Description
When we took Bart on we were told that he had suffered a bad experience which had left him traumatised and fearful of just about everything, even his own shadow literally. 12 Months further on he has changed beyond recognition, bolder, braver and more self assured. What Bart needs now is to move on to an understanding owner with time and patience to bring him on and give him the life he deserves. Ideally a Natural Horsemanship home would suit him best as this is what he is used to. He works well on the ground and is quite responsive to instruction and displays three lovely floating paces. Bart has been lightly ridden and this is a work in progress. He would really benefit from a one to one relationship as he is a loving horse who completely puts his trust in you. For Bart and us it is extremely important that he goes to the right home, and for that purpose we would want to visit his new home before his release with several visits after to check on him. £1500ono.

Malika is an attractive cob X trotter, 11 yrs. She is a long-striding, forward-going and very comfortable ride with a lot of stamina, suitable for a competent, experienced rider, possibly for long-distance riding, or western as she is responsive to seat aids. She hacks out in company and off-road and is good in ordinary traffic but can become worried by loud or unusual noises behind when on her own. She is very people orientated, easy to do and good to catch, box and shoe. She is good with the vet and dentist and her vaccinations and worming are up to date. She has not been in work for the last year and is currently a little overweight. £1500.

This 13.3hh 10yr old sweet natured chestnut mare is an allround schoolmistress , obedient enough for a novice rider or will compete up to 2,9", she is quiet enough for a young child and can carry a lightweight adult . She has done all pc activities , sj , xc and ode , has excellent manners in and out of the stable . She was completely bomb proof in traffic ( regularly ridden out alone by a 9yr old ) untill she had a run in with a tractor a yr ago - this unfortunatly wasn,t dealt with properly by her owners at the time and so consequently needs some time and understanding to regain her confidence . I am only selling her as i am moving to somewhere where i have to ride down a stretch of really busy / fast road , if i lived on a quiet lane or had lots of off road facilities i would keep her and gradually reintroduce her to tractors in a controlled enviroment, as my 11yr old daughter adores her and she hasn,t put a foot wrong whilst being ridden by her or me .This is a very sad reluctant sale , only to an experienced , knowledgable and understanding home . She comes with tack , and there are 2 contacts available from old owners who will give her a reference . £1000 . email me for pictures and more details.

13h, Reg Welsh Part-Bred, Bay, Mare, 7 years.
Pandora is a very loving mare who has been a companion for the past 3 1/2 years, recently re-backed now needs bringing on, walks, trots, canter, happy jumping over coloured poles, not at all fazed by anything, hacks quietly, not spooky. Green but learns quickly and very keen to please.
She is a gorgeous pony and very full of herself she has a real 'look at me attitude'. Would make very good all round pony with a bit of time also do very well in the show ring as show hunter pony and make a wonderful broodmare. Good breeding. (Catherston Nightsafe, Bunbury Mahogany)
Presently wasted as do not have time/rider she deserves, so to bring out the best in her, must be sold. Vaccs, wormed to date.
She must go to a knowlegable 5* home as in the right hands this little mare will go far in any direction.
Open to sensible offers. Please call for further details.

Four year old registered New Forest mare approx 13.1hh.
Out of Cameron Rocket(Sire Wootton Starflight), by Lovelyhill Gliding-High.
Snippet is a dear little pony. She ran on the forest with her mother until she was 3 & was completely untouched. She is still nervous, but is gaining in confidence all the time & is proving to have an affectionate nature.
She does need LOTS of time & patience. She is now halter-broken & very good at loading into the trailer. UPDATED 10/7/10 to say progress has been made! She is now walking out happily wearing a full set of tack - still not rushing to sit on her but I'm sure we'll get there soon. Because she has been so nervous, it's very rewarding working with her.
I am confident that she will make a lovely riding pony but estimate she needs daily work for 3 - 6 months to get there & I really don't have the time to devote to her.
However, this is a very well-bred & nicely made little pony & I am working with her as much as I can.
When I get to the point that she is ready to sell as 'backed & hacked', I will want to sell her for £800 - £1000. HOWEVER, as I am short of time, have too many ponies & not enough grass, I am prepared to sell her, NOW, for CONSIDERABLY LESS!
She would make a fun summer project for someone to bring on & would be a very cheap way to end up with a super riding pony.
If you think you could be the right person to bring the best out of Snippet, please hurry while the price is still low!!
Description
Stunning 14'2 Connemara x Section D gelding, 6yrs. When I tried him out he was a very quiet, sweet pony who, I was told, was ready to be brought on & showing tonnes of potential. I had been told he had not had a great start to life and that he had been hit by previous owners and farriers and was therefore very nervous of new people and in particular - Men. Unfortunately this seems to be the only truth I was told – so I promise to be as honest as I possibly can about Blue.
The main problem is, over a year on I still havn’t been able to ride him - he is fine until you move your leg over the middle of his bottom then he kind of shakes & trys to run forward. He has never been the pony I tried out. He is certainly a very very sweet boy and I believe getting on him would mean winning half the battle. He lunges beautifully (can be seen at lunge) and when he works he really gets into the zone and has a lovely pace. Sadly I have never had the time that Blue really needs and sadly had he been the same pony I tried out, I wouldn’t be in this situation. But he needs someone with a bit more knowledge and more time to commit to him, maybe to start him again??? He is fine being tacked up, he has a Wintec Cair saddle and is in a Fulmer bit (the same I tried him in). He has jumped, free schooled, XC (apparently) – Finding the right home for Blue is of course a huge importance – so please make sure you are ready for this challenge. Given the time & understanding he needs to be put “right” (so to speak) I guarantee big rewards from this beautiful boy. He just needs trust, confidence & lots of love.
I am happy to answer any questions via email or phone, like I said, I will be very honest about him. I simply couldn’t sell a horse in the way I was lied to when I bought him. £950 with various tack items.

FOR SALE: Stunning 16.1hh, well bred French TB gelding, rising 7yrs old. This handsome young boy had a very bad start in life as he was rescued from a slaughter house in France. I have had him 2yrs but due to lack of time and facilitiies i am unable to further his education. He has the basics but does need more schooling to establish his canter work, he has a nice bold jump and enjoys his work. Good to hack alone and in company, used to wide open spaces, dogs, cats etc. He can be a little grumpy at times but this is mainly due to lack of exercise. Not a novice ride due to his past. Would suit someone looking for a summer project or who has an interest in natural horsemanship. Very sad sale of this much loved horse so homes will be vetted. Please call or email for more info. PRICE REDUCED £1500!

15.3 Thoroughbred gelding offered free to a very special home. Only 8 years old but sadly in that time undergone colic surgery (2 years ago) and now diagnosed with kissing spines. He has had steroid treatment and with the right work could be used for hacking. Unfortunately he is also a wind sucker so would need a tolerant and understanding home. Only a knowledgable committed home would be considered so no timewasters please.

Description
Bilko is a big, powerful animal I have owned for the past 6 years. He goes well in the school with 3 nice paces but has had issues out hacking with me! We’ve put more work into him this year with lots of walking out in hand and he and I have a much better bond and my confidence has increased with him and we're now doing short hacks but due to further recent changes in my personal life I just don’t have the time to continue the work we’ve done so he needs to go to someone who does as he really loves to be doing things rather than being mainly a field ornament :(
He will need someone to take time to bond with him and put the groundwork in but he really is worth it - my friend has hacked him and has further success as she’s not nervous like I am (I don’t know why I am!)
He has started jumping but is very green - he is built to jump and enjoys it but it is not something I enjoy
Lives out, loads well, good to shoe, only been clipped once but was OK
Very sad sale for his own good as he needs to be doing more. He has done far less than he should have due to ongoing issues in my personal.
Offers in excess of £2,000 for quick sale
Tack including custom made saddle available
