  • Welsh Section B
  • Liver chestnut
  • Mare
  • 9 years
  • 13.2 hands
  • Reserve National Champion BD Quest
  • Same home since 3
  • Secure at elementary

Stunning mare been in our family since a three year old, my little brother aged 10 broke her in. She has been amazing, doing it all… pony club, dressage which she excels at etc. I have been training her since my brother has grown too big. We are currently working at elementary, she finds the lateral work very easy.

My brother has done working Hunter, in hand showing, been to lots of different BD venues, and generally just loves her. She is advertised as a competition pony, not a first ridden, she is safe and does not bronc, rear bolt, etc, she listens and is light so if a kid gos wham bam it’s going to worry her, she has a real want to please, we don;t want anyone worrying her by not having an independence seat.

This absolute gem of a pony is easy to handle in every single way, you can trust her around small children, my little brother would often fall asleep sat on her lead at pony club rallies and she would just graze quietly. She hacks well, loads well, is good for the Farrier, is good to clip. She is bold to a fence without being strong or silly with good scope.

She would excel in the show ring, she has fantastic breeding too with lots of HOYs ponies In her bloodlines. Equally would do PFEI

Dream confidence giving pony

  • Gelding
  • 13 years
  • 13.1 hands
  • Real confidence giver
  • Ideal first pony / mother share
  • Foxy is one of the kindest ponies around and winnies whenever he sees his little person rider

Foxy is a very safe ideal first pony with a leg in each corner. He was bought in early 2024 for an 8 year old nervous girl as a first off the leading rein pony to give confidence to. He is 13 year old very fine cob, but has no breeding in his passport.

He is a saint in the school and enjoyes hacking round our farm in Buckinghamshire and doens't shy at tractors, machines, dogs etc and is not spookey. He's also an excellent hunting pony. He is happy on or off the leading rein. He's also got a great pop so would suit a mother child share. Foxy loves children and all the attention that anyone is prepared to give him. His only vice is that he's a little greedy.

He goes out every day, but is in at night and does not have laminitis or cushings. He's good to shoe, clip etc.

Totally genuine reason for sale in that we are now looking for something to move forward to do PC activities are a higher level. This has been a very hard decision but we know deep down it is the right one and he is now ready to teach another rider the ropes. He will only go to the best of homes! We have lots of videos available and good trial facilities are available


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.
