He has:

Proven success in Preliminary and Novice Dressage again qualifying for Trailblazers.

He has a brilliant attitude out hacking – alone or in company

Spot is the ideal family share horse – suitable for a parent or child, and substantial enough to carry a gentleman. Despite his size he doesn't ride at all big. Hes a real steady Eddie type, kind and manageable for a smaller or younger rider also.

Straight as a die, kind-hearted, and truly trustworthy – Spot is ready to be someone’s best friend and competition partner.

Good to box, shoe, clip etc. He can be a little rude to lead at times but easily sorted once he respects you!

• Maxi Cob
• Black
• Gelding
• 8 years
• 16.2 hands

• Absolute Gentleman in every way
• True Allrounder
• Perfect Hack

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase outstanding Maxi Cob, who is a true gentleman and would turn his hoof to anything. It’s an extremely sad and genuine sale due to owners previous health issues.

Murphy is out and out the yard favourite, he is a saint to do on the ground and ridden, he’s a complete pleasure to have on the yard.

Murphy has been in the same home since a 4 year old, where he has been his owners best friend. They go on long distance hacks, pleasure rides, pole work clinics, lessons, and just general fun. Him and his owner would always go to places on their own, he’s a gem to handle and get ready.

Bought from Ireland as a 4yo to make 15.2, Murphy just didn’t stop growing and had just become too big for my client to tack up due to her own health issues.

We can’t fault this lovely horse, he has no vices, hacks out in the heaviest alone and in company, always snaffle mouthed, never been sick or sorry and is everyone’s best friend.

We have excellent viewing facilities in Worcester just 15 mins off the motorway.

• 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.

• Reliable Type

The ultimate confidence giving school master - meet Ernie

A beautiful 16.2hh, 15yo, ISH gelding - Fantastic breeding

Ernie has a superb eventing CV and knows his job inside and out

Hacks alone and in company with no issues or vices. Really bold , brave and reliable in traffic and open spaces. He could take a first timer out no problem.

A real schoolmaster in the arena! Three beautifully balanced and correct paces. Always snaffle mouthed and more of a leg in each corner type. Has well established changes installed and great success inside the white boards. Currently giving lessons to my yard girls and adored by all who sit on him

Jumps effortlessly. Skips should 1m10s with his eyes shut. Really is a a super forgiving boy and is more than happy to take a miss. A very careful chap who knows the job and will always get the rider out of trouble. Super rideable to a fence and easy to navigate around a course. The type that could take someone from trotting poles to jumping metre classes. He’s a real teacher who loves to please

Enjoys XC and fun rides! Remains his uber mannerly self in open spaces

Stands solidly at the mountain block

Excellent to shoe, bath , clip, catch, load & travel

Ernie is miserable in the stable and very possessive over his food. I believe this would be down to his lack of weight and condition when we first had him last year. Can also be seen to windsuck at feed times (really manageable with a collar and shouldn’t put anyone off) We’ve spent the winter very slowly but surely getting weight back on him and is now feeling and looking brand new

Clean legs and very sounds and straight moving

Although Ernie is push button , he is also a horse with an engine and therefore I would say is a competitive school master and would suit someone wanting a competitive horse but on a budget
