He’s a lovely type, with a lovely natural balance, calm brain, and a fantastic can-do attitude
He’s proving to be a really smart, willing pony with a very sweet nature.
He’s a real favourite on the yard – easy to have around, always polite to handle

Meet Cookie – a beautifully marked 14.2hh piebald gelding, 5 years old and packed with personality. This eye-catching cob has both the looks and the nature to make someone an absolutely brilliant best friend and partner. He’s a lovely type, with a lovely natural balance, calm brain, and a fantastic can-do attitude.

Cookie has been slowly and correctly produced, and he’s proving to be a really smart, willing pony with a very sweet nature. He’s ideal for someone looking for a pony that’s safe, sane and full of potential – whether you want to enjoy long hacks, have fun at Pony Club, or eventually do a bit of everything.

He’s a real favourite on the yard – easy to have around, always polite to handle, and very affectionate without being in your pocket. He loves human company, stands like a rock to be groomed, and is happy to load, travel, and settle in new places.

Under saddle, Cookie rides in a snaffle and goes in a lovely rhythm. He’s responsive without being sharp, happy in open spaces, and not the spooky or silly type. He has a lovely work ethic and is proving willing over poles and small fences – honest, genuine, and improving every week. Cookie has started basic schooling over cross-country fences and has shown he’s brave and steady, taking everything in stride.

He hacks out alone or in company, is good with farm machinery and traffic, and has seen a wide variety of sights and sounds. He’s got the kind of temperament that makes him enjoyable and safe to ride, suitable for a riding school.

Cookie would suit a capable teen, small adult, or even a novice – he’s that kind and sensible. With his solid foundation and steady progress, he’s ready to continue his journey with someone who wants to enjoy a well-mannered, friendly, and versatile cob.

Cookie is open to vetting, has no stable vices, and is up to date with everything. Delivery across the UK available, and we offer an exchange option if needed – but we think once you meet him, you won’t want to let him go.

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.

Ideal for nervous inexperienced rider or jockeys who want to ride at a slower pace.
Special Requirement / RDA

Tonnes of experience and unbelievably safe. Ideal for beginner riders, or riders who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, she has more woah than go …..she can be a bit of a plod, even tho she is super safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces, with flare and enthusiasm, she is very sensible and can be forward going if your a more experienced rider, not spooky, sharp or silly in anyway, she is responsive to the leg if you can ride, whilst remaining calm and relaxed, she is extremely willing and will do anything you ask, she has 3 nice balanced super steady paces, she loves to jump a course of coloured and rustic fences.

Poppy participates in our low level showjumping, cross country, In hand, fancy dress & handy pony competitions.
She is a firm favourite with our special requirement and RDA rides both ridden and during stable management and therapy sessions.

She is a fantastic all-rounder.

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

8yrs Schoolmistress

Exceptional mare with tonnes of experience for sale. She has spent the last two half years working in my riding school where she has been ridden by all level riders, from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before up to advanced riders where she participates in our flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he 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, Poppy will hack through the heaviest of very fast moving traffic without batting an eye lid, she is not perturbed by any kind of vehicles or farm machinery.

Absolutely no vices, when ridden, in the stable or in the field and 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 and bathed, she loves being pampered.

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 through very heavy traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of wether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on his own, she will not rush, pull, race or try an overtake even on the way home.

She is currently working in a hackamore as she has a gentle mouth and isn’t at all strong, you have 100% full control when ridden bareback in a head collar and lead rope, she is equally happy in a snaffle, she rides with absolutely no gadgets.
We prefer to ride a lot of our horses in hackamores or bit less bridles due to beginner rides sometimes balancing on the reins…… despite all our efforts.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble, she has no marish traits, isn’t clingy, she is happy to be stabled and turned out on her own.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot, she is equally happy to be shoed.
She is excellent to catch, load with the farrier, dentist and vet.

She would give confidence to any rider/ handler when competing, cross country, showjumping, fun rides and beach rides.

She doesn’t need to be ridden every day she can go without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance.
He has never been lame had laminitis, sweet itch or sarcoids. No lumps or bumps. No Marish traits.

Passes are annual Licence Inspection which 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.

We have a few horses and ponies available to purchase.

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.

Photos and videos available upon request.
If you are genuinely interested please CALL me, as text messages and email cant always be replied to straight away.

Kindest mare I've ever met NEVER marish
Tries her hardest at everything
Happy hacker or future hunting cob

This mare has 100% been on this planet in a past life absolutely nothing fazes her and shes got an older head on young shoulders.

Nancy has been used for hacking for us to put miles on her and shes has never flinched at huge tractors, dust bin lorries, trailers carrying straw, motorbikes etc will walk past as they drive past. Most shes done is a little shy away or a jump flinch even at a duck flying up into her face off a river bank she didnt re-act. Had dogs running around her daily on the farm no issues at all.

Hacks alone in company amazing, front or back but for a canter shes a forward cob who does like to be up front she never stronger or silly buy does enjoy her hacking. Hacking alone she can just look back a couple of times but a little push and she does this is only when 1st leaving the farm.

Shes never bucked, reared, bolted, spun with us.

Nancy is green in the school but tries her hardest and just wants to please, she will walk trot and canter well shes not a kick along but not a speed machine. Lovely a responsive and doesn't lean on you.

She great with polework and just started jumping poles up to 50cm.

Nancy stands to be clipped from head to toe, has front shoes on with us due to all the hacking but was barefoot before us, up to date with dentist perfect teeth, vaccines all up to date.

To load she can be a little sticky on the ramp but improving, travelling shes fab at pleasure rides shes never fizzed up just the same old Nancy.

She is to be sold with her wardrobe including her saddle, bridle and rugs. We were growing her out back into a traditional but she was fully hogged out when we got her.

She is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of her own i cant express that enough. We've all cried at this decision but sadly personal health issues and myself waiting for quite a bit surgery had made me find her a home.

I literally cannot fault her.

Spirit is the perfect pony for someone looking for a been there, done it type. Spirit has been on the same yard for 10 years so her history is almost fully known. Spirit is a real confidence giver, and as bombproof as they come, she has taught many children and teenagers the ropes of showjumping, cross country and beach rides. Spirit is perfect to hack in company or alone and always looks after her rider.

Spirit has absolutely no vices or quirks and a such a good doer. She is easy to do in all ways, loads like a dream, perfect for the farrier and to clip, super quiet on the ground and under saddle. She is a such a good doer, barefoot and cheap to maintain.

Spirit is capable of doing most disciplines and took my daughter to the Trailblazers Championship this year, qualifying in the 60, 70 and 80cm classes.

Spirit isnt spooky in the slightest, she isnt a plod, very capable and is a nicely forward ride requiring some leg with good breaks, always in a snaffle.

She has never had a day lame since we have owned and known her and has nothing on her vet history other than annual jabs.

Spirit is a well looked after pony and is upto date on everything, very sad sale so absolutely no time wasters. She will only go to the best of home and only for sale as my daughter is moving onto horses and needing something more competitive.
