  • now ready to find her forever home

With Gracie, you are getting a sweet-natured, affectionate pony who also has the potential and talent to become a competitive pony and bring home the rosettes.

An eye-catching pony, professionally broken and turned away to mature, now brought back into work. Great on the ground, lunges well and proving to have great scope. Lovely to handle in and out the stable. She loads first time, travels well, and is generally a very easy-going girl.

Her size and build make her equally suited for children or lightweight adults, making her an excellent mother/daughter (son!) combination. She is now looking for her next home where she can continue to excel and be someone's childhood best friend. 

She has been here with me at the same home since a foal and has been brought on slowly and correctly to ensure she is a safe, happy pony with a willingness to please. She is easy to shoe, travel, and handle. She is happy to be stabled or living outdoors. She is fantastic to do in all ways.

Daisy Duke

Approx 13HH 6 year old mare

Ride & Drive

If your looking for SAFE!! Then here she is…..complete gem.

Daisy Duke has been both ridden and driven by children and adults. Nothing seems to phase her at all.

In the arena Daisy will work in an outline if ridden by a competent rider always tries her best, otherwise she more than happy to tootle around with the children on board. She will have a go over cross poles but she is by no means a jumper.

She is more whoa than go and the type that doesn’t need regular work. She is no world beater by no means but a safe, happy go lucky mare. We have often pulled her out of the field after weeks of not been ridden, loaded her up and gone hacking, beach trips etc.

I have mainly used her to hack and lead my little girl on her pony off her. I no longer have an harness so she hasn’t been driven for a while, I am more than confident you could yoke her up and she would be her usual self.

She is easy to handle by all the family including the children, great to load, bath, clip, with the farrier, will stand on the box etc.

Hacks alone or in company, great in open spaces.

Will live in or out with mares or geldings.

She is up to date with worming, teeth, feet etc.

The best of homes only need apply.

An elite and rare opportunity to acquire a top-quality dilute stallion with impeccable conformation, movement, and temperament.

He was backed last year and spent the winter/ spring developing into a confident riding horse, happily hacking alone and in company, also schooling lightly (green but very willing) he is now ready to further his education. His kind, laid-back nature is second to none, safely handled and ridden by my 9 year old niece, and consistently gentle in all situations.

Hermits Metallica has already proven himself both in-hand and under saddle, winning at county level on his debut with exemplary behaviour.

As a breeding stallion, he has been successfully used both in-hand and at liberty, getting all mares in foal on first cover. He is also dummy trained and extremely easy to collect from.

With striking colour genetics and prestigious Hermits Stud lineage, he is a dream find for any breeder seeking to introduce colour without compromising on breed type or temperament.

He will make a fabulous ridden/ In-hand show prospect or equally if gelded a wonderful childs best friend.

This is a really fantastic horse for anyone to build up their confidence, continue learning to ride and progress on.
Definitely a 1st and 2nd horse.

8yrs Schoolmistress

Exceptional mare with tonnes of experience for sale. She has spent the last two half years working in my riding school where she has been ridden by all level riders, from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before up to advanced riders where she participates in our flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he 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, Poppy will hack through the heaviest of very fast moving traffic without batting an eye lid, she is not perturbed by any kind of vehicles or farm machinery.

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 and bathed, she loves being pampered.

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

She is currently working in a hackamore as she has a gentle mouth and isn’t at all strong, you have 100% full control when ridden bareback in a head collar and lead rope, she is equally happy in a snaffle, she rides with absolutely no gadgets.
We prefer to ride a lot of our horses in hackamores or bit less bridles due to beginner rides sometimes balancing on the reins…… despite all our efforts.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble, she has no marish traits, isn’t clingy, she is happy to be stabled and turned out on her own.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot, she is equally happy to be shoed.
She is excellent to catch, load with the farrier, dentist and vet.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler when competing, cross country, showjumping, fun rides and beach rides.

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.
He 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.

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

We have a few horses and ponies available to purchase.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around every 2 years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again.

Stunning 14.1h 10 year old mare. If you’re looking for a safe but forward happy hacker she is your girly! She would hack all day long, alone and in company!

Good with heavy traffic, seen lorries, tractors. Brilliant in open spaces, she will happily walk around an open field or have a good canter and you will feel completely safe! She can have the odd spook you cant have no bombproof horse..

she will go in the school, shes not schooled up beautifully but if you just want to have a walk trot and canter around she will happily do this, but she wouldn’t tolerate this everyday!

Loves her jumping and got a brilliant jump! She will either step up for a confident rider has jumped up to 90cm at home. Or she will poodle over a cross pole in trot for less confident.

I wouldn’t want a complete novice on her as she doesn’t like a pully rider.

Up to date with worming and teeth.

Anymore questions please ask

Willow Blue - ‘Blue’

Blue is a cracking pony who will exceed in any discipline.

He has been stabled at a local college on working livery and was a student favourite.

Established in all 3 paces.

Doesn’t look at any fillers and hacks out in the heaviest of traffic.

He hacks alone and in company. I am yet to find something he spooks at!

Blue has seen lots of show jumps and solid fences.

Can live on his own or with a friend. Is currently turned out with another mare and 2 goats.

Currently living out but is stabled during the winter.

Will stand to be groomed all day. Is barefoot and good for the farrier.

I clip him out and isn’t phased by the clippers. No reason to clip him out other than aesthetically! ( no lumpy bumpy legs or anything!)

He is up to date with vaccinations/teeth/back.

Loads and travels like a rock - you wouldn’t know he’s on board!

Blue is NOT a novice ride. He is a ‘turbo cob’ with the heart of a prince and is as bold as a lion.

Only for sale as now proving too much for my novice niece and since recently having a baby, I just don’t have the time to do this pony justice.

He would suit a competent rider. He is fit and ready to go!

Happy to send multiple videos and photos.

A VERY sad sale.

  • Cob

  • Gelding
  • 4 years

  • Kind temperament
  • Quiet gelding only home
  • Well behaved and easy to handle for daily care

Memphis is a handsome 4-year-old gelding who is looking for a private, knowledgeable home where he can provide companionship to other playful geldings. Recently castrated, he is settling in well and showing a kind temperament with a willingness to bond with people.

Because he was a late-cut, the right set-up is important for him. He is currently being introduced to other young geldings and is getting on well in a small herd. He would be best kept with gelding-only company in a secure fenced environment where he can relax and feel safe.

Memphis is good to catch, enjoys a groom, and stands politely to have his feet picked out. He has been well-behaved for both the vet and farrier, making him straightforward to manage in daily care. He is currently adjusting to his new routine and surroundings, showing promising signs of settling comfortably.

With the right handling, Memphis can continue his backing and ridden work, making a future ridden project or be suitable for lead rein work. He will thrive in a quiet, settled environment with a patient, experienced handler to continue building his confidence and supporting his development. Please note he has only been lightly backed so far, he remains and ongoing blank canvas for someone to produce further.

Oh Holly, if only they were all like you!! Beautiful 13.2/13.3hh, red and white, 3yo, cob mare

Holly is the most affectionate pony on the planet! Yes she’s young but my gosh she’s a lot better mannered than my 16 year olds that’s for sure!! Already a huge hit with the kids. Loves to be pampered within an inch of her life. Will stand all day long for the kids to mess with her. Perfect to lead etc , so mannerly!

Lives in or out, loads and travels well, perfect to catch. Just a very very easy type!!

H is professionally broken and riding well. She hacks out in traffic , will walk / trot / canter in school / had a canter in the field and introduces her to the lead rein job. Understands all the basics with the most eldest attitude to work. A very switched on pony who picks things up really quickly. We don’t intend on doing a great deal with her while she’s here as that’s for her new owner to decide. She certainly had the correct nature for riding schools / RDA centre / therapy setting etc - with further production of course !!

Would equally be a super kids pony / family type / mother - daughter share

Green but safe and sane! Which is more than can be said for some triple her age!!

In a year’s time she will be work double what I’m asking now. She’s a star!!

Super cute, steady, sensible mini coblet LR/FR/the best happy hacker in the world

Only the best homes need to read on!

12.2hh piebald gelding, absolute darling of a mini cob, 14 years old and one of the kindest, wisest, most laid back ponies you'll find.

Absolutely loves his little people, thrives on cuddles, being groomed, and fussed over. Equally, he's very independent and doesn't need riding every day and isn't high management! He has worked in riding school for the last few years, taking the most nervous, novice and unbalanced children. Calm and kind to those with special needs too. Lots of mane and tail that he enjoys having brushed and turning into a unicorn! He would be a wonderful asset to an RDA or therapy type set up. Everyone who meets him is just drawn to cuddling him!

He adores his hacking and doesn't get strong or silly. If he's out with others he'd rather follow at his own pace he's doesn't get competitive and overtake. He will go first or in front, and regularly has to lead the spooky ponies past things like flappy plastic and tractors, as he just isn't fussed. He will also hack on his own but you'll need to use your legs! He's not nappy, just on the steady side!

Will step or pop over little jumps, and also rides quietly in the school/arena, but he's a best friend not a whizzy competition pony!

He awesome on the beach, doesn't mind the waves, the seaweed, jet skis, kites, or anything else! He will bravely lead other horses into the sea much bigger than him and happily trot off ahead through knee deep water if he's asked to.

If you want a safe steady friend for beach rides, fun rides hacking and enjoying life, he would love to meet you. He will give a little person the control enjoy riding and is the perfect step between lead rein and a 'proper pony'.

Good in all the traffic he's seen including tractors, combines, milk tankers, rattley cattle trailers, off road bikes, you name it. Can be loaded by small children and is a dream to travel and deal with away from home.

Is solid enough for a very little adult to tick over but we are looking for the kindest home where he will be a small persons/peoples everything. Price is negotiable if you can offer him the home he so deserves.

Comes with his tack, and some Le Mieux mini matchy stuff!

Up to date with farrier, teeth, worming and worm counts and physio.

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

She has been with us for a year now, she’s a very sweet girl who loves a fuss and a cuddle. She is well mannered and quiet to handle.

I bought her unseen and she came to me with locking stifles, which the seller did not disclose this to me. Her stifles have never actually locked in the time she has been with me and I have been closely following my vet and physio’s advice on how to strengthen her. Which we have seen vast improvements in her movement in this time and because of her age there is still a chance that she could grow out of this if she continues to be worked in a way to help strengthen her. And ideally she would continue to live out 24/7 because moving is far better for her than standing in a stable, she is however very happy to be stabled.

She has been professionally re-broken and ridden away by myself in walk and trot and has now had a few canters. She’s a very willing little mare and exceptionally honest. She is green as you would expect but is very rarely silly or spooky. She is a lovely stamp for a traditional cob and is a true leg at each corner with still a couple of years growing and filling out to do.

I have decided to sell her as she is as she will make someone a lovely riding pony for someone who wouldn’t have been able to afford her fully produced and without the locking stifles. Her price reflects this, I would normally be selling a pony like her for double what I am asking for her. I feel there must be a lovely home out there willing to put the work in and give her the forever home that she deserves. Homes will be vetted and she will not be sold unseen.

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

Forever homes ONLY please.

Messages preferred please as I am very busy right now, if I feel you potentially might be the right match/home for her calls can be scheduled

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.

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.

  • Beautifully marked and so eye catching

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a stunning young Traditional Cob mare who is destined for big things. She has all the attributes to be a winner whether that’s between the boards or in the show ring. Confirmationally she’s very well put together, beautifully marked and so eye catching. She really is a beautiful girl.

Patchy has the most fantastic paces, they are bold and flashy, making her turn heads! She is very well schooled for her age, proving to be very trainable and an absolute pleasure to ride. She is the one that we all fight over who’s going to ride her every day and is definitely a yard favourite! She has so much potential and would be a fantastic prospect for Petplans.

Patchy has just started jumping and will pop round a small course, totally unfazed by fillers. She has plenty of scope and would be a contender for BD CT Championships!

At home, she is a complete pleasure to have around on the yard. She is vice free, hacks alone and in company, 100% to catch, load, farrier ect.

Videos available on our Instagram page: Worcestershire Horse Agent.

Excellent trail facilities in Worcester.
