Graham (show name Mister Grey) is a very talented and experienced schoolmaster who has taught our daughter everything, taking her confidently up to British Showjumping level. He comfortably jumps 1m and has competed at Pony Club Championships, NSEA, and BS senior level. He is a Grade B horse with numerous wins to his name.

He has taken part in all the usual Pony Club activities, but jumping is his passion and where he truly excels. Graham would suit a confident teenager coming off ponies or someone who wants to get out, have fun, and be competitive. He even completed the Bareback Challenge last February. He was previously owned by a mature lady who competed him.

We have gone backwards and forwards on whether to sell him, and it has been an incredibly difficult decision, but ultimately the right one. Graham has plenty of jumps left in him, and someone deserves to enjoy him and have just as much fun with him as we have.

Unfortunately, with our daughter having several other horses, he simply is not getting the time he deserves and is being wasted in the field.

He is exceptionally reliable. Easy to pick up and put down, never sharp or silly, and you can pull him straight out of the field and he will do his job every time.

Beautiful Mare

  • 17 years

  • Good conformation
  • Well mannered

Lily is a beautiful, well-put-together 15.1hh mare with a lovely temperament and a willing attitude. She is been ridden by two competent 17-year-olds and shows potential in everything she does. She hacks out alone or in company, good with traffic & large farm machinery. She also has good manners on the ground, she loads, stands quietly for the farrier, and is regularly handled and ridden on a busy working farm.

On the flat, she produces a lovely, natural shape with a soft snaffle mouth and three balanced paces. She is showing real promise in her schooling, with a naturally rhythmical way of going and a good attitude. Her movement is correct and attractive, and she will only improve further with continued work and strength-building.

Lily enjoys jumping, she always try's her best, however sometimes needs an extra squeeze for reassurance as she has only been bought back into work earlier this year. She is never strong to a fence, with a snaffled mouth, shows scope to jump higher with the right rider.

Lily is currently barefoot, but has worn shoes before, she lives on a working farm, and is used to a busy atmosphere. Lily loves attention and will stand happily while being groomed. She will live in or out. She has had two foals in the past and was ridden before breeding. She was brought back into work earlier this year and has made excellent progress.

Lily is a lovely mare and would suit a competent and capable teen or adult rider looking to enjoy bringing on a kind, talented horse. She is good with the farrier, dentist and vet.

Monty really is the sort that everyone is looking for.

Calm & sensible, with lovely regular paces. He is safe & genuine & is suitable for most riders.

Jumps in a couese of fences in a nice rhythmical way, and is happy over any filler, arena eventing fence or on a cross country course. Happy to go on a miss & won't hold it against you.

Hacks alone or in company.

He is not a world beater, but always gives 100% to what is being asked of him, he would suit more mature rider wanting to do a bit of everything, or a teenager looking for their first horse or a competitive riding club superstar.

Sadly for sale due to older owners ill health.

Polly is a beautifully put-together mare with eye-catching paces and a cracking jump.

She has taken part in a wide variety of competitions and clinics, proving herself to be a genuine all-rounder. She is bold and honest across country, confident with water, steps and ditches, and has successfully completed hunter trials as well as numerous XC hires and lessons.

In showjumping, Polly has won unaffiliated classes up to 90cm, showing plenty of scope and willingness. She has also excelled in dressage, having twice won the prelim winter series at a local venue.

Out hacking happy to go first, last, or alone, and she is excellent in all kinds of traffic.

Polly is good to handle and is fine to be turned out alone or in a group. She is a forward-thinking mare needs a job.

The price is quite reduced as we need a quick sale before Christmas. She hasn’t been in consistent work in 2025 due to having a baby. Therefore she needs someone who has the time to bring her back in to work properly and get her going again.

Offers are welcomed for a quick sale.

If not sold she will continued to be worked and price will increase accordingly.

Stunning Schoolmistress – 16.1hh 11-Year-Old Middleweight Warmblood Mare (NOT marish)

A mare of this type and level is rarely available on the open market. Had her previous owner not stepped back from riding due to university commitments, she simply wouldn’t be for sale.

Khali is a 16.1hh, 11-year-old middleweight warmblood mare with an excellent temperament and a genuine, willing attitude to her work. She previously competed in show jumping and regularly attended training clinics. Since being with us, she has hunted with the C&H Drag and jumped everything asked of her in a steady, reliable manner. She has also competed in arena eventing, show jumped at Felbridge, and is confidently cross-country schooling over BE100 fences.

We have tried her ourselves over show jumps, cross country, on the beach, and out hunting. She hacks calmly alone and in company and is sensible in open spaces.

At home, she schools well on the flat and jumps with ease and scope around 1.10m courses. She is a forward-going but straightforward ride—never sharp, hot, or strong. Although she is a very quiet and easy ride, she would not suit a complete beginner or novice. She has been bred to do a job, and the job she does, she does well. She is the perfect, confident and competent teenager’s dream horse to have plenty of fun with, while also being quiet enough for mum to hack down the road (or to the pub).

Khali would suit a competent teenager for Pony Club or Riding Club activities, including show jumping and eventing, and she would also make a smart teen or ladies’ hunter.

She is very good to load (trailer, two-horse box, or lorry), and good to clip, shoe, and handle in all ways. No stable vices.

Fergus is a 16,1 2010 bay gelding grade A

I have had him 3 years and has taken me from 1m to 1.35 he has only had 2 owners including myself.

It brakes my heart to be advising him but he has done a job for me and is now ready to step down to do the same for someone else. Would be amazing at bronze league

He is absolutely golden to do everything with I have taken him round the country on his own.

Very straight forward to ride.

He is my heart horse so a 10* home is more important than anything

I could write so much more about him so please just call me.

Sweeney is a fantastic allrounder. He is such a fun horse to ride and a pleasure to have around. He has a brilliant brain, and loves to learn and please.

Has previously raced, but has been slowly and carefully produced into a really super all rounder.

He has attended regular lessons, clinics, fun rides and arena hires.

Has been to dressage shows, SJ, and eventing. WON the 70 Cotswold Cup at Pontispool and Double clear Barbury Cotswold Cup 70 last year. This year he has competed at Cirencester and Calsmden 80 double clear, alongside unaffiliated SJ at 90.

Great to hack, load, shoe and clip.

If you seriously want to have fun - this is your horse! He’s full of get up and go, but in a very controllable way with a sensible brain.

Extremely sad and genuine sale of a very loved horse. Only available due to owner returning home to Australia.

Sweeney does have a mild stringholt, but this does not affect his performance.

Based near Swindon.

Orry is a 16.3hh 15yo gelding by the prestigious stallion Primitive Proposal. He has the perfect mix of thoroughbred and warmblood breeding making him a serious athlete with both brain and lovely temperament.

Orry has had a quiet but varied life taking part and excelling in all disciplines. He has done riding club activities, fun rides, hunting etc but really comes into his own out competing. He has expressive paces and an aptitude for work making him a pleasure to school. He is brave, careful and super scope over a fence, holds a rhythm beautifully and always takes you in. He has no BE points so would be a great prospect for badminton grassroots but equally has the scope and ability to go up the grades.

Orry has so much to give and is a real fun loving enthusiastic chap. Hacks alone or in company, will ride and lead and is a pleasure to do on the yard. Would suit a keen amateur/teen who wants to go out and have fun and bring home prizes. No novices.

Beautiful 16.2hh 2012 Irish (green book) bay gelding, out and out seasoned hunter; his main job throughout his years has been hunting.

This lovely lad knows the hunting job inside out with several seasons under his belt, he will cross any country and jumps whatever is in front of him, a mannerly, enjoyable ride that can operate.

Rolex has three nice paces on the flat, works in a lovely frame and has a beautiful canter, snaffle mouthed and would absolutely produce a nice test.

Unbothered by fillers Rolex will just get on with it jumping wise, plenty of airtime in his tank and he gives you loads of confidence, will go off any stride and knows his job. He’s a proper hunter but a nice enough horse to go on and do any job, he’s hunter trialled, done a few SJ shows, beach rides and fun rides.

An absolute sweetheart to have in the yard. Friendly, affectionate and kind. The best hack in the yard, any traffic, any company, he doesn’t care.

Genuine mannerly hunter open to any vet or trainer.

Trial period available.

  • Won 1.10 open & DC 1.15 last time out (Sun 9th Nov)
Gerania is a beautiful 16.1 bay mare. Sired by Cassini Gold out of a Joost mare.
She has successfully competed up to 1.35 level, placing in a Foxhunter Second Round, 1.30 International classes, and jumped Young Rider classes. I sold her in 2021 to a 14yr old boy who she has taken from 90cm to jumping 1.30, winning multiple classes along the way and giving him endless confidence. He has now sadly outgrown her so she is back with me to find her next best home.

Gerania is an easy ride, ridden and produced completely by a young amateur girl from BN! She happily takes a miss and will always help the rider out at all costs. She is also very careful with a good technique over a fence. Not only is Gerania very talented she is also the easiest mare to deal with in all ways. Good to load, travel, shoe, clip. She happily lives out or stabled. Hacks out alone or in company in the busiest traffic or on the beach/mountains. She also enjoys doing bits of cross country and fun rides.

Gerania is super consistent she has recently won 4/6 classes in Belgium in October. She won the 1.10 open and DC 1.15 Members Cup last time out (Sun 9th Nov). Ready to step back to 1.20. She is on current consistent form, loving the job and is ready to go on with her next rider.

Full history is known since an unbroken 3yr old. She has never been over jumped, only did a handful of shows before an 8yr old. She absolutely loves to jump and thrives off going to shows. She really is a dream horse and a rare find! She is also one you can leave and pick up here and there, and always comes out the same.

She will suit a child coming off ponies, an amateur rider, or an older rider wanting a true confidence giver. She NEVER stops and always looks for a way over the fences and will help the rider out at all costs. She will make the ultimate bronze or silver league horse for HOYS 2026. She is extremely quick against the clock and a great diesel horse!

She did sustain an injury to her check ligament beginning of this Summer. Which has recovered very well and she is back consistently jumping with no issues or concerns. She’s had recent scans taken Nov 21st 2025 which have shown it’s healed up 100% and has no active inflammation. Doesn’t get managed any differently. Although has healed with a small lump.
Gerania has always been very sound and healthy and has never required any maintenance injections etc, she runs off fresh air! She was sold 3yrs ago passing 5 stage vetting and a good set of x-rays. She always comes out the stable with a spring in her step ready to go work. She is the type to never want to slow down in life.
Open to any inspection and vetting, good home is paramount.

  • 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.

  • Well bred and well mannered

Introducing Oliver, our absolutely gorgeous 16hh , 9 year old British Warmblood Gelding, looking for a new Mummy Daddy or full family (!) to love , enjoy and share new adventures with.

Oliver is extremely handsome and perfectly correct in every way, he moves like a dream, is well schooled, and always a snaffle mouth. He is a pretty chilled chap, with a laid back nature, which we have found ideal for teaching my novice partner to ride on. Oliver has also been helping my friend’s 16 year old daughter gain confidence and experience. He has improved her riding and flatwork as well as introducing her to showjumping and competition. He is a quality well bred horse. He has a sensible head, and offers a push on type ride, without being lazy he is on the quiter side .

This being said, he can be jazzed up a little when required and has also competed in one day eventing , showjumping at 1m/ 1.05 competition, prelim and novice level dressage and an abundance of pony club and riding club activities. He can clear 4ft with ease! He would also be a fabulous horse for an equestrian centre / college to have on their books, as he would be suitable for such a large variety of riders from the beginners through to the more advanced.

He works nicely in the sand school and also works well in open fields, he doesn’t change in his demeanour. He has hacked through the busy village on his own and also with my daughter on her pony. My 7 year old daughter can lead him in from the paddock and ride him bareback.

He is a lovely boy to fuss with, kiss, cuddle and groom. We have travelled him in both a horsebox and a trailer , and he is good with the farrier, dentist and clipping .

Oliver is fully wormed and vaccinated.

He is happy to live in or out, when he first came to us he did occasionally weave in his stable but this totally subsided after a week or two , however for transparency I’m mentioning it.

Please no time wasters or joy riders, this is extremely sad for us to part with him .
