Stunning 10-Year-Old Welsh Section D Mare – 14.2hh

Beautiful 14.2hh, 10-year-old Welsh Section D mare, bred by Keenleyside Show Cobs.

A striking mare with excellent conformation, plenty of presence, and a lovely temperament. She is a real head-turner who always attracts attention wherever she goes and has been a much-loved member of our family.

She has three lovely paces, a willing attitude to work, and always tries her best for her rider. She has been ridden and produced by my daughter, who was only 11 years old and relatively inexperienced when we bought her, and she has taught her a huge amount, helping to build her confidence and experience massively.

She has enjoyed a varied lifestyle with us, including hacking, schooling, riding club activities, showing, and jumping.

She hacks happily both alone and in company, is sensible and straightforward to ride, and is a pleasure to handle on the ground. She is good to clip, shoe, load, travel, and stands well for the farrier, dentist, and vet. She is extremely easy to manage day to day and is equally happy living out 24/7 or being stabled.

She does crib-bite, which has been easily managed and has never affected her health, condition, performance, or general management.

She would suit a child, teenager, or small adult looking for a genuine, quality pony to enjoy and continue producing. She would also make a fantastic mother-and-daughter share.

This is a very genuine and sad sale as my daughter is now focusing solely on British Showjumping, and we feel this lovely mare deserves a home where she can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated.

A kind, honest mare with so much to offer, looking for her next long-term home.

Poppy is the most genuine pony she loves attention and will stand all day to be groomed and fussed over. She is very well bred with Hazy Dawn lines. She has 3 nice paces and works in a contact. The kids can even ride her bare back. Been to local shows where she has behaved impeccably often being placed in the showing classes.

She has started jumping and is showing to be bold and brave currently jumping 70/80cm with scope for more in time. Been x country schooling where she was fantastic cantered in and out of the water and was brilliant in the open spaces. Hacks out alone and in company and isn’t phased by traffic. She has never put a foot out of place, she is a really genuine pony with a heart of gold who only wants to please. She will turn her hoof to anything. Very level headed. Someone will have lots of fun with her. Doesn’t buck, nap, rear etc.

About Digger

Digger has everything you could want in a young Traditional: quality, conformation, movement, trainability and temperament.

He is beautifully schooled for a 4-year-old, with balanced paces and a genuine willingness to work. He is a quick learner with an excellent attitude and has proved himself in the show ring against strong competition.

Away from the show ring, he is an exceptionally kind, affectionate and sensible horse. He has been handled by children and is a pleasure to have around.

He is also a fantastic hack and regularly rides out with mares. He is sensible, straightforward and enjoyable to take out.

Apple, 148cm, 7yo mare.

Apple came over from Ireland as a 3yo, she was backed by myself and has been slowly produced.

Together we have pretty much had a go at everything, showing where she was pulled Champion, working hunter, 1st & 2nd, eventing (many wins and many placing, inc 1st Princethorpe 2DE, 1st Solihull Cotswold cup, 1st shelford eventer trial, 2nd nortondisney eventer trial. Constantly scoring low 20s, qualified for quest semi finals always 70% plus, I think she has actually won every time out!

Beach stay away holidays, yard Christmas rides, pub rides, sponsored rides. You name it we’ve probably done it!

Apple is a lovely pony to have at home and take out.

Good to catch, clip, plait, bath, farrier, load, happily turns out with geldings.

Lives in or out on a working farm, not worried if not ridden for a month or ridden everyday, she doesn’t change.

Hacks alone or in company can be left out/ in a stable on her own. Take her in any open space and be safe.

Unfortunately Apple was brought as a project, I’ve kept her this long as I’ve absolutely loved working with her and she’s actually found my love for competing again. I have so much to thank her for. She enjoys her work, the jolly type you get on and instantly just puts a smile on your face.

Competing at 80, recently stepped up to 90 showjumping where she was quite happy doing so.

I’d love to find her a home to give her a varied life like she’s had with me.

She hasn’t be grilled in the school, we hack most days which she loves.

A home for life would be my top choice, she doesn’t deserve to be passed around, she truly is the sweetest girl with a heart of a lion and this is a heartbreaking sale.

She is not a novice ride, still young and not a dope on a rope.

Beautiful 14hh, 11-year-old cob mare looking for a knowledgeable, loving forever home.

She is a kind mare with a lovely character and is a pleasure to have around the yard. She is good to catch, groom, tack up, load, travel and for the farrier.

She enjoys getting out and about and has attended Pony Club activities and fun rides and is used to a variety of environments. She particularly enjoys hacking in company.

She would suit someone looking for a fun all-rounder to enjoy a variety of activities together.

She is an intelligent, opinionated mare and can be mareish at times. She benefits from consistent handling, clear boundaries and a confident, capable rider who understands her. She can be sensitive and will occasionally test her rider, so she is not a suitable novice or first pony. With the right person, she is great fun and has plenty to offer.

She is up to date with vaccinations, worming, dentist and farrier.

This is a genuine and very sad sale of a much-loved pony. Experienced, knowledgeable home absolutely essential.

  • 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.

Most versatile and talented pony to be available after Pony Club champs in the first week of September!

Our beautiful boy has been hopelessly outgrown, and we are heartbroken to be writing this advert, but at nine years old he still has his prime ahead of him and he deserves to give another child all the joy and fun he has given us.

He has taken my nervous, eleven year old daughter from popping around 50cm courses to competing in the International Arena at Hickstead at 85cm in the NSEA finals.

Noteable achievements:

2026

Qualified for the Pony Club Spring Barrier Festival Champs in Arena Eventing, Show Jumping and Dressage.

Was part of the second placing team in Arena Eventing 85cm with two double clears

Two double clears and a top ten place at 85cm SJ.

Two double clears at 70cm

Finished mid way down the table in dressage.

Is part of the NSEA County Champ Team at 75cm

Has qualified for Pony Club Regional Champs in dressage and SJ. We were unable to attend the eventing qualifiers.

2025

2nd place in first ever Cotswold Cup

Qualified for Sunshine Tour in SJ (70&80cm), WHP, Dressage and Arena Eventing. Sadly we were unable to attend the champs themselves.

Qualified for the International Arena at Hickstead at 85cm NSEA Champs - this has been postponed in 2026 due to the weather.

Various other Pony Club, NSEA & other unaffiliated events.

Has competed in some WHP shows, which is not really our thing, but has done well, and I believe he would do well in this.

He is good for, and up to date with farrier, vacinations, dentist and maintenance physio. He lives in or out happily.

My daughter, who is small for her age has been able to look after him independently from the day we got him, including loading him into our lorry.

The transformation in my daughter’s confidence and riding ability has been remarkable thanks to this gorgeous pony.

Substantial budget required for him, and we will be picky about where he goes!

Our stunning cream dun colt is available for sale at weaning. 

Bramble has been very well-handled from birth, he is good with the farrier, walks out well in hand and is used to being both groomed and bathed. 

By the well-renowned Highland stallion Glenwestcastle Loch Rannoch, out of Cathkin Katie Rose, Bramble is an exciting future showing and breeding prospect. Equally, with his exceptional temperament, he will make a super general purpose pony and friend. 

Bramble has taken part in our small equine assisted learning programme from the age of two months and therefore whilst he is not over-handled for his age, he has met with a variety of different people ( and dogs!) already, both young and old.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I offer Daisy, my beautiful 5-year-old registered Welsh Cob mare, standing approximately 14.1hh.

Daisy has exceptional breeding, with renowned bloodlines including Hendrewen Gold Express, Derwen Railway Express, Murrayhall Inspiration, Trevallion Jerome and Nebo Black Magic. Her pedigree combines traditional Welsh Cob quality, athleticism and temperament.

Daisy is an absolute pleasure to have on the yard and has the sweetest, most loving personality. She genuinely enjoys being around people and will happily stand for hours being groomed and fussed.

She is:

🩷 Good to catch

🩷 Good to groom

🩷 Good for the farrier

🩷 Good for the dentist

🩷 Good to load and travel

🩷 Happy to hack alone or in company

🩷 Has enjoyed arena work, jumping and cross-country

🩷 Up to date with vaccinations

🩷 Up to date with dentist

🩷 Up to date with farrier

🩷 Up to date with back/bodywork

Daisy is an eye-catching mare with a lovely, expressive way of going and has shown plenty of ability over fences. She is brave, willing and enjoys her work, making her a lovely prospect for someone wanting a talented young Welsh Cob to continue producing.

As Daisy is still a young mare, she is not suitable for a novice rider. She is looking for a confident, experienced home that understands young horses and will continue her education with patience, consistency and kindness.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision, and her forever home is far more important than the price. Daisy deserves someone who will appreciate her wonderful nature and recognise the quality and potential she has.

With her exceptional bloodlines, athletic ability and loving temperament, I truly believe Daisy has all the ingredients to become an outstanding horse. We are looking for a knowledgeable five-star home where she can continue to flourish and become everything we know she is capable of.

Serious enquiries only, please.

  • Perfect 2nd pony

We've had Henry for over 2 years, he was my daughters first owned pony. He is 13.2h and she has now outgrown him so this will be a very difficult sale as he really is a fantastic pony. They've developed each other and have both gained so much confidence. Henry is a quick learner and is very good in the school, on hacks and absolutely loves jumping. He has lovely paces, slow and quick! He can be very forward (loves a gallop) so is an ideal second pony, not a novice ride. He does occassionally spook and get excitable, but in general he is a little superstar. He's very well behaved in the stable, happy to be groomed, good to tack up and very good with farrier (black hoofs, barefoot), dentist and jabs etc which are all up-to-date. He happily lives in a herd with other ponies, cobs and thoroughbreds.

Henry is 6 years old, with so much potential, perfect for someone who wants to do show jumping, cross country and pony club etc. We have limited transport but we have taken him to local shows. He's good to load, perfectly behaved when traveling and has not been phased being in different places or arenas. He's been jumping 70/80cm on a regular basis (has jumped 90cm) and requires a good rider to keep giving him confidence to continue his development. He will really excel in all areas and needs a loving, active home to keep him physically fit and busy.

No nervous riders, novices, time wasters or dealers. Only the best home for this one in a million pony!

Available to view and try in lovely facilities in North West Leicestershire. Happy to include tack and rugs etc.

14.2hh, 15-year-old Gelding – Welsh/Haflinger (Welsh Passport)

Ideal Pony Club, Riding Club & NSEA Pony

A much-loved second pony looking for his next best friend. He’s not a novice ride as he takes confidence from his rider, but there isn’t a bad bone in his body and he’ll try his heart out for you if you tell him he can.

He is a genuine all-rounder who loves having a job and thrives on routine. He’s been there, done it and got the T-shirt – Pony Club rallies, camps, stay-aways and competitions.

Currently:

* Competing at Novice Dressage with a recent score of 69% at BD County level (Prelim Inter-County Team).

* Happily jumping 85–90cm unaffiliated and training higher at home.

* Qualified for and attended numerous championships during his time with us (PC & RC).

He takes up the leg well and I (5’7”) can happily ride him, making him a potential mother/child share, or suitable for a parent to keep ticking over if needed.

He really enjoys hacking and is happiest in company.

His ideal home:

He absolutely must have all-year turnout (even if only for a few hours each day). He needs to get out of his stable and be a pony. When he had restricted turnout he became a little sour in the stable and could be fresh in the school. Since moving to a yard where he’s turned out regularly, he has been an absolute angel and is a much happier pony. Finding him the right home is far more important to us than anything else.

Good to:

* Shoe

* Clip

* Travel (can take 5–10 minutes to load but has never been an issue)

In the three years we’ve owned him he has never been sick or sorry, and at 15 he’s certainly not ready to slow down. He’s fit, happy and ready to have lots of fun with his next person.

Two sets of tack and a full wardrobe of rugs available by separate negotiation.

Based in East Hertfordshire.

Serious enquiries only please – this special boy deserves the very best of homes.

12hh Registered Dartmoor Gelding | 17 Years | Exceptional First Ridden / Lead Rein

Max is a beautiful, talented 12hh registered Dartmoor gelding with lovely paces and an equally lovely personality.

We have owned Max since April, but he is sadly too much pony for my very small 5-year-old, who is now wanting to come off the lead rein. I had hoped he would be a FYFR and to an extent he absolutely is, but he would be better suited to a slightly bigger child or stronger child. My daughter is simply too small and finds his paces too big she is very petite.

My 9-year-old daughter and her friends absolutely adore riding him, but she already has her own pony, which is the only reason he is available.

Max is an absolute saint on the lead rein. He happily works in this role, is kind and genuine, and has been ridden by my youngest with complete confidence. However, as we already have a dedicated lead rein pony, we simply can't justify keeping two.

Off the lead, Max has been ridden by my eldest daughter and her friends in all three paces, and they all thoroughly enjoy him. He is willing, straightforward and has beautiful movement.

Max has attended many shows since been with us. He has competed at:

Lincolnshire County Show

The Great Yorkshire Show in prestigious HOYS Lead Rein and First Ridden classes

Arena UK

BSPS shows

London International Horse Show qualifier, where he was placed 6th in a large First Ridden Working Sports Pony class.

He has also attended Pony Club activities and has proven to be an exceptional dressage pony. He has won at every dressage outing with us and I genuinely believe this is an area where he could really excel. Most recently, he competed at Pony Club Area Dressage, producing a lovely test with a rider who had only sat on him once beforehand.

Max also has a fantastic jump. We haven't focused heavily on jumping during our ownership, but everything he has done has been very promising, and we will continue to develop this while he remains with us.

He has already qualified for the Amateur of the Year Final at Stoneleigh Park this November in both the Lead Rein and First Ridden classes, and these qualifications will transfer to his new home.

This is a genuinely heartbreaking sale, and one I have thought long and hard about. Max deserves a home where he can continue to fulfil his potential and be enjoyed by a child who is the right size and stage for him. He is a quality pony with a wonderful temperament and so much more to offer.

Serious enquiries only, please. The right home is far more important than a quick sale.

Teddy is a very smart 11 year old gelding, with a super character and brain.

Measures 12.2hh at home with front shoes on, so should measure in under the new system.

He is established at 70/80 BS, however, has competed in 90cm classes and jumped 1m at home.

He is forward going and can be strong but is never nasty, just enthusiastic. Handled by children, loves being groomed and fussed over. Can be headstrong on the ground at times, so needs an experienced home with competent adults.

Hacks alone or in company and leads off of another horse.

He has attended many stay aways and pony club camp.

THISTLEDOWN SILKY LUSTRE 🐴

12.2hh Welsh Section B Gelding age 15 – Fun All-Rounder / Second Ridden

Sadly, the time has come to find our much-loved Thistle a new home, as my daughter has simply outgrown him. If I could make her stop growing, he wouldn't be going anywhere!

Thistle is a 12.2hh Welsh Section B with a typical Welsh personality – full of character and always keeps you smiling! 😂

He loves his jumping and is currently competing at 60cm showjumping, where he regularly comes home with the rosettes. At home, he has confidently jumped up to 80cm and really enjoys his work. He’s taken my daughter from courses of X Poles to this height. We’ve had him out at XC and done a little dressage test with him.

Because Thistle can occasionally throw in an excitable little buck when he's feeling fresh or enthusiastic, I would describe him as a second ridden rather than a first pony. It's never anything dangerous or malicious, and it's nothing big

He can be turned out in a herd or happy to be by himself

Recently attended his 1st pony club rally with us at XC & BS Club show where he behaved brilliantly an picked up his first points

Will produce a lovely dressage test

Upto date with everything

Can come with or without full wardrobe

Available from beginning of summer after ESUK

Just found out this week qualified for KBIS National Club Junior 60cm Final

This is a heartbreaking sale, so finding the right home is far more important than a quick sale. He deserves a family who will love him as much as we do and continue having lots of fun with him.

We are on the hunt for that pony. 🦄

You know the one.

The mothers dream pony. The schoolmaster. The “why on earth are they selling this?!” type. The one you’ve considered having more children for…

Looking for:

🐴 12.2–13hh, gelding preferred (but a non-mareish mare very welcome!)

🐴 Kind, forgiving, mannerly & genuinely unflappable

🐴 100% in open spaces — we live on a farm, so no hedges to cling to!

🐴 Hacks alone & in company

🐴 Happy taking a small 9yo from 50cm towards 70cm without drama

🐴 Pony Club, school teams, hacking & generally being a child’s best friend

Our rider has a beautiful seat and hands and currently jumps 50cm out and 60cm+ at home on a saintly type.

What they absolutely don’t need: mind games, drama or “character building” via unexpected flying lessons. 😂

We’re looking for confidence, not chaos — the sort that encounters excitement and thinks, “Absolutely not. I’m a professional.”

The home is experienced, knowledgeable and slightly obsessive, on a farm with turnout, routine and a varied life. This pony will want for nothing.

We know these unicorns are rarely advertised… but if you have a special little legend looking to step down, be adored and make a child’s world, please get in touch. Emotional sellers very much welcome. ❤️

💰 Low 5 figures available for the right pony

📍 Ideally within 2 hours of Dorset

Please share — you never know where the unicorn is hiding. 🦄
