🐴 Sunday Yard Position – Sway 🐴

Our current weekend girl has had to drop a day, so we’re now looking for someone friendly, reliable and experienced to join our team and work Sundays.

We’re a small, friendly private yard based in Sway, with six horses. The role involves general yard duties. There is also the possibility of minimal riding, mainly taking some of our older horses out for gentle hacks. Occasional additional days may also be available if wanted.

Hours: 8am–11am, 2 hour break, 1pm–4:30pm

You’ll usually be working alongside another member of the team, although there may be the occasional day where you’ll be required to work alone.

A level of experience is required. We’re looking for someone who is confident, reliable and has a calm and caring approach to the horses.

If you think this could be a good fit for you, please get in touch with a little bit about yourself and your previous experience. 😊

🌟 ABERLOGIN DWYNWEN – 7yo Welsh Section D Mare 🌟

A lovely 7-year-old Welsh Section D mare with excellent breeding and a really exciting future ahead of her.

Poppy was very much a field ornament until this summer, when she was brought in and started her ridden education. She has taken to life under saddle exceptionally well and is proving to be a very sweet, willing and uncomplicated mare.

She has been backed this summer and is currently walking and trotting under saddle, already working nicely into a contact for such a green horse. She has started schooling and is progressing really nicely, has hacked out alone and has now been introduced to poles.

She is very good for the farrier, vet and loading, and is a genuinely lovely mare to have around. Although she is still very green in her education, she has shown a fantastic attitude to everything asked of her and is enjoying her new ridden life.

Beautifully bred, with a lovely traditional Welsh D stamp, she is an exciting prospect for someone wanting to bring on a quality young mare and produce her their way. With time, patience and continued education, she has the potential to be a really lovely riding horse and someone’s future best friend.

A very genuine opportunity to purchase a quality, unspoilt Welsh D who has only just begun her ridden career and has taken to it beautifully.

Practical and spacious 3-horse lorry with useful living accommodation, ideal for competitions and stays or somewhere warm and nice to sit !

The horse area is roomy and well ventilated, with partitions, windows and a wide rear ramp for easy loading. There is also plenty of external locker storage on both sides and horse shower.

126cm | 7-year-old dark bay mare | £8500

Disney is the kindest, most genuine pony and has all the makings of a top-class LR/FR pony.

She hacks alone or in company and is excellent in traffic. Her previous owners have enjoyed taking her to the beach & open spaces, so she is used to getting out and about and seeing the world.

Disney has been attending riding club and has previously been jumped by a 5-year-old. She is currently progressing beautifully from being led to coming off the lead with very inexperienced children.

She is a pleasure to handle and is good to box, shoe and trim. Disney is the sort of pony who is simply lovely to have around very much like having an overgrown dog! 🥰 She is easy to take anywhere and is a real pleasure to have around.

A truly special little mare who would make a wonderful LR/FR pony and family friend. 💕

Anglo European Bay Mare years16.3hh / 171cm
-Plenty of scope
-Children on Horses
-Striking Looks
-Super well-bred, ( chin chin ) kind and willing mare with plenty of scope for more.

Kelly is a fantastic amateur’s horse who has taken her current owner from zero to consistently jumping 1.10m and beyond. She has a wonderfully easy, gentle and willing temperament and is the type of horse that gives her rider confidence.

At 16.3hh, Kelly is exceptionally easy to keep and a pleasure to ride. She is completely unphased by a less experienced rider and is always eager to please, making her an ideal club-level horse with the ability to progress further.

Kelly has jumped up to 1.30m in the UK and has been successfully ridden by amateurs. Recent work with a professional rider has shown that she has the potential to step back up the levels.

Kelly has:

* Excellent, balanced paces

* Easy changes

* Plenty of scope

* A genuine willingness to work

* Striking looks


She could also be well suited to club-level dressage or eventing and would make a fantastic all-round competition horse for the right rider.

A very genuine opportunity to purchase a talented, experienced and kind mare who is equally happy helping an amateur gain confidence or showing her potential with a professional..

Searching for a companion home for my lovely pony Jack.

I am looking for the perfect forever, companion home for my very special boy, Jack.

Jack is an 18yr old, 13hh Welsh section C gelding who absolutely does not act his age. Jack is an absolute angel to have on the yard, with manners to die for, and is genuinely one of the easiest and loveliest ponies you could wish to have around.

Jack was retired from ridden work two years ago due to arthritic hocks. We tried steroid injections and rehabilitation, but unfortunately he never came sound. Since then, he has been happily retired and living his best life.

Sadly, my circumstances have now changed. I am currently at university and no longer have a job, and with a teenage pregnancy, I am having to make the heartbreaking decision to find Jack a new home.

Jack will be rehomed as a companion only. I am not looking to make any money from him whatsoever. The only thing that matters to me is finding him the right home.

I do want to be completely honest about his needs:

🐴 Jack must have company at all times and cannot live alone.
🐴 He has had EMS in the past, so his diet, weight and grazing will need to be carefully managed.
🐴 He is very much a fair-weather Welsh pony and will need stabling during the winter. I do believe he could happily live out with a good field shelter and appropriate management.
🐴 He is retired and cannot be ridden. He is looking for a quiet, loving retirement as a companion.
🐴 He is fantastic with mares, geldings, dogs, children and general yard life. His manners really are second to none.

Jack means the absolute world to us. He has been a huge part of our lives, and this is not a decision I have made lightly.

Because of how much he means to us, I am going to be extremely particular about his new home. I don't want him passed around from home to home, and I would much rather wait as long as necessary for the right person than let him go somewhere that isn't suitable.

I am looking for someone who genuinely wants to give Jack a safe, loving and permanent home, and who understands and is happy to manage his individual needs.

If you think you may be able to offer Jack the retirement home he deserves, please message me with some information about yourself, your setup, his potential companion(s), and what life would look like for him.

Jack is up to date with vaccinations, teeth, wormer, hooves.

Jack is PERFECT to shoe, box, dentist you name it! I really can’t say a bad word about him.

I can supply references. You’re also welcome to talk to my vet, fair etc. Jack has been VERY well looked after and I wish for this to continue.

Would ideally like Jack to stay local to Hampshire, but will consider other areas if the home is suitable.

I am willing to contribute financially what I can afford. (to be discussed) to make sure jacks needs are met.

This is like new as only used a handful of times and always with a numnah underneath so clean. Lovely unusual plumb colour.

The Barefoot® ‘Ride-on-Pad’ Physio has a special, paddable, velcroed-on underside. It comes with 2 different sets of shims (Rubber Foam and soft PU Foam) which can be inserted into the underside of the pad. The shims ensure spinal clearance and additional protection of the horse’s back.
The Barefoot® ‘Ride-on-Pad’ Physio has a v-girthing which distributes the pressure along the entire pad.
The Barefoot® ‘Ride-on-Pad’ Physio is padded with high density foam in alternating thickness and is very stable on the horse’s back due to the Sympanova material on the underside. The upper side is made from microfibre which ensures good grip for the rider even at speed. The girthing is stabilized by patches, which have real sheep wool on the underside so the girthing does not irritate the coat along the horse’s side.
• D-rings to attach bags
• grab handle made from sturdy nylon
• horse friendly girthing
• non-slip, paddable underside with Sympanova
• complete with 2 sets of shims

These are £225 new , I’m asking £110 but open to offers.

For riding club activities and low level endurance.

To come and live with another gelding on a private yard of 7 horses. We can offer an experienced (30+ years) kind home with lovely grazing and good shelters, sand school on site and a home for life. Happy to keep in contact with previous owners and references available.

Sensible budget for the right horse.

Albie is a very smart 15.2 gelding who would excel as a teenager's allrounder.

A very sad sale due to the closure of our riding school, unfortunately he just isn't big enough for me to keep for myself.

I bought Albie two years ago for our riding school, but it soon became obvious he was anxious about lots of new riders. We kept him just for me and one other rider for about six months then slowly introduced more riders.

I had completely lost my confidence jumping and he has completely regained my confidence, trotting in to everything with me. Saying that, he is not suitable for a complete novice as is very forward, but being used to thoroughbreds, he is just what I needed. He would be fantastic for a capable teenager as he is very talented and will go far. The two competitions I have done, I have come home with rosettes both times. We have also been to lots of clinics, camps, xc schooling etc.

He has now had many riders and is a firm favourite. Unfortunately he will not hack alone, but is a lovely hack with company in groups of any size. Brilliant with traffic. We know most of his past and can share this with anyone interested.

Albie is a lovely boy to have around. Turns out individually or groups. He is good to shoe, catch, clip, travel etc.

Lovely 14.2hh 17y/o Chestnut new forest Mare
Low mileage , full history known looking for a happy hacking or low level all rounder home. Was owned by an older lady before in a happy hacking home until I purchased her 2 years ago. Since I've owned her she has been to Pony Club, dressage, Showjumped upto 90, ODE, xc schooling. Would excel in the show ring. Happily hacks out alone and in company. She is forward going but has breaks. not a silly type doesnt buck, rear, bolt etc. Lives out in a herd of mares currently. She is barefoot. Good to catch clip bath brush etc. Would suit an older child or teen for pony club or would equally make a great happy hacker. Only for sale as rider moving onto horses. Ruby is very sweet and just wants a nice home with someone to love her. Although an older lady she is extremely low mileage as her first home had her since a yearling and only sold her due to health reasons.

£4000 with tack & rugs.

Blue is a 13.2/3hh 13y/o New Forest gelding. Chunky boy!!

I have mainly hacked Blue in the forest so he is used horses, cattle and donkeys.
Good in the field with mares, geldings, colts, donkeys (plus a Jack) and cows.
He lives off of thin air so very cheap to keep. Lives out 24/7 but good to stable too if required.
Up to date with teeth

Last season I hunted Blue and he was a gentleman and took it all in his stride. Was happy being upfront or at the back. He flies over jumps and not strong!! I haven’t ridden him much since then due to work commitments so not the fittest at the moment.
I have also taken him on a couple drifts.
Barefoot and not footy. I have had him shod for hunting - personal preference as I always put atleast fronts on for hunting but he would of been fine barefoot.

He is not a novice ride as he’s got low mileage and can be a typical cheeky forester. Would suit a teenager/lightweighg adult.

He’s a sweet boy but I simply don’t have the time for riding him. Would make someone very happy.

Very sad sale of Wally due to lack of time and finances.

Wally is a perfect low level all rounder or happy hacker.

I bought Wally as a just backed 4 year old and spent 3 years doing low level dressage, show jumping and lots of hacking. For the last 2 years Wally has been turned out in a herd, he has been back in work since May doing flat work and hacking.
He is currently ridden by an 11 year old girl.
He can be strong so wouldn’t be suitable for a novice.

Wally is good to do in all ways, he is perfect to be shod, clip, bath, load, travel and genuinely loves attention.
He is happy living out 24/7 or stabled and is happy in a herd or on individual turnout as long as he has company nearby.

Wally does have some medical history which is reflected in his price and will be fully disclosed to all serious buyers.

5 star homes only and homes will be vetted
