HUMBRIA ORANGE PIP - 148cm 15yr Welsh D X cob mare

Heartbreaking sale of our daughter’s pony, the search to find Pippa was long - we looked at lots and ventured far and wide and eventually found Pippa in Sheffield.

Pippa has been an incredible horse and taken our daughter from jumping Cross poles - 90cm. Pippa is a true teacher and confidence giver and helps the rider grow at their own speed, this has been invaluable to us over the last 3 years.

Pippa has done everything from stayaways, SJ, eventing, working hunter, dressage, fun competitions, camps, beach rides and so much more! Giving my daughter the best opportunities and teaching her so much, they gave truly been on a journey together but sadly competing demands and exams on the horizon means its time to hang up riding boots for a few years.

Pippa qualified for the SEIB National dressage at Arena UK in Nottingham, the ‘Cotswold Cup’ championships, as well as the Hartpury Championships and Trailblazers.

Pippa is happy jumping at the lower heights to help build confidence, but also happy competing at 80 and jumping slightly bigger at home. She has evented where cross country is her absolute favourite - she has conquered ditches, water, trakenhers, hedges and more! She needs a confident rider to take her into the jumps and tell her what they’re doing and enjoys every minute.

She is a pleasure to have on the yard, great around adults and children, lifts her feet on request, falls asleep with the farrier and is amazing for the dentist who she sees every six months. Pippa is happy hacking by herself and equally with others, is traffic safe and alert to her surroundings and used to farm machinery and a working yard.

Pippa is a teacher although not suitable for a total novice as needs a strong rider to give her the confidence as you fly round! Pippa happily loads on a trailer, 3.5t and 7t. Pippa has never bucked or reared in our time of owning her and is genuinely a joy to be around with a heart of gold who wants to have fun.

Happy to be in or out, she has been part of a mixed herd but also individually turned out; as long as she can see other horses she is fine but will let you know if she can’t.

Pippa did have treatment on her front annular ligaments at the beginning of 2025, so happy to discuss this further and give full vet history upon interest. Despite this Pippa was rehabbed slowly and carefully and made an incredible return to form jumping more confidently and boldly than before. Passed a 5* vetting when we purchased her and has only ever seen the vet for routine vaccinations and worming, which she is up to date for.

We are asking a sensible price for her, including her new Monarch jump saddle, bridle and a few rugs. This really is the most heartbreaking thing our family has had to do so absolutely NO TIMEWASTERS. 5* homes, and opportunity to visit new home before purchase would be welcomed.

Viewings in Somerset are very welcome, access to large schooling arena on site.

In addition and by separate negation we have a Cheval Touring trailer (Country model with separate tack room) which is also available.
