WANTED FOR LOAN

Looking for pony on long term loan 12.2-13.3 for 8 year old girl who can walk, trot, and canter well and pop small jumps. Would like to find a “been there done that” pony that can help her to progress – perhaps an outgrown pony or an older pony who needs a quieter life, to do a bit of everything with. Mare or gelding and ideally would live out 24/7. Good to hack and not worried around farm machinery. Would like pony to be responsive to leg but not strong and more push than pull – mostly need a true confidence giver gold dust type to restore daughters lost confidence! She loves to jump but on a pony that doesn’t leap 8ft into air unnecessarily! 😉 Would like to attend local competitions and events therefore pony must be good to load and well behaved at shows. Loving home awaits with previous experience of pony shares and ownership, regular lessons and a really supportive yard where help is always on hand.
Please contact Gill on 07889368332 or gillianday1982@icloud.com

FOR LOAN…. 14hh (ish) 8 1/2 yo Coloured Mare. (Rides bigger than her height).

Precious Sapphire (Saffy) has been with her current loan home for 18 months and has been competing in Pony Club events (Tedworth PC) and enjoys SJ, ODEs, cross country and hacking. Saffy can comfortably jump 90cm with minimal warm up and competently jumps 100cm currently (with potential to go higher). She’s a very honest girl and will give anything a go! She’s not spooked by fillers, hedges, water or homemade jumps – point her at a jump and she will give it a go! 

Saffy was professionally backed with Felicity Harper near Lambourn and has been lunged, long lined, schooled and hacked (both alone and in company) and not done anything questionable and doesn’t seem to have a bad bone about her (and I’ve had her since birth). Saffy seems to really enjoy working so a home looking to hack or compete is essential.

Saffy has a sunny disposition and is always happy to see ‘her people’. She follows us round the field when poo picking or visiting and is more than happy to be groomed and fussed. She’s forward going (not a ploddy cob at all) and I think someone could have a lot of fun with her. She’s well put together and has good paces. Saffy has been to shows and competitions and is good on the ground, she isn’t fazed by other horses and the busy environment. She has enjoyed cross country, show jumping and general showing as well as some dressage too (never scored below 60 in novice or prelim).

Saffy is up to date with jabs, feet and teeth and is good for all of those things. She’s bare foot and has never had shoes on. She’s good to catch, travels and loads well (both trailer or lorry) and has seen all traffic as she has grown up on a working farm so she doesn’t bat an eyelid at anything we’ve encountered so far.

Saffy likes regular work and can work every day or once a week. She doesn’t buck, bolt, or rear and isn’t nappy. Saffy has a very soft mouth and is forward going, she certainly isn’t a ‘kick along’ pony and so isn’t suitable for a beginner.

Saffy could be a forever pony and is looking for a long term home (and I would potentially consider lwvtb but only in exceptional circumstances), she’s coming back to me because of a change in circumstances for her current loan home. 

Saffy comes with full wardrobe including saddle, bridle and rugs and is available for loan as a working horse, not as a brood mare. She would suit a teenager or adult looking for a partner in crime to have some fun with.

Viewings to be arranged by appointment. Potential homes will be vetted.

FOR SALE

Cai  14.1hh- Bright Bay- Gelding- 13yrs – welsh cob (full breeding available) 

Cai has been part of our family for nearly 8 years so this truly is a heart breaking sale. He is an absolute jumping machine and a very happy allrounder, he has evented on PC teams and always produces a fabulous double clear, although dressage is not his strongest phase as a result of his rider being much more into jumping. He has been on various PC camps, has hunted with both the Old Berks and Pytchly hunt and is true gent on the hunting filed with absolute impeccable manners. He is a forward going pony and has a true desire to please his rider, successfully evented producing double clears at 90 and has jumped SJ upto 95/1m. He has been to a full variety of PC rallies including horseball, SJ, eventing, and is a genuine fun PC pony. He is a fabulous traveller either on a lorry or a trailer. Easy to shoe, clip, load, etc nothing is ever a problem, he truly is a happy boy, and has never had a day off sick or lame! Cai has never lived out over winter and we do not feel this lifestyle would suit him, although he lives out 24/7 during summer. Cai is for sale through no fault of his own, he has been ridden and competed by all three girls in the family, who now have other commitments, and he has very sadly been outgrown and consequently is now being wasted with us. A 10* home is an absolute must as he will give any child so much pleasure and fun and will be very much missed by our household!

£3,500 – Based nr Blenheim Palace

13.2hh Bay New Forest Mare 15 years old. Sparky is a second pony who would suit either a small adult or a child with some experience wanting to do pony club activities. She has been owned by myself for 11 years and in that time has mainly been used for hacking, however, she has been on loan previously to a pony club home. Sparky is a lovely pony to handle, never bites or kicks. She is good to catch, load, farrier, dentist and with traffic. Sparky is now 15 years old and so I do not want her to jump any higher than 80. She must be stabled at night throughout the winter and the summer. References / loan agreement will be required. Sparky is a very special pony, all homes will be vetted and regular visits to see how she is getting on.

If you are interested please contact Lisa on 07789763589.
