Lead Rein & First Ridden: First pony

Beautiful section B mare, a proper confidence giver

Ref #: 343185
  • Genuinely kind child's lead rein / first ridden pony
  • Great Showing Potential
  • Hacks alone and in company, good with traffic and tractors
£5,000
  • Welsh Section B
  • Liver chestnut
  • Mare
  • 8 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • 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.

This is the link to her full pedigree

  • Loves children - really is their best friend

Fabulous quality lead rein pony, true to type. Rio has taken to his job so well.

A late starter as he was just a lad in a field when we bought him for his undeniably fabulous looks and conformation.

He has come home and been well handled by the children all summer, leading, grooming, feet picked out and all the lovely things with kids.

We then sent him to Sam and Georgia Darlington to be broken and brought on which he has done with a smile on his face.

Lead rein is his absolute job and he loves it, just does not put a foot wrong.

So there we are, as the grandchild he was destined for has other ideas so he is for sale to go on and delight a new family.

Totally unknown and ready to shine.

Exceptional LR/FYFR/FR all rounder Welsh Section A

Ref #: 400355
  • A super safe and easy, confidence building pony.
  • True steady, child’s pony who loves a varied life
  • Previously qualified HOYS/RIHS (LR M&M)
£5,000 ONO
  • Welsh Section A
  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 11 years
  • 11.2 hands
  • A super safe and easy, confidence building pony.
  • True steady, child’s pony who loves a varied life
  • Previously qualified HOYS/RIHS (LR M&M)

‘Rowfantina Take a Bow’ - An absolutely heartbreaking sale of our much loved pony, Percy, who is hopelessly outgrown. Same home for the past 5 years.

Percy has taken my incredibly nervous little girl from being too scared to trot on the lead rein to cantering round small jumping courses, showing FR, farm rides, beach rides and endless hacking. He is a super safe, steady pony who is more woah than go.

Showing - previously professionally produced and qualified for HOYs and RIHS. He was 4th at HOYs in 2018 in LR M&M. We have shown local level and done LR and then progressed to FR where he has been incredibly safe in the busiest of rings. He knows his LR job inside out. We qualified for STARS where he behaved impeccably despite the electric atmosphere and didn’t put a hoof wrong. No working in/calmers/ear plugs needed at all.

Jumping - we haven’t done lots of jumping as my daughter was not a big fan. But he happily trots/canters round cross pole classes. Very safe, jumped show jumps/small fillers/working hunter fences and small jumps on farm rides. Never over jumps, just potters over.

Dressage - has done some LR and intro classes, lovely comments from the judges. He has beautiful paces.

Hacking - loves to go out hacking, hacks alone or in company. Hacks on roads with all traffic/tractors etc and is never spooky. Great in open spaces, never gets silly, even if the others cantering off will happily stay at the back. Happy to be lead from other horses. Great on the beach.

Currently stabled with daily turnout and goes out overnight in summer. Happily turned out with mares/geldings or on his own. Is a very good doer so we do restrict his grazing. Never had laminitis but we are careful to avoid. Can sometimes pull faces in the stable/at feed time but would never bite/kick.

Perfect to travel again alone or with others, self loads, stands on the box all day, never gets upset if the others leave him alone on the box. Perfect to clip/farrier (2 fronts)/dentist/vet. Will stand to be groomed and pampered by little ones all day. Can pull little ones to tasty hay/grass if they’re leading but never tries it on with more experienced handlers. My daughter (now 11) does everything with him herself now. He has had his knees injected for mild arthritis but doesn’t affect his performance at all.

We are looking for a very special, loving home where Percy could make another family’s dreams come true and help teach more little children to ride and have lots of fun.

Hundreds of photos/videos available on request for serious enquires only.

Scooby is a fun, forward and outgoing pony that is well schooled knowing his job, with beautiful paces.

He has have mainly hacked, attended pony club and a handful of local shows with us.

Keen jumping and responsive to the aids, forwarding going, can be spooky occasionally nothing dangerous just needs a confident jockey, would suit as second pony for a confident junior or lead rein. My daughter is not as confident jumping as we thought and have very honestly over horsed her in this phase.

Not strong always ridden in a snaffle, very good breaks. Previously used in a riding school on and off lead rein, and has taken part in various activities. Good to hack.

Easy to handle my daughter does everything with him, tack up, load, change rugs, turnout fetch in, bath etc

Good to clip, load, farrier, dentist.

Currently shod in front as we hack a lot.

Beautiful boy wanting a jockey to go have fun with him.

No dealers, joy riders or time wasters this has been a difficult decision as we adore this little pony.

Lots of videos available on request.

  • 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

Jack is a stunning young pony, black, 4 white socks. 5yo Gelding.

Jack has been completely produced by a now 10yo girl who has sadly outgrown him.

He has done Dressage and Showjumping competitions as well as Cross Country Schooling, polo cross and mounted games at pony club camp too.

He is totally a childs pony to handle and do, never strong to lead etc.

Jack is still young so no complete novice homes please. He is fab for a child to ride off the leadrein and never strong, he just lacks abit of confidence jumping fillers with a small child but we feel this is just a case of getting out and doing more arena hires, shows etc. Cross country he is fab.

Jack has tonnes of scope and easily pops 70cm at home with his 10yo jockey.

We really feel this pony is going to come into his own over the next few years, we have just run out of time with him!

No vices, good to Hack, for farrier etc.

For Sale Together Only - A Pair Much-Loved Welsh Section A Ponies (Mother & Daughter)

  • Sold from field
SOLD!
  • Welsh Section A
  • Chestnut Roan
  • Mare
  • 10 years
  • 12 hands
  • Done PC, games, lead rein dressage, local showing, hacking
  • Lead rein or first ridden for more confident child
  • Sold from field
A pair of unregistered Section A mares (16yrs and 10yrs) offered for sale together. They are mother and daughter and have lived their whole lives together; we simply cannot bear to sell them apart, so they will only be sold as a pair.

The older mare is 16 years old. She has previously done Pony Club activities and local shows, enjoys popping small cross poles, and is happy hacking both on and off the lead rein. She is experienced, but like many Welsh ponies she does have a cheeky streak, so would be best suited to a more confident child when off the lead rein. Generally she is much more woah than go however.

The younger mare is 10 years old and very low mileage due to our lack of time. She was lightly backed by us and was quiet and straightforward, taking everything in her stride. She has not been pushed on but shows a great attitude.

Both ponies are currently out of work and living in the field due to lack of time, so they will need to be slowly and sympathetically brought back into work. For this reason, a knowledgeable and understanding home is essential. They are sold as seen from the field.

They are not world beaters, but are real characters with funny personalities and will be best friends for a new child.

This is a very sad sale and as such no time wasters or dealers please.
£2000 for the pair.

Please contact via text message in the first instance, due to working hours.
