Profile:
We the Dartmoor Pony Training Centre are looking to home Pippin a 2½ year old gelding who we took on from a farmer in October 2005. Pippin was originally one of our sponsor ponies but is quite a nervy pony and so we decided was not suitable to be travelled to lots of shows to meet his public! We therefore retired him from the scheme.

He is a very friendly pony and happily has a head collar on and will lead but you must be slow in approaching him. We are currently building up his confidence in us so not yet worked on feet. We think he will come on quickly with the right daily handling but may take a while to settle in to a new home as he has been in current herd since he was 6 months old.

He is a very sweet natured pony and we really want to find him a home that ca give him the attention he deserves to bring out his full potential.


About us
We are a non-profit organisation registered with the Council for Voluntary Services. Please see below a summary of our aims:

To take on a number of ponies every year to train and re-home preferably doing ‘high profile’ jobs e.g. working as therapy ponies. We hope that these ponies will act as ambassadors for the breed.

To promote Dartmoor Hill ponies in any way possible.

To offer advice and marketing and training support to people wanting to sell their ponies privately (including online sales list.)

To offer advice and information on suitable training methods for working with Dartmoor Hill ponies. (Including running training workshops and events.)

To compile a list of national trainers with experience working with Dartmoor Hill Ponies.

To work alongside and support other organisations and bodies working with Hill Ponies to help us achieve our aims.
