• Dartmoor
• Bay roan
• Mare
• 8 years
• 12 hands

• Loves hacking on and off lead rein, happily goes first or last, good with traffic
• Much adored, easy to do, best friend pony, never sick or sorry
• Won rosettes in lead rein gymkhana races and ridden classes, cross-pole jumping on and off lead rein

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.

• Strawberry roan
• Mare

• Moves beautifully and has competed successfully in dressage in her previous home
• Loves hacking, fun rides and endurance
• For loan to stay at present home

Lovely 14hh Welsh cross allrounder mare, 14yo for loan to stay at present home between Bath and Frome. A great chance for a competent friendly and commited person to have fun and enjoy this much loved little mare. Lightweight adult preferred (Approx 10st and under) Might suit somebody returning to riding or mother/daughter share. Luna is safe and sane, good to hack alone or in company and excellent in traffic and with low flying air craft.

She has looked after me, a veteran rider, very well for the last 7 years. She is a typical pony, greedy, quite sassy, and characterful and can be strong at times so not suitable for a novice. Loves hacking, fun rides and endurance. Grade 1 in her first novice competition. Moves beautifully and has competed successfully in dressage in her previous home. Good to handle in all ways.

Following an accident and surgery, I will not be riding again in the near future. But want Luna to stay here on our small farm where she is happy and an important member of our human and equine family. 

No charge for livery/keep, just pay for shoes/riding expenses and share horse care. Horses mainly live out, currently on a track system. Nice company to ride with good hacking on bridleways and lanes. Fields to ride in, small indoor school currently under renovation. We have a sensible older Highland pony also, so could suit 2 friends or mother/daughter. A golden opportunity for the right person to build a partnership with this lovely pony which could become long term.

• Full Up 14.2 - 15hh Max. Age 8-14 yrs
• A Gentle Natured, Polite Character
• Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type

I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

• Welsh Section A
• Grey
• Gelding
• 12 years
• 12 hands

• Striking pony with real presence
• Lovely movement and scopey jump
• Enjoys hacking both alone and in company

Jester moves beautifully in all three paces, with a balanced, comfortable canter and shows great scope and technique over a fence.

With us he has done pony club rallies and camp, small shows, dressage competitions and lots of hacking including beach rides. Previously he did a lot of showing. He had hardly jumped at all when we had him and was quite nervous but loves it now and is improving all the time. Has the potential to do a lot more with the right jockey!

He has been used as a lead rein with little ones but is a bit wasted doing that. More of a second pony off the lead as he can be spooky and try it on by napping and bucking. For this reason he just doesn't suit our very nervous, anxious daughter, though she is now out-growing him after 2 years. When a more confident child has ridden him, he doesn't play them up and shows his talent.

Good to load, catch, groom, bath and for the farrier (barefoot), vet and dentist.

No health issues and up-to-date with vaccinations and teeth.

Lives in or out all year round but you have to watch his weight!

Can be strong to lead in a headcollar, and pulls faces especially around food.

He is a real character to have around and often makes us laugh with his antics. We really want to find him the right home. Price includes tack and rugs.

Based in Gloucestershire.
