  • Beautifully behaved
  • Never put a hoof wrong
Honey is a 12h riding 20 year old Welsh B mare. We have had Honey for almost 4 years and during that time she has taught my daughter, and then my niece, to ride going from the very basics on lead rein to competing in dressage and show jumping. Great to hack out along or in company.

Honey is always in the ribbons and is the most genuine, trustworthy and special LRFR pony you could ask for. A true mother’s dream who knows her job and looks after her little jockey at all times. Definitely more kick than pull, Honey has the right temperament for any young one wanting to ride.

Honey has never been sick or sorry. She comes with tack (including an English Saddle Company saddle made for her) and a full wardrobe of rugs. She lives out in the day and in at night, and will stand for hours so long as she has hay. Honey loads perfectly, is great with the vet and dentist, and is a dream to clip.

Whilst we have thought about keeping Honey, the truth is we have no jockey for her and she has so much more to give and little people to teach. A good home is a priority for this gorgeous, one in a million mare . We are really looking looking for a home with a tiny jockey looking to start their riding journey, learning the basics and moving on to catering confidently or a small child wanting to do dressage. My daughter has ridden Honey in Intro tests and got scores ranging between 64 and 67.

These sorts of jobs are what Honey is best suited to and where she really excels.

I have had this pony since weaned. I bought him unhandled and feral.

He was introduced slowly to his new life, spending the first 12/18 months halter breaking and handling him, progressing on to daily turnout.

Then after all that training he has then been turned out to eat and grow.

He has a lovely temperament and would make a fantastic child’s pony in time or if kept entire a nice stallion.

He is from good breeding lines and has the most beautiful head.

He is fully up to date with vaccinations and feet.

Pentrefelin Sandman – 11hh Welsh Sec A Gelding 

  • TA5 2BA | £7,950 ONO
  • Much-loved, talented & ready for his next adventure

Meet Stan – our gorgeous 8-year-old buckskin Welsh A gelding, who has been with us for the last 4 years as an exceptional lead rein pony.

Sadly, as my daughter looks to move off the lead, we feel she’s not quite the right match to bring him on as a first ridden, and it’s time for this special boy to find the right jockey.

  • Lead Rein Superstar + Jumping Talent
  • Been shown locally with lovely results
  • Attended 2x PC Mini Summer Camps + 2x Easter Camps
  • Done Pony Club rallies, hacking, games training
  • Bold jumper – comfortably clearing 60/70cm with ease
  • Has scope and presence to make a fab Cradle Stakes or MG pony

Recently ridden by a 6-year-old at Chard – no bucks, just a moment of hesitation when pretending to poo! Otherwise, totally genuine and admired by everyone.

Honest Notes:
He’s just started testing slightly in transitions to canter with our tiny, less experienced jockey – the odd cheeky buck/ Cow kick, nothing nasty – but too much for a petite rider still finding her seat. With a more confident, slightly older child, he would thrive.

What makes Stan special?

  • Beautiful paces and clean limbs
  • Super bold jumper
  • Brilliant to hack – alone or in company
  • Loves attention – will stand for hours to be pampered
  • Barefoot, great for farrier
  • Lives in or out, mares or geldings (but likes to be boss!)

This is a very sad sale of a true poppet, who would excel in the right home – as a last year FR, MG, hunting, or jumping pony. He has so much potential and just needs the right child to unlock it.

12.1hh, 9 year old, welsh part bred mare.

Bella is the perfect lead rein pony, she has been out to pony club and is a dream to hack. She is good to do in all ways and can easily be handled by children.

Bella does come off the lead rein but she is not a first ridden, she needs a confident rider as she can be difficult to get going forwards. However she will happily ride off lead out hacking and is great in heavy traffic.

Bella also has the potential to be a very good driving pony and she can be broken to drive for an additional cost.

No known health issues, up to date with vaccinations, open to viewing and vetting. Comes with full tack and wardrobe, please pm us for more details. Based Hampshire.

  • Perfect as a lead rein pony – he’s calm, kind and steady for little ones
  • Super all-rounder with heaps of potential

Buddy is full of character – a little quirky, sometimes stubborn, but always loveable. He needs a confident and capable rider who can keep him focused and working otherwise he can take the mick, nothing dangerous just stubborn and occasionally naps. To hack, he’s great in company but sometimes needs reassurance if he’s on his own. As my daughter’s only 12 I’ve always been on foot and he’s been great. Brilliant with traffic but may have a look if something looks out of place. Again nothing dangerous but just needs reassurance and confidence.

That being said he is perfect as a lead rein pony – he’s calm, kind and steady for little ones and will happily follow his leader. His ideal home would be with a small child with an older sibling or a petite parent who can continue his education.

He’s a super all-rounder with heaps of potential in the right hands. He would definitely excel in the showing ring due to his dashing looks and has proven to be successful in-hand as a youngster. This is a very sad sale due to his rider having outgrown him and we have purchased her next horse.

Buddy deserves a fun, active home where he’ll be kept busy and loved. He will stand for hours with a haynet to be pampered.

Buddy prefers to be in a field with others but will settle if others are out around him.

He can be a little strong for the grass at times when leading him out, I’ve found a rope halter is more than adequate to correct this behaviour and my 12 year old is more than capable of leading him and out from the field.

Excellent to bath, groom, shoe (front feet only) and load.

Comes with saddle pads,saddle (brand new 2 years ago),bridle and rugs.

Finding Buddy the best of homes is the most important part of this sale. Not suitable for a novice unless on the lead reign. Open to vetting.

Well bred standard Shetland black gelding 41 inches (ish) hasn’t been officially measured.

Hector is 4 years old so still relatively green but has done basic work both on and off the lead rein and is showing great potential. He will make a fabulous all rounder with the looks and conformation to go far.

He has been handled daily by a very young child and has put up happily with all that it entails being loved by a little girl including the fancy dress outfits ranging from being lead by a shark to being flapped at and never offered to think of it as being anything other than normal.

Is fabulous for all the daily life tasks including travelling, feet, clipping and being stabled.

Hector has all the makings of fabulous pony and now just needs bringing on to reach his full potential would be a great Shetland grand national prospect, workers or showing or just simply a child’s best friend.

Hector has lived at home on the Isle of Man for last few years with us but is now at a yard in Cumbria.

Crystal is a very well mannered pony that loves to give confidence and have fun, she is safe under saddle in all 3 of her paces.

She’s well behaved and will hack out alone or in company she is safe with all traffic for example: motorbikes,cars,lorries and farm machinery.

On the ground she is safe to do anything and will stand all day long to be loved and fussed. she’s good to bath,lead, clip.

Loads and travels well too.

She would suit being a first pony as in her past she was a lead reign for a small child, she is brilliant to ride in the ménage and have someone to lead her too.

We have taken her to local shows and always coming back with ribbons, she has had her first season out hunting and she has been very sensible out with the hounds.

She has also proven to be bombproof and nothing phases her even at her age, she will stand to let you open and close gates on her, walk over tarpaulin and raised platforms etc.

She has been ridden by adults,teenagers and small children and has been very safe with all of them. You can get on her from off the floor and she will stand still and she also stands very nicely at the mountain block and won’t walk off untill you ask her too.

She is worth her weight in gold and is unfortunately for sale due to my daughter out growing her and needing something bigger to progress on.

Fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic pony for anyone to build up their confidence, learn to ride and continue to progress on.
Definitely a 1st and 2nd pony.

She really is a true kids pony who looks after the smallest of riders, she is currently in the riding school teaching children to ride, from complete beginners up to riders who can walk, trot, canter and jump.


She has done all flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when she first started her riding school career.

Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and has brilliant manners enabling the tiniest tot to handle her safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed, bathed and pampered.

She has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy schoolmistress, with no ifs or buts.

One in a million family pony mum/daughter share

A real 'been there and seen it and done it' type of best friend.

13.2 traditional Irish cob mare.

15 years old. Passported and vaccinated, can be barefoot or shod and worming etc up to date.

Recently, she has earned her keep and taught various types of rider to ride in a riding school environment. She has also been ridden by just one rider to build her confidence and introduce her to jumping courses. She has been used for a range of riders from lead rein beginners to better riders in an arena and children and small adults out hacking. She has done all pony club activities and local shows. Very sadly now she is for sale.

She is the ultimate happy hack, good in open spaces and in traffic. She is divine to hack alone and would suit a mum to potter about and enjoy the peace and quiet in the week and children to have fun on at the weekend. She doesn't mind fancy dress, dogs, kids etc. she absolutely loves to go mini SJ and XC but isn't the athletic type and would rather stick to not having to leave the ground by too much and obstacles under 60 cm! She will give things a go and is an intro to competing type, not a competition pony.

That said she is more off the leg than a total kick along. She's not whizzy but is a kind willing person and will happily go faster when asked.

She enjoys the beach and is brave enough to swim if you are! She'll happily stick to the sand or have a paddle and equally will have a canter if asked.

She had a very good grounding, starting her life in Ireland with a family being ridden and driven through all sorts of traffic and a busy town and built up area.

She is just the most biddable, loving people-person who deserves THE very best of homes.

She's not going to ever be the fastest, the most glamorous, the most sporty or the most athletic pony but she would be one of the kindest and most reliable.

Please no timewasters and only the kindest and most loving homes need apply.

Open to sensible negotiation if you can tick the boxes for providing her with a home fit for the princess she is.

Seen at livery.

Previously competed at high level in M&M Lead Rein, including winning at Kent County and placing 1st out of 18 in the 2018 NPS M&M Lead Rein

Would do a lovely dressage test – beautifully balanced and willing

Easy to catch and tack up – even by children under 9

Turns out with mares or geldings

Can be turned away for weeks and comes back exactly the same

Travels well and stands quietly on the trailer alone

Baths, clips, loads, behaves impeccably

Fun rides, local shows – nothing phases her

Great with children on the ground and under saddle – she totally looks after them

Up to date with vaccinations and farrier

Unshod and has excellent feet

We’re looking for a new home for JoJo as our children are now keen to do more jumping, which isn’t something she enjoys. Jumping is simply not her thing, and she would suit a home looking for a safe, fun lead rein or first ridden pony without the pressure to jump.

JoJo is truly a dream pony. She will teach your children to ride and to have the confidence to go on to their next chapter. She’s gentle, safe, and full of personality – the type of pony every child deserves to start on.

A rare opportunity to buy a true child’s Schoolmistress. Worth her weight in gold. Top home is priority. No loans or trials.

Previous owners are happy to provide a reference.

Only available to a 5 Star home where she’ll be loved and appreciated like she is here.

Located in Horsham - 07944 743693

Photos and videos available on request

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.

Super Safe and Fun First Pony – Ziggy

Ziggy is a true little superstar with the kindest nature and the most genuine temperament you could hope to find. Over the past year, he has transformed a very nervous rider—who at times didn’t want to ride at all—into a confident child now jumping at shows and bringing home placings.

He is a fantastic, reliable hack—happy to go out alone or in company, always steady and safe, even with the tiniest of jockeys. Ziggy is equally happy to ride and lead, wait patiently while others canter off, or join in the fun himself. He’s 100% safe in open spaces, on roads, and even loves a beach ride.

Ziggy is light in the hand, never strong, and happily ridden in a straight bar happy mouth. He’s an ideal confidence-giver, taking the smallest riders from their first trots and canters off the lunge to popping around a course of jumps in a rhythmical, balanced way. He’s currently confidently jumping up to 60cm and will jump any XC fence asked of him. He’s attended Pony Club camps and rallies and always behaves impeccably.

On the ground, Ziggy is a total gem—easy to catch, groom, tack up, and lead. Children can do everything with him. He’s excellent to load and travel, has always been barefoot, and is good to clip (just requires sedation for his legs).

Ziggy is now looking for his next little best friend—someone coming off the lead rein or just starting to ride independently. He will gently build their confidence until they’re cantering around the fields in no time. He has been ridden by children of all ages and sizes and always takes care of his rider. He may occasionally put in a cheeky, harmless buck with a bigger rider—but nothing that would unnerve a confident child.

This is an extremely sad sale of a much-loved but now outgrown pony. Serious enquiries only, please—Ziggy means the world to us.

Tack and rugs available by separate negotiation.
