MORWYN LADY JULIANN

A Truly Exceptional First Pony

12hh | 14 years | Registered Welsh Section B Mare | Deep Liver Chestnut

£4,500 ONO | Wigton, Cumbria

A beautiful, exceptionally kind and wonderfully sensible first pony, very sadly offered for sale as outgrown.

Complete with rugs and two sets of clean, serviceable tack, all included in the price. An ideal first pony package, ready for her next little rider.

Juliann combines the elegance and quality of a beautifully bred Welsh B show pony with the patience, intelligence and extraordinary good sense of a much-loved children's pony.

A striking, deep liver-chestnut mare with a refined Welsh head, elegant proportions and a wonderfully quiet presence. With her rich colouring and dark mane and tail, she looks like a miniature Stubbs' Whistlejacket.

But beautiful as she is, it's her temperament that makes her truly special.

A lead-rein pony without the lead rein!

Perhaps Juliann's most remarkable quality is her exceptional responsiveness to voice commands.

She gives a young child the wonderful feeling of riding independently while remaining attentive to an adult supervising nearby.

From several metres away, simply call "Trot" and she trots, "Walk" and she walks, "Whoa" and she stops. Call her name and she looks towards you. Ask her to "Step up" or "Step down" and she understands exactly what you mean.

Even at Pony Club, when the instructor calls "TROT!" across the arena, Juliann is already obligingly trotting before her little rider has quite organised her own legs!

For a beginner, this is a wonderful advantage. The child can concentrate on balance and learning their aids while an adult helps guide Juliann with familiar voice commands.

The pony who taught our daughter to ride

When Lily first started riding Juliann, she was a very nervous girl.

We would stand Juliann beside our raised paving so Lily could climb into the saddle. Sometimes Lily would cry, get halfway on, change her mind and climb down again.

Juliann simply stood.

And stood.

And stood.

Sometimes for half an hour, without moving a foot or showing the slightest impatience.

When Lily finally found the courage to get aboard, Juliann would set off at the gentlest dawdle imaginable, quietly walking along our local footpath, unconcerned by double-decker buses, cyclists, barking dogs or the bustle around her.

When Lily was ready to trot, Juliann responded to our voice commands with the smoothest, slowest little trot imaginable. If Lily bounced crookedly or lost her balance, Juliann would slow down and steady herself beneath her.

It was almost as though she understood exactly what her little rider could manage.

Today, Lily rides independently, hacks out, attends Pony Club, schools and enjoys popping small jumps.

Juliann has been her patient, sensible companion every step of the way.

Beautiful breeding and exceptional early handling

Juliann is Morwyn Lady Juliann (WPCS 168309), a fully registered Welsh Section B mare by Morwyn Bronze Ensign out of Morwyn Princess Nectarina, with four generations of pedigree recorded in her passport.

She was bred by the late Mrs Audrey Weaver of Morwyn Stud, North Wales, a respected Welsh pony breeder and exhibitor.

Audrey was a member of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society from 1962 and was a founding member and first secretary of the Clwyd Welsh Pony and Cob Association, serving until her retirement in 2014.

Juliann was extensively shown in-hand as a youngster. Her refinement, quality and lovely manners reflect her breeding and years of experienced, sympathetic handling.

A wonderful little personality

Juliann is affectionate, intelligent, inquisitive and thoroughly convinced that she is the most important member of the family!

She always whinnies when she sees us coming and is invariably waiting at the gate to greet us. She adores being groomed, fussed over and generally admired, and is particularly fond of peppermints.

She is wonderfully accustomed to busy family life. Our eight cockapoos regularly race out barking and bouncing to greet her, and Juliann is always delighted to see them!

She has lived happily with our other horses, but we have preferred keeping her at home in the garden, where she enjoys having everyone's attention to herself.

A proper little Welsh lady, with a beautiful face, a kind personality and a wonderful respect for the rules.

Ridden experience and suitability

Juliann has been an exceptionally steady, patient and forgiving first pony throughout our ownership.

She is not sharp, fizzy or inclined to rush. She is accustomed to everyday traffic, including buses, cars, cyclists and dogs, and has happily hacked out independently.

She has enjoyed Pony Club activities, schooling and small jumps, and is naturally more inclined to slow down than speed up.

She has a lovely, balanced trot and is not being sold as a forward-going competition pony or ambitious jumping prospect. Her real talent is helping a young rider develop balance, independence and confidence at a comfortable pace.

Her vaccinations are up to date as of November 2026. At the same visit, her vet checked her heart and teeth, recording both as satisfactory in her passport.

Recent ridden photographs and videos from November 2026 are available, showing her schooling and participating in Pony Club activities.

A very reluctant sale

We are only selling Juliann because Lily has grown too big for her.

She has been a treasured member of our family and has given our daughter the most wonderful introduction to riding.

We are looking for another loving, knowledgeable family who will appreciate her beauty, breeding, character and extraordinary patience, and where she can give another young child the same happy start.

Some ponies teach children to ride. Juliann has the rare ability to make a child feel like a rider before they've quite learned how.

Top-Class, Class 1 Connemara Mare – future hoys Junior and All-Rounder

Beautiful 7-year-old Class 1 Connemara mare with exceptional breeding . She is an absolute mother-and-daughter dream.

A lovely all-rounder with plenty to offer, she would be ideal for a mother-and-daughter share or make a fantastic future hoys junior pony or a fantastic dressage pony as she is straight and correct with beautiful paces .

Kiltiernan Silver Sally. - 8 year old Top Track 138 pony.

Sally is everything you need in a child’s jumping pony. She’s been slowly produced through the aged classes in Ireland.

She won an RDS qualifier last year as a 7 year old. Since then she has been ridden by a nervous rider who is still riding 128s. Sally has now stepped up to the 1.15 and 1.20 tracks, with great ease. She has low mileage, but is not green and has a clever and kind brain.

She will chip in or stand off as required and always looks after her rider.

Her main trait is that she tries her heart out every time and NEVER stops.

She has lots of scope and is genuinely careful. This pony is going to become one of the best 138s in Europe and at only 8 can look forward to many years jumping at the top level. She is a machine! Only for sale as her rider has started boarding school so has limited time and we are moving to 148s as she’s very tall.

This is a pony who will be jumping at the top level for many years. She is a genuine, uncomplicated ride and is priced accordingly. If you want a pony to jump top tracks next year - qualify for RDS, HOYS etc, this is your pony. No time wasters please.

Based in Ireland - 45 minutes from Dublin Airport

148 cm grey registered Connemara gelding 9 years (Moonlight Silver Shadow X Menlough Owen) N/N hoof wall

Super safe and genuine PC pony, first competition pony type. A real schoolmaster and a super introduction to competition.

Shadow is a super chap who has been owned locally and done a bit of everything. Shadow has done all PC activities, camp, clinics and lots of XC schooling and hunter trials. Recently he has been out competing in NSEA show jumping at 80/85 cm and lots of unaff SJ.

He’s very genuine to jump, enjoys his job and never says no, excellent out and about and a real confidence giver, he’s given his current riders a super introduction to having fun with horses and he is sadly outgrown and they have moved on to a horse. Shadow is a well schooled ride on the flat with three good paces and a nice mouth and way of going. He would be a competitive pony to take out eventing at unnaff PC/ grass roots level.

Shadow adores his hacking and is safe and sensible out and about, he’s excellent in traffic, good in open spaces and a really nice ride. He loves going out and about, having a varied life style and would best suit an active PC/RC type home where he can do a bit of everything.

Total gentleman to have on the yard, lives in or out, good to catch, box, clip, shoe etc. no quirks or hangups!

A perfect package of deliciousness, i quickly run out of superlatives for this cracking pony.

Buddy is an absolute model to look at- a gorgeous colour and well put together. He creates a lovely picture on the flat and has enjoyed numerous 70% + outings.

Having previously SJ to 1.20m in Ireland, more recently he has enjoyed success at 80/90cm with his teenage jockey and also many xc outings including winning an unaffilaited event.

Buddy is brilliant to hack. Good on the lanes and super safe in open countryside- he will happily go off on his own or in a group.

We have no knowldge that he has previously hunted, but he’s junped proper stuff in the countryside and is super sensible so im guessing he’d make an amazing hunter.

Buddy is absolutely brilliant to load, clip, travel etc.

Buddy would suit a younger or older person.

He is an absolutely top class allrounder that you will feel safe on and be proud to be seen on.

  • Unbelievably easy to handle, including for inexperienced hands; the yard favourite by some distance

  • Does not need riding every day to perform at the weekend; a real head turner at shows

Looking for a 128 that has done the Pony Club years, been hunting, gone cross country, and has only now, at ten, decided that show jumping might be her thing? Bella has, and she is rather good at it. She is currently popping around 80 cm courses with ease and has the scope to go higher.

A sporty Cob cross mare, she has spent her life doing a bit of everything and has recently started show jumping, where she is currently an under 10 pony with plenty of scope in hand for bigger classes when her rider wants them.

She is a real head turner and is the pony every child asks to ride, and the one we are happiest to hand to the least experienced of them when they ask to help. Bella is unbelievably easy to handle on the ground and sensible under saddle and will happily hack alone or in company. She does not need riding every day to go well at the weekend, which matters in a house with school, homework, a frantic family life and English weather... She also has bundles of character and turns heads with her striking markings as soon as she steps off the trailer.

Who is she for? An under 10 rider, or a child who has outgrown a very first pony and now wants a pony they can actually compete on. She is not a pony that will need a professional to keep her sweet during the week; she is a pony for a family who want to do a bit of everything and have a chance of winning as well.

Vaccinations, teeth and shoeing etc are up to date and she has no veterinary issues.

She is ready to bring huge smiles to her next jockey and provide hours of joy happiness.

Bella has recently passed a 5 stage vetting

Redlays Theseus – Cradle stakes, junior 122cm and SHP

2013 Welsh Section B gelding 13 years old

This is a heartbreaking sale of our beautiful Theo as my daughter won’t stop growing after 3 wonderful years together. I was hoping my son would take over the reins but he would like to focus more on show jumping, so we are looking for a 128cm pony.

Theo has been the pony that has first introduced my daughter to the affiliated circuit. Although he has had a very successful career as a SHP and we have thoroughly enjoyed these classes with him, we have concentrated the last 2 seasons on teaching him to jump and starting his journey as a working hunter pony! This is something he loves to do and we would like him to continue with this with his next jockey! He is a fantastic Cradle and Junior 122cm workers pony and his best is still yet to come in these classes

At home, Theo is a kind, affectionate pony who enjoys attention. He has been ridden by both my children since they were 7 and 8 years old. He is a pony who knows his job and enjoys his work.

Show record

* HOYS winner as a shp 2021 and 2023

* RIHS winner x 2

2024 –

* Blue Riband winner

* 3rd – RIHS

* 8th – HOYS

* 2nd – London International Performance Pony

2025

* 7th – RIHS 122cm SHP

* Qualified first time out for London International on flat and workers

* 10th – London International Cradle

* 7th – London International Performance Pony

2026

* Qualified first time out for the RIHS Cradle class

Unfortunately we have been unable to run him in the London cradle class this year due to a connection with this years judge

Theo has also jumped clear and achieved good placings in the handful of m&m Junior 122cm HOYS qualifiers we have contested over the last couple of seasons. He is still a fresh face in these classes as we have always ran another pony in this class so he has not been over campaigned. I do feel he has another big win in him yet especially in the new RI cradle class!

Theo absolutely thrives off jumping and loves his job, he is brave and so willing and has been a pleasure to have over the last 3 years!

He is good to bath, clip, catch, load and with the farrier.

Please no time wasters or photo collectors.

Smartie – The Ultimate First Pony

Smartie is the quietest, kindest and most sensible little pony you could ever wish to meet. She is exceptionally safe, both under saddle and on the ground, making her the perfect first pony both on and off the lead rein.

She will happily walk, trot and canter beautifully on the lead rein for children taking their very first steps into riding. Off the lead rein, she is equally happy carrying riders who are holding the saddle handle while building confidence, as well as those riding independently. She truly has a young body with an old head on her shoulders. She is never spooky, sharp, strong or silly and always takes wonderful care of her riders.

Over the past 2.5 years Smartie has worked in a professional riding school where she has safely taught hundreds of children, from tiny tots aged just two years old through to more established young riders. She has patiently introduced countless children to walk, trot, canter and their very first jumps.

She has three beautifully balanced, steady paces and responds exceptionally well to the voice, allowing beginners who are still holding the saddle handle to be guided confidently without needing rein contact.

Smartie has never bolted, reared, bucked. She is not strong, pulley or forward going, she goes wherever you ask calmly and sensibly, she has more whoa than go, making her a lovely, reassuring ride for someone just starting out or building their confidence. However, when ridden by a more experienced jockey, she will happily step up a gear and become more responsive and forward when asked.

She is an incredibly genuine, sensible mare who adapts beautifully to the ability and confidence of her rider.

She truly is every child’s dream pony, with the most adorable little face that you simply can’t help but fall in love with.

She waits patiently in group lessons for her turn, is equally well behaved in private lessons, and has taken part in our in-house competitions including Lead Rein classes, Handy Pony, Fancy Dress and Pony Club rallies.

She has a lovely snaffle mouth and requires no gadgets.

Smartie will happily be lead around the yard by the tiniest of tots without pulling or being strong, allowing even the youngest children to confidently catch her from the field, groom her, pick out her feet, and care for her safely. she stands quietly to be groomed, bathed and fussed over, she will happily stand in her stable with the door open and not try and come out, will equally stand at a mounting block without move for as long needed, she is super chilled, quiet and easy to handle.

She is a firm favourite during our stable management courses and therapy sessions.

Smartie is exceptional out hacking. She is completely unfazed by heavy, fast-moving traffic and has seen everything from articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors and trailers to motorbikes, bicycles, prams, trolleys and dogs — absolutely nothing fazes her.

She hacks confidently both alone and in company, happily leading or following. She is never strong, nappy or silly and is perfectly content to stay at the back of the ride without trying to overtake, race or be silly in any way, she maintains in her pace and place even in a large group hack.

In open spaces she remains calm, relaxed and sensible. If the other horses canter away, Smartie is more than happy to stay behind with her rider, and she will patiently wait if the others return home ahead of her.

Smartie enjoys jumping and will happily pop a small course of coloured or rustic fences, both on and off the lead rein, always giving her rider confidence.

She is excellent to catch, load, travel, shoe / feet paired, and stands perfectly for the dentist, farrier and vet. She loads first time, every time, travels impeccably and is an absolute pleasure to take out and about. Smartie is currently barefoot as she has very strong healthy hooves, she is equally happy to be shoed.

Smartie has recently passed our annual Riding School Licence inspection, carried out by a veterinary surgeon, which is comparable to a Stage 2 vetting.

During the entire time we have owned her, she has never been sick, lame, suffered from colic or required any time off through injury or illness. She is fit, healthy and in excellent condition, with no sarcoids, sweet itch, laminitis, lumps or bumps. Smartie is a substantial build with most definitely I leg in each corner, she has never suffered from laminitis.

She is wonderfully low maintenance and doesn’t need riding every day. She can happily have four weeks off and return to work exactly as she left it, without any fuss or freshness.

She currently works four days a week in our riding school and thoroughly enjoys her job.

We have several horses and ponies available for viewing.

Smartie has a very simple routine and is incredibly easy to keep. She has a basic diet of haylage when stabled and grass when turned out. She currently lives in a mixed herd of 25 horses, is stabled during the day when working and turned out overnight.

Equally, she would be perfectly happy living out full-time or being stabled full-time. She is not clingy and is equally content living or turning out on her own if required.

Smartie is only available because we regularly rotate our riding school horses after around 18 months - two years. We strongly believe these wonderful ponies deserve the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one family home where they receive individual attention, more variety and plenty of fun adventures. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

They work incredibly hard teaching children and give so much of themselves every single day, so we feel they deserve the very best next chapter.

Whoever is lucky enough to buy Smartie will not just be purchasing a pony — they will be gaining a kind, genuine and utterly trustworthy family member who will give a child years of confidence, fun and unforgettable memories.

If you are GENUINELY interested, please CALL or WhatsApp me.

13.3hh Welsh gelding 19years young. Absolutely beautiful pony, with cheeky and loving personality. Very striking, and always get stopped to admire how pretty he is!

Loves to jump - never says no, and will jump off any stride. Will easily jump the moon, but due to his age, would suggest he is best jumping courses 60-70cms. Although amazing at chase me Charlie!

Very well schooled and would do a beautiful dressage test.

Been to NSEA championships at Hickstead numerous years. Done heaps of pony club camps, rallies, sponsored rides, hunting, working hunter, gymkhanas, beach rides, drill rides etc.

Loads and travels perfectly in trailer and lorry.

Happy living out 24/7 or stabled.

Very easy to keep/handle.

Has been on parade and did a “meet and greet” at the polo in front of hundreds of people, and behaved impeccably.

Very sad sale as my son has sadly lost interest. But pony really deserves to be out having fun with the next child and teaching them the ropes.

Up to date with teeth/back/vaccs etc.

SCHOOL MASTER FEI EVENT PONY

  • Same home for the past 5 years

  • Long listed for pony europeans 2024
  • Same home for the past 5 years

Mickey is an honest, brave and confidence giving event pony. He loves his job and is now ready to show a younger child the ropes of eventing.

He has been an absolute pony of a lifetime for both my daughters for the past 5 years. He took my eldest daughter from 80cm to novice in their first season together, with many wins and top 10 placings along the way. They were then long listed for pony europeans in 2024. Unfortunately my daughter became very tall cutting her pony years short a year early than we hoped. He was then handed down to my youngest daughter who has had an equal amount of fantastic results over the past few years, but again her recent growth spurt has also cut her time on ponies short.

Mickey knows his job inside and out, he is honest and straight forward. He is beautiful on the flat and is very rarely out of the top 3 after dressage. When he enters the start box I know he will always try his hardest and bring them home safely, and as a mum that's meant so much.

Mickey has no vices at all, he is the easiest pony to look after. Very easy to clip, load, travel, shoe etc.

To us he has been his worth his weight in gold and will be the hardest goodbye, but he's now outgrown and needs to find his next jockey to have as much fun as we have had.

This pony means the world to us and his previous owner and is looking for the very best of homes, so serious enquiries only. please.

PJ is the ultimate Lead Rein pony. He will happily take the tiniest tot, look after them every step of the way and give them confidence, while still having the quality and presence required to compete at the very top.

He is:

⭐ Good to shoe
