🌟Brandon (13.1hh Gelding)🌟

A laid-back, loveable allrounder who adores pampering—especially having his feathers and tail washed! Brandon is a safe, confidence-giving pony best suited to a lightweight rider. He’d be perfect for someone who enjoys grooming, flatwork, hacking and low level jumping.

We can offer either a 1 or 2 day loan arrangement — weekdays only, no weekends.

The loan contribution will go towards Brandon’s feed, hay, bedding, and general staff costs.

Brandon is kept on full livery, so no yard duties are required. However, if your riding time overlaps with yard routines, you may need to bring her in from the field.

Loaners will be expected to groom Brandon’s thoroughly and pick out her feet before and after riding. Tack should always be stored safely and correctly, and cleaned when needed. Depending on the weather, aftercare may include using a cooler rug, or during warmer months, hosing/sponging her off before applying a cooler.

We are very fortunate to have excellent off-road hacking with direct access to the Flitch Way, along with knowledgeable coaches and staff on hand for support and guidance. Full use of facilities: 2 outdoor arenas, full set of show-jumps.
Supportive coaches and staff on hand, with lessons available at a reduced rate.

Must stay at our yard – no hidden costs apart from lessons with our coaches.

A loan contract will be provided to ensure everything is clear and understood for all parties 🌟

💙 Bella

Our lovely Bella Cob is looking for a small adult hacking loaner. Bella (Ultimate Confidence Giver)
Bella is safe, reliable, and versatile—an ideal allrounder for riders of any level. Whether you’re looking for fun, confidence, or a patient teacher, Bella is your perfect match.

We can offer either a 1 or 2 day loan arrangement — weekdays only, no weekends.

The loan contribution will go towards Bella’s feed, hay, bedding, and general staff costs.

Bella is kept on full livery, so no yard duties are required. However, if your riding time overlaps with yard routines, you may need to bring her in from the field.

Loaners will be expected to groom Bella thoroughly and pick out her feet before and after riding. Tack should always be stored safely and correctly, and cleaned when needed. Depending on the weather, aftercare may include using a cooler rug, or during warmer months, hosing/sponging her off before applying a cooler.
