Description
Heartbreaking sale of my much-loved mare Iris. Finding the right home is my absolute priority.I’ve owned her since she was 2 and have carefully backed her alongside my trainer. She is a chunky, hardy type with plenty of presence - she’d make a great hunter.Together we’ve done light schooling and a lot of hacking around village lanes, both in company and with someone on foot. We’ve not yet hacked completely solo, but once she’s built trust with a confident handler/rider, I think she’d be great to hack solo as she’s happy to take the lead when out in company. She can spook at birds in the bushes, but is unfazed by traffic, tractors, sheep, cows, and general village life. She enjoys her ridden work, has always looked after me and tries her best. We’ve recently moved yards and now have access to some amazing hacking along bridleways and she’s taken it all in her stride.Due to a change in circumstances in March, I have only been able to continue with groundwork and some light hacking this year. She’s ready for someone with the time and experience to bring her back into consistent ridden work and further her education. She will soon be schooled twice a week to build up her fitness. She will be an easy project for someone to help her reach her full potential – all of the foundations are there.She is still young and can be opinionated on the ground when unsure, so is therefore not suitable for a novice and requires a confident, knowledgeable home. Whilst she’s not particularly forward going in the school, she can be sharp given her age. She is very mareish so needs clear and consistent boundaries, particularly when she’s being handled. She’s very curious and brave for a youngster. I’ve done a lot of desensitising with her, and have also done working equitation (in hand as it was before she was backed), and she wasn’t phased by any of the obstacles.Iris has previously lived out 24/7 quite happily. She’s now currently in during the day and out at night, and is good to do in the stable – she has no vices (other than being quite messy!). She previously had front shoes due to the bridleways at our last yard, but is currently barefoot with no issues – she has good, solid feet. Whilst I don’t have my own transport and therefore haven’t taken her out much, she does load and travel well in a 3.5T (what I have had access to). Her teeth and vaccinations are up to date.£5,000. More photos and videos available from when she was in regular work. Tack and rugs available.This is an incredibly sad sale as I have invested a huge amount of time, effort and love into Iris and have formed a great bond with her. She has huge potential but sadly needs more work and consistency than I am able to provide.

We aim over the next year to erect more stabling and when this is done you will have your own stable at no extra cost. Price includes help if and when you need it with no extra charge, happy to help with rug changes, feeding, haying etc so if there’s a day you cannot get up don’t stress as between us we look out for each other.

Hatchelmil Dogger Bank; PEANUT 13.2hh 6-Year-Old Fully Registered New Forest Gelding with a Green Passport£3,500Peanut is a lovely 13'2hh, 6-year-old, fully registered New Forest gelding with a green passport. He is a genuine, kind pony with a wonderful temperament and is now looking for a home where he can continue his education.He was lightly backed and ridden away last year and then was sent to a jockey for the finishing touches before being turned away for the winter. A couple of months ago he was restarted, but due to my work commitments, he has unfortunately been turned away again and is now being offered for sale from the field.Peanut is easy to handle, loves people, and has a huge personality. He is a pleasure to have around.He has run the forest as a 2 year old and has seen Cows, sheep, pigs and farm machinery He has also ran with geldings, mares and foals He loves water and is often found chilling in our river He once made friends with one of our friends cows, which sums up his friendly nature perfectly.He has lived out all year without a rug, with access to shelter, and has been stabled when required. He is good for the farrier, and is an easy doer who happily lives off fresh air, only receiving a small token feed while the others eat.Peanut had previously sustained a cut to one of his foot that has left a faint scar. This has never affected his soundness, and he made a full recovery with no ongoing issues.This is an incredibly sad sale. I have had Peanut since he was just 9 months old, and this decision has not been made lightly. He deserves someone who has the time to continue his education and give him the job he deserves. I truly believe he will make a fantastic all-round pony thanks to his intelligence, and love of people.£3,500Please get in touch for more information or to arrange a viewing. Sold from fieldCan provide videos of peanut upon request.
Finding Harley the right home is incredibly important to us. He has been part of our family since he was a yearling, so this is a heartbreaking decision. He will only be sold to the very best of homes.Harley is a genuine, kind and honest all-round pony who has helped my daughter grow from a young rider into the confident rider she is today. The only reason he is looking for a new home is because she has now moved on to a bigger horse.Harley has three lovely paces and enjoys a varied life. He hacks confidently alone and in company, schools well, has attended clinics and fun rides, and is always willing to have a go. He is a safe, forward-thinking ride with good brakes and is never silly or strong.He is not a kick-along or first-ridden pony. Harley enjoys his job and goes nicely from the leg, so he is best suited to a confident child or small adult who wants a responsive, enjoyable pony to continue progressing with.One of Harley’s biggest achievements was completing a successful year on loan at a riding school, where he proved himself to be kind, reliable and much loved by riders of varying abilities.He has impeccable manners on the ground and loves attention. He is good to catch, groom, clip, load and travel, and is up to date with vaccinations, teeth and routine healthcare.Harley has been successfully managed barefoot for several years and is trimmed regularly. He happily wears hoof boots when hacking on particularly stony ground. He is hammer shy, so he is not suitable for shoeing, but this has never affected his ridden career.Harley would suit someone looking for a genuine all-round pony to enjoy hacking, schooling, clinics and fun rides while building a lasting partnership. He is a much-loved member of our family, has never been passed from home to home, and finding the right match is far more important than a quick sale.£6,250 ONO. Serious enquiries only, please.

It is with no rush and only because my daughter is outgrowing him that we are considering finding our much-loved pony his perfect new home.He is a 21-year-old, 12.2hh British Riding Pony gelding who has been an absolute dream for us. He has done a little Pony Club, but the majority of his time has been spent hacking, which is where he is happiest. He hacks alone or in company, happily leads alongside my horse, and has cantered sensibly in large groups. That said, he has also taught my daughter a few lessons along the way! His favourite trick is putting his head down when there's particularly nice grass, which was easily solved with grass reins. He has just enough character to teach a child the odd riding lesson while always remaining kind, safe and genuine.He truly is the sort of pony every parent hopes to find. He is a perfect lead rein pony who is also ideal for a child to progress onto as their first ridden. He is incredibly patient, kind and forgiving, and nothing seems to faze him.He is definitely more woah than go and is much happier plodding along than rushing about. I can happily sit back at Pony Club and watch without a single worry because, if anything, most of the time he would rather not move! He gives children confidence rather than excitement and looks after his little riders every step of the way.Babies have poked fingers up his nose, children have climbed all over him, stood on his back and jumped off, and he simply takes it all in his stride. My daughter does all of his day-to-day handling herself, and even my novice son, who isn't horsey at all, can catch, groom and lead him because he is so gentle and easy to manage.He lives out on a large hill with a herd of geldings and settles brilliantly in a herd environment. He is an easy keeper with a laid-back nature and is happy to turn out with mares or geldings. He currently wears front shoes purely because our hacking routes and fields are very stony, but he was happily barefoot before.He has always been treated exactly the same as my sports horse and has never been "just the child's pony." He has received the very best of care throughout his life, including routine physio and chiropractic treatments as part of his regular maintenance. He has also had dental work to ensure his teeth are now in excellent condition, and I am happy to discuss this with genuine buyers and provide the veterinary report for complete transparency.We feel he deserves a home where he can enjoy life at a slightly slower pace. He has given my daughter so much confidence, but she is now ready for more than he enjoys doing. We would love to see him teaching another little rider the ropes, with plenty of grass, fuss and family life. He isn't the pony for a child wanting to bomb around fields or jump big tracks every weekend. Instead, he deserves a family looking for a safe, sensible and confidence-giving pony who will happily carry a little one on the lead rein before becoming their trusted first ridden partner.He comes with his full wardrobe of tack and rugs, so he is ready to go and start his next adventure with his new little rider.This is a heartbreaking decision, so finding the right home is far more important than a quick sale. Homes will be chosen very carefully for this very special little pony. £3500 ono
HolsteinerBay Mare17 years15.3hh / 161cmCapitols girl (known on the yard as Nina) is a sweet natured, kind, 15.3hh, 17 year old Mare.

Good to bath, groom, stands quietly to be tacked up and is not mare-ish in any way. She’s currently in work and in good condition. Nina needs an annual SI injection, last done 2 months ago.Up to date with all teeth, vaccinations, farrier, worming.Sad sale as we have recently had a huge vets bill from colic surgery on another pony. Serious enquires and a 5* only for this amazing mare.£5000 no tack included in sale
Poppy is looking for her best friend 🥰She is a 14/14.1 new forest x hackney who I have owned from 6 months old but sadly she hasn't made the height for me to continue with her and I don't have a consistent rider to take her forward.She turned 6 in April and has been sensibly started allowing her to have all the time she needed to mature (and grow!)Backed at 4 , hacked for the summer and autumn at 5 and now ready for someone to put their own stamp on her and enjoy her. She is currently being hacked 4/5 times a week and enjoying her riding time.She loves her person and develops a close bond. Easy to catch, farrier (barefoot) , tack up, mount, hose. She's hacked alone and in company (a little wary alone when getting to know you but happy to be told what to do!) and is very brave with unusual sights. She has seen and ridden past cows and been out to a show in a busy environment. She is still a young horse though so would like an experienced rider to show her the ropes in her new home. She has never shown any bad behaviour under saddle, no bucking, rearing, bolting etc. She isn't the finished article and should be considered as a nicely started project ready to see the world!She lunges off of voice commands and is a lovely little horse. Poppy appears to enjoy jumping and takes herself off over little fences in the field, she has never attempted to jump out of her field and is very respectful of her fencing 🩷I have many photos and videos of her which I can send via Whatsapp Poppy is based in Jersey and there is regular transport for horses to the mainland. Double check if you need to pay VAT on import.Very sad sale but if she stays with me she will just be a field ornament which would be a shame as she thrives on her human time 🩷 6k 🥕 she has a full wardrobe that can come with her, fitted saddle at extra cost but good price!Please Whatsapp in first instance

Mellow is very sadly for sale as her jockey is ready to move onto a horse. She has an amazing jump and is schooling in a nice outline, although we haven't done dressage with her. She jumps over a 1m at home easily and competed at 80cm show jumping (although could easily compete higher). She is easy to catch, load, shoe, clip, vet, teeth etc and she will hack alone or in company. She can give a buck and can still be a little green at times and needs a good rider to give her confidence and as is therefore not a novice ride. With the right rider she could excel, particularly in show jumping. £9000
