Our Ponies

Ben

Ben belongs to one of our volunteers, Kate Beim, who brings him to the stable yard every week in her horse lorry. He is a very well loved tiny 10hh family pony who has given many grand children, children and their friends their first rides. He does everything – general riding, pony club, gymkhana, show jumping and polo.  He loves coming to RDA where he takes great care of all his riders.

Finn

Finn was very kindly gifted to Watershed by Claudette Lambert.

He is a Welsh Section D cob, very handsome and much loved. He was foale​d in 1999 and is 14.2hh.

He had a previous career in the show ring and does like to show off and be admired! He is now an established member of our group of ponies and has adapted well to his new role.

Bobby

Bobby is a beautiful Welsh pony with a flaxen mane and tail. He is 14hh and was foaled in 2003.

He has lovely forward going paces, and is not at all bothered by traffic, or unusual sights and sounds. He has been a very successful Pony Club pony, so he is good at dressage, jumping, hacking, and just about everything!

Hamish

Hamish came to Watershed in April 2024.  He was foaled in 2007 in Ireland and then spent several years at a trekking centre in Wales.  He then moved to a private home with the aim of restoring confidence to his new owner.  Having completed this job successfully he came to Watershed to undertake a similar role.  Our more experienced riders enjoy his paces but he also gives confidence and pleasure to those less experienced.

Blue

Blue is a pony currently on loan to Watershed.  He was foaled in 2017 and is very definitely one of the characters of our Group.  His education is ongoing but he learns very quickly.  Blue adores people and craves attention and cuddles.  His superb active walk is much appreciated by many of our riders.
