Fergus

Having owned Fergus since he was 7 months old, he has had the hands on involvement which has made him the fantastic pony he is today!

Doing ride & lead since a baby, he has seen every kind of traffic and is safer than most horses on the roads. Open moorland, woodland, loves splashing in rivers, hacks alone or in company will go front or last. He will go for miles or a short loop and most importantly he LOVES IT!

In the arena, his ridden education has been produced by adults. So he’s learnt the correct way from the get go. Happy mouth snaffle with a soft mouth & nicely responsive to aids. No gizmos or gadgets and no typical pony tricks up his sleeve, as he hasn’t been able to learn them! He has been ridden & hacked out by children also as is just as respectful. He’s a lovely straight mover, working away in walk, trot & canter. Enjoys his pole work and is ready to further his education.

On the ground he is great to catch, often runs to you for a kiss. Great when grooming, working in & around the stable, tacking up, loading, farrier, vet, dentist etc.

Fergus genuinely loves his work and tries hard. He is a fabulous all rounders but whatever discipline you want to do, I strongly believe he will give it 100% and excel.

He’s a Cob Cross & is a growing boy, will make around thirteen hands. You would not believe he is four years old, very mature head on his shoulders. Can be ridden everyday or left a few weeks and doesn’t change.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and discuss further.

  • ✨ The ultimate mother-and-daughter share / second pony ✨

Millie is a very pretty, dun, registered Welsh D who has to be one of the most reliable and genuine souls in the yard. Having owned her before, we know Millie very well, and everyone who knows her speaks incredibly highly of her. ❤️

She is a wise, educated pony with a fantastic list of talents, including:

🐄 Cattle herding – yes, real cows, Western-style neck reining!
🏇 Pony Club
🌳 Cross country
🏇 Show jumping
🌿 Hacking alone
🐴 Hacking in company
🏆 Hunting previously

Millie has a phenomenal jump — neat, careful and very talented. She is easy to ride but forward-going, as you would expect from a Welsh D, so she is not a novice ride. She would suit a confident, competent child coming off their first pony, a mother-and-daughter combination, or someone looking for a fun, versatile second pony.

She really is the sort of pony you can have loads of fun with and keep progressing with. ❤️

Millie is barefoot and lives out. She is good to box, travels well and is good to catch.

She did develop some sweet itch this year, which she hadn’t suffered from previously. We are currently in a particularly fly-ridden area and the weather hasn’t helped, so this is something to be aware of. It is easily managed with a suitable rug.

She also passed a 5-stage vetting last year.

Millie is a truly lovely pony who deserves a fantastic home where she can be enjoyed and appreciated. She has so much to offer and is one of those ponies that really leaves a mark on your heart. 🥰

Great Lead Rein Pony

  • Excellent lead rein pony
  • Great in open spaces
  • Sweetheart on the ground

Bluey is a great lead rein pony who has been part of our riding school for the past year. Unfortunately, we simply aren’t using him enough, and we feel it’s unfair to keep such a super little pony when he has so much more to give.

He is an excellent lead rein pony and is completely unfazed by nervous, wobbly or unbalanced little riders. He has experience with our usual riding school clientele, including children from just 4 years old, as well as RDA (Riding for the Disabled) and school visits.

He is brilliant in open spaces. He is regularly ridden as part of a group both in the arena and in our fields, but is equally happy being ridden on his own. He is excellent on the road and completely unfazed by traffic, tractors and general farm machinery.

Bluey is good off the lead rein, although we have only ever put competent riders on him. He has a lovely little jump and really enjoys popping over a fence!

He is a real sweetheart on the ground and can be groomed for hours. He is good to bath and is generally very easy to handle. He has never been clipped with us, although we have no reason to think he wouldn’t be fine.

Bluey is currently turned out in a mixed herd of approximately 30 horses. He is happy living both in and out and is equally content being stabled. At present, he lives out overnight. During the winter months, he comes in at night and is turned out during the day. He would be happy continuing with this routine or living out 24/7.

Bluey is currently barefoot and is easy for the farrier to trim. He is up to date with his teeth, chiropractor and saddle fitting, and is snaffle mouthed at all times. He is also fine to travel.

Experienced, loving home sought for this lovely little man.

Luna is a super 12.3hh cob type pony, she is safe and sensible, more slow than go with a little jockey but an stronger jockey can get the most out of her.

She has jumped up to 80cm, nothing phases or bothers her, ditches, water, fillers. 

Her full history is known from being a 4 year old when she was broken in.

She autumn hunted with the Zetland as a 4/5year old pony but does pleasure rides, beach rides she is a super pony.

Sweetie 💕 A perfect pony for a riding school or amateur in ponyclub

Sweetie is a 14h 7yo fleabitten grey mare with a great work ethic and consistently kind, gentle attitude

She is extremely straightforward and easy to ride, she is not lazy or forward, just steady in her paces

Sweetie has been ridden by several of our working students and requires no help from her rider. She is simple to jump, and easily ridden in the contact in a snaffle

She loves cross country and would be an exceptional hunting pony

She has jumped up to 95cm with our rider and jumps 80s courses with scope to spare. She would suit a pony club child who is comfortably jumping cross rails, or a riding school.

Sweetie is not mareish and gets along well with other horses in the arena and hacking. She is brave and quiet to lead the way, and well behaved on the road, in open fields, around traffic, and moving cows

She is easy to catch, load, tie, shoe, and clip and very gentle in every way

Open to any vetting

11 year old Connemara- N/HWSD (certification will be provided).

Green passport from Connemara Breeders Pony Society.

Bred and produced in the West Coast of Ireland.

Stunning, show stopping mare, you won’t find a prettier one out there. Sadly, jockey has moved on to 148's.

3 lovely paces. Beautiful conformation. Would excel in showing or dressage, looks stunning when all plaited up, always getting superb comments from judges. Has been in the same home for past 5 1/2 years. Originally purchased as a first pony for a 9 year and has also been ridden and schooled regularly by 2 adult riders in several disciplines. Very well-schooled, oodles of training with professional dressage rider. Has been to unaffiliated championships in dressage and SJ. Has been XC but this is not my daughters forte. Looks the part for dressage, knows her job with leg yields, flying changes, counter canter, shoulder in, rein back, turn on the haunches and half passes.

Has a rocking horse canter, slow paced and likes the chilled life. When pushed to jump by a crazy jump loving child she can sometimes put up objections and has been known to throw shapes in the form of bucks and the occasional rear! However, give her the lazier slower pace of life and she's happy. Not suitable for a child who wants to jump jump jump as she'll just object.

In the main she is not one bit mareish, you won’t find a more ploddy nice paced mare but in the interests of being fully honest, she can every so often chance her arm, show a touch of dominance in a small rear and if pushed too much and wants to go back to her stable will throw some shapes and have a cheeky buck. Never, ever dirty or nasty… just needs rider to be competent to handle her in these moments. My daughter has managed her since a 9 year old and is now 14. Can be months in between doing this, even a year but want a future buyer to know she can do it. Never a single day sick, sorry or lame.

Jumps 80/90 comfortably but for a younger rider will mess around with jumping if she's had enough. A very loving, calm, forgiving pony. Can be left a week or two and is no different when you get back on. Great with younger children on lead rein and equally have had 70+ year old grandmother on her. Children as young as 2 have been on her countless times and she’s good as gold. Children regularly back flip off her bottom and sideways, gets ridden to the field bare back and backwards and doesn't bat an eyelid... Likes the quieter life and is definitely more kick than go!! Loveable, kind and trainable nature, abundance of pure class. She would really suit a therapy type home or in hand showing... or someone who wants to do very little, schooling and the odd hack.

Calm and un-phased in traffic, deals calmly with all farm machinery and regularly hacked out with large and small dogs by her side and not fazed by various livestock. Hacks alone or in company, if in company prefers to follow. Absolute dream in the stable and has impeccable manners.

Loads well - trailer or lorry.

Perfect feet.

Perfect for dentist.

Full physio work up every 3 months since owning her.

In the field, will want to hog the gate and be first out or fed first... will chase others away to make sure she is Queen Bee! Shares a field with my 148 gelding and adores him.

Has previously had a foal years ago prior to us buying her.

WILL NOT SELL TO A YOUNG INEXPERIENCED CHILD.

Very sad sale of our much loved lady. Serious enquiries only, no dealers. Best home is a must for this beauty.

Perfect mother daughter share. This is a very sad sale due her being outgrown and rider moving onto horses. She is a very sweet pony who is loved to death.

She will not compete on her own but loves going out to arena hires, cross country, hacks, and etc and will do a lovely pairs.

She is very gentle and wouldn’t hurt a fly and once she trusts you she would do anything for you.

She would never do anything nasty and will always help you out.

Likes someone gentle and doesn’t like to be forced.

She is good to clip, shoe, teeth, etc.

Will go in a trailer or lorry but prefers a lorry.

She will hack alone or in company but prefers to go with her friend.

She has done everything from pony club to fun rides to tackles jumping to giving young children pony rides.

Price negotiable - The best home is the most important thing

**Rising 4-year-old ID x Cob mare – A lovely, quality cob with a bright future.**
A lovely opportunity to purchase a quality Irish Draught cross cob mare, who will be 4 years old in November.

She has been broken in and has done everything asked of her before being turned away to mature. She is now ready to continue her education and develop her potential with the right person.

She is **easy to load and travels well**. She was clipped and hogged last year, although she was a little head-shy at the time. She has clean legs with no lumps or bumps and is open to vetting.

She would ideally suit an experienced mother-and-daughter partnership looking for a lovely-quality cob to bring on and enjoy. She has more growing and maturing to do and should make someone a very happy owner.

She is a lovely model with plenty of potential, and I would love to see her go to a knowledgeable, caring home where she can continue to develop at her own pace.

🚚 **Transport can be organised.**

A genuine, honest sale. Please get in touch for further information, videos or to arrange a viewing.
