  • Absolute Flash Connemara Pony Mare
  • Rising 4-Year-Old | 13.2hh
  • Exceptional Movement & Jump

A seriously eye-catching Connemara mare with all the attributes to make a top class competition pony. Standing at 13.2hh, she has outstanding presence, three correct flashy paces, and a naturally careful jump with plenty of scope.

Broken earlier this year and produced slowly and correctly. She has been jumping around a course showing great technique and attitude, and has taken everything in her stride.

Nothing phases her — she has happily jumped:
• Water trays
• Fillers
• Coloured poles
• Different types of fences

She has since been turned away for the remainder of the winter to mature and is now ready to continue her education and be brought back into work making her an ideal prospect for someone wanting a talented young pony to bring on.

Temperament

A very kind and genuine mare with a lovely nature:
• Easy in and out of the stable
• Loads and travels well on lorry
• Happy to handle on her own
• Good to bath, trim and groom
• Good with the farrier

A straightforward young pony with a great brain and attitude to work.

  • 9 years

  • Been used as a companion pony
  • Kind natured

Very smart and correct registered Sec A mare, will make a wonderful all-rounder or ideal for showing. Also a brilliant companion.

Has never kicked or bitten, forward thinking attitude and says yes to everything we ask of her.

Lightly backed due to being used as a companion until last year. Long reining round fields and roads happily, has been ridden around the yard and hacked out in company and alone. Naturally works in a nice outline.

Requires food to catch her in a big field but fine in smaller areas and this has improved with regular and consistent work.

Vaccinated, up to date teeth, worming etc. Ready to go on and find a job now.

No novices, she is only recently backed and I have no doubt she will be an amazing kids pony with mileage but is not suitable for a wobbly unbalanced child yet. Ideal project for a small teenager, my 12yr old has done a lot of work with her and happily catches her, tacks her up and long reins and rides her.

Bridle and rugs available by separate negotiation.

Perfect Kids 1st Pony
RDA / Special Requirement

SUPER SUPER SAFE
KIND, LOVING, SUPERSTAR

Frankie is the calmest, considerate, gentleman who always takes care of his riders. Ridden by tiny tots to small adults, weight carrier with a good amount of bone.

Tonnes of experience and unbelievably safe. Ideal for a beginner, nervous rider or a rider who wants a chilled relaxing ride, he is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, he is more whoa than go, even though he is super safe, he responds to the leg and has 3 nice paces. He is willing and will do what you ask, even pops a small jump or log, he walks, trots and canters steadily. Frankie has done Pony Club / Riding Club / fun rides / beach rides / low level competitions under Saddle and in hand prior to coming to us.
He is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic pony for anyone to build up their confidence, learn to ride and continue to progress on.
Definitely a 1st Pony

13 yrs schoolmaster

Exceptional gelding with tonnes of experience for sale. Has spent the last few years in the same riding school where he has been ridden by complete novice and intermediate riders both children and small adults. He has done all flat work lessons, privates and groups. He is very genuine and loves to hack out, he doesn’t pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, he is the most loving gelding you could ever wish to meet. . he is one of the favourite with our SEN children and small adults, he participates in all our RDA lessons, hacks and stable management sessions.

Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and has brilliant manners enabling anyone to handle him safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed.

He has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy schoolmaster, with no ifs or buts.

Frankie will hack out alone or in company in the heaviest fast moving traffic without batting an eye lid. He has seen all farm machinery as we use it on the farm daily. He is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of whether he is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on his own, he will not rush or pull even on the way home.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

He lives within a mixed herd, stabled during the day and turned out at night, he prefers to be stabled full time, he keeps himself to himself and never causes any trouble despite being out with a large mixed herd.
He is currently barefoot and has excellent manners with the farrier and could be shod if needed. he ties up anywhere, and loves attention.
He is excellent to catch, clip, bath, load, travel, with the farrier, vet and dentist.

Frankie would give confidence to any rider / handler and could easily return to low level riding club / pony club / fun rides / beach rides.

He can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, he is extremely low maintenance, he maintains his weight all year round on grass, hay, haylage during the winter months.
He has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch, sarcoids, never been sick or sorry, no lumps or bumps. Never needed a vet in the whole time we have had him.

I can honestly say he has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, he passes the riding school annual license inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around every few years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Perfect Child’s Pony

7 year old
13.1hh
Grey Connemara cross

We have owned Rupert Bear for 3 years, he’s been solely produced by my 11 year old daughter but sadly he has now been outgrown.

Rupert adores attention and will stand around all day to be fussed. Rupert is very exposed to noisy, wild children and free roaming dogs. He will happily accept a stable full of children with pleasure! Rupert is kept on a busy working farm.

Great to catch, clip, load, travel, brush, mane pull, pick feet, tack up, bath, farrier (barefoot), vet, just generally great to handle in all ways.

Rupert will turn out alone or with others and is often borrowed to keep other horses company. Rupert will turn out alone even if there’s no horses in sight, without fuss. You can also take his field friend away without hassle. He’s great with mares and geldings. Rupert will equally stable alone with no other horses around. Rupert will happily stay in during times of very bad weather. Currently in overnight and out during the day.

Rupert is brilliant to hack in the heaviest of traffic including all farm machinery, lorries, motorbikes, trailers etc. Has been ridden over motorway and train bridges. Will hack alone or in company, my daughter often hacks alone. Not stupid in open spaces but will go if you ask him too. Does gates with ease.

Rupert has been schooled well by my 11 year old daughter. Rupert will occasionally pop a buck in the school, typically when jumping with a more competent rider. He has not done this with my son who is very novice/lead rein.

Rupert has hunted two seasons and attended a meet of 150 riders in Dec’25. Rupert is mannerly and genuine on the field, he has jumped hedges, rails, ditches, walls. He will stand quietly at the meet and between lines but keep up with ease when the field is moving.

Rupert has attended countless funrides where he is always impeccably behaved and jumps everything asked of him. Rupert isn’t fazed by other horses overtaking or being silly. He doesn’t get fizzy.

Rupert has done lots of arena hires, xc schooling, SJ, clinics, dressage etc. He’s been out and seen the world.

Open to any vetting

Only the best of homes for our Rupert Bear as this is an incredibly hard decision for my daughter. We adore this pony and will only allow him to go to the BEST of homes!

  • Actively looking for the best Pony Club ponies
  • Some fabulous knowledgeable homes waiting
  • No fees for sellers

I have motivated clients looking for genuine, kind, quality and proven ponies to take part in all Pony Club activities.

The ponies I would love to hear about are those not needing to be advertised to secure a new home. There’s no harm in finding out whether I know of a better home and match. Perhaps you worry about your child finding it upsetting seeing their old pony regularly at rallies etc - then selling out of area could be a better solution.

These are motivated buyers receiving guidance as to what will likely suit their child - not the timewasters regularly reported. In most cases homes are also knowledgeable: simply lacking in time to conduct a search themselves. Most will also wait for the right pony so if you are not ready to sell yet, that’s not an issue.

There are some decent budgets available relative to age and medical conditions etc.

All leads will be handled with discretion.

8 yo mare .. just a fraction under 13.2 but makes up for it in her stature! ..she has been in the same home since a 5 yo and her full history is known.

She has been ridden by all members of the family but the majority of time by a mature 74 yo lady. She has 51 BD points won to date ( Prelim and novice ) , has qualified for numerous championships in the past. Most recently she qualified for the area festivals with her dressage to music scores last summer. Won local dressage leagues with scores up to 76 %.. she's always in the ribbons! She qualified for the BD under 25's Championship in 2023. Working Novice / elementary level and ready to go out and win!! . Would be an fantastic BYRDs prospect .

She has jumped competitively up to 80cm.Again brining home lots of ribbons. She was placed at weston lawns summer spectacular in the BS club classes last summer. She has done some arena eventing, been on fun rides and done some low level showing but owners primary interest has been Dressage.

She has also been to pony club camp on the lead rein with 5 yo grandson behaving perfectly. She hacks out alone and with others, will canter across a field first or last .. or stand and wait in the middle while the grandchildren go off on their own. Brilliant with the heaviest of traffic. 

Leg on type but not lazy and you can razz her up as much or a little as you want to jump! ..

Never sick or sorry, a safe and sound mare but with plenty of ability. Would be a fabulous family cob for all members to ride or ideal for someone wanting to progress up the levels BD. Also would suit older child to enjoy PC etc .. can throw quite a jump so wouldnt be for a tot! Would easily to a BE 80 event fit and trim!

Good to shoe , clip , travel etc.

Genuine reason for sale . This is a hard decision for owner so please no timewasters. Home will be vetted and must be able to keep in touch ..

Lady owner is 5ft 6 (Dressage show video) so she takes up plenty of leg! 

Can be seen Oswestry, Shropshire 

£9500 .. home priority so open to sensible discussions.

Meet Dandy, a cute pony looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Dandy would suit a home with other ponies with similar grazing needs to him. Due to his type he would suit a home with good restrictions.

Dandy is progressing well in his general handling. Dandy can be a little shy when he first meets new people, however, once he trusts you he will be your new best friend.

Dandy is good to enter the field with a extremely good around food. He plays a more submissive roll in the herd, making him the perfect addition to any horsey family.

Meet Sophie, a sweet-natured mare looking for her forever home as a non-ridden companion. Sophie is well-established in her basic handling and is good to catch, groom, pick out feet, and for both the vet and farrier.

Sophie is happiest living out 24/7 in a mixed herd and can stay alone for short periods once settled. She's a good doer, so will need restricted or sparse grazing to maintain a healthy weight. She would suit a home with similar grazing management and plenty of hay piles to avoid food-related tension with other horses.

Although Sophie isn't a ridden horse she will still make a lovely companion for another horse or pony.

Can you offer Sophie a loving home?

Meet Peanut, a cute young cob who is looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Peanut would suit a home where he can live out 24/7 and play with his other horsey friends.

Peanut would benefit from doing some in hand exercises due to being a weak baby cob, giving you the chance to bond and create a lasting relationship with him.

Peanut is currently living out 24/7 on restricted grazing. Peanut is a good doer, so will need restricted or sparse grazing to help him stay in good shape, so would suit a home with other ponies that need similar restrictions.

Can you offer Peanut a loving home?
