• Ideally 13.2 - 14hh
• Trustworthy, Kind Natured, Best Friend Type
• Experienced & Loving Family Home Offered

Sadly, our daughter has outgrown her beautiful first pony (he will be staying with us). We are now beginning our search for a pony who is the next step up to join our family & become our daughter’s best friend for adventures new!

Our horses are kept at home with us so the children are involved in all aspects of their daily care. Therefore, it is hugely important that we find a trustworthy, kind natured character to be the face waiting behind the garden gate each morning!

Over the last 3 years our daughter has progressed well with her current pony but he is generally more of a kick along type. We are searching for a pony who will be a gentle next step up, more responsive & less of a kick along but nothing too forward or whizzy.

We offer an experienced, loving, home where the horses are treated as part of the family. We live in a rural area so do not see a great deal of traffic, however, what we usually meet are cyclists & tractors so the new pony must be confident passing farm machinery out hacking. Our daughter will often be hacking alone (with someone on a bike) so the pony would need to be happy without the company of another horse when riding out from home. We will also be meeting friends for forest rides & attending organised pleasure rides so he/she needs to remain sane & sensible out in open spaces with company too. I appreciate no pony is perfect, her current pony certainly is not but all I ask is that any quirks are disclosed please. Our daughter is used to the odd half-hearted buck & stubborn pony behaviour but nothing unsafe that would put them in danger or ruin her confidence.

Our daughter has popped over small jumps with her current pony but it isn’t really his thing! She is very keen to progress with a pony who enjoys jumping & who she can take to local shows, cross country courses & join pony club with. We are not particularly competitive & enjoy low key adventures & fun days too, so a world beater is not needed. We would not be suited to a pony who requires riding every day to keep safe & sane as we are quite laid back & equally happy pootling out for hacks from home! New pony needs to be good to load onto a trailer as we often travel to enjoy the lovely forest hacks we have nearby.

We are based in Norfolk but would be happy to travel up to around 2 hours. We would welcome home checks & provide references if required, also happy to keep in touch.

Sorry, no dealers please.

Looking for a show quality pony, gelding preferred, to come and join an experienced and happy Highland home.

Ideally pony will be riding away/ lightly competing at ridden nursery novice/novice level, if not must at least be backed with some basic schooling in walk, trot and canter and preferably been introduced to travelling and show grounds.

Also pony must be happy to hack out, live out or in, and be good with farrier.

• Highland
• Dapple grey
• Gelding
• 3 years
• 13.2 hands

• Reserve Champion in-hand
• Lightly backed and ridden away
• Serious HOYS prospect

Talisker Coinneach (Colin) has started his education slowly and carefully. Very well bred and will make a seriously smart show prospect.

He is rising 4 and has been backed and ridden on short hacks around the roads and farm proving to be bombproof in all traffic and situations that we have come across.

He is very used to heavy machinery, cattle and busy roads as we live on a working farm.

Colin travels well and been shown in-hand where he was extremely well behaved , he won his open youngstock class and stood Reserve Champion.

He is an absolute darling with zero vices, clean limbed and well behaved for the farrier.

I have owned Colin for a year now with plans to ride him in working hunter and flat show classes.

Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances I will be giving up horses and therefore would like to find him the very best of homes where he can be loved and enjoy life.
