Hello, I am a mature rider on the lookout for a horse over 15.2hh for quiet hacking, leisure rides and the odd clinic. Said horse may be retiring from competition use due to age, or requiring a quieter pace of life due to injury or illness, or happy & healthy, however all medical conditions/vices must be disclosed please. My only big ask, horse must hack out alone and in company & be good in traffic. If you have or know of such a horse, to buy, or loan, or LWVTB that would fit the above lifestyle, please get in touch.

WANTED: 5 star knowledgeable loving home for life seeks New Forest youngster/pony…

Best home imaginable seeks a pure bred (green passport) New Forest youngster/pony to buy. Happy to also consider Forest bred pony which has run on the Forest even if not on a green passport.

Any age from yearling upwards as long as fully weaned, halter broken and quiet to lead. Ideally currently based in the New Forest area so it isn’t phased by crab flies!

No competition/show ponies please, nor riding ponies per se, as this pony is primarily sought as a family pony and companion to my now semi-retired New Forest mare who would like a gentle new friend to keep her company.

Kind, sensible, laid back temperament the single most important criteria as the pony will also be handled and fussed over by children occasionally (with adult supervision) so must be kind, gentle and trustworthy.
