Love love love Fox Farm......the best
If you're reading this not knowing whether you should pick up the phone to Fiona and the team, then don't think about it any further; just do it. In the last 6 months I have bought 3 super douper ponies from Fiona. All of them have done what they said they could do on the tin! And what's more, we all have hopes that they will exceed that. The team at Fox Farm are first class; as I am testament I would very much hesitate to find my "next" four legged friend from anyone else.
Thank you Fiona and team - see you soon for our first horse!!

When we lost our pony of 15years last November mum and I thought that we would never find another horse like her. However Gerry reccommended you. We came to you and found Smokey Lad. We could not have found a more perfect pony if we had searched for years( which considering we only looked at the other two you showed us). He is everything we could have wanted and more!!!! He is so loving and kind and lovely to ride. When we were looking we wanted another pony for life and that is exactly what we have. Thank you so much, such a lovely pony.

Thanks

Hi Fiona,

We bought Prince of the Dales (who we re-named Otto) from you last summer. We never planned to buy a four year old but Otto seemed like the perfect pony for me, and I am so glad that we did choose him! He has given me more confidence and fun than I could ever have imagined having and he even persuaded us to move to a more competitve yard. He is so sensible and brave; nothing phases him and he puts the older horses to shame. Otto jumps everything I point him at and always tries his hardest. I can let him have a full-blown gallop over the fields and I know that he will stop as soon as I ask and we are able to walk back on a long-rein. I can trust anyone on him. We have begun competing and Otto has earned the nickname 'Dude' because of how fabulous he is; he flies round arenas and has a careful, scopey jump. I cannot wait to join Pony Club and do more with him next year!

I would like to thank you for a super pony and the viewing process we experienced at Fox Farm. We had spent the weekend viewing ponies and were feeling thoroughly disheartened with everything we had seen. However, at Fox Farm I found it difficult to choose between the ponies - they were all great - and we given privacy to make our decision without feeling under any pressure.

I would definitely recommend Fox Farm.

Dear Fiona,

Biscuit is settling in really well and Olivia took him competing a few weekends ago and won a class and before that she came second twice. She is enjoying him so much and has had a lot of great lessons on him. Caroline also is very pleased with him. Olivia has also took him hunting and he is brilliant.

Today she took him on a christmas hack and to this email I have attached a picture of her.

Merry Christmas and thankyou for bringing Biscuit to us.

My Regards

Dear Fiona

We are writing to thank you for finding Theo for us.

We haven't written earlier because we wanted the horse to settle in his new surroundings and for us to then be able to write an honest and true testimonial for you.

Meghan has now taken part in both dressage, a pony club jumping instructional and pony club competition.

Theo is everything you said he would be and more. The horse has an amazing personality,brilliant manners in every way as stated by you. He is a real trier in all disciplines and is a great confidence giver to the whole family. He is fun to ride and exactly what we wanted.

We are very grateful for the door to door professional service you have given us and highly recommend you and your services to anyone wanting a horse.

With many thanks

Hi Fiona this is Susie from Cyprus (we bought the grey mare in the summer)
Just to let you know how she's getting on...fab! she seems to like the hot weather and has proven a good choice for my 11yr old student.
after only 2 months of riding my student took her to the new riders class (85cm) and also achieved clear rounds in unaffiliated classes of the same height. To keep her standards up I also took her to 1m classes twice where she won and also placed 3rd. She's turned out to be a real speed machine and with some further flatwork will compete in FEI events next year.
Thanks so much for your help :) x

- Susie

Fiona,
Thank you to you and your team for matching me and my daughters up with our delightful new pony, Real Exchange – or ‘Rio’ as he’s now known. He’s a super pony and the perfect match for the girls who will, I’m sure, enjoy him for years to come. Although he’s a youngster he has a sensible head on him, shows a willingness to learn and has been got off to a sound start with lovely, steady paces. Most of all, though, he is a really nice guy to have around.
Your thoughtful advice pointed us in the right direction so that we didn’t waste time trying things that weren’t going to be suitable and you were certainly right when you said you thought we’d like him!

Thank you again. I’m hoping that the girls won’t be growing too quickly too soon and so won’t need new ponies in the near future – but we’ll be sure to give you a call if that changes !

All the best,

- Gill Austin

Hi Fiona,

We all wanted to let you know how wonderful Rocky (Burren Lad II) has been since he has been with us. He is everything you said he was and in the short time we have had him he is already a member of the family.

He takes everything in his and we have taken him to three shows, two of which are places he has never been to and has has already had a 4th in the Newcomers ....

What we especially liked about you was having the opportunity to meet and speak on the phone so you had a real understanding of the type of pony we were after....

Thanks again for everything..

Warmest regards,
- Debbie, Mark & Caitlan

Hi Fiona,

Testimony coming up......

'Hi Fiona, sorry it's taken me so long to send you an update.
Would just like to thank you and all of your team for the help in matching me up to Talbot Pete. After a torrid time, losing my darling James who I'd been with for 18yrs, my chances of finding another horse of a lifetime were slim to nil, until I sat on Pete that is!
He is possibly the nicest young pony I have ever had the pleasure to deal with, his manners are impeccable, his personality wonderful and to ride just heaven. He is known as PPP, Perfect Pintsized Pete around here and all who know him agree he fits the bill.
He is everything I hoped for and more, to hack he is a gem, his flatwork a pleasure, improving all the time and what a pop he has in him over a fence, I think we have a little star on our hands - and all as a (what was) just turned 5yr old!!!
The whole team at Fox Farm made the viewing, purchase, delivery, sales livery of my horse the easiest and smoothest process ever for which I am so grateful, and they do it all with a smile!
Next time I'm in the market for a Connie, to go alongside PPP of course LOL, I know where I'm heading :-)

Wishing all of you the very best for the future,'

I bought my new ride Lucky Castana aka George from Fiona 2 months ago and I am so pleased with him. As advertised he has lovely paces, a super jump and a brilliant attitude. On top of this he is a right little character and such a pleasure to handle in any way.
I took him on his first XC outing today; he was foot perfect and we had a great time! I am confident he is going to develop into a real superstar, and I just cannot thank Fiona & her team enough for finding me this little gem.

Thanks again!

Dear Fiona,
Tayto has settled in like he has been here all his life. I am so very happy with him, he has only been with us just over a week. Today I went on a very lovely hack with him and we went over a motorway bridge, he never batted an eye lid. We had some trots and a lovely canter in open fields, I have jumped him a few times and he is schooling well on the flat - I am so very proud of him! I can see us doing really well in competitions together! I will keep you informed. My mummy and daddy have said they would always recommend you as they are very happy with how we have progressed in such a short time.

xx

- Lots of love from Nikki and Tayto Sherlock.

Dear Fiona,

I thought you might be interested to hear that Alice and Kilcole Man (Killy) have had a fantastic summer together. They have been on the novice area sj and eventing teams. At the eventing at Offchurch they were 4th with a double clear and at the area sj Killy jumped 2 clear rounds and the team qualified for the champs where they had one pole over the two rounds. They then got asked to jump at Burghley in the pc team sj which was 1.05m, and the first time they had competed at that height. They went beautfully with a couple of poles and a week later they did a pc Eventer Challenge over a similar height at Blenheim and again went really well. I've attached photos of Burghley and Blenheim plus team chasing, they were 6th at the Atherstone last weekend.

Absolutely delighted with the pony, he just keeps improving and we are hoping to move up to pc intermediate and do some BE100 next year.

Best wishes

Hi Fiona,

Exactly a year ago, we bought Beech Boy, a five year old Connemara from you. He had only been with you for a few weeks but you were able to assure us he was perfect for us and he is! Last week I represented my pony club at the Area Show jumping team competition and the Eventing team competition and he was brilliant! When we first came to you I was not a very experienced rider and we weren’t sure about buying a youngster. However Beech Boy (we call him Beebe for short) is quite steady and it has given me loads of confidence riding him as he will do as little and as much as you ask him to do! I put in a lot of work and my instructor really helped by riding him a couple of times when I was at school, so although he was really genuine it was a lot of hard work to get him to where he is now. Beebe has a really scopey jump and is naturally good at dressage too!! He is jumping a metre in show jumping and cross country and according to my cross country trainer; he should be doing Novice eventing next year! We have come so far in just a year and we still have a long way to go. He really is an affectionate, lovely and very genuine pony and I wouldn’t swap him for the world.

Thank you so much,

- Harriet and Sue Hughes

Hi Fiona

Thank you for all your help and time.
We bought a 14.2hh from Fiona for our daughter who went from a 12.2hh up to a 14.2hh connemara.
We discribed our daughter to Fiona and said I have one that sounds perfect but come and try,
Fiona was right and we bought Dreamer in 2010 who is a great confidence giver and they make a great team,
We are so pleased Fiona is now looking for a pony for our son.

Kind Regards

- Stephen Jane Elizabeth & William.

We bought a pony off you 3 years ago, as a 4 year old by the name of Tinapatch,Timmy in the stable. You believed this pony would be an exciting prospect for the future and although my daughter was only 12, we decided to take your advice and go ahead with the purchase.
Timmy is now 7 and I thought you might like to know how he has come on, over the last 3 years. Since registering Timmy with the BSJA he has gained his double clears easily for the British Novice and Discovery each year then the Newcomers and Foxhunter as we progressed. In 2008 we qualified for Scope by winning the Progressive and Adventurer qualifiers and also qualified the Discovery final by winning the 2nd round at Crofton Manor. We were also placed in the Newcomer 2nd round at the Home pony International show at Wales and West where it got up to 1.35 in the final round.
This year has started really well for us and Timmy has qualified for the Blue Chip Champonships by winning the Sapphire Qualifier at Norton Heath, the Coral and the Sparkle Qualifiers at Norfolk.
Timmy has been a wonderful pony for us and I would like to say thank you to you for your guidance and advice in the purchase of this pony,he has been exactly as you described and you and your team at Fox Farm were very relaxed and easy to deal with, giving us an overall pleasant experience in purchasing a pony.

Many thanks

We are thrilled with Rocky the 14.2hh connemara x appaloosa we bought from you in September.
He has done everything we have asked of him, and more, and is such a kind gentle person to handle.
We have taken him hunting and cubbing, which he has obviously done before and loves. He was a real machine!!
Tilly has been to a couple of show jumping competitions and just loves riding him. He is such a fun, happy chap with springs on his heels. Bliss to clip, easy in the stable and travelling.

Dealing with you was so easy and even though I took ages to organise the vetting etc you were very relaxed. It was very nice to be able to come to your yard and have 5 ponies to try and compare rather than travelling all over the country just to see one.

- Vanessa Barrow

Hi Fiona,

Just to say thank you very much for our lovely pony!
We bought our 14.2 connemara gelding Liseskar Lad (AKA Asher) from you about 5 weeks ago.
He has proved to be sane sensible and very willing he is also stunningly handsome too!!

I would defiantly recommend you to anyone looking for a quality pony that does what it says on the tin.

We couldn't be happier with him.

Julie Under

"Having previously bought 2 ponies from Fiona, and competed sucessfully with them both, when looking for a horse it was natural to come to Fiona again. We had tried some more experienced eventers but couldnt find what we were looking for. We came to Fiona's and tried three 14.2's, well we tried two and fell in love with the second, Tisrara Dream and collected him later that day! He is a very trusting little horse (having grown he is now around 15.2!!) and is a fantastic eventer. We took it steady with him in his first year with us, but after that we evented him up to PC Intermediate, reaching the Championships and coming 7th with a fantastic double clear, and this year, I did my first Open ODE with him, coming 10th, and competed again at the PC Intermediate Eventing Champs winning my section on 27.79penalties (26.79dressage and one time fault XC!) and the team also won. What a fantastic little horse! We all love him to bits, and we recommend Fiona and Fox Farm to anyone looking for a horse or pony!!"

Thanks again Fiona!

Hi Fiona

I hope you and your family are well.

We visited Fox Farm when we were looking for a 14.2hh pony for my tall, but young 9 year old daughter. We tried several ponies; which enabled us and my daughter to decide upon the type of pony she wanted / needed. Following Fiona’s recommendation we tried a pony that was ideal. Within a week of getting the pony home; my daughter had already won her first show jumping class. I will highly recommend that my friends visit Fiona, when they are looking for a good quality pony for their children.

Regards

Phil and Fiona Haldenby


PS – Victoria won her first class she competed on Puzzle and then went on to win the overall show shield!!!


- Phil and Fiona Haldenby

I needed a horse for both my daughter and myself to ride. I have been out of the saddle for over 5 years, so wanted something calm and reliable with the ability to do a decent dressage test. My daughter on the other hand wanted something with a bit of presence and scope to jump the higher tracks. As we live in Jersey with lots of riding on the roads, reliability and safety in traffic is essential. Dexter, the perfect horse arrived. Not only does he tick all the boxes we required, he is a very “nice person”, gets on with the other horses in the yard and is a perfect gentleman to do. Fiona certainly knows her stuff and next time we need a horse, I know exactly where to go!”

- Helena - Jersey

Over the past few years, we have brought 7 ponies and 1 horse from Fiona. We found Fiona and her team very friendly and helpful. All the ponies we brought have been good honest young ponies and we will definitely be looking to buy further horses from here. We have had no troubles when buying these horses and would recommend Fiona to any potential buyers.

Dear Fiona,

We are absolutely delighted with Beech Hall Foxglove 'Foxy' she has settled in extremely well and we all love her so much. Bethan has gained loads of confidence and jumped 2 clear rounds on her last week. Foxy has an amazing personality and she is great to handle, we could not have wished for a better mare. Everyone has bonded so well with her.
We would all like to express our thanks to you for all your patience and help in making the transition go so smoothly. Nothing was any trouble to you and you were really accomodating in helping to make the sale, we do appreciate what you did for us,many many thanks Fiona.

We wish Fiona and Fox Farm Equestrian all the very best in the future.
- All our thanks... Michael, Ann and Bethan Porter.

To David & all at Fox Farm,
We brought a 14.2 bay irish sport pony from you on the 20th of February 2009. Since we have had him, he hasn't put a foot wrong and is a completely unspoiled, well mannered pony. We took him straight out jumping, and he was an absolute angel from start to finish, getting rosettes from every class we entered. He is a pleasure to own and is completely as described, we'd definitely reccomend Fox Farm and you can keep an eye out for us or check out our website, www.ponypals.co.uk for 'Alfie's' progress with us.
Thanks again,

- Ian, Gemma, Jodie and Alfie.

Hi Fionna

You may not remember me but my name is Holly. I bought The General off you. I am just writing to say how good Paddy (the general) is doing. I have done loads of competitions and have just done my first pony club activity and it's never been so fun.

Paddy is a great pony and i want people to see how good your ponies actually are . He has bought me so far no joke!! Last summer i was not able to jump over 2ft3 and lost alot of confidence jumping since having paddy i am know jumping 3 ft at home and 2ft9 in area 5 team show jumping in the last 6 months. He is great fun and every one loves him. I have also jumped XC for the first time in a competition we got a clear round he loves to jump and i love him to bits and i just wanted to say thank you!!!!!!
- Your sincerely Holly Kettlewell :-)

Just to let you know that Ollie has settled in beautifully with us, we are absolutely thrilled with him and wish to thank all from Fox Farm for the care you gave us whilst choosing our lovely pony.

We thoroughly recommend Fox Farm to anyone looking to buy. Below is a short testimonial.

Thanks

Mark, Jayne, and Heather Morrison

A huge “thank-you” to Fiona and her team. We are absolutely thrilled with the pony we bought from Fox Farm. The process, from viewing to buying, was brilliant and trouble free. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for Fiona, as she was happy to meet any request we had, including accommodating a 5 stage vetting. We would highly recommend Fox Farm to any potential buyer – a thoroughly honest family to deal with.

- Mark, Jayne and Heather Morrison

I brought a pony from Fox Farm almost a year ago now " Almond Magnum" a beautiful dun gelding. And i was just Emailing to say how pleased I Am with him and he has come on so much in a year! We started off doing lots of pony club to get to know him and took him hunting then the spring came and we started competing at local shows. I was so pleased with him, there wasn't one shows we hadn't come home without rosettes! The judges in the ring loved him, and we qualified for the Chiltern & Thames championships, and there we were 3rd! Couldn't have ended the summer on a better note!
And last weekend we did a novice Team Chase at bicester and came 2nd. and have another this sunday!
Hopefully leading upto a sucessful year in 2009.
I really can't thank you enough this pony is amazing, and we've had alot of fun on him! And everyone loves him.

- Megan Grandi

HI Fiona and your team! I thought I would drop you a few lines about the Dun Connemara I bought from you last July
We have had a super time and lots of fun, showjumping, dressage and of course M&M WHP classes finishing 4th and 8th at Ponies UK Championships in August
I am really pleased with him, hes certainly an entertaining character! I enjoy riding him much more than the bigger ones!

- Helen Taylor

Since buying Just Jack 6th from you who is 6 years old what a fantastic pony with a lot of scope, we took him straight on to the circuit, with fantastic results. my 13 year old daughters confidence has grown tenfold and she has already got 3 double clears in British novice and he is now jumping new comers.

Thank you so much for finding Connie such a fab pony, I have now recommended that my friend come to you when they are looking for ponies. I will definitely come back to you to buy my next one

- Sharon Richardson

I bought Viedor R from Fiona Wingrove last year. It was an easy, no pressure sale and 'Orange' has been absolutely as described and more. He has won on every outing affiliated dressage, has been placed at regional and national championships British Eventing and has obviously been correctly produced and is a pleasure to deal with in all respects. I am already planning my next horse purchase from her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an unspoilt competition horse that is as described!
