The Horses are all chosen very carefully
They must be fit for walk, trot and canter work with no lameness issues
Ideally, but not essential they will be able to perform a simple dressage test - ie Prelim level
All ponies ideally go through a trial period where they will be worked by the staff and tried out in sessions They will also be hacked out and possibly jumped depending on the pony and its ability
All must be a minimum of 5yrs and ideally not more than 14yrs

The pony must be safe in and around the yard, in the field and have no vices - crib biting, weaving, kicking etc. Also good to shoe, clip and travel
The pony must be good on and off the lead rein
Before any purchase is made a 5 stage vetting will be carried out
We like them to have been to shows - pony club activities etc so we know they will be safe if we take them out.
If your pony came on loan to us a formal contract will be drawn up and arrangements agreed by both parties
We rarely sell on our ponies - they really do have a great home for life
