Betty is a pleasure to have around and has been in the same home for the last 2.5 years. She's lived on a farm so used to a busy environment.

She does suffer from very mild sweet itch which is controlled with a rug and feed supplement.

She isn't always a consistent show jumper as she doesn't enjoy the environment so if you're wanting to do lots of show jumping she isn't the pony for you.

Sad sale of much loved pony who is sadly outgrown.

Can come with extensive wardrobe including fitted saddle.

It's with heavy hearts that we offer our beautiful pony Daisy for sale. We've had the absolute pleasure of owning her for the past 2 1/2 years, she has been nothing but a joy - kind, easy and a true member of the family.

Sadly, my daughter has now outgrown her and it's time for Daisy to find her next loving home.

Daisy is a 13hh, 13-year-old part-bred Connemara mare.

She has taken part in all Pony Club activities - rallies, camps, musical ride team, showjumping, hunting and more.

She is excellent to load, catch, clip, farrier and is easy to handle in all ways.

Under saddle, she is forward-going and enjoys her work - she can be a bit speedy at times, but she is safe and always has brakes.

Daisy would be best suited to someone who enjoys an active riding life and is ready to have lots of fun with a well-loved pony.

100's of pictures and videos available.

This is a truly heartbreaking sale and we are in no rush - 5? home is an absolute must.

14yo Black Cob – Experienced Pony Club / All-Rounder

  • Gelding
  • 14 years

  • Proven ‘been there done it’ pony.
  • Loves his jumping!
  • Very capable second pony.
14-year-old black cob pony with a huge amount of experience and a genuine love for his job. He really has been there and done it: Pony Club, tetrathlon, hunting, and plenty of all-round riding.

He is a sensitive, intelligent pony who thrives with a quiet, experienced rider. Not a novice ride, but incredibly rewarding for someone who understands a thinking pony and enjoys building a partnership.

Jumping: Bold and enthusiastic, jumping up to 90cm, though happiest and most confident around 70–80cm. Absolutely loves to jump and will happily pop anything put in front of him, even nettles for fun!

Temperament: Kind and genuine, but sensitive.

Handling: Nervous around men and with clipping; with patient, gentle handling he does tolerate this and continues to improve. An experienced home is important.

Experience: Excellent mileage and knows his job in a variety of environments.

This is a pony who enjoys having a job to do and would suit an experienced home looking for a fun, forward, capable pony with plenty to offer. Very sad sale due to being outgrown.

Meet Gunner, a very handsome flea bitten grey who has done everything.

Beautifully schooled and excels in dressage he can turn his hand to anything. Done lots of PC, SJ up to 80cm, XC and WH.

Never bucks or rears, would suit a competent rider that is established in walk trot and canter. To avoid time wasters he’d be a 2nd pony not a 1st pony for a child just off leadrein.

Good to shoe, box etc. Serious enquiries only. Lots more photos and videos available.

Welsh A as LR or 1st/2nd for confident child

  • She is the perfect LR and with a more confident child also the perfect off lead pony.

  • Welsh Section A

  • She is the perfect LR and with a more confident child also the perfect off lead pony.
Very pretty, lovely moving pony. She is the perfect LR and with a more confident child also the perfect off lead pony.

We have had her since 2024, my 7 year old has now come off the lead with her but is a nervous rider.
Muffin needs a bit more confidence from her rider off lead, so very sadly we will have to part from this sweet little pony.

We have done everything with her - jumping (great for the little ones as doesn't over jump and is very bold), hacking, working hunter clinics, fun rides, hunt, bareback, even vaulting!
She probably would be a nice show pony (but we did not show as this is not my field).

She has just spent three weeks with Georgia and Sam Darlington in training livery who described her as a "push button" pony and said she was lovely and easy to ride. They are happy to be contacted about her.

She can be mareish with others and is very protective over her food.

She does pull faces but never ever acts on it - I fully trust her never to bite or kick.

She lives out with a mare and gelding, but is also happy to be stabled, although she is less mareish when living out.

She basically loads herself ;-), great with vet, farrier, dentist.

Barefoot.

Up to date with everything (I am a vet).

Doesn't come with tack

Will only go to an experienced home where she will be loved and treated as part of the family.

Please WA - serious enquiries only, no dealers.
This is very sad for my daughter and the correct home is essential, so pls don't get in touch unless you can give her that.

  • Experienced calm hunting pony wanted
  • Must be safe and quiet
  • Experienced long term home awaits

We're looking for an experienced hunting pony to hunt on and off the lead rein (with a walker), and on and off the lead rein next to a horse. If it can do camp and rallies too this is a bonus but not a necessity.

Must be experienced with busy packs and not fazed by it. We are looking for woah over go, a steady Eddie best friend for a keen but nervous hunting boy.

12-13.2hh - gelding. 7yrs+

This is the first boy, with two children coming on behind him so we expect to keep the pony in the family until the end of its days. Experienced home near Badminton awaits.

Trial period as well as hunting references will be required, we can provide lots of references for ourselves.

Healthy budget for the right pony, or loan considered.

Whatsapp best contact method.

  • Thousands of photos and videos available
14hh Welsh Cob (D) Mare 7 years old (August 2018)

Candy is a striking palomino who turns heads wherever she goes. She is a versatile, talented pony with lots to offer the right home.

She works nicely in an outline and is quick and agile against the clock. Candy enjoys her work and has the ability to turn her hoof to a variety of activities, making her suitable for Pony Club, riding club, or a mother/daughter share.

Out hacking she is excellent, confident in traffic, sensible in open spaces, and happy to go alone or in company, either first or last.

Candy would suit a confident, competent rider who is happy to give her clear, consistent handling. As a typical Welsh mare, she can occasionally show a bit of attitude on the ground (ears back, opinionated), but this is all faces and she has never been nasty. For this reason she wouldn't suit a novice or someone wanting a very cuddly, push-button pony, but she will thrive with someone who can bring out her best and enjoy her character.

She is up to date with farrier, vaccinations, and dentist. She is happy to live in or out and is good with both mares and geldings. Currently living at home with us, sharing a field and stable with another mare.

We have owned Candy for a year and know her full history since breaking, still in contact with her previous owner. Sadly, she has proven to be a little too much pony for our 10-year-old daughter, so this is a genuine and very reluctant sale to find her a home where she can truly excel.

Thousands of photos and videos available from our ownership and previously.

Based in East Yorkshire

Please get in touch for more information and to find out whether Candy could be the right match for you.

  • Quality allrounder

Jim is a beautiful Connemara part-bred This is a truly special pony! Just turned 6, he’s a real life Black Beauty! With show quality looks and confirmation along with the temperament to match! He’s loving and affectionate on the ground and the children do everything in the stable.

He is schooling well and popping a course of jumps confidently. Currently jumping around 60cm/70cm with scope for higher heights with more education. Enjoys jumping logs , going through water etc. Attended a pony club show jumping rally where he behaved impeccably .Attended a hunt meet on the lead-rein.

Now looking for a loving home and to begin his career with a capable jockey / we feel most suited to a teenager . Not suited for novices or young children as a first pony due to his age. We feel the best home is a knowledgeable home that can spend the time and patience to educate a youngster. This is reflected in the price. Unfortunately my son wishes to concentrate on show jumping with an older established pony, I can’t keep them all so had to make the difficult decision to part with Jim.

Jim loves hacking alone and in company without any issues. Ridden by a teenager twice a week (schooling , jumping and hacking , cross -country ) and then by my young children.

Currently in at night and out by day, he loves his comforts . Can be with others or on his own in a paddock. Easy to catch and turn out by children. Amazing manners in traffic etc, first or last and not spooky. Used to heavy farm machinery and animals.

Excellent for the farrier, dentist vet easy to shoe, clip and load. The children brush, wash , tack up, load him etc - all groundwork done by the children.
Up-to-date with teeth, farrier, physio, vaccinations , worming.

Fit and ready to go. Strictly no time wasters. The right match and loving home is the most important thing to us.

  • Curious, engaged, personable type
I am looking for a new home for my beautiful 13hh (measured on stick) cob mare, age 10, very low mileage.

We bought her when she was 4/5 and have slowly backed her and introduced her to the (New) forest with lots of groundwork, lungeing and long lining. She is good with traffic, people, other ponies, dogs, horse flies (including crab flies), vet, farrier, dentist etc.

She can be stabled, trailered, easily caught (comes to call), handled, tacked, rugged and has been lightly ridden. Does not kick or bite and can be touched all over. She is a curious, playful, sensitive and interested pony, with a bit of a spark, that needs to be ridden on

We now feel she could really benefit from a lightweight, confident and experienced rider to take her to the next level of her journey under saddle.

Experienced, sensitive riders only, ideally those with prior experience of bringing on ponies under saddle as she gets confidence from handler.

Please no dealers, homes will be vetted, ideally looking for long-term home.

Teeth, feet (barefoot - although has been shod in past), vaccinations, physio are all up-to-date

Lives out, hardy, cheap to keep, has previously been stabled over night but not currently

Open to vetting
