Felix combines looks and ability with the kindest temperament.

Very successfully shown in-hand (once) where he won both his classes and went on to be reserve champion. He was mannerly all day, brilliant with my children, on and off the trailer and travelling etc.

He was bought from Ireland in May always with the intention of producing him to sell. He has settled into family life with us brilliantly and for most of that time has lived in a field by himself just casually seeing the children’s ponies coming and going. He loves to see us but is in no way bothered when we leave him behind. He’s also happy with others.

He’s long reined all over the moors by himself and sometimes with my daughter and her pony tagging along and I then took a long time leaning over and getting on and off so he’s very settled in that regard.

He’s very recently broken and riding where he has taken everything in his stride - mainly hacking with a couple of times in an arena (we don’t have one). Good with all the traffic he has seen as well as cows, sheep, goats, dogs, children on bikes etc. He’s also been out a couple of times on our own when I’ve had no one else to go with. In company he will go at the front or back.

This is a brilliant opportunity to purchase a top quality 3yr old that has been slowly and correctly produced to this point. He has all the makings of a top class show pony / WHP and would also make the most perfect all round family pony / mother daughter share. At this stage he would only suit an experienced rider due to his age but there’s no reason why a competent child couldn’t ride him in the near future with knowledgeable parents or professional help in the background.

Clean X-rays taken this summer.

Cashel is a firm yard favourite! He has been with us for over 6 months now and really has shone!

He is not phased by children running around or changes in routine, he takes everything in his stride. he is very independent and loves to hack out alone or in company. Although we live in a village he has seen most types of traffic.

He has been out on multiple occasions to arena hires and competitions all unaffiliated and done extremely well. cashel is good to load and good at the show waiting around and in the warm up. He has been jumping 90 cm s with ease!

He is working at prelim level but has his changes already established and has a great uphill light canter! he works in a nice light outline and responsive off the leg in transitions.

Cashel has all the talent and personality to be easy to train and produce further for grass root eventing or pure show jumping, he also is a real kind boy who loves fuss and a pony club mother daughter share would also suit.

* He already has a full set of clean x rays.

Spirit is a well-loved, beautiful and very sadly outgrown pony. He has done and won pretty much everything from ODE to Pony Club, BE80, Tetrathlon, beach rides, dressage, camps, fun rides and a small amount of hunting. He does not feel nor act his age and has plenty of years left in him.

We have owned Spirit for 5 years and most of his history is known. He has great ground manners and is easy to shoe. He loads and travels well, hacks alone or in company, turns out with mares or geldings, he has great feet and is easy to keep. Spirit is beautifully schooled and would suit an older child or lightweight adult.

He is more of a second or third pony because he teaches riders to ride with their seat. He can become strong if the rider clings onto his mouth. However, if the aids are applied from the seat, he is not strong at all, so he is a perfect pony to teach or reinforce this lesson. He loves jumping and is quick against the clock.

My daughter won many classes they entered together, and he was very successful with his previous owner too (their BE results are under Spirit XIII). He's a real softie and would live in the house if allowed; a kind home is essential.

Tack and wardrobe available by separate negotiation.

Reggie is super low mileage due to starting his ridden life a little later; however, he's got heaps of potential in the show ring or equally as an all-round super-fun pony.

He is bombproof when hacking and around all traffic.

He is showing serious talent over a fence. He’s bold and brave! Has competed in workers jumping everything put to him.

Reggie is fantastic to handle on the ground and is used to children.

He's looking for a best friend to have lots of fun with.

One in a Million Connemara, knows his job and loves his job! A real part of the family pony whose loved by everyone!

I’ve had the pleasure of owning Duke for 6 years and in that time he has taken me from jumping 90cm to 1m15 and 1m30 at home. Everyone who knows Duke knows how unbelievably special he is.

Duke does everything and anything from hunting to show jumping he has done it all! He has a record competing at 1m10/1m15, BS and unaffiliated. He absolutely loves his jumping, he is strong, quick and competitive . He would be the perfect 90cm/1m/1m05 competitor for a young child/teenager to have some fun on.

He really is part of the family and on the ground he can be handled by a toddler! He loves beach rides, fun rides and long hacks. He is an absolute cross country machine and will jump everything and anything put in front of him. He is the bravest horse I’ve ever met with an absolute heart of gold. All good to clip, shoe, load etc, the usual.

This is the hardest thing I will ever have to do and homes will be vetted. I am of course open to any and every question regarding Duke as his new home is the most important thing to me.

He’s wasted potential at the moment and needs to be out having fun! I have loads more photos and videos on request.

Finn is the ultimate leisure/pleasure all-rounder with a golden temperament. He is as safe as they come and gives everyone confidence that gets the pleasure of riding him. He is offered for sale on behalf of his owner whos circumstances have suddenly changed unfortunately. He is a 15.1h 5 year old (going on 10!) dapple grey fully registered Connemara gelding.

Very well bred with 5 generations pedigree, Nn hoof wall. He is a real stunning quality stamp with such amazing dapples that really draw you to him, he catches the eye where ever he goes. He is gorgeous inside and outside to match and will make someone a horse of a life time for sure.

He has excellent conformation, clean limbs, is blemish free with straight movement. A real show quality stamp who is very correct. He is such a desirable type as he is a great size for everyone to ride from children to teenagers and adults; he would be perfect for a mother/daughter share or family horse for everyone to enjoy. He really excels as a pleasure horse to take on sponsored rides, happy hacks, horse holidays, beach rides, and to do all riding club on. And best of all he is super safe and very genuine and honest with a quiet gentle temperament.

Finn is super to hack both alone and in company. He is great with traffic and hacks straight out onto a busy through road where traffic goes flying past him. He is super with arctic Lorries passing him too. He is very confident in his own skin so doesn't need his rider to hold her hand. He is very calm and sensible in open spaces, he will canter in any order within a group without getting strong or competitive; he doesn't mind being over taken. You can drop you reins on him in canter and he wont run away, in fact quite the opposite. He is a lovely medium/steady speed out hacking.

He has been on lots of pleasure rides which he really does excel at, he gives other horses confidence as he is such a calm influence. He is so much fun on pleasure rides and always makes you smile and have a good ride. He has been on beach rides where he is always fantastically behaved, he went to Brancaster this summer and even swam in the sea and cantered up the beach no handed, this just about sums Finn up! He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays and enjoy hours of exploring together as he is super comfy too and relaxed in new places.

He has also hunted in Ireland with a 13 year old boy where he proved safe and steady so would also suit a hunting home.

Finn has good basic schooling established with lovely natural paces. His paces are very smooth and flowing. He is a steady ride in the school and does need leg from his rider to keep him going. So he would suit a rider who prefers to kick on rather than pull back. This makes his rider feel very safe and also means that Finn is suitable for nervous/ novice riders as well as more competent riders. He is a real safe steady confidence giver to ride and not the spooky or sharp type. He is snaffle mouthed for everything with a lovely light mouth. He is very forgiving and doesn't mind if his rider loses balance or misses a beat, he will just slow down and let you catch your balance.

He is a basic walk, trot and canter in the school; he has never had any dressage schooling put into him as his previous owner wasn't interested in that. However he could easily school up into the contact with a little work and do some dressage as his paces are good and he is a well-balanced horse. He has also been ridden bare back and was foot perfect and very comfortable. He would suit a wide range of riders from competent novices through to more experienced riders that just want a straight forward easy going ride that they can pick up and put down as he doesn't require daily riding to keep sane.

Finn loves his jumping and makes a brilliant shape. He is very careful both in front and behind. He nicely takes you into a fence in a good rhythm without rushing. He doesn't get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. He is a very much point and aim type who helps his rider out and juts loves to jump. He has attended training shows and unaffiliated comps at 80/90cm as well as riding club and arena hires.

He has also been xc schooling several times where he was simply amazing. Hes very confident and bold even over ditches and water. He is a real xc machine, point and aim type who is very genuine with lots of talent. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently but remains steady and very safe and sensible. He would excel at hunter trails and low level one day events. As well as being suitable for all pony club and riding club activities.

Finn has a superb quiet temperament; you really wouldn't find a quieter easier horse. He really is such a nice sweet person who wants to be everyone's friend. He is easy to handle and is very polite with manners to burn. He loves to be groomed and pampered. He is such a kind loving boy who is very gentle and calm. He is very good to catch, bath, shoe, load, catch ect. He will live alone or in company and in or out, he just goes with the flow. He is so much more than just a horse, he will be your best friend and part of the family.

He would make the perfect leisure/pleasure horse for hours of hacking and fun rides with some bits of riding club thrown in for fun. It is really important to his owner that Finn finds a 10* home where he will be loved and enjoyed.

Passed a 5 stage vetting in May that can come with him. Videos available on request.

Daisy is the kindest natured pony I have ever come across, she has low mileage, broken in as a 6year old, Daisy has been in a novice home for the last 2 years and has enjoyed lots of hacking & basic school work.

Currently on sales livery with us and has taken to jumping well but is green,

If you are looking for a kind genuine pony that you can bring on yourself, she’s is the one, never bucks, rears or bolts.

Huge future potential, feel she would excel in dressage with more education, equally has scope for her jumping, jumps logs and ditches out hacking.

Good with traffic & in open spaces, good to shoe, box & clip

Open to vetting

5 star home only

Sadly out grown

Comes with tack

Has 2 small lumps on her muzzle, price reflects this

Top Drawer all Rounder / Pony Club Type - Mothers Dream 

Proud Fionn, 12 year old Gelding, Irish bred Connemara - Charlie has been there and done the lot!!

Available on behalf of a private family whose child’s confidence has developed on him so much so to move onto a bigger & faster model.

Charlie is a lovely genuine pony, a true all round family pony. Well schooled, straight forward and loves to jump!! Has jumped up to 90 cm both s/jumping & X Country.

Loves to hack out, although has spent the last couple of years hacking with something else - so will need a kick to go out on his own - no problem or drama with him - he is obv just a bit of a wimp when out on his own hacking!!

Really lovely type who I would be happy to put Nanna Cath on

10 star long term home required & current family would like to keep in touch with him.

Priced accordingly for the versatility & safety of this boy.

Lots of video available showing current owner jumping & having loads of fun

10yo Connemara Gelding; 148cm (Life Height Cert). The ultimate all-rounder & family dream, 5* home essential

Truly one of a kind
He has been with me since he was 4. He is an absolute horse of a lifetime, and this is an incredibly hard decision, so please no timewasters, dreamers or dealers; his next home will be thoroughly vetted.

Safe, sane, fun and sensible; never bolts, kicks or rears.

Hacks alone or in company, in open spaces or on the road.

Will stand quietly while others canter off, he is an absolute gentleman.

Happy turned out alone or in a herd, and fine stabled on his own.

Beautiful flatwork & jump, produces a lovely test and ridden in a snaffle for both flat and jumping.

Bold, honest jumper; comfortably schooling 80/90cm SJ and x country.

Loves his cross country; brave and willing, but never strong or silly.

Has scope to progress further in the right hands (90cm+ ODE potential)

He would take you round an ode or take your granny for a hack, he really can do anything.

More woah than go.

Evented successfully, consistently in the top ten and has qualified for the connemara eventing champs last year and this year.

He thrives on variety and would love a lifestyle where he is truly part of the family. He is a loving, kind boy who wants to be someones pet as much as their competition partner.

This pony deserves a life full of hacking, fun rides, shows, jumping and cuddles.

Made to measure bridle included and possibility of perfectly fitting saddle.

Very sad sale of the very loved Charlie.

Charlie has been in the same home the past couple years was brought to produce on by his teenage rider, but the idea of buying him on to sell quickly turned to keeping him and having a wonderful couple of years together! Unfortunately with A levels looming it has come a sensible time to help him find his next home.

Charlie is a super all rounder. Loves any job asked of him. Never ever stops. Always wants to try and is anybody’s ride. He will be quiet for a smaller rider or equally step up a gear for someone wanting to jump competitively. Charlie has competed successfully to 1m rarely coming home without a rosette. Taken part in unaffiliated events and showjumping. Lots of hacking and bareback rides and jumping. He’s been all round the most fun a girl could ask for in a pony.

Charlie would thrive in a pony club home. You can pick him up and drop him and he will be ready to head out to a show after a week off. He is so easy to manage and a total gentleman on the ground to do absolutely everything with. He will live in or out, always very friendly with other horses. Great to clip, shoe, load etc.

No vet history and open to all vettings & xrays.

Looking for a new home as very sadly outgrown and this fantastic horse deserves to be going out and having fun with a new best friend.

Exceptional Hunter/Allrounder for a keen and competent teenager / small adult or mother/teen share (he is a fun forward going horse , therefore not suitable for a novice / nervous rider).

Well known in the Pytchley Hunt and Pony Club, where he has been hunted by teenagers for the last 7+ years (low mileage due to school commitments) excellent with hounds, stands perfectly at the meet and crosses all country with a smile on his face, knows his job and loves to be upfront. Very scopey and loves to jump, particularly enjoys hunting, hunter trials, fun rides, PC rallies and Camp and team chased with previous owner.

Hacks alone and in company, is excellent with traffic, farm machinery, livestock and good in open spaces. A pleasure to look after, handle and be around with the nicest character, good to wash, clip, shoe, catch, he loads and travels happily in a trailer or lorry on his own and in company. Very easy to take out and about on your own. Happy to be left in / turned out either on his own or in company and is always happy to see / greet you.

He has been a very big part of our family and is my sons horse of a lifetime. Therefore we want to find him his next special person and perfect home (ideally an experienced private family home) where he will continue to be cherished and adored whilst having lots of fun.

References required and homes will be vetted. Serious enquiries only - please call 07753 819389

Tack and Rugs are available by separate negotiation.

It’s not every day a pony like this comes along. Finn was imported from Ireland in 2024, unbroken. Finns owner did a superb job of breaking him in and giving him the time he deserved hacking all over the Quantocks, living in a herd and learning quietly how babies should.

Finn is a truly exceptional 4-year-old purebred Connemara gelding who combines looks, talent, temperament, and top breeding into one rare package.

Standing at a lovely 14.1hh and beautifully put together with outstanding conformation, making him a standout wherever he goes.

He has three naturally flashy, balanced paces and carries himself with elegance and ease, this is a pony who turns heads for all the right reasons. I think as a five year old this pony will float across show rings!

He’s schooled at many arenas now, indoor/outdoor and xc schooling, handled a wide variety of environments, and proven himself time and time again as brave, honest, and willing.

He has been ridden by a mother/daughter combination (daughter 11 years old)

He has been to weekly lessons - very good to load and stands quietly on the trailer.

Nothing seems to phases this pony. Old head on young shoulders out hacking, safe in open fields and regularly hacking on the lanes in groups. He’s completely accustomed to farm machinery, animals, and all the hustle and bustle of yard life.

He has been brought on carefully, never rushed, and is now ready to find his forever person — someone who wants a pony to learn with, grow with, and love for years to come.

I bought Isla (Robe Island Girl) earlier this year as a project after finishing university and what a pony she is! She is a lovely stamp of a Connemara, all Class 1 breeding, with plenty of half siblings out doing BE / BSJA- I am sure she could follow in their footsteps.

What sets Isla apart is her temperament- from the day we brought her home she has not put a foot wrong and is incredibly level headed in every aspect. She is totally uncomplicated and easy to handle, never sharp or bolshy, and very friendly- will trot up to you in the field, never grumpy or mareish. Easy to clip, bath, shoe, pull mane, good for the dentist etc. She is as perfect to load, travelling on a trailer or a lorry.

Dressage wise, Isla produces nice work. I have taken her to some unaffiliated dressage competitions in which she has placed and had lovely comments from judges. We have had plenty of dressage lessons, she is very willing and a quick learner, and I have no doubt she will excel in this sphere in the future.

Isla is brave and really enjoys jumping. She is unphased by fillers , planks etc and has been out to arena hires, an SJ training show and PC showjumping rallies. We have taken her XC schooling and it is absolutely her thing, she gives you a fantastic feel over a fence. She is bold over ditches, into water, up and down steps etc. It would be great to see an ambitious rider give her a competitive career.

Isla has been to PC rallies, including an all-day rally, with a young rider who had ridden her just once before. She would make a super pony club pony for a young person- she’s fun and so easy to do -and looks very smart among a crowd.

Isla recently went out with the Readyfield Bloodhounds on hound exercise among a big field of 89 and was foot perfect- sensible and unphased by people charging around her. She has been to hunt rides and fun rides and always behaves impeccably. I imagine she would make an incredible hunting pony for somebody.

She is super to hack out, impeccable in all traffic, including farm vehicles/ lorries and even a fire engine! She is good alone, not spooky, does not nap, and is not strong or silly in company.

Isla has a forward thinking mind, bold and loves to get on with a job, and would be perfect for someone as brave as she is. She would be ideal for a competent young teen or as a mother daughter share. Equally, for this reason she is not suitable for a novice, or for a young child. She is not sharp or silly, but she is ‘more go than woah’ and certainly not a kick-along.

Whilst I would love to keep her (and have been seriously tempted to!) I am going travelling and starting a full time job in the new year, hence the sale. A good home is very important, she is such a kind and gentle pony, and I would love to stay in touch, as would her previous owner.

She is up to date with vaccinations and teeth. No vices. No vet/medical history. A school is available to use for viewing and plenty of good hacking. Price includes her saddle, bridle, rugs etc and is certainly negotiable to a good home. Leicestershire
