Zoë Arkell - Pony Search Agent


Ref #: 402560
  • Actively looking for the best Pony Club ponies
  • Some fabulous knowledgeable homes waiting
  • No fees for sellers
  • Actively looking for the best Pony Club ponies
  • Some fabulous knowledgeable homes waiting
  • No fees for sellers

I have motivated clients looking for genuine, kind, quality and proven ponies to take part in all Pony Club activities.

The ponies I would love to hear about are those not needing to be advertised to secure a new home. There is no harm in finding out whether I know of a better home and match. Perhaps you worry about your child finding it upsetting seeing their old pony regularly at rallies etc - then selling out of area could be a better solution.

These are motivated buyers receiving guidance as to what will likely suit their child - not the timewasters regularly reported. In most cases homes are also knowledgeable: simply lacking in time to conduct a search themselves. Most will also wait for the right pony so if you are not ready to sell yet - that is not an issue.

There are some decent budgets available relative to age and medical conditions etc.

All leads will be handled with discretion. Please feel free to give me a call, drop me a WhatsApp or check out my Instagram page @theponysearchagent

Horse Wanted – New Best Friend Needed!

I'm desperately seeking for a kind, genuine horse to become my new best friend and partner in crime. The perfect horse will enjoy happy hacking, some local dressage, pole work clinics and plenty of pampering.

A forever home is waiting on my small private yard, where every horse is treated as an individual. I'm an experienced owner, happy to provide references and keep in touch with previous owners.

My absolute number one priority is a safe hacking horse! This is the area where I need something that will give me a bit of confidence. I'm looking for a horse who is super hacking alone and in company, happy across open fields and sensible in traffic.

I am more than happy to put the work in on the flat so I am open to something established or that needs schooling.

Please get in touch if you think you may have my perfect match! I have a stable ready and waiting and a Shetland longing to meet his new bestie.

We are an experienced, knowledgeable family with excellent references and long history of producing and caring for horses. Our daughter (15) is a capable, committed rider who has persevered through a difficult year with a horse that has sadly knocked her confidence. She needs a horse that will give her something back-one she can trust, have fun with, and continue improving her riding.

She enjoys Pony Club, training sessions, arena hires, competing at spring festivals & area competitions within pony club and would love a horse that will happily go round a XC course or take part in Junior Tet. She is kind, patient and rides sympathetically.

What we can offer:

The horse will live on our quiet family farm in North Yorkshire where we have our own facilities, arena, stables, horse walker, all year turn out. The horse will receive exceptional care, routine and attention. We offer a loving stable environment with regular outings, training, and activities. The horse will be treated as part of the family.

  • 13hh - 15 2hh
  • RDA centre needing LWVTB/Loan
  • Temperament is more important than breed

We are looking for any breed for LWVTB as they will need to be trialled in our RDA environment before purchasing to see if they're suited to this lifestyle before a participant can ride them. This is as much for the ponies as the suitability for riders.

Must already be ridden and has to be over 5 yrs old (RDA rules). Can accept some quirks but must be safe for our disabled riders. They will also have to pass a stage 2 vetting which can be arranged whilst on loan.

We can offer a high standard of care, a light work load so older ages are acceptable if sound.

We have stables but they live out as much as possible even throughout winter. We can offer small herd/individual turnout.

If you would like to check out our RDA centre we are online and Facebook as Elisabeth Curtis Centre.

Ages between 5-10

Horse wanted to event with the aim of going novice and potentially more, a BE record would be nice but not essential.

Happy to consider a young horse with limited competition experience, provided it is ready to start competing and shows genuine potential. Equally happy to consider a more established horse with a few quirks.

Experienced, confident young rider who enjoys producing horses and isn't put off by a forward-going horse, occasional buck or a bit of sharpness. Genuine talent, trainability and soundness are the priorities.

Under 4 figs/loan/LWVTB wanted


Ref #: 415398

Currently keeping an eye out for a new partner in crime!

Around the 16hh mark (I’m tall and all leg but don’t fancy another 7ft rug giant!)

4+

After sadly loosing my last boy who I was so very lucky to have after he wanted a step down from the top competition life, I am on the look out for another!

Open to ideas but I love a chunky warmblood, green but honest youngster or very happy with one who needs to step down type!

Will have a happy varied life of lane and off road hacking, working towards low level BD again hopefully (over time, quietly working at home, low pressure) and RC level fun

And most of all to be overly loved, enjoyed in a 1:1 home and (safely) smothered by the family over the stable door

Will have the option to live out 24/7 with open access to stables/barn so horses that need a bit more movement are welcome!

Open to suggestions but always owned WBs/ISH + chunkier sport horses and prefer that sort of movement.

Always VERY happy to keep in touch with old owners, give too many updates and hopefully a very long term home for the right beauty! Long term loan/ LWVTB/under mid 4 figs

THANK YOU
