REDUCED — Difficult advert to write as I was hoping to him through the novices but due to a never ending wait list for my clients I need to be realistic!

Rhydyfelin Star Of Merlin

Merlin is an absolute delight to have around, easy to handle in all ways and loves a cuddle! He oozes quality and there are not many old fashioned types like him about. With Thistledown lines through him..: He’ll make an excellent candidate for the fr/junior/cradles - would also trim up nicely as a SHP! I believe he would make it to the top in the right hands.

I brought him in a July as just sat on to produce for the open As . Since then he has attended two ridden shows (winning and taking reserve champ at his first one), and a few arena hires including showing promise over solid fences.

He has had several different aged jockeys on him proving safe each time and he is always eager to learn. Eventhough he is green he is never naughty or malicious and really does give his all in every situation.

Has jumped the odd small course at home and is proving willing into a fence.

Has only hacked out in company but leads or follows. Great in most traffic, can have a look at big machinery but doesn’t do anything silly.

Up to date with everything. Physio is happy to discuss him!

No known health issues or past injuries

Open to viewings and vettings - happy to keep here to produce @ Olivia Holmes Equestrian

Priestwood Rocstar (122cm SHP)
Horse of the year show champion 2021, 2023 & reserve champion 2025 in the Lead Rein SHP class. Rocky needs no introduction… 

Priestwood Rocstar has been one of the most outstanding Lead Rein Show Hunter Ponies of all time. Hoys champion with a huge fan club, admirers wherever he goes. A true show ring favourite who absolutely loves being out competing and in the thick of it.

For Season 26, Rocky is available to lease to contest the new First Pony of Hunter Type class — a class he has all the qualities for. Sadly as we have no jockey for this new class with Gray now out of this section. As Rocky thrives on competition, we feel this is the perfect opportunity for him to continue doing what he loves most. He’s too good to be a field ornament.

A very special, proven pony
A top class pony, he is to remain on his current yard in the North East/North Yorkshire area where he has been expertly produced for the last 6 years, the leaser would responsible for the show production fees.
Produced and overseen by top producer Sarah Newbould Emmerson Show Team

Please call for more information we have owned Roc for 6 years and know all there is to know about him .

  • Genuinely kind child's lead rein / first ridden pony
  • Great Showing Potential
  • Hacks alone and in company, good with traffic and tractors

Fifi is a very well bred section B Welsh pony. She is a beautiful, kind mare who moves well and could excel in the show ring either on a leadrein or as a first ridden pony. She has a good jump so might also do well in working hunter classes. We haven't done any showing with her because it's not what we enjoy the most.

She has been to pony club rallies, camp and a triathlon. She hacks out alone and in company with ponies and horses. We live on a farm so she is totally happy with big tractors, loose dogs and the general noise and chaos associated with a busy place. She will patiently tie-up on the yard to be pampered and is quiet enough to be ridden bareback - this is a pony who loves attention.

She is easy to do in every way. Our daughters go out to catch her and bring her in. She is easy to clip, load etc. and will be as quiet in the stable as she is on the yard. We have owned Fifi since she was 6 months old, so have her full veterinary history available.

Genuine reason for sale and only available to a 5* home. References will be sought from your vet and pony club DC.

Thistledown San Siro (Rocky) needs no introduction. He is without a doubt one of the most successful, genuine and consistent Welsh Section A’s in the country. His results speak for themselves and have been more than we could have ever dreamed of, winning HOYS and Royal International multiple times and taking 5 champions.

He has been the most amazing pony for us and a true rock for our family taking both children who had never competed at HOYS, from Lead Rein and First Ridden to the Junior and Open classes. Rocky is the ultimate schoolmaster, with the most amazing temperament. With us, Rocky has always been produced from home and solely by children, including when he went mini champion at HOYS 2023 with a young jockey and since then has taken another two children safely to RI and HOYS in the FR and one of the children to RI and HOYS this year in the juniors, without an adult to lunge/ride him.

This is such a difficult advert to write and as many people know, he is a huge part of our family and truly loved. However, he is only 15 and we would prefer him not to spend the rest of his days unridden in the field. He loves the varied life we give him on the farm and is used to farm animals and machinery. Rocky enjoys competing, hacking around the farm, pole work, and even mounted games! We have always treated Rocky as a fun pony and the children have shared him taking part in different classes at the shows where he has often gone from opens, to juniors to first ridden and vice versa, with a quick change of jockey and bridle. Rocky has also taken part in the working hunter classes winning the novice M&M cradle stakes and open M&M cradle stakes at the BSPS Summer Championships as well as narrowly missing qualifying for the Junior M&M WHP at HOYS.However, we would prefer him to only compete in flat classes now.

He has had countless Supremes, Champions and wins including winning most of the major county shows in either FR, Juniors, or Open A’s. Rocky has the most beautiful head, movement and lots of bone, being a true stamp of a Welsh Section A . He has enabled our daughter to win the Black Country Saddles Rider of the Year in 2020 and our son to be selected for the final of Showman of the Year in 2022 , as well as being nominated for the Showing World Awards Native Pony of the Year in 2022 and 2023.

We would like to lease Rocky with a view to a possible sale in the future, only to a suitable home.

We would love another child to have the opportunity to have the treasured and amazing memories Rocky has given us.
