Redesdale Equestrian is situated in the picturesque surrounds of the Redesdale Valley between the villages of Otterburn and Elsdon.
We offer livery, schooling and competition services for all types of horse, as well as training for grassroots and leisure riders with their own horses.
Our yard is home to an array of horses and ponies, from happy hackers to competition horses. All of our four legged (and two legged!) friends have their needs individually catered for in a relaxed, friendly and professional environment and we pride ourselves in providing the highest standard of equine care and customer service.
What’s going on at Redesdale?
Saturday was our last event of the season and we headed to Alnwick Ford.
Cruise was once again a superstar in the Novice, leading the dressage with a two point margin and finishing in third🥉after having an unlucky rail in the showjumping. That’s a top ten finish in all bar-one of his National runs this season ⭐️⭐️⭐️🦄
Roo stepped up a level to 100 and really came of age. I’ll not be the only one to have wondered wether she had enough ‘zoom’ in her to be an eventer but she certainly found her zoominess this time and after a little hiccup at the first fence, she took me round like a pro (no kicking required!) 🐎💨 😂 She jumped the ditch without hesitation and the skinny wedge out of the water like she’s jumped them all her life (she’s never seen one!) so I know she is super genuine and a real trier. Really pleased with her and excited for next year now the baby-ness is hopefully behind her.
So that’s a wrap for this season, and what a great one it has been 🦄🦄🦄
Massive thank you to my team of helpers - Chloe, Lisa, Jo, Lucy, Jackie and to Martin who is quite simply the best husband ever!
Helen Self Dodd just as Chloe has said, it’s been such a joy coming along to events with you and the team. It’s been an amazing season and I’m so excited to see what next season will bring. Whatever happens we always manage to smile, laugh and have fun 🥳🤩🤗
Great performance by everyone on Saturday, the future is looking very bright. Next season can't come soon enough xx
Massive well done to you!! It’s been a joy coming to the events with you!! 😁
Well done you, looks like you’ve had an awesome season. Great to finally get a chance to show what you and your ponies can do!

Wow well done Helen Self Dodd and to you all, absolutely brilliant 👏 how old is Roo now the improvement from the start of the season until now is incredible 👏 and Cruise "cruised" his way round again, just ooozez talent xx
Well done!!!
Busy weekend up and down the A1 with the boys to compete at the stunning Allerton Park Horse Trials in Yorkshire🏡🐎☀️
Unfortunately Cruise arrived on Saturday for the prestigious Novice Masters with some slight filling in his front legs and although seemed 100% well within himself and performed a lovely dressage test we decided not to risk him in the jumping phases🤕 We will hopefully re-route to Alnwick Ford this weekend ⏩
Pea Pod put in another stella performance in the Intermediate. 6th after dressage, an improved showjumping round and had a real blast cross country round a big, bold, galloping track. I’m starting to believe we can actually do this! 😃🙌🏻👊🏻
That’s a wrap for Pea Pod for the 2021 season.
What a boy 😍🦄

Hear, hear 🤩
Happy to say that Evan has found a new little person to look after him and will be staying here 🐴💕
🍎Evan🍎
13.2hh, 10yo Gelding
Evan was part of our riding school before it closed. He has been out on loan since last summer to a family with two young, inexperienced children and has come back through no fault of his own.
Evan has done a little bit of everything here - trekking, lessons, jumping, pony parties, games etc but is not a schoolmaster. He has not been away to shows or rallies but loads and travels well and has been to local shows for pony rides.
He is a kick along type and needs a rider with a bit of oomph to get the best out of him.
He is still learning his trade but is sweet pony, with not a bad bone in his body and is not naughty in any way. He can be a little headstrong on the ground when in a new environment but has been well handled by many children during his time in the riding school at pony mornings and parties.
Evan would make a great second pony for a confident, determined child (suggest 10+) or a small adult.
🐴 Experienced home only
🐴 Other horses or ponies for company
🐴 Lives out 24/7
🐴 Confident, determined rider
🐴 Ideal for hacking/low level pony club activities
Viewings can be arranged Tues, Wed or Thursday any time, or weekends from October.

Yay.... Happy he's staying too he's the sweetest pony. I've loved riding him while we've been searching for his new 'mum' he's going to make a little girl very happy indeed 😊 ❤
