❤️She has found a lovely home ❤️

🏠looking for a new postcode 🏠

DonnerDash
4yo, currently standing about 16hh, Registered Warmblood mare by Donner Regal.
Breeding in photos below.

I started her at the start of year and a couple of sits on her in the round pen but my poor time has meant she’s done more sitting in the paddock growing and maturing than anything else, (which hasn’t been a bad thing for her really)
Finding a new home for her unbroken as she will need to be started over for a refresher and be backed, she doesn’t have a bad or dirty bone in her body, she is a beautiful sweet mare that thrives attention and cuddles..has been easy to work with, beautiful and soft, respectful, great ground manners, well handled, has had a full set of shoes but currently barefoot.

Beautiful natured mare that sadly I just don’t have the time for her due to us moving and having me working on the farm, this mare deserves someone’s one on one attention and needs to start her career with someone that’s confident and kind to get the best out of her.

This has been a huge decision because she has huge potential and she will go far but I have to let her go. She would make a lovely all rounder!

Great to shoe, float, always first to the gate, no vices.

🏡‼️‼️Found the perfect home‼️‼️🏡

Gilly 11yo 15.3hh Friesian x TB mare

Winter project for someone to bring on.

Gilly has been out for the past 2years and is being bought back in slowly.

Very sweet mare with absolutely no dirt!

Good basic schooling, easy to hack out in company or alone.

Has been out trekking on weekend treks with 80+ horses, forest rides, beach and she’s great to get on and go…

Although Gilly has no dirt, she does need a confident, kind rider. Not suitable for beginners.
I could see her with a rider where they grow together up through the levels.

Gilly has jumped with her previous owner and has hunted, but requires some confidence building in this area
Happy to discuss this more with serous buyers.

Videos available

Gilly is priced lower to find the right rider to bring this mare on and to bring out her full potential. Very low 🍊

Meet Rocky, this awesome dude is looking for his a new postcode.🏡

10yo chestnut gelding, home measured at 15.2hh, stationbred cross, a girls best friend 🥰

Rocky is a sweet dude, with no dirt, he has been an absolute pleasure to have in and around the stable.
Hasn’t done a lot, perfect to get on and go, would suit someone to hack around the farm, forest, beach, just have fun, low level competitions, pops over anything you put him at, hacks alone or in company, not a spooky type.

Excellent to catch, farrier, loves the attention,loves to be fussed over.

‼️Off to his new home this weekend ‼️

🏡looking for a new postcode 🏡

Are you looking for a leadrein/first ridden pony?

Sadly popsicles wee riders are having to move on so he needs a new wee rider.

Gorgeous 11.2hh, 13yo Gelding

A been there done that type pony!

Popsicle has won thousands of ribbons that hang on his jockeys walls, he gets compliments at most outings, he is a true all rounder.
He has done everything from showing, pony club, games, dressage, camps, obstacles,show jumping and trekking.

Loves a good pamper session and will stand tied up patiently.

Good to catch, float, farrier, ride ba****ck, swims at the beach.

Fantastic lead rein or first ridden.
Good to have knowledgeable horse parents to keep the cheeky blue eyed pony in check.

We have lots of videos

EC the Joker aka Chief-
Absolutely smashing his first 80 HT at Barge Park a couple weeks ago… so proud of him! He’s been an amazing baby, we have done absolutely everything this season, from trekking the king country, dressage days, show jumping, eventing to barrel racing, he truly turns his hoof to absolutely anything, he has personality plus,and an absolute gentleman. He wins everyone’s heart who ever meets him❤️
I’m so lucky🥰
He is well due for a good 3 month holiday now, where he will be completely turned out on the hills and be all fluffy and run wild until next season where I’m sure he will come back in bigger and stronger as a rising 6 year old 🙌

Billy is a fantastic little all rounder!
Fantastic to take out, great show pony/show hunter!

Billy has currently been a lead rein pony for my 5yo daughter, he is a total gentleman, she can catch him, he will stand allllll day long while getting pampered, he’s a beautiful natured pony.

Billy has been in the same family for 7 years teaching their daughter how to ride and took her up to her C certificate at pony club.

He is well schooled, has done lots of showing A&P, ribbon days, teams events, show jumping.
Fantastic to hack out, easy to take to the beaches , forest etc

Looking for an experienced home to keep Billy’s manners in check.
He’s not dirty but he is a typical pony where he needs to be kept in check a little.
