Sansa – 11.1hh Palomino Mare, 5 Years Old

A truly special little pony looking for her next best friend.

Sansa is a beautiful 11.1hh palomino mare, 5 years old, with the kindest nature and a fantastic attitude. We bought her as an unbroken 3-year-old and she has been ridden by our children since day 1. She was professionally broken earlier this year and has proven to be exceptionally sensible and straightforward.

She has enjoyed beach rides, hacks, and rides around the farm. Despite her age, she is very mature and level-headed, taking everything in her stride.

Sansa is:

100% to catch
Good to load and travel
Excellent for the farrier
Happy to bath and groom
Kind and affectionate with children

She has never bucked, reared, bitten, or shown any nasty behaviour. She is a genuine, honest pony who always tries her best and has never put a foot wrong.

Sansa is ready to be the most amazing Pony Club pony, first ridden prospect, family pony, or show ring candidate. She is ready for another child to love and enjoy, and we are looking for the very best home for this wonderful little mare.

With Sansa only being 5 she is still a lead rein pony but I think with a more competent jockey she would easily go off the lead rein.

Only for sale due to our boys loss of interest and she’s wasted in our field.

Serious enquiries only.

Ref #: 410686

  • Bred in the purple, from the well known Glyncoch Stud. Straight forward. Future supertar.
  • Owned since a 2yo, well handled and brought on slowly.
  • The most levelheaded baby pony I’ve owned, with a wonderful attitude to life.
Romeo is a stunning example of a Welsh Section A. Substantial approx 11.3hh, correct confirmation, beautiful eye, stunning colour with 3 beautiful paces. The most wonderful front, fabulous walk and leg in each corner.

Purchased as a 2 year old, Romeo has been allowed to mature while being handled every day. Lovely laid back attitude, very straight forward and quick to learn.
Backed by a novice 7yo child in December 2025. Turned away over the winter, brought back in and professionally ridden away in April 2026. Romeo has been long-reined regularly due to no permanent jockey. He is a joy to long rein, and happy to go out alone or in company. Excellent in traffic.

Fabulous to clip, trim, bath, with farrier and vet. Lives in or out. Loads easily and happy to to travel alone.
He’s just started working on the lead rein, when a jockey is available. Only for sale as he now deserves a little jockey to call his own, whereby he can bond and learn together. He is absolutely wasted with me,and far too good to be a field ornament.
He was shown inhand once last summer, and behaved impeccably.
I have no doubt this pony will excel in many disciplines. He is currently left in a natural state. But I do think he would make a super plaited SHP/WHP. Romeo enjoys pole work and has a scopey jump, although this has not been rushed.
If you are looking for a fresh face, to put your own stamp on, look no further. Ponies of this calibre are hard to come by. He will only go to a knowledgeable and experienced kind and loving home.
Although only recently backed, Romeo is very sensible but please be mindful he is still only 4 years old.
Pictures really don’t do this wonderful pony justice, he is so much more appreciated in the flesh.
Romeo is up to date with vaccines, wormer and physio. Open to vetting.

Please contact me for any further information. Viewing highly recommended.

Quarstead Go Maggie Go - Filly 10.3 HH 5 Yrs Old Welsh Section A

Maggie is an exciting prospect for lead rein, first ridden or a fun all rounder.

She has effortlessly beautiful paces, and great confirmation.

I’ve owned Maddie for 3.5 years. She was broken in by myself on the ground and is regularly ridden by children.

She won her only inhand youngstock class.

Maggie has had some away days and is jumping a course of 60cm. She knows her basic school work, has just started doing some PC games and is ready for a family to put their stamp on.

She will happily hack out on her own or with others and loves a gallop in open spaces.

Maggie is clean limbed with no vices, and good with the farrier.

This little filly is only for sale due to not having time and my son not showing any interest in riding.

  • Super Speedy Jump Off Pony!
  • Sunshine Tour - Show Jumping & Showing Multiple Champion!
  • NSEA Grass Roots - Show Jumping Team Champion!

12.3hh grey mare, foaled 2016.

Main stand out achievements:

* Champion 50cm - Sunshine Tour 2025 (out of 62)
* Champion 50cm Open - Sunshine Tour 2025 (out of 53)
* Champion NSEA Grass Roots Team – Hickstead 2025
* NSEA Grass Roots 50cm Team 3rd – Hickstead 2025 (out of 198)
* Champion Intro Dressage League - 2025
* Champion First Ridden SHP & Show Pony - Sunshine Tour 2024
* Champion First Ridden SHP & Show Pony - Sunshine Tour 2023
* Champion Starters Best Ridden Horse & Pony - Sunshine Tour 2023 (out of 31)
* First Ridden Champion of Champions – Barleylands EC 2023
* Reserve Champion at her very first showing show – 2022

So far in 2026 she has competed at 2 show jumping events and won 3 out of 4 classes. Since then, we have concentrated on getting Fancy ready for affiliated showing, she competed in the BSPS LIHS Performance Pony and placed in 2 out of the 3 county shows.

Fancy competes in SJ up to 60cm and loves it! She has scope to go higher but my daughter has no desire to jump bigger courses. We have owned Fancy for 4 and half years and she is now become very sadly outgrown, we have kept her longer than planned because it’s so hard to let go, but my daughter has grown so much in the past few months and its now time for Fancy to find her new little rider.

Fancy has been solely produced by my daughter who is now 13. She is a forward pony, a pony with an engine so needs a brave little rider, she is not a dangerous pony but does enjoy going fast, my daughter has only ever fallen off her once and that wasn’t the pony’s fault. Even though she has been our first pony, she would suit a rider who is confident in the saddle.

Fancy has been hugely successful at Sunshine Tour, she is excellent at stay away shows and settles very well and always tries her best, when at shows she definitely goes into ‘show mode’.

She has done pony club and attended camp and also mini XC. We also do ‘Liberty’ work with her, she even has a viral video of parking herself at a mounting block. We believe she would also make an excellent WHP.

Fancy absolutely loves hacking, my daughter hacks her out on her own and has done since she was 12, very safe around cars, farm machinery, lorries etc, she enjoys hacking in company and will lead or is happy to be at the back.

Fancy is a yard favourite, she has so much character and always makes us laugh, she is a clever pony and has a cheeky side. She is fit and healthy and doesn’t have any vices – In April 2023 she had an episode of ulcers which was dealt with promptly and resolved, this was due to her being at a yard with no winter turnout and she was stabled for 6 months. We moved yards straight after this, and she hasn’t had any issues since, for this reason, we would like Fancy to go to a yard that has winter turnout. Full vet records are available.

She is good to load, travel, clip, is stabled at night and out during the day, she wears a muzzle when given extra grass, she does enjoy having field mates but has been turned out on her own in the past.

Up to date with all vaccinations, worming, farrier, dentist and back.

Comes with GP saddle and day to day bridle with Neue Schule bit and a complete set of rugs.

We would love to stay in touch with the buyers.

Based near Chelmsford, Essex

11hh Black Mare – Beautiful, Kind-Hearted Family Pony

It is with a very heavy heart that we offer Beauty for sale. She has been a much-loved member of our family for the past 3 years, but sadly she is being wasted with us and deserves a little rider to enjoy everything she has to offer.

Last summer, Beauty spent the season being ridden by our 5-year-old niece on the lead rein, which gave her so much confidence. Together they enjoyed beach rides, shows, and plenty of fun outings, often coming home with rosettes and winning their classes.

Beauty is the ultimate all-rounder. She has previously done cross-country, beach rides, showing, and jumping, and absolutely loves her work. Fillers, coloured poles, and new environments never faze her – she is a genuine little machine who always aims to please. At the same time, she is equally happy stepping down to be a safe and sensible lead rein pony.

For a child wanting to come off the lead rein, I would describe her as a fantastic 1.5/second pony for a confident little rider who knows the basics and is ready to have fun.

She is handled daily by children, loves attention, and will happily stand to be groomed all day. She has never been nasty and has the sweetest temperament. Beauty thrives on work and enjoys having a job to do.

She loads perfectly, travels well, and is never sick or sorry. She is good with traffic, the farrier, clipping, and all the usual pony activities. She comes with a full wardrobe.

This is an incredibly sad sale for us. Beauty has been everything we could have wished for and will be greatly missed. The only reason for sale is that our niece is learning to come off the lead rein on her first pony, and Beauty deserves a home where she can continue to shine.

Please, serious enquiries only, as finding the right home for this special little pony is our absolute priority. We have loads of pics and videos if you wanted to see more.

  • 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

Gorgeous lead rein/ first ridden pony

£5,000
  • Welsh Section A
  • Palomino
  • Gelding
  • 4 years
  • 11.2 hands
  • Can be handled by children
  • Rides on and off lead rein

Beautiful 11.2hh 4 year old palamino gelding. Registered Welsh section a. 4 white socks and 1 blue eye.

Please do not let his age put you off, this pony is a perfect lead rein/ first ridden. He is ridden by both my two girls aged 5 and 7 and I 100% trust him.

He is more woah than go. 100% safe never bucked, reared etc.

Works in a natural outline and has gorgeous floaty paces. He has so much potential in the show ring, we took him showing and he came away with a 1st and 2 seconds.

He has also been to pony club with lots of ponies around and didn’t bat an eye lid.

He will pop a small course of jumps sweetly and is very honest into a jump but he isn’t ever going to be a massive jumper.

He hacks out alone and in company and will go first or last. He will happily canter behind and not get strong or silly. He will also stand and wait whilst other ponies canter ahead. He can also be led off another horse.

He is handled and led around by the children, doesn’t bite or kick.

Easy to do, will live in or out.

5* home only for this lovely boy.

Beautifully bred, top-class LR/FR pony with the quality, movement, and presence to excel in the show ring. Previously a HOYS contender as a First Ridden and still has all the talent to return to that level in the right home.

Edward has excellent conformation and a lovely way of going, but is not a FYFR pony and requires a confident, capable jockey to school and produce him correctly.

Previously had laminitis and EMS, both successfully managed with restricted grazing, controlled diet, and routine. Currently thriving and well.

A genuinely classy pony with huge potential who deserves to be back out competing successfully. Realistically priced to reflect bringing him fully back into peak condition.

Absolutely heartbreaking writing this!

120.5cm life height Lead rein show pony. IN THE NIGHT GARDEN 11 years old, by westgrove revelation , dam Lilac park saskia

We have had Beatrice for over 6 years now , she’s taught our daughter to ride and introduced her to the show ring. She goes on and off the lead. Dosent need lots of working in or calmers. Went straight in to the evening performance at equifest from the wagon no working in at all and completely looked after my daughter. Won stars twice , no lunging at aintree so went straight in.

good to do in all ways. A true child’s pony , I trust her with the kids 1000% she’s worth her weight in gold and these types are incredibly hard to come by.

Beautiful breeding so would be an asset as a brood mare.

Unfortunately my daughter has become more interested in musical theatre than the ponies and I am wasting her by hanging on to her for emotional reasons.

A dream childs pony in the making

George is a homebred pony, that has always been well handled & shown in hand as a youngster.

His dam is Bradmore Tinkerbell, grand dam is Deanhills Fairystory, and his sire is the Super Premium Dartmoor stallion Cayberry Final Salute. Registered with the NPS and eligible to be registered part bred Dartmoor. He is a 4 year old gelding, approx 12.2hands.

Lovely put together pony.

George has been broken and is going sweetly & is happy being handled by a tiny child. He is snaffle mouthed and has a lovely nature. He has been shown under saddle in a lead rein class where he behaved impeccably with a tiny jockey. He really isn’t phased by an atmosphere.

Will make a lovely show/dressage pony.

Due to his age & only just having being broken he is not suitable for a novice, but has proven to be a true child’s pony. Is only for sale as we have no jockey.

Lots of pictures & videos available to serious enquiries.

  • He loves to jump

Meet our 10 year old 12.2hh pony, who has apparently decided he is now far too talented for the show ring. Despite an extensive and very successful in-hand showing career (yes, he has the rosettes to prove it), he would now much rather have a varied life then just showing.

He is amazing to hack, sensible, fun, and ready to teach a child the ropes while having plenty of character to keep life interesting. Would excel in Pony Club activities, rallies, games, and general family fun.

He loves to jump but current jockey is not a jumper so he’s not been pushed in that direction.

Placed at the Royal Welsh in hand and under saddle in 2025. Been there, done that, won the ribbons.

A brilliant all-rounder for someone wanting a talented pony with experience, charm, and all the looks
