Ryder is a 6-year-old Clydesdale cross gelding with a heart as big as his personality. Currently standing between 15.3hh and 16hh (to be confirmed), he is an eye-catching, solid stamp of a horse who turns heads wherever he goes.
Originally bought for a client, sadly due to unexpected health issues (a third hip operation), she will no longer be able to ride — which is a real shame, as Ryder would have been ideal. Since then, I've continued his education and the more I do with him, the more I believe he’s capable of turning his hoof to anything — he’d even look a picture in the show ring.

Training & Temperament

Ryder was backed at 4 years old but then turned away for 18 months. I’ve given him a full restart and he’s now 12 weeks back under saddle, taking everything in his stride.
Hacking alone or in company — happy in front or behind
Has been ridden and led from
Sensible, curious and forward-thinking
Will occasionally look at things, but nothing spooky — a little encouragement and he cracks on
Beginning his schooling journey now, and showing promise
He’s a genuine people-pleaser — first to the gate, trots over to say hello, and follows you around the field like a dog. He loves attention, cuddles, scratches and, of course, treats.

 On the Ground

Excellent for the farrier — recently had his first set of shoes
Vaccinations and teeth now fully up to date
Clipped for the first time here — behaved like a seasoned pro
Generally polite, though he can be pushy around food (easily managed — a quick finger click and he steps back like a gent)

Home Requirements

Ryder is looking for a knowledgeable, loving home where he’ll continue to be slowly and sympathetically produced. He’s a big softie who thrives on human interaction and would suit someone wanting a quality allrounder with a solid foundation to build upon.
He’s great around dogs, cats, and children — has even had kids sit on him bareback with no issues. Could easily see him being someone’s best mate, family horse, or future show partner.
Homes will be vetted — finding the right match is my top priority, and I don’t want him being passed from pillar to post.
Currently priced at £8,750

Please note this will increase as his training continues.

  • Lovely private home with unlimited forestry hacking

Wanted new best friend for older lady rider who enjoys hacking out in forestry , fun rides (often accompanying small children with pony club)

Bombproof unflappable type that enjoys hacking alone and in company.

15.2/3 ish not too slight needs to take up the leg and not mind a slightly cautious rider, someone not madly forward going .

My last horse has recently retired at age 30 and all my horses want for nothing. Must enjoy a fuss and load onto a Renault side loading van.

Stabled at home with lots of company

I don’t do much road work.

The Mighty Warrior - Coloured Horse, 1/4 Friesian

I have owned Teddy for 7 years (full history shared and known), and have practically grown up with this horse as he has taken me from the pony ranks to horse classes. He is Mr Reliable, he looks after my mum hacking and stays very still as she struggles to get on with stiff hips, he is safe in all traffic and would be a great mother daughter share, or amateur dream horse.

In the ring he is a rosette machine, he has qualified for the RIHS first time every year for the last 3 years and was placed both times we took him down inc 4th in 2023- highest placed amateur qualifying for the championship, and 8th this year in the strongest class I have ever seen. He had his first go at the HOYS qualifiers this year and has been well-placed in the few he has competed in, including GYS. He has so much potential and more to come. I also think he would be a great contender for the LIHS classes which we have not yet explored as he is so well schooled.

I think he would be a top class dressage horse, he can do walk to canter serpentines and is usually in the top 2 with 69%’s for the dressage competitions we have done. He is more woah than go which I prefer and a bit of a kick along but has very relaxed, supple, and big straight movement which they love.

Great to travel, shoe, and clips with no head-collar on. Gutting but genuine reason for sell- I am looking to return to the M&M’s/workers and unfortunately the money is tied up in him.

Based in Rawtenstall, Lancashire.

Please ring Victoria Walker on 07738 150819 for more info or to arrange a viewing.

Sad sale, only due to me taking a break from horses.
Clova is up to date with worming and vaccines. Same home since 6 months old, she travelled to me from Devon all by herself at that age and was a superstar.

She’s a typical youngster at the moment so very curious and likes to see how much she can get away with. Has a lovely trot and will be a fantastic ridden horse in the future.

I originally bought her for common rides and think she will be the perfect horse for that, as she is super bold once she knows you’re there to take care of her.

Daisy is a delightful young lady she is very friendly and loves being fussed over. She loves hacking and is very brave not spooky or silly, she will happily hack alone or in company.

I took Daisy on 2 farm rides on my own and she was super sensible and easy to tack up and load. She jumped everything that I asked her to I had the best time with her.

She has been stabled all winter with no turnout and this has not affected her temperament or ride ability at all, equally she could live out as is easy to catch and keeps herself to herself.

She is stabled on a busy competition yard with lots of comings and goings.

She will make a super riding club horse/ODE or dressage.

She has no stable vices and is up to date with teeth and vaccinations. She is barefoot at moment as has really good feet, good to clip, load etc. . Open to vetting.

She will only go to the best home as she is a special girl and has the funniest of personalities that will make you giggle. Mo

Rising 3 year old Flashy First Pony/Lead Rein Pony

£1,400 ONO
  • Cob
  • Palomino
  • Colt
  • 2 years
  • Will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony
  • He is going to make some little child very happy
This handsome chap is called ‘Flash’. He is a Rising 3 years old Colt of whom we’ve had from Birth. His Mum is our 13.2hh Coloured Cob Cross, and his Dad is a 14.3hh Lemon & White Cob. We put Mum in Foal in hopes to have something bigger than herself, but unfortunately Flash is not going to make the 14hh we would have liked.

Flash has been raised on our Family Smallholding and is extremely well handled.

He is currently standing 12.2/12.3hh but is still growing and very bum high. I would personally say he’s going to make 13.2hh.

Whilst he is a Colt, he is very quiet and takes everything in his stride. Nothing fazes him!

He is used to living in or out. With Mares & Geldings. He is good to load and travel, good with the Farrier (only ever been trimmed), good with the Dentist (last seen 24th April 2025), good to catch even from the biggest of Fields, will stand all day long to be groomed. Is not fazed with being washed out (even with a Jet Wash).

He’s up to date with Wormer.

He has been bitted up with a standard Snaffle. He is currently being long reined and has had tack fitted to him, and again not bothered in the slightest.

He is currently learning all via voice commands. Walk on, Stand, Trot on, Whoa, all the basics really. He has very very good manners.

Has never bitten, kicked or bucked. Honestly this Pony has no vices whatsoever.

He is going to make some little child very happy. He will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony.

This is going to be an extremely hard sale and he will NOT just be going to anyone.

Please only enquire if you are genuine and NO dealers.

Videos available and viewings welcome.
