Perfect Porcha


Ref #: 398953

  • Allrounder
£5,000
  • Welsh Section B
  • Chestnut

  • 21 years
  • 13 hands
  • Bombproof
  • Mothers dream
  • Allrounder

Porcha is every mother’s dream pony. We purchased Porcha to teach our youngest child to ride from a complete novice.

Porcha has given our daughter experience and confidence in her riding with hacking, hunting and show jumping .

Porcha is a dream to be around both riding and on the ground, often taking the lead out on hacks for less confident horses and riders.

Kind natured and straight forward and always a firm yard favourite. Easy to load, clip, for the dentist and with the farrier.

Don’t be put off by her age as she is showing no signs of slowing down and has plenty left to give.


Beautiful active allrounder


Ref #: 391828
  • Wonderful temperament, great with children and adults alike.

  • Genuine schoolmaster, ideal for young teenager that she can help step-up.
  • Great to hack, loves to jump and enjoys flatwork.

Stepol Northern Dancer “DANCER”, beautiful bay 14.2hh allrounder, Welsh section D mare who loves to be active. 16 years’ old and a genuine schoolmaster, she is great with children of all ages and adults alike but would thrive with a young teenager that she can help step up. She is easy to groom and tack-up with an excellent temperament, great to hack either alone or in company, is good around cars, and loves to jump up to 1m comfortably and has occasionally jumped up to 1m20 single fences. She enjoys flatwork but does not have much experience in dressage, however, would make for a beautiful dressage pony.

She is good to travel, but can sometimes be reluctant to load if she doesn’t travel regularly or isn’t familiar with box/trailer. She has been to multiple farm rides, non affiliated show jumping competitions, cross country events, arena hires and gallops and has thrived in all areas. She is not strong and has exceptionally good breaks so is only ridden in a snaffle with no flash required. She was also previously part of a Pony Club at a riding school.

For the last couple of years, Dancer has generally only been ridden for non-competitive pleasure but can easily be brought back up to a competing level.

She was bought for 11-year-old daughter and has done well with her for the 5 years we have owned her, only deciding to sell due to a change in circumstances and time commitments. Dancer is a low maintenance pony, who typically lives out from March through to the end of October with no issues. She prefers life living out and only gets brought in at night during the winter months due to requirements of the livery she is on now but would be happy to live out all year round.

She has never bucked, reared, or kicked people during our ownership, however, does experience mild crib biting after she is given treats or is in the stable for prolonged periods, no health issues have been identified by her vet.

An absolutely wonderful pony ideal for first time or experienced owners alike.

• Vaccinations and worming up to date
• Microchipped
• Good to clip (has been in winter for past 3 years)
• Good to shoe (every 6 weeks and only has front 2 on currently)

  • Genuine, kind, safe in all ways

With the revised heights being lowered for the upcoming Winter 2nd Round qualifiers, this pony has gone from merely knocking on the door of the Gold League classes to becoming a genuine contender.

The Absolute Wonderful Becca – 128cm Grey Welsh B Mare, 15yrs
Top Track SJ • HOYS WHP • Ultimate Schoolmistress

£35,000 owners very much looking to sale

Becca has taken both my girls from first steps to top level. The ultimate confidence-giver, equally happy teaching a tiny jockey or jumping big tracks.

*notes from myself- Forward but safe, she would perfectly suit a capable 10-and-under rider ready to step up to the bigger tracks. She never stops, always tries, and needs a child who can hold a contact only because she is forward and not kick kick. Currently ridden and jumped by Kiki, though Kiki isn’t quite big enough yet to sit up on her.

Highlights:
• JA, 1,338 points (BS 419380)
• Team Wales every year – WHPI 2025 Gold- Double Clear.
• Hickstead & Team England experience
• Multi Welsh Silver League Champion; 3rd Springboard Final
• HOYS 2025 133cm Plaited WHP – only clear at Stoneleigh, finished 12th at HOYS
• PC Dressage Champs finalist (8th), Evented to PC Champs
• Qualified Mini Majors at Olympia, LIHS & GYS (3 riders)
• Gone 3 rounds in HOYS qualifiers

Temperament & Ability:
Genuine, kind, safe in all ways. Jumps, WHP, dressage, eventing — loves every job. 100% to hack, shoe, clip, travel; perfect for kids to handle.

Home:
Full history known; comes with full wardrobe & M2M tack. Fit, sound, and won last weekend.

Vetting Transparency:
Small melanomas; mild hock changes (may need injections in future); previous splint surgery last year — fully recovered and performing brilliantly. Vet report available.

A true gold-dust pony. Serious enquiries only.

Top Class 148cm Irish Sports Horse Mare – Proven Foxhunter Winner including last weekend

Tori is a stunning 13-year-old Irish Sports Horse bay mare, standing on a lifetime 148cm measurement certificate. She is an incredibly scopey, careful and experienced competition pony with an outstanding record.

Just yesterday she won the Foxhunter at a recent show, ridden by a small 16-year-old girl, proving how genuine, rideable and competitive she is. Tori is exceptionally consistent and would be highly competitive at 90cm, 1m and 1.10m.

Competition Record Highlights:
• 826 BS points
• £1,770 in winnings
• Jumped Hickstead JC Final – placed 4th
• Multiple Foxhunter performances including a recent win

On the flat, Tori is very well schooled, balanced and established. She does have a bit of character and can be quirky, but with the correct rider she will be extremely competitive and will teach her rider an enormous amount.

She hacks out, though she does prefer company. In her past, she has also hunted regularly and proved herself to be an absolute machine over big hedges, even with a less experienced jockey—bold, brave and unstoppable in the field.

Breeding:
• Out of Harlequin Du Carel – excellent performance bloodlines.

This is a serious competition pony for a confident, competitive rider looking to move up the levels with a proven winner.

• Hacks well alone and in company
• Has enjoyed beach rides
• Lives out in summer; stabled at night in winter

  • Full up 148, JC, Mare, 13yrs
  • 349 points

Prosecco is an exceptional stamp of a pony bred for the top of the sport, she is a blood, forward competition pony standing at full up 148 with only 349 points.

Prosecco would be an incredible prospect for the Newcomer Second rounds, she has a big stride, competitive attitude and extremely careful jump.

She has consistently qualified for Bluechip and has also previously qualified Newcomer SRS, jumped to 1.20 and qualified Nationals jumping triple clear in the Discovery SRS, she also was one of only 6 clears in the Sapphire qualifier at Onley.

Prosecco is an absolute dream to do in all ways, she has no vices at all! Loads herself, perfect for farrier, physio, clip etc.

Stands all day to be groomed and fussed, the best pony to have at a show as she is so calm and sensible. She will stand where you leave her and not move until you tell her.

We have had so many compliments for her impeccable behaviour.

While she is a forward competition pony she is suitable for a more novice rider having had incredible results with a novice girl and taught a complete beginner the ropes however she can be strong jumping.

Would turn her hoof to anything having done XC, PC, SJ, fun rides, beach rides etc.

Not mareish at all, has NEVER bucked, reared, napped, kicked, bitten etc. Very sweet and cuddly, completely safe for the youngest of children and is regularly led out by my 7 year old brother.

She has been the pony of a lifetime for us and has taught myself and my sister the ropes of showjumping. She has made our childhood and is now ready to make another little persons dreams come true.

Passed a 5 stage vet in March 2023 with only one remark that doesn’t affect her. Open to any vet inspection.

Only for sale due to rider being out of ponies, this adored pony will ONLY go to a 10* home where we can keep in contact. Calls or messages welcome on 07535547702.

ABOUT NOBLESSE

This is the advert I never thought I would have to write. Noblesse has been the heartbeat of our pony world — the one who quietly teaches, patiently supports, and proudly carries her rider through every milestone. She has given confidence, joy, and countless memories, and letting her go is truly heartbreaking.
But her rider has now outgrown her, and she deserves to be someone else’s once-in-a-lifetime pony.

A beautifully trained, kind, naturally forward second pony, Noblesse is ideal for a child or teen ready to learn, progress, and ride correctly on something truly special.

EXPERIENCE & TRAINING

• Balanced, expressive, rhythmic paces
• Safe, reliable, and wonderfully uncomplicated
• The same kind, honest mare every day
Whether at shows, hacking, or in a busy warm-up, she looks after her rider without fail.

WHAT SHE GIVES THE RIDER

• Soft, elastic contact and beautiful rideability
• Forward but never sharp – perfect for a second pony
• Smooth, comfortable trot and balanced canter
• A generous, gentle, confidence-building temperament
• A true desire to teach and please
She is the pony who makes riders better — and braver.

TRANSPARENCY
• Needs light sedation for clipping – perfect once sedated
• Had a small sarcoid lasered 5 years ago
fully resolved, no further growth
• Does not do Show Jumping – excels in dressage, hacking, poles and flatwork
Otherwise, she is an easy, sound, straightforward pony in every way.


HER PERFECT HOME

A competent child, small teen, or petite adult stepping up from a first pony.
Someone who loves dressage, loves learning, and wants a beautifully trained, forward-thinking partner who is kind, safe, and wonderfully consistent.

FEI measured 148 schoolmaster - a pony who needs little introduction the legendary Rathlee Warrior.

The kindest pony with a heart of gold, very rarely home without a red rosette and has given his current jockey the most amazing season.

Originally purchased to get her confidence back after a tricky pony causing her to fall out of love with the sport, with only half a season left until she was out of juniors Ralph quickly fixed some big confidence issues and has won and won up to 1.20 level, before the rider had very little form at 1 metre and he managed to take her from this to top track level in a matter of months!

He jumped at every major summer pony prem this year and won every time out. We owe him so much for what he’s done with his current jockey, and really want to see him give another riders much joy as he has us!

Undoubtedly a great contender for Pony Showjumper classes next year, huge stride with a heart of gold and incredibly capable of getting back to HOYS 2026 - 5* home an absolute must and potential homes will be vetted, possibility of lease options.

Super sound and correct and such a gentleman to handle at home, requires zero veterinary maintenance!

Hundreds of videos and photos available, based in Hallingbury, Herts!


DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

Ref #: 249896
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below

One of the main issues that RDA groups face is finding an Equine to suit the needs of the participants in their group.

We are regularly contacted with offers of Equines that are ‘the ideal RDA horse or pony’ when actually what is ideal for one group may not be for the next. We are trying to move away from the stereotypical view that RDA Equines are elderly and somewhat static, our horses and ponies need to be fit, healthy and athletic to cope with the lifestyle in an RDA group.

They can range from smaller, forward going ponies to weight carrying cobs and can take part in a range of disciplines from Riding to Carriage Driving, Vaulting to Show Jumping and Endurance.

If you contact an RDA Group about your Equine please be prepared to fill in an Equine Initial Interest Form which will ask you many questions about your horses’ temperament, health history, experience and lifestyle. Many groups will prefer to have an equine on trial to make sure they are suitable for the job.

For long term loans and purchases they will also be required to have a Pre-Purchase Examination.

Has been on the qualifying team for pony club championships twice.
Jumps 90cms. Very easy ride, can move up on demand but not strong.

He is unbelievably quiet to shoe, clip or do anything with. Loves being pampered. No vices.
