Looking for a best friend type, native/ cob around 15h (full up 14.2-15.2) no full welshies sorry!

Mare preferred and 8yrs+

Happy to hack alone in traffic and open spaces and who likes to have a canter out and about.

Schooled to prelim with a view to progressing to novice . I'm not looking for something to drill in endless circles. A school or lesson once a week and a dressage comp once a month would suit us 😁

A happy, kind soul with a calm temperament but who isn't dead to the leg, fun forward but safe 💗

They would be coming to a small home style yard with 2 other horses (unridden) but just the one pair of hands so ideally they would have good manners and be good to load, farrier, tie up etc. individual or group turnout to suit the horse. Nice big stable available for bad weather or to get out of the flies 🩷

They will have a fairly varied life, lots of hacking (mostly alone), flatwork lessons, local dressage, maybe some showing, beach rides, pole clinics, pub rides, possibly a bit of autumn hunting with the right one (cantering at the back having a gossip) just some relaxed fun, they don't need to be world beaters and we won't be taking ourselves too seriously 😅

South UK preferred and from a private home but will consider further a field.

Please email in the first instance. Thanks 🥰

Tentatively searching for my daughters very first owned horse. Competent 13 year old looking for a horse to call her own after years of sharing mum's horses! Must be over 15/15.2hh as she is tall. Mare or gelding, age not important. Mainly wanted for daily hacks from our current livery yard, straight out into the forest, occasional fun rides and regular sunny weekend days exploring the new forest! But what she really wants to do is start learning to jump. Not showjumping or cross country, just the occasional log in the forest or cross pole in the school. So any horse thats 'been there, done that' would be ideal. Not looking for a world beater, purely looking for a kind genuine horse that would enjoy being one of the most pampered and loved horses around!
Would be open to full loan, LWVTB or buying,however our budget to buy isnt huge.
Asking alot we know, but the perfect horse is out there somewhere ☺️

I’ll be completely honest…. I’m looking for something to catch my eye and wow me!

I’m either looking for a ridden horse or a companion, which sounds strange but I also have 2 others.

If ridden…..
I’m looking for a hacking partner.
Healthy budget for the right horse.
14hh minimum, no bigger than 15.2hh.
Nothing older than 14yrs.
Gelding preferred, may consider a really non-marey mare.
To do fun rides etc.
Must live out, travel in a trailer, hack alone or in company, be good to catch, clip, farrier etc.
Doesn’t need to enjoy schooling as neither do I. Can be spirited out hacking but must be reliable on the ground, not looking for nervy temperaments as I have a youngster that feeds off this.


If companion….
Anything up to 14hh.
Age not an issue but no health problems.
Gelding.
Must live out, be good to catch, farrier etc. Must be reliable on the ground as above.
A first ridden that has been outgrown and is looking for a new career or retirement.

Bonus points if they wears 5’6 rugs as I have an excess of these.

So if you’ve got this far and haven’t laughed too hard at my crazy advert please get in touch via email.

Thank you.

I am looking for a horse/pony to either full loan, LWVTB or buy.

Height: 14hh-15.1hh If smaller then 14hh, would have to be a weight carrier and a chunk.
Age: 7-15years
Gender: mare or gelding
Breed: ideally looking for a sporty cob type but open to anything.
Ideally something that can live out all year round.

I am looking for something kind, safe and genuine but that is willing to have fun and step it up a bit when asked. Needs to be good to hack in company (more then 4 horses together) and alone. I would like to do some schooling as well! Nothing too complicated just the basics. I would like to do some jumping but not something I’m overly fussed on ( I just like to know that I could pop a jump every now and then) I would like to go to some low level shows so needs to be good to load and travel. Needs to be able to be stables for a period of time, for vet, fairer etc.

My yard is based in ferdown so nothing too far from there but willing to travel for the right horse. Nothing over 1.5hour. My yard has direct forest access, a school on sight and a jump paddock that comes out in the summer.

I’ve been around horses for over 10 years and I’ve loaned multiple horses. I currently still have a share horse however she is older now and we are wanting to slow her down. I’m a calm, positive rider that wants her own horse to love and have fun on!

If you have anything that may be what I’m looking for please message me on WhatsApp or text messages and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! 07901718247

Thank you!!

we live on a private estate with 10acres of grazing. we have access to a stable but ideally the pony would live out 24/7 with a field shelter. They must be able to live alone.

Budget under £1600.

Seeking a new best mate to build confidence and progress to next level for a teen coming off riding school ponies. First and foremost is a fun friendship for daily fuss and keeping busy. A low level active family home awaits for a new best friend, mare or gelding. Lovely space on a livery yard with good facilities. Will be heading out hacking regularly and must be happy to head out alone and be happy in wide open spaces with a variety of livestock. Fun rides, beach rides and low level RC activities. Lots of support in place from experienced family and friends to support along the way. Have been looking for some time and ready to buy - just haven’t found our one yet. Ideally aged 6-14 - preferably to buy but also consider lwvtb.

I am a mature rider looking for a gelding 14 hh to 15 hh pony / horse to enjoy a super life hacking across the forest (Must be happy hacking alone on the forest!), having fun in the school: poles, small jumps, equitation. I don’t want to do endless circles but would love to be able to walk trot and canter in the arena , have lessons and go to clinics.
I am a competent rider but have had some knocks, which has left me a little nervous. I really want to build my confidence again, I know it’s bubbling inside me but it needs bringing out with an equine who equally wants to have some steady fun.
I don’t like stabling ponies, I like them to feel free and cared for in a kind environment.
If you think you have the right one for me, please get in touch and maybe I can offer the home that you would like your boy to go to. Jayne

Must be safe in all ways and suitable for a novice rider. Needs to be bombproof in traffic. Age 6 years +.

Will be for hacking mostly, but some light school work also.

Will go to a knowledgeable and loving home. Private buyer.
Can travel to view 2 hours approximately from Portsmouth.

Hi there,

Looking for my little boys best friend. He has just turned 3 and absolutely loves doing the horses with me. Currently riding my 14.2hh Welsh D who is perfect, she’s just a bit big… so looking for a tiny tots pony so that I can ride my girly and lead the new pony.

Kind and knowledgeable home in the new forest.

Said pony must:
- be happy living out 24/7 with a shelter
- be happy being on their own for short periods of time (as I often take my other two to clinics together etc).
- be suitable for a tiny tot to love and fuss
- be happy in a little herd

Maybe a pony who has had lots of love already but doesn’t have a small rider anyone.

Ideally a full loan to move to me. References available of course.

If you have anything suitable please email me and we can have a chat.

Many thanks, Anna

I am looking for a gelding to join my little herd of two retired horses and I need something that has been there, done that , and needs a quieter life.

Ideally he will be a good herd horse to be able to join my two quietly and what I would like to be able to do, is to go for hacks, go for fun rides , do some very low level basic dressage tests, in hand schooling and Trec and obstacle exercises,maybe very minimal jumping 70cm 80cm occasionally.. so basically something I can have some fun on that is not too lively anymore since at 70 I have gone past the stage of bucking youngsters etc. I am.good with horses lacking in confidence if they need to have a rider that gives them confidence.

I am very experienced .I can provide references, and I follow people like Warwick Schiller and do lots of horse centric work.
I am offering a horse a place at my home yard , where I have 24/7 turnout on grass track , field abd non grass track in summer and on non grass track in winter wuth free access into a double shelter with rubber matting and bedding on one side .
Looking to loan or buy .

Companion wanted for older forest mare. Under 12hh. Not fussed on age or breed but must be quiet to handle and safe around children and dogs.

We are looking for a special pony to join our family. We are an experienced home but seeking a quiet pony who enjoys hacking and is suitable for lead rein. Both my children have some special needs and we are seeking the appropriate pony. Must be about 14hh and have gentle safe ground manners. Pony must be happy to be a lead rein and to become a first ridden - although caveat this will not involve much schooling at all and will largely be going for gentle hacks.
The pony will live with our two other mares.
