• Kind, Knowledgeable Family Home

We are searching for our daughter’s next best friend as she has very sadly outgrown her current pony (who has a home for life with us). Our horses are kept at home with us & our daughter, Ivy, is involved in every aspect of their care, so a trustworthy, best friend type is a must. Ivy currently enjoys varied activities with her pony including hacking from home, boxing up for forest rides, XC, clinics, local shows & lessons. We are not looking for a ‘world beater’ or a ‘rosette machine’ - we enjoy spending time with our horses & they are treated as part of the family, so temperament is hugely important. Up to now, Ivy has enjoyed attending regular clinics & local shows, jumping up to 70cm. She would like to find a new partner to progress with, enjoying the same variety with a horse comfortable jumping around 80/90cm.

Ivy’s current pony is not a kick along, she can be quite forward when jumping, so she would be fine with a responsive ride, however, we are not looking for anything too keen/strong or whizzy. Absolutely nothing that rears or bolts. Sadly, Ivy was bolted with when viewing a pony previously, so we would like to find a sensible horse who does not become too strong or excitable when out hacking in open spaces, alone or in company.

We live in a rural area & hack along quiet roads, but we do sometimes meet our local farmer, so we need a horse who is confident to pass farm vehicles.

We often box up to go for forest rides or to attend clinics, lessons & shows so our new horse needs to be happy to load & travel alone or with company.

We understand that no horse is perfect & we are not searching for a ‘unicorn’ so please be honest about any known quirks or habits as we are open to manageable imperfections. We will not buy unseen & would wish to have the horse vetted.

We offer a very kind, loving & knowledgeable family home with our other horses for company & we are happy to have a home check, provide references & to keep in touch.

We are Norfolk based, so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia, but would travel further if photos & videos can be provided first.

Sorry, no dealers please.
