‘Northern Lightning Layla’ has made all my daughter’s dreams come true.

As well as being a lovely person, Layla is the most consistently incredible pony who performs (and wins) every time.

Layla is a joy. She loves 2 things in life …. jumping (sj, arena eventing and xc - she’s a machine at both) and hacking - she marches with ears pricked in company or alone.

Her list of achievements are endless.

This year alone she took 3 individual placings at huge National Championships as well as dozens of other wins!

We affiliated Layla last year and she has a brilliant BS record with loads of DC’s particularly at Discovery - even picking up a placing at this year’s Blue Chip Champs at Addington!

Layla is very safe but is forward going and enthusiastic to a fence. She’s therefore not for a novice or someone wanting a plod along. She NEVER says no ….. Jump off turns, offset lines, water, ditches, scary fillers, arrowheads, you name it, she’ll jump it - and she’ll take a miss for you!

When arena eventing she’s a demon! Her pace always seems to nail the optimum time and she goes from SJ to XC fences seamlessly. At Blenheim International (16.09.26) she finished 11th out of 120 competitors in the Evoke Eventer Challenge with a beautiful double clear and just 0.4 time pens!

With us Layla has competed successfully from 80cm to 105cm.

She started jumping later in life and as such is low mileage for her age with years ahead of her.

Her next chapter is about stepping down the heights and giving another young rider the opportunity to learn from a pony who has done it all.

We are looking for a rider currently jumping around 70/80cm, who may want to progress towards the occasional 90cm.

We feel strongly that Layla now deserves to enjoy a slightly easier life. We are not looking for a home that intends to continue campaigning her at 1m+. We want her to have fun, stay active and enjoy her jumping without the pressure of the bigger classes. This is reflected in her price.

She’d love a pony club, NSEA or riding club type home where she could enjoy a variety of activities. Hacking a couple of times minimum a week is a must as she just enjoys it so much - she loves to explore!

Shes never sick or sorry - ever.

We have never had to call the vet to her other than for vaccinations (which are up to date). We are therefore happy to offer full veterinary disclosure. She has regular maintenance physio.

Perfect to clip, stands without being tied up for the farrier, great at stay aways, travels well, fine for dentist, etc etc.

If I was pushed to come up with something less than perfect to say, you do sometimes need to allow for extra time to load Layla as she can have a little dance about at the bottom of the ramp! However there’s a trick to loading her and she always goes on.

Layla enjoys flatwork and pole-work but does not enjoy dressage. Any dressage homes need not apply! Layla is a bundle of happiness who loves life and I’ll not jeopardise that.

She is a model for Hy Equestrian (you’ll see her on their websites and in catalogues) - she loves a photoshoot and stands around perfectly. She’s safe and friendly in a stable for a child to groom, tack up, pamper, play with, etc

She absolutely must go to a kind and loving home. Anyone not prepared to prioritise her happiness and welfare will not be considered. We are in no rush and will find this extremely difficult. We owe this mare the world and as such will be extremely picky about where she goes - we would like to stay in touch.

Look for the skewbald mare on my daughter’s Instagram for a zillion videos of super Layla in action: @alice_armson_equine

Layla is sound, fit and ready to have fun!

• True child’s best friend - super safe step up pony type. Every mother’s dream.
• Well hunted, true allrounder in every aspect.
• Taken part in all aspects of pony club , won showing / WHP. Has SJ, Hunter trialed & Team chased

Total mothers dream / 1.5 pony, hunting, PC , best friend. The type everyone is desperate to find!

Nell - 13.2hh , 10 year old mini super cob!

Absolute through and through child’s best friend, turns her hoof willingly to any job. Desperately sad sale on behalf of owner due to being totally outgrown, so time has come for her to make her next family smile.

True confidence giving pony, loves her hunting and is impeccable in all aspects in the field. She’s taken her current jockey from having a real confidence wobble to doing all aspects of pony club, rallies, camp and competitions 60/70cm both XC and SJ, hunting solo with friends for the day, showing and working hunter ,hacking alone and in company around the lanes and up on open moorland. They’ve even had a crack at team chasing where they flew around clear and even popped a few 80cm fences.

They have dabbled in showing at PC / local level where Nell has been consistent with her results, gaining wins both on the flat and working hunter classes. Nell is well schooled and capable of a smart prelim test. Nell is forgiving to her rider and a poppet if the rider has a balance or confidence wobble.

On the ground Nell is a sweetheart to deal with and is mostly dealt with on the daily by a child for all aspects of day to day life. Happy in or out, turns out with anyone. Wonderful in traffic, to load, shoe, clip (twitch for legs), catch and bath.

Full history known, two homes (including current) since a four year old, both who ideally would love to stay in touch with her next home. I’ve nearly 100 photos / videos available - it was hard to choose what to advertise her with. She’s really a much adored child’s best friend.

No vices, open to vet. Ponies with this much reliability rarely come available, a super opportunity of a pony that just wants to please, look after someone and have fun! Many references available on her.

Nell’s price includes her full wardrobe of everything a pony could want including her well fitting, comfortable saddle, a ‘at home bridle’ and her hunting/show bridle.
