Description
Looking for a lovely home for my New Forest Pony Eclipse. He’s 14.1hh, 7 years old with a green passport. PSSM 1 negative. Eclipse is very friendly and always the first to come and say hello in the field. He’s well handled, good to catch, groom and to stand for the farrier (currently barefoot) . Good to load and travel alone. He’s up to date with his vaccinations (due end of May) and just had his teeth done by Equine Dental Clinic. Eclipse is currently un ridden as I feel I am too big for him but was ridden briefly at the end of last year. Under saddle he can be unsure as he lacks confidence so will need a kind, competent person to bring him back into ridden work and reach his full potential. Currently Eclipse isn’t happy left alone but he was fine last summer when there was more grass.Based in the New Forest so he is used to crab flies.Offers around £2,500 but home is more important than price.
Rosa is a 12.2hh mare that is possibly in foalshe only has one eye She has been turned out in a field for the last few years lightly handled, although easily caught with food and can put a head collar on and groomIdeal field companion Home more important than price
Looking for the next loving home for my two cobs (mother and son) due to my current health difficulties, which makes this a very sad sale for me. Willow - 15 year old Welsh Section D mare that has been out of work for some time and requires a confident rider to bring her back into work (she used to do dressage and low-level showjumping). She’s good for farrier and easy to rug, groom, etc. She can be a bit nervous but is very quick to come around. She loves to be turned out and is very low maintenance. She’s a great mum to her son and has a very well-natured personality. Up to date with vaccinations. Roughly 14.3 hands.Oakley - 3 year old Welsh Section D gelding who is ready for more progressive training and eventually breaking in. He is a very friendly, happy boy, who is a quick learner and keen to impress. He has very pretty strides and is good for farrier and vet. He loves lots of attention and has a goofy personality that will always put a smile on your face. Up to date with vaccinations. Roughly 14.3 hands.Looking to sell as a pair as they haven’t ever been properly separated. Due to having to give it all up, everything they have will be included (e.g. rugs, fly masks, lunging equipment).£7,500 Ono
Nervous pony that needs time and hasn’t done much in its life but gets better every day. Would be suited for a confident kid or small adult who wants a fun project. £500
Cavannas I.C.U.P5yro gelding by Bullhill Major, out of a forest mare (by Brookshill Brumby), standing approx 14h.Buddy came to me to be backed earlier this year and while he has started his education well, he is proving to need more time, experience & consistency than his current family home can offer, therefore he is looking for a new home to carry on his education and see him reach his full potential. Buddy is well bred and very correct in his confirmation, with a fabulous temperament to match, everyone that meets him loves him. He is like a lamb to handle, turns out with anyone, quiet in his stable, good to lead & handle, loads & travels well and good for his feet to be trimmed. Under saddle Buddy is trotting on both reins fairly confidently and working over poles, he proves to be brave with his surroundings and not a spooky type. He has also hacked a little down the quiet country lanes, taking it all in his stride. When ridden he can become tense and scoot forwards, this has never escalated or been an issue for me, however this is something he is taking a while to work through and the owners feel it is not something they can confidently carry on with to guide him through, therefore he has to find his new home. He has never bucked, reared, bolted or shown any dangerous traits, he just needs time & patience. I have videos of him scooting forward for anyone interested in seeing what he does. We have loosed Buddy over a jump where he has proved very athletic, brave & keen, again I can provide videos of this. Buddy is a really lovely chap and a very smart type and someone will be getting a huge amount of potential for a very reasonable price to ensure he finds the perfect and a long term home. He has a huge amount of untapped potential to go into any sphere in the future. His owners absolutely adore him and are heartbroken to see him go, however we all feel this is the correct decision for both him and them, so he can have the correct education and enjoy his life when he learns what it’s all about.5* home only please.Open to vettingVideos available on request. Up to date with dentist, worming & trimming. Owners are motivated to sell so offers are welcomed OIRO £2500
🌟Kevin’s Choice🌟Corkie is a handsome 8 year old 16.1hh TB gelding. Unfortunately, I no longer have the time that he needs due to work commitments, meaning this is a very sad sale.He’s the perfect all rounder with loads of potential!!I have owned him since November 2021. He raced once in July 2021 and came 14 out of 15, so that wasn’t for him! He has a heart of gold and will try his best at anything he does.He is a safe ride but needs a confident rider as he’s inexperienced and can be unsure and nervous of things. Because of this, he isn’t a novice ride and needs a confident quiet rider.He is good to load, just needs patience. Brilliant to shoe, catch and do in all ways!We have competed in low level dressage and he has placed each time! We have also done a couple of clear rounds and gone clear too.Can jump well and has so much potential in all aspects of work. Hacks alone with a confident quiet rider, also hacks with others and will take lead if he needs to or will happily go in the middle or the back of the ride. He is ROR eligible.He does wind suck after eating or treats but this doesn’t affect his ability to work. He has also had a locked stifle previously but this was due to not being in work and has only happened a hand full of times. He does have pads in his fronts for extra support due to thin soles. However, this also doesn’t affect his work.He can be sold with correctly fitting tack if necessary. This was recently checked at the beginning of February.Home is by far more important than price!I would consider full loan to be kept at current yard which is located just outside of Dorchester. There is an amazing, very experienced instructor on-site, so lessons are available. Also plenty of hacking around.£3550 OnoAny questions please ask!
Pipkin is a beautiful new forest pony who has been backed professionally in December 2023. Sired by Lucky Lane Warrior and full green passport. I have not been able due to time to bring him on. He has been lunged, lead walked and ridden around the farm where he lives. Pip is very intelligent and quick learner BUT he is very strong and wilful and needs a confident and patient owner who can give him the time to bring him on to his full potential as he has heaps of it. He can be spooky but I think that’s confidence on my part he’s reacting to. He is almost 7 and is 13.2 (I think). He loves to be groomed and fussed over and would excel with someone that can give him lots of attention and patience. He is a bit nervous of farriers, sadly due to a bad experience but I have worked on this picking his feet up etc and seems much better. He lives with his half brother and my cob outdoors and does very well. I’ve had him since he was one so this is a tough decision and I would love him to go to a forever home. I do not want him sold on - if it doesn’t work he comes home. All vaccinated and wormed. Sold from the field £2000
3yr old Welsh A gelding. Clipped and started his backing process has a dental appointment on the 27th as he’s a little sharp and a wolf tooth needs removing. Offered at a cheaper price before he’s finally backed and ridden away. By Arad Epic so has got some really nice lines with ponies proving great riddens. He will be an easy quick project or easy turn around for someone wanting a blank canvas. Has been left on the hill of Snowdonia to mature for the last year. Super easy, very kind boy be a fantastic child pony. He was shown from foal to 2yr old and then left. Registered chocolate Dun…Standing 12hh lots of filling out to do now but he’s a real showman, turns out with mates and geldings, respects electric fence and easy to catch, load and travel etc. clipped him first time ever stood loose eating his hay. 1000 or best offer transport available at cost but free transport within 50 miles of SN9
George was taken on as a rehab project but sadly my health and circumstances have failed me in continuing this work.He is 10 yrs old and has quite a dubious background resulting in him being in high alert at all times, more akin to a thoroughbred, I believe he needs a routine regimen where he knows what’s happening and at what time and where facilities and others are around to help, sadly I have neither of these as I’m on my own and am on the wrong side of 50 now and my health is failing me.Someone young, experienced and confident would suit this lad perfectly, to give him a routine and take him right back to basics and start again.Given time and patience I am convinced he will make someone a fabulous competition horse as he has shown a lot of scope in jumping, he has jumped a 1.6m fence with ease.If you feel you can offer George the home he desperately needs please contact me, remember George is quite a handful, although not in any way a nasty horse, in fact quite the opposite, he is just in flight mode all the time and my sensibilities are struggling with this.I’m asking for a nominal amount of money for him so he doesn’t fall into the wrong hands again, a 5* home is far more important than money.

Gretel is a stunning 15.3hh (on passport, but she is more like 16.1hh!) grey Irish Draught x Thoroughbred mare with a charming and funny nature. She is registered with CHAPs as she is actually a secret piebald (shows when wet!) rather special and pretty! At 17 years old, she is sound and in good health with no known issues. Gretel thrives in a herd environment and enjoys the company of other horses. She is excellent in traffic and safe to ride along roads.Before her current home, Gretel was used as a trekking horse and has become accustomed to hacking in groups, which explains why she does best in a herd environment. She is great with the farrier, easy to catch (comes when called!), but has always been sedated for the dentist. Gretel can also be a bit suspicious of strangers until she becomes familiar with them.Sadly, due to a loss of confidence, her current owner has not ridden Gretel for 12 months. When she first brought Gretel home, she tried to ride her out alone, but Gretel showed signs of napping, spinning, or would plant herself. This behavior may be linked to separation anxiety, as she calls to herd mates when separated. It is believed that Gretel senses the rider’s nervousness, which feeds into Gretel’s own anxiety, making solo rides a challenge. Therefore she is only suitable for a confident experienced rider. This decision is heart breaking for her owner, as she loves Gretel dearly and feels guilty admitting that Gretel may not be the right horse for her! She is searching for a confident and knowledgeable rider who can provide Gretel with the leadership and companionship she needs to thrive. Snaffle mouth, not strong but a sensitive ride. Currently lives out 24/7 year round happily in a mixed herd, easy to do, thrives on grass, hay and balancer only diet! A kind, understanding home is far more important than the price, If you have the experience and confidence to work with Gretel and give her the loving home she deserves, please get in touch. I believe she could make a wonderful partner for the right person! Sold from field, hence price. She will need bringing back into work. £1,800 inc rugs. (Tack available for separate negotiation inc nearly new GP leather trek saddle and brand new unused leather bridle)
A gorgeous gelding, 3 years old, needs an experienced home as a complete blank canvas. Fantastic temperament.Roughly 13.1, stocky build. Does have a couple of sarcoids. The best home is of utmost importance over price.
