DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

Ref #: 249896
  • 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.

Allrounder / Dressage Horse Wanted

Forever, 5* loving home waiting

Ref #: 241008

  • Happy to hack alone and in company
  • Ideally warmblood
  • Forever home waiting
£10,000
  • 15.2 - 17.3hh
  • 5 - 14 Years old
  • Happy to hack alone and in company
  • Ideally warmblood
  • Forever home waiting

I am looking for my new best friend. A horse that is kind, loving and sensible that would be happy to do a variety of activities at a low level. Mainly dressage and hacking but I do want to do some low level show jumping and cross country next year. Ideally this horse will hack with and without company.

I'm looking for a friendly, big gelding who loves a cuddle (or may grow to love them). Ideally warmblood who is happy doing a bit of everything. This horse will no means be over used and ridden around 3-4 days a week.

I don't mind a horse with quirks as long as they are not dangerous, I'm used to shying and spooks as long as they take confidence from their rider with a laugh and pat.
I don't want a horse that rears or bolts. I do want a horse that I can enjoy and have fun with so please be honest about any issues when contacting me. It won't necessarily put me off as long as I know what it is and how it's managed for the right horse.

Must be happy to be vetted or inspected if there are pre existing issues.

Please text 07516 482883 initially with any questions or information/photos/videos. I may not be able to answer quickly due to work.

My budget is firm, up to £10,000 for the right horse, so please do not contact me if you're not willing to sell within my budget.
