Unique opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding pony who has the talent, temperament and trainability to be, what we believe, is one of the best performance ponies in the World.

The aptly named 'Merrie', was chosen by his owners from the breeder's field five years ago because of his friendly/'merry' disposition.

With them he's had an unspoilt start of hacking in the New Forest (good with crab flies, gates and all manner of forest activities; dog walking to passing children playing on swings!)

In the short time of starting to have a more rounded education - traffic, beach rides, ride and lead, light schooling, an introduction to jumping and cross-country he has astounded his 'younger' rider every day.

Sadly at 50yrs old and 5'10'', she knows she won't be the one to pick up the championship medals but having ridden at international/advanced level eventing and produced Ladybrook Amaretti (138cm HOYS M&M WHP) she's well aware this pony will change someone's life.

His mentality is mind-blowing; calm, uncomplicated and incredibly intelligent.

His natural outline and engagement saw him win on his first dressage outing after just two schooling sessions.

His desire, power and technique over a fence is outstanding - he jumps with an ease and effortlessness and yet the photos show his scope!

Forward thinking but snaffle-mouthed, he has the presence and manners to perform in the show ring and happily canters first, middle or last and will stand quietly and watch others work around him.

Even with his limited training, his attitude means we feel he is ready to find an exceptional home with the dedication required to enable him to realise his FEI eventing / WHP potential. (He also moves very well and has relatives competing successfully in British Dressage but we would not want his jump to be wasted!)

Good in all ways (catch, box, shoe, clip, farrier), up to date on his vaccinations/teeth, clean limbed and open to vet.

Serious enquiries only for this much loved and admired 14hh, dark bay, seven-year-old registered New Forest gelding by Bakeburn Benny.

Please note, we are away over the half-term so he is having a short holiday but we felt we would place his advert now; assess applications (we would like to see videos of his new rider, learn about their experience and coaches on hand, and details of where he would move to) and then enable trials as appropriate when we are back.

Stable/field kept (he is very adaptable!) in the New Forest with outdoor arena and hacking trial facilities.

Guide Price of £15k with owner and rider both intending to retain a silent share.

Please feel free to make contact if you feel you could offer Merrie the home he deserves.

• 4 years

• Very pretty 4yo bay mare who loves attention and her work, perfect project for someone
• Super temperament, very intelligent and friendly
• Good to do in all ways. Farrier, vet, load, travel, catch, etc.

Purdey is a rising 4yo, 13.3 reg New Forest bay mare, by Long Copse Elton.

Lightly backed in 2025, she is very friendly and intelligent, loves her work and is now back in from the winter which she had off and was turned away to mature.

Doing very well with her groundwork and is ready to start again with her ridden work.

Lots of potential with plenty of bone and substance, a lovely project ready for a competent and knowledgeable person to bring on. Would carry a lightweight adult (backed and ridden away by a lightweight lady rider).

Purdey was bought as a 2yo as a companion and is now ready to progress and start work as in her current home she has no rider.

We are looking for an experienced, kind and knowledgeable home for her.

She is good to load, travel, catch, farrier (barefoot), groom, good in traffic. Lives out but does enjoy a snooze in her stable when she does come in!

Based Leicestershire.

4 Year Old Registered New Forest Gelding

Rowbarrow Ginger Nut, known as Sonny, is a lovely genuine young pony with a kind nature and a great attitude to life.

He has been brought up on a busy family yard and has also spent time out on the forest in Bramshaw, so he is well used to all aspects of forest life including pigs, sheep, cattle and donkeys. Nothing seems to faze him and he takes everything in his stride.

Sonny is used to tractors, machinery, dogs and children and is very much part of a busy home environment. He is well handled and has been by children since he was 8 months old, perfect to catch, loves attention and is always there to come over for a fuss.

Good for the farrier and has travelled multiple times well. Wolf teeth removed.
He has had tack on and has been walked out in hand, showing a willing and sensible attitude. He is now ready to be backed and start his ridden career.

Sonny has been part of the family and handled with plans as a future children’s pony in mind and we believe he will make a fantastic all rounder.
Well bred from Buckland Skyline, dam is Blackwell Wonder.

Only for sale due to reducing stock and lack of time.

Rodlease Guardsman is a very smart 14hh 5yo registered New Forest gelding with plenty of presence, charisma and good bone. He has been shown in hand as a youngster and exudes confidence. Soft mouth and good rhythmic paces.

Professionally broken in Summer 2025 he loves his work and has taken everything in his stride. Hacks out alone or in company, in front or behind. Not nappy, silly or spooky. Comfortable in open spaces.

XC he behaves like a pro; happy with water, ditches, steps, combinations, willing and forward going but not strong. An absolute pleasure to take out.

The same can be said for his show jumping outings, he is neat and rhythmical with good technique.

Great to load, catch, trim, teeth etc.

He has been to a hunt meet and was totally unphased and polite.

He has been a joy to work with and is looking for an adult or mother/ daughter share to have fun with in any discipline.

PSSM1 Negative.
