  • Lovely temperament
  • Quiet enough for all the family to enjoy
  • Been hunting, hunter trials and show jumping competitions

A very attractive, 13.2HH (137cm), 5 year old (2021), bay New Forest Pony. She was backed in August 2025 and has been doing a variety of educational activities since, including hunter trials, hunting, showjumping competitions, showing, lots of hacking, and jump clinics.

She is quiet and straightforward with a lovely temperament. She loves to be groomed and made a fuss of. She lives out but was stabled at night between December and March, so is comfortable being in or out. She has been a lead rein pony for the smallest children and a safe hack for older children and adults. She has given a small adult that works for us the confidence to canter again!!

As we have taken her education slowly, she is competing at 60cm but is a careful jumper and on the lunge has jumped 90cm oxers and produces a good shape over the fence. She has three nice paces and is smart enough to do show/WHP classes in due course and is good to lunge, long rein and lead off another horse.

My daughter (16) has so enjoyed riding her over the past year but how has an apprenticeship with an event rider and can only take one pony. We are looking for an experienced, five star home to continue her education and who enjoys doing all pony club activities, fun rides, hunter trials etc.

She wears a snaffle, is excellent to clip, good with the farrier, always confident to load, travels in both a trailer and horsebox, and currently barefoot. She is good with the vet and up to date with teeth, annual injections, worming etc.

Her wardrobe (rugs, bridle, saddle etc) also available under separate negotiation.

More photos and videos available to send. Open to any vetting.

Scooby Doo – The Ultimate First Pony

Scooby Doo is the quietest, kindest and most sensible little pony you could ever wish to meet. He is exceptionally safe, with impeccable manners both under saddle and on the ground, making him the perfect first pony both on and off the lead rein.

He will happily walk, trot and canter beautifully on the lead rein for children taking their very first steps into riding. Off the lead rein, he is equally happy carrying riders who are holding the saddle handle while building confidence, as well as those riding independently. He truly has a young body with an old head on his shoulders. He is never spooky, sharp, strong or silly and always takes wonderful care of his riders.

Over the past 15 months, Scooby Doo has worked in a professional riding school where he has safely taught hundreds of children, from tiny tots aged just two years old through to more established young riders. He has patiently introduced countless children to walk, trot, canter and their very first jumps. He has three beautifully balanced, steady paces and responds exceptionally well to the voice, allowing beginners who are still holding the saddle handle to be guided confidently without needing rein contact.

Scooby has never bolted, reared, bitten or shown any nasty traits. He has the sweetest, kindest nature any parent could wish for. He IS NOT cheeky, mischievous or naughty like some little ponies can be. He greets everyone with his ears pricked forward, comes to call from the field and absolutely adores kisses, cuddles and attention. He truly is every child’s dream pony, with the most adorable little face that you simply can’t help but fall in love with.

He waits patiently in group lesson waiting for his turn, is equally well behaved in private lessons, and has taken part in our in-house competitions including Lead Rein classes, Handy Pony, Fancy Dress and Pony Club rallies.

He has a lovely snaffle mouth and requires no gadgets.

Scooby is affectionately known as our “large puppy dog” because of his incredibly affectionate, gentle and loyal personality. He adores people and will happily follow you around the yard without a headcollar or lead rope. He stands quietly to be groomed, bathed and fussed over, and genuinely loves attention.

His manners are second to none, allowing even the youngest children to confidently catch him from the field, lead him, groom him, pick out his feet, tack him up and care for him safely.

He is a firm favourite during our stable management courses and therapy sessions, where his calm, trustworthy nature allows children to build confidence while working independently.

Scooby is exceptional out hacking. He is completely unfazed by heavy, fast-moving traffic and has seen everything from articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors and trailers to motorbikes, bicycles, prams / trolleys and dogs, absolutely nothing fazes him.

He hacks confidently both alone and in company, happily leading or following. He is never strong, nappy or silly and is perfectly content to stay at the back of the ride without trying to overtake, maintaining whatever pace is asked of him. In open spaces he remains calm, relaxed and sensible. If the other horses canter away, Scooby is more than happy to stay behind with his rider, and he will patiently wait if the others return home ahead of him.

Scooby enjoys jumping and will happily pop a small course of coloured or rustic fences, both on and off the lead rein, always giving his rider confidence.

He is excellent to clip, catch, load, travel, shoe and stands perfectly for the dentist, farrier and vet. He loads first time, every time, travels impeccably and is an absolute pleasure to take out and about.

Scooby has recently passed our annual Riding School Licence inspection, carried out by a veterinary surgeon, which is comparable to a Stage 2 vetting.

During the entire time we have owned him, he has never been sick, lame, suffered from colic or required any time off through injury or illness. He is fit, healthy and in excellent condition, with no sarcoids, sweet itch, laminitis, lumps or bumps.

He is wonderfully low maintenance and doesn’t need riding every day. He can happily have four weeks off and return to work exactly as he left it, without any fuss or freshness. He currently works four days a week in our riding school and thoroughly enjoys his job. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We have several horses and ponies available for viewing.

Scooby has a very simple routine and is incredibly easy to keep. He has a basic diet of haylage when stabled and grass when turned out. He currently lives in a mixed herd of 25 horses, is stabled during the day when working and turned out overnight. Equally, he would be perfectly happy living out full-time or being stabled full-time. He is not clingy and is equally content living or turning out on his own if required.

Scooby is only available because we regularly rotate our riding school horses after around 12 months to two years. We strongly believe these wonderful ponies deserve the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one family home where they receive individual attention, more variety and plenty of fun adventures. They work incredibly hard teaching children and give so much of themselves every single day, so we feel they deserve the very best next chapter.

Whoever is lucky enough to buy Scooby will not just be purchasing a pony—they will be gaining a kind, genuine and utterly trustworthy family member who will give a child years of confidence, fun and unforgettable memories.

If you are GENUINELY interested please CALL or WhatsApp me.

🔥Super Sally🔥

14hh

14 yo

Mare

⭐Super Sally has been a true pleasure to own and certainly lives up to her name. We can't fault this pony and she will only go to a 5⭐ home. She is a Dilton bred warmblood x New Forest pony and has been a dream to own.

Sally is a genuine all rounder, her achievements include:

☑️Qualified and competed in the sunshine tour finishing in the top 10

☑️Regularly show jumped up to 90/1m comfortably

☑️Has BSJ points on record

☑️Has hunted successfully for a full season and loves it, never refused a hedge or fence.

☑️She loves cross country, is good with water and ditches.

☑️She has evented and done arena eventing.

☑️She was a very good pony club pony and throughout her time at pony club she was on the pony club show jumping team, barrel raced, and has done limited mounted games. She has been to multiple pc rallies, fundays and events and never failed to impress.

☑️Sally will perform a dressage test up to a high standard.

⭐Sally always behaved well at shows and will really look after her jockey and with kindness will jump the moon. She's always in the rosettes and we know we're guaranteed an enjoyable day when we take her out whichever discipline we're competing in.

⭐She has no malice towards owners but is a typical mare and enjoys her own space in turnout and yard although during a hunt, warm up ring etc she is brilliant, well behaved and very tolerant.

Sally is also good to:

⭐Catch

⭐Shoe

⭐Clip

⭐Travel

⭐Groom

⭐Wash

⭐Fly spray

She is happy to hack alone or in company. She thrives off routine and has been a dream pony to own. This is a reluctant sale but unfortunately I've grown too tall for her. Serious enquiries only

Lilly

Cracking All-Rounder / Happy Hacker / Pony Club / Competitions / Family Friend

Lilly is a kind, calm, safe, and steady Cob. She is a fantastic all-rounder, suited to a wide range of riders—whether you’re looking for a confidence-giver, a happy hacker, or a horse to enjoy fun rides, beach outings, and low-level competitions.

She has a gentle, easy-going personality, low maintenance. She will stand quietly at the mounting block without being held, waits patiently in her stable even with the door open, and is never pushy or strong. Lilly is ideal for solo riders, competent novice, or someone wanting a calm and reliable ride.

Lilly has three balanced paces and rides beautifully on the flat. She is calm and relaxed but responsive to the leg if asked – very sensible and never spooky, silly, sharp or strong.

Lilly has spent the last 12 months in a professional riding school setting where she has been ridden by all levels of children and adults, from complete beginners on the lead rein, competent novice off the lead rein, holding the handle on the saddle if required in trot and canter and advanced level riders, she will happily jump a course of small coloured and rustic fences, she always helps out her riders out if you come in on a bad stride, she is perfect for building up your confidence if you are inexperienced, nervous or need a horse to teach you the ropes, she participates in our in-house fun rides, jumping, cross country and low level dressage competitions.

She works in a lovely outline with three naturally balanced paces, she is schooled well on the flat, including lateral work and basic dressage movements. She has a bold, confident jump and would easily progress to a higher level with a competent rider. Lilly has the perfect balance of “go” when asked, but is equally happy to relax on a loose rein for a calm more whoa kind of ride. We are a very busy establishment with a lot go on, she takes everything in her stride working independently and within large group lessons, she is responsive to the leg when asked whilst remaining super sensible and calm.

She hacks out alone or in company. She is 100% safe in open spaces, does not rush home, pull or get strong, even after a canter or gallop, she will come straight back to walk on a loose rein. She is extremely confident in traffic, riding boldly and completely unfazed by extremely busy fast moving traffic including double decker buses, articulated lorries, motorcycles, push bikes, prams, dogs, large farm machinery, she is not clingy with other horses, and will ride away from the herd without a second thought.

Lilly is excellent with the farrier (currently barefoot) equally happy to be shod, great to load, travel, dentist and has no vices in the stable or field. She is happy to live in or out and is equally settled in a herd or on her own. She is currently turned out at night and stabled during the day when in work, she is happy turned out full time. Currently working 4 days a week.

She doesn’t need riding every day and can be left for weeks or months without changing – no lunging needed, just tack up and go.

She has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps or bumps, not marish or clingy, no vices, she passes our annual licence inspection, which is equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.

Only for sale as we regularly rotate our horses giving them the chance to enjoy one-to-one attention in a private home. They undertake a lot of arena work within the riding school setting which can become repetitive and mentally uninteresting over time.

We are looking for a forever loving home where she can continue to thrive.

Being sold on behalf of a working livery.

We are also reducing stock so we have a few other horses and ponies also available.

13hh | Bay Mare | 2022 | Welsh Section C

A seriously pretty, flashy little mare who is nice enough to show, with lovely movement and plenty of presence. She has been produced slowly and correctly by a young rider and is now ready to find her own person. ❤️

🌳 THIS LITTLE MARE ABSOLUTELY LOVES HER HACKING! 🌳

Hacking is definitely one of her favourite things. She is happy, confident and forward-thinking out and about and has already seen an incredible amount for a young pony.

She hacks through rural villages /open countryside and fields and is great with traffic. She has been on a beach holiday, around Thetford Forest, through water, on fun rides and mini XC adventures. She genuinely seems to love getting out and exploring! 🥰

We would therefore absolutely love a hacking/fun home for her. Someone wanting a lovely pony to enjoy miles of hacking, fun rides, beach trips and adventures would suit her perfectly.

She has also done:

⭐️ Obstacle clinic
⭐️ Fun rides
⭐️ Beach holiday
⭐️ Thetford Forest trip including mini XC & river splash
⭐️ Mini XC course hire
⭐️ Polework
⭐️ Recently started jumping coloured fences and really enjoys it
⭐️ Schools nicely on the flat
⭐️ Rides & leads in walk, trot & canter
⭐️ Long reins & lunges
⭐️ Great to load
⭐️ Great to clip

She is lovely to handle, will stand for ages to be groomed and even parks herself at the mounting block 😂❤️

She is still a young mare with lots left to learn, so isn’t for a complete novice, but she is willing, genuine and has been given a fantastic start without being rushed.

She would make a super hacking/fun pony, allrounder, showing prospect or mother/daughter project.

🌟 A beautiful young mare who loves life, loves getting out and about and is ready to find her person to continue the adventures with. 🌟

Mounted Games, First Ridden Family Friend, True kids pony.

  • A True family pony
£9,500 ONO
  • Shetland
  • Piebald
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 11hh / 112cm
  • Mounted games (lease considered)
  • First Ridden
  • A True family pony

Cocoa is 8yrs. (Lots of videos on my FB, please whatsapp for link)

Bought as a mounted games pony and she has been the best thing I've ever bought. Her career has been fully devoted to mounted games until she came to us. She is just wonderful, she knows the games and knows what is expected. Stands 100% still on the start line, stands for the equipment, stands for a changeover, will trot for a vault or stand for a stirrup. The only race thats a no go is the balloon pop.

With us she has had a much more varied life, She's simply a wonderful kids pony with just enough shetland qualities to keep life fun, but never unsettling.

Shes done pony club camp, rallies, fancy dress, sponsored rides, and lots of mounted games both pony club and MGA.

Shes taken to jumping very well, I'd never claim shes a show jumper in any form but she will toddle round little poles and Cross poles all day long. She can still be green at fillers, she will stop once, but jump on the 2nd go, but once she's seen it once, you'll be good to go. She is a shetland and she has just enough of the breed that the child will have to ride and use leg encouragement.

She's got a forward going walk trot and canter which may feel fast at first but shes pretty much has just that one speed. Great in traffic and open feilds.

I owe cocoa the world so only the very best knowledgeable family homes will be considered. Good mounted games ponies are tricky to find so a home with an interest in games would be ideal.

I would possibly consider lease to the right home (2500 per year)

14.3 cob x Connie 5yr old.

Smurf will be sold as a project because of his age and has only been riding for 12 weeks, no fault of his own.

He was very straight forward to back and now confidently hacking out with a friend and walk, trot canter in the school. Just started working in an outline in walk and trot. He's forward and off your leg in the school and just started popping over coloured poles.

Because of his age and lack of experience he still gets his confidence from his rider, so he gets a little worried on solo hacks and traffic and can sometimes be a bit cheeky in the school. No rearing, bucking or bronking, can discuss further. I have no doubt with a few more miles on the clock he will outgrow this behaviour.

Smurf is very much a people's horse, loves attention, follows you around the field ideal for cuddles and being pampered he has alot of love to give and will go far in the right hands. No nervous or novices.

Fun and forward pony, ideal for confident child and/or small adult


Ref #: 416324
  • Versatile 1.5 or 2nd pony
  • Ridden and handled by children
  • Strong and solid and really takes up the leg
£4,800
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 12.3hh / 130cm
  • Versatile 1.5 or 2nd pony
  • Ridden and handled by children
  • Strong and solid and really takes up the leg

Hunter is a small pony with a big character. He will give his next person so much fun and affection, but he needs a confident rider/handler as he can be cheeky and strong if he thinks he can get away with it. You only need to let him know who's in charge though, and he'll do as he's asked.

He's a forward and willing pony who loves jumping and showing off his big canter. He is snaffle mouthed and has good brakes. During the last 3 years, he has been ridden by children of all abilities from 6-12 years, as part of a small riding school, including beginners on the lead and confident riders off‑lead.

My daughter (who is now 12yrs and approximately 5ft tall) has been riding him for the last year at the same yard, but having a pony of her own is proving to be too much right now. The hope was that Hunter would last her for many years to come, as he is such a versatile and solid little chap, who really takes up the leg well (I am 5'4" and ride him comfortably). So, as sad as it will be to let him go, we know that he is far too good and too much fun to be wasted!

Hunter would be ideal as a confident child's 1.5/2nd pony, all-rounder, small adult or mother-daughter share as he can turn his hoof to anything. He loves jumping, games, schooling, hacking, fancy dress and generally just having fun. He is great at join-up and will happily follow you around the arena over poles and around obstacles.

We have hacked him out in company (which he is more used to) and solo (with daughter riding and me walking), all of which he has taken in his stride. Great in traffic - we hack on fairly narrow country lanes with plenty of farm traffic, tractors, tankers, cars and he has always been very sensible.

This spring/summer we have taken him out to some local shows and in-hand classes with my daughter, where they placed every time with some really lovely feedback from the judges. One judge suggested he might make a good driving pony, though this isn't something we've tried. Given that showing was a new experience for him and us, he settled into the busy atmosphere quickly and behaved really well both in and out of the ring.

Hunter is easy to handle on the ground, though he might try and pull a small child to the best grass or haylage! He is patient when tied up, loves being groomed, bathed and clipped. He's great to catch, he'll come to see you in the paddock for scratches or just to investigate the wheelbarrow. He lives for scratches and really shows his appreciation! He is very friendly with both humans and horses and loves a fuss. Nobody can resist tickling his moustache over the stable door - he's a true yard favourite.

Hunter responds really well to a kind but firm approach in unfamiliar situations. He just likes to know what's going on, and if he's unsure, a little patience and reassurance goes a long way. He loads really well, but can get anxious when travelling, and dental visits aren't his favourite. However, he is great with the vet, and stands patiently for the farrier with a lick.

He is so easy to look after, barefoot all round and happily lives out with mares or geldings. He doesn't get upset if he's the last one left in the field. He's a very hardy type so can live out 24/7 and is equally happy being stabled overnight. We like to keep him clipped all year for riding as he has a thick coat, so we rug him in winter. He is an absolute dream to clip - he basically taught me how to do it!

Up to date with everything - vaccinations, farrier, dentist.

Comes with full wardrobe - tack and rugs.

Romeo is a lovely friendly chap who has been my nieces best friend for over 2 years, in that time he has gone from a green 4 year old to a lovely family pony 

He loves beach rides, hunting, exploring the countryside with friends and been to unaffiliated showjumping competitions where he has won a few ribbons up to 70 cm 

XCountry he is a machine proving to be very bold he is the type of pony who helps give a nervous kid confidence as will only go as fast as he is asked so in arena you could put a novice on him as he doesn't take offence to a wobbly rider 

Romeo lives off fresh air and has always been bare foot so very easy to keep 

He is very sadly for sale as is now outgrown after 2 and a bit years of being a little girls best friend 

Loads of pictures and videos available and can be tried in Kent open to any vetting

Joey is a superb pony, he loves to jump, has been well schooled, hacks out alone on roads, in orchards and open stubble fields. He's fine in light traffic but nervous with big vehicles.

Joey is good with the farrier, vet and dentist.

He has a big scopey jump and is better over slightly bigger courses of 80cm+.

He is not a novice ride, but has been used regularly in the SEMH school I work at for lessons, travelling there fir s sleepover once a week. Used on the lead and lunge with learners. Off lead with the more advanced teenagers riding him and hacking him out. We also went for a forest ride with them where he was a star, taking 3 riders round the tracks.

I have owned Joey from an 18 month baby, we have competed at a local level jumping, dressage, showing (inhand and ridden), gymkhana and attended riding clinics.

I am a 49year old adult and so have never taken him to affiliated level, but he is more than capable of this and that's my eush for him.

I am selling him due to lack of time, my youngster is now also under saddle and I am struggling to ride both regularly with work and a child!

He is good to load and travel, alone or with company.

Kept at home in Norfolk.

This gorgeous boy is looking for a new, loving home. Olly is fantastic in the right hands, but is not a novice ride. He has spent the summer on loan to a friend, and with his young rider (11) has won many accolades, including Pony Club Camp Best Turned Out and Reivers Week Best Turned Out. At the Berwickshire Show he gained 1st in 85cm Working Hunter and was overall Working Hunter Champion.

He is a good, honest jumper and has enjoyed hunting in the past. Olly can be seen at the Lauderdale Show on August 22nd and is available for sale from the end of August.

Olly is very sweet-natured and perfect to do all ways on the ground. Loads well, unfazed by farrier, clipping, vet, traffic, dogs.

Very gentle and generally a lovely guy to have around. Reluctant sale so will only go to a 5* home.

  • 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 is 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 is not an issue.

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

All leads will be handled with discretion. Please feel free to give me a call, drop me a WhatsApp or check out my Instagram page @theponysearchagent

Beautiful 14hh, 11-year-old cob mare looking for a knowledgeable, loving forever home.

She is a kind mare with a lovely character and is a pleasure to have around the yard. She is good to catch, groom, tack up, load, travel and for the farrier and dentist.

She enjoys getting out and about and has attended Pony Club camp, rallies, fun rides, beach rides and is used to a variety of environments. She enjoys hacking and is ridden by a 13 year old on her own.

She would suit someone looking for a fun all-rounder to enjoy a variety of activities together.

She is an intelligent, opinionated mare and can be mareish at times. She benefits from a confident, capable rider who understands her. She can be sensitive and will occasionally test her rider, so she is not a suitable novice or first pony. With the right person, she is great fun and has plenty to offer.

She is up to date with vaccinations, worming, chiropractor, dentist and farrier.

This is a genuine and very sad sale of a much-loved pony. Experienced, knowledgeable home absolutely essential.

Lenny is a lovely 4-year-old Gypsy Cob gelding standing approximately 13hh.

He is a young pony with plenty of potential and a fantastic attitude towards learning. Lenny has been regularly lunged and long-lined had harness on and saddle but no rider to back him fully, is proving very keen and willing in his work. He enjoys having a job to do and is always eager to learn something new.

He is up to date with the farrier, being trimmed every 6 weeks, and receives regular physiotherapy every 3 months to keep him in excellent condition.

Lenny is a real character, kind but strong, he needs an experienced home who can continue his education and unlock his full potential.

A genuine sale of a much-loved pony who will make a fantastic partner for the right home.

Ahey Bridge 45th (River)🌟

Beautiful 6-year-old Class 1 Connemara mare, measured at 148cm, with an exceptional temperament and the ability to turn her hoof to absolutely anything.

By Lough Melvin Paddy out of an I Love You Melody mare, River has superb performance breeding, including Cuchullain, Abbeyleix Owen and Temblebready Fear Bui.

✔️ Class 1 Connemara

✔️ Measured 148cm

✔️ N/N hoof wall

✔️ Up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth and physio

✔️ Brave, willing and exceptionally straightforward

✔️ Never bucks or rears

✔️ Quiet to shoe, box and clip

✔️ Can be left off for weeks and brought back into work without issue

River has been carefully produced since being purchased as a 3-year-old, with her future always in mind. She has never been pushed beyond her limits and has been given plenty of time to mature and develop correctly.

She has a fantastic amount of experience for her age and has competed in Pony Club rallies, showjumping, eventing, dressage and working hunter, as well as having been hunting and taking part in plenty of fun rides. She has also been successfully ridden side saddle, adding to her already impressive versatility.

She is happily jumping 80/90cm courses with plenty of scope to progress further, while equally being happy to take a less experienced rider around smaller fences. She is incredibly versatile and would make a fantastic Pony Club, all-rounder or competition pony.

River has been broken and produced by a small lady rider and has also been ridden by teenagers. She is a genuinely honest mare who is very easy to have around and has been a huge part of the family.

She would also make a fantastic broodmare in the future for someone looking to breed true-to-type performance Connemaras.

This is an incredibly difficult sale as River has been part of the family and has given us so many happy memories. However, with limited space and time, alongside young horses coming in to be broken, it is time for River to find her next home where she can make someone else as happy as she has made us.

Experienced home only as we feel River has not yet reached her full potential and would love to see her continue to progress with her new owners.
