  • Experienced family home
  • Offering a varied and fun life

We are looking for a superstar pony for our petite 8 year old (120cm) approx 11.2 - 12.2hh

He is walking, trotting and cantering off the lead and currently trotting small courses up to about 40cm.

We are looking for a kind, experienced pony who can hold his hand and help his confidence soar and safely take him out to competitions - primarily dressage and showjumping. Must know their job and not constantly test as the nerves can sometimes creep in.

Will have a varied life to include lessons, beach rides, farm picnic rides, hacking, NSEA and pony club.
Must go for little legs and be suitable for a child to handle.

We would love a true child’s best friend - the sort you can do fancy dress on at your local show, go to camp or stay aways without them getting unsettled and most importantly, something that enjoys lots of cuddles and kisses!

Some minor health conditions considered as long as disclosed and reflected in the price.

We are an experienced family home and have a younger sibling waiting in the wings, so would like something that we can treasure for many years.

Sensible budget.
Ideally located within 2 hours of Dorset

  • Very Bright Future Ahead
  • Excellent Breeding and A Top-Class Lead Rein Prospect

Welsh Section A Gelding – Rising 4yrs – approx. 11.2hh

An exciting young Welsh Section A gelding with a very bright future ahead. Calvin is a rising four-year-old with excellent breeding and the correct stamp for a top-class lead rein prospect for 2026 and beyond.

By Thistledown Lord of the Flies out of Rhydyfelin Star Jewel, he boasts fantastic bloodlines and is a quality, clean-limbed pony with a straight, flashy way of going and plenty of presence.

Calvin has a lovely temperament and is a genuine blank canvas, ready for someone to put their own stamp on him.

He is easy to handle, enjoys attention, and is good for the farrier, bathing, handling, turning in and out, and having his feet picked up. He is straightforward to have around the yard, turns out happily either alone or with others, and has no vices.

He was gelded in November 2025 and has been produced slowly and sensibly. He has been bitted and worn a bridle, leads up and trots in hand well, has been on the walker, and has been loose schooled. He has not been over-handled, which leaves him in an excellent position to now be taken on, ridden away, and started properly by his next home.

A very smart dapple grey with two equal hind white socks, Calvin is an eye-catching pony with quality and presence to match his breeding.

Only offered for sale due to a lack of a suitable lead rein jockey. A genuine opportunity to acquire a well-bred, unspoilt young pony with all the attributes to go on and shine.

Absolutely no time wasters or picture/video collectors, please.

Star is a phenomenal lead rein pony who wins everything from showing classes, WHP to showjumping classes.

She has also hunted on the lead rein and was foot perfect.

Off the lead at home and at shows she is very safe and sensible.

Happy to be lead from any horse.

She’s 100% in traffic, clipping, showing ect.

A much loved pony who is sadly out grown so will only go to the very best of homes.

Last show she went to, she won every class and then went reserve champion in the WHP.

Based at Keysoe International, Bedfordshire

118cm Dartmoor gelding. Harry had been a wonderful pony for my daughter but sadly she won’t stop growing so we’ve made the hard decision that he needs to find a new jockey to win sashes for.

Just missed qualifying for hoys last year by 1 mark at the last qualifier as we had only just collected him that week.

He knows his job well and thrives on it. Easily qualified RI and placed well in the few hoys he has done this year. He was 4th at hoys before we got him.

Never sick or sorry. No plugs or calmers. Great at big county shows in buzzy atmospheres.

He has won many sashes and supremes with us and would not be for sale if our daughter wasn’t as tall.

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.

From the successful Welsh pony breeders Waitwith Stud, Waitwith Jeneva has all the qualities to be the next star!

Recently backed and brought on, she is going beautifully on and off the lead rein in walk and trot and her canter is progressing well too.

She has only ever been ridden by children which is a testament to her temperament, they do not come more genuine than her.

Attended her first show for practice last weekend and was an absolute diamond, no lunging needed, she took every minute in her stride.

A true Barbie pony! Golden palomino with a bright white mane and tail. Excellent conformation and beautiful movement.

She has hacked out alone and in company and is sensible on the roads. She is the easiest pony to have around, she is quiet and straight forward, you could trust her around the smallest of children.

Lots of videos on request.

Buddy has been a play pony at home with his owners before coming to us .  He has done all the usual fun rides , beach trips , fancy dress days . 

We feel he could make a top draw LR SHP if trimmed out or could easily do the M&M class too .  He has exceptional limb and lovely short cannons . His movement is very rhythmical with not too much lift in the knee for a SHP. 

He does go off the lead but is green and although very steady would take further schooling for contending top level FR classes such as the new RIHS First pony of Hunter Type , which again would very much be Buddy’s class if he where to stay with us . 

We would be very happy to keep Buddy for his new family . He isn’t the “ finished product” for a top LR and is priced accordingly.
