14.2 6yo Irish Sports Pony

Friday is a versatile pony looking for a lower-key home. Safe enough for a competent novice and would suit a mother/daughter share.

Good to hack alone or in company and unfazed by heavy traffic including lorries, motorbikes, bikes, dogs, prams and farm machinery. Happy cantering across open fields and sensible in all positions of the ride.

Attended dressage, SJ and XC training/competitions giving him a lovely all-round education.

Exceptional manners – good for farrier, dentist, vet, loading, travelling, grooming, bathing and catching.

This is an incredibly sad sale of a much-loved pony. We feel Friday would be happiest in a lower-key lifestyle with someone who enjoys hacking, fun rides and dressage. While he has experienced jumping, it’s fair to say it isn’t his passion, so we would love to find him a home where he can enjoy the activities he truly thrives in.

Low mileage, 11.2hh, Registered, 9 year old, welsh section A gelding. Needs a new home due to lack of a jockey and time.

Up to date with jabs, teeth, worming, farrier.

Good to load and catch.

This is a pony with an engine who needs a job. He is forward, sensitive, and at his best when worked and thrives from doing a job. Is a little green and can be fizzy with a little Welsh sass! Requires a confident jockey. Not a first ridden.

Benefits from regular turn out. Would possibly suit a family with children at different levels of experience or an accomplished, gutsy little jockey looking for a games/gymkhana pony or show jumper.

Priced to sell, experienced and knowledgeable home only.

Cute 12.3hh piebald mare 11yo

She has been used in the riding school for the past few years, she has attended little shows, beach rides, camps etc.

Domino is an ideal second pony for a child who has learnt to ride and now wants to go off and have fun. she is happily jumping 70cm, great to hack and really wants to please.

Sadly she isn't suiting lots of different riders and would be much better suited as a one to one home.

Excellent to handle and do, no vices, sad sale.

  • Great for children to handle
  • Has a good varied CV

12hh 13 years mare. Skye has been in the same home for the last 5 years where she has taken part in all PC activities, mounted games, showing, funrides, pony racing and hunting.

On the ground she can be handled by all the family with good manners.

Shes a super hack, bombproof in traffic and goes infront or behind.

In the school she’s a responsive but not strong ride (snaffle mouthed).

Has excelled in the show ring with lots of positive feedback.

Takes the leg up well so would suit a taller older child too.

She can be a typical cheeky pony on the odd occasion so is more of a second pony off of the lead rein, however there’s no malice or dirtiness in her. Just likes to get on with it when doing something very exciting!

Likes her work and always keen to please.
Will plod around or step it up a gear.

No injuries, open to any vetting.

Unfortunately she does head shake slightly. But it is better with a nose net on.

Home is more important than price for this lovely little pony and a LWVTB would be considered.

Based much wenlock

Popcorn

She’s absolutely the easiest pony we have ever owned. Truthfully we are busy people running a large yard of horses lots being young and green so our time is very limited, this is where popcorn is ideal for us we can leave her in the field all week and just pop her on the lorry at the weekend chuck the rider on who is 10y and only rides her at shows and jump our class. She always goes round and produces clear rounds at stepping stones and springboard. She’s carful as a cat.

She goes best this way so would be best suited too a family with multiple ponies that they can do all the other stuff with and just use popcorn for lessons and shows. She does hack out but is definitely not for a novice as can get excited.

In the school on lessons and at shows she’s a schoolmaster too teach kids ring craft. She is a bs pony so id rather kids who can walk trot canter and jump already with a balanced seat,

Easy at shows you don’t know you have her.

Easy on the yard.

Easy too box shoe catch clip.
Possibly will jump winters with a last year stronger legged kid who can creat a big uphill canter.


Stunning Lead Rein / First Ridden Pony

  • Handled by Children of various ages, safe for the tiniest tot on lead rein!
  • Wonderful pony who will be sorely missed.
Stunning 12hh Welsh Section A Gelding. Chestnut roan with 4 whites and a flaxen mane and tail- stands out in a crowd and would do well in the show ring. Stocky and takes up the leg well but not heavy.

Cracker has taken my daughter from being on the lead rein nervous to cantering around open fields, first shows, and taught her everything she knows. He is easy for children to catch, groom, clip, load (trailer or box), and is as good as gold in all ways. He is barefoot with sturdy feet and has never needed shoes, he is good with the farrier. Loves to hack out either alone or in company and isnt spooky, good with all traffic

On the lead rein, he is the most fantastic pony, one that mothers dream of! He is so good in all ways at all paces and looks after the tiniest tots bobbling around and flapping about. Happy to have kids doing the macarena/around the world etc and doesnt bat an eyelid. Cracker is good to be led from other horses or people at all speeds and this is where he really excells.

Off the lead rein, Cracker is more woah than go generally. He needs leg to get moving but does go. When out and about hes usually slightly more forward but isnt silly. He doesnt hot up if being ridden in a field rather than the school and really enjoys variety. He has done pony club activities, shows and arena hires. He enjoys xc and is good over ditches. Absolutely loves hacking. He adjusts to the rider he has on his back and reacts accordingly.

Cracker is only for sale as he has been sadly outgrown and my second daughter has minimal interest. We have had him for 3 wonderful years. He would suit a family with a couple of children to help bring them on through the ranks. We think very highly of this little pony and want him to be as loved in his next home as he has been with us.

Cracker has never had laminitis to our knowledge and has always been sound without any medical issues. He does need suncream on his nose in summer but otherwise is very low maintainence.

Will come with all his tack, boots etc and extensive wardrobe.

Winnie 
14hh | 8yo | Cob Mare

The ultimate mother’s dream hacking pony 

Winnie is absolutely bombproof out hacking and is solid in even the heaviest traffic — including farm machinery, irrigators, lorries, tractors etc. She is the sort you can put absolutely anyone on; toddler, mum, dad, grandma… and know they’ll be safe! She is a genuine confidence giver and one of the safest ponies I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. She will hack out all day alone or happily hang out at the back in company!

She is the sweetest little mare to handle and adore. Easy to do in every way, although she can pull a few faces when girthing up — nothing nasty, just typical mare behaviour.

In the school Winnie is still green and, off the lead rein, can occasionally be a little cheeky. For this reason she would not suit a complete novice rider off lead rein. However, she is an absolute saint on the lead rein and would happily carry any little one safely around all day long. In her previous home she was a trusted lead rein pony for an autistic child.

She would also make a fantastic second pony for a more confident child!

Winnie is not limited to being just a child’s pony either — I regularly keep her fit hacking throughout the week as a 5’9”, 80kg woman and she carries me with ease.

This is an extremely sad sale, but she is simply too big and wide for my daughter, who struggles to get her forwards as her skinny legs only just reach past the saddle!

Because of this, I would consider swaps for a smaller, finer safe child’s pony that she can get her leg around!

Perfect to load, travel, farrier. Needs sedation for clipping. Totally barefoot. Up to date with all vaccinations & worming.

Serious enquiries only please

£7,250
  • Connemara
  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 18 years
  • 14.2 hands
  • Pony club allrounder
  • Qualified NPS summer champs
  • True family pony

Class 1 Connemara mare by the legendary: I Love You Melody. Fit and healthy, no health problems, no melanomas, no vices. She looks and feels incredible for her age!

Clara is a true family pony and can be ridden by anyone from tiny tots on the lead rein to competitive adults. She is versatile and well schooled across a variety of disciplines. So far this year Clara has done unaffiliated dressage winning the novice class on her most recent outing. She has been showjumping with a 9yo and 12yo, latterly winning the unaffiliated 70cm. At home Clara is happily schooling over 80/90cm but easily capable of doing more. She has been cross country and done pony club with a 12yo. Clara has had good success showing, qualifying for NPS summer champs and placing 3rd in RIHS qualifier. She has hunted and is fantastic on the open forest and tolerates the crab flies. She is great on the roads and good with traffic.

For riding at home Clara is suitable to be ridden by all members of the family including younger jockeys, elderly and para riders. Out competing she is well suited to a competitive teenager, as she is a capable and talented Connemara; she is not a ‘dope on a rope’ or a first pony. She knows how to step up a gear and whizz round a jump off (which she loves doing!)

Clara has a wonderful temperament, beautiful manners and is a pleasure to do anything with. She loads herself in the trailer and will stand on the box all day. She is perfect to catch, clip, bath, load, farrier, vet, anything you can think of. She is even clean and tidy in the stable!

I can’t praise this pony highly enough. She would be ideal for a mother daughter share, or would be a super competition/teams pony for a teenager or experienced 11/12yo rider.
I’m very sorry but I will not be inviting enquiries from first time horse owners unless you have loaned/part loaned for a significant time and can provide references.

This is a very genuine sale so a 2 week trial is encouraged to make sure she finds the right match, but I will be very selective about where she goes. Genuine enquiries only please by phone call.

Bobby is a kind boy. He enjoys hacking out - on his own and with others. He prefers to live out with a friend, but has been stables in the past.

He is up to date with vaccinations, etc.

Bobby is confident, strong boy and would be more suited to an experienced rider.

We unfortunately need to sell Bobby in order to downsize to accommodate our younger daughter whom also wants to ride.

We would very much like him to go to the right home. Please get in touch if interested. More information can be shared about him if required, for example, registration and pedigree, etc.

Trevor is a 6 year old welsh cob gelding looking for his forever home.

Trevor requires an experienced home and is not suitable for a novice. He is still a little green and requires a confident rider to continue his education.

Trevor is showing promise with his jumping and with the right training could potentially excel in this in the future. Alternatively he is very handsome so could do well at showing.

Trevor has a great deal of potential and will make a fantastic pony for the right person, he is extremely friendly and loves people and animals. He is currently on a busy livery yard with an attached farm and riding school.

Trevor has been to shows and behaved impeccably, he has been to cross country and was good as gold although not keen on the water and we recently took him on holiday which he loved! Trevor hacks alone and in company and works well in the school. He is more whoa than go but once going has got a lovely fast canter!

Trevor can be stubborn and throw the odd little buck but we have been working on this and it is now few and far between, he is a very willing pony and once someone shows him the way he will give his all. With the right rider this handsome boy could really go far!!!

Trevor is up to date with all vaccinations, worming, dentist, physio, good for the farrier (currently shod on his fronts) and loads well.

Trevor is a very much loved member of our family and he will only go to the absolute best of homes. References may be requested. Viewings and vettings welcome.

Lots of videos and photos available. Please call to discuss further, no time wasters please. Videos and photos will only be sent after we have spoken and I feel you could potentially offer a suitable home.

Price includes tack and full wardrobe.
