• Do you have an equine with a golden temperament, a willing attitude, and a love of people?
• Many RDA groups throughout the UK are currently searching for suitable horses and ponies of various sizes, ages and abilities.

RDA Groups Across the UK Are Seeking Exceptional Equines!

Each offers a 5* welfare-focused home, professional care, and a role helping disabled children and adults experience the joy and benefits of equines.

Our equines are fit, responsive, healthy and athletic — taking part in a wide range of exciting activities:

• Riding
• Carriage Driving
• Vaulting
• Show Jumping
• Endurance
• … and more!

From smaller, forward-going ponies to strong, weight-carrying cobs — RDA groups need equines of all types, sizes and abilities. 

________________________________________

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

• Calm, sensible and people-friendly horses
• Sound and healthy equines able to adapt to a varied lifestyle
• Horses happy in the school, hacking, or working in open spaces
• Animals comfortable with different handlers and occasional mobility aids
• Steady temperaments but with enough athletic ability to stay fit and engaged

Each RDA group has their own needs, but temperament and trainability always come first. All the equines undergo a Pre-Purchase Examination.

Meet Autumn, a beautiful mare who is looking for a new home as a non-ridden companion. As a Quarter Horse, Autumn is excellent at taking additional grass! Meaning she doesn't need restrictive management in any form. A great addition to other large horses of similar management.

Autumn would suit a calm and peaceful home where she can enjoy her retirement with her horsey best friends. She is happy living out 24/7 or being part-stabled, and she settles well in the company of both mares and geldings. Autumn enjoys the simple things; companionship, routine, and kindness.

Autumn is a pleasure to handle with her horsey friends by her side. Her perfect handler will enjoy bonding with their horses, giving them daily attention and patience while she settles into her new home.

Can you offer Autumn a loving new home?

Please adopt Autumn

Whitley is a gentle pony who is now looking for a calm, understanding home where he can continue to feel safe and secure. He has a thoughtful nature and benefits from a quiet, consistent routine with handlers who are happy to take things at his pace.

Once he feels settled, Whitley shows a kind and willing side, enjoying positive interaction and the reassurance of familiar people. Whitley thrives with patient handling and clear boundaries. He is best suited to an adopter who enjoys building trust and forming a partnership, rather than rushing expectations.

With the right support, he is capable of continuing his education and gaining confidence in new situations. He would suit someone who values steady progress and is happy to celebrate the small wins along the way.

Whitley would make a rewarding pony for the right home and could suit as a non ridden companion.

Pie is a charming Standardbred yearling looking for his perfect forever home as a companion. This lovely young gelding came into our care through the RSPCA and has been an absolute delight to have with us.

Pie currently lives happily out 24/7 with both mares and geldings, and he gets along well with everyone. With the right routine, he may also be able to be part-stabled.

This curious and affectionate youngster is eager to learn and build confidence through gentle, consistent handling. He’ll need an experienced handler who can continue his education in all areas, including leading, picking up feet, and general groundwork. Pie thrives on reassurance and takes confidence from his person, making him a rewarding project for someone patient and kind.

Pie is continuing to gain condition—he’s an excellent grass eater! With time, good care, and continued training, he’ll blossom into a wonderful, confident companion.

If you have the experience, time, and love to help Pie reach his full potential, he’ll repay you with endless affection and curiosity.

• Meet Oreo, a cute little pony who is looking for a new home as a project pony
• Can you offer Oreo a loving home?

Based at Rolleston Centre

Meet Oreo, a cute little pony who is looking for a new home as a project pony who can start his ridden career once he turns 4 years old. Oreo would suit a home with an experienced handler who has the time and patience to give him consistent handling.

Oreo is currently living out on restricted grazing 24/7 with geldings and can be part stabled. Oreo is a known escape artist, so if he is being turned out with electric fencing this needs to be with a strong connection.

Oreo has a bright future ahead as a ridden pony once he’s fully matured. He’s still young, so for now he’s looking for an experienced and knowledgeable home that can continue his groundwork, allow him time to grow, and prepare him for a ridden career in the future.

Can you offer Oreo a loving home?
