Fiona has helped our family enormously to find our perfect ponies. She really takes the time to understand the level and needs of the rider before using her private network to match the perfect partnership. She makes herself very available to review videos after viewings and gives so much of her time and energy discussing each potential pony. She has an incredible eye for a correct pony which has saved us hours travelling to viewings and many pennies on expensive vettings. She’s a star and I recommend her to everyone I know looking to buy in the Wild West that is the current horse market.Posted on Google![]()

Fiona is a wealth of knowledge, kind, friendly and professional. She held our hands through the whole process of finding our dream pony after an awful year of stressful viewings and wrong matches. She understood my daughter’s sensitivity’s due to being neurodivergent, honestly we couldn’t have done this without her. Thank you Fiona.Posted on Google![]()

Fiona helped us buy my daughter's first ever horse. Her knowledge of horses and her understanding of what we needed was outstanding and I can honestly say made a rather daunting experience seem so easy. We couldn't have done it without her.Posted on Google![]()

Fiona is absolutely amazing at matching ponies with children. She has such a wonderful understanding of both the pony’s personality and the child’s individual needs, confidence and riding ability. She clearly puts a huge amount of thought and care into every pairing, and it really shows. Having Fiona on board is incredibly helpful because she can cut straight through the overwhelming number of options and quickly filter out those that simply aren’t suitable. This leaves you with a carefully selected shortlist of ponies that are far more likely to be a genuinely good match, making the whole process so much easier, less stressful and more enjoyable. Her knowledge, experience and instinct for finding the right partnership are invaluable.Posted on Google![]()

Fi was amazing at helping us find my daughter’s pony. She was so knowledgeable about the market and dealing with sales livery. She also helped in the first viewing by riding the pony herself and her daughters did too as we were quite far away. I highly recommend Fi and I would definitely use her services again.Posted on Google![]()

Producing ponies has truly been a lifesaver for me and my two daughters. Having never owned a horse before, everything has been a wonderful new adventure. Fiona welcomed us with open arms and helped us find our beloved little pony, George, who, despite his cheeky personality, has stolen our hearts ❤️. Throughout the entire process, Fiona was there every step of the way, offering guidance and support. I later decided to purchase Frank for myself—an elegant horse who was originally owned by Fiona and her daughter. She ensured that I was a good match for him, considering his sensitive nature and preference for calm vibes. We couldn’t be happier with both our boys and wouldn’t change a thing about them. If I ever decide to bring another pony or horse into our lives, I will undoubtedly go through Fiona again. Thank you so much! 🌟Posted on Google![]()

Fiona was recommended to me by a friend who had helped them find a star pony and Fiona was more than happy to help me with finding a new home for our much loved 12.2. Being based in the Isle of Man it’s hard for us to sell ponies into the UK and after some bad experience previously I needed someone I could trust! We discussed what home would suit our mare the most and after Fiona spent sometime with her, we found a change in discipline is exactly what she needed and Fiona worked hard and helped find the right home to see her train and settle in to a new direction. I found Fiona to be so lovely, caring always putting the pony first and extremely knowledgeable. We were regularly in touch with lots of messages, videos and photos which is a dream when trusting someone with your loved futbabies. 💯% recommend Fiona ! 🥰Posted on Google![]()

“I highly recommend using Fi to help you find a pony for your child. She was absolutely incredible for us in finding my daughter her next pony. Her two daughters Kitty and Scarlett were instrumental as well as they went to ride Frankie for us when we weren’t able to get up to Yorkshire in time. Fi has lots of contacts she uses and has an amazing way with contacting potential sellers and asking the ‘key questions’ and specific videos too. A huge thank you to Fi, Scarlett and Kitty ”
“Fiona helped me sell my little girls lead rein pony with absolute professionalism and the utmost care in respect of the pony and the new home for him. Her main priority was always to find the correct home and pairing, not the quickest and most lucrative sale. Absolute 5* credit to you Fiona as he has a super duper new home and little best friend. When looking for our next pony, she went over and above my expectations, last minute viewings, endless research and time talking to sellers. I can't thank you enough A***** ”
“Fiona went above and beyond to make sure the process of buying Jack was nothing but easy. She sent us all the videos we required. We live on the Isle of Man so traveling to and from the Uk (especially in the winter) is not easy. Fiona kept in contact with us throughout, even suggesting we travel early to get him due to a snow forecast! Jack is exactly as described. Would definitely recommend!”
“I was put in touch with Fiona after I began searching for my next horse. After discussing my needs, as well as Fiona assessing my riding ability, she was then able to assist me in my search, despite being far from local! As well as sending me potentially suitable horses, Fiona also advised me on ads/videos I would send her. I found Fiona to be professional, knowledgeable & very open & honest. I would happily recommend Fiona & wouldn’t hesitate to seek her help again.”
Where our ponies are now

I am truly impressed by the exceptional service I received, which I would rate as a five-star experience. My daughters, aged 8 and 9, have long been eager to have a pony. While they have been riding for a few years, my own background in the equestrian world is minimal. I have endeavored to learn alongside them, but the prospect of purchasing a pony was overwhelming. Fortunately, I discovered Fiona, who was consistently available to address my questions, no matter how basic they may have seemed. She requested videos of my daughters riding to better understand the type of pony that would be suitable for them. Fiona introduced us to the most beautiful pony, George. She accompanied us to view him, and at that moment, I felt uncertain about what to look for in a pony. Fiona conducted a short lesson with the girls to assess their compatibility with George, confidently asserting that he would be an excellent match for their skill levels. From that point forward, the entire process proceeded seamlessly. Fiona managed all aspects, including transportation and negotiations with the previous owners.

Fiona was so helpful in helping me buy a horse for my 12 year old daughter. We exchanged photos and details of horses we spotted and discussed whether they were suitable or not. It was fun - like going shopping with a friend! Fiona rang the seller and asked questions that I wouldn’t have even known to ask! She also advised on price - whether it was fair or overpriced. We visited Princess together in Newark. Fiona physically examined her from head to toe even her tongue, gums and teeth were checked! She then watched Princess being ridden, rode her herself and did a mini lesson with my 12 year old. She asked a ton of important questions and then advised me how to proceed with the sale. After agreeing the sale there is a whole host of things to do - purchase equipment, arrange stage 5 vets check, transport etc and Fiona was happy to help. I can’t recommend Fiona enough we could have made so many wrong decisions without her. Thank you

Fiona is brilliant 🤩! In a world where every single advert seems to say the same thing and every pony advertised is a 'mother's dream', I found finding a first ridden so daunting and stressful until I found Fiona. She gave me so much confidence and, through assessing my daughters riding ability, she helped me to understand the ideal pony to look for and, more importantly, the ones to avoid.
She is knowledgeable, calm professional and downright fantastic! She is also very well connected and can find gorgeous ponies that are perfect for their little rider. I can't thank her enough for finding Pip and I have no hesitation in recommending her. When the time comes for a second pony I won't mess about trying to find one alone - I will be straight on the phone to Fiona for our next adventure to begin!
