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.

WANTED: Experienced home awaits a sporty mare


Ref #: 400435
  • 15.1 - 16.2hh, 6-9 years
  • 5* home on a quiet, rural yard
  • Open to projects

Experienced private owner offering a genuine 5?? long-term home.

I have over 20 years’ experience owning horses and am a lightweight, quiet, and sympathetic rider. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, correct basics, and allowing horses to progress at their own pace.

My current horse is a 23-year-old mare, retired for the past three years due to age-related medical issues. She remains with me permanently, and I’m now looking for my next long-term equine partner.

The horse would be kept at a quiet rural livery yard with miles of off road hacking and on site owners (I would be the primary caregiver and live only a few miles away) providing daily oversight.

Horse Sought

- 15.1–16.2hh
- 6–9 years old
- Mare preferred, although geldings considered
- ISH / Warmblood type preferred (not looking for a cob, or anything chunky)
- Naturally forward-going with a good jump
- Well-schooled or sensibly produced
- Able to hack alone and in company (essential)
- Good to clip, catch, shoe, and load
- Kind, straightforward temperament on the ground and easy to work with
- Sensible project considered (green, recently out of work, or needing education) - providing any quirks or blemishes are disclosed.

I’m not looking for a finished article; temperament, trainability, and potential are more important than mileage. A horse with scope to compete at novice / newcomers, in time would be ideal.

I’m based in Central Scotland, so sensible distances preferred, though I’m willing to travel for the right horse.

Please WhatsApp or email in the first instance with full details and photos.

As this is a forever home and I do not sell horses on, realistic prices only, please.

References happily provided.
