Bobby is a sweet, companion-only gelding who’s looking for a calm, understanding home. He’s a lovely boy who gets on brilliantly as a companion to other geldings, and although he currently lives out, he can part-stable if needed.

He’s a pony who really thrives on patience and kindness. Once he learns to trust his handler, he grows in confidence and his handling improves. He can stay alone as long as he’s in sight of others, and with time may manage being alone out of sight of others too, which makes him the ideal companion to a ridden horse.

As a native type, Bobby needs restricted grazing. He’ll flourish with someone who can give him time, consistency, and a gentle approach.

Meet Stitch, a sweet-natured cob who is looking for a kind, experienced home where he can continue to grow in confidence and enjoy life as a companion pony. Having come into our care from a private owner, Stitch is now settling into a new routine and currently lives out happily 24/7 with other geldings, where he enjoys the reassurance of herd life.

Stitch is a gentle pony who enjoys building connections with people and thrives with calm, patient handling. While he can initially feel unsure in unfamiliar situations, he is making lovely progress and is becoming more confident with everyday interaction and handling. Once he feels comfortable, Stitch shows a kind and affectionate side and enjoys spending time with those he trusts.

He is continuing to build confidence with new experiences, including routine care such as vet and farrier visits, and responds well to positive reinforcement and steady guidance. Stitch benefits from consistency, reassurance, and handlers who are happy to work at his pace and celebrate the small wins along the way.

Stitch would thrive in a quiet, understanding home with experienced and confident carers who can offer him a relaxed, routine-based lifestyle with plenty of turnout and equine companionship. With time, patience, and kindness, Stitch has all the potential to become a deeply rewarding companion and form a wonderful bond with his future home.

Sally is a charming young cob mare with a bright future ahead of her. She is still very much learning about the world, but she is already showing a kind and willing nature. Currently living out in a herd of both mares and geldings, she is used to a social environment and enjoys the company of other horses. Sally has recently begun learning to spend more time in a stable, and while she can be a little unsure at times, she is gradually settling into new routines.

In her handling, Sally is proving to be a sweet and genuine youngster. She is good to catch and will happily let you approach and put on her headcollar. She enjoys being groomed and handled, though like many young horses, she can fidget slightly and is still working on her balance, especially when picking up her feet. She is at the early stages of her education, so she will benefit from a patient and consistent handler who can continue building her confidence and basic groundwork skills.

Sally would make a lovely unbacked project for someone looking to bring on a young pony and develop a strong bond from the start. Due to her age and level of training, she will need an experienced home that can guide her through her next stages of learning. With time, patience, and the right support, Sally has all the potential to grow into a well-rounded and rewarding pony.

Cheerio is searching for a knowledgeable, compassionate home that can see her potential and is excited to help her grow into it. With her rescue history, she will need someone who understands the importance of taking things slowly, building trust, and giving her the steady foundations she may not have previously had. A calm, consistent environment where she can feel safe and understood will allow her confidence to continue to blossom.

She is a lovely future project for someone experienced and patient, with the skills to produce a young horse thoughtfully and correctly. She has the potential to mature to approximately 14.2hh, making her a versatile prospect for a range of disciplines in the future. For now, her focus should be on groundwork, handling, and positive early education to ensure she develops into a well-balanced and willing partner.

Cheerio will benefit from ongoing, kind training that prioritises correct basics - leading, standing, vet and farrier visits, loading, and gradually introducing new experiences in a positive way. As she progresses, she may go on to be ridden, but she will need someone committed to setting her up properly from the start. With time, patience, and thoughtful education, Cheerio has every chance to mature into a rewarding and capable companion for the right person.

Will is a lovely young cob looking for a quiet, private home where he can continue his education at his own pace towards becoming a ridden pony. He can be considered a sensitive project, so will require an experienced, patient handler to bring out his full potential. Due to his size, he would be best suited to a child.

Kind and gentle by nature, Will enjoys a calm, consistent routine and would thrive in a home where he can build confidence and trust. He would also be well suited to in-hand showing, where he can really shine as a smart young cob.

A hardy type, Will is happy living out with geldings. Still settling into his current routine, Will is looking for someone willing to give him time and understanding. In the right home, he has the potential to develop into a rewarding ridden pony as well as a lovely companion.
