MINNIE

We have had Minnie for the past three years, where she stepped down and guided her nervous, 11 year old rider through on to be a brave, confident and happy 14 year old! She is the perfect 1.5/2nd pony. She will always look after her rider, a real been there, done it type who needs to find a new person to help bring on and have lots of fun with.

Minnie will turn her hoof to anything and has had a varied life of hunting, eventing (loves a ODE/hunter trial!), show jumping, cross country, mounted games, beach rides and pony club rallies and camps. She always behaves beautifully at any event she attends. She loads well and will travel alone and in company and happy to stand quietly on the trailer/lorry to wait.

She has compete at courses of 90cm/1m but out at competitions now in a big arena, she is more comfortable and happy at 75/80. She is always praised for how quick she is against the clock and loves a jump off turn!

Minnie loves going out on a hack, she is happy alone or in company and is super safe in an open space. She loves to have fun out on beach rides and she also really enjoys mounted games, again, her aptitude for a tight turn often puts her in the lead for the barrel turns or weaving! She just loves it!

Minnie is polite, good to catch and easy to handle; safe for a child to bring in, take out etc. She is happy to stand to be groomed, great for the dentist/farrier/vet etc and a dream to clip. She is a good doer and super easy to care for.

Really sad sale due to her current rider out growing her and needing to move onto horses. Home is super important to us. Minnie has been used to a pampered life with regular clips/physio/salt therapy sessions to help keep her in peak condition! We would love to find her a new best friend who can love her as much as we do. She prefers a quiet, calm, kind rider; if she feels loved she will give you the world. Don’t let her age put you off, she is an absolute superstar and still has so much to give!

We will be keeping her saddle but happy to include bridle and all her rugs (she has a fair few!)

  • 13 hands
  • School master
  • Show jumping pony
  • Good all rounder
Darcy has been my daughter's pony for the past 4 years but he's been hopelessly outgrown and a change in circumstances has forced a very sad sale.

We are still very much in touch with his old owner who had him for 11 years prior.

Please don't let his age put you off, he is not ready to retire and he's still very much full of life and is completely sound and I would love to see him making another child's dreams come true.

Darcy is a forward going fun responsive ride and is quick off the leg.

Darcy really excels at Showjumping and is very fast against the clock and is always in the placings even in very large classes. He has recently been out competing at 50/60cms with ease.

He has done mounted games and pony club racing in the past and was very successful.

To hack he is bomb proof on the roads but can get a bit excited before a gallop. He has never bucked or reared.

Darcy has taken my daughter from doing lead rein/first ridden on him to winning overall junior at our local riding club for the past 3 years and representing the club at STARS at Aintree.

He really excels in the show ring with his flashy movement and effortlesss transitions.

He also makes a good working hunter and will produce a lovely dressage test.

He is up to date with teeth, feet, worming, injections, physio etc and is currently bare foot.

He will come with all his tack (including shires hi lite saddle/show saddle/every day bridle/show bridle) and rugs. The right home is more important than price.

He was then turned out in the field over the winter to have a complete rest.
He is now back in work, out hacking, cantering across open fields and popping over some SJ jumps in the field and he hasn’t put a foot wrong.

He is super easy to catch, clip, shoe, load in trailer or lorry. He is up to date with teeth & worming.

Beautiful, fun, fast, capable Welsh mare for sale.

15 years old, 12.1HH

2nd pony suitable for a competent and confident rider looking for a fun pony to go on adventures with. We have had Poppy for 4 years and in that time we have done lots - show jumping, pony club games, fancy dress rides, liberty camps, swimming, new forest rides, general hacking and schooling. In the home before us she was a mounted games pony, although we have not competed at this, but done lots of games like it at home.

She requires a family and little person who will take the time to build a bond with her to allow her to flourish. She is forward, but has breaks and doesn't bolt, buck or rear. Although small, she is very competent and will easily jump 60-70cm with scope for higher. She loves to jump and has always brought home a rosette or two.

Excellent to handle - the children do everything with her. She is great with dentist, vet, farrier (she is barefoot). Great to load and travel, happy to live in or out and with a herd or alone.

A sad sale, but my daughter has desperately outgrown her and is too good to leave in a field.

  • Enthusiastic and Forward.
  • Fit and ready to go.

Mac has been my daughter’s pony of a lifetime. My daughter is still loving every minute of riding him and he is at peak fitness and she has not outgrown him. But he is nearly 19yo and needs to go down a level with a younger jockey. He doesn’t want to do hedges anymore, and as he tries 100%, 100% of the time, I don’t want to ask that of him.

We have had Mac for 4 years, since my daughter was 9yo. In that time, he has done 4 Pony Club Camps (two being residential Camps), XC, SJ, Hunter Trials and trail hunting.

He used to do dressage though we have hardly done that. He really loves his trail hunting, standing very still at the meet, very good with hounds, jumps all timber, brilliant at ditches, but can be strong. When my daughter was younger, we needed to keep things very steady and manage his enthusiasm, as he is keen to a jump. Good for farrier, clipping, loads on lorry or trailer, lives in or out, hacks alone, can be lead. Up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth etc.

Will come with tack and rugs and fit and ready to go.

Mac is one in a million and will only go to the right home for him.
