happily just trot in or equally come in canter. He doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. He is a very much point and aim type who helps his rider out. He isn’t a world beater but enjoys to have a go and has jumped around 80cm. He jumps fillers and water trays. He has been to some local training shows and unaffiliated comps in Ireland as well as pony club. He has also been xc schooling several times where he was such a good boy.. Hes very confident and jumps everything first attempt including ditches and water. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently but remains steady and very safe and sensible. He would excel at hunter trails as well as being suitable for all low level pony club and riding club activities.

Blackie has a superb quiet temperament. He really is such a nice sweet person who wants to be everyone’s friend and wouldn’t hurt a fly. He is easy to handle and is very polite with manners to burn. He loves to be groomed and pampered. He is such a kind loving boy who is very gentle and calm. He is very good to catch, bath, shoe, load, catch ect. He will live alone or in company and in or out, he just goes with the flow and is bottom of the pecking order. He would make a wonderful addition to a family.

He would make the perfect leisure/pleasure horse for hours of hacking and fun rides with some bits of riding club thrown in for fun. It is really important to his owner that Blackie finds a 10* home where he will be loved and enjoyed.

Passed a 5 stage vetting 2 months ago that can come with him and is open to re vetting. Videos available on request. Based in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. £11,250.
