Castle Hill Black Jack
2013 | 14.1hh | Gelding | Dales Pony

A truly special gelding, “Jack” is now searching for his perfect forever partner. This is a very reluctant sale of a kind, talented, and striking Dales pony with so much to offer in the right hands.

Basic Information

Name: Castle Hill Black Jack
DOB: 02/10/2013
Height: 14.1hh
Breed: Dales Pony
Sex: Gelding (gelded 2021)

Discipline & Experience

Originally purchased by The Nipna Stud to introduce a new bloodline, where he sired 16 foals – several of which have gone on to qualify for HOYS.

Since being gelded at 8, Jack was purchased back and produced by the talented and very well-known Sarah Parker. I have been in contact with all his previous owners, so I know his full history.

His original homes previous had more of a high level showing focus with professional producers riding him. It was felt it was more suited as an allrounder with a more varied life.

He has adapted beautifully to a more varied ridden lifestyle and continues to thrive.

Jack has enjoyed a varied career so far, with a strong foundation in showing, dressage, hacking, beach rides and fun rides.
County-level and local show success, consistently placed and proven quality.

Temperament & Personality

Jack is a kind-hearted, genuine pony with not a bad bone in his body.
Affectionate, intelligent, and quick to learn.

He can be cheeky at times but thrives with routine and consistency and boundaries. He Loves attention, enjoys pampering, and is safe enough to carry small children when asked.

He would truly excel in a 1-to-1 home where he can build a strong partnership.

A good doer – happy living in or out, alone or in a herd. Despite being stabled and turned out next to mares, he couldn’t be less bothered and regularly hacks out with both mares and geldings. You would never know his was previously a stallion!

Due to his later start under saddle, he has low mileage and is still a little green in places but shows excellent potential with the right level rider, time and empathetic yet firm partner.

Training & Handling

Good to shoe, clip and catch.
Excellent with the farrier, dentist and vet.

Well-mannered on the ground providing consistent but clever enough to test a novice – thrives with confident, consistent handling.

Health & Maintenance

5-stage vetting undertaken in 2022 (available for viewing)
No ongoing health issues or maintenance requirements
Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, farrier, physio, and saddler

He has transitioned beautifully from a structured mainly schooling and showing life to a natural herd environment with plenty of forage and freedom.

Rider Suitability

Jack would suit a competent, confident rider who can offer him boundaries, consistency, and encouragement as he can sometimes lack confidence. But he does hack alone and in company

He is not a “novice project,” but he is a genuine, safe pony in the right hands.

Would excel in a varied home enjoying hacking, showing, and fun outings.
Has previously jumped (not with current owner) and would enjoy a rider keen to explore this further.

Achievements & Highlights

16 offspring sired at The Nipna Stud – proven quality bloodlines
Strong county-level and local level record with multiple ribbons
Last show outing: Reserve In-Hand Champion & Ridden Champion
Stunning presence, correct conformation, and true-to-type movement

Price & Location

£14,000 ONO – negotiable for the perfect home
Tack and rugs available under separate negotiation

Based in East Sussex.

The Right Home

This is a heartbreaking and reluctant sale.

I am focusing on bringing on my younger Dales, and Jack deserves the time and consistency to truly shine that I am not able to offer him, I just want the best for him.

Potential homes will be carefully vetted – Jack will only go to someone who can offer him the love, attention, and fulfilling, varied lifestyle he deserves.

Castle Hill Black Jack is a rare opportunity to own a top-quality Dales gelding with a proven show record and endless future potential.

Serious enquiries only, no LWVTB, open to vetting.

The most important thing for Jack is to find his forever home that he can enjoy and thrive with a best friend to have the best life together.

I am not in a rush to sell him and he will only go to the most suitable home.

Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Fulford Micky - 145cm Dales Gelding

Micky has had a stellar career as an M&M - he is a true representation of the breed as well as a versatile and diverse pony. He has won an incredible array of competitions as an M&M pony.

Previous Showing Results include:
- Picton Final Winner
- Multiple RIHS finalist
- Winner RIHS Amateur Q Staffordshire County Show
- Winner and Champion Pretty Polly RIHS Q bsps area 9b
- Multiple in-hand silver medal winner
- British Isles Supreme in-hand finalist
- Ridden Silver Medal Winner
- Dales Pony Society points champion

Micky turns his hoof to anything - he has been in evening performances as a ridden m&m, in-hand m&m, side-saddle pony and in concours. He has never needed plugs or calmers for shows or evenings, and doesn’t take hours of working in! He has traditional dales knee action in trot, and a comfortable canter. Has competed affiliated BD and has points. He has qualified for two finals at the TSR amateur finals - the mountain & moorland large breeds and the riding club pony.
He loads, travels, is good for the farrier/dentist/vet and hacks alone or in company, in the light or in the dark. He doesn’t like heavy traffic.

He has been ridden side saddle and jumped side saddle - easy to do side saddle doesn’t require extra working in or riding astride first. Happy to have the side saddle on and compete even after a few months without practice!

Recently he has been winning as a WHP and is completely unphased by fillers etc. and he has also hunted and is brilliant out on the field!

He is only for sale as rider is moving away from M&M to focus on the plaiteds.

Fully Registered Dales Gelding 'Earnwell Dicky Dido'

Earnwell Magic Lady x Carrock Jack Daniels

Dicky is a lovely boy he has been to one show with us where he won both his classes and will be kept going until we find him the right home ,eligible novice classes.

Previously used in a riding school he is good to catch, bath, clip, shoe, load and a lovely boy in general great in and out the stable will stand all day for attention a very kind boy.

Dicky has hacked out alone and in company enjoys a varied life. He has previously jumped and would make a cracking worker or hunting pony.

He is on a yard with tractors and lots of machines he’s seen them all and doesn’t bother about them.

Snaffle mouthed and not at all strong but full of pony character and would run rings round a novice.

No timewasters or video collectors please!!

Carrock Little Mo

Mo really is one in a million, there is nothing that this pony can’t turn his hoof to and he’s guaranteed to do it with a smile on his face.

Lovely stamp of the breed, good confirmation and active action.

He’s easy to do in all ways, will load and travel on anything in company or alone and stand on patiently, he’s easy to take anywhere on your own.

He schools nicely, he’s done numerous camps at somerford, clinics, shows, farm rides, beach days, ode, BRC riding club activities etc. He’s not phased by steps, water or ditches. He’s good to hack alone or in company front or back.. he doesn’t love large vehicles but the worst he does is get jelly legs.. in company or even with someone on the ground he’s fine.. we have to ride across main roads through a busy housing estate to get to our hacking and it’s never an issue.

He’s been ridden and shown by children ideal for the hoys junior, open, equally he would thrive in a pony club home!

we’ve done the workers this year with lots of success qualifying for stars championships. He’s been to many venues and always gets on with the job, he’s not a spooky type, requires no calmers and hardly any working in.

He’s ever so slightly itchy but we manage this with an injection yearly and keeping a fly rug on him and it does the trick.

Same home since a yearling, he’s been an absolute joy to bring on. only for sale as I have another youngster ready for next season.

Tack Available - Black Country saddle & Rugs.
Nice long term home is very important.
