Parents dream lead rein pony


Ref #: 392387
£3,500 OVNO
  • Welsh Section A
  • Strawberry roan
  • Mare
  • 17 years
  • 11.2 hands

This gorgeous little mare is looking for a new little person to love her.

She is such a sweet thing, adores cuddles and loves to be spoilt. She is used to children, dogs, farm animals and machinery. I trust her implicitly.

She has done various PC activities and Junior Camp. Travels perfectly on a trailer and box. Hacks alone or in company. Happy to ride and lead her.

Lives in and out, never any laminitis. Has been turned out with mares and geldings. Good with farrier, vet etc. Only downside is, she has very mild sweet itch, though this has been managed very easily.

We have had Tinkerbell for just over 2 years. She is a true lead rein pony. She is 100% safe to be handled on the ground in all respects by very young children. She is absolutely perfect on the lead rein walking, trotting, cantering, jumping a course and is excellent to teach on the lunge. Off the lead rein- some days she is fantastic, others she will be a typical awkward mare. She has never done anything scary or dangerous- no bucks, rears or kicks, never takes off or goes too fast, she can simply be awkward and make it difficult for young children to make her go forward.

Comes with new tack that we bought when we got her.

42" Shetland gelding. Alfie came to us over 2 years ago and boy has he given my grand children then 2 and 3 years old lots of confidence and every opportunity from showing to hacking in the forest to SJ rallies fancy dress he’s been a super star.

Previously he did a bit of pony racing but he stepped down and looked after the little ones so they could learn to rise and trot and canter on the lead.

If you are looking for that very first safe pony to teach you the ropes he’s the one.

Good in every way farrier other ponies physio dentist vet for jabs farm traffic.

We have loads of videos and photos of our adventures with Alfie he’s been a really kind pony for the grandchildren to have fun on.

He’s not cheap for the reason he’s safe.

  • Multi talented - Pony club, mounted games, SJ, XC, Dressage
  • A genuine childs pony

This is an advert we have been putting off for so long, but he is now hopelessly outgrown and needs to go and make another little persons dreams come true.

He was bought 9 years ago for my then 4-year-old for M&M LR showing and he has literally been her best friend ever since.

He has had an amazing and successful show career to date; Inhand, Ridden, Championships, Supremes and has literally covered my daughters bedroom walls with rosettes, trophies and sashes from Lead Rein, First Ridden to Show Hunter Pony. He can equally be produced and home produced.

My daughter has literally learned everything on him from her up/downs, to coming off lead, to cantering, learning to jump, cross country, dressage, pony club and mounted games.

He hasn’t been showing for a few years, but I am sure he would love to go back to it, strutting his stuff in the ring like the showman he is, or equally be a little person’s best friend showing them the ropes like he has done for my daughter.

He is by Nantdywyll Telor out of Colne Tatiana and his full siblings include Colne Tulip, Colne Turbo, Colne Taboo.

Please only message if you are genuinely interested as this is an extremely hard sale for us as a family. No price kickers or video collectors.

Safe first pony , excellent to hack ,

Duke has the most prolific CV that any pony could possibly achieve. He is a true child’s pony and best friend who, for his entire life, has been consistently placed across both the UK and Ireland, including all prestigious venues such as HOYS, Hickstead, RIHS, Dublin, Balmoral, and countless county and agricultural shows where he has won so many championships across the board from tiny tots on the lead rein, first ridden, show hunter pony classes and more. A truly adaptable pony and a master of all classes.

Duke also has a fantastic dressage record and has competed BD. He is a great teacher who is beautifully schooled, clockwork, and push-button to ride. A great confidence giver and teacher for a child wanting a quality safe pony to gain experience on.

Duke gladly turns his hoof to all pony club activities; he enjoys playing games, show jumps, cross country, hunts, hacks, and charity rides. He rides and leads politely from a horse. A wonderful pony club pony that will show a child the ropes of how to win in the show arenas too, and along the way teach a child to ride correctly, because it’s a well-renowned fact that “good ponies make good riders!”

Fit as a fiddle, don’t be put off by the age- now days this is considered to be in his prime - he moves exceptionally well, perfectly clean and correct, with many more years to offer a loving family with a deserving child.

1st to enquire will buy—one in a million, gold-dust pony.

Brookhall Cracker Jack
12.3
Welsh B pony
5 years old

Cracker has been backed and broken with care and confidence in mind, although he is green he has really shown that he can excel at everything we ask of him, he has a great attitude to new situations and is proving to be unflappable.

Cracker would make a great all rounder for someone wanting to put their own stamp on a pony with a great start to his ridden life and a fun personality.

He has flashy paces and is never sick or sorry.

We really feel that in time he could turn his hoof to anything with bags of potential for hunting, pony club or lead rein.

Cracker, in true pony style, does love to test the fencing at home but this is his only cheekiness!

He is only for sale due to time/money commitments elsewhere and really does deserve a 5* home.

Please message/call for videos.

  • Endless experience
  • Safe as houses and super fun

This amazing little pony has been with ourselves for three years and my daughter is now fully out grown him and ready for the next step onto her next pony.

He has been used for mainly lead rein but he is forward enough and responsive enough to do both lead rein and 1.5 pony.

We are regularly at our local Pony Club where we have done weekly rallies, mounted games, dressage, musical dressage, pony club camp, poles on the floor and 30cm cross poles

We live on a working farm and he is used to dogs, cats, chickens, sheep and cattle. He is great with farm machinery and used to the tractor coming right up to his stable gate. He loves to hack, is safe with all aspects of traffic. He can be lead off another horse with no issues.

He loves to be pampered, fussed, groomed, he will stand like a dream to be clipped and platted. He will pop his head on your shoulders for kisses on his muzzle.

He will have his feet picked out by my daughter with no problems. He is excellent to catch, farrier- he is barefooted, great with visits from the vet, up to date with vaccines, no issues with the dentist, great to be tacked up and can be loaded into a trailer by my daughter.

He is great little pony with buckets of scope and talent to go far at shows, pony clubs and pony adventures. Based in Preston, Lancashire

It’s with a heavy heart that we are offering our much loved pony for sale Bambi. He is a fantastic little project pony, great to load and handle, with a kind nature that makes him a joy to be around. He has a springy jump and shows lots of promise, though he is still a little green and will benefit from further schooling and consistency.

He hacks well and is good to lunge and groom and has had no problem with the farriers. He has completed a few in hand shows and has been recognised by judges for excellent Welsh section b bloodlines particularly in showing.

Sadly, due to my daughter being focused on her exams, he simply isn’t getting the time and attention he deserves, and we want to see him thrive with someone who can give him that we feel he would suit an experienced rider that can extend his education further .

This is a very difficult decision for us, as he is such a special part of our family since he was a yearling, but we know he has so much potential to shine with the right person.We have many videos and pictures

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.

Princess Polly – 12yo, 12.2hh British Riding Pony 
The ultimate all-rounder with show ring sparkle and a heart of gold

Polly is the most perfect little princess pony – a true gem with flicky toes and elegant movement that would turn heads in the show ring. But don’t be fooled by her dainty looks – she’s bold, brave, and absolutely loving her jumping! We’ve recently started popping her round some bigger courses and she’s taken to it like a duck to water – never stops, always keen, and clearly having the time of her life.

She is forward off the leg and will take a child into a fence, she's not at all sharp and is genuinely one of my most favourite ponies we've ever had (hence keeping her for months on end), I actually want to keep her but have realised that a grown woman keeping a tiny pony as a pet when she could be being loved by a child is wasting her completely and also a little ridiculous.

She hacks out confidently both alone and in company and is a joy to have on the yard. Polly comes to call, loves fuss, and is genuinely part of the family – my little pet. It’s only because I have no reason to keep her as a pet that I’m considering letting her go, and I’ll only do so for the right home. There’s absolutely no rush.

Polly would suit a little girl wanting to learn the ropes or a competitive child or small teen looking for a pony to do a bit of everything – showing, jumping, hacking, and loving. She’s ready to shine and deserves someone who’ll adore her as much as we do.


 

 

Stanley looking for his next best friend

Stan is approx 13hh, gelding, 13yo British Riding Pony, very well bred with beautiful paces.

Absolute sweetheart. He has hacked out in company and alone, also jumped fences up to 60cm in the field and school.

Seen hounds but not been in the thick of the hunting field!

He is fine with tractors and trailors, loads and travels well, good to clip except his head, good to trim feet, (barefoot with tough little feet) and has his own saddle which can be sold for extra if required. Teeth need regular 6 month care.

Attended PC the last two summers, but we haven’t had time this year.

My daughter has grown so much in confidence with Stan and he really is a dear little pony, so we want to see him go to the right home.

Would suit 8 years plus child with strong legs if wanting to PC or the perfect pony for a less confident non competitive child who wants a super pretty pony to love.

MOELTRYFAN CHEEKY BOY

Incredibly versatile - from leadrein through to first ridden and beyond

A most special Christmas present …

Do not contact me unless you read the advert carefully and are only after an older schoolmaster pony .This sale is difficult enough so don’t waste my time or your time. Mid- high four figures for our beloved Boo.

Steady, confidence giving, safe, fun, all rounder - the most loving pony and child’s best friend.

Heartbreaking sale of my son’s best friend-A real life perfect unicorn. Please note Boo is looking for younger children on the lead-rein or older riders that are lightweight. Please read carefully and only contact me if you can fit the criteria as we are wanting the perfect match!
We are looking for a home that can offer him only but the best! We don’t want a competition home every weekend but an all round family home with a varied lifestyle.

• Schoolmaster
• Stunning looks and a beautiful, easy rocking horse canter. He’s steady yet responsive.

Boo enjoyed the show ring before turning his hoof to hunting, pony club and a more all-round life.

We bought Boo to give my son confidence after loosing his nerve with a pony that bucked and reared all the time, he didn’t want to ride anymore and this pony restored his confidence. So much so that he’s now moved onto his next pony which is 14hh.

We don’t want to part with Boo but he’s too lovely and talented to be ridden occasionally and a family pet.

He deserves the best home now and to give a child the joy he’s given us.
Boo has many rosettes , winning many times and trophies . He’s admired wherever we go.

He’s attended PC Camps , numerous rallies and he has competed successfully at lots of local shows and mini ODEs.He has been to many busy hunt meets and hunted with us and his previous home. We've done pc camps, rallies, pc show jumping, cross country, showing, mini one day events, hunting, fun rides, local shows, gymkhanas, village fete pony rides the list is endless!

Boo is a pony club superstar - nothing he has not done. Boo loves jumping and he jumped up to 70cm and 80cm with my son at competitions , alongside winning the Chase Me Charlie at camp jumping 1M.

His only vice is rarely ( once or twice in a year) he’s bucked in an open space
( cantering in field) through excitement. This hasn’t bothered or worried my son at all. He would never do this on the lead rein or in the arena - it’s only when the children have moved up to the 2nd type pony.

Hacks alone or in company. Nannies other horses and ponies out hacking. Used to calm and give confidence to others out and about. Totally safe with busy traffic or outside pubs with lots going on.

Boo is kind and gentle on the ground and always handled by children, will stand for hours to be pampered, loves to be groomed and washed. He has the patience of a saint. Amazing manners. He's happy to be groomed, fussed and pampered all day long. I know, I can let my children safely handle him to groom, bath, tack up, rug up, muck out and load.


Boo can be left for weeks without been ridden. He is in at night over the winter and out by day over the spring/summer on restricted grazing. He’s had laminitis once with his previous owners and we have been very strict about his regime and diet. He’s never shown any signs with us.

He's been fully shod due to the terrain where we live and work load and currently just fronts, but can go bare foot depending on work load and terrain. We live on a busy working farm so he's used to big machinery cattle, sheep and noise.

Up to date with all vaccinations. No health issues. Perfect for the vet, farrier, dentist and to clip.

From the stable to out and about, Boo is a joy. His temperament is second to none - loving, gentle, and cheekily charming.
This pony means the world to my son and to us as a family.
This is a very sad and difficult sale, and we are looking for the right home because he's only had 2 homes before us. The previous owners would like updates and to stay in touch. His last owners had Boo for 10 years from lead-rein to 2nd pony, he kept the three girls safe throughout their riding journey so he’s incredibly important to them as well as his first owner and myself.
The ideal home would be an experienced pony club family home with younger siblings looking to ride Boo once he’s outgrown.

Price includes tack and rugs . Strictly no time wasters . Homes will be vetted and please only enquire if you think you might be the next suitable home. Many Thanks.

Lacey Rose - sweetest little Barbie pony


Ref #: 392000
  • Handled daily by an 8 year old
  • Never spooky
  • Loves cuddles and fuss
£4,000 ONO
  • Welsh Section A
  • Palomino
  • Mare
  • 7 years
  • 12 hands
  • Handled daily by an 8 year old
  • Never spooky
  • Loves cuddles and fuss

Lacey is looking for a new little human to take her on adventures as my daughter has sadly outgrown her.

We have had her for just under 4 years. Originally backed for lead rein and this is what she is happiest doing. She will plod round all day walk, trot and even over a fence with somebody running at the side of her. She is not spooky at all and is happy out hacking on her own or in company.

We have done some fun shows, beach rides, pony club sessions. Lacey loads and travels well, is good for farrier (has front shoes) and dentist. Good to be clipped. Not a huge fan of being bathed but is getting better. Comes to call in the field.

My daughter came off lead rein around 12 months ago and we sent her away to be schooled again and although she does go off lead rein she requires a confident and determined rider and she can be sassy and throw a buck and just plant her feet. This is why I feel more suited to lead rein. She has never bolted she does not have that speed I'm her.

Laceys only vice is she does wind suck when in the stable. This has never affected her and i never struggle to keep weight on her. She will happily live out if she could with friends.

She is the sweetest little pony, loves cuddles, kisses and has even done pony parties with glitter tattoos and main chalk.
