Superb Jumping and Hunting/ cross country pony

Darcy has 3 good balanced paces and a very bold and honest jump. She happily jumps 80cm courses with scope for 90cm . She never spooky and will jump all fillers show jumping and is equally bold cross country over water, ditches, steps etc. Fun and forward, but snaffle mouth. She is excellent to hack alone and in company and never phased by anything; dogs, lorries tractors, hedgecutters etc. Easy to ride and lead and good with other horses.
Darcy has he has been the most fantastic second pony for the last 2 yrs doing all Pony club activities including camps, cross country eventing, fun rides, team chasing, hunting and even pony racing. She has hunted regularly the past 2 seasons with the Ross Harriers and really is the ultimate hunter; forward without being strong or silly and will jump whatever is in front of her.
Darcy is a real character and very intelligent and independent. She will happily stay on her own in the field or stable. She does need time to get to know a new person and can sometimes need a treat to catch. She is fine to clip her body and mane but is sensitive on her legs and head where you need a lot of patience or sedation. . Great to lead shoe, load and travel.
Darcy is a kind and affectionate mare, but is grumpy to have her saddle put on which hasn't changed in 2 yrs so just needs to be tied on a short rope. Has been scoped for ulcers and it was totally clear. She has also had regular physio and has had no injuries or been sick or sorry. Up to date with vaccinations, worming etc Happily lives out and low maintenance.
Very sadly outgrown after 2 great years, Darcy is looking for a knowledgeable new home with a confident child, teenager or small adult to go out and have lots of fun. Not for anyone novice or at all nervous as she is a forward going, lively pony who suits a gutsy rider.

Dougal is an incredible pony, he taken my daughter through the ranks teaching her as they go.

He is extremely well put together and would excel in M&M working classes, he would be hard to beat in a line up.

Dougal is very easy on the ground, he’s great in the stable, good to catch, loads and he gets turned out with others, not fussed by machinery and is generally pretty unflappable.

He isn’t strong, never put a foot wrong and this a genuine sale of a fabulous pony.

13.1hh 12 year old traditional cob mare

  • A true leg at each corner and fantastic stamp of a traditional cob

13.1hh 12 year old traditional cob mare.
She is a true leg at each corner.
I am 5ft9 and I am the rider in the photos.

Mya has been with me for two years now. She has been professionally re-started, ridden away and produced by myself for over a year now, so has had a fantastic re-start to her education. She has been produced slowly and correctly and is proving to be a lovely all rounder who is super honest and always tries her very hardest to please you.
Mya is the most gentle and affectionate soul and is a very loyal little mare who will give you her whole heart. She loves a fuss and a cuddle and just spending time with you.
Mya likes to take life in the steady lane! She is snaffle mouthed at all times and has excellent breaks! She can pick up a gear if asked but she never offers it, she is definitely more whoa than go! Although I do think with more fitness she will find that much easier as she is super willing to give anything a go. She’s schooling beautifully in walk and trot and works over poles and will trot over a tiny jump. She quietly pops into canter but is not fit enough yet for lots of canter work or for me to progress her canter work in the school but this certainly will come with more time!

I have started boxing her up and getting her out and about and she is an absolute pleasure away from home, she loads and travels quietly, ties up outside the box happily, stands to be mounted and is very level headed about it all and very much enjoys seeing and trying new things!
She has done two Trec clinic’s, which she absolutely loved and she tackled all the obstacles very boldly! She has also been to a pole clinic and was a superstar.
She has been to a dressage competition (and is going to more so I will add scores as we get them) and gave me two lovely tests scoring 65.68% and 2nd place and then 66.14% and 4th place. With lovely comments from the judges on all her sheets.

She is a very special little lady with such a massive heart and I know when she finds her perfect partner that she will bring so much happiness and love into their life, someone is going to be very lucky to have her in their life. I’m in absolutely no rush and she will only be sold to her perfect partner and forever home, she deserves the very best and in the meantime we will keep going out and enjoying having fun together until that person finds us.

She is up to date with everything, farrier (she is barefoot), fully vaccinated for flu and tetanus, worming and worm counts, teeth and physio.
She is happy to live in or out, she currently comes in for a few hours a day and turned out with two other mares the rest of the time.
She loads and travels well in a box, I have never had her in a trailer but I can’t see her being a bother as she loves to go out in the box.
She has a passport and microchip.

Homes will be vetted, I am looking for a forever home only please.

No novices please, as much as she is a very straightforward pony to work with and handle I would prefer her to find an experienced home who will give her the very best care.
Absolutely no dealers, no time wasters, no day dreamers, no novices, no joy riders, no riding schools, no loans and no payment plans.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

If you go to Spring House Farm stud’s Facebook and TikTok you will find posts/photos/videos of her.
If you think she sounds like what you are searching for please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Messages ONLY please, my phone signal is terrible so calls are hard to hear and I don’t pick up unknown numbers.

13.1hh cob gelding.

Because of age he needs a more experienced rider.

Very Sad sale, both my daughters have now out grown him, this pony LOVES to go fast, he loves nothing more than hacking and galloping through fields!

Last summer he started hacking out alone but does need a confident rider to do this. Hacking in company he will go first or last. Has seen all traffic lorries, tractors, motorbikes, has hacked past sheep, cows other horses. He does sometimes need a little time to process things that aren't usually there, but once he has will move forward I think taking confidence from his rider and put this down to age. Proven to be safe in open fields.

Schooling isn't his favourite and I feel with the right home and consistency this would improve."Can occasionally put in a buck when fresh or if work has been inconsistent, therefore suited to a confident rider."

Very low mileage and has only just started to jumping , he absolutely loves to jump. I would be so happy if his new person could continue this journey with him!!
Good doer. Bare foot.
Upto date with wormer and teeth.
In summer lives out happily, used to being stabled at night over winter.
Due to being on individual turn out/diy livery he does like to have another horse for company and will get upset if turned out alone.
No health issues or vices.
Easy to catch he comes to you!

Ideal home would be with a keen and capable young rider wanting to jump and have fun with.
13.1hh but wide and chunky enough to carry a 5'5 rider.
Not suitable as a 1st pony as can be sharpe at times.

Romani Stardust AKA Mani is a rising 5 year old brave hearted pocket rocket of a pony, looking for a new home to further his education and take him to his next adventure. 

Perfect for 2nd child's pony club pony. Due to his age Mani has not done a great deal, as we did not want to rush him.

Mani has gone baby cross country schooling once he has done one fun ride and lightly schooled but mostly just light hacking, hacks alone or in company with impeccable manners.

He is barefoot and has fantastic feet, if manged correctly he should never need shoes. Mani has been with us since he was just seven months old. 

A good home is essential as he really has been one of the family, unfortunately my daughter had the audacity to grow and Mani just didn't! 

Mani is a loving pony with a great sense of humour and is keen for his next chapter with a smaller child to take him further. 

Mani is clipped regularly and is easy to do including his legs, he is good with the trimmer and is always keen to load in our trailer. 

We have a massive amount of pictures and videos of Mani that we would be happy to send to SERIOUS buyers! No time wasters or joy riders please, this is a very hard sale. 

Mani is also up to date with Vacs, teeth and wormer.

UPDATE Mani did his first hunter trials yesterday at 40 cm! Only had one stop at a fence that had a few refusals from other ponies so it obviously had a monster of some kind hiding behind it! Such a fab little pony!

Squeaks

We have owned Squeaky since he was three years old, and he has been nothing but an absolute angel throughout his time with us.

He is kind, sensible, and has a lovely nature both on the ground and under saddle. Squeaky has attended several shows, both flat and jumping, and takes everything in his stride. He is unfazed by fillers, happily walks through water, and is always willing to give anything a go.

Sadly, he is offered for sale through no fault of his own, as his little jockey has lost interest and we feel he is wasted with us.

Squeaky would make the perfect all-rounder for a child or family looking for a genuine, trustworthy pony. He is wonderful to handle and enjoys being fussed over. Children can happily brush him, plait him, add glitter, and spend time around him safely.

He stands quietly for the farrier, bathing, grooming, and all routine handling. He loads and travels well and is a pleasure to have around.

We have done a bit of everything with him, enjoys hacking, been to the forest etc.He has a willing attitude and always wants to please .

Squeaky deserves a family who will continue his journey he has had a perfect start and doesn't know bad., he now needs someone to continue to show him the world, teach him the ropes, and love him as part of the family. He has true HOYS potential and, in the right hands with time and experience, I genuinely believe he could go all the way. He is also fine enough to be beautifully plaited up for the show ring.

This is a very sad sale, and finding the right home is our absolute priority.

Amazing hunting pony - 9 year old golden dun mare. Hunted 3 full seasons, and some odd days this season, with The South Downs Bloodhounds (now The Wessex Bloodhounds) - has field mastered and ridden up with hounds.

Will go first or last and has caught many loose horses! Hunting references available.

Loves fun rides, beach rides, pub rides, XC schooling and hacks in company or alone in the New Forest. Great to load, shoe, bath, clip and with farrier, vet and dentist.

Vaccinations and teeth up to date. This pony would definitely race as has the heart to win. Loves hacking and jumps anything on The New Forest - gorse bushes, ditches, logs etc - not strong - will gallop and pull up very easily.

Change of focus is forcing a very sad sale of this much loved pony, as she is just not getting the ridden attention she deserves and is totally bored. She needs to go and enjoy life with a new best friend. Lots of videos and photos available.

We bought her to hunt and she has been amazing - we are not selling her as a competition pony because we haven’t done anything like that with her as we are not a competition home - please don’t ask for videos of her competing in SJ, dressage, Eventing or at PC or videos of her in a competition environment, as we do not have these.

Measures 12.2hh at home with front shoes on, so should measure in under the new system.

He is forward going and can be strong but is never nasty, just enthusiastic. Handled by children, loves being groomed and fussed over. Can be headstrong on the ground at times, so needs an experienced home with competent adults.

Hacks alone or in company and leads off of another horse.

He has attended many stay aways and pony club camp.

Achievements are as followed:
- Qualified for stepping stones nationals 2025
- Qualified for cats & pipes Scope 2025
- 6th 70cm SJ bicton mini champs 2024

- Jumped in the academy teams 2024
- Qualified schools finals 70cm and 80cm
- Jumped british novice and blue-chip qualifiers
- Has arena evented and xc schooled

He would suit a confident, established rider, who wants a fun, forward ride. He is lovely and forgiving but would not suit a novice.
no time wasters.

Woody has qualified stepping stones finals 25/26, cats and pipes 25/26, Fabbri UK 25/26, Sprinboard DC at original height, DC POYS Mini Grand Prix and many more!

Although for us he has competed BS, due to his nature he would also excel as a top end Pony Club or NSEA pony, he won’t hot up or change regardless of where he is and is the safest pony to take a child around whatever discipline they desire! Woody hacks on the buckle, has done beach rides, XC, arena eventing, gallops, is off the leg but with impeccable breaks. Has not once napped, reared, bucked or bolted with us and has always been done by small children. Above all he truly is my daughters best friend and a much loved family member and we will be devastated to see him go, however know he will go on to make another little child as happy as he has made us.

He will happily step down again and teach another little jockey everything he has taught my daughter! He is incredibly special to us and finding him the right home is our main priority.

Here we have our lovely Robin for sale. Robin was bought from a local home as a Winter project for my Daughter and he has been a delight. We have endeavoured to give him the best start in life ready to go out and excel in any field.

Robin has nice balanced paces with a canter that is easy to sit to. He hacks out in company and alone and lives on a busy working farm where he is unphased by large machinery, other animals and general chaos. He lives in or out and turns out with mares and geldings. He has fabulous conformation - a solid sort with a leg in each corner. 14hh approx and still growing.

Robin has been out to unaffiliated showjumping at Richmond, Northallerton and Harrogate and has jumped clear round 50, 60 and 70 cm courses. He has also gone round arena show cross and XC courses and jumped everything first time including the water and steps. He will trot and pop or go up a gear where he needs to - he is forward so will suit someone who enjoys this as he likes to get on with the job.

Robin is easy to do in all ways. He loads, comes to call, enjoys a groom and a bath. Great with the farrier (barefoot), vet etc Wants to be everyone's best friend. Loved being clipped. No vices. Never reared, bitten, kicked. Vaccinated and wormed.

Robin can sometimes put in a little fun buck when excited and can look a little wary in a busy warm up (though this has improved every time out). Robin is sold with a recent 5 stage vet certificate from a top FEI vet.

Robin is suitable as a family pony - a mother/daughter share or a second pony. He is a real chunk and takes up the leg well (the rider in the pics and videos is 5'5"). He is generally enthusiastic about everything in life, would love pony club, and I am sure he would enjoy hunting or excel as a working hunter pony too. Knowledgeable homes only. No nervous or hysterical parents. Robin is not for a novice and needs a balanced rider with soft hands to further his education.

Sold with bridle and rug

Video shows Robin on the ground, flatwork, jumping and generally living his best life!

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder To Enjoy Hacking, Pleasure Rides, & Low Level Adventures

  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh Max. Age 8-14 yrs
  • A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type

I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Twiggy has a fantastic temperament that would be very hard to find. She is handled regularly by small children on the ground including our 3 year old since she was 2YO.

Twiggy is faultless on the ground. She can be trusted to stand all day to be fussed, bathed led around by small children & is faultless for the farrier & to clip, load & travel. Will let our 3yo pick her feet out, sit on her back and brush her for hours and is always aware of where she is around her. She really is one in a million.

Schooling
She schools on the flat well. She has established walk, trot and canter and works well on a contact in a lovely outline. She has the most fantastic flashy trot flicking her toes for the judges! Children can just have a play around with her in the school and she is always happy to please. Her schooling over fences is relatively early days although she has been very willing & uncomplicated when popped over small fences by children and she has been to a couple of arena hires and rode a full course lovely and enjoyed it so she should progress well in this area.
Her ridden work away from home is more limited but she has always behaved well at arena hires. She has attended pony club camp days/weeks and always behaved impeccably on lead rein and she will stand between lessons without issues. She is middle of the road with her pace, she is not a kick along and she is not wizzy or fizzy she just sits at a lovely pace but will absolutely pick it up for her rider if that’s what they ask. She enjoys her tik tok fun canters with the older kids and will tootle along with the younger ones.

Showing
This is where Twiggy really excels. With our daughter still being very young we have done lots of in hand with her to get her out and about and give her good experience. She has been to lots of showing classes and will do numerous classes in a day and is always in the ribbons and sashes, usually taking ?? or ??, she has also won champion, supreme champion and reserve champion multiple times. She is a real judges favourite and her feedback is always that she will go far in the right hands! Her experience ridden in the ring is more limited, she is fine on lead rein but ridden independently with a novice jockey she can become unsettled hence I would not advertise her as a first ridden for this sole reason she needs to gain her confidence in this with a more experienced rider.

Hacking
Absolutely unphased with hacking & will willingly climb hills, pop ditches, go through water, front, back, hack alone or in company & is no problem with traffic or any machinery. She has cantered/galloped in open fields with an older rider and was excellent and came back when asked.

Never been laminitic
Up to date with vet, physio and farrier.

A 10* home is essential as she is an absolute star of a pony. We will request references. This little pony deserves a fantastic home to be loved & continue to progress her education. She would do very well in a showing home as she really does have the potential to go to the top or equally she can turn her hoof to anything so with the right little jockey she would make a beautiful all rounder.

Jasper

42 inch/106cm, Grey, 9 year old gelding.

Jasper is a genuine, versatile pony with plenty to offer. Looking for his new best friend & family.

He is a kind and willing type.

* Produces a nice dressage test
* Has experience pony racing
* Is suitable for Lead Rein riders & Experienced riders
* Loves his jumping & hacking
* Has a great attitude and loves his work

Jasper is a straightforward pony who we had brought with hopes to do workers with but unfortunately due to new jumping ponies we haven’t got the time he deserves.

A wonderful all-round pony with the experience to teach a younger rider while still being competitive enough to enjoy a variety of activities with a more experienced older rider.

Please get in touch for more information, photos, and videos.

Serious enquiries only please. Happy to accept an offer to a good loving home. 


Lovely Welsh Cross Allrounder for Loan


Ref #: 410914
  • Moves beautifully and has competed successfully in dressage in her previous home
  • Loves hacking, fun rides and endurance
  • For loan to stay at present home
  • Welsh Part Bred
  • Mare
  • 14 years
  • 14 hands
  • Moves beautifully and has competed successfully in dressage in her previous home
  • Loves hacking, fun rides and endurance
  • For loan to stay at present home

Lovely 14hh Welsh cross allrounder mare, 14yo for loan to stay at present home between bath and frome. A great chance for a competent friendly and commited person to have fun and enjoy this much loved little mare. Lightweight adult preferred (Approx 10st and under) Might suit somebody returning to riding or mother/daughter share. Luna is safe and sane, good to hack alone or in company and excellent in traffic and with low flying air craft.

She has looked after me, a veteran rider, very well for the last 7 years. She is a typical pony, greedy, quite sassy, and characterfull and can be strong at times so not suitable for a novice. Loves hacking, fun rides and endurance. Grade 1 in her first novice competition. Moves beautifully and has competed successfully in dressage in her previous home. Good to handle in all ways.

Following an accident and surgery, I will not be riding again in the near future. But want Luna to stay here on our small farm where she is happy and an important member of our human and equine family. 

No charge for livery/keep, just pay for shoes/riding expenses and share horse care. Horses mainly live out, currently on a track system. Nice company to ride with good hacking on bridleways and lanes. Fields to ride in, small indoor school currently under renovation. We have a sensible older Highland pony also, so could suit 2 friends or mother/daughter. A golden opportunity for the right person to build a partnership with this lovely pony which could become long term.
