I purchased a pony from way up north sight un seen through Carole
as i live in the South Island. I was not disappointed, Carole was more than
helpful and great to deal with in all respects of discussing the horse with me
and helping with arranging transport and following up once the pony had arrived.
She went over and above normal horse sale dealings for me and i once again say a
big thanks to her. I would have no hesitation in recommending Carole to
anyone. Regards Lorraine

to sell her. The first person I thought of was Carole. Carole has the knack of
finding either the right pony or the very best of homes when it comes time to
part with them. With Carole’s help Abbey found her new home within four
days. She has gone to a fantastic family and a lovely little girl. I couldn’t
be happier. Thanks again Carole for all your help & advice, I don’t
hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for or selling ponies.

Just wanted to say a very big “thank you” for finding Coco such a lovely
home. Brooke and her mum are a delight, already bonding with Coco after only a
couple of days together. Selling Coco was absolutely hassle free. We made the hard decision to sell
our lovely pony in order to make room for a larger pony for my ever growing pre
teen daughter! Four days later she had been tried out by the ideal rider and on
the 5th day the sale was completed and Coco was on her way to her new home! This is the second time that

Thank you very much for help finding Coco my daughter fell in love the minute
she hoped on and rode her. I saw a confident young girl again doing something
she loves, and we just knew straight away she was the pony we had spent the past
3 months looking for. She has been a dime since we brought her home and on her
1st day which was today, my daughter took her up to the arena and around the
entire neighbor hood to meet everyone, we couldn’t have wanted a better response
from a pony who was only day 1 at her new home, and everybody thought she was
just beautiful so we are wrapped we just wanted a good safe pony and ended up
with a one pretty to. Weir Family

I am so grateful to Carole for selling our pony for us. I wasn’t sure how to go
about advertising him and didn’t really want to try! It was so easy to just send
the photos of him to Carole and she totally took it all over. She put a lot of
energy into it and re listed him regularly, while keeping in touch with me too.
Carole was also very helpful when it came to advice in regards to his value etc.
I couldn’t have done it without her and wouldn’t do it any differently next
time. I would highly recommend to anyone with intentions of selling their pony
or horse to put it in Carole’s very well respected hands if they wish to achieve
a positive and stress free result! Nicki Dalton

“Shiloh” Lovely pony has got a great new home.
Used with permission:
Selling our pony, Shiloh was a very heart wrenching decision to make. The
main concerns being finding someone kind who would really love and understand him as we did and take good care of him. It was by chance I got talking to
Carole and she offered to sell him for us. I’m so glad and thankful that I
accepted Carole’s offer because she found Shiloh the best home a pony could
wish for. She really does care 100% about the pony and puts a huge amount of
energy and time into finding just the right home. I don’t know how she does
it, but she has an amazing ability to perfectly match a pony and rider. Thank
you so much Carole. To anyone contemplating selling a pony, or leaving a much
loved pony sitting in a paddock for fear of the type of home he might end up
in, just leave it in Carole’s capable hands – she will find him the perfect
home. Kindest regards, Susanne.

Carole, thank you so much for finding a home for our little Dawn. I was anxious

horse I will be sending them your way! Thanks again, Catherine

After searching for many months for a pony for my daughter, I contacted
Carole regarding a pony she was selling on behalf – a pony I’d previously
dismissed due to her being at the wrong end of the country. After reading
the testimonials on Carole’s website and having had a recent totally
positive dealing with Carole, I did something I vowed I would never do – purchase a pony sight unseen. I’m so glad I put my trust in Carole – not only
did she find us the perfect pony “An Angel from Heaven” according to my
daughter, she also arranged very affordable transport. Thank you so much
Carole, you truly are amazing – a genuine, honest trustworthy person. Dawn
is the perfect pony for us – we totally adore her. An added bonus is, as
well as being sweet and kind, she is beautiful! Kindest regards, Susanne.

“Misty” Thank you Gina
Used with permission:
We had to make the very hard decision to sell our dearly
loved pony as we had outgrown her and wanted her to go to a home where she would
be enjoyed, loved, well cared for and live the life she was used to here We had
previous contact with Carole when looking for Misty’s replacement and she
recommended the most fantastic pony for us and I knew when the time came to find
Misty a new home and little rider that Carole would do this perfectly for us.
She has gone to a great new home. We miss her greatly and hope her new little
rider gets as much fun, enjoyment and success from her as we did. I would have
absolutely no hesitation in recommending Carole and I’m sure that when the time
comes we will be calling on her services again. Thanks very much Carole.

“Carnesso Night Watchman” Congratulations Joanne.
“Korroway Preview” Thanks Pip!
Carole provided a first class service for the sale of our pony. Carole grazed
the pony at her place while she was being advertised. She was able to assess her
first hand and had personal knowledge and experience of the pony she was selling
for me. Carole is totally honest, conscientious and is a pleasure to deal with.
Carole is an experienced horsewoman. She understands the practical dynamic
involved in letting an old friend go, and of welcoming a pony into a new family.
She provides clear, simple and accurate information and advice, and is solely
motivated by the best, long term, interests of the pony and rider. Carole goes
the extra mile to ensure that the right match has been made. I have no
hesitation in recommending Carole to anyone looking to sell their beloved steed
or purchase a new one. A.Mobberley

When it was time to sell our pony and buy a new one we had no hesitation to contact
Carole again. She makes things so easy - she sold our pony Prince within days
and had a wonderful pony grazing on her property when we visited that swept us
off our feet! We are thrilled with how easy the whole transaction was. Carole
organised the trucking for us, and our new addition arrived just in time for the
new season. I don’t quite know how Carole finds ponies with such wonderful
temperaments, but she matches the owner and pony perfectly! Thank you
Carole! Katrina & family

Another easy hassle free sale in finding our lovely little lady a fantastic
home, we bought Majic through Carole for Molly & she was every thing we were
told, we now have a very confident 4 1/2 year old who was ready for a new pony.
When it came time to find her a new home I had total confidence that Carole
would re-home her to a fantastic family which she did so quickly, she even
organized the transport & I was kept informed the whole time, even when
Majic had arrived to her new home. We will definitely keep in touch if we need
to buy & sell again. Fiona Taylor

I recommend Carole very highly to anyone selling their
beloved horse/pony or looking for their next purchase. The whole process of
selling our wee pony was made so easy with Carole handling everything from
advertising, liaising with potential buyers, transportation and the transferring
of funds. A quick and easy sale makes for less heart break when parting with
your equine friends. What a lovely person Carole is and made us feel very
comfortable and at ease with her handling the sale of our pony, Carole certainly
went the extra mile for us. We will absolutely be using Carole in the future
for any selling or buying of our future horses and ponies. Kind Regards – Am
