Heartbreaking sale of one of the best ponies we have ever had the pleasure of owning!

This pony does it all, from winning some of the strongest WHP classes with ease in the country, to keeping up with the pack in the hunt field, to swimming in the sea with his best friend, to safely teaching 3 year old jockeys their up downs, on and off the lead rein.

He would happily continue his worker career, in the Cradles and Juniors or step up for an older jockey in the opens. Equally he would be ideal to teach a younger or less experienced child to jump steadily. He is so safe and would easily step down for the tiny tots to grow onto and reach the bigger courses in time.

Likewise he is the most beautiful stamp of Dartmoor, your true black beauty, so has been very successful in the flat class with us as well, in the first ridden and junior small breeds.

He is not only multi talented, but extremely well put together too with good solid legs with masses of bone. He comes out with the highest show and conformation marks most times he enters the show ring. He is the rare whole package!!

Eric comes along with his Royal International Cradle Stakes ticket for July and London International Cradle Stakes ticket which he picked up first time, if he were to find his next little person before the show dates.

This is a very sad offering, only due to personal reasons beyond our control. We have hundreds of photos and videos of him, he has been my daughter’s best friend for the last three years and it will be very hard to part with him. He is just a joy to have around and the right home is so important, if this isn’t found we will find a way for him to stay.

Please get in touch for more information.
Substantial price to reflect his talent, quality and show record.

Ruby is an eight-year-old roan bay mare Dartmoor Hill Pony, standing at approximately 120 cm. She is a genuine child’s pony – excellent on the lead rein but is also a good second/first pony. She is my granddaughter’s best friend and is much loved.

Heartbreaking sale owing to my unexpected health issues. Ideally seeking a knowledgeable home where Ruby can enjoy a range of activities with a new best friend and fulfil her promise as a fun, all-round, pony club type pony.

We have owned Ruby since August 2022, straight from her excellent breaking in by Tara Morris Equestrian. On the lead rein, Ruby carries small children with care. She responds to verbal instructions to walk, trot, whoa, and stand. In the last couple of years, she’s been ridden mainly by my eldest granddaughter as the other two have lost interest. Ruby is only ridden in the school holidays when my granddaughter comes to stay. After each six-week gap, Ruby does not need to be ridden by an adult or lunged – just a quick brush, tack on, and out we go. Ruby loves hacking and is happy to go in front or behind. I have also led her from my horse a couple of times. Ruby is very good with traffic on our local roads/lanes, including noisy farm vehicles, sometimes giving my horse a lead past some ‘monstrous’ vehicle! She is sensible on bridleway tracks and in open spaces.

Ruby has been to a few local shows, taking part successfully in leading rein ridden classes and gymkhana races. My granddaughter is learning to jump. She and Ruby have competed in a few classes on and off the lead rein. Ruby is less enthusiastic and relatively inexperienced in flat work in an arena and, given the chance, can drift towards the exit!

Ruby is a very good doer. She lives on a nearly bare paddock with hay or haylage provided at regular intervals during the day/at night. She has never had laminitis, nor has she ever been sick or sorry. She lives out generally though I tend to bring her in at night during bad weather in winter to let her dry off from the rain and to get her out of the mud. She is barefoot with fantastic feet. She is good with the farrier and dentist, and is up to date with teeth, feet and vaccines. Ruby is easy to catch, and she loads and travels well in our horsebox. My granddaughter does everything with her, such as grooming, picking up her feet, tacking up, and loading in the horsebox. She does not kick or bite. She is good with dogs.

Ruby is a pretty pony who changes colour with the seasons. She is bay roan in summer, a rich red bay in winter and nearly white with black points in the spring.

Serious enquiries only please for this very special pony.

Located in North Wales (30 minutes from Chester).
Her tack is available by negotiation.

It is with a very heavy heart that we are offering our much-loved Dartmoor pony for sale. We have owned him for the last 10 years, and during that time, he has been an incredible teacher and friend to our children, helping them gain confidence and enjoy every aspect of pony life.

He is a kind, gentle and genuine pony who adores children and is a pleasure to handle. He has impeccable manners on the ground and is happy being groomed, fussed over and loved.

Over the years he has turned his hoof to a little bit of everything, including:

Local shows
Pony Club rallies
Mounted games
Hunt rides
Hunting
Eventer challenges
Show jumping
Handy Pony classes

Most of these activities have been enjoyed on the lead rein, where he has been a fantastic confidence giver. He will happily be led from another horse, making him ideal for family rides and younger riders.

He is excellent to hack, sensible in traffic and enjoys getting out and about. He is also happy to be ridden off the lead rein, although he is not a forward-going pony and does require a rider who is prepared to keep him moving with plenty of leg.

This special pony is looking for a loving family where he can continue to be cherished and help another child create wonderful memories. Finding the right home is far more important than a quick sale.

Please get in touch for more information, photos and videos.
