Ryefield Lady Pippa (Taincwm Yolanda X Hilgarth Lucky Legend)

Rising 5 year old chestnut mare out of Taincwm Yolanda (Taincwm Welsh model X caerneuad hywel) and by royal Welsh ridden C champion and multi times hoys qualified Hillgarth Lucky Legend.

Lady is currently standing at 13hh

She was shown as a foal and yearling with success.
Lady was broken last year and ridden away in walk trot and canter. Super easy to do and a lovely willing attitude to anything asked of her.

Lady was turned away at the end of last year so is currently living out.

Due to work commitments and a lack of time she is tentatively looking for a loving 5 star home.

She has always been around children and I feel she would suit a family home/ Junior jockey or equally a lovely flat/worker pony for a small adult

Very sad sale and a 5 star home is essential for her.

Good to do in all ways up to date with all vaccinations.

Based Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Has been well schooled & educated as best I can! She has lovely manners and is genuinely a nice easy going member of society... careful jump not spooky doesn’t stop.

Will do well in any chosen sphere. Not for a novice or nervous rider. has done lots of cross country training and hunt fun rides.

All Rounder Children’s Pony 10yr old, grey mare, 12hh all rounder pony looking for their next little jockey to have fun with. A real confidence giver who has done a bit of everything.

Happy to be a on the lead rein or ride out the front on her own.

Attended Pony Club rallies and activities, proving to be sensible, willing and easy to handle. She has been lightly hunted. She leads of the big hunters.

Has been with the current owner for 3 years, used for a small child to have fun with, sadly for sale as the child has lost interest.

Would happily suit a child looking for a step up or a family wanting a pony for all occasions. Kind nature, genuine and straightforward. Good to catch, groom, clip, load, trim feet and handle.

Pingu is such a lovely mare, I will be sad to see her go but excited to see her out having fun. Will come with full wardrobe!

Lots more photos and videos available.

  • Loves to hack out and is safe in open spaces
  • Taken part in a host of pony club activities including camp
Gem is a little chestnut mare looking for her next rider. This little pony has taken part in a wide range of Pony Club activities including camp, dressage, jumping, games, and plenty of rallies.
Gem would suit a confident child as a first pony or make a lovely 1.5 pony for a rider wanting to do more. She would also suit a lead rein home.

She is safe to hack, sensible in open spaces, and enjoys being ridden in company most. Gem thrives in a group environment, making her ideally suited to a home with other ponies or a yard where children ride together.

Gem is not strong, goes nicely off little legs and is more “whoa” than “go.” She enjoys jumping and polework and will happily canter round courses of 50–60cm. She has also done low-level mounted games and small cross-country courses, including water.
Gem doesn’t like being tied up outside for hours and prefers to be brushed and tacked up in her stable.

Travels alone or with company in both lorry and trailer.
She is fully up to date with the dentist and vaccinations and will now not need these until next year. She is barefoot and has excellent feet.

We are very fond of Gem and we want her to be loved as much in her next home as she is with us.

She is only 5years old although never does anything nasty she still can be green at times so no complete novices.

Does have a small scar on her front leg from when she was a baby getting stuck in a fence but does not affect her in any way!

  • Such a genuine nice pony who will go far

Lily, 14.1hh, 15 years, skewbald cob who oozes presence. She has a beautiful genuine and kind nature inside and out.

She is like a rubber ball with her versatility, whether that be stepping up for a more mature rider or looking after a keen but novice rider.

Previously, she has been out to some local dressage shows, and had been training at home at Novice/Elementary level. She excels in dressage and although she has a little experience in jumping, she is capable of doing more. She is light in the contact and will stop when asked. She is forward and does not require a strong rider.

Lily has been in light work for the past two years enjoying on and off hacking due to business commitments, and has now been brought back into full work and is doing fantastically.

She has too much talent to go to waste, hence being up for sale. She deserves to find a competent jockey who she could go out and win with! 

She is bombproof in traffic and will hack out alone or in company on the buckle. She will happily canter in an open field, in front or behind without any silliness. She does not spook and has no vices.

Whilst she is forward, she is safe and reliable. She has been in the same home for the last 10 years, and is much loved. She has always been unshod and is good with the vet, farrier, to clip, travel and for the dentist.

All vaccinations up to date. Lily does have her hocks injected

Meet Marlie - A very sweet genuine pony who is easy to do in all ways. Fantastic all round confidence giving pony who will do all kind of jobs from happy hacking, pony club, riding club, RDA , riding school.

He has attended pony club with a novice 13year old girl and was good as gold. He enjoys being pampered by anyone and loves having a job to do. He can be ridden by a variety of people he takes up your leg and is a comfy ride.

He would make a smart show ring cob as he has lovely movement and is well put together. He would be an ideal contender for stars or search for a star.

Has been ridden in an indoor arena and out in open fields. He will pass any traffic and hack for hours on end.

He loads and travels well.

He has come from a family home where he is very much loved but sadly riding interest has dropped and he is just sitting in the field being wasted very sad sale.

Currently being schooled and brought back into fitness, he is green but genuine and taking everything in his stride. A nice forward thinking type.

Priced at just above mid 4's but his price will increase the more we do with him.

No timewasters. He is a lovely pony who deserves a fantastic home where he will have lots of fun.

This is such a sad sell, Poppie has taught my daughter how to ride but now my daughter is moving on and needs something more.

Poppie goes amazingly on the flat loves her jumping and hacks alone or with company very good with traffic, amazing to load, clip and for the dentist and the vet and also really good with other horses she loves everyone.

She has been to many shows and a lot of champs for showing and has also done a few working hunters.

Poppie is also a very safe pony if you wanted to put a child on her and she would be fab.

My daughters dream was always to get her to HOYS but she has out grown her, now she wants some one else to get her there, this is such a sad sell but we really want her to go to a happy home and hopefully achieve everything she could of done if my daughter if she didn't out grow Poppie.

  • Ideal mother daughter share
  • Beautiful looks and nature
  • A pleasure to own

Heartbreaking sale of our much-loved family pony, Annie.

Annie is a beautiful 14.2hh sports cob who has been the most incredible first pony for my daughter. She has taken her from a complete novice to confidently and competitively jumping 80cm courses, enjoying fun days hunting, pony club camp, beach rides, and countless happy hours hacking.

Quite simply, Annie is the best kind of pony — kind, genuine, brave and endlessly fun. This is an extremely sad sale as she has been such a huge part of our family, but my daughter is now ready to step up to something more competitive. While Annie is wonderfully capable, she isn’t an out-and-out competition pony and wouldn’t thank you for being out showjumping every weekend — although she would happily go hunting week in, week out!

She absolutely loves to jump and is bold and brave to a fence. She adores hacking and is a pleasure to have on the yard — easy to do in every way. She loads herself, stands quietly on the trailer for hours, is good to shoe (currently shod in front only with excellent feet), and good to clip (a little ticklish on her legs so requires mild sedation for those).

Annie is not mareish, never sick or sorry, and is up to date with everything. She has previously done RDA and is wonderfully mannerly, although she isn’t a complete push-button — she has a little character and can be cheeky at times, but never nasty.

She would make the perfect mother/daughter share or a fantastic all-rounder for a loving family wanting a safe, fun and capable pony to enjoy a bit of everything.

We are looking for the very best home where she will be loved as much as she is here. Homes will be vetted.

A truly heartbreaking sale of a very special pony. 

Comes with full wardrobe.
