I am looking for a companion for my young, well behaved and very sociable TB gelding and would consider anything from a Shetland to a 16.2, a non ridden to a happy hacker. Permanent loan or purchase considered for a horse with the right temperament. I can offer a 5* private home to suit something with a calm disposition. Must be well mannered in all respects, perhaps a family pony that has outlived its usefulness or a companion no longer needed. I am a qualified Equestrian professional with many years competing and teaching experience. My yard and grazing is adjacent to my home in a rural location on Hampshire/West Sussex border.

Looking to help exercise and with stable duties. Currently work 4 days on, 2 days off so available different days each week.

I’ve ridden all my life, now 48 years old. Haven’t ridden since selling my last horse 5 years ago. A true happy hacker at heart, not interested in schooling/competing, love the looking after as much as riding and happy to muck in!

Based near Corfe Castle until end of October.

For mother-daughter share.

We would like a fun and forward horse to be our next partner in crime after the sad loss of our pony. Will mostly be hacking and schooling, with some low level jumping, riding club activities, sponsored rides etc.

Must be happy with living out all year round and must be ok hacking alone. Don’t mind a bit of spookiness or cheekiness, but nothing dangerous. Must be easy to do on the ground as we don’t have a stable so our horses need to be calm being tied to the fence to get ready.

Experienced confident home with good grazing (with ability to limit to a track if restricted grazing required), gentle companion and lots of love awaits.

Hi,
I’m looking for a calm and safe horse for recreational riding one day a week.

I am 38 years old, weigh 52 kg, and am 165 cm tall. I live near Totton. I ride calmly and safely (walk, trot, and canter) and I don’t jump. I’m mainly interested in relaxed riding and spending time with the horse.

I previously part-loaned a horse, but sadly he passed away six months ago due to age and illness. I can provide references from the owner.

I’ve been going through a difficult time and would really love to find a kind, preferably older horse to care for and spend time with. I would also love to build a nice bond with the horse.

My English isn’t perfect, but I can communicate.

If you have a suitable horse or know someone who does, please feel free to contact me.

Many thanks.

Looking for a safe, older pony for a competent teen rider. Must be sensible, good in open spaces, and enjoy hacking with some low‑level dressage. No bucking or rearing.

Happy to consider ponies with manageable health conditions. Long‑term, caring family home in the New Forest with regular riding, varied hacking, and excellent turnout.

Due to sad loss of my super mare a year, ago, I am seeking a new equine friend for fun times at a low level. Mare or gelding, not fussed on colour or breed. 14.2 hh and over, for Riding club, fun rides, hacking, schooling and some dressage. I have lots of time and love to give something that needs a bit more exercise and I also enjoy all the chores that go with keeping a horse. I do have my own transport to get out and about. If you have something that would benefit from any/all of that, please get in touch. Can provide references. I am very reliable and trustworthy and have owned and loaned horses for over 20 years. Within half hour drive of SO53.

Hi my names Ellie, I am 14 years old and looking to help someone with riding their horse etc.

I can do 2 times a week (evening if in the week, and weekends), and more in the holidays.

I am 5ft 8, 7.5 stone. Would need horse to be at least 15hh. I have been riding for 8 years. I am quiet in nature but capable and confident. I can canter, jump & some dressage. I am experienced in riding in school and out on hacks. I have done lots of stable management/pony care days at riding school etc and have ridden/cared for friends private horses.

At the Riding Academy I currently go to, I am riding 15.2- 17hh OTTB and warm bloods who are mainly ex eventers.

I am very mature & reliable. Both my mum and grandmother have had horses in the past. Looking for Bournemouth and surrounding locations, that has opportunity to ride in a school and on hacks.

Can provide photos/ videos if required.

Thankyou

My very inexperienced daughter would like to start riding locally around Salisbury. I am after a small pony for her to ride and learn the basics. She adores horses and would love to have a pony to share with someone who has a pony that’s safe and very much a push button ride. If you have a safe pony that needs some exercise please get in touch.

Thanks

Experienced, sympathetic rider offering schooling, training and exercise for the right horse.

I am a lightweight adult rider and have ridden since childhood, having owned and competed horses for most of my life. Due to a very time-consuming career, I’m no longer able to own a horse, but I’m keen to build a genuine partnership while offering consistent, correct training and care.

I have competed up to 1.10m in the past, and have extensive experience producing and bringing on young, green horses. I have a strong understanding of correct basics (seat, balance, rhythm etc.) and take a patient, sympathetic approach focused on confidence and long-term development.

What I can offer:
•Producing and developing young or inexperienced horses
•Flatwork to improve balance, rhythm and fitness
•Showjumping and low-level competition experience
•A calm, reliable rider invested in the horse’s progress

I’m looking for a horse based at a yard with good facilities, where the owner would value someone who can help maintain, improve and progress their horse. Ideally, there would be the opportunity to take the horse to competitions if the partnership suits and there is transport.

I can offer two days riding per week. Based in Bournemouth, looking within a 30-minute drive. I have my own car.

Reliable, kind, and genuinely invested in building a positive, long-term partnership.

If you think I might be a match for your horse please get in touch.

My name is Weronika. I have been living in the UK for 5 years with my husband, son, and two dogs. I am 38 years old, 52 kg, and 156 cm tall. My English is not very good, but I can communicate.

I live near Totton and I’m looking for a calm, safe horse to ride twice a week for pleasure and relaxation. I used to ride horses in my home country. I don’t jump, but I truly love horses and enjoy spending time caring for them.

The pony I had been riding became ill and sadly passed away. If anyone needs a reference or verification, I can provide one from the person I rented the horse from

I would be very happy to find a kind, possibly older horse for quiet, recreational riding.

If you are interested or know of a suitable horse, please send me a message. I can also share photos or videos if needed.

Best regards

Looking for my new best friend!

Hello, my name is Mya, I am 11 years old and am an intermediate rider (I walk, trot, and canter confidently). I have been having lessons in a school and going on hacks regularly.

My mum grew up riding and has loaned in the past, so she can come and help me.
I have two younger sisters who would probably also love to join me occasionally to make a fuss, help with chores and have a little ride on lead rein.

I would like to do a part loan with someone ideally 2-3 days a week, close to where I live in Ashley Heath (e.g. Ferndown/Ringwood/ Verwood/Wimborne).

My mum might also want to ride so something around 14-15hh would probably suit us all. We are looking for a kind, safe, bombproof family pony that wants some TLC and fun! A pony that is good for schooling and hacking with possibly the opportunity for fun rides, low level shows and general pony fun!

Thank you for reading this. References available if needed.

I'm on the look out for a horse for my 9 year old daughter.
As a family we have owned horses/ponies for many years. Unfortunately back in 2021 we had to give up our horses due to personal circumstances. However my daughter has developed a love of horse riding and has made huge progress over the last year with regular lessons, and we are now in a position to look for a horse that will help her learn and grow as a rider, as well as be her best friend.
I am looking for a horse that we could either have on LWVTB, or we could have on long term loan so that we can make sure we find the right fit. My daughter is a novice rider, but she is very keen to learn and progress further with her riding. She will continue to have weekly lessons alongside having her new best friend.
The right horse would ideally be 14HH-16.2HH and have a good amount of bone. She has been riding up to 16.2HH and is very tall for her age. We want a horse that she will be able to develop a strong bond with and not quickly outgrow.
The horse must be sane and sensible. My daughter would like to be able to do hacking and jumping as well as work on schooling as she learns.
We are able to offer a very loving and knowledgeable home where the horse will not want for anything.
If you think you have a horse that is suitable could you please contact me with details.

Free stable and field offered in exchange for part share in a first or second pony (12hh and above) to be kept in private quiet yard near Shaftesbury. Good facilities and wonderful riding. Outdoor school and excellent grazing. Call Annette on 07787 506523

Looking for a super safe & friendly pony to go off the lead for a slightly nervous 7yr old. Our current pony is more of a second pony off the lead & has knocked my daughters confidence. Looking for a pony that is happy to hack, go to PC rallies & generally have fun with. Will be kept at home with our other ponies. Knowledgeable home, would consider loan with view to buy or a short term loan over the winter if your pony has another little person lined up for the spring!
Hoping there’s a unicorn out there without a job for the winter!

May be looking for the impossible, but looking for a safe and sane first pony for riding 1-2 days per week for my daughters. They are just coming off the lead rein, just mastered rising trot. Ideally 12/13hh but happy to go bigger if they are sensible.
I have ridden most of my life and will always be with them. Keen they get the whole experience of mucking out / poo picking etc so no problem to do yard duties as well.
Happy to contribute financially.
Thank you!
