This is an abolutley heartbreaking sale of Sammy. I have owned Sammy for 4 years, and ONLY selling due to not having the time he deserves anymore.

Sammy absolutley loves life. He loves to be out and about, he loves fuss and attention, he loves new adventures. He is never sick or sorry and never has an off day. Sammy is a very forward going ride, and is always full of energy and fun.

Showjumping
Sammy loves showjumping. He never ever refuses, he will attempt the jump infornt of him no matter how wrong his rider is. Sammy is comfortable jumping up to 90cm courses, however I do feel that with the right education he is certainly capable of much more.
He is very forward going over a jump. He locks on and hes going over it. He occasionaly does a little leap going into the jump. But this is all part of the fun. He is great in a jump off, got the speed and the turns. Sammy is very rarely not placed in a show.

Hacking
A wonderful hack. Forward, fun, but safe. Sammy has done beach rides, pub rides, fun rides, hacks on his own, in a large group and is fantastic in traffic. He has a fast walk and is usually up front, but will hapily walk on the buckle. If we are in a group and we canter, he is easy enough to hold back and stay at the back. He is never out of control or bombs off. He has hunted a handful of times and was very well behaved, no different to his usual self out hacking.

Cross country / arena eventing
Nothing phases sammy, he will jump ditches, logs, bushes, trees, hedges and water. Happy to land in water. Sammy has done the derby show in broomes plenty of times and has never put a stop in, and charges across the bridge.


Sammy is easy to handle in all situations. He is calm, kind, and always full of mischeif. Sammy has a massive personality and never fails to make us laugh.
Sammy is good to shoe, catch, clip, and load.
He lives with mares and geldings, and is stabled at night in the winter.
He does like turn out as he gets bored.

The Negatives
As ive said, sammy is forward going, and he does like a cheeky buck. It is absolutley nothing malicious, it is purely playfulness. His bucking is worse when he is ridden in the school at home. When he is in a show, he never bucks in the ring. Might have one in the warm up, but never in the ring. When we are out hacking, if he knows he is on a canter path, he wil do a little buck as if it to say "come on lets canter" but like I said, he never bolts off. My mum hacks him often, and even though she is very experienced, she is also a pretty nervous rider, but she really enjoys riding him.
I let my daughter ride him, and I let my friends ride him, with no concerns whatsoever. He is just not for a novice.

Sammy would be perfect for a confident teenager who just wants to go out and do everything and have loads of fun.

Sammy will only be going to the most perfect home, No timewasters, as I cannot stress enough what a hard sale this is.

Penny is a really quality little mini cob mare .. 12.1 at the moment  4 yo .. but still has a bit of growing to do .. likely to make strong 12.2.

Clean limbs, good sort. Really lovely temperament.. sweet and kind in everyway.. the type you can fetch all the others in and leave in the field and she won't flinch. A really gentle little mare.

Done plenty of lead rein with my little boy but he is not the slightest bit interested so someone else may as well be enjoying her .. we did LR classes, handy pony , fancy dress and even some tiny LR jumping last summer..he can barely ride or rise so she was quite used to him wobbling about all over the place..videos attached show her temperament..

Nanny (65) did some light work with her off the lead rein last summer.. hacking, riding in the woods and she went on a arena couple of times before being turned away for the winter to mature.

Back in a few weeks and hacking out .. really filled out and matured but still has plenty left to do .. no bother to get on .. you could leave her for a year and climb on .

Obviously a young pony so needs producing further and educating but has a very naturally quiet temperament and is easy in all respects. 

Ideal for LR or for a small mum to produce along side child.. or plenty big enough for a little adult.. ( nanny is 7. 5 stone ish )  . Has lovely paces and a neat little jump.. enough step to progress up the BD levels produced or make a fantastic family allrounder.

Not too many like her around. Good to box,trim and on traffic.

Long term loving home please. 

Video attached taken today 13/02 .. first time in arena since back in work.

Based oswestry,shropshire.

Price will increse as we hace her out to clinics and competitions.

Ned is a compact little horse with a good amount of bone and lovely temperament. Ned is by Peters Brook a registered Irish Cob part bred out of a dam by Willie Joe, a unique mix of Irish blood that would make a nice show hunter/ working hunter pony type.

Ned has been an amateur’s horse for most of his life enjoying pleasure rides, hacks, beach rides and all the fun activities in between. He has also done a good few low level competions both showjumping and dressage.

In the school on the flat ned has started to progress nicely, due to the nature of his previous homes schooling has not been the top priority, now in a professional environment being schooled he has proven to pick things up quickly, works in an outline, has three nice paces. And would certainly excel as an event/working hunter horse.

Ned is happy to pop round a course of fences, he has a nice tidy jump and is not fazed by fillers etc. He is currently jumping 80/90cm with ability. He has also done a some cross country fences and loves the variety.

Ned hacks alone and in company, he has seen farm and village traffic and does not get hot up in open spaces. He would hunt as he is mannerly and very well behaved.

Ned is a lovely horse to be around, he is happy to live in or out, goes on the walker and is simply a very easy horse to deal with. He is good to load, clip, shoe, catch etc.

This is a sad sale with a genuine reason. We would love to see Ned in a home where he can continue having lots of fun and compete. For sale on behalf of a client.
