Super all round riding club/ hacking/ dressage horse

  • Super all rounder
  • 3 lovely paces
  • No vices
£8,000 OVNO
  • Cob
  • Bay roan
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 15 hands
  • Super all rounder
  • 3 lovely paces
  • No vices

Bonnie is a 15hh 5yr old mare. She’s been with us since 3yrs old and we know her full history. She has been professionally backed and schooled correctly and slowly over the last 8 months. Bonnie is currently out 24/7 in a small mixed herd and is easy to catch and bring in.

She would happily be stabled. She’s great to hack out alone or in company and great open fields/ bridle paths. She’ll happily hack past her own field with her friends in. She can be a little nervous on the road alone. She’s great to travel and has been in trailers and horsebox with no issues.

Bonnie is forward thinking and a forward ride as has been trained that way. She loves dressage and has got 3 nice paces. She recently got a score of 69% in her first prelim and will happily pop a jump.

Bonnie would happily plod out hacking or make a smart competitive ride. She would happily take a novice rider as long as they can give a little pat and tell her she’s fine if she’s in new or unnerving situation rather than a rider that would tense and panic. Great to clip, great for farrier and vet. No vices.

Can include tack at additional cost

  • 5 years

Spyvalley Miss Contagious (Kit)
5 yrs old
Registered Sec D Mare - Bay
14.1/14.2hh

Kits Pros:
Kit is fantastic with the farrier, will load on a trailer and side opening lorry, she’ll stand to be groomed (but only when she’s in the mood) and has the most amazing stable manners 
Excellent with the vet, up to date with her vaccines 
She’ll happily stay in or be turned out 
She’s worn a bridle and saddle and took it all in her stride.
She lives out with my other mares and spent last summer out day&night 
Kit LOVES men!! She’s foot perfect for every man that has done stuff with her, be it the farrier, my dad, the neighbour etc.
She has beautiful movement and the most gorgeous face. She comes to her name and can be caught easily.
Lived on a working farm, is used to cows, sheep, all farm machinery etc.

Kits cons;
Kit’s a prick. Although she lives out with my mares, she believes that she’s the alpha. She will guard the gate and haylage and threaten the mares if they come too close, and she MUST be caught first 
At times, when she’s in a foul “mare” mood, she will rear up and barge into you when leading her out/in from the field. She only does this with women.
Kit has ZERO FEAR. Although it’s one of my favourite things about her, it’s also one of her biggest issues. She isn’t afraid of ANYTHING. Personally, I think she’d make a fantastic hunting cob purely from this alone. However, that does mean that when she gets told off, she thinks it’s a game, but again, only with women.

Kit needs an experienced home, with strong willed people. She’d make a fantastic ridden horse but unfortunately with my plans this year, I just won’t have the time for her. She’s a fantastic challenge for someone.

14.3hh traditional cob gelding

11 years old

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, worming, physio and farrier

Barefoot

Passported and microchipped

He is a true leg at each corner! He is great fun and very much enjoys having a job. He is very low mileage and green for his age as he was a pet and companion before coming to me.

He has been professionally broken and ridden away by myself and is now ready to find his forever home. Please note: I am the rider in the photos and I am 5ft10

He has been started slowly and correctly and is a very honest and genuine horse to work with, he is great fun and I think he would very much enjoy getting out and seeing the world. He is green for his age so I am looking for an experienced home to continue his education, so no novices please.

He happily lives in or out, is very well mannered and good to do.

He is working well in walk, trot and canter and over poles. He will happily pop a jump and has plenty of scope. He will make a fantastic allrounder, someone is definitely going to be very lucky to call him their new best friend! And he will be sorely missed.

He hacks alone on our gallops but has not hacked in traffic due to our location, the roads are just too dangerous to ride on. However he has seen a wide variety of large vehicles while he has been with us as we have had a lot of construction done on the yard. So he has seen all types of farm machinery and tractors, diggers, dumper trucks, rollers, cement mixer Lorrie’s, all sizes of wagons, wagons tipping loads. So providing he was introduced to traffic sensibly as you would any young/green horse, then I can’t see him being a bother.

Forever homes only please, no novices, no loans, no payment plans.

Serious enquiries only please.

I will not sell him unseen so please don’t ask. Homes will be vetted.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

Messages preferred please as I am very busy right now, if I feel you potentially might be the right match/home for him calls can be scheduled

12.3hh, 5 Year Old traditional Gelding.

I have owned Uno since he was a yearling, I bought him as a terrified, scrawny baby to keep my youngsters company through weaning, luckily he's grown up into a smart little pony with a nice attitude towards life. I know him inside out, he's grown hugely in confidence, he's safe & polite, can be handled by children. He'll stand to be groomed, fussed, easy to lead around. Never kicked or been nasty. He's good to do in all ways, loads and travels well, doesn't get over excited but definitely not your typical plod.

He was professionally backed and ridden away by an experienced child show rider last year, he was by no means rushed. He spent the winter with me at home, but due to no rider - he was intermittently ridden by an adult. I have since sent him back to be ridden and further his education.

Uno is established enough to go and become someone's best friend, whilst he is a little green, he's sensible and doesn't go anything stupid. He'll happy walk, trot and canter in a nice outline, pop a jump, hack out with company. He has been hacked alone, proving to be confident.
He's a smart pony, and a big mover under saddle - I feel he's do so well in the show ring but is also more than capable of taking a confident child out hunting, farm rides etc. I truly believe that this pony will go far in the right hands.

I'm seeking an experienced family home for him, somewhere he can continue his education, gain experience and live a fun life. He's never said no, and tries so hard to please. But more importantly, this pony owes me nothing. I am negotiable, long term loan, LWVTB or a loan from my premises in Crewe, Cheshire.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information, more videos and photos available.

  • Cob

  • 15 years
  • 13 hands
  • No vices
  • Loves to jump
  • Good to hack
Apple has been with us for nearly 3 years but is hopelessly outgrown so on the lookout for her next home. With us she has mostly been used to teach my daughter to ride, for the occasional pony club rally, local arena hires and shows and hacking out. She will hack out alone, and prefers to follow if in a group.

She is easy on the ground, leads well and will stand to be groomed for as long as you want if there is a haynet nearby! She has always been cared for by my daughter, and she is easy to do everything for. She is good for the farrier (front shoes) and is up to date with vaccines and teeth. Never sick or sorry.

She currently lives out at night with another mare, but has been on her own and in larger herds too. She doesn't mind individual turnout and is happy to come in. She comes straight to you in the field.

She would suit a whole range of riders, from a small novice to a competent teen or an older rider. She has been used on lead rein. She will step up or down dependent on the rider.

Priced to sell due to needing the stable for new larger pony for my growing teen.

Comes with bridle and some rugs, professionally fitted saddle negotiable separately.
