We have owned Jimney Cricket for 4 1/2 years. He is a super star pony. Sensible and safe to be handled and groomed by the smallest of little children. He is used to a busy yard with dogs, chickens, children and farm machinery. If he is not ridden for afew weeks, he is just the same sensible easy boy. He has always been fit, healthy and sound. Comes with tack, 2 saddles. (Including Inkydinky saddle) and rugs. He was successfully shown as a youngster at county level. Moves beautifully!

Meet Penny, a super sweet 11-year-old 12.2hh mini cob mare looking for her next little rider!

Penny is a dream to have around – she’s kind, gentle, and loves attention, making her perfect for children to handle. She’s excellent to clip, groom, and tack up, and always stands like a saint.

She absolutely loves hacking – happy to go out alone or in company, and she’s brilliant in open spaces, never getting silly or strong. Penny loads and travels well, whether it’s solo or with a friend, and she enjoys a little jump, making her a fun, confidence-giving all-rounder.

She’d suit a family, pony club home, or a child wanting to have fun and gain confidence with a genuine, safe pony who loves to please.

Penny is happy to go on the lead rein or would be a great 2nd pony.

Brookhall Cracker Jack
12.3
Welsh B pony
5 years old

Cracker has been backed and broken with care and confidence in mind, although he is green he has really shown that he can excel at everything we ask of him, he has a great attitude to new situations and is proving to be unflappable.

Cracker would make a great all rounder for someone wanting to put their own stamp on a pony with a great start to his ridden life and a fun personality.

He has flashy paces and is never sick or sorry.

We really feel that in time he could turn his hoof to anything with bags of potential for hunting, pony club or lead rein.

Cracker, in true pony style, does love to test the fencing at home but this is his only cheekiness!

He is only for sale due to time/money commitments elsewhere and really does deserve a 5* home.

This amazing little pony has been with ourselves for three years and my daughter is now fully out grown him and ready for the next step onto her next pony.

He has been used for mainly lead rein but he is forward enough and responsive enough to do both lead rein and 1.5 pony.

We are regularly at our local Pony Club where we have done weekly rallies, mounted games, dressage, musical dressage, pony club camp, poles on the floor and 30cm cross poles

We live on a working farm and he is used to dogs, cats, chickens, sheep and cattle. He is great with farm machinery and used to the tractor coming right up to his stable gate. He loves to hack, is safe with all aspects of traffic. He can be lead off another horse with no issues.

He loves to be pampered, fussed, groomed, he will stand like a dream to be clipped and platted. He will pop his head on your shoulders for kisses on his muzzle.

He will have his feet picked out by my daughter with no problems. He is excellent to catch, farrier- he is barefooted, great with visits from the vet, up to date with vaccines, no issues with the dentist, great to be tacked up and can be loaded into a trailer by my daughter.

He is great little pony with buckets of scope and talent to go far at shows, pony clubs and pony adventures. Based in Preston, Lancashire

Scooby is a fun and outgoing pony that we have owned for the last year.

We have mainly hacked, attended pony club and a handful of local shows.

He loves to jump is responsive to the aids, forwarding going but can be spooky nothing dangerous just needs a confident jockey, would suit as second pony or lead rein.

Not strong, ridden always in a snaffle.
Previously used in a riding school on and off lead rein, and has taken part in various activities. Good to hack.

Easy to handle my daughter does everything with him, tack up, load, change rugs, turnout fetch in, bath etc
Good to clip, load, farrier, dentist.
Currently shod in front as we hack a lot.
Beautiful boy wanting a jockey to go have fun with.
No dealers, joy riders or time wasters this has been a difficult decision and we adore this little pony.

Barney – 11.2hh, 10-year-old Gelding

Fabulous, Proven Lead Rein Pony

Barney is a quality 11.2hh, 10-year-old gelding who has been the ultimate lead rein pony in his current home for the past two years. He has turned his hoof to a wide variety of activities and loves his job!

Experience includes:
Pony Club Camp & Rallies
Fun Rides
Hunting & Hunt Rides
Hacking
Local Shows (including Fancy Dress)
Show Jumping
Cross-Country Schooling

I believe he would also excel in the showing ring!

Barney is now ready to find his next little rider, as his current jockey is coming off the lead rein. He is slightly forward for his jockey learning to come off the lead rein but would make a fantastic second ridden with a little schooling (which he has been undergoing) Occasionally shows a little greenness but is honest, willing, and loves his work.

This being said he would also suit a competent child or small adult looking for a fun, rewarding project to bring on. Barney is very scopy as well as being a genuine, kind pony with a great attitude and plenty of potential.

Good to: clip, load, shoe, hack alone and in company. Very easy to handle and a pleasure to have on the yard.

Lacey Rose - sweetest little Barbie pony


Ref #: 392000
  • Handled daily by an 8 year old
  • Never spooky
  • Loves cuddles and fuss
£4,000 ONO
  • Welsh Section A
  • Palomino
  • Mare
  • 7 years
  • 12 hands
  • Handled daily by an 8 year old
  • Never spooky
  • Loves cuddles and fuss

Lacey is looking for a new little human to take her on adventures as my daughter has sadly outgrown her.

We have had her for just under 4 years. Originally backed for lead rein and this is what she is happiest doing. She will plod round all day walk, trot and even over a fence with somebody running at the side of her. She is not spooky at all and is happy out hacking on her own or in company.

We have done some fun shows, beach rides, pony club sessions. Lacey loads and travels well, is good for farrier (has front shoes) and dentist. Good to be clipped. Not a huge fan of being bathed but is getting better. Comes to call in the field.

My daughter came off lead rein around 12 months ago and we sent her away to be schooled again and although she does go off lead rein she requires a confident and determined rider and she can be sassy and throw a buck and just plant her feet. This is why I feel more suited to lead rein. She has never bolted she does not have that speed I'm her.

Laceys only vice is she does wind suck when in the stable. This has never affected her and i never struggle to keep weight on her. She will happily live out if she could with friends.

She is the sweetest little pony, loves cuddles, kisses and has even done pony parties with glitter tattoos and main chalk.

TGCA Registered Sabino cob
Show quality
Currently measured at just under 13hh but he is still slightly bum high.

Ice is an absolutely stunning White Sabino 6 year old cob gelding. He is absolutely dripping in mane and feather with some really striking movement. We do feel he will go far in the showing world.

He is super sweet and quiet in every way. Excellent to catch, lead, tie up, for the farrier, and loads without fuss. He is handled by both children and adults daily.

Ice was backed last year and his education has been taken nice and slowly. He has been used as a lead rein pony over the summer and is a really sensible type. He is now hacking out alone and in company off the lead rein, He has passed all traffic, cars, bikes, tractors and does not bat an eyelid.

He shows a kind, willing, and sensible attitude and is now ready for someone to put there stamp on him and progress him further.

Ice is TGCA registered, fully vaccinated and up to date with worming and the farrier.

He currently lives out in a mixed herd but is happy to come in too.

He is a real chunky sort who we do feel would make a perfect lead rein pony, mother daughter share or a small adult/teenage to bring him and continue his education.

Wonderful family horse - she can do it all!

She’s brilliant on the lead rein and currently ridden and handled by our 2 year old proving to be very safe and genuine, yet she is straightforward enough for a young child off the lead wanting to go and have fun - giving mum/dad confidence that she will look after your little one.

She has a good jump and is honest and brave showjumping and XC.

She is also sturdy enough for a small adult to have some fun - she would make a wonderful mother/daughter share.

Absolutely pleasure to have on the yard and will certainly provide a family many year of pleasure.

The Wonderful Bobby is Back Available!

This super boy was five-stage vetted last week and was unexpectedly pulled up for being slightly slow on a front flexion. He was completely sound in all other areas of the assessment and under saddle, and has never had a day sick or sorry with his current owners of 2 years. (They are also happy to disclose his vet history to support this).

He’s now been reshod and is feeling fantastic and yesterday was fully flexion tested by a top sports vet — with clear scans of his tendons and a full set of front X-rays available for interested buyers.

He’s looking and feeling better than ever — a truly lovely pony ready to find his next partner! 

Gigman Red Hot Chilli Pepper

11-year-old | Welsh Section B Gelding

An absolute superstar and confidence giver who has truly done it all!

“Chilli” is the definition of a steady Eddie — safe, reliable, and kind — but not so steady that he won’t go when asked. He’s forward enough to have fun, yet always sensible and honest.

Competition & Activity Highlights:
• Area 13 Pony Club Dressage competitor
• Consistently placed in First Pony Showing classes (BCA, Lambourn Show, and more)
• Pony Club One Day Events
• Unaffiliated SJ League (USJL) – placed at 40cm, 50cm, 60cm, and 70cm
• NSEA – competed successfully at 40cm–60cm
• Numerous organised fun rides – happy to lead or go behind
• Loves a blast up the racing gallops

He has genuinely done a bit of everything with us — always safe, fun, and willing.

My daughter has grown in confidence beyond belief thanks to this pony. She was terrified when he first arrived, and he has patiently taken her from that to happily jumping, competing, and hacking out everywhere. He is truly the ultimate first ridden / confidence giver.

He’s beautifully schooled, and with a rider who wants to practice their dressage or showing tests, I believe he would excel even further.
• References available from Pony Club instructors and coaches
• Extensive Instagram account documenting his journey and achievements

A wonderful, versatile pony who will give his next little rider the world of confidence and fun.

Freddie – 12hh Gelding, All-Round PC Superstar  17 years

The wonderful Freddie has been a true confidence-giver for us and is now ready to help his next rider shine. 

• Age/Height: 12hh gelding 
• Experience: Used for all Pony Club activities – happily pops round any course, bold and reliable for arena eventing, brilliant at shows, and totally unflappable in busy environments 
• Games: Freddie has done Pony Club games and is perfect with all equipment, unfazed by ponies rushing past or into him. He isn’t keen on being pushed to race, though—he prefers a steady rhythm over lots of “stop-start” work.
• Temperament: Exceptionally chilled and kind, the ultimate confidence restorer.

Reason for sale: Our focus is now 80% games and we need a pony who loves the fast, bendy side of it. Freddie has more than done his job giving us our confidence back and deserves a new home where his talents will be enjoyed.
