My gorgeous girl is looking for her forever home, she has had a hard life before I found her, so finding the perfect home and person is extremely important to me and I’m in no rush at all. Homes will be vetted and I will not sell her unseen so please don’t ask.

I am looking for an experienced, kind and loving person who is offering a forever home where she can be a companion and a pet, I am not selling her as a ridden horse due to her past, I feel that she will be happiest being a pet.

She is 12.3hh, passported, microchipped, vaccinated, up to date with worming, teeth and farrier.

When she is settled and in a routine that she is happy with she is good to handle, will live in or out, comes to call, loves a fuss and is an absolute sweetheart. She has happily lived in all winter.

I’m looking for a very special person for my girl, it needs to be someone who is calm and consistent to give her the confidence that she needs. She is a very sensitive soul and does panic with change, so it needs to be someone who understands this and who is willing to hold her hand when she is struggling. Her insecurities are all down to her past life and in the year she has been with me she has come such a long way, I am now looking for someone to continue my quiet patient work to help her keep growing in confidence so she can finally live the life she deserves.

She did not travel well when she came to me and I haven’t travelled her since, I would prefer for her to go somewhere within or around an hour from us because of this and I am happy to cover the cost of having my vet come to sedate her so she can get to her new home safely.

When she is settled and happy she is such a lovely little lady and I know she is going to make someone very happy.

She is wary of men and needs a patient farrier but she is getting better with every trim and growing in confidence, she just needs to continue to have positive experiences with one and she will be fine with a little more time.

She currently turns out on her own but I do feel she would prefer to live with others. I do have another little mare also looking for a companion home and would be over the moon if they went together!

Finding her the right home is more important than price, but as said above homes will be vetted and I am in no rush, she will only leave me when I have found her perfect person and home. She is for sale only, sorry no loans.

£950 price is negotiable for the right home

I am looking for a kind and loving person who is offering a forever home where she can be a companion and a pet, I am not selling her as a ridden horse due to her past, I am happy to go into detail.

She is 12hh, passported, microchipped, vaccinated, up to date with worming, teeth and farrier.

She is barefoot. Good to handle, will live in or out, comes to call, absolutely loves a fuss and is a very affectionate little lady. She has lived in all winter and is very polite to handle.

She is wary of men and needs a patient farrier but she is getting better with every trim and growing in confidence, she just needs to continue to have positive experiences and she will be fine with a little more time.

She currently turns out with another mare and is the type that would get along with most horses with no drama. Shes happy to come in on her own and is quite happy in a stable on her own.

Finding her the right home is more important than price, but as said above homes will be vetted and I am in no rush, she will only leave me when I have found her perfect person and home. She is for sale only, sorry no loans.

• 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.
