*Unexpectedly back on the market due to change in buyers circumstances*

Sad sale of our much loved Poppy who we've owned for over a year and is now sadly outgrown. Green passport with full breeding.

During this time we've been active PC members attending many rallies and taking part in hacking, dressage, pony camp, events, shows, fun rides and natural horsemanship.

At her previous home of 4 years she also did a wide variety of activities as a first pony for a very confident child including SJ and games.

Poppy is fantastic on the ground and children can easily handle her, tack her up and load.

She's loves her work, with plenty of scope to give a confident child lots of fun and experience. We haven't hunted her or done XC off lead but am sure she would be brilliant at it too.

Poppy is safe and has never bucked, bitten, barged, bronked, reared, span, bolted or anything nasty
Snaffle mouthed with excellent brakes
Hacks alone and in company
Travels well can be loaded by children
Easy to do in all ways
Doesn't fizz up if not ridden in a while
Never had lami, sweet itch
Up to date with everything

She has been a first pony for us but is a forward-going responsive ride and thrives with an established rider. Would suit a child or small teen looking to have fun, progress, and enjoy all round activities.

Poppy comes with fitted Thorowgood saddle, bridle, rugs and accessories, all ready for a child to go out and have fun!

5 star Homes will be vetted. References for Poppy can be provided from qualified PC professionals.

Bear - 14.2hh 9yo Cob Gelding - Fun, Kind & Full of Character

  • Hacks alone & in company, great in traffic, ride & lead, bareback & pub rides
  • Easy to manage, good with kids, dogs, machinery. Lives in/out & with others

Bear is a super fun and genuine pony with a great personality. He is a real favourite on the yard - affectionate, kind, cheeky and always wanting to be involved. He quickly becomes part of the family and loves a fuss and attention.

He has competed successfully in unaffiliated showjumping and arena eventing, including wins at arena eventing, and has qualified for the BE ACE Championships. In a previous home he enjoyed Pony Club activities, Pony Club camp, showjumping and beach rides.

Bear hacks alone or in company, is good in traffic and in open spaces. He is regularly used to ride and lead, enjoys pub rides and will happily stand quietly while everyone stops for a drink, soaking up the attention from passers-by who inevitably stop to give him a fuss! He has also been ridden bareback. He is used to a busy yard environment and is great with children, dogs, sheep, farm machinery and general hustle and bustle.

He has lovely, correct paces and would do a sweet dressage test, along with a neat, rhythmical jump. He has produced double clears at 70cm and has been schooled comfortably over 80cm+, showing ability to continue progressing if his new jockey wishes. He has cross-country schooled confidently, happily jumping water, ditches, steps and other questions.

Bear has previously spent time in a riding school; however, he much prefers having his own person and thrives in a more knowledgeable home where he can continue to develop and build a partnership with his rider. He is absolutely not nasty, but he is a bit too wise to enjoy life as a riding school pony.

On the ground he is easy and straightforward - good to catch, clip, groom, shoe and a pleasure to handle. He is very easy to manage, a very good doer, lives happily in or out, settles well with other horses and is happy living in a herd environment. He is currently barefoot but has previously been shod and is good for the farrier. He passed a full 5-stage vetting last year.

Although he has been owned and ridden by novices and many children, he is a fun and capable pony who would be best suited to a competent child with a knowledgeable family, teenager or small adult who can continue bringing out the best in him. He has happily done lead rein with tiny children; however, I feel he would be best suited as a confident second or third pony rather than a first ridden. A supportive family who appreciate a pony with a bit of character would be perfect.

This is a very sad sale as I had hoped to keep Bear for my future children. However, plans have changed and I feel he deserves the opportunity to be out enjoying life and making memories with someone else now, rather than waiting for a future that may be several years away. We have had so much fun together, built a wonderful bond and he has been an absolute joy to own.

I would love to stay in touch with his future owners and, if possible, would appreciate first refusal should he ever be sold in the future.

Only the very best home will be considered for this much-loved pony.

Turbo Cob “Dotty” – Fun, Forward and Ready for Adventures

Dotty is believed to be a Cob x Connemara mare with a fantastic attitude and a real love for her work.

If you enjoy hacking, jumping, beach rides, fun rides and cross-country, then Dotty could be your perfect partner. She is a straightforward, forward-going ride who is always keen to get on with the job. She is definitely more “go” than “whoa”, making her great fun whilst remaining sensible and safe.

Dotty has competed successfully with a young novice teenage rider up to 70cm and has proven to be genuine and confidence-giving. She enjoys her jumping and is always willing to try her best.

She is a super hack and has also been out on hound exercise, behaving brilliantly. She is showing all the qualities to make a fabulous hunting pony for the season ahead.

She is excellent in open spaces and is happy riding in larger groups of horses. Dotty has attended fun rides this summer and behaved impeccably throughout, taking everything in her stride and proving herself to be a sensible and enjoyable partner.

Cross-country schooling has highlighted her bold and willing nature. She confidently jumps ditches, timber, hedges and a variety of solid fences, taking everything in her stride.

On the flat, Dotty has basic schooling established without being overly green, giving her new owner a lovely foundation to continue progressing.

A genuine, fun-loving mare looking for an all-round home where she can continue to enjoy an active lifestyle and give her rider plenty of fun and confidence.

Beautiful 14.3hh New Forest Cross Mare – Exceptional Home Only

Skyler is a stunning 14.3hh New Forest cross mare, turned 5 in April, with a striking mix of white, chestnut and roan. She is sired by the Buckland Skyline and has been with me since a foal, so her full history is known and available.

She has been produced slowly, correctly, and never rushed — only by some of the best natural-horsemanship-based trainers in Oxfordshire. Her education has been thoughtful and consistent, giving her a wonderful foundation to continue progressing.

She had the recent winter off and is now back in training.

Sire: Buckland Skyline

Skyler is a lovely mare to ride, very forward going — she moves beautifully and has a naturally soft way about her. I hacked her all last summer, both in company and alone. She enjoys hacking and schooling (She has only done light schooling, due to age).
She is still young and learning, so she does take confidence from her rider. She thrives with someone calm, consistent, and knowledgeable who understands natural horsemanship principles. With the right partnership, she will continue to flourish.

She has been stabled previously but genuinely prefers living out with natural shelter. She is happiest in a routine and respects fencing and can share with mares or geldings.

Brand-new, professionally fitted saddle and bridle available to purchase with her if desired.

Currently based in Oxfordshire with my trainers due to lack of grazing livery where I live.

This is a very difficult decision, and she will only go to the best home. She is not a horse for just anyone — she needs someone who values correct, kind, horsemanship-based training and can offer her consistency as she continues her education.

Hundreds of photos and videos available. She is open to vetting.

Full passport.

She is a responsive ride who works well in the arena, happily walking, trotting and cantering, and is confident over poles. Dora is sensible and straightforward, with no spooky behaviour.

She has been used successfully in a riding school environment with both novice and intermediate riders, proving herself to be reliable and willing.

Dora hacks out confidently both alone and in company and is good to handle on the ground. She stands quietly for grooming, bathing and the farrier.

Due to her responsive nature, Dora would not be suitable for a complete beginner, but she would make an excellent second pony for a rider looking to progress and have fun.

Ruby is an eight-year-old roan bay mare Dartmoor Hill Pony, standing at approximately 120 cm. She is a genuine child’s pony – excellent on the lead rein but is also a good second/first pony. She is my granddaughter’s best friend and is much loved.

Heartbreaking sale owing to my unexpected health issues. Ideally seeking a knowledgeable home where Ruby can enjoy a range of activities with a new best friend and fulfil her promise as a fun, all-round, pony club type pony.

We have owned Ruby since August 2022, straight from her excellent breaking in by Tara Morris Equestrian. On the lead rein, Ruby carries small children with care. She responds to verbal instructions to walk, trot, whoa, and stand. In the last couple of years, she’s been ridden mainly by my eldest granddaughter as the other two have lost interest. Ruby is only ridden in the school holidays when my granddaughter comes to stay. After each six-week gap, Ruby does not need to be ridden by an adult or lunged – just a quick brush, tack on, and out we go. Ruby loves hacking and is happy to go in front or behind. I have also led her from my horse a couple of times. Ruby is very good with traffic on our local roads/lanes, including noisy farm vehicles, sometimes giving my horse a lead past some ‘monstrous’ vehicle! She is sensible on bridleway tracks and in open spaces.

Ruby has been to a few local shows, taking part successfully in leading rein ridden classes and gymkhana races. My granddaughter is learning to jump. She and Ruby have competed in a few classes on and off the lead rein. Ruby is less enthusiastic and relatively inexperienced in flat work in an arena and, given the chance, can drift towards the exit!

Ruby is a very good doer. She lives on a nearly bare paddock with hay or haylage provided at regular intervals during the day/at night. She has never had laminitis, nor has she ever been sick or sorry. She lives out generally though I tend to bring her in at night during bad weather in winter to let her dry off from the rain and to get her out of the mud. She is barefoot with fantastic feet. She is good with the farrier and dentist, and is up to date with teeth, feet and vaccines. Ruby is easy to catch, and she loads and travels well in our horsebox. My granddaughter does everything with her, such as grooming, picking up her feet, tacking up, and loading in the horsebox. She does not kick or bite. She is good with dogs.

Ruby is a pretty pony who changes colour with the seasons. She is bay roan in summer, a rich red bay in winter and nearly white with black points in the spring.

Serious enquiries only please for this very special pony.
