Lady and Star - Two ponies looking for new homes

Both were passported 2008, both black and in good health.

Star is about 11.2 well handled and halterbroken, she leads in and out and is happy to have a fuss made of her. She will make a nice ride or drive pony. Worked and can have feet trimmed

Lady is show quality and possibly in foal, about 12.hh has been halterbroken and led round the stable.She is very shy and despite a lot of work to get her confidence will I think be quite a project for someone.She wants to make friends. Has been wormed.

Both ponies are currently based in Exmoor however their owner is moving soon, a home had been found for them but sadly on the day they were due to leave the purchaser pulled out through no fault of the ponies.

No purchase price but a donation to the Friends of the Dartmoor Hill Pony is requested. Homes will be checked and a reference from vet required.

For more information contact Vicky on vicky@robinson.net or Charlotte Faulkner at the Friends of the Dartmoor Hill Pony

25+ ponies needing homes

An appeal is in place to re-home 25+ hill ponies some crossed with cobs and arabs, I will have photos and further details shortly, in the mean time if you would like information email- mary.tyrer@hotmail.com

There are over 25 dartmoor ponies, 5 cob crosses, and 3 arab crosses needing homes. The majority of the dartmoors left are colts although there are a few fillies left. The cobs and arabs are all colts. The dartmoors are £30 each, cob x`s between £140 and £240 and the arabs are £240, but the farmer will consider offers on the cobs and arabs. The dartmoors are between 6 and 10 months old, the cobs are between 8 months and 2 years, and the arabs are between 2 and 3 years old.

They are all classed as unhandled, however they are used to people, just a little bit nervous that all.

Dunmere Black Bryony (Twiggy)

She has been shown both on the lead rein and in-hand and has bred two foals. She is a good doer but does not like being outside 24 hours a day on the top of Dartmoor in the middle of winter (I am in Postbridge) and I have no stable for her this winter. Tack and rugs come with her. She is good to catch, load and have her feet trimmed (she has been shod in the past but not currently). For more information please contact Anna Bassett on 01822 880334 or email annabassett55@tiscali.co.uk

Charming grey and white shetland cross yearling colt

Charming grey and white shetland cross yearling colt

Adores human company and attention, and comes to me for comfort and reassurance. I bought him as a rescue, with a view to taming him and finding him a home, but he didn’t need taming! He leads and loads. He has been vaccinated and wormed twice, and has had his feet trimmed. Sadly must rehome him as due to the drought here in Sussex, I have no winter grass.

Good home essential for this special little character. £150. Tel. 07759 909696

Registered black 12.2 5 yrs Dartmoor Gelding for sale

Rose Ashes Black Velvet (Bramble)12,2 (approx) Quality Registered Dartmoor Gelding, 5 years old. This very beautiful, striking black pony, works well on the flat, including early lateral work such as leg yielding and shoulder in, walk pirouettes etc. He has good natural self carriage and a natural jump, currently schooling over 2ft6 fences. He hacks out alone and in company, has done pleasure rides, and is very bold. He has exceptional paces and presence. From the ground he can be a little nervous, and so needs experienced handling. He would not suit a home with small children or make a lead rein pony. However, for a confident teenager or a light weight adult who might want to do a little more to keep his brain working, he would be ideal, perhaps even to learn some more advanced schooling moves. A very special home is sought for this little fellow, where he can be loved and cared for.

Dartmoor Hill Ponies in need of urgent home

Below is an appeal by someone who is looking for homes for some Dartmoor Hill Ponies, unfortunately we are full at the centre and unable to take on any more, if we did we would risk the welfare of the ponies we have by taking on too many which we just can't do. If you think you can help please get in touch with Mary on 01752 346858 OR 07789676116.

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP?!? 9 DARTMOOR HILL PONY COLT FOALS

They all need good genuine homes. They need you now. They have very uncertain futures. They are all around 8 months old and will make between 11-13hh There are:* 2 Red/Whites* Dark brown with a white blaze down the face* Light dun (Caramel/cream)* Dark brown with star on forehead* Browns and Bays

They are currently living on the moor; some are friendlier than others and some allow me to touch them. They were late foals last year and were too young to go to the sales and most werer colts.

WE DESPERATELY NEED HOMES FOR THESE GENTLE TEMPERAMENT PONIES.
Someone needs to care for these ponies. Please don't just feel sorry for them. Help them by giving them genuine homes. Could you or do you know someone that would?

PLEASE PHONE Mary ON TEL: 01752 346858 OR 07789676116.

Having spoken to Mary, she is a woman at her wits end trying to save these ponies. She and her friends have transport and are willing to help transport them if homes can be found. She added this info: They are Dartmoor Hill Ponies all late foals from last year and all colts. They will make 11'2-12hh and some 12-13hh approx. They are still on their mums and running free on the egdes of Dartmoor, on the moor in and around Lee Moor village between Cornwood and Shaugh Prior nr Plympton Plymouth. Their colours are Bays and dark browns, light dun (cream with black tails and points) a chocolate brown with white blaze and dark browns with stars and there is also 2 red/white one small than the other but beautifully marked.
Help has been offered for cheaper passporting/microchips and gelding for any serious home offered. A genuine home is needed for all these colts.

I feed them twice daily, I don't have to and I do not own them, I have spoken to the farmer and he doesn't know what to do with them and no-one has no money resession etc., he doesn't want to shoot them and prefer them to get homes instead.

I have and will try to get as many homes as possible with the help of people like yourselves. Any help would be appreciated and thankyou

Two Dartmoors for Sale - SOLD

Tomato (aka Tommy)Dartmoor
Chestnut with flaxen mane and tail. 6 Month old colt, quite small still, around Shetland size, should make roughly 12 hands or so.

Sherill Essie (aka Sherill)Dartmoor
Steel grey/black. 16 month old filly, around 10hands ish should make about 13 hands ish. Can be broken next year, I think she would be very easy to break. Both are very friendly, have never tried to bite or kick etc, just haven’t learnt to trust yet. Would make great kids ponies in the future as are very laid back, don’t gallop or buck around in the field. Can live in or out.

Both have passports and up to date worming etc.

I am happy to let them go as they are, as projects etc, or just as companions.

They are currently living with another horse and are fine with her. Or they can go when they have done more, been walked out, etc. If they were to go as they are now, I was looking for around £200 each. They can go separately or together.

I am open to ANY offers, so just make me one, I wont be offended! The right home is more important than price. I would prefer them to go to forever homes after they leave me, but if they were to rehomed again, I would like them to be offered back to me first, just so I know where they are going. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I am open to trials, loans etc. Any problems and I will have them straight back and wont judge etc.

Two Dartmoors for sale - SOLD

DARTMOOR YOUNGSTERS

We have 2 Dartmoor geldings, 2 year olds, who are looking for new homes. £150.00 each

Both these ponies were bought at Chagford pony sales last year. We had hoped to train them to drive, but with our advancing years and loss of help to do this, we sadly have to find new homes for them.

They spent last winter in a 30 acre run on the edge of Dartmoor , so they have developed very well, they are tough and sure footed. We have now had them back to home for just over a month, and they are now very sociable ponies. We can catch them, lead them about, pick out their feet and brush them all over. They have also had a saddle on their back and a bit in their mouth.

Although one looks grey in the photo, they are both dun, and should make a lovely pair of ride and drive ponies.

For further details, please contact John & Maggie Arden

Yearlings for sale in West Yorkshire

Violet

Violet is a bit of an ugly duckling at the moment but I know once she has shed her winter coat she will become a beautiful swan! Again,she came from the Drift sales in October 08 and has had an uncertain time since then. She is very shy and frightened of people at the moment but is currently stabled with Vixen and feel once they are separated she will come on in leaps and bounds as at the moment Vixen bosses her about a bit! She stands at about 9hh, possibly more at the moment so I should think she would make around 12hh.
Her Passport name is "Shapley 10" but I thought Violet suited her better and she has gotten to know her name now! The prefix of her name again is a known commoner breeder name on the Hill.Violet is to turn 1 in June.

Vixen

She is a Shetland type Dartmoor Hill. She came from the Drift sales in October 08 and has had an uncertain time since then. She is a lovely little girl and can be led on a headcollar and lead rope but she needs more practice. She will pick her feet but again I haven't pushed this as I wanted to gain trust and not try to much at once. She is wormed up to date.
Her Passport name is Vixen Beryl and am told that this prefix is a known Commoner breeder name in Dartmoor. Vixen has just turned 1 in April.

Vince
Vince is a loveable character who just wants fuss and attention! He is an adorable little man who I feel would be a great childs pony. He is headcollar broken, lifts his feet and can be touched all over. He LOVES being groomed and will stand all day and let you ! He came with Vixen and Violet from a not so nice place and is just wanting a secure home where he has a lot of love and turnout!

He is up to date with worming and is around 10 months old.

£150
