Ilane Mayflower (stable name - Kiki)

Rising Star: 5 Year old Connemara mare

DOB: 10.04.2019

Height: 15.2 hh

N/N HWSD

It is with great sadness that we need to sell Kiki, who has been an absolute joy for our daughter to ride.

Kiki is a wonderful and good looking pony that would suit a young rider that has completed 'riding school' or an individual who wants to continue Kiki's training and start competing.

Kiki has never had any issues with the heard when being turned out. She is also easy to load and unload. She is very soft, kind and gentle in the stable, whilst at the same time being exciting and dynamic to ride. Our daughter immediately felt the energy when we bought her and Kiki loves to jump. She now trots and canters 'on the bit', rides beautifully and is used to jumping 70 cm, 80 cm and 90 cm - but with some more training is certainly capable of higher.

We have taken Kiki for jumping experience in various locations and she has entered Clear Round and NSEA events at Felbridge, where each time she completed all rounds without knocking over any poles, due to the excellent flatwork and rhythm training she has received. We firmly believe Kiki could progress even further with the right rider, regular training and a good instructor. We constantly receives comments from our daughter's current riding instructor about how well behaved Kiki is and how quickly she learns.

Kiki is also calm whilst hacking and is confident having seen cars, vans, bikes and Scooters.

She has also had experience with cross country as there is a course at our current stables.

Kiki has a fantastic temperament, looks very smart and you'd go a long way to find such a sweet horse who loves learning and is so willing.

Saddle costing £1,500 and rugs included in price.

14.1/14.2hh (approx.) liver chestnut gelding. 15 years old.

Frankie is an absolutely wonderful and honest all-rounder. He was originally a riding school pony, but since we have had him. He has really come on nicely.

He's tried his hand at everything: showing, dressage, showjumping and cross-country.

Frankie has qualified for STARS champion of champions 2024 and won the overall Show Hunter Pony 2024 class at Longton Riding Club in his first season!

Frankie has good stable manners, stands to be brushed, tacked up etc and has a wonderful, sensible temperament.

When riding, Frankie is quiet and well-mannered.

He hacks out quietly in company and alone and is a curious, nosy sort of boy, will make a lovely adventuring companion for his next rider.

He is now looking for a quieter life due to slowing down a bit with age. Hence reflected in the price.

He is not a total beginner ride.

Black and White Cob
Massive Weight Carrier
An Absolute Chunk With A Leg In Each Corner

Mothers daughter / son dream

1st or 2nd HORSE
SUPER SUPER SAFE
KIND, LOVING, SUPERSTAR

Mazzy is the calmest, considerate horse who always takes care of her riders. Ridden by all level riders from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before to advanced riders both children and adults.

Tonnes of experience and unbelievably safe. Ideal for a beginner, nervous rider or a rider who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in everyway, she is super chilled but not a plod, even though she is super safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces. She is extremely willing and will do anything you ask, pops a course of fences or logs when out hacking. she walks, trots and canters incorporating figures of 8, 3 and 4 loop serpentines beautifully.

She is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic horse for anyone to build up their confidence, learn to ride or continue to progress on.
Definitely a 1st and 2nd horse.

She really is a true kids horse, mother daughter / son share, mature lady, she looks after the smallest of riders along with bigger adults as she has plenty of bone, she is fantastic at teaching kids and adults how to walk trot, canter and jump, she has spent the last 2 years doing just this.

8yrs schoolmistress

Exceptional mare with tonnes of experience for sale. Has spent the last 2 yrs in the same riding school where she has been ridden by complete novice, intermediate and advanced riders both children and adults. She has done all flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when she first started her riding school career. She is very genuine and loves to hack out, she doesn’t pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, she is the most loving mare you could ever wish to meet. She is one of the favourite with our SEN children and adults, she participates in all our RDA lessons, hacks and stable management sessions.


Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the fields she has brilliant manners enabling anyone to handle her safely and with ease, will stand for hours with no head collar or lead rope being groomed, she comes to a call from the field, no head collar needed, she follows you round the yard like a puppy dog and absolutely loves attention being groomed, bathed, patted and spoilt.

She has exceptional manners and ticks so many boxes for someone looking for a very safe easy Schoolmistress, with no ifs or buts.

She will hack out alone or in company in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eye lid, we are in an extremely built-up area so she has seen double decker buses, articulated lorries, tractors all heavy farm machinery.
She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of whether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on her own, she will not rush or pull even on the way home.

She rides in a Snaffle, she has absolutely no gadgets. You can ride her bareback in a head collar and lead rope in all paces and have absolute full control.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite being out with 30 other horses.
She is currently barefoot and has excellent manners with the farrier and could be shod if needed. She ties up anywhere, and loves attention.
She is excellent to catch, with the farrier and dentist.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler and would love to return back to compete at riding club level show, fun/beach rides as this is what she did prior to working in the riding school.

She can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance, she maintains her weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
She has never been lame, sick or sorry she has never had laminitis, sarcoids or sweetish.

In the past 2yrs I can honestly say she has never been lame, sick or sorry, she has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer.

First to see will buy, she is one in a million and really can’t be missed.

Absolute heartbreaking sale but we like to change our stock around every 2 years to give our fantastic horses and ponies the opportunity to experience a one to one home again.

We have a variety of ponies for sale.

Photos and videos available upon request.

Gismo is a 14/14.1hh irish gelding. 15yrs old this year according to passport age, though i’ve been told he’s much younger. He is an ex riding school so perfect for teaching you the ropes but can also take you up on the levels. He was my first pony but now outgrown sadly so will only be letting him go to the best home as he is very precious to me and will not allow dealers or time wasters. Ideally looking for a younger child keen to learn more but not a complete novice rider.

He will always help the rider out and is an absolute dream to ride and on the ground. He is more on the slower side so perfect for someone not wanting a fizzy pony, but when the right buttons are pushed he can easily go faster round the course but safely- perfect mothers dream pony as he will always look after the rider and is not nasty in any way. Foot perfect hacking everywhere, will go round the fields bareback and in a head collar with me and will completely listen to the rider. He can get stronger at times when following another horse, he is not nappy and won’t refuse to move or anything if he is first, he will just need more encouragement to go forward, other than that he is always ridden in a snaffle.

He has been on the same yard his whole life since a 4 year old but has successfully been out many times to PC camps, competitions, hickstead and other arena hires etc when he was younger. Can leave him a week and he will be exactly the same if you ride him every day. His comfortable height is around 70cm but can easily do higher with the right rider, has done up to 1m with me and also did 1m in the past in the school. He also could easily teach someone to jump from the beginning, however due to him being in the school most of his life i was looking for someone who already knows the basics and is looking for a fun pony to go out and about as this is what he really loves.He is on the smaller side so not looking for any adults or larger teenagers just due to his size and i don’t want him sold on again after this as this is a really hard decision.

He will come with all tack and rugs included in the price. Gismo really is one of a kind and you won’t find a safer, more special pony out there!

All this said, Gismo has had some medical problems in the past year, he has had a surgery july 2024 and they reported back it is all clear and he has been back ridden after his recovery period, happy to discuss and disclose everything about it but if it has all gone he is completely fine to do all activities. He had canker in one of his feet resulting in the surgery, poulticing, time off ect. He is all clear now though.

 

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.
