"Hollie " Grey Mare Lead Rein/First Ridden Pony

Hollie is a Welsh section a pony.

She had a foal in 2025. Filly is also available by separate negotiation. Would like them to go together if possible.

A very honest advert:

Hollie is a robust, healthy and beautiful pony. She is very intelligent and is a fast learner. She is bitted and lightly backed. She has been long reined and lunged and is very good. She is good to groom and pick her feet out.

Honest vices: Hollie identifies as a lead mare. The problem is, when placed in a herd with bigger horses and ponies- she typically gets beat up in the field due to her size.

This is incongruent with her beliefs that she is the lead mare and makes her very unhappy. She is better off in a smaller paddock with only one or two ponies (ideally smaller than her or submissive ones like her foal) who allow her to be their leader.

She finds large horses and busy field environments stressful due to this ongoing issue. She would be best suited to someone who has their own land or a couple acres at home and only keeps a small number of ponies, and ideally where she can have her own field (she only needs 1/2 an acre) or where she would be turned out with older horses or submissive ones.

Now for more positives:

As a lead mare, she is very clever, curious, observant and is a fast learner.

Lives off fresh air and water. Does not need any hard feed and only limited amount of grass. Costs very little to keep. I think in the last 6 months she’s only cost a salt lick and a couple of hoof trims.

She can be nervous at first but it doesn’t take long for this to disappear. In the right hands, she is a real gem.

Would benefit from an experienced horse owner home and as I said above, a quieter environment or at least option for her to have a small field with a tiny herd.

Comes with her bridle and matching pink saddle pad and her padded head collar. Saddle potentially available with her.

Her foal Ivy is in some of the pictures with her. Currently roan coloured but will likely turn grey like her mum at maturity.

Viewing essential.

Transport potentially available
