  • Full History Known

Alfie is a 12.2 11 year old cob

We have known Alfie for the last 4 years and have good contact from where he was before. Alfie taught my daughter to ride from the age of 5 and got her ready to ride BS on her new pony. We then sold him 2 years ago and he’s just taught his latest jokey the ropes, when they tried him she couldn’t even rise to the trot. He is currently back with me to be sold to his next jokey on behalf of his current owner.

Alfie has 3 established paces. He’s more kick than pull. He is the most safest boy that you could put your child on and let go of, he literally won’t go anywhere he’s not asked.

On the yard - Alfie is the best horse to be around, will stand tied up for hours to be groomed by the children, will have all his feet picked out by them too. He is handled by children daily. Alfie can pull a face when he has his feed, he’s never done anything but we leave him be when he’s eating.

Hacking - Alfie is the best hacking pony. He won’t catch up without being asked, just plods along at the back. He is good in open spaces and is hacked along a main A road and is great with traffic. He has done pony camp hacks and beach rides too with lots of horses for company and he’s been amazing! Never gets exited or silly.

Cross Country - Alfie was put on this earth to take your children cross country for the first time, nothing bothers him. Will go up and down steps ditches, you name it he’s done it. He is just a really good boy.

Jumping - Alfie will jump up to 50cm. He really does try but isn’t the mot natural jumper. He will knock a pole. He will always get your children from the first jump to the last but if he’s taken in on a line where it shouldnt work he will always go he just may have the pole down at the same time.

Schooling - Alfie is more kick than pull. He will happily go around the outside track all day. Both children that have owned him have hd their first ever off lead rein canters on him. He will also canter on the lead rein if he’s asked.

Pony Club - Alfie has done lots of pony club rally’s. Mounted games, show jumping. You name it he’s done it. He’s also done lots of stay away shows and is great in every way.

Lead Rein - Alfie will go on the lead rein when asked and will also go on the lunge to be ridden walk and trot. He’s is super safe, but his job in life is to be a first ridden not a lead rein pony. But will equally do both jobs.

Vaccinations, farrier, teeth and physio all up to date.

All in all Alfie is the best pony in the world to start your kids off. And will always have a job teaching new kids.

Lots and lots of videos on request. Please message me on WhatsApp for these 07825685127.

We are very lucky to of stayed in contact with the owners and are gladly selling him on again. We would all like to stay in contact with his new owners when he goes also. First person to try him will buy him because he is so good.

This handsome chap is called ‘Flash’. He is a Rising 3 years old Colt of whom we’ve had from Birth. His Mum is our 13.2hh Coloured Cob Cross, and his Dad is a 14.3hh Lemon & White Cob. We put Mum in Foal in hopes to have something bigger than herself, but unfortunately Flash is not going to make the 14hh we would have liked.

Flash has been raised on our Family Smallholding and is extremely well handled.

He is currently standing 12.2/12.3hh but is still growing and very bum high. I would personally say he’s going to make 13.2hh.

Whilst he is a Colt, he is very quiet and takes everything in his stride. Nothing fazes him!

He is used to living in or out. With Mares & Geldings. He is good to load and travel, good with the Farrier (only ever been trimmed), good with the Dentist (last seen 24th April 2025), good to catch even from the biggest of Fields, will stand all day long to be groomed. Is not fazed with being washed out (even with a Jet Wash).

He’s up to date with Wormer.

He has been bitted up with a standard Snaffle. He is currently being long reined and has had tack fitted to him, and again not bothered in the slightest.

He is currently learning all via voice commands. Walk on, Stand, Trot on, Whoa, all the basics really. He has very very good manners.

Has never bitten, kicked or bucked. Honestly this Pony has no vices whatsoever.

He is going to make some little child very happy. He will make a stunning lead rein pony, first time pony, showing pony.

This is going to be an extremely hard sale and he will NOT just be going to anyone.

Please only enquire if you are genuine and NO dealers.

Videos available and viewings welcome.

  • Gentle & confident nature
  • Great potential as future lead rein or child's pony
  • Thrives on human interaction

Rosie is a delightful 3-year-old black cob mare standing at approximately 12.1hh. Recently weaned from her foal, she has settled beautifully into her current environment and is showing all the qualities of a wonderful project pony. With her gentle and confident nature,

Rosie thrives on human interaction and enjoys spending time with her handlers.

She is excellent to catch, leads well with a soft response to pressure, and is happy to be groomed all over, including her mane, tail, and feathered legs. Rosie is good with the vet and farrier. She’s currently living out 24/7 in a herd of mares but is happy to part stable and has previously lived in a mixed herd.

Rosie is an unbacked pony and is available for adoption as a project. With her calm temperament and promising foundation, she could have potential as a child's lead rein or ridden pony in the future, with appropriate training and development. She’s looking for a committed and experienced home that can help her flourish into the lovely pony she is destined to be.

*please read the full advert before contacting me, she will only be sold to a genuine forever home looking for a companion*

12 years old piebald traditional cob mare. 12.2hh

She has a passport and microchip, she is fully vaccinated for flu and tetanus.

She is up to date with teeth, farrier, worming and worm counts.

I rescued her nearly two years ago with a young foal at foot, she had clearly had a hard life when I found her but is now unrecognisable from the horse that came to me.

She is an absolute sweetheart and loves a fuss, she would stand all day to be groomed and just be with you.

I believe she has ridden and driven in the past. I have been working with her under saddle for some time in walk and she is growing in confidence but unfortunately I am too tall for her (I am 5ft10) to progress her ridden work further. My niece who is a complete beginner has ridden her on the lead rein, she was a little unsure to start but did settle. Her nervousness under saddle is linked to abuse in her previous life before she found me and as much as she could become a lovely riding pony with the right person I really do feel in my heart of hearts that she would be happiest as a companion and pet.

She is very well mannered and good to handle. She happily lives in or out. I won’t sell her unseen and homes will be vetted. She deserves to find her forever where she will be safe and loved for the rest of her days and she won’t leave me until I find that for her, I am in no rush at all.

ONLY contact me if you are genuinely looking for a companion and pet.

NO dealers, NO time wasters, NO day dreamers, NO cheap project seekers, NO riding schools, NO loans, NO payment plans.

Forever homes ONLY please.

Serious enquiries ONLY

I am very busy right now so please message me not call, calls can be scheduled if I feel you are a potential match.

Darcey is a very friendly cob mare, once she gets to know you she’ll be your best friend, she loves a good fuss and is always coming up to me in the field and when being caught, good for farrier, and loading.

said to have been driven in the past but we have not tried this ourselves otherwise she is a good little riding pony.

She is a project for someone to bring on a bit more with her jumping and fitness but this little mare has the right brain and attitude to continue her education. She would be suitable for a confident adult or child as she can be occasionally spooky or bolshy in new places on the ground, more of this can be discussed with potential interests, since being with me she’s come on a long way with her manners.

We’ve found out from a previous delear she was with, she was a great pony. We found her to be good in mixed herd or separate turnout.

Shes had no health issues whilst with me, apart from a reaction to fly bites, where she came out in a few hives, went away after we had a fly rug put on her and hasn’t returned since.

She’s your typical cob always on the lookout for a snack or some attention.

She has been to cross country and jumped everything with no problems. She can come on a long way to be a good pony club or mother daughter share with the right people.

Priced too sell, tack can be discussed.

Magic has done absolutely everything with us on the lead rein and is a winning machine.

She jumps absolutely anything in sight, we have done huge amounts of xc and SJ on her. Never spooky, but forward going.

Also done NSEA and just finished pc camp. Fantastic to hack and do everything to, the children can bring her in and do everything to her.

Good to clip, shoe, bath etc.

Only selling as she is NOT a FYFR, sad sale as we love her to bits but just need that FYFR now. Only downside is that she is a marish mare and will squeal at others.

We feel she is best suited to leadrein as this is where she has really excelled!

SUPER SAFE
KIND, LOVING, SUPERSTAR

Panda is the calmest, considerate, schoolmistress who always takes care of her riders. Ridden by tiny tots both on and off the lead rein.

Tonnes of experience and very safe. Ideal for a beginner, nervous rider or a rider who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, even though she is extremely safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces. She is kind and willing and will do anything you ask, jumps a course of small fences, logs and cross country jumps, she walks, trots and canters incorporating figures of 8, 3 and 4 loop serpentines, 20 metre circles in all paces on and off the lead rein in a slow, steady relaxed gait.

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. She is very genuine and loves to hack out, she doesn’t pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, she is the most loving mare you could ever wish to meet, she participates in all our lessons, walkouts, hacks and stable management sessions.


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.

Panda will hack out alone or in company in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of whether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on her own, she will not rush or pull even on the way home. She has been all Farm machinery, dogs, bike and isn’t phased.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

She is stabled during the day and out at night within a mixed herd, she is equally happy to be stabled or turned out full time, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite being out with 30 other horses.
She isn’t clingy in any way and is happy being stable and or turned out solo.

She is currently barefoot she has excellent manners with the farrier and could be shod if needed, she ties up anywhere, and loves attention.
She is excellent to catch, bath, clip, load, travel and with the farrier and dentist.

Panda would give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily compete at riding club level, fun/beach rides.

She can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance, she maintains his weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
She has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch, sarcoids, lumps or bumps.

I can honestly say he has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, she has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible pony, with so much to offer.

Pebbles, The Perfect Partner for Riders of All Levels

In the world of horses, it is rare to find one as reliable, versatile, and genuinely kind-hearted as Pebbles. A 13.1hh, 12-year-old bay cob mare, Pebbles embodies the qualities every rider dreams of in a pony: steady, safe, and endlessly patient. Her calm and generous nature makes her the ideal companion for beginners, nervous riders, and experienced equestrians alike.

Pebbles carries the leg really well along with small children she carries adults up to around 10 stone, one of the riders in the video is 5,4 and the other rider in the advert is 5,8.

Pebbles has spent the past three years working in a reputable riding school, where she has played a vital role in teaching both children and small adults. Her adaptability is remarkable mare she gently carries complete novices in their first lessons, encourages riders learning to canter and jump, and supports more advanced students through dressage movements, showjumping courses, cross-country schooling, and even gymkhana games. She is a true schoolmistress who brings out the best in everyone she meets.

What sets Pebbles apart is not only her experience but her natural ability to connect with her rider. She knows her job and performs it with quiet confidence. Her paces are balanced and steady, yet she is responsive and willing to work into a soft outline for more experienced riders. She approaches every task with enthusiasm and never displays a trace of sharpness or stubbornness. Whether schooling in the arena or out on a fun ride, she is sensible, enthusiastic, and utterly dependable.

She has done all flat work lessons, privates and groups, basic dressage moves and tests, low level jumping courses and competitions, cross country, gymkhana games she is very genuine and loves to hack out, she never pulls, rush, spook or get nervous of anything.

Pebbles has done pony club, riding club, low level competitions, beach / fun rides prior to her riding school career, so she will return to that lifestyle with ease.

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

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

Pebbles hacks out in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eye lid, she will wait at traffic lights / roundabouts for as long as required without moving, she doesn’t flinch when articulated lorries, double-decker buses, motorbikes, tractors and trailers fly pass her at some speed.
She is absolutely not fazed by large plant farm machinery.

She has impeccable manners when ridden across open fields, cantered / galloped on grass verges at the side of busy roads, within a group she is happy to be lead file, in the middle or at the back, she doesn’t pull, rush, spin or try and overtake.

sturdy sure footed schoolmistress.

She is excellent catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, farrier, dentist, vet.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot but is equally happy to be shoed.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler when showjumping, dressage, cross country, working hunter, in hand, fun rides and beach rides she has been there and done it all.

She doesn’t need to be ridden every day she can go without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance.
She has never been lame had laminitis, sweet itch or sarcoids. No lumps or bumps. No Marish traits.

Passes are annual Licence Inspection which is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

On the ground, Pebbles continues to impress. She has excellent stable manners and is handled daily by children. She will stand quietly for grooming, bathing, and tacking, even without a head collar. She loads, travels, and clips without fuss and is equally happy stabled or turned out, either in a herd or alone. She is currently barefoot, sound, and has no vices or health issues. Her long-standing participation in riding school life is a testament to her physical soundness and mental stability.

What makes Pebbles particularly special is her ability to give confidence to her rider, no matter their age or ability. She is the sort of pony that helps people fall in love with riding and continue to grow within it. Whether you are beginning your equestrian journey or looking to regain confidence, Pebbles offers a safe and supportive path forward.

We have several horses and ponies available for sale.

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.

Mickey is the ultimate first pony off lead rein he's been there done it and got the t-shirt.

He goes at a nice steady pace and is great in all situations wether at a busy show in the collecting ring or out hacking in the open fields he's Mr dependable, will happily hack behind another horse with the tiniest of jockeys or trot round a x pole class never jumping big and always being steady.

He easily pops into Canter and is very steady and just canters in a rhythm he's never strong and can be pulled up by the smallest of kids.

Mickey is literally the ultimate small just off lead rein child's pony . He's a type impossible to find and what every parent is looking for.

Great to box , trim , bath , trim etc  Very easy on the floor always handled by children. Just a complete superstar.

Mother's absolute dream

The ultimate child's pony, mother's dream and a childs bestest friend.

A real money can't buy pony and the hardest decision I've ever had to make, they don't make ponies like this anymore and are hard to come by

Been there done it and done it all hoof perfect.
Would take any child through the ranks from lead rein pony, 1st pony & 2nd pony. Well put together, stocky leg in each corner kind of pony.
Could go on for days on just how perfect she is at everything.

You want a pony who is 100% safe and will look after your child she is the pony.

Shown at county level, hacks alone or in company. She's never ever put a hoof out of line and always done everything we've ever asked of her we've had her 3 1/2 years she Isn't spooky or nappy never bucked reared or done anything silly. Not lazy and has good breaks.

she's not only ridden by a child but she's handled by a child every day from loading/tacking up/lunging it is done by a child. Rides and leads well has done sponsored rides, beach rides, showing, a complete winning machine and holds her own in the show ring no matter what, pops a little fence nicely, fun clinics, lots of hacking and everything inbetween.

Good to clip/shoe/catch and everything else you can think of.

A pony I could put my life on.

Her ONLY down fall if I'm being completely honest is she prefers to travel loose if alone. (This has never fased us)

The only reason I'm even considering selling her is because I'm kidding myself trying to make my son (9 years old) love my hobby as much as I do and his really not interested as much as it kills me she so deserves to be a child's world and be out there winning pretty rosettes 

Would love her to go to an experienced showing home where she will be treated like the princess she is but again this is only my preference have 100s of photos and videos of her and will only go to the best of homes.

Open to vetting.

Transportation can be arranged.

Won't sell unseen.

Located in Kent.

Tack & rugs can be available.

Only for sale no loans, joy riders or time wasters.

And I must warn you I will probably cry a lot

it will be the best money any parent could spend for the safety of their child.


SCHOOLMASTER RACING PONY / PROVEN ALLROUNDER

  • Same home since 3 yrs old sadly now outgrown

Been dreading this day and hearts are breaking just writing this but the time has come for this superstar pony to teach another little jockey how it is done.

Percy has been with us since he was 3 years old and we absolutely adore him! He will only go to a 5* family that promise to stay in touch.

What has this pony done? Well more like what hasn’t he done!

Hugo’s passion is to pony race, so that is exactly what we’ve concentrated on for the last 3 years since Hugo turned 9 and was old enough.

As a racing pony he has been very consistent with numerous wins and placings at both pony club and Point to Point open pony races.

Percy has travelled all over the UK pony racing and absolutely loves it. He is a true schoolmaster on the racecourse who will teach his next little jockey the ropes. Very well mannered at the races, perfect to lead up, tack up and never silly at the start.

Percy has been to Newmarket British Racing School pony racing camp for a week and was an absolute star from start to finish.

Before Hugo was old enough to start pony racing Percy did EVERYTHING! To name a few, hunting, pony club rallies, pony camps, mounted games, numerous local show jumping shows, farmrides, beach rides, hunter trials, dressage etc. He really has done it all.

He has lovely flatwork and works in a great rhythm and shape. Percy moves beautifully and would show or do a lovely dressage test.

Hugo hacks him for hours and hours through the forests cantering about etc with his friends and I just leave him to it. Percy hasn’t really hacked alone as he has always been ridden by kids, so will need work on that.

Always ridden at home and at the gallops by the kids in a snaffle. They do everything with him, from catching him, tacking him up, loading him, bathing him, mucking him out etc.

He is a complete darling to travel in a trailer or horsebox, excellent to catch, shoe, stable, turnout.

Percy does pull grumpy faces in his stable but this has never been an issue! Hugo just ties him up and cracks on. No problem at all to muck out with him in stable etc.

Percy’s halo can occasionally slip and he will have a very mild nap if he doesn’t fancy doing something. So he wouldn’t be for a novice as he needs telling from time to time. However saying this Hugo has ridden him since he was 6yrs old with no real issues.

This pony is very special to us and his new family is priority.

We are based in Whitchurch, Shropshire. I can get numerous references for this gorgeous boy.

Ref #: 380512
  • Super teaching pony
  • Affectionate and used to lots of fuss
  • Fabulous xc /- very safe in open spaces
  • Welsh Section A
  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 16 years
  • 12 hands
  • Super teaching pony
  • Affectionate and used to lots of fuss
  • Fabulous xc /- very safe in open spaces
Approx 12hh Registered Welsh Section A gelding, 16 years old. Heartbreaking sale of my daughter’s best friend.

Casper has been a brilliant first pony for my daughter. He’s taken her from a very timid, lead rein jockey to cantering confidently around open fields and competing at a variety of local events. He has given her all her first riding experiences off the yard - clinics, Working Hunter, SJ, mini HT and XC and a very memorable ride with friends around Somerford Park farm ride, jumping everything their in path.

Calm and sensible when out and about, he doesn’t get lit up in open spaces or on group rides. Happy in busy practice rings and falls asleep ringside between classes - he won’t stand alone on the trailer, but this has never affected us as he’s so easy at a show.

He’s been ridden bareback, vaulted on, dressed in tinsel, bells, flowers (and as a lion in his previous home!) and hasn’t batted an eyelid. Never bucked, reared, bolted. If you stop kicking, he will come back in two strides; which has given my daughter so much confidence - we just now need a bigger pony with more gears as she has grown so much, and is ready to take on new challenges.

He has a lovely way of going with three smooth, balanced paces - and can really strut his stuff with longer legs on board! Happy on the lead with little jockeys teaching up-downs and first canters on the lunge, but equally would produce a lovely little dressage test with a more established jockey. Has jumped up to 70cm at home and xc schooling - where he truly excels - and has competed at 30/40/50 cm on and off lead - decorating both my daughters’ bedroom walls with rosettes. Will back off show jumps with fillers and takes some encouraging with new fences, so please don’t enquire if you are looking for a pony to carry a child around a course - that isn’t who he is. He loves XC fences and is a saint with steps, ditches and water. He will follow or lead just the same and stand watching others patiently. XC is my daughters favourite discipline, due entirely to the feeling Casper has given her.

He is easy to do and used to children, non-riders, dogs, poultry and sheep. He is my go-to pony when we have friends to visit who don’t ride, and has been used routinely for teaching riding lessons.

Sweet-natured, loves fuss, grooming and kisses and has no stable vices. Very much the Welsh pony, he will tow to grass / haynet / feed bins when leading (show me a pony that doesn’t!) but has been independently handled, tacked up, loaded etc by my daughter - he’s just taught her to be on the ball!

Never sick or sorry and very low maintenance. Up to date with vaccinations, dentist, farrier and physio (routine). I’ve regularly updated his previous owner on our adventures and have had contact with the previous home too, so most history known. Super feet, always been barefoot and never had health issues.

He has been the centre of our happiest moments in 2024 and 2025 - we have hundreds of photos and videos of all we have done. He is fit and ready to help another young jockey learn the ropes and go on adventures together. We are looking for a kind, loving and knowledgeable family home, and will not be rushing the sale as we adore him. He will come with some tack and full wardrobe. Newly fitted Black Country saddle available by separate negotiation.

POA - please message or call Emily on 07956107499 with any questions. WhatsApp fine but I have issues with SMS!
