DPHT Sales List

Anton Coaker and Alison Geen, Sherberton Farm

The Coakers have farmed and bred ponies at Sherberton for over 160 years.   We keep pedigree Dartmoors and both pedigree Dartmoor breeders and other Dartmoor farmers have used the Sherberton bloodlines.   They are not mollycoddled and run with our pedigree Belted and Riggit Galloways and hill sheep on rough ground rising from 1000 ft above sea level. We have a variety of 1, 2 and 3 year old pedigree Dartmoor Ponies who are all sired by Hisley Saturn who is also for sale but due to be castrated on 13th April as he has such a quiet nature we feel he will break to saddle and be a lovely riding pony.  He has a very good temperament that he has passed on to his children, some of whom are listed below.   Please ask for more details as we have other ponies for sale than those listed

Ken & Daff Edwards - Langworthy Farm, Widecombe

Herd History

We started our herd with three mares who came from the moors with no identification marks on them. They were all of Dartmoor type and so were graded as SR1, which means they were eligible to enter the Dartmoor Pony Society's Supplementary Register, as Supplementary Register 1.
These mares were Lily, Bess and Mrs Brimble. Bess had a yearling filly at foot, a bay we called Jay and who has since become one of our SR1 mares. We were very lucky that our first three mares produced fillies in our first season of breeding from them.
Bess produced Langworthy Curlew, who was the champion foal in the Moorland Scheme that year. Lily produced a black filly, Langworthy Skylark and Mrs Brimble had a bay filly, Langworthy Nuthatch. These three fillies are registered with the Dartmoor Pony Society as SR2. As a yearling, Nuthatch was shown successfully in hand by Mrs E Houghton, winning a first at Chard Show and SR Reserve Champion at the Dartmoor Pony Society Championship Show. Nuthatch went on to produce our first full pedigree foal, a colt we called Langworthy Kookaburra, and who was sold to a good friend who loves him to bits for his very friendly nature!
Langworthy Curlew has done us proud. In addition to winning the Champion Foal mentioned above, she went showing in hand with Mrs Houghton as a three year old. She also had numerous wins, including the SR Championship, which she regained as a four year old. She has also started showing under saddle, with a very creditable third at the Championship Show, as only a four year old.
Our other foray into showing in 2010 involved our mare Jay with her filly foal that year, Langworthy Linnet, shown with Ken in the picture above. We were also delighted to see that one of our ponies, Langworthy Swift Ghost, owned by Mrs Houghton, had a very successful season as a yearling in 2010, culminating in South West Restricted Youngstock Champion and Reserve South West Restricted Champion.
All of our ponies are halter broken and taught to have their feet picked out at weaning and are sold microchipped with passports, and are regularly wormed.

Sue Martin - Pizwell Farm, Postbridge

Frank and Sue have grown up on Dartmoor so have many years experience of animals on Dartmoor, particularly ponies. We farm at Pizwell Farm, Postbridge, one of the ancient tenaments of the Moor. As well as our South Devon cattle & Cheviot sheep we have chosen to keep pedigree ponies but run them on the moor in a traditional manner. Sue is a Dartmoor Pony Society A Panel judge and more than happy to offer any advice you may need. We are proud to breed quality Dartmoor ponies for their temperament and suitability to become children's ponies.

All ponies for sale are by Swincombetor Monty( by Hisley Salvo) who is now in France so this will be the last chance to buy his stock.

All these ponies spent their first winter as foals indoors and given dry feed to help them mature. They have all been handled, haltered and had their feet picked up as a start to their basic education and are currently running out. They will shortly rejoin the herd back on the Moor. All are fully registered & passported and microchipped.
