Frank is tempting more than any other to keep and produce. He has been to opening meet and provided a lovely and mannerly day and jumped a few timbers, he’s been cross country schooling and never said no and answered every question asked.

On the flat he’s been schooled a handful of times, but reflects a horse that has been worked on for years. He hacks alone and in company and is not spooky in the slightest will lead, stay cool in open space and hack alone with no stress.

He loads, clips, farrier, catch, leads politely. He is an exceptional stamp of traditional cob and received a comment of “that’s a horse of the year show cob” and I don’t doubt it.

Open to any vet, excellent trial facilities, transport can be arranged.

The following year he went out and competed a lot more and was always in the placings and even took champion again at north west champs in the open cob.

Not only does he love showing but he’s proven in dressage too.

Seth was with current owner 4years and he was sold on via myself in 2023 where he went on and competed in dressage.

In 2023/24 he competed in Team Quest and my quest qualifying for the regionals . With Individual scores average 68-71% at prelim.
He was then sold back to his original owner is 2024 where he’s done a few local shows winning every time out and show jumping to 75cm; proving to be not phased by fillers .

Seth is also a fan of his regular visits to the beach & fun rides.
He was previously based on a busy yard and is completely unfazed by all that goes on around him.

He hacks out alone and in company
Lovely straight forward ride and aims to please

Hes good for the farrier
good to bath and good to load

He has been out with both mares and geldings and is no issue and he is handled by young kids on the ground no issue.

Daisy is a very sweet, 8 year old, mare.

We have owned Daisy for 4 years and along with showing her inhand we have bred 2 lovely coloured foals off her.

This year we backed daisy Who took to it straight away. She has walked and trotted on the lead rein but no jockey to continue her work. I have no doubt that Daisy will be easy to carry on her education off the lead.

Daisy qualified for STARS in 2022 in 2 classes but unfortunately due to having a foal at foot, wasn’t able to compete at the final.

We feel Daisy needs to go on and do a job and could excel in the junior ridden coloured classes.

Alternatively Daisy would be a fantastic broodmare. She has covered and foaled easy both times, she is an excellent mother and breeds lovely small foals.

Not available until after STARs

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.

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!!

Castle Hill Black Jack
2013 | 14.1hh | Gelding | Dales Pony

A truly special gelding, “Jack” is now searching for his perfect forever partner. This is a very reluctant sale of a kind, talented, and striking Dales pony with so much to offer in the right hands.

Basic Information

Name: Castle Hill Black Jack
DOB: 02/10/2013
Height: 14.1hh
Breed: Dales Pony
Sex: Gelding (gelded 2021)

Discipline & Experience

Originally purchased by The Nipna Stud to introduce a new bloodline, where he sired 16 foals – several of which have gone on to qualify for HOYS.

Since being gelded at 8, Jack was purchased back and produced by the talented and very well-known Sarah Parker. I have been in contact with all his previous owners, so I know his full history.

His original homes previous had more of a high level showing focus with professional producers riding him. It was felt it was more suited as an allrounder with a more varied life.

He has adapted beautifully to a more varied ridden lifestyle and continues to thrive.

Jack has enjoyed a varied career so far, with a strong foundation in showing, dressage, hacking, beach rides and fun rides.
County-level and local show success, consistently placed and proven quality.

Temperament & Personality

Jack is a kind-hearted, genuine pony with not a bad bone in his body.
Affectionate, intelligent, and quick to learn.

He can be cheeky at times but thrives with routine and consistency and boundaries. He Loves attention, enjoys pampering, and is safe enough to carry small children when asked.

He would truly excel in a 1-to-1 home where he can build a strong partnership.

A good doer – happy living in or out, alone or in a herd. Despite being stabled and turned out next to mares, he couldn’t be less bothered and regularly hacks out with both mares and geldings. You would never know his was previously a stallion!

Due to his later start under saddle, he has low mileage and is still a little green in places but shows excellent potential with the right level rider, time and empathetic yet firm partner.

Training & Handling

Good to shoe, clip and catch.
Excellent with the farrier, dentist and vet.

Well-mannered on the ground providing consistent but clever enough to test a novice – thrives with confident, consistent handling.

Health & Maintenance

5-stage vetting undertaken in 2022 (available for viewing)
No ongoing health issues or maintenance requirements
Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, farrier, physio, and saddler

He has transitioned beautifully from a structured mainly schooling and showing life to a natural herd environment with plenty of forage and freedom.

Rider Suitability

Jack would suit a competent, confident rider who can offer him boundaries, consistency, and encouragement as he can sometimes lack confidence. But he does hack alone and in company

He is not a “novice project,” but he is a genuine, safe pony in the right hands.

Would excel in a varied home enjoying hacking, showing, and fun outings.
Has previously jumped (not with current owner) and would enjoy a rider keen to explore this further.

Achievements & Highlights

16 offspring sired at The Nipna Stud – proven quality bloodlines
Strong county-level and local level record with multiple ribbons
Last show outing: Reserve In-Hand Champion & Ridden Champion
Stunning presence, correct conformation, and true-to-type movement

Price & Location

£14,000 ONO – negotiable for the perfect home
Tack and rugs available under separate negotiation

Based in East Sussex.

The Right Home

This is a heartbreaking and reluctant sale.

I am focusing on bringing on my younger Dales, and Jack deserves the time and consistency to truly shine that I am not able to offer him, I just want the best for him.

Potential homes will be carefully vetted – Jack will only go to someone who can offer him the love, attention, and fulfilling, varied lifestyle he deserves.

Castle Hill Black Jack is a rare opportunity to own a top-quality Dales gelding with a proven show record and endless future potential.

Serious enquiries only, no LWVTB, open to vetting.

The most important thing for Jack is to find his forever home that he can enjoy and thrive with a best friend to have the best life together.

I am not in a rush to sell him and he will only go to the most suitable home.

Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

100’s of photos and videos available on request.

  • Good alrounder
  • Very willing to learn

Jackson is a stunning, kind, and talented 5-year-old gelding, currently standing at approximately 14.3hh and still growing.

He is a super loving boy who thrives on attention and is always keen to come in and do something, even if it's just for a cuddle! He is ready to find his next partner to continue his education and reach his full potential.

Training & Experience

I have owned Jackson since he was a yearling and have professionally overseen his entire training program, including all groundwork and backing. He was professionally backed and has been backed for a year and is progressing beautifully.

He is working well and confidently:


Ridden Work: He hacks out calmly, enjoys polework, and has popped over a small cross pole. He is happy to be in work and is progressing well in his flatwork.
Groundwork: He is excellent on the long rein and lunge. He is very sensible and well-desensitized—I have done extensive groundwork showing him 'scary' things like plastic bags, and he has even had tarpaulin placed on his back and over his head, and will walk over it.
Temperament: He's a lovely horse who responds best to a confident rider to help him relax and flourish. He is generally very sensible but, as a young horse, is still seeing new things for the first time—for example, he had a slight reaction to cyclists on his first encounter but was fine with them soon after.

Breath taking 14.1hh 5 year old rare In temperament & colour dapple cob gelding. He really is like something out of the movies. Full of feather and mane that’s not far from the floor!

He is amazing in every way and so kind. He’s never had a bad experience with people and has had the best upbringing. Will load without a head collar, go to arena hires, hack to the moon and basically give anything his best shot.

Very low maintenance and I would trust him with anyone/children in the box, never been mean in his life. He’s a pleasure to take out & be around.. he’s not lazy but also not too forward, The normal things you shouldn’t do to any horse you could with him, would never kick or bite, I don’t think it’s possible to have an accident! Might nibble for a treat if you have some in your pockets.

Great with traffic, he’s a ride & drive, extremely versatile. I cannot sing his praises enough! There are no quirks, good with farrier & to clip. Will stand to be bathed without being tied up.

Has done all types of fun rides he really does deserve his forever home and only five star homes need apply as I owe it to him to make sure he has just as wonderful future as he has upbringing. open to any bloods and vettings.

She’s very brave and jumps whatever she’s pointed at without question. She has a neat and careful technique over a fence. Has been ridden in dressage boards and would produce a sweet test.

Bella is brilliant to hack, she goes out in the woods and out on the road for miles on her own and in company, she’s sensible in all types of traffic. Bella enjoys beach rides, she happily walks on a loose rein and goes in the water, and loves a good canter when asked!
She’s been ridden out with hounds and behaved impeccably, she will be a fantastic hunting pony for this season. She’s bold and will take on hunt fences. She’s good to ride in open spaces on her own or out in groups.

Bella has been ridden and handled mostly by a 10yr old girl, who has done the majority of the work with her in Ireland. Always snaffle mouthed, not strong. Responsive enough to the leg, she’s not a kick along cob and has plenty of stamina in her, she’s happy to keep working. She will be a wonderful pony club pony for rallies and camps. You can have a wobble on her she doesn’t take offence, and can do round the world, stand on her back etc. Has been lead around on lead rein with a 4yr old boy. She’s a true family pony.

Bella comes to call in the field. She is good to clip (does get twitched for legs, please note she doesn’t like her legs being handled, however you can pick all four feet up to hoof pick). She is also perfect to shoe, great to load, travel, bath, tack up. She can occasionally pull a face in the stable.

I imported Bella from Ireland in August, I am still in touch with her old owner who very much loved her. She passed a five stage vetting on purchase with me, and she is open to any viewings and further vetting.

A 13.1hh, 12-year-old bay cob mare, Pebbles embodies the qualities every rider dreams of in a pony: steady, safe, and endlessly patient.

She is a true schoolmistress who brings out the best in everyone she meets.

What sets Pebbles apart is not only her experience but her natural ability to connect with her rider. She knows her job and performs it with quiet confidence. Her paces are balanced and steady, yet she is responsive and willing to work into a soft outline for more experienced riders. She approaches every task with enthusiasm and never displays a trace of sharpness or stubbornness. Whether schooling in the arena or out on a fun ride, she is sensible, enthusiastic, and utterly dependable.

She loads, travels, and clips without fuss and is equally happy stabled or turned out, either in a herd or alone. She is currently barefoot, sound, and has no vices or health issues.

  • professionally backed
  • Top class and will go all way in the right hands

Triple inhand graded stallion (BSPA / CHAPS / TGCA) ( ridden graded with TGCA and CHAPS)

I’ve owned Cody since he was 6month old he is now 5 he has had a great inhand career with just some results being reserve overall supreme at bsps championships / won burwarton show / won and champion at royal Welsh small holding show and 3rd royal Windsor. He has been professionally broken and had a great start with his ridden education and now being continued in his novice showing season with being at equifest 2025 with great results.

He is good to hack alone or in company good to catch.

He has established 3 paces but is NOT a novice ride he can throw a cheeky buck in and must be confident with stallions.

In the right hands I know he will go all the way but he needs someone that can put the time into him which i currently do not have.

Have loads of photos from 6 months old upwards . Based in Worcestershire
