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.

Beautiful Piebald Cob Mare

  • 7 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • 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.

Betty Boop is a 15.1h, 7yr old mare with the kindest nature for all of the family to enjoy

She is easy to do in every way, loves attention, is good to shoe, box, clip, vet etc. She will live alone or in a herd, she is not mareish.


Out hacking Boops is anyone’s ride, she is not spooky or silly, alone or in company. She is a forward ride and will go up front or behind. She is extremely safe and has taken novices out around Cirencester park and pub rides.

Boops still needs to further her education in the school ; however she is very willing to learn and shows fantastic potential in this area. She has lovely straight paces and a “can do” attitude with everything you ask of her,

While she is safe and sensible for the more novice rider to enjoy out hacking (and the basics in the school) she is no kick-along plod, she is a lovely responsive yet sensible ride for the more experienced jockey to enjoy and have fun with too,

Since owning Boops, she has come on so well in a short space of time. She works well over poles and is starting to make a lovely shape on the flat and jumps a fence with ease.

  • Confidence giving / experience
  • Fun character, laid back but knows its stuff
  • Easy to handle, take to shows on my own

Im a confident rider with many many years of experience with different breed of horses. However, as I am nearing 40, i am now looking for my last horse of a life time, so looking for a nice allrounder to have fun and bring me back home safe and in one piece.

I own a small holding which consists of stables, arena and 10 acres of land.

Currently have 6 horses at home which consist of a pony for my daughter, 2 retired that have been with me for years and 3 youngsters I bred myself.

Things I am looking for in my next horse - they must be easy to do in all ways, I often will go to shows by myself or with my young daughter.

Confidence giver and forgiving in the jumping department, someone to help me out when I get it wrong - nice steady approach when jumping, don’t want something that locks on a shoots forward.

Hack out alone and in company.

Would like to start doing more dressage, so something that knows the basics.

I do enjoy the odd fun ride with a friend so would be nice if I can do this without the horse jogging the entire way or running off when another horse comes past. (Had many of these type of horses when I was younger, my body was more able back then)

No bucking, rearing - I understand it is impossible to ask for a bomb proof horse but something not too spooky.

I am actively looking and have a healthy budget for the right horse.

Height - 15.2hh to 16.3hh

Age - 7 years to 11years may go slightly older depending on how old. But don’t want to go any younger as I do what the horse to have experience.

Ideally looking to buy from a private home, someone who has had their horse for a while and knows a lot of history.

Horse must be open to vet and vet history.

If you think you may have something to suit please get in touch.

I am also happy to keep in touch with previous owner etc.

Sorry no full TB/ex racer or cobs
Happy to receive what’s app videos etc I am based in North wales, happy to travel up to 3 hours for the right horse.

Thanks for reading.

******** Please please only message if your horse fits my criteria above. I have had a lot of people messaging me with 4 year olds/ rising 5 year old or 13/14 years old. This is not what I am after - I already have youngsters at home and 2 retired horses. ***********
