Very sadly I am looking for a loan home for my lovely Hatty, due to difficult circumstances.

She’s approx 13.3hh, 17yo NFxTB, and has been out of work for a long time so would suit as a companion and somewhat happy hacker. She is loving and well behaved on the ground but can be an excitable ride. It’s so important to me she goes to the most loving 5 star home so I will be completely honest about all her quirks. She is currently turned out 24/7 but has been stabled in the past and loves it.

She is my childhood pony but due to my own circumstances I am looking for her to go out on loan for a year or so. She is not a straightforward ride and can be very forward and throw in a buck and sadly sometimes she will rear out of protest. Which is why i’d be happy for her to go out as a companion or a happy hacker for a confident rider. There is still fun to be had with her by the right rider, she has hunted, done XC and show jumped but has been out of work for a couple of years apart from the odd hack. She still loves a good gallop but equally loves her retired lifestyle.

She has had a couple of laminitis spells but has always been managed by box rest/diet and has never had any rotation. No other health issues and is currently shod on the front.

Currently based in Colehill and could stay at current yard for the right person.

Will answer any questions honestly as she must go to an incredibly loving, experienced home.

Lovely mare offered for long term full loan to loving person who would treat as their own -will have sole use. Currently on DIY grass livery on outskirts of Winchester where would prefer her to stay but would consider letting her move for right person and facilities as long as regular checks could be undertaken. She has been out of work for just over a year so would need to be brought back into work slowly. Loaner to take full responsibility for all daily care and visits, to include feeding and rugs when necessary, help with field management etc. Currently living happily in a mixed herd. No stable or facilities but lovely hacking. Other horse owners very friendly and not your "typical yard". Owner happy to continue to cover cost of field rent - loaner to cover costs of hard feed (she lives mainly on fresh air!), feet trimming, and hay when required, and will need to have own riders insurance. Please only apply if you are looking for a long term loan

Bally is a 25 year old Connemara gelding, 15.1 h. he has been retired for the last 18 months due to arthritis.
He is looking for a permanent home as a field companion. He loves human contact and can live with mares or geldings. Very easy to handle, he can live out all year but is happy to be stabled too. He has had no veterinary treatment in the last year and is on no medication. He is extremely affectionate and a good doer.
Bally is currently out at grass with other retired horses.
Please contact me with any questions.

We are looking for a new companion home for our 11.1hh grey. She is so sweet and friendly and neighs whenever she hears the door open and follows you around while poo picking. She sadly cannot be ridden due to her back but she still has lots of love to give. She loves kids and affection. Please do contact me if you can offer her a home. Thank you

Due to current loan coming to an end, this lovely 9-year old competition horse will be available for full loan from beginning of December. Professionally backed and carefully produced, he is ready to continue his education and further his career.

Currently competing and regularly placed at Prelim level, he is not yet the finished article but is well on his way to fulfilling his potential. This talented little horse is keen to work and would suit a confident, sympathetic rider looking to progress through the levels. No vices, never sorry or sick, open to vetting. Open to selling him in the right circumstances. Serious enquiries only no timewasters not suitable for a novice or under 18s. 07564 409321.

Sharptor Thomasina
Registered Black Standard Mare 6yr old 40/41 inch when last measured.
Professionally backed and ridden away as a 4 yr old
Bright, busy, forward going mare that jumps beautifully, hacks well, good in traffic, not spooky, good to load, catch and good with farrier and dentist.
Eager to work. Happy on and off lead rein. Whilst she is incredibly bombproof and confident in nature, she has proved in her previous loan home that she needs a slightly more confident/strong rider than a tiny tot learning how to ride. She’s a sweet mare that loves attention and a cuddle. She would benefit in a home that will keep her busy, she needs a job in life.

Nobby is 7 yrs and 16.2hh - ex racer and ROR eligible.

Owned for 4 years he’s been my best friend but I need help as I’m short for time so I’m looking for someone to love him like their own. Located in Everleigh, Wiltshire and will not be moving. Flexible on days and how often. There will be a financial contribution required.

Nobby has done a bit of everything. Shows, XC, fun rides etc.

- Good to shoe, vet, catch and clip.
- Good stable manners and loves a fuss
- Loads and travels well in a lorry or side trailer. Will load into a small trailer but not done for a long time so unsure how he would be.
- Lives out alone or in a herd
- Hacks well alone or in company
- Jumped up to 105cm but not done for about a year.
- We don’t school much due to us enjoying being out and about. If bored in the school he can rear but it’s not often. This is a learnt behaviour and I have no doubt with a confident strong rider this will be easy to correct. That being said he will not suit a purely schooling home.
- Out hacking does listen well but again needs someone who knows what to feel for and be confident.
- Has an impeccable jump and has always been so honest.
- A few past injuries that I’m more than happy to discuss in full to anyone interested. Not effecting him at all now.
- Needs a disciplined, consistent rider who is willing to put the work in as this is a horse that needs a job.

It’s been a hard decision but I’m offering Bella out for full loan to stay at current yard based in Holt. I’ve owned Bella for almost 5 years and she’s been a dream and has looked after me, but sadly I just don’t have enough time to keep her in consistent work and feel that this amazing girl is being wasted.
Bella is never nasty and loves bonding with her rider. She’s very safe and sensible but not for a novice because if she detects you’re not confident and experienced she won’t go forward. She needs someone kind but firm. She hasn’t done much over the summer so schooling needs some work but once she’s back in regular work she’s a dream. Videos and photos available at request.
No under 18’s, no novices and no time wasters. Genuine enquiries only.

Rory - available for full loan to excellent home for light hacking only.

10 year old, 17.1/2hh.
Rory is such a lovely boy with a huge character. An easy keeper and really easy to do. Turns out with others fine. He’s a funny lovable character, a bit of a toddler on the ground he’s hilarious and if something can go in his mouth and be thrown across the yard it will be.

Available only as a light hack, pootle about a couple of times a week/short canter here and there. Pretty bomproof to ride very good in traffic, can occasionally have a jig jog and a squeak/tiny leap so no novices please, but you’d have to try pretty hard to fall off him. Happily hacks alone and doesn’t matter if he’s had some time off you can just hop up on him.
He is a fantastic pub horse and will stand about happily while you have a drink!
Wouldn’t cope with lots of trotting on the roads and unfortunately wouldn’t hold up to a ‘proper’ job hence reason for loan. He’s not on any maintenance/injections, eats hay (lots of) and basic feed, shod every 6 weeks nothing fancy. Would benefit from physio every 3/4 months or so if back in work and possibly a supplement like boswellia or something.
Lived out last winter with good shelter/rugs and plenty of forage but happily stables too although he won’t tolerate lots of stabling with no turnout so nowhere that has horses in all winter please. Only out of work as we don’t have the time to ride him as too many others in full work. Happy to discuss his niggles to anyone seriously interested but please don’t enquire if really, you want to jump/school regularly/go off on regular fast hacks etc. Will have his saddle, bridle and rugs with him.
No novices please he’s too big and I want someone that will be able to notice if he needs a slightly easier week/not looking 100%. And only kind loving owners! He is the kindest, most generous horse to walk this earth and he means the world to us.

Please pop me a message if interested and I’ll call you back as soon as I can. I’d like him not to go too far away from us (down south) and we will need references and a contract drawn up. We won’t be coming to whip him away from you if he’s loved and cared for, he’d be yours as long as you want him but he’s always got a place here so he can come back if needed.

Handsome boy with tons of character – a real head-turner and easy to handle / travel. Great with kids, dogs, vet, dentist, farrier.

We’ve owned Rags for 14 years and he has been a fun 1st / 2nd pony for myself, sister and loan homes. He’s done low-level showing, pony club, fun rides and hunting.

He’s a safe, but forward ride. Excellent as a lead rein pony, but off the lead rein he can be sharp so would suit a 1st / 2nd pony for a confident child who won’t be phased by the odd spook.

We’re looking for a kind, low-level rider / home where he can enjoy life and have fun without being pushed too hard. He’d suit a confident child or family wanting to do a bit of everything for enjoyment – light hacking, gentle schooling, fun rides and light Pony Club activities.

🔹 Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, and farrier
🔹 Tack and rugs included

Available due to no fault of his own – sadly outgrown. Available for full-loan to right person / part-loan with financial contribution.

Please get in touch if you think you could be the right fit for Rags :)

13.1h Non ridden companion mare. Contact for more detail

I have a wonderful rising 9 tb ex racer gelding but please do not let this put you off he's a super sweet boy who just wants to please. He will need bringing back into work through no fault of his own but he will be fairly easy to do this with. He has never ever bucked reared or bolted, he's not keen on school work but that being said he can produce some lovely work has popped a jump and loves to hack. Safe in traffic never silly or strong, stands as good as gold to be tacked up and groomed, excellent to clip. Teeth due December as done every 6 months, is on minimal feed as is a good doer. MUST stay at present yard near Blandford this is non negotiable.
