Marmite (Breaking Livery)

Marmite is now working in walk, trot and canter. He has hacked out and popped a jump. He will be available for sale in the next couple of weeks after further schooling. Further details on the sales page.

Spud (Breaking Livery)

Spud is almost ready for home. He is working sensibly in all 3 paces and has been out on several hacks. Just need to hack him out alone now in preparation for going home.

Silver (Re-breaking Livery)

This pretty mare came over from Ireland broken. After having a good few months off, we are taking her back to basics and re starting her education. We are currently into our first week and already showing huge improvements.

**New Arrival**

Posted on Friday, June 24, 2016 by Tracey McConnell in Ponies For Sale

Meet Harmony, the newest addition to the yard. She is standing approx 14.2hh and is 4yrs old. She has been lunged and long reined, happily wears tack and has been backed. She will be available after breaking to a 5* home.

**June Update**

Posted on Thursday, June 16, 2016 by Tracey McConnell in Ponies For Sale

Just a quick update on the ponies I am working with and which are available for sale

Savanna *holiday livery*

Savanna is having a couple of weeks intensive schooling whilst her mum is away on holiday

Dolly *schooling livery*

Dolly is here for a second year to brush up on some schooling and jumping in preparation for her big show at the weekend!

Kaya*breaking livery*

 Kaya arrived 7 weeks ago for breaking and is almost ready for home now. He has been a total pleasure to work with and I’m sure will do well with his young rider at pony club this season.

Roddie *breaking livery*

Roddie came last year to do some ground work and be backed. He was then turned away over winter ready to be broken this summer. He is now in his 6th week and happily schooling in walk, trot and canter, and hacking out alone and in company. He is a super cob with the right attitude to work.

Alfie *breaking livery*

Alfie arrived at the same time as Roddie, and they have progressed at the same pace. Alfie is now fully broken and ready for home at the weekend. I will miss this lovable pony.

Cleo *breaking / sales livery*

Cleo is working well in trot and almost ready to progress to canter. She is an amazing pony with a very bright future ahead of her. She will be available for sale in the next few weeks, deposit secures.

Bob *schooling livery**

Bob arrived this week to brush up on his schooling. He has previously driven and needs a lot of suppling up work to improve his way of going. His owner is keen on dressage so my aim is to transform him from a driving cob into a dressage star!

Guinness *schooling / sales livery*

Guinness is a typical cob in which he does as little as he  has to! He can work really well when he puts his mind to it and is a safe all round type for all the family. I am open to viewings whilst he is here for schooling, and I’m sue won’t be around for long.

Chloe *for sale*

Chloe is my beautiful mare available for sale. She is a fully registered Welsh D standing at approx 15hh. She is lightly backed and walking round with a rider on. Only for sale part broken as I am struggling to find the time she needs, as I am busy with clients ponies.

New Arrivals!!!

Posted on Friday, April 22, 2016 by Tracey McConnell in Ponies For Sale

Arriving shortly are 2 stunning Welsh D mares from the Sharmic Welsh Cob Stud in Lincolnshire. Both are related to Sharmic Bronwynn who I had the pleasure of owning and breaking in last summer. Sharmic Chloe is bay with 4 whites and 4yrs old. Sharmic Cleopatra is black with a stunning head and kind eye, also 4yrs old. They are both well handled but unbroken and will be available for sale as blank canvas’ or can be broken.

Current Ponies In Work

Posted on Friday, April 08, 2016 by Tracey McConnell in Ponies For Sale

We have a beautiful selection of ponies in at present, from sales liveries, to holiday makers!

Tia Maria & Joe Joe

Tia was purchased a few years back from myself to a good friend. She comes back each year for a little schooling refresher whilst her owner is away on holiday. She comes with her little brother Joe Joe who is very cute and adored by everyone on the yard. Both are a total pleasure and always settle straight away.

Shadow

Shadow is here on sales livery and still looking for a perfect match. He is a fun forward going pony who loves to jump and enjoys hacking out. Full details available on the ‘sales’ page.

Murphy

Murphy is here on sales livery. I was inundated with interest from the moment I put pictures on and a brief description! All I can say is everybody needs a Murphy on their yard, he always wears his halo. He will be going to his new home shortly.

Ellie

Ellie is here on breaking livery. She is a beautiful Welsh D mare with a temperament to die for. She is coming along great in such a short time and a pleasure to work with.

Dior

Dior, my own little mare is coming along great. She is now backed and ready to further her education. We are looking for a 5* home for this super pony. Full details on the ‘sales’ page

Illusion

Lewi will be 8 this year, so its time to get him out to some bigger shows and get him seen I think. We are also hoping to do some show jumping competitions, so will be putting in plenty of practise at home.

Smokey

Welsh D Ionos Captain Jack will be out under saddle this season. He has already proved himself in hand with his previous owner including a respectable 8th at the Royal Welsh Show! His rider Nicola has worked really hard schooling him on, so hoping his first season is a good one

Schooling, Sales & Holiday Liveries

Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2016 by Tracey McConnell in Ponies For Sale

We have several schooling / holiday slots left for August and September. Also sales liveries are becoming more popular this year and we are offering this service until the end of October for anyone interested. A £50 deposit secures your booking.

As always we specialize in ponies up to 15hh, and do not take on known ‘problem ponies’ ie bronkers, rears and bolters.

Our reputation and results speak for themselves. Most of our clients are through word of mouth and many come back each year. We video and photograph everything we do and welcome clients to visit as often as they wish.

Please visit the ‘schooling / breaking’ page for full details on the service we provide, or alternatively contact us directly on 07917131526 and we will be happy to discuss your needs.
