Little weeney is now looking for her new home after being professionally broken then left to hack out over the past few weeks.

Super sweet on the ground, moves for fun and has been handled by children, Perfect for farrier dentist etc, great to clip stood there like a lamb.

Brave and willing when hacking out, schools nicely but is a little green in the school off the leadrein

For Sal on behalf of a client… Quality All-Round Children’s Pony 'Pingu

A genuine, much loved 10-year-old grey mare standing approx. 12hh, a true all-round children’s pony with an exceptional temperament and a wealth of experience.

Pingu is a kind, confidence-giving mare who is happy both on and off the lead rein and will ride quietly in company or go in front on her own. She has attended Pony Club rallies and activities, where she has always proved sensible, willing and easy for children to manage.

She has been well hunted in the Berkeley country, where she has shown herself to be bold, polite and mannerly with impeccable behaviour. A safe and trustworthy pony who enjoys her work and always tries to please.

Owned by the same family for the past three years, where she has been used for a small child to have fun and gain confidence. Very sadly offered for sale due to complete loss of interest from her rider, through no fault of her own.

Pingu would ideally suit a child wanting to progress from a first pony, or a family looking for a safe, versatile pony for all Pony Club, hunting and general fun. She has a kind nature and is straightforward in every way — good to catch, groom, clip, load, travel, trim and handle.

A very special little mare who is greatly loved and will only be sold to the very best of homes. Owner would like to keep in touch.

Full wardrobe included
Plenty of photos and videos available on request

Sadly looking for a new home for Tiggy…

Tiggy is a beautiful pony inside and out and loves people and attention!

Tiggy is a brilliant mix of fun but safe. She is not a kick a long- she listens to the leg.

She is well schooled and competed at regional and national level dressage quest in her previous home. She has been in pony club homes her whole life and is brilliant out and about and never phased by new places.

She is fantastic out hacking - Not spooky and sensible in open spaces.

Lead rein- Very polite on the lead rein. She jumps nicely and did all pony club activities successfully on the lead rein in her previous home. Will happily be lead off another horse.

Tiggy is excellent to catch, groom and for the farrier, vet. Never bitten or kicked. No health issues or history of lami.

She lives out 24/7 with us but is also happy in a stable. She does need company in the field either with her or next to her.

A dream childs pony in the making

George is a homebred pony, that has always been well handled & shown in hand as a youngster.

His dam is Bradmore Tinkerbell, grand dam is Deanhills Fairystory, and his sire is the Super Premium Dartmoor stallion Cayberry Final Salute. Registered with the NPS and eligible to be registered part bred Dartmoor. He is a 4 year old gelding, approx 12.2hands.

Lovely put together pony.

George has been broken and is going sweetly & is happy being handled by a tiny child. He is snaffle mouthed and has a lovely nature. He has been shown under saddle in a lead rein class where he behaved impeccably with a tiny jockey. He really isn’t phased by an atmosphere.

Will make a lovely show/dressage pony.

Due to his age & only just having being broken he is not suitable for a novice, but has proven to be a true child’s pony. Is only for sale as we have no jockey.

Lots of pictures & videos available to serious enquiries.

Meet our Bubbles - Full bred New Forest 13.2 5 year old Gelding. This little fella can do it all.

He happily takes the kids around on lead rein never over jumping to do the x pole class,

He can then change to a slightly older child and jump around 40/50cm straight poles & change again and jump a bigger class or go xc with a more advanced rider.

He really is the ultimate family pony, and he’s ready to find his new place in one where he enjoys all the love & attention in the ground equally as much when being ridden.

He’s good with the farrier, good to catch, load and travel. Loves to hack.

No vices.

Jack is a stunning young pony, black, 4 white socks. 5yo Gelding.

Jack has been completely produced by a now 10yo girl who has sadly outgrown him.

He has done Dressage and Showjumping competitions as well as Cross Country Schooling, polo cross and mounted games at pony club camp too.

He is totally a childs pony to handle and do, never strong to lead etc.

Jack is still young so no complete novice homes please. He is fab for a child to ride off the leadrein and never strong, he just lacks abit of confidence jumping fillers with a small child but we feel this is just a case of getting out and doing more arena hires, shows etc. Cross country he is fab.

Jack has tonnes of scope and easily pops 70cm at home with his 10yo jockey.

We really feel this pony is going to come into his own over the next few years, we have just run out of time with him!

No vices, good to Hack, for farrier etc.

  • Child's best friend

Rusty is a lovely, kind, gentle 1st pony type. Brave, not spooky, loves people, horses, dogs and knows his job. He's previously done dressage and shown successfully qualifying for and attended STARS.

We have done all pc activities, camp, hacking, lessons, farm rides. He'll have a try at anything with no fuss or bother including working equitation and horse ball. A real yard favourite that all the kids love.

Over the past 2 years Rusty has brought my son on from being a very nervous just off lead rein rider, to being an established, neat little rider, cantering in open fields and jumping small xc jumps confidently. Never spooky, nappy or strong and looks after his rider.

Great to do, a really easy pony to have around.

He has mild arthritis in right hock and I will disclose x-rays and vet history to serious enquiries. This has never been a problem and has never prevented us from being able to do anything. Managed with 1/2 danilon a day. He's never going to be a big jumping pony, his forte is being an excellent first pony to get little riders established and have fun. Could also be great for a dressage/ showing home.

Very sad sale of much loved pony.
All tack and rugs included.
No loans.

Rising 4 year old (5th May)

Welsh section c gelding

12hh

Rupert hasn't long been backed by myself.
Walk, trots and canters just lacks balance but to be expected.
Mostly done road work as I dont like to over school at this stage of their education.

I personally think this little fella will make a fab WHP in the right home.
Can be forward but nothing nasty, not really spooky just loves his work.

He has only been ridden by myself so won't be suitable for a novice nor will he be sold to a novice home.

He has an amazing jump in him.

Super talented little lad.

His sire has been to HOYS in the workers and his dam was broke for driving.

Upto date with feet, teeth and worming.

Wanted top class show pony on loan

Looking for a 12.2hh/128cm show pony on loan, would also consider a show hunter pony, for a kind, confident and competent 10 year old girl.

She has lovely hands and a decent seat and years of showing experience at a high level, but most of all Absolutely worships her ponies!

Can provide lots of references

Pony would want for nothing and be cared for by her very knowledgeable/ experienced mum who still Competes herself and has ridden at Rihs/hoys multiple times.

The pony would also be based on the yard of a multi listed panel judge.

Idyllic pony , green passport

Been there done it type of pony, in his early years he done lots of in hand showing and first ridden classes , active member of pony club , mounted games, horseball , rallies, XC , polework clinics ,musical rides, showing, stay away shows .

Great pony for kids to learn to ride . He will take your child from lead rein to first ridden

We bought Clive as a first ridden for my daughter who was more independently coming off the lead rein . He has been the best next step pony for her and he is just the most honest and safe pony who will look after his little rider, Has done lots of hacking around and about , goes past tractors , all farm animals , safe with dogs running around. He will step up for an older rider or down for the little rider . He prefers XC rather than showjumping , but will equally happy go over a little course with a leader , following or an older child .

Never sick or sorry, lives on fresh air, currently living out in a herd. Happy to be stabled or shelter . Loves a bath, and good for farrier , clipping he does need sedation , he has had bad previous experience from being twitched . He is good for farrier and does need a lady vet and someone who doesn’t come in and try and stick a needle in him without first giving him some fuss and treats . (Has only ever needed vaccs and teeth doing!) he loads and travels brilliantly. Has stayed out at shows , you can take him to different environments and he is just the same . He is barefoot and up to date with vaccs, worming, teeth and comes with tack (beautiful new saddle fitted ) and rugs.

He is comfortable will all farm machinery and a variety of animals! Snaffle mouthed and never strong or silly , so happy out and about hacking too and loves looking after his little riders out in open spaces . Never changes if left for a week or two and then be ridden . He can be protective of his hay and happy when left alone to eat . He will pull a face to tell you to leave him alone to eat . Never a problem for us. Great to catch .

Very calm in the stable and field, not worried about being on his own. He in his element when he attends pony club with his fellow pony friends . Active member of pony club so always out and about . He has the best character . I can honestly say he has been the best confidence giver ever and this is why we have now come to the point that my daughter would like to take the next step pony , no other reason than my daughter wants to progress from a steady boy who has given her the best confidence from that transition from lead rein . I can’t thank this pony enough for where he has got my daughter too .

Happy to answer any questions you may have , only the best home for this boy

If you’re looking for a safe confidence giving starter pony he is the best .

Please only enquire if you are actively looking for a pony.

Malcom is a super sweet natured and easy to have around.

On the flat he is responsive to your leg and has nice forward paces but is still very much more kick than pull.

He happily pops around a small course of fences including fillers. He’s never spooky. He’s a real confidence giving type.

To hack Malcom will go up the main road alone and in company, in front or behind. He’s not bothered by lorries or fast cars. He’s passed building sites with moving machinery not battering an eyelid.

For the past 3 years Malcom has been with a young girl in a pony club home. He’s been to unaffiliated shows and regularly placed. Sad sale due to school commitments and outgrown.

He’s an absolute saint for the farrier, easy to clip, load, travel, catch etc

Malcom would make someone very happy and will them with confidence.

He would make a great addition to someone’s riding school, RDA, low level all rounder or happy hacker.

Malcom is sold with a full wardrobe of rugs, bridle and fitted saddle.


4yo Registered Shetland Pony Mare with exceptional breeding - 39" tall - Lattie

4yo Registered Shetland pony mare with exceptional breeding lines - 39inches tall.

Lattie has been professionally started - long reins, lunges and is happy with a little jockey on board wandering around the yard.

Good with dogs, kids, loads, travels & well behaved at arena hires (indoor and outdoor). She has bags of potential and will make top class M&M/LR with someone who is willing to further her education.

We purchased her from Clare Connor in December 2025 for our daughter who’s had a huge growth spurt and is even looking big on her 12.2 pony so we feel it is best to find Lattie a knowledgable home with a little jockey to build a partnership from the beginning.

Welsh Section B (2018)
Wortley Lemon Drizzle – “Crumpet”

A scopey, talented and extremely versatile competition pony with an exciting future ahead. Crumpet is the type to step up with a capable jockey to jump and compete seriously, yet is kind enough to step down for smaller riders when needed.

She has successfully competed on the lead rein and off. She will plait up and trim up as a very smart SHP, making her hugely versatile across showing categories.

Crumpet spent her early years predominantly in the show ring, consistently achieving wins and championships on the flat and in WHP classes. Alongside her showing career, she has competed confidently in showjumping up to 85cm, and produces a sweet, rhythmical dressage test with consistently high collective marks.

2025 Highlights:
• Winner of Showjumping & WHP at ESUK
• Winner of the WHP & M&M Points League at Selston EC

Our rider is 15, small but mighty, and rides her correctly from leg to hand. With a smaller or less experienced jockey she will happily go on the buckle and can feel a little laid back, but once switched on she stays in front of the leg and offers a balanced, rideable and competitive feel. She is not a first pony, but in the right hands will continue to shine.

She is excellent to hack, letting you get on and off to make jumps in the woods, splashing through streams, cantering on stubble and thoroughly enjoying varied activities. She thrives on being busy and having a job.

She would be the perfect competitive all-round pony for an ambitious rider wanting to do a bit of everything. If showing was the chosen discipline, she would be a serious contender for STARS and higher level competition should her next jockey wish to pursue it. Full brother to Wortly Warrior.

 Good to box, catch and for the farrier
 Will stand all day to be brushed and pampered
 Ticklish to clip but will stand with a twitch
