'Lavender' Stunning 11.2 rising 7 Registered Welsh Section A

Unfortunately the time has come to sell my daughter’s character of a pony due to her outgrowing her and wanting to move on.

Lavender has taken part in PC activities, showing, Dressage, One day events, SJ, hunting, beach rides.

Lavender has taught my daughter so much but is not a first pony as she is very whizzy and can be sharp. She is suitable for a confident young jockey who can enjoy her as much as we have and can continue her education and experiences

Tack and wardrobe included.

Please contact us for more details and lots more photos

Peggy is a beautiful stamp of a pony with all the attributes to make a top competition pony.

Peggy was professionally broken last year and has since been ridden by children and small adults. She is good to hack, clip, shoe, load, travel and handle on the floor; she can when in season be a little bit nippy when doing rugs up!

Peggy has three flashy paces and a seriously scopey and careful jump, she will make a seriously wicked and competitive competition pony and will be easy enough for a confident child to produce, she is not spooky in any way.

Peggy is NOT a novice/ lead rein/first ridden. She does need someone bold and confident to produce her, she will be quick to take the mick if she is allowed to.

Peggy is a fantastic project for someone to make a serious showjumping/ event pony out of. She is clean limbed, no lumps or bumps and no vet history.

Open to any trial and vet inspection

Amazing child’s / pony club pony

  • Pony club pony

Looking for a new home for our beautiful Sam he is a traditional registered 12.2 Welsh Section B gelding and now 12 years old.

Sam is our absolute world and he knows it he is a brilliant little pony who we have owned for a number of years he has taught both my daughters to ride.

He is absolutely amazing out hacking he can go out by himself but usually goes with a group from the current farm as he doesn’t mind being the confidence giving leader.

He never bucks rears or bolts! In the school Sam enjoys his work and does a bit of everything. He is a great little pony club pony!

Although I say sam taught my daughters to ride he is no means a kick along. He is responsive off the leg and enjoys having fun. He will go on a lead rein but he prefers more of an established rider. He has been to local shows behaves impeccably and loads well.

Great for the farrier, up to date with teeth and vacs.

This type of pony is really hard to come by and we are so sad he has been hopelessly outgrown he has so much to give another child. If you feel you have any other questions please get in touch.

Comes with full tack including a full leather adjustable John Whitaker pony saddle, bridle and rugs.


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.

Hi Ladies and gentleman . I’m Vinnie as you can see I’m a chocolate dun stud muffin.

Approx 150 cm of chunky hunky Connemara my dad was Ross fear bui, (he’s bit of a breeding legend ).

I’m on the look for a new mumma or dude. Someone who has been there done that knows horses . My perfect new match would love exploring the countryside and heading out on pleasure rides.

Dressage divas and Show jump superstar im not for you. Im rock solid in traffic. Love to pop the odd log. Just love exploring new places seeing the sites . I’m not a fan of going round and round in circles in that school thing , it just not my dream job. but don't mind the odd session.

I’m pretty intelligent you need to have a bit about you as if you’re too soft I’ll test out your skills, which means I’ll take you to a bush to find blackberry’s and giggle while I’m doing it , then see how long it takes you to pull me out . I don’t Do airs above the ground or anything far to much effort . My mother calls me one in a million and the best thing she has ever hacked, what ever that means. Lots of her friends have ridden me , some of them are nervous so I make sure I take good care of them.

I had a bit of inflammation in my suspensorys 1.5 years ago mother got me stabbed with steriods and some shockwave. Been hacking, long pleasure rides and light schooling since all hunky-dory. I've not needed treatment since. Being mentioned to be transparent, im sure most people wouldn't say.

I’m happy taking those little cheeky monkeys out on their ponies( mother calls it lead and ride ). Happy to head out solo or with my mates on a hack . Also don’t really stress when my mates head off in the field .

I’m generally a pretty laid back dude. If I’m going out for an exploration I’m better in a lorry or trailer without a partition .

I headed over from Ireland when I was four and been with my current mum since then . I’m nine now.

So if you think you might be my perfect match give my pa a message and she will start filtering the response to find my perfect home (she’s very particular and knows what I’m after a five star match, she’s want the best life for me so won’t waste anyone’s time if she’s thinks they aren’t right )

I currently reside Tiptree Essex

I have a fabulous saddle from bliss of London, that’s was made to fit me and I love it. But separate neg.

  • 6 years
  • 14 hands
  • Fabulous to work around
  • Genuine soft nature
  • Happy Hacker alone or in company

This wonderful little mare would suit an experienced home, fabulous to work around with a genuine soft nature. A real gem. She has been with us for over 2 years. We have worked away with her slowly over the last 2 years and she is now a happy individual.

She has been out to local unaffiliated showing shows always in the ribbons as she is very pretty and flashy under saddle.

She has been in open spaces, hacking she will do all day, past the heaviest of traffic and not phased by others carrying on around her. She is a delight to own, very low maintenance, barefoot, lives on fresh air, kind nature can be handled by children.

She was bought to back and resell however it was clear when she arrived that she was not unbacked and that she had issues under saddle, mostly in the arena. This manifested in her running as soon as you got on board which is no longer an issue.

She is still a little speedy in the first few strides of the canter but has brakes and will settle with gentle hand and quiet rider. Someone could have so much fun on this little mare, she will give you her all and does not have a bad bone in her body. I just want her to get the person she deserves to love her on a one to one basis. we want her to continue to thrive as we have put in alot of work to get her to this stage.

Takes up the leg very well a real weight carrier as a chunky little monkey.

Please do not judge her that we have been open and honest about her past this is purely because I want her to find her perfect person. She is one in a million. Home is more important than price. Ready to go on and live her best life as someones best friend.

Very reluctant sale of a much beloved pony. Ollie is the type you can entrust to his rider whilst sitting back and enjoying the experience and it has been a privilege to have him in our family. Our daughter does everything with him herself and he’d stay another year if not hopelessly outgrown. We had a waiting list for him last year all of whom have now found other rides – his type rarely come on the open market.

Ollie is incredibly willing and versatile – truly excels at dressage but also very capable jumping having taken our daughter from 50 to 90cm classes. He also loves XC although this is not something we’ve concentrated on, and has been a member of the PC games team (will run to vault or stand for stirrup). He’s also great to hack out and can be ridden tackless.

We’d like to find a decent little jockey for him who’ll ride him sympathetically. He will step up or down and build confidence - he’d be suited to a child who has already had a second pony in order to get the most out of him.

Well established lateral work including leg yield, rein back, simple changes, turns on the forehand and haunches and working on correct flying changes! Ollie would probably enjoy working equitation. Scores mid 70%’s prelim to decent 60s in recent elementary test.

Wins and qualifications are too numerous to list but include NSEA Hickstead and Addington champs in SJ, JWS and dressage, placing 3rd in inter county prelim final and 2nd in champs novice plate, along with winning the ride-off at PC grassroots final and qualifying for Barrier Spring Festival Novice dressage.

In previous homes he also excelled at WH, did extremely well RC dressage champs and has been in NSEA teams for various disciplines at championships many times and been on JWS winning team.

We are in touch with all three of Ollies previous owners and his previous jockeys have all touched base and share their equine journeys via social media.

He is excellent to handle, groom, shoe, load, bath, clip, etc.

Looking for a 5* home preferably on a private yard for this fabulous little pony where he will live a happy and varied life.

A full wardrobe will be included for Ollies next adventure.

Beautiful bay Welsh C Shilling (aka Mr Moneypenny) - 13.1 hh. 15 in may

We have had Shilling for 4 years now, and sadly my daughter has grown out of him. She was 8 when we bought him and is now 12yrs old.

My daughter has done a bit of everything on him. He jumps 90cm comfortably at home but she mainly competes him at 70cm due to her own confidence levels. He could absolutely go higher competitively or do BS / NSEA Eventing.

Shilling is an ideal second pony, loves to jump and takes confidence from his rider, and would thrive in a competition home.

He has nice paces so could do a lovely dressage test, my daughter just hasnt done a lot of dressage due to it not being her thing.

My daughter has taken Shilling to fun rides and he has behaved impeccably even when horses are being silly around him he is not phased by it.

Been unaffiliated jumping always coming back with rosettes.

My daughter hacks out with friends and their horses or someone on foot or bike goes in rivers and not phased at all. He hasn’t been hacked out alone due to daughters age, they have done junior pony camp and senior camp and he’s behaved impeccably.

My 9 year old daughter rides him on the lead due to her severe visual impairment.

Shilling has visited nurseries to see children and stood happily, he can be groomed for hours and stand happily with hay.

My daughter leads him in from his field on her own, the girls do everything with him alone.

Shilling doesn’t mind living in or out, with us has a stable and his own field.

Loads like a dream.

In the 4 years we have had Shilling he hasn’t been sick or sorry only seen a vet for his injections.

I have lots of videos and pictures.

Please only serious enquiries as this is a heartbreaking sale, and he will only be going to the right home.

Please no novices

Rici is a well bred 4 year old quality native, black sliver dapple skewbald gelding. He stands currently at just under 145cm. He is by dual graded mare, Cerrighedd Simply Magic and CHAPS graded stallion, San Cler Cardinal.

Rici is 37.5% Welsh x Traditional half brother Cerrighedd More Magic. Many of his relatives are out doing well under saddle in showing and BD. I’m sure he will excel in any chosen career.

Owned by me since a foal, he has been shown with some fab results including taking two championships at TOYS, South Downs cob final winner, reserve champion at Dorset County and too many champions and reserves to list.

Rici was professionally backed in 2023 going well out hacking and lightly schooling. Turned away for the winter, Rici is now back in work, hacking well and progressing well with school work.

He is good for farrier, bath, clip, load etc and has regularly travelled to shows since he was a foal.

Vice and blemish free with no health issues.

Genuine sale though no fault of his own.

Tack and full Wardrobe available to go with him.

Beautiful 14hh 5yo, irish bred pure Connemara.

A real life unicorn; beautiful pattern with brains.

Star has correct conformation, clean limbs and so much presence. Moves lovely. Star is a total pleasure to do we’ve owned her nearly 2 years now. She has the most gorgeous temperament, gentle & kind with the children and so willing to please puts a smile on everyone’s face. Loads of references from the Aray of people who’ve enjoyed hacking her and in the arena here. Even my daughter who is just 4 has hacked her off lead, sat on her bareback and just loves her- in 5/6 years will be needing her back!

Schooling lovely on the flat, lovely natural outline, uphill, forward thinking pony so perfect for a child or small adult to enjoy. Light in the hand with 3 balanced paces.

A very Bold scopey jump will be a top 143 plaited and/ MnM. Completely unfazed with fillers, water trays, bridges etc first time she jumped she popped a full course! Went to arena hire and popped round like she’d been before. Will be the best teen Fun pony or mum daughter share.

Fantastic in open spaces- in fact her first outing was Boxing Day meet one of the busiest of the year nannying smaller ones. Great to hack alone or in company, seen all sorts of traffic and farm life as spent sometime with a friend to get her mojo back in the saddle. With the foundations laid she more than Ready for someone to crack on with and be their no1!

Star could do any job- top quality WHP prospect or indeed Pony Club all rounder. Due to her age and potential would rather an experienced home to continue her education and see them have the best time but equally she would suit someone wanting to bring on their first pony as she’s so genuine. 100% in all ways no if or buts. Fabulous to catch,clip,trim. Not at all Mareish

Super Allrounder First Competition Pony

£5,000 offers

  • Responsive ride, steady paces and confident jump

After 3 fun years, Posy is very much outgrown. She’s very pretty with stunning markings – a sweet fun pony with a big personality. She’s fit and ready to go give another child (and parent!) a lot of fun.

Easy to do, good ground manners and everything done by my petite daughter. No stable vices.

Loves hacking alone and in company, safe and sane. Has seen all kinds of traffic, including heavy farm machinery and is great on the roads. Great in open spaces, never hots up.

Not fazed by anything. Happily goes out and about on her own and will stand on the box or settle in temp stabling. Very calm in the warm up.

Snaffle mouthed at all times. Not strong, fizzy or spooky, steady and responsive with excellent brakes. Kind and sweet with people and other horses. Lovely paces and would do a good show or dressage test, my daughter is more into her jumping though!

Spent 2023 occasionally hacking and being a nanny to our young sports pony, brought back into work properly January 2024 after his sad retirement.

She’s done it all!

  • Cleared 1m05 cross country fence at the end of the 10 mile East Kent Ride April 2024 – she jumped everything put in front of her
  • Qualified Sunshine Tour 2024 in her first time out jumping in 18 months.
  • Showjumping – has a super confident jump competing up to 75. She’s already done the Hickstead Sunshine tour (clear round with a cheeky celebratory buck!)
  • Bareback
  • Hacking
  • Clinics
  • Cross country
  • Fun and beach rides
  • Pony Club (1st hand pony comp!) including camp.

Loads perfectly and travels a dream.

Good with the farrier (barefoot with good feet), physio, vet, dentist. Up to date with everything.

She is 8 in May and will not be sold to novice parents or nervous riders. She can put in a cheeky buck – nothing that would phase a competent jockey. My daughter has only fallen off her once in 3 years doing a large x country fence while trying to talk to me at the same time!

She needs sedating to clip.

She had ulcers winter 2022, was treated and scoped clear March 2023. No issues since.

Very sad sale so no time wasters and we are in no rush to sell. She will only go to the best home and we’d like to keep in touch.

Price includes tack and all her rugs.


Superstar 4 y/o Welsh C Gelding


Ref #: 342497
  • Superb calm trainable temperament
  • Well bred & beautiful
  • A whole lifetime of potential
£6,000
  • Welsh Section C
  • Palomino
  • Gelding
  • 4 years
  • 13.3 hands
  • Superb calm trainable temperament
  • Well bred & beautiful
  • A whole lifetime of potential

Gray is a super sweet 4y/o 13.3hh Welsh C Palomino gelding, looking for his forever family.

He has been well handled since he was a foal and is very easy to do in all situations. He’s been with me for backing for the last two months and has taken to everything like he’s been doing it all his life. I am selling Gray on behalf of my nanny/ housekeeper, this was a fun project for me in exchange for extra help.

Sweet, kind, trainable and unflappable in nature, he’s just recently been ridden by children as young as 8 out hacking and hasn’t spooked, bucked or done anything remotely silly since we started working with him. He can be led in and out of the field, groomed and handled by my six year old.

Gray has been trained under the TRT Method ‘Preparing the Perfect Pony’ system and has fantastic groundwork, is trained to park by the block, to come back to the person in the middle when the rider stops riding, and to regulate his own emotions in all situations. He’s been given time to grow and mature and has had the best possible start in life. He’s completely unspoiled.

He is hacking confidently and cantering out sensibly in a group, he goes in front or behind no problem at all. He doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, is one of the few horses we have who can be left alone in the yard, so I don’t foresee solo hacking being a problem. He’s always happy to lead.

He has begun cantering and pole work in the arena so we can show prospective buyers but ideally he’ll do a lot more strength training out hacking before he’s schooled too much more in the arena. He’s always happy to give anything a go and the biggest challenge is always to not be too greedy in what you ask of him.

He’s being taught to find his balance and reach for the contact and is forward off the leg with a lovely soft mouth. Has never once gone to bolt even when seeing large machinery out hacking with only a rope halter.

He did most of his training until the last two weeks in nothing more than a rope halter and he stops very easily to both nose and bit pressure. He is still finding his consistency in the contact but that is coming quickly.

I have trained him to stop and turn in to the person on the ground in the arena when the rider goes neutral so that he’ll be very safe for children to ride. He parks and stands stock still in the arena or yard, I can drop the rope and walk away and he’ll stay put. Very calm when kids are fussing around him.

He will make the ultimate allrounder and child’s best friend, or a fab partner for a lightweight adult. The ideal mother daughter share. Riders in the videos are 5’2”- 5’5”.

He will only go to a knowledgable 5* home. We’re looking for him to go to a person of family where he’ll get a lot of love and will be able to continue learning in a positive environment. Please no first time horse owners, he is young and would be untrained as easily as he’s been trained.

Feel free to message me and we’ll arrange a time to speak about him- Beth
