A beautiful, experienced Welsh Section B with a proven history.

Matilda is a much-loved 14-year-old Welsh Section B mare who has been a very special part of our family.

She has been shown successfully throughout her life, including qualifying for STARS at Aintree, and most importantly, she has taught my own daughter to ride.

She is an intelligent, forward-thinking and beautifully presented pony with a huge amount of experience behind her. She has been enjoyed both in the show ring and as a family pony and is now looking for her next special home.

Under saddle:

• Shown successfully throughout her life

• Qualified for STARS at Aintree

• Good on the lead rein and ridden independently

• Hacks alone or in company

• Happy to lead or follow

• Experienced in different environments

• Beautiful jumper for a confident young rider

• Canters independently

• Has successfully taught my daughter to ride

Matilda is a versatile pony who has experience carrying both lead-rein and independent riders. She is forward and intelligent, so we feel she would be best suited to a confident child with supportive parents rather than a complete novice rider.

Easy to do:

• Loads onto both a trailer and lorry

• Happy living in a herd or individual paddock

• Picks up all four feet

• Excellent for the dentist and requires no sedation

• Straightforward with normal day-to-day care

• Vaccinations and worming up to date

• No known health issues

Matilda is by Eyarth Rio, giving her a lovely Welsh pedigree to complement her proven ability and showing history.

She is not being advertised as a project. She is an established, experienced family pony who has been there, done it and has years of experience behind her.

She has been a very special part of our family and, as such, finding the right home is extremely important to us. We are looking for a knowledgeable, caring home where she can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated for everything she has to offer.

Priced to find the kind genuine home she deserves, my priority is finding her the right family over the right price. If you think you can offer this mare the 5* home and love she deserves, then lets have a conversation.

Serious enquiries welcome. Videos and further information available.

Little Arthur has been part of our family in many capacities , for a child who has additional needs and has enjoyed cuddling and grooming him.

He’s been a great lead rein and been 2nd at some county shows where he behaved impeccably. He’s also given confidence to a little boy who didn’t want to even get on another pony and now he’s happily cantering up the fields at his own pace whilst others fly by . He’s easy to do in all ways -never a bit of trouble .

He’s the kindest pony I’ve ever met and will bring the next family lots of happiness .

Jack enjoys his jumping and travels well to the jumps we feel for jumping he is more a 1.5 pony but for everything would be suitable for a first pony

Lakehead Elloquence.

Reluctantly writing this as I never thought the time would come where I would have to. An unexpected change in circumstances forces the sale of this fantastic versatile one in a million mother’s dream pony.

Nellie an 11 year old Registered Standard Shetland Mare 40” . Bought direct from the breeder we have been the only home she’s ever known.

She needs no introduction having shown Inhand to a high level all over the country with huge success. She’s an excellent driving pony aswell as a fabulous ridden pony, both on and off the lead. She’s been Ridden off lead at County, Riding Club & Agriculture Level by a young adult aswell as a child with huge success.

She has been the most fabulous Lead Rein pony for my Precious Granddaughter for the past 2 years. Granddaughter is now absolutely obsessed with all things pony and Nellie has excelled in her role as her starter pony. Granddaughter now moving on to her Dartmoor pony who also rides and drives, so we feel Nellie should move on and let another family enjoy all she has to offer.

Nellie is excellent to do in every way and is super with young children.

This is a heartbreaking sale for us and one prompted only by an injury to one of my mares that is proving very expensive to treat/repair and has left me with nothing to ride for the next year. So as my granddaughter does not need two ponies it is our decision to let Nellie go whilst I find another to compete myself.

Absolutely no time wasters, loans, lwvtb, payment plans etc, etc! This is a sale of an incredible Shetland pony who is worth her weight in gold.

Comes with all her rugs (hundreds probably one for each day of the year 😂).

Show Pony/ fun all rounder – The Ultimate Safe Child’s Ride

Beautiful 12.2hh show pony with exceptional manners and temperament. A true child’s pony who is safe, sensible, and easy in every way. Good to hack and pops a fence, he will look after even the smallest of jockeys.

Only lightly shown as we are concentrating on novice ponies and he is massively outgrown but will step up or down a level depending on jockey. Has safely taken my daughter from FR into the the open classes.

Previously qualified for RIHS and placed highly in the few qualifiers he has contented this year.

Perfect to handle on the ground and ridden and handled by children. Genuine, kind confidence-giver with no vices and would happily take a nervous child safely. No health issues and will turnout/ ride/ travel alone or in company.

Only reluctantly for sale to the very best home as prematurely outgrown and concentrating on bigger, novice ponies.

Now reduced due to lack of time and other ponies going into winter.

• Has done Pony Club, rallies, SJ, XC, fun rides, camps, hunts, hacks, dressage

'COOKIE' registered Welsh Section A, born 2018. A very sad sale of a beautiful looking, confidence giving pony. Great to do in all ways, perfectly mannered in and out of the stable and around little ones. Safe and sound to ride, responsive to even the tiniest of legs, nicely forward without being 'whizzy' or 'sharp'. Ridden by a a nervous 11 year old on and off the lead rein and a small six year old off the lead rein.

He's done a bit of everything. Would do the lead rein, first ridden, 1.5 and second pony job. Out off the yard every week at various rallies, competitions etc. Will pop sweetly round a 30/40cm course. Has scope to jump bigger but we haven't done this with him. Very soft snaffle mouth.

A true gem and mother's dream. All homes will be vetted, ideally want a long term loving home with multiple children to enjoy. Absolutely no time wasters, a truly heart breaking sale of a very loved pony. Only for sale as we have too many. Vaccinations, teeth, feet up to date, ready to go for the Summer. Local home preferred and we'd love to keep in touch.

• Minimally Marked Mini Traditional Cob With Excellent Conformation
• Had A Fantastic Novice Season On & Off Lead Rein Inc Evening Performance & Concours
• Loves To Hack Alone & In Company, Great In Traffic And In Open Spaces

Tommy is a true to type traditional gypsy cob with great conformation, certainly a future HOYS junior coloured contender. He has an abundance of quality, straight and silky hair. He is substantial and easily carries a lightweight adult.

Tommy has had a fantastic start to his education, spending last year as a four year old out hacking and exploring the world, then this spring he began his schooling in preparation for showing

Tommy loves to hack, either by himself or in company. He is happy to go first or last, and is sensible on the road in traffic, trotting up grass verges and in open fields.

Tommy loves children and has enjoyed jumping small fences in the school. He has been lightly but successfully shown this summer by four and five year old lead rein jockeys, and a ten year old first ridden jockey in walk and trot classes.

He has also been to his first stay away show, been in an evening performance and competed in the concurs class wearing a dress!

Tommy is a real yard favourite and turns heads wherever he goes. He is very easy to do, including blow drying his legs with a blaster.

With further education over winter, this pony is certain to do well in RIHS open qualifiers and the HOYS junior ranks. He is an all-round fun pony and would also enjoy pony club events.

He is CHAPS registered, vaccinated, has regular farrier appointments (unshod) and has a JMB (120cm) so he can compete affiliated in lead rein, first ridden, junior and open showing classes.

Quality (new) tack and rugs available separately. Very sad sale, please no timewasters or anyone not in a position to buy. No loans.

TOYS QUALIFYING GREATEST GELDING. (Sold with his ticket to compete) "Perfect stamp, you could pop him in a box" said the judge. Competed at the weekend by his 4 year old jockey! First time out with Ferris wheel, shires, tractors, trailers , donkeys and cows and didnt bat an eyelid! .

Safe and sane as houses. Will go very far with a knowledgeable family. Old head on young shoulders Obi is pretty unflappable. Has completed Pony Club camp off the lead rein this summer with a nervous novice, trained mounted games and done a little bit across all 3 disciplines.

Obi is the kindest, cuddliest, biddable and amenable lead rein pony. Stands all day long to be fussed and groomed (and lets face it with that feather it's just as well!).

Super in traffic, out hacking in front or behind, open spaces and pony club group rallies. He has a personality to die for and deserves a long term family home with loads of little people.

5 years old same home since 6 months he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He's as close as you can get to bombproof but still only young so I will not sell to first time pony owners or dealers.

Flashy little mover. Goes well to voice command and proven very popular with the judges in the showing ring.

**PRICE REDUCED **

This does not reflect the quality of this pony.

💗 **THE ULTIMATE CHILD’S BEST FRIEND** 💗

**Cherish your child? Then Matilda is for you!

⭐ 13hh 9 year old mare** ⭐

Matilda really is the ultimate child’s first pony.

She is a beautiful little mare who has been very well looked after and certainly hasn’t been hammered. She’s not a flashy competition pony, but what she lacks in flash, she more than makes up for with a temperament to die for, both on the ground and ridden.

Matilda is such a kind, gentle soul with so much love to give and genuinely is a child’s best friend. There isn’t a nasty bone in her body.

Children can literally do everything with her even clip her out on their own! She absolutely loves a pamper and is easy to catch, load, tack up, pick her feet out, groom and handle. All of this can happily be done by a child — no parents required!

She has done a bit of everything, from showing and hacking to pub rides, and will happily plod around bareback with the kids. She is safe and sensible out hacking, including in open spaces and alongside bigger horses.

Matilda has good brakes, doesn’t get strong and isn’t a forward going pony, making her ideal for a smaller or less confident child.

She has looked after my girls for the last four years, but sadly they have now outgrown her, so the heartbreaking time has come to find her another little person to love.

✅ 100% to box/load

✅ Good for the farrier/shoeing

✅ Good in traffic

✅ Good for the dentist

✅ Child friendly to handle

✅ Safe and sensible

✅ Comes with tack and a few rugs.

📍 **Based in West Yorkshire**

Matilda deserves the very best home where she can become another child’s best friend and be loved as much as she is here.

15-year-old Grey Welsh Section A Mare | Green Passport. Revel breeding.

A much-loved family pony, owned by us for 2.5 years and only tentatively looking for a new home as our 11-year-old daughter is getting increasingly long-legged and ready to think about the next size up after one final fun summer.

🩷 About her

• 11.2hh, grey, 15-year-old Welsh Section A mare

• Occasionally sports a pink glittery tail!

• Full history known with references available from 2 previous homes (pony party rides)

• A genuine part of our family and handled regularly by children

• Has been an absolute dream for a non-horsey mum to own and have fun with our children

🏇 She loves having a job and going out

• Gymkhanas

• Rallies

• Hunting

• Fancy dress

• Hacking

• Ridden both on and off the lead rein to capabilities of child

• Plenty of family videos available

🚜 Easy & sensible

Loads beautifully into a trailer and has been excellent around roads and farm machinery — never spooky or silly.

She doesn’t need lunging before riding, even if she’s had several weeks turned out without work. Regularly clipped and very used to family life; she mostly lives in the paddock at the bottom of our cottage garden, so she’s accustomed to children climbing on, grooming and handling her.

Health & care

✓ No history of laminitis or sweet itch

✓ Vaccinated March 2026

✓ Teeth May 2026

✓ Feet trimmed every 8-12 weeks

🎀 Included: bespoke bridle

🐴 14” Wintec saddle negotiable if wanted

❌ No loan availability

She has given us some wonderful memories and we’d love to find her a lovely home where she can continue doing the things she enjoys. We’d also be delighted to keep in touch with her new owners.

• Mare
• 7 years
• 11.2hh / 117cm

• Fantastic, confident hack – happy alone or in company, in front or behind
• Ideal lead rein / second pony for a confident child who wants to get out and have fun

Gadlys Serena is a beautiful 7-year-old, 11.2hh Welsh Section A mare with bags of personality and all the cheeky character you’d expect from a Welshie.

Serena absolutely loves getting out and about and hacking is definitely her happy place. She is confident and forward out hacking, happily going in front or behind, and is confident enough to hack away from other horses. She has previously enjoyed shows and fun rides and would really thrive in an active home where she can have plenty of variety and adventures.

In the school she is quite different and is much more kick-along than forward! She needs a positive little rider with enough leg to keep her working and can get bored simply going round in circles. She is much happier when she has something interesting to do.

Serena is happy to be ridden on the lead rein with a knowledgeable and confident handler, or would suit a confident child looking for a second pony. She is not a true first-ridden type and wouldn’t suit a very nervous or complete novice child riding independently.

She is a typical mare and a proper cheeky little Welsh character who knows her own mind. She responds best to confident, consistent handling and we feel she would be happiest with a slightly older (age 5+) or more experienced child and family who understand ponies, rather than very young children wanting to climb all over her.

She is a lovely little pony with lots to offer and, in the right home with a confident little jockey, we think she would have great fun doing Pony Club, hacking, fun rides and generally getting out and about. Serena will jump a small course but jumping isn’t her strong point.

She is good to groom and enjoys a fuss, and is fine with a slow running hose, although she isn’t particularly keen on sprays.

This is a very sad sale and finding the right home is extremely important to us. We originally bought Serena for our young daughter to walk and trot around the farm on the lead rein, but as we’ve got to know her we’ve realised that Serena would be much better suited to a child who wants to get out and do more with her.

Serena will come with her Wintec 500 pony saddle, Diddy Bits bridle and comfort bit.

• Exceptional children's hunting pony - sensible in the crowd or happily at the back
• Genuine lead rein & first ridden - more woah than go and an absolute gentleman
• Been there and done it - 3 x Pony Club camps, mounted games rallies, fancy dress

Teddy is our much loved 11hh, 14yo Dartmoor type gelding and the ultimate little gentleman. This is a very sad sale of a pony who has given our family so much joy.

He is a genuine lead rein and first ridden pony and definitely more woah than go. He has looked after his little rider beautifully and is a wonderful confidence giver.

Teddy has been exceptional at children's meets. He stands sensibly at the meet, happily goes along amongst the crowd and is equally content to stay quietly at the back on his own. He doesn't get wound up by the excitement and has been a wonderful pony for a child to enjoy hunting on.

He has been to three Pony Club camps and taken part in lots of Pony Club rallies, mounted games, fancy dress and general family fun.

On the ground he is an absolute gent. Perfect to load and with the farrier, stands patiently to be groomed and fussed over by children and loves cuddles and affection. He really is the sort of pony children can enjoy doing everything with, not just riding.

He is a hardy native of Dartmoor type (not a registered dartmoor pony) who lives on fresh air and we are not aware of any previous health problems. Comes with saddle and bridle.

Teddy is well known locally and plenty of Pony Club families, instructors and others who have seen him in many different settings across the New Forest will no doubt happily vouch for him.

Home is incredibly important. We are looking for a long term Pony Club or hunting family home where Teddy can continue doing the things he loves and be adored. He would be particularly suited to a family with several children, where he can teach one after another and hopefully stay for many years.

Teddy has given us so much joy and we owe it to him to find a home that will love and appreciate him as much as we do. The right home is far more important than a quick sale, we can keep him for as long as.

Treacle – 13hh 8yo Fell Mare 🖤

Treacle is a 8yo, 13hh Fell mare with a lovely character and plenty to offer her next home.

She is a fun, versatile pony who has been hunting, jumping and local showing. She is more woah than go but will go when you put your leg on.

Treacle is very easy in company and turns out with mares and geldings, although she does like to make sure everyone knows that she is definitely the boss of the field!

She would suit someone looking for a fun little all-rounder who can turn her hoof to a bit of everything, whether that be hunting, jumping, showing or simply having fun out and about.

• 13hh - 15 2hh
• RDA centre needing LWVTB/Loan
• Temperament is more important than breed

We are looking for any breed for LWVTB as they will need to be trialled in our RDA environment before purchasing to see if they're suited to this lifestyle before a participant can ride them. This is as much for the ponies as the suitability for riders.

Must already be ridden and has to be over 5 yrs old (RDA rules). Can accept some quirks but must be safe for our disabled riders. They will also have to pass a stage 2 vetting which can be arranged whilst on loan.

We can offer a high standard of care, a light work load so older ages are acceptable if sound.

We have stables but they live out as much as possible even throughout winter. We can offer small herd/individual turnout.

If you would like to check out our RDA centre we are online and Facebook as Elisabeth Curtis Centre.

My daughter has sadly outgrown her babysitter! Calypso has really brought her riding on. She has learnt to jump on him at 70 & 80cms. He has given her confidence. He has also looked after my younger daughter who is quite a nervous rider. Plus given pony rides to all their friends.

He is a true gentleman. For sale as very sadly out grown. A great kid's pony. Good to catch, clip, shoe, teeth, travel, hack out, groom, wash.

Mixes with other horses inside or outside.

Good on lead, or off lead. He will walk beside you if you need to walk with your child. You can also lead another pony from him.

He doesn't mind dogs & been used to heard sheep.

• Completed Pony Club camp 2026 successfully
• Given loan rider 2 great summers of fun riding activities, now sadly outgrown

We are hoping to find a really good home for this handsome little star where he will be loved and enjoyed by a new little rider.

He has proved to be a safe fun pony, doing various PC activities, fun rides, hacking, training sessions. His current rider was 8 when she started the loan and she is now 10 and growing fast ..so looking for a bigger pony. Since I, ( the owner) don't have any children he is offered for sale.

He is not a whizzy pony... quite steady , although genuine enquiries can see his showjumping video where he does a lovely clear round at a good pace over a set of 50cm jumps with his loan rider.

He is available straightaway and can be viewed at loan home near Alsager, Staffordshire.

Genuine enquiries please, we really want him to go to a kind knowledgeable home where he will be well looked after. He's such a lovely personality he does deserve a home where he will be appreciated, so please don't be offended if I ask questions about his next home.

**To enquire please text first as limited phone signal means I often miss calls and I do not use voicemail... at least texts usually get through and then I can go to an area of better reception to call you.

Price reduced to £3950 just over the next week , simply because rider is keen to find bigger pony now that she's grown, so whilst he is still with loan rider I've made his price more competitive to find a nice home for him. If he returns to me at my yard I will just put his price back to £5500 .

• 12.1hh / 125cm

• First pony, lead rein or RDA
• Exceptional temperament
• Qualified RIHS open ridden coloured 2025

Exceptional 12.1hh, 10 year old traditional coloured mare.

True first pony, lead rein, junior ridden or RDA pony.

12.1hh but really takes up the leg - previous owner who rode her at RIHS is 5 foot 7 and was not too big for her!

We bought Dolly for my twin 10 year olds, just over a year ago, primarily as my daughter, who rides with the Riding for the Disabled (RDA) desperately wanted her own pony. Her twin had never sat on a pony before. Dolly has taught them both to ride, including winning numerous classes over the summer, qualifying for the sunshine tour in first ridden, lead rein and in hand classes. My children do everything independently with Dolly – bringing in and turning out, grooming, bathing, tacking up, loading, feeding. She is a true child’s pony, I know that they are absolutely safe around her, no matter what they are doing. Dolly will stand for hours and hours to be pampered, groomed, bathed, plaited and cuddled.

Dolly is fantastic to hack. She hacks in gale force winds, rain or shine, alone and in company but mainly alone as we are on a competition yard with adults – with one of my girls riding, then they swap half way! She hacks on open countryside and has experienced out of control dogs running at her, barking and jumping at her and owners chasing them and stands still and calm. We have taken her up to the South Downs accidently at the same time as a cross country race and again she was completely non plussed by multiple high vis runners on narrow paths racing past her. She’s had mountain bikes zoom past, from behind her, and again not spooked or got upset. She has an exceptional temperament that is incredibly hard to find. We have taken Dolly up on the South downs, through woodlands, to the beach, to shows – both indoor and on grass and she has been brilliant. This is all with my novice daughters who had only ridden with RDA and the other never before Dolly. Dolly has been led from me in my power chair with our two dogs running alongside. My daughter hacked Dolly from the yard to the beach with a group of adults. She had to lead the group across the railway crossing as the horses were being silly. She stood on the beach whilst they had a good gallop, away from her and back towards and then they hacked home together.

After only a few months of riding, Dolly has taken both my girls to lots of shows – their first ever show she won her classes with both children! She is very easy at shows, happy to stand and eat a haynet, for the kids to walk her round, share an ice cream, be sat on bareback and played with. She needs zero working in. My daughter who had never ridden before getting Dolly is now confidently riding in first ridden and pony club classes and Dolly has competed in lead rein, in hand, junior handler, dressage, handy pony (where she was 2nd out of well over 20 entries), never coming away without a ribbon! She won her in hand coloured class at her last show. Dolly qualified for RIHS 2025 in the open coloured ridden class and would be a really top class junior ridden.

My girls mainly enjoy hacking, doing obstacle courses in the sand school, having lessons, lunging her, doing shows, trotting over cross poles, pole clinics and just generally playing with her. They do not canter and have no desire, they are both novice / nervous and have never wanted to progress to anything faster than a trot. Dolly is very well schooled and with her previous owner competed regularly in dressage and affiliated showing, qualifying for RIHS on her first attempt. Dolly would be a top junior ridden and would excel at both dressage and showing or equally as a cherished first pony, teaching tiny tots to ride or would be an exceptional RDA pony. I do not think jumping will be her forte – she will trot over very small cross poles but we have done nothing more. My ideal home is one where she is adored and pampered like she is here.

Dolly is well used to dogs and has met cattle, sheep and lots of livestock out hacking on the downs. She is not phased by tractors, bikes, motorbikes, cars and so on.

Dolly is excellent to catch, shoe, clip, bath, load. We have a single trailer but she has also travelled in company in both a lorry and trailer – she is loaded and unloaded by my children. You can do everything with Dolly without her tied up – I can clip her face etc with no headcollar. She is very easy on the ground, has no vices and is not mareish or difficult to manage when in season. She turns out alone or in company, is respectful of fencing, has been in by day and out by night over the summer and is out by day, in by night in winter. She stables alone if needed as is very content with a haynet! She is barefoot with good feet. Dolly is up to date with her vaccinations and passed a 5 stage vetting last year (2025). She has never been unsound, unwell or needed the vet, except for her vaccinations.

Any viewings, inspections and vetting fully welcomed – I have 1000s of photos and videos to show all the things they do together.

Please note, Dolly is very heavily feathered and as such these need maintence and care specific to traditionals- will talk this all through honestly with all buyers.

Ponies like Dolly are very few and far between and references can be obtained from both previous owners.

This is a devastating sale due to an unexpected and life changing medical diagnosis earlier this year meaning I am in and out of hospital and have a long, complex treatment plan ahead. Please absolutely no timewasters, or those not in a position to buy, as this is a distressing time for everyone involved. Home is of utmost paramount importance.

This is a sale only, no loans, I am very keen to stay in touch as is previous owner, if at all possible please.

Based West Sussex, excellent trial facilities. Price negotiable to very best home and a straightforward sale due to our difficult circumstances.

Dolly will come with everything - bridle, rugs etc, 6 month old made to measure Ideal GP by seperate negotiation.

We can potentially help with delivery.
