Adorable 12.2hh Welsh Section B, 13 years old, for sale (permanent loan considered to the perfect home)

Sadly outgrown by my daughter, and my son has lost interest. We’ve had Barnaby for five years and are reluctant to let him go, but he needs another little person to give his love to, and he has so much of it. He adores being cuddled and pampered and is sociable with everyone. He has a cheeky side, typical of his breed, but there isn’t an unkind bone in his body.

Barnaby is amazing on the lead rein and has been a first lead rein pony for both my children. Off the lead he is forward going and sensitive, so he is not a novice ride and would suit a confident rider. He hacks out both in company and alone, though he always prefers company.

He would also make an ideal companion pony. He is very sociable, lives happily on a farm alongside other animals, and is completely unfazed by flappy things, traffic and heavy machinery. He is easy for children to handle, and good to clip, load and travel. Barefoot for the last five years.

Fantastic Hunting Pony

13.3hh 11-year-old mare.

A lovely, fun and experienced pony with plenty to offer her next jockey.

A fantastic hunting pony. She will happily stand at the meet and is great with hounds. She has a lovely jump and will cross any country. Has attended Pony Club camp, rallies, has showjumping experience as well as enjoying fun rides and beach rides.

Hacks happily alone and in company and is generally good in traffic, although can occasionally be a little hesitant around larger machinery.

A real pleasure to have around the yard and easy to do. Good to catch, groom, tack up, load and travel, as well as being good for the farrier and dentist.

She would make a lovely second pony for a confident, capable young rider looking for a fun and versatile pony to enjoy a variety of activities with. She is not for a total novice and needs a rider with some experience.

Up to date with vaccinations, worming, chiropractor, dentist and farrier (barefoot).

Our Pony Club DC is happy to provide references.

A lovely pony who will be a fantastic addition to the right family. A good home is very important.

13hh | Bay Mare | 2022 | Welsh Section C

A seriously pretty, flashy little mare who is nice enough to show, with lovely movement and plenty of presence. She has been produced slowly and correctly by a young rider and is now ready to find her own person. ❤️

🌳 THIS LITTLE MARE ABSOLUTELY LOVES HER HACKING! 🌳

Hacking is definitely one of her favourite things. She is happy, confident and forward-thinking out and about and has already seen an incredible amount for a young pony.

She hacks through rural villages /open countryside and fields and is great with traffic. She has been on a beach holiday, around Thetford Forest, through water, on fun rides and mini XC adventures. She genuinely seems to love getting out and exploring! 🥰

We would therefore absolutely love a hacking/fun home for her. Someone wanting a lovely pony to enjoy miles of hacking, fun rides, beach trips and adventures would suit her perfectly.

She has also done:

⭐️ Obstacle clinic
⭐️ Fun rides
⭐️ Beach holiday
⭐️ Thetford Forest trip including mini XC & river splash
⭐️ Mini XC course hire
⭐️ Polework
⭐️ Recently started jumping coloured fences and really enjoys it
⭐️ Schools nicely on the flat
⭐️ Rides & leads in walk, trot & canter
⭐️ Long reins & lunges
⭐️ Great to load
⭐️ Great to clip

She is lovely to handle, will stand for ages to be groomed and even parks herself at the mounting block 😂❤️

She is still a young mare with lots left to learn, so isn’t for a complete novice, but she is willing, genuine and has been given a fantastic start without being rushed.

She would make a super hacking/fun pony, allrounder, showing prospect or mother/daughter project.

🌟 A beautiful young mare who loves life, loves getting out and about and is ready to find her person to continue the adventures with. 🌟

Bramble

The Ultimate Confidence Giver

Bramble is an exceptional 14hh chunky Cob,10 yrs, gelding who offers the rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. He is kind, bold, dependable, ideal for a wide range of riders – from complete beginners, nervous adults and children to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm and steady ride.

Bramble is beautifully put together and has been there, done that, in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing gelding, he is the definition of safe and steady. He has more woah than go, making him a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability or responsiveness.

Ideal for Beginners, RDA, All-Round Riders

Bramble has worked extensively in a professional riding school environment for the past 2 years, and he has excelled with every level of rider, from total novices to advanced. He is also a firm favourite for RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) and special requirements sessions, both under saddle and during stable management and therapy activities.

He has experience in flatwork lessons, both private and group, as well as participating in our in-house showjumping and cross-country competitions. He is confident over coloured and rustic fences and always takes care of his riders, trotting or cantering in steadily to each jump and helping the rider out If they come in on a bad stride.

He would easily compete in low level showjumping, cross-country, working hunter, one-day events and hunting. Bramble competed in low level competitions, pole clinics, pony club and fun rides prior to coming to the riding school.

He absolutely loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. He will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. He is completely unfazed by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. He remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home. You can gallop him across open fields with loose horses running alongside him, then immediately pull him up and allow him to walk on a long rein or ask him to stand while horses run around him. He is most definitely not sharp, spooky or spinny.

He has been truly exceptional during his time at the riding school. He is unbelievably forgiving when riders lose their balance, lose their stirrups or have a bad stride into a fence. He always takes care of his riders. He will walk, trot, canter from voice commands without using the reins in both upward and downward transitions.

His substantial build, with a leg in each corner, combined with his calm disposition, sure-footedness and gentle nature, gives even the most nervous riders the confidence to progress and excel. He will stand patiently at the mounting block for as long as needed without moving an inch. I can honestly say he has absolutely no quirks or negative traits.

Although he is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, he is also responsive to the leg and has three beautiful, balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, he will work into a nice outline with enthusiasm and energy while always staying calm and sensible. He has NEVER bolted, bucked, reared, kicked or bitten. He is the most loving, kind gelding you could ever wish to meet. Snaffle mouthed with absolutely no gadgets.

Manners, Temperament, Handling

Bramble has outstanding ground manners. He stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a head collar or lead rope. He is not clingy and is happy living in or out. In the field, he keeps himself to himself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd. He absolutely loves a cuddle and adores people, he will follow you around the yard and fields with no head colour and lead rope wanting a cuddle.

Bramble has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps or unsoundness, and has only had two owners.

He is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. He is excellent to bath and catch, great to load and travel, and fantastic with the farrier, vet and dentist.

He is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. He can have weeks or even months off and return to ridden work without any fuss. He maintains his condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

He passes our riding school annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting, passed with flying colours on the 26.06.26.

A Truly Special Gelding

Bramble is a rare gem. He is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable and capable all-rounder. Whether you’re a nervous adult, a beginner rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Bramble fits the bill perfectly. He is a genuine schoolmaster who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give his next owner years of pleasure. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

Why Is He for Sale?

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every two years so they can enjoy one-to-one attention and new experiences. He is ready to bring joy to his next rider and deserves the very best home. He has been truly exceptional.

Connor ⭐️

A genuine, kind-hearted boy with a temperament worth its weight in gold. A fantastic hunting prospect with all-rounder potential!

14.1hh • 4-year-old • Bay Gelding

Connor is a very special boy who genuinely wants to be everyone’s best friend. He has the loveliest nature, a calm attitude to life and a temperament that is becoming increasingly hard to find!

Professionally backed by us and was lightly driven in his previous home. We adore him and have really enjoyed working with him. He has hacked all over, done some cross-country schooling and has brought on in the arena. He is established in walk, trot and canter, going over poles and little courses of jumps in the arena- taking everything in his stride.

Connor has been out hunting with us and absolutely loved every minute - so did I! He is a real machine in all the right ways! He will go all day, he jumped and happily cross ditches and rivers, trotted down busy roads and took in the atmosphere without batting an eyelid. He was unfazed by the hounds, crowds and just loved being there (he also babysat another pony I was with) He was even ridden by a 12 year old during the day when her pony was misbehaving, which speaks volumes about how safe he is! He’s very versatile so will step up for a bigger rider however step back down for someone more nervous. He is a horse who loves getting out and about, exploring and having an adventure. He would make a fantastic addition to a hunting home and is ready to go out and enjoy the season! I wish I could keep him!

Please don’t let his age put you off. Connor really is an old head on young shoulders. He has a very sensible outlook on life and is genuine and straightforward. He has never bucked, reared, bolted, hardly spooked or thrown any shapes. He is never strong or silly, whether in the school, hacking or out in open spaces. He is a more woah-than-go type, but is responding nicely to encouragement and never feeling sharp or overexcited.

He has been brought on as a lovely, sensible young horse and has so much potential to become a fantastic all-rounder. However, he is still green and only four, so we are looking for a confident, experienced rider who understands young horses and can continue his education correctly- as we want him to thrive in life.

He’s an absolute pleasure to do on the ground. Good to catch, load, tie up, bath and stands for the farrier. He loves attention and will happily stand to be pampered all day. He has been a brilliant lead horse for our other youngsters and has never caused us a moment’s bother.

He is a strong, big-boned cob with plenty of substance, 3 lovely flashy paces and unique coloured feathers. Clean-limbed and in fit condition.

Connor has the potential to turn his hoof to so many things, whether that’s hunting, pony club, riding club, showing or simply being a much-loved hacking companion. We think he’d absolutely excel as a hunts pony! He has so much to offer the right person, and we would love to see him go to a home that will appreciate him as much as we do.

Experienced, knowledgeable home wanted. Serious enquiries only please.

Flick lives on an active rural farm and is accustomed to all the hustle and bustle that comes with it, including farm machinery, dogs, pigs, children and plenty of low-flying MOD aircraft. She really is used to seeing and hearing it all!

She happily lives in or out as part of a mixed herd.

Flick has so much to offer her next person, and we would love to find her a home where she can continue having fun and making memories.

  • Genuine all round pony
  • Perfect 2nd Pony
  • 11 Years old

A much-loved, genuine little superstar looking for his next family.

Ace is a beautiful all-rounder who has been an absolute dream second pony for our daughter. Sadly, she has outgrown him, and finding him the right next home is incredibly important to us.

A kind, genuine and beautifully mannered pony, Ace has a wonderful ability to look after his rider while still being fun and competitive enough to keep things interesting.

What makes Ace so special?

A genuine confidence-giver – happy with nervous or less experienced riders.

Equally enjoyable for a more established child or smaller adult.

Has taken his rider from cross poles to confidently jumping courses of 70–80cm.

Enjoys show jumping, XC, fun rides, mounted games, polo cross and Pony Club activities.

Three Pony Club camps under his belt, where he has been a firm favourite.

Sensible and enjoyable to hack alone or in company.

Excellent in traffic and happy to lead or follow.

Easy to handle, groom, tack up and manage independently.

Happy to live in or out, alone or with company.

Ace has never bucked, reared or bolted. He is a genuine gentleman with a lovely temperament, but importantly, he isn’t boring! He enjoys his jumping and is great fun against the clock.

He has also been trusted to look after complete novices and smaller riders, and has been lent to other Pony Club children, always proving himself to be a reliable and willing partner.

Fully vaccinated and wormed, front shoes, no known vices. References available.

£10,000 including bridle and rugs. Fitted saddle available by separate negotiation.

This is a genuinely difficult sale of a much-loved family pony. We would love to find Ace a home where he will be cherished as much as he is here. The right home is far more important to us than a quick sale.

  • Great flatwork and a lovely jump

Max hacks out happily alone and in company around all the forest tracks. He is lovely to hack and we have cantered him with lots of other horses in open spaces without any issues.

His flatwork has come on beautifully during his time with us, and he is now working in a lovely shape, showing plenty of promise and ready to start doing some dressage competitions.

Max’s jumping has also improved, however he can still be inconsistent in front of a bigger fence. When jumping he would benefit from a confident, capable rider who can give him the time, guidance and consistency he needs to continue developing in this discipline. He has loads of jump just needs to gain confidence in himself.

He is a really lovely horse to handle and have around the yard, with plenty to offer the right person. Good to do in all ways, he is slightly nervous to clip but not sure if ever been clipped before.

He has come to Right Ride Horses to find a new family as his current family have realised he is too green for their novice child. They acquired him as a pony club confidence giver who would teach a novice child but he isn’t quite there yet. They are taking a huge hit however they want to find him the perfect place he can continue his education. Believed to of done pony club and hunting with his previous family.

Max would suit someone looking for a quality young Connemara to continue producing and enjoy, rather than a ready-made schoolmaster for a novice child.

Smartie – The Ultimate First Pony

Smartie is the quietest, kindest and most sensible little pony you could ever wish to meet. She is exceptionally safe, both under saddle and on the ground, making her the perfect first pony both on and off the lead rein.

She will happily walk, trot and canter beautifully on the lead rein for children taking their very first steps into riding. Off the lead rein, she is equally happy carrying riders who are holding the saddle handle while building confidence, as well as those riding independently. She truly has a young body with an old head on her shoulders. She is never spooky, sharp, strong or silly and always takes wonderful care of her riders.

Over the past 2.5 years Smartie has worked in a professional riding school where she has safely taught hundreds of children, from tiny tots aged just two years old through to more established young riders. She has patiently introduced countless children to walk, trot, canter and their very first jumps.

She has three beautifully balanced, steady paces and responds exceptionally well to the voice, allowing beginners who are still holding the saddle handle to be guided confidently without needing rein contact.

Smartie has never bolted, reared, bucked. She is not strong, pulley or forward going, she goes wherever you ask calmly and sensibly, she has more whoa than go, making her a lovely, reassuring ride for someone just starting out or building their confidence. However, when ridden by a more experienced jockey, she will happily step up a gear and become more responsive and forward when asked.

She is an incredibly genuine, sensible mare who adapts beautifully to the ability and confidence of her rider.

She truly is every child’s dream pony, with the most adorable little face that you simply can’t help but fall in love with.

She waits patiently in group lessons for her turn, is equally well behaved in private lessons, and has taken part in our in-house competitions including Lead Rein classes, Handy Pony, Fancy Dress and Pony Club rallies.

She has a lovely snaffle mouth and requires no gadgets.

Smartie will happily be lead around the yard by the tiniest of tots without pulling or being strong, allowing even the youngest children to confidently catch her from the field, groom her, pick out her feet, and care for her safely. she stands quietly to be groomed, bathed and fussed over, she will happily stand in her stable with the door open and not try and come out, will equally stand at a mounting block without move for as long needed, she is super chilled, quiet and easy to handle.

She is a firm favourite during our stable management courses and therapy sessions.

Smartie is exceptional out hacking. She is completely unfazed by heavy, fast-moving traffic and has seen everything from articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors and trailers to motorbikes, bicycles, prams, trolleys and dogs — absolutely nothing fazes her.

She hacks confidently both alone and in company, happily leading or following. She is never strong, nappy or silly and is perfectly content to stay at the back of the ride without trying to overtake, race or be silly in any way, she maintains in her pace and place even in a large group hack.

In open spaces she remains calm, relaxed and sensible. If the other horses canter away, Smartie is more than happy to stay behind with her rider, and she will patiently wait if the others return home ahead of her.

Smartie enjoys jumping and will happily pop a small course of coloured or rustic fences, both on and off the lead rein, always giving her rider confidence.

She is excellent to catch, load, travel, shoe / feet paired, and stands perfectly for the dentist, farrier and vet. She loads first time, every time, travels impeccably and is an absolute pleasure to take out and about. Smartie is currently barefoot as she has very strong healthy hooves, she is equally happy to be shoed.

Smartie has recently passed our annual Riding School Licence inspection, carried out by a veterinary surgeon, which is comparable to a Stage 2 vetting.

During the entire time we have owned her, she has never been sick, lame, suffered from colic or required any time off through injury or illness. She is fit, healthy and in excellent condition, with no sarcoids, sweet itch, laminitis, lumps or bumps. Smartie is a substantial build with most definitely I leg in each corner, she has never suffered from laminitis.

She is wonderfully low maintenance and doesn’t need riding every day. She can happily have four weeks off and return to work exactly as she left it, without any fuss or freshness.

She currently works four days a week in our riding school and thoroughly enjoys her job.

We have several horses and ponies available for viewing.

Smartie has a very simple routine and is incredibly easy to keep. She has a basic diet of haylage when stabled and grass when turned out. She currently lives in a mixed herd of 25 horses, is stabled during the day when working and turned out overnight.

Equally, she would be perfectly happy living out full-time or being stabled full-time. She is not clingy and is equally content living or turning out on her own if required.

Smartie is only available because we regularly rotate our riding school horses after around 18 months - two years. We strongly believe these wonderful ponies deserve the opportunity to enjoy a one-to-one family home where they receive individual attention, more variety and plenty of fun adventures. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

They work incredibly hard teaching children and give so much of themselves every single day, so we feel they deserve the very best next chapter.

Whoever is lucky enough to buy Smartie will not just be purchasing a pony — they will be gaining a kind, genuine and utterly trustworthy family member who will give a child years of confidence, fun and unforgettable memories.

Scout is a rising 6 year old registered new forest gelding. He has an old head on young shoulders and is a total pleasure to own.

Regularly competed in prelim and novice dressage, qualified for sunshine tour this summer and came 6th. His flat work is light and balanced with basics established in all 3 paces including lateral work. He is ready to start working towards elementary with potential to really excel in this area.

Confidently jumping around courses of 60cm with potential to progress further and has show jumped, arena evented and xc schooled. Has done hound exercises with impeccable manners and would make a super hunter.

Has attended pony club rallies.

Successfully shown in hand and would excel in the show ring or as a WHP.

Hacks alone or in company. Ridden by all members of the family from my tiny tot on the lead rein, my first ridden wobbly 7yr old and myself. He really is the type of pony the whole family can enjoy. Would suit a mother daughter share or a multi sibling home. He is a steady type that takes the leg well but is forwards enough for little legs to be effective. Ridden by my young children (age 5 and 7) but I would say he would be more of a 2nd pony for a competent child to really reach his potential, or an amazing happy hack/alrounder/competition pony for a small adult.

Super sweet and easy on the ground, handled by my children. Good to shoe box clip catch etc.

Up to date with vaccs/teeth/wormer

Cannot praise this pony enough. Will be a total asset to any family. A one in a million temperament that you don’t find often.

Potentially looking for a new home- happy hacker, potential broodmare

  • Heartbreaking sale of the loveliest girl
£2,500 ONO
  • Welsh Section C
  • Bay
  • Mare
  • 7 years
  • 13hh / 133cm
  • Heartbreaking sale of the loveliest girl

A heartbreaking sale for this genuinely lovely mare, who deserves a home where she has a job to enjoy and someone to call her own.

* 7-year-old, 13hh Welsh Section C mare
* Sired by Donys Highwayman
* Full recorded breeding
* Beautiful stamp, with four white socks and a white face
* Lovely temperament and a real yard favourite

Originally bought with the intention of producing, we have ultimately come to realise that life in the school isn’t what she wants. We would much rather find her a home where she can enjoy a quieter life doing what she loves.

She would make a lovely happy hacker for a small adult, or equally has the breeding to make an exciting potential broodmare.

Under saddle, she is an enjoyable and trustworthy low-level hack. She is happy to be brought in from the field once a week for a leisurely ride or equally enjoys being stabled overnight and hacked out every evening. She will happily hack alone or in company, although can occasionally be a little nappy when alone, but does work through this.

She can have the occasional moment of being a typical Welsh, but these are few and far between and she is generally a straightforward, pleasant mare to have around.

Her personality is what makes her so special. She absolutely loves a pamper, is always looking for a cuddle and is the sort of horse who quickly becomes everyone’s favourite on the yard.

She has previously experienced gastric ulcers, something we are completely open and happy to discuss with any genuine enquiries.

This is a sale very much based on finding the right home rather than the next home. We want her to be happy, loved and enjoy whatever comes next. We are more than happy to answer any questions and be completely open about her history.

A lovely little mare with plenty to offer the right person. ❤️

Koby is a stunning black Traditional Gypsy Cob (registered with the BHS and TGCA). He has excellent conformation, a fabulous mane, tail and 4 white feathers, and bags of presence. He is a real head-turner who naturally catches everyone’s eye wherever he goes.

A genuine, sensible and much-loved pony, Koby has been ridden and produced at home. He is snaffle-mouthed, naturally works in an outline and is nicely adjustable to his rider. He would suit a smaller or novice rider looking for a confidence-giving partner, while also having enough quality and ability to be enjoyed by a more experienced teenager or small adult. He has also been introduced to jumping.

We have owned Koby since a foal and he has been well exposed to a variety of environments competing in affiliated dressage. He takes everything in his stride and behaves impeccably throughout.

With his beautiful traditional type, quality and excellent conformation, Koby has all the attributes to make an exciting prospect for the SEIB Traditional Gypsy Cob HOYS classes. With further production, he has the potential to become a serious contender in the show ring.

Away from the spotlight, Koby is a firm yard favourite with a lovely, genuine temperament. He is good to catch, shoe, load and clip, and is well behaved with the vet. He hacks happily alone or in company and is good in open spaces.

Koby is a genuinely special pony who combines looks, quality, temperament and untapped potential. This is a sad sale, and we would love to find him a five-star home where he will be loved as much as he is here and given every opportunity to continue thriving and fulfil his considerable potential.
