Sale Policies
 
Our first goal in selling any horse from Ambleside Farm is to find it the home that is most ideal for its temperament and potential, making honesty paramount to every sale. We would never misrepresent an animal for the purpose of making a deal (or any other reason!); it is not in our best interest to have unhappy customers. The best advertisements we have are happy owners who will get out with their horses, either for show or pleasure, and tell others where their lovely animals came from! We are always pleased to give post-purchase help and stay in contact with our buyers.
Fell Pony Sales
We do not offer foals for sale in utero. It is our belief that it is necessary for each foal to be born ! so that we can assess its individual qualities and temperament before deciding whether and at what point in its training to let it go on to a new home. Ambleside Farm is currently in its "budding" stage, of course, so we will likely have only youngstock for sale in the next few years, but it is our hope to focus as soon as possible on providing trained adolescent and adult ponies for sale to other Fell Pony enthusiasts.  We believe it is important that our ponies be used and enjoyed as this smart, capable breed is meant to be and that the best way to ensure this is to put the training into them ourselves before the sale.
Foal Handling
Our foals will be properly socialized and broken confidently to halter before they are offered for sale. They will have a great deal of "horse time" to develop their horse/pony sensibilities and socialize both with other babies and the adults of the herd, but will also be handled regularly and exposed to a variety of situations and environments. I pride myself on happy, willing horses and ponies of all ages that have a positive relationship with people. We will know our horses and ponies inside and out and be able to represent them accurately and fully to potential new owners!

Felicia SOLD to Jon, thanks to all who inquired!

Felicia is a beautiful dark bay miniature horse mare with endless stamina and great movement. She is a proven mother of driving ponies as well--both of her known offspring are amazing pullers, one of which (Daegn, see News Page for his show career) was responsible for my first championship ribbon. Her tail drags the ground and she has enormous soft eyes and a long, elegant neck. She is very green broke to drive at the moment. I am not selling Pheonix, so Felicia will not be available to leave the property until he is weaned. I will gladly accept inquiries on her at this time, however. She will be very reasonably-priced. See the miniature horse page for her details! Email for pictures.

Dorian SOLD, Thank you and Congrats to Debbie and Dennis!

dordrive2



Dorian is a 32" three-year old gelding, registered Goldhat's Rowdy Dorian with AMHA. Dorian was started in carriage driving this fall and after having the winter off is back in training and doing beautifully.  He demonstrates excellent natural impulsion on our drives and despite his small size can easily pull two average adults in a balanced cart. He is a strong and confident puller but quiet and laid-back on the ground, which makes a stellar combination. Dorian is sure to stand out at the shows with his flashy palomino pinto coloring and dishy arab face. He is offered for a very reasonable price to a driving home.  Dorian will continue to be driven until he is sold, putting on miles and building his confidence.

Duchess

I am regretfully offering Duchess for sale to the right home only. Duchess is 40" and registered ASPC. She is our resident fairytale pony, with her beautiful looks and exceptional movement. Duchess was introduced to driving at the beginning of this summer and has progressed fantastically. She is confidently moving out on our roads with dogs, trash cans, kids, and cars on all sides! She has proven to be a clever and willing pony with the right nature to take her owner up the levels in combined driving or prove herself in the pleasure ring. I can't say enough good about Duchess. I will only let her go a driving home, either as a safe family or pleasure pony, or for showing. She also has excellent ground manners and is a lovely horse to be around. Duchess will continue to be driven until she is sold.
