  • Genuine pony, owned for eight years, only for sale to buy a bigger one!
This wonderful pony has a fantastic temperament, he can take a wobbly rider right through to becoming a competitor, he has been used in a busy riding school for eight years and taught hundreds of children how to ride. He will stand all day to be groomed, has three lovely paces

Would be a perfect first pony or second pony as he can step up for a confident rider and has a scopey jump and could easily go affiliated.

An experienced pony who has taken part in all pony club activities, camps, been unaffiliated showjumping with a novice child on, done online dressage, jumped cross country fences and has also been hound exercising and behaved brilliantly.

He hacks out alone and in company, turned out in a mixed herd, good to trim, load and clip but needs the twitch when doing his legs.

Perfect kids pony


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.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around about every few years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again.

We have other horses and ponies available for viewings.

Photos and videos available upon request.

This is a post we as a family never wanted to write and we wish our daughter would be able to stay on her forever.

Peaches is a Dun, 13 Years old, Welsh section A mare.

She has taught my daughter EVERYTHING.
Peaches schools beautifully, has taught my daughter to learn to ride properly, she can ride with no stirrups, hacks everywhere, will stay at the back never strong or silly, has taught my daughter to canter/gallop in open fields, has even come hunting with us as a family, never silly, shes got manners to die for.

Always in the ribbons, dressage, showing, jumping.

She jumps for fun, taught my daughter to jump from poles on the floor to now comfortably around a good 55cm course with no hesitation.

Has attended ALL pony club activities, XC, mounted games, pony club camps, hacking rallies.
Gives all the small kids and big kids leads over the jumps and through the water.

Literally has been the biggest saint of a pony from the day she arrived with us 3 years ago.
She’s s taught our daughter to be brave, to laugh and giggle, she’s given her confidence and the best childhood we could ever have asked for as parents!

We have put off this advert all Summer as this will be one of the hardest things we will have to do as a family but we are now ready to move on to a bigger pony and we feel she’s way to good to be sat in our fields. Peaches now needs her next little jockey to teach the ropes!

We wont be giving her away as we know there are not many Peaches about that tick every parents box for their child.
Safety is everything.

Peaches is easy to do in all ways, loads, farrier, to catch. Has had all her vaccinations, regular dentist and physio.

She will come with her tack and rugs.

Peaches is open to vetting and available as from today.

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.

Paddy is the easiest pony to have at home, with a really laid back loveable nature

Paddy was 6th at Hoys in 2024

Was at london Int. 2023

Paddy was purchased as a junior /open pony for my daughter, however he stepped down beautifuly to contend a few novice first riddens ,before stepping up to juniors.

Recently turned his hoof to working hunter and came reserve supreme on his first attempt.

Happily jumps a course of show jumps and fences in the fields and out hacking ..

A lovely yes/can do attitude so would suit pony club /dressage/ wh Etc.

He is the perfect mannerly show pony and is very patient, or equally would be just as happy being a family all-rounder as he has proved so with us.

He is fantastic to hack alone and my daughter takes him off out by herself.

Will hack on the buckle or kick on across the stubble.

Hes a truly wonderful pony and easy to do in every way. However not suited to just off the lead rein. ( he has had no experience in this area with me )

Paddy has been adored in his previous homes and I'm sure they would all love to keep in touch..

MOTHERS DREAM SAFE AND SENSIBLE HUNT /1STPONY

Red and white 13.1hh cob pony for sale. Mare 12 years old. This will be a very honest, albeit very reluctant advert given Stella’s next bet friend is going to be a child.

Stella is the dream ridden hunt/hack pony. She has taken my girl from borderline scared to sit on a horses back to a lovely confident rider out that is out hunting every Saturday of the season. Stella is great to catch, shoe, clip etc. no vices at all. Will stand all day to be fussed, looks after even the most nervous of rider. She loads and unloads perfect on the trailer or wagon. We have Many many pictures and videos available and can also get references from a master. If you are looking to get your child out riding/hunting and gain confidence then Stella would be the dream.

She is impeccably mannered in the field, stands like a trooper at the meet, will do gates and wait patiently to be mounted, doesn’t stress when left. She will Leave the field happily and also happily be left. She will cross any water no matter the depth. Stella is never sick or sorry, never strong and silly and will give any child a good day. Stella’s absolutely flex is her safe and sturdy approach to everything she comes across. She knows where her feet need to be on trappy ground and will always strive to look after her rider. She has never bucked/reared/bolted etc.

Fabulous in all traffic and will hack alone or in company.

Stella will pop a small hunt fence and have a pop about at home up to 70cm. Stella isn’t a world beater in the jumping department but will always try her best, she will school lovely when asked however dressage etc isn’t of my daughters interest so we rarely do it. She likes to be out and about the same as her jockey. Stella will live in or out and is a real do gooder and a lovely genuine little pony that will make a little one a happy bunny.

We only wish she had another hand on her as my daughter is swiftly out growing her, 5 star home only as we have a distraught 13 year old who’s dreading saying goodbye. Any amount of pictures and videos. Vetting welcome and can also have a masters reference

Adorable 13.2hh 2017 Irish bay gelding.

This lovely little lad is used to being ridden and handled by small children, he’s been used as a fantastic family pony and is now outgrown.

Chips has hunted, he’s done showjumping shows, a handful of dressage tests, fun rides and pretty much a bit of everything else! He is an absolute sweetheart to ride and handle. Offering three lovely steady paces in the arena, with a fantastic steady canter, voice activated and a very uncomplicated and easy ride for any type of rider. He will jump coloured fences and XC fences all the same, doesn’t change in new environments and wants to get it right.

A genuinely lovely pony to hack out, brilliant in open spaces, chaotic environments and heavy / busy traffic, he doesn’t ride any different when alone or in company.

Chips is easy to have around, easy to do and a low maintenance type, a kind pony who loves children, likes to be groomed and pampered.

Open to any vet or trainer.

Ringo is a 7 year old, Palomino Mini Cob Gelding. I have owned him since he was 4 years old. He is a very steady chap and is very happy to trundle about, both in the school and out hacking. Ringo has worked in my riding school with beginners and novice riders, both on and off the lead rein.

Ringo is super to hack and is good in all traffic.

Ringo loves pony mornings where is he tied up and groomed by as many children as possible, standing very still to encourage the more nervous children.

Ringo is also super good to groom with some one in a wheelchair and is happy to be led from a wheelchair or mobility scooter.

Beautiful 2015 palomino gelding standing at 13hh (full up chunky type who massively takes up the leg) this gorgeous boy will stand for hours to be groomed and loved, he enjoys human coming and has a kind, sweet nature.

Teddy isn't going to win races, he's a steady, safe riding school type rather than a competition pony. He is a leg on ride, confidence giver, laid back lad and has the most lovely rocking horse canter which will teach the most wobbly of people to ride!

Teddy has previously worked in a riding school, he's great with nervous or novice riders, he will also work well on the lead rein, and is equally as good when off it, he will jump small fences in trot and canter and will look after his rider.

Teddy is absolutely wonderful to hack out when alone or in company, he would never hot up or get silly, he's a real easy going lad and will go out in the biggest, heaviest and scariest traffic you can find, a happy hackers dream pony.

This beautiful boy deserves the best of homes, open to any vet or trainer

Charlie has been part of our famly for 13 years, he has taught both my children to ride and been an incredibly hard act to follow when they have moved onto bigger ponies. I have yet to find another pony that can live up to his standards.

He is the kindest, safest competition pony. He is straight forward and scopey. His paces are correct we have won multiple Regional Team Quest dressage competions with him and he has been to the National Championships on more than one occasion. He is always double clear SJ and I can honestly count on one hand the number of faults he's ever had over the years.

He has done all PC rallies and various camps and been amazing. He's even good at mounted games and seems to understand the games and loves racing.

Never bucks, never rears, never bolts. He's never silly and can be ridden by a tiny jockey - he's even hunted and was the perfect childs ride and did not canter unless he was asked. He's won consistently SJ 50-80cm and will jump bigger but we have not affiliated him so he could start BSJA with 0 points. BD still eligible for Bronze sections. He's never been lame, he's fit and ready to continue with his next ride. Toddler could load him, catch him, handle him. Riding Club 'Pony of the Year' annual trophy winner with both daughters. He has mostly SJ with my youngest daughter recently winning 65, 70, 75cm most weekends and was top 3 in his sections at The Grassroots National Championships a couple of weeks ago. Sadly we have outgrown him.

5 star knowledgeable home is very important to us and this is going to be an emotional sale but we all want see him making another childs dreams come true. Would suit active PC home that aspires to correct riding and enjoys winning! He comes with his whole wardrobe, bridles, rugs, little 15' saddle and instruction manual. Also safe to hack in all traffic alone or in company. Worth his weight in Gold and open to any Vetting - owned by a Vet.

Fully vaccinated, teeth done regularly. I'm sure first to see him will buy him we have been asked by so many people if he's for sale over the years, somebody will be very lucky.

If you want to view more photos then Friend request me on Facebook and you can see all his pictures from 2013 to last week with both my daughters grinning with their rosettes from PC ODE Wins, SJ Hickstead, Regional dressage Wins etc

Meet Dublin aka Dubs, he is a Kerry Bog Pony… We had never heard of this breed when we were buying, but google it…

He is a 11hh Strawberry Roan aged 16.

Dubs 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 lead rein but he is forward enough and responsive enough to do both lead rein and 1.5 pony when the time is ready for little one to be let of the lead.

Dubs is a regular 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. Plenty of pictures can be shared of him in attendance. Dubs’ strength is mounted games where he stops at the poles for the cups, perfectly stands at the bucket to drop the sock etc.

Dubs’ lives on a working farm and 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.

Dubs loves to hack, and he is a fantastic to hack and is safe with all aspects of traffic, his previous home to us was a heavy haulage yard. We regularly cross a 4 lane by pass to get to the local park, he goes around the roundabout (via footpath) to the local ice cream shop and stands like a lamb whilst the traffic goes by.

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 has good stable manners and will listen my daughter to tell him get back for his food.

Dubs is excellent to catch, farrier- he is barefooted, vet, dentist, tack up, loaded by my daughter. He will be tied up on the side of the trailer eating a haynet whilst at shows/camps he isn’t silly and you can leave him whilst you and get sorted/sign in/get your child ready etc.

Dubs is has never been ill with us and has no sign of laminitis whilst with us, he is on stripped grazing on rich dairy grass, during the summer he is out at night and in during the day, during the winter, he goes out when he can as our land gets rather wet he stands on our yard with a net. He is a good doer and lives off hay and a balancer during the winter months.

Until he is sold Dubs will be in regular work with our local pony club, winter league mounted games session and will also continue his hacks around our village.

As a mum myself I want to know the pony’s quirks before hand as I don’t want to be wasting your time coming to see a pony who wont fit into your life.

Dubs’ Quirks

Dubs requires a standing martingale as he does moves his head up and down, once this on it does reduce. He increases his head movement when he is standing waiting his turn for a rally or mounted games wanting to go next- think of a chid asking ‘Mum Mum’ for attention. I have managed this with a little reminder to keep his space from the leader.

Dubs will also whizz out of an electric fence if it’s not on, or if there are less than two strips of tape on the post- my electric skills aren’t the best, but if hears the clicks he doesn’t escape.

Once the trailer has stopped moving Dubs can be a but stompy in the trailer- again showing his attention seeking side, he has never caused any damage to the trailer and loads of very easily by my daughter.

Dubs is a little pony with buckets of scope and talent to go far at shows, pony clubs and pony adventures. Once he has plats in he points his toes like a ballerina.

Only serious buyers to be in contact, Dubs will come with all his wardrobe including saddle, bridle with made to measure hooped reins, made to measure standing martingale and a few rugs.
