1. ‘Mr consistent’
Height: 134.5cm
Age: 18
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Summerhill Jack’ has £641 in BS winnings and 387 BS points. He has qualified for many finals and has been to most national and international shows during 2015 and 2016, and jumped round very well getting placed at every outing. Jack is absolutely bombproof. We have owned him for four years and he has come home with at least one rosette or more every time he competes. He has produced double clear after double clear and he is always quick against the clock. He is easy to do in all ways and will hack in company or alone, clip, turnout, etc with no fuss. This pony never bucks or rears. Would make a super 10/11-and-under pony, but will happily school up to 1.05m round a course.”
2. ‘Ready to have fun with someone’
Height: 14hh
Age: 19
Gender: mare
Selling points: “This second pony thinks she is nine-years-old. She has done fun rides, Pony Club, cross-country, showjumping and loves to hack with or without company. She lives in or out and is good to shoe and travel.”
3. ‘Fabulous’
Height: 13hh
Age: seven
Gender: mare
Selling points: “Tallulah’ has been in the same home since birth. She is a fabulous all-round pony with a very scopey jump. She is capable of 1m tracks when fit — unfortunately she’s an exceptional doer and maintains her ample figure very well! She is a super straight moving pony who is always placed in showing classes. She has a clean health record with no lameness issues. She would suit a family home as everybody’s pet and ride, taking both novice and experienced riders. She hacks out with no problems and has been used in our riding school as well as regularly competed. She stands without tying to be clipped, loads herself and is very happy barefoot — an exceptional, low maintenance girl.”
4. ‘Special boy’
Height: 12.2hh
Age: 15
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Splash’ is a perfect first pony and second for a little rider looking to progress from the lead rein to competing. He is a complete schoolmaster and has taught my daughter so much. In the two years we’ve had Splash we have gone from lead rein jumping to competing at BD Novice level, even qualifying at and competing at the Hickstead Dressage Masters this year. We have done numerous camps and stay away shows. He has qualified for a long list of championships including Sheepgate U25s twice. He can jump up to 90cm and consistently scores in the high sixties at dressage. Kind, willing and honest.”

5. ‘Ideal pony’
Height: 12.2hh
Age: 15
Gender: gelding
Selling points: “‘Gus’ is good both on or off the lead rein. He is quiet in traffic, good to load, shoe, catch and clip. He is very quiet in the stable and is safe with children. He doesn’t have any vices and is sound in all respects. He will live in or out. Gus has been shown locally with us on the lead rein and been to Pony Club and camp, hunter trials and gymkhanas with his previous owner. Gus loves jumping, hunting and cross-country.”
