Welcome to our website
Low Maidendale Farm is set east of Darlington in the foot of Teesdale and run by owners Maggie and Roger Tansley. The Farm is home to the Maidendale Herd of Dales Ponies, other horses and ponies and various animals.
The farm is run on organic principles and has not had any chemicals applied to the land during the past 20 years. Animals are kept extensively and manage the land in traditional ways. We grow our own winter forage and hay and try to feed in as natural a way as possible.
We have always bred, first and foremost, for temperament and trainability. Next in importance to us is strong, straight movement and that’s not possible without correct conformation. We aim to breed ponies that meet the breed standard, are capable of doing a days work in a variety of spheres and are a pleasure to be around.
