Lightning - 5 year old Connie, 15h (finer type)

Lovely temperament, handled by a 12 year old.

Has recently started jumping and came 3rd out of 15 in his first comp at 60. Has been to pony club rallies (cross country and jumping) indoor and outdoor arenas. Loads well, clips fine. Great on the road alone or in company, will happily lead.

He needs to continue building his muscles and top line as he is still weak, and he will throw in the odd buck in canter, this has got less and less as we worked on just hacking out and hill work. Not enough of a buck to get you off but he can throw one in.

He is still sensitive with picking his back feet out, you have to take it slow but this improving more and more but again in a one on one home this get sorted in no time.

He lives out 24/7 in a mixed herd currently, but would happily go in a stable.

Up to date with jabs, teeth and no vet visits with us other than for jabs.

My niece has sadly decided she no longer wants to ride so he's without a rider now.

His breeding shines through in both his ability and temperament. From day one, he has shown himself to be incredibly versatile, smart, and eager to please. Whatever you ask of him, he gives it his all with a willing and honest attitude.

Under saddle, Prince is a delight. He is straightforward, kind, and easy to ride, making him ideal for a variety of riders. He moves beautifully with three balanced, expressive paces and a naturally uphill way of going. Over fences, he is brave and careful, having already jumped confidently up to 1m at home.

Under saddle, Sophie is nicely schooled with three balanced paces and a lovely rhythm. She works in a soft outline and listens well to her rider. Over fences, she really shines—she has a super jump with a careful, tidy technique that would make her an excellent working hunter or Pony Club allrounder. She is honest and uncomplicated to a fence and is equally bold and sensible out cross-country, where she never looks at a thing.

Sophie’s kind and willing attitude make her an ideal candidate for Pony Club, working hunter, or family use, and she has the temperament to suit a wide variety of riders. Whether you’re looking for a safe and straightforward pony to learn on, or a quality young mare to produce further, Sophie ticks every box.

Sophie has no stable vices, passed a recent 5-stage vetting, and is open to re-vetting for serious buyers. Her price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and if she’s not the perfect match, we offer an exchange policy for peace of mind.

He has the qualities to excel in eventing, hunter trials, pony club, jumping leagues, and he would also make a superb hunter, as he’s straightforward, balanced, and not phased by new places or fences.

Hacking & Everyday Riding

Quinn is excellent to hack out:

Alone or in company
Good in traffic
Sensible in open fields and new environments
Happy to pop drains, logs, or simply stroll home on a loose rein
He is the same ride after a day off and does not need to be worked down—he has a naturally calm, willing attitude.

A confident teenager looking for a competitive, fun partner
A mother–daughter share
A rider wanting to produce a talented young horse with incredible potential
Someone wanting a safe but forward-thinking pony with a great work ethic
