Does anyone know of a really good 11-12HH hunting pony? Must be able to be lead from an adults horse for a very keen 3yr old girl. We are happy to look from East Anglia down to Devon/Cornwall. Ideally something which will be smart enough to go in the ring in the summer and also do a bit of Pony Club.

I know I'm not asking a lot - Please help!!!
 
There is one on the Ponyclub website,near Market Harborough, Leics.I rang up about her,a mare called Poppet,but she isn't an off lead rein pony and that is what I wanted.She's been up forsale for a month or so at £950.Apparently she has taken 3 year old children out with the Pytchley lead off a horse.

Meanwhile if anyone has a reliable 1st pony for loan,I've been looking for months with no success.
 
:)Well,it is for my 6 year old.She is currently sharing her 8 year old sister's 13hh mare,but really needs something smaller.I'm not bothered about age,the older the better really,but need it to be safe in open fields [we have a farm] and bombproof on the road.She wants to join her sister at Pony Club,but is only just learning to jump and canter so really needs a confidence giver who has been there and done it.We've had a couple of naughty ponies on trial,who have chucked her on the floor in various ways,so she is a bit nervous now.

I don't want much,do I? Wherabouts is your sister's pony?

My sister's pony is in Devon but it's a complete first pony and my niece got her when she was one and she's now 3 and needs something which can trot in a fashion which she can now put her established (and very proud of!!) rising trot into practise! He'll be too small for a 6yr old as is a Shetland.

Ellie - Thank You! Unfortunately he'd be too big as my niece is only 3 rising 4 so really needs to be under 12hh.
 
Oh what a shame-Devon is about 5 hours away from us and I have no trailer at the minute.Thank you though-it is reassuring that those little ponies are out there.:) Good luck with the hunting pony.
 
i know of a little dun gelding he has been hunting, (with a 4yr old kid on he has been to shows, ) i have loads of pics of him and owner has a website..

BUT he wont be cheap!

here we go website.. its the dun gelding.. ive got pic of him with ballons tied to him and all sorts if wanted!

i will say he is a cracker, so gentle, and used to kids, in his early days hed go out hacking with tot on, whilst mum pushed a push chair leading another pony, he will also go odd the lead rein, and have a good canter with a semi novice
rider. he leads off mums cob, and qualified for the a dartmoor hill pony thingy at devon county show..
