Toby is a grey 14 year old 12.2 pony who we have absolutely enjoyed in every way.

Has been on the qualifying team for pony club championships twice, he’s almost a guaranteed clear. Jumps 90cms. Very easy ride, can move up on demand but not strong.

He’s unbelievably quiet to shoe, clip or do anything with. No vices.

Registered name is Toblyn.

Rider has sadly outgrown. First to try will want but has to be a 5 star home.

William is an experienced, brave, out and out winning machine schoolmaster. In the last 2 years he has competed up to 1.25 representing England Teams and competing at all major pony shows including HOYS.

William is a loyal, brave and genuine pony, he looks after his rider, knows his job and does it exceptionally well. Type of pony who leaves everyone smiling inside and outside of the ring.

He has exceptional flatwork with auto changes. He is an extremely talented pony and will excel in anything he does.
He is very well known on the circuit and on social media attracting attention for his incredible bravery, honesty but above all talent!

He has a big stride and is very intelligent allowing him to fix the stickest of situations.

He is extremely brave and will always find a way to clear a jump being naturally quick he is always in the placings.

A unique opportunity to purchase an out and out schoolmaster still in JC points.

William would be the perfect pony for a novice to teach them the ropes and bring them up the levels winning along the way.

He is practically unbeaten at 1.10, loves a jump off, bold and wants to win as much if not more than his rider.

Not your typical hot headed show jumper, he is calm and a pleasure to deal with, always perfect to catch, clip, shoe, physio etc. We clip him untied and he just falls asleep. Hacks out with the youngest of children alone or in company. Not stressy or silly.

We and everyone that has met him thinks the absolute world of this pony, he deserves and loving home where he can do what he loves without being pushed.
He is still in JC points for Fox but due to the size and distances of HOYS qualifiers we believe he is more suited to winning at Nationals, Teams, Bluechip, POYS etc.

Passed 5 stage vet 2023, NEVER lame, sick or sorry.

Very low mileage as only started jumping when he was 10.

Never bucks, rears, bolts, bites.

Lady is a much loved member of our family but she is now sadly outgrown. She has proven herself as an eventing type having qualified for JCB Eventing Champs (90cm) in August as well as coming 2nd at Go BE 90 at the South of Scotland Horse Trials in May.

Lady was placed 5th individually at Northern Regional Eventing Champs in 2024 and was a member of the winning team.

Qualified Barrier Spring Festival for Showjumping (2024) and Arena Eventing (2025), 80cm and 90cm respectively.

Easy to do, perfect to load and will happily walk on herself onto a trailer. Doesn't need a companion to travel and has travelled with others she doesn't know. Never bucked, reared or napped, just loves to please and is forward and forgiving over a fence. XC/jumping is by far her favourite thing to do however she can also do a nice dressage test. She is a very genuine mare, kind and loyal to her rider.

We live on a busy dairy farm and as a result she is used to cows, dogs and noisy machinery. She is often ridden in open fields and the beach and never tanks off.

Serious enquiries only, a 5* home is essential for this kind, honest pony. Videos available on request.

Thunder (Lightening 111) - Super BS Starter Pony. Many double clears on his record up to 1m.

Good Bronze League pony for a young rider or realistic Potential for Silver League with a more established jockey who can give him confidence and practice over the bigger tracks.

He has great scope and an excellent jumping technique and jumps out of an even stride and is loose behind. Really tucks his knees up and is neat. Very rarely touches a pole. Could go far in his jumping with the right partner and training but is not a top track pony.

We have not affiliated before but my 10 yrs daughter had 2 double clears at their first show, winning both. They followed that up with a win in the 70 again and a great round in the Stepping Stones. A rather over ambitious turn attempt in the jump off cost them the clear but we didn’t know that it wasn’t against the clock!

1m to 1.05 could be his sweet spot. He made light work of his first Springboards with an older rider. Proving he has scope for more. He just needs more mileage over the bigger fences, but it is all there.

Super for NSEA and pony club teams. Has been to Rectory Farm PC Regional Champs many times with previous owners ( 5 years) and apart from 1 mistake jumped clear around the Junior Tetrathlon XC course at JCB Champs in 2024.

We took him this year for the 70 cm where he jumped 3/3 lovely clears. Quick jump off pony although sadly my daughter’s sat nav error at the end of her jump off cost them a top 10 place out of hundreds.

Qualified individually Area Dressage. 2nd in his arena and won the warm up test. 2025 Hickstead.

Superb XC pony. Schooling sessions up to BE 90 fences with 10 yr old jockey. Super with water, ditches, drops, skinnies, corners.

Lovely to hack alone or in company on roads and open fields. Likes to be in front if in a group. Can have a little spook but doesn’t do anything bad. He enjoys life and is a very happy go lucky, fun chap.

Snaffle mouthed. Came with a universal but we rarely use it now.

Good to catch and turn out, loads and travels a dream. Good with vaccinations but fussy to worm.

Can be left alone or with company on the lorry or trailer. No fuss. Ties up on the yard perfectly and waits patiently.

Brilliant at PC Camp and Champs.

Good with farrier, he was successfully barefoot for 5 years before we got him but I wanted studs in for XC.

Sound, Fit and ready to go and teach his next small person in PC and schools jump/ dressage/ event / Tetrathlon teams or is ready for someone more ambitious to train him up to reach his full SJ potential.

Kilshane Lady Arizona

Welsh Section B

14 years old & 13hh

Full Breeding Recorded (Thistledown)

If you are looking for the perfect SECOND pony for your child to move on to then Arizona is the perfect choice !! Arizona has been my daughters dream pony for the last 5 years. She is looking for her perfect new home as she has very sadly outgrown.
Arizona is the ultimate schoolmaster she excel in cross country.

Arizona is a true Pony Club Pony - a pony of a LIFETIME !! She has done everything you can imagine. Pony Club rally’s, clinics, pony club camps, Show jumping, xc, Eventing, Dressage, Showing Classes, Games, Working Hunter.

She would make a fantastic SJI pony for a child starting off as she is fast and always very careful.

She hacks out on the buckle alone or in company and has done beach/forest rides and full up to date with all her vaccines 

She is a super jumper currently jumping 70-75 tracks with ease and could very easily go higher with the right rider.

All thought Ari is extremely willing and quite she would NOT be a 1st pony. She is forward off the leg, very honest and she does best with a well balanced rider with quiet hands. Ari LOVES her job but she is a speedy pony bringing home plenty of ribbons !! Arizona would be suited to a slightly older child age 10+ who has gained their confidence.

She is a dream to work with in hand and ridden. Travels extremely well and patiently will wait for her turn in the box. Would stand all day for the farrier . She loves attention and being brushed or bathed. She doesn’t mind living in or out.
Arizona is never mareish, you can leave her for a few weeks and she would still be the same as the last time you rode her. She has NEVER bucked, reared, napped or anything.
Open to vetting

This has been an extremely hard decision and she will only go to the best possible home
Serious enquiries only !!!
No time waster or people just looking a spin on a pony

We have been holding off from writing this advert as Frankie is a huge part of our family but is sadly outgrown and we need to find him his next little rider to love and make memories with.

Frankie has attended all pony club activities; showjumping, dressage, showing, mounted games, XC, pony club camp, beach rides.
Hacks alone and in company.
Goes front or last.

He was our daughters first pony and he given her so much confidence and taught us a family so much.

Frankie is always in the placings and is a real fan at our local shows. He's known for doing a great speed round when asked and loves a cheer from the crowd.

Hes currently competing at 70s and jumping up to a metre at home. We are conscious that our daughter is getting way too big for him currently.

He's bold at XC and brings a lot of confidence to our daughter.

Frankie is such a fun versatile pony that would be an asset to any pony club or a family that just want a pony to enjoy, teach your children and have lots of fun!

He's great to load, catch, clip and farrier.
Open to a vetting and home is very important to us as he is a huge part of our family.

Mordis Diamanto (Coby) is a stunning British Sports Pony x Arab, ideally suited for a teenager ready to step up to the Pony FEI International circuit.

Coby is an absolute pleasure to ride — he goes beautifully in a simple rubber snaffle and has a fantastic work ethic, always eager to please. His lateral work is a real highlight, which he performs with ease and natural talent. He also enjoys jumping for fun and confidently flys 80–90cm courses, showing plenty of boldness and bravery — he’s never refused a fence.

Around the yard, Coby is a firm favourite. He has no vices and is easy to handle in every way — whether it’s to rug, shoe, clip, or travel. He’s not overly fond of baths, but never naughty, just a bit of a fidget!

I’m selling Coby on behalf of his owner, who has had him for the past two years. The only reason for sale is that her daughter has gone off to university and has now outgrown ponies.

Please note: I am NOT a dealer.

Dorlyn Contessa

Dorlyn Contessa or ‘Tessa’ is a 10 yo Welsh Section B Mare. She is superbly bred for the show ring with excellent confirmation and a floaty step.

In the 4 years we have owned her, she has turned her hoof to everything. From Working Hunter, Eventing, Dressage, Showjumping, Showing theres nothing she has not seen!

She has three lovely paces on the flat. She is forward going however is very responsive and is snaffle mouthed in all phases.

She jumps for fun, never says no and is incredibly brave and careful. She has show jumped with ease up to 90cm however has the potential to go further. She loves cross country and eats up the ground. Loves water, ditches banks etc and never second guesses.

She has brought home countless Working Hunter and Showing sashes. With an amazing step and presence, we believe she would be a superb 133cm HOYS WH contender. She thrives off of the atmosphere in an evening performance and doesn’t need earplugs, calmers etc.

• NIF 133cm WHP of the year 2024

Ideal pony would be a smart WHP stamp who is politely responsive without being sharp or too forward. We are looking for a pony to enjoy pc activities, SJ, dressage, showing and plenty of hacking.

We can offer a kind and experienced long term home with our other ponies where pony would have a varied life and receive lots of love and attention from my three pony mad daughters.

We are looking for a special pony and have a realistic budget to reflect this.


THE ULTIMATE ROSETTE MACHINE – Talented 14hh Schoolmistress


Ref #: 387545
  • Experienced competition pony
  • Rosette machine
£26,000
  • TB x
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 16 years
  • 14 hands
  • Experienced competition pony
  • Rosette machine

Hebe Gebe (Hebe) is a stunning 14hh, 16-year-old bay Thoroughbred x Dartmoor mare who has been a much-loved part of our family for the past two years. In that time, she’s proven herself to be an absolute legend – especially in the showjumping ring yet will easily turn her hoof to other disciplines such as JWS, cross country and dressage however, she is 100% in her element when jumping.

Ridden by my 13-year-old daughter, Hebe is a truly forward pony and has been competing successfully at 70cm –1m. She absolutely lives for jumping – a true rosette machine who consistently places in the top three and is that pony everyone dreads coming up against.

She has an impressive competition record including:
• BSJA
• NSEA
• Pony Club
• Qualified and competed at BS Nationals where she represented North Yorkshire.

Hebe is a dream to handle on the ground, impeccable stable manners, easy to shoe, clip, load, and hack.

She’s got a kind and willing nature, but as she is a forward, experienced competition pony who knows her job, she is not suitable for a novice rider.

This is a very sad sale, and we are looking for a 5? home where she will continue to shine. Please, no time wasters – the right match is important to us.
Based in North Yorkshire

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

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

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.

If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below.
