  • Good to load , shoe , clip - no vices - ideal hunting horse.

Dream ( Kildromin Dream) has been my granddaughters pony club ride from a five year old until now - she reached her 12th year in June - born 2014.

She is fast - quick to turn and is great out hunting / Hunter trials / team chase and polocrosse - she was a real winner show jumping and has a good BSJ record, but started to put a stop in at SJ competitions- she has still hunted fine and enjoys the cross-country, rustic fences. She’s competed polocrosse regularly, even getting a podium place at pony club championships in 2024. This year she’s mainly hunted and was in the ribbons last weekend at the Hunter trials.

She’s always been exercised regularly in our arena at home -( she’s always been shod on all four ) and we are told by experts recently that she shows real potential as a dressage horse. We feel she would be ideally suited to a hunting family or low level dressage / happy hacker.

She can be a little spooky but nothing dangerous… she does take confidence from her rider and is sensitive. So not a novice ride.

She measured in at 149.5 officially and is probably 15hh now - so a horse not a pony - therefore our aim is for her to go to a petite adult rider with experience- and who can offer a five star forever home for this much loved mare.

She is never sick or sorry and is open to any vetting - she is up to date with worming / injections / teeth etc and comes with her saddle / bridle rugs etc

  • Safe, Genuine Novice Ride
  • 16hh+ | 8 Years & Over
  • Full Livery & Experienced Support

Looking for my first horse and hoping to find the right long-term partner.

I'm an adult beginner rider, looking for a sensible, confidence-giving horse that I can learn and progress with.

Ideally looking for:

16hh or above

8 years old or older

Kind, calm and forgiving temperament

Well-schooled and established, rather than green or sharp

Sensible to hack, ideally alone and in company

Happy with general schooling and some low-level jumping

Good manners on the ground and straightforward to handle

The horse will be kept on full livery, with experienced support and regular schooling by the yard, so there will be plenty of help on hand.

I'm not looking to compete seriously, just to develop my riding, enjoy hacking, schooling and a bit of jumping, and hopefully build a great partnership.

Budget: Ideally £10,000–£12,000, but flexible for the right horse.

Based in Norfolk, happy to travel for the right one.

This will be a long-term home, and I'm in no rush to buy. Temperament and suitability are far more important to me than breed, colour or competition history.

Please get in touch if you have anything suitable or know of a horse that might fit.

Robyn - 4yo 15hh Connemara mare Robyn. All class one breeding throughout her book, totally nice and blemish free and a total pleasure to have around. Plenty of maturing and growing left to do.

Robyn has attended clear rounds and training shows, and arena hires. She has always been super bold over fillers and has care for a pole. She has a lovely technique over a fence and is very light on her feet. She is straight to her fences and isn’t strong/ silly or overly wobbly for a 4yo!

She has been xc schooling and jumped everything first time, was good into the water and genuine at every fence including ditches and owl holes! She is happy to trot and pop or will canter on to a fence. Again she is super straight and loves to work. She’s not spooky when working around the fences and not phased by other horses working around her on the course. She is well behaved on the lorry, she is also very well behaved when another horse is taken away from her and happy to stand on the box and wait her turn.

Robyn is fab to hack, she’s a hand on your hip one hand on the reins and go off mooching kind of pony! She’s very good in all traffic, has seen lots of tractors and hedge cutters and farm machinery. She’s brill on the roads, alone or in company and in open space and is always in a snaffle.

She has been hunter trialling and had to be the lead horse round a 2’6-3ft (90cms) course. She jumped everything in front and was incredibly brave and genuine. She was fab in the collecting ring and a star the whole way round. She certainly is a pony with a v bright future!

Robyn is good in the ménage but she is a 4yo, so she can’t really be anything but a little green! I would be happy to attend a prelim dressage test on her and expect to score respectably! She has a lovely length of stride in the trot and looks super flash trotting around the school! She has a rhythmical canter and is never sharp / strong or silly.

Robyn day to day is a kind easy genuine pony. She is good to catch/ turn out / lives alone or with others / happy to stable / good to shoe / load / travel / bath. Stood like a lamb to pull her mane / wash her tail etc.

this is a lovely example of a sporty type Connemara, she has a recent clean vet cert from the middle of august when she was Purchased, she is open to any vetting. She has no blemishes / scars / sarcoids / vices / hang ups. Robs is a total pleasure to have around and wish they could all be like her! She is going to make someone very happy and will excel in any sphere, but I think she would make a fab eventer/ mother daughter share and a lovely hack.

  • Approx 14.3hh, 4yo, Connemara x Cob, Mare.
  • A beautiful young mare with an exceptional temperament and a very bright future ahead of her!

Miss Banks is an incredibly sweet, quiet and genuine young horse who has been an absolute pleasure to have on the yard. She came over from Ireland 5 weeks ago and has impressed us from day one with her lovely attitude towards everything asked of her.

For a 4yo Ms Banks really is exceptionally quiet and sensible. She has such a level-headed outlook on life, never looking to make a fuss and always willing to please. She’s the sort of horse that makes you forget just how young she is!

Ms Banks has three lovely paces, with a particularly beautiful canter. She sweetly on the flat, is naturally well balanced and is proving to be a quick and willing learner, nice of the leg but not sharpe.

Ms Banks is very good out alone and in company and is absolutely perfect in open spaces. She’s a really enjoyable little horse to take out and about, with a sensible attitude beyond her years.

Ms Banks attended her first show jumping competition recently and was an absolute superstar! She took the whole experience in her stride, behaving beautifully and giving her rider a lovely, confident round. A fantastic first outing and a real credit to her temperament.

Ms Banks is going to make a fantastic little all-rounder, riding club or pony club type. She’s got a wonderful brain, a lovely willing attitude and so much potential for someone to continue producing.

Horses with such a genuine, quiet temperament at this age are worth their weight in gold, and Ms Banks really is a lovely example of this.

Someone is going to be very lucky to have this special little mare in their stable!

Riders are 5’2 and 5’5

Poppy is a true gem of a slightly overgrown pony. She has three utterly beautiful paces. Produced slowly by us for the last year she has done a bit of everything including showing, eventing, dressage, show jumping, pony club and loves to hack out alone or in company.

Her last three dressage scores eventing have been sub 30’s and she’s been placed at each unaff event we’ve done with her always jumping clear xc and proving VERY brave. She is not phased by any filler , water tray etc. we have also done the workers with her. And some coloured flat showing, she is CHAPS reg and was 5th at RWHS in very good company with lovely comments from the judges.

She’s been competing at 90, but ready to step up now to 100’s.

A loving home is paramount as we adore this little mare.

Only for sale as she doesn’t have quite enough timber for the workers which is our daughters main discipline.

Would suit a pc home and a varied life.

She’s forward going but safe.

Luna - 14/14.1 (just in between), 5 year old cob mare.

Lovely allrounder type who is proving to be a sensible sort. Takes the leg well and is chunky so will take an adult.

Fun little cob that’ll give anything a go. Working all 3 paces in arena, not turbo charged but not a complete kick along. Doesn’t mind a wobble or a double bounce here and there and isn’t a spooky type. I hate the phrase bombproof but she’s as close as you can get. Hacks alone or in company, good in traffic and with the farm machinery around the place here.

Good in open spaces, enjoys a good canter through the field. Started to pop some XC fences and was such a lot of fun, showed her what to do and then she just popped around with her ears pricked really enjoying it!

Luna has been with an RDA centre for the last 5 months so has had a really good education. Before that she was with a private home and had done lots of hacking so she’s been well started. Stands quietly to mount and isn’t phased by much. The only reason she’s for sale is that she is a bit more of a one to one pony and can be cheeky with unconfident/very novice handlers. She’s a cob and will take the mick if she can like most (I’m going to that bit of grass over there, no I don’t have to move back when you ask)! Nothing nasty at all. We’ve had no issues at all with her, set the boundaries from the start and she’s great she’s been a pleasure to have around.

Good to catch, shoe, bath. Can stand for a minute and think about loading but goes on when she knows she has too.

Passed a 5 stage vetting when purchased.

Could possibly suit a competent novice with the right help and support around them.

Seen on sales livery on behalf of owners.

Safe & Lovely Happy Hacker – Fantastic in Traffic, Enjoys Hacking & Low-Level Schooling

  • Safe and sensible to hack alone or in company
  • Genuine happy hacker who loves a quiet, steady ride

A lovely, sweet-natured mare who is best suited to someone looking for a genuine, enjoyable happy hacker.

She is a pleasure to hack and is excellent in traffic, taking everything in her stride and proving safe and sensible out and about. She is equally happy hacking alone or with company and enjoys a quiet, steady pace.

She will walk, trot and canter in the arena, although she is much more of a laid-back, steady type and doesn’t have a huge amount of enthusiasm for schooling. She would therefore suit someone looking for a reliable hacking companion rather than a competition or schooling prospect.

She is a lovely character with a kind nature and is good to have around the yard. She is easy to handle and enjoys attention, making her a nice horse to spend time with.

She does need to be tied up for the vet and farrier, as if held rather than tied she can pull away, so this is something a prospective home would need to be comfortable with.

A genuine, uncomplicated mare who would make a lovely addition to the right home and is ready to be enjoyed for what she does best — happy, safe hacking.

Seeking my next perfect pony! Must haves between - 14 h and 15.2h, between - 6 and 17

Ideally to be within 2 and a half hours of Derbyshire. Would consider going further for the perfect one !

MUST be safe around traffic , farm machinery , farm animals ( as I live on a farm )

Would be doing happy hacking , schooling , fun rides , local shows - flat showing and dressage.

All year round turn out on private land , living with a Connie gelding and mini Shetland gelding ( can be in separate field)

Massive stables roughly 4 times bigger than an average one ! videos and pictures can be provided

Lots of land to hack around.

My preferred breed is a chunky Connemara type just because I love the breed so much , but would consider something else that fits the bill !

I previously had a bad accident with my last pony on the road with a tractor and my confidence is very low , it's very important that my next pony is a very safe confidence-giver. I am aware no horse is perfect but I don't want anything sharp or spooky and nothing that bolts , rears or bucks , strong etc so I can get confidence back for this reason I wouldn't want anything super young and green.

more woah than go type

I would prefer no health issues but if it's something slight I will consider.

more must haves are good loading , good for farrier , dentist , for leading and for the vet.

I have had weekly dressage lessons and then monthly lessons with jumping and spent a lot of time hacking ,before my accident. I have had horses for many years and was a competent rider until my accident where I lost confidence and i haven't ridden regularly for a while now , which is why its very important my next pony is safe and willing to help me get back into it.

I am aware this is a lot to ask for but I know somewhere they must be one for me :) genuine 10 star home awaits thanks !

This super smart boy has active, fluent paces, with compact good looks and plenty of presence. He was bred in Ireland, bought as an unbroken three year old by previous lady owner based in Warwickshire. In her capable hands he was slowly brought on to be a good allrounder having been out show jumping, cross country, hunting, fun rides etc. 


He was lightly shown both in affiliated novice flat and WHP classes, finishing 3rd at his first county show. He has also done a little dressage where he consistently achieved upwards of 68% every time out. As a five year old he qualified for and finished 4th in the British Connemara Eventing Finals. He does take confidence from his rider when jumping so needs a rider who is able to provide this. More photos available on request.  


Hacks alone and in company through a busy village and is sensible with traffic.  Good to handle, brilliant to load and travel. A low mileage pony who would suit those looking for an eye catching fun allrounder to further educate and enjoy. Needs a job.
First three photos show him in his previous home turning his hoof to a bit of everything! Last two photos are recent from his current home.


A caring, capable and experienced home is all important for this lovely fellow who is for sale through no fault of his own. Sad sale as lady owner has health issues hence has only hacked this year. He is the sweetest pony. 


Vaccinations, teeth, back and worming all up to date. No vices and zero health issues. He is N/N for hoof wall disease, open to any vetting. The right five star home sought for this much loved boy.

14.2 traditional black cob gelding 4 year old

This has been a hard decision to make to sell are beautiful boy Theo.

Theo is a beautiful boy with loads of feather, plenty of bone and the loveliest kind nature he is wonderful cobs like him don’t come along that often definitely a yard favourite.

Despite his age, Theo is a sensible steady type and is much more a kick-along steady ride rather than forward going. He is a lovely level - headed young horse who enjoys to be with people and enjoys hacking and been fussed with.

He hacks out alone and in company. He has seen cars, bikes, heavy farm machinery, dogs cattle and takes them all in his stride. He is good with all horse mares and geldings very gentle and kind.

He has been to the beach loads and travels lovely.

Theo is very green in the school due to his age and stage of his education. He is still learning and needs someone who is happy to continue his schooling and bring him on. For this reason he wouldn’t be suitable for a complete novice despite his steady nature. He stands lovely at the mountain block for his rider.

On the ground Theo is an absolute sweetheart he is happy to stand tied, loves being groomed and fussed with can be brushed all over good having bath and feathers washed good with fly spray etc. He is good for the dentist, vet, farrier, he is currently barefoot with nice strong feet.

Theo has a fantastic temperament and is a really genuine young horse with lots of potential in the right hands. He will make a brilliant happy hacker/family cob/do well in show ring.

He is only 4 so looking for a confident kind experience home that understands young horses and can continue his education. Cobs like this don’t come along very often. Includes tack and light weight rugs.
