Competition pony


Ref #: 402693
  • She’s keen fun and doesn’t stop
  • She’s easy to do in everyway
  • Requires a jockey that loves speed as much as she does

  • She’s keen fun and doesn’t stop
  • She’s easy to do in everyway
  • Requires a jockey that loves speed as much as she does

11.2hh, Registered section a, 12 yo mare. What a legend of a pony and a super hard sell. Purchased whilst my daughter’s pony was out of work. She proved much more talented that what we imagined.

She needs a jockey not a passenger, someone that loves speed as much as she does.

She jumps anything, that’s her forte! She’s talented and brave. Confident over fillers, rustic and sj.

She’s ready to register.

She hacks alone or in company.

She’s perfect to trim, box, clip etc.

Absolutely no novices or nervous Nellie’s, she hates it when someone looses their balances or squeaks/shouts at her.

A super talented pony on a budget that needs a knowledgeable home and jockey. Some family will be very lucky to purchase such a fab little pony.

I haven’t got a million videos or pictures but I am happy to box up for viewings and take her to arena hire somewhere.

The money is not overly important, if you call me and you sound the perfect home I’ll be more interested in that.

  • Quality allrounder
  • Blank canvas
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.

EX RDA pony with more to give

  • Bakeburn Will I Am
£9,000 ONO
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 13 years
  • 14.1 hands
  • Bakeburn Will I Am

13-year-old New Forest Gelding | 14.1hh (may measure 14.2hh with shoes)

Bakeburn Will I Am is a quality New Forest gelding with an excellent temperament and genuine talent, particularly for dressage.
He has had only three homes in his life and spent eight years at Lambourn RDA from the age of five. The chairman of the RDA, who also runs Lambourn RDA, felt he was simply too talented to remain in that environment, which is why he came to us last year.

As you would expect from an RDA pony, his ground manners are impeccable. Under saddle he is willing and straightforward, works easily into a correct outline, and naturally offers flying changes without fuss. He is keen to jump—still green but enthusiastic—and while he enjoys cross-country and was not strong, dressage is where he truly excels and shows obvious ability.

He hacks out alone, although he has more confidence with an adult walking nearby, which is understandable given his background. He is very sensible in company. Despite his RDA experience, he can be a little spooky with new things, but never in a nasty way, and he ignores many things that other ponies might react to.

In the field he enjoys company. He is currently turned out with a field mate but has also happily lived next to another pony. He is not dominant, very laid-back, and easy for a child to catch.

He is only for sale because hunting does not suit him; it excites him too much and he will not stand when the field stops. This is no reflection on his temperament or rideability in other disciplines.

A genuine, kind pony with excellent manners and real talent, looking for a home to focus on dressage and all-round activities.

Brilliant 13.1hh mare

If anyone is looking for a cracking 2nd pony look no further than Bess .

Bess turning 15 this year.

Brilliant in Traffic we are next to an industrial estate and often has to give leads
She hack alone or in company
Great in open fields .
Use to all farm traffic

Turns out with mares or geldings.

She works well in the school and moves very well - she rides bigger than what she is with a great stride.

She will happily pop around but she has not done a huge amount of jumping but with work has the ability there.

My parents brought Bess last year for my sisters children but unfortunately the interest is not there and she can go weeks without been ridden . She is currently being ridden by my daughter but she has two horses and we don’t have any smaller jockey’s .

We have taken Bess to pony club rallies in the Rain and snow she loads in the dark travels well on her own or in company. She’s done the pony club children meet on the lead rein .

Great for the children to do the sort you can tie up and leave them to do . Fantastic to clip !!

She’s bare foot - fab for the farrier with great feet . She’s up-to date with her vaccinations.

This pony needs a new best friend as she deserves it .

Please get in touch if you think she may be for you . She is a second pony for someone that wants to have fun . She will come with her tack.

Dorlyn Belle
14.2hh | 7-year-old registered British Riding Pony

Belle is an eye-catching pony with three correct paces and a willing attitude to work. She enjoys having a job.

She would be well suited to a competitive showing or dressage home or someone who wants to get out and have fun. Belle has the movement, presence and type to be competitive in showing classes. Eligible for part bred Arab classes. She has attended several dressage competitions, where she has placed every time, and is sensible away from home scoring 70+ on her first outing.

She has enjoyed jumping though this has not been my main focus. Belle has also been hunting on a handful of occasions, where she behaved well in the field and jumped when asked. Has attended many lessons,clinics and pleasure rides. Good to hack out alone and in company.

She travels foot-perfect in a horsebox. She hasn’t liked trailers.

Belle is very affectionate and enjoys attention. She thrives best in a home with routine and consistent work.

Not for a novice, needs a kind, confident person.

This is a very sad sale of a pony I have owned since a three year old, and is only for sale due to other commitment leading to Belle not being ridden as often as she needs. A genuine competition prospect for the right rider.

  • 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.

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.

Based at Rolleston Centre

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?

Some ponies are born to do a job & this one was certainly born to hunt.

Jackie, a funny, enjoyable pony with plenty of jump and ability.

Safe as houses to hunt, stands at the meet, sweet, easy and jumps anything. Would happily do gates. Give leads. Etc.

Beautiful paces - would make a nice showing type however she does prefer to jolly round the countryside.

Jumps any fence. Fun and straight forward. Good flat work with smart paces.

Good with ditches/water/steps. Hacks alone or in company

The more she does the better she’s becoming.

Fit & ready to tackle any country.
