Contact: Jess (message for more info/videos)

Ryder is a 6-year-old Clydesdale cross gelding with a heart as big as his personality. Currently standing between 15.3hh and 16hh (to be confirmed), he is an eye-catching, solid stamp of a horse who turns heads wherever he goes.
Originally bought for a client, sadly due to unexpected health issues (a third hip operation), she will no longer be able to ride — which is a real shame, as Ryder would have been ideal. Since then, I've continued his education and the more I do with him, the more I believe he’s capable of turning his hoof to anything — he’d even look a picture in the show ring.

Training & Temperament

Ryder was backed at 4 years old but then turned away for 18 months. I’ve given him a full restart and he’s now 12 weeks back under saddle, taking everything in his stride.
Hacking alone or in company — happy in front or behind
Has been ridden and led from
Sensible, curious and forward-thinking
Will occasionally look at things, but nothing spooky — a little encouragement and he cracks on
Beginning his schooling journey now, and showing promise
He’s a genuine people-pleaser — first to the gate, trots over to say hello, and follows you around the field like a dog. He loves attention, cuddles, scratches and, of course, treats.

 On the Ground

Excellent for the farrier — recently had his first set of shoes
Vaccinations and teeth now fully up to date
Clipped for the first time here — behaved like a seasoned pro
Generally polite, though he can be pushy around food (easily managed — a quick finger click and he steps back like a gent)

Home Requirements

Ryder is looking for a knowledgeable, loving home where he’ll continue to be slowly and sympathetically produced. He’s a big softie who thrives on human interaction and would suit someone wanting a quality allrounder with a solid foundation to build upon.
He’s great around dogs, cats, and children — has even had kids sit on him bareback with no issues. Could easily see him being someone’s best mate, family horse, or future show partner.
Homes will be vetted — finding the right match is my top priority, and I don’t want him being passed from pillar to post.
Currently priced at £8,750

Please note this will increase as his training continues.

- Over the age of ten, anything younger than that will not be considered even if it is the most patient of horses out there.
- No Thoroughbreds or horses with blood; I am looking for a stable, heavy cob as I am coming out of the riding school and don’t want anything too fresh or strong.
- Preferably 15hh and over.
- Nothing too fast or too slow; looking for something that has good breaks but enjoys a good canter round the fields.

Murphy is a super 4 year old Irish bred cob (no recorded breeding) gelding, 15.1hh.

Professionally backed last year and turned away to mature then brought back into work earlier this year regularly hacking out on country roads, seeing light traffic. 

He has been in an arena and done some light work. 

He moves well, and is forward thinking, not spooky or been rushed in anyway.

He is good to catch, with farrier, loads and travels well.  Barefoot but has been shod. 

Ready to further his education with a confident and experienced rider only due to his age.  Strictly no novices for this lovely cob.

For further details contact Tom Forsyth, based at Greenlands Equestrian, Carlisle, Cumbria.

Ivan - 16.2HH (approx) 6 year old Irish Draught gelding by the Grade A SJ stallion Darragh Moylough Vision.

Ivan was a just backed 3 year old when I bought him, but he has grown far too big for me, hence this will be a very sad sale of a much loved boy and will only be sold to the right home.

I have brought him on slowly and carefully giving him time to mature. He is good to hack alone and in company. Is schooled regularly and is straight and correct. He has been out regularly attending UA SJ, dressage, arena eventing, combined training and cross country schooling. He has also been autumn trail hunting.

I am sure he will excel in the hunting field or show ring.

Ivan has been well handled on the ground, and is excellent to shoe, bath, clip and loads easily onto a lorry or trailer.

He is up to date with teeth, vaccinations, back and worming.

Ivan is in daily work, so is fit and ready to go.

He is unsuitable for novice/nervous riders as he can still be a little green at times. A competent rider will very easily put him in his box!

Open to vetting.

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.

Alfie has three lovely paces, he’s comfortable and steady, will ride off your voice or your aids and he’s trustworthy and easy in every way, such a safe, happy, laid back chap. Alfie has done fun rides, been to the forest, river, and has done most riding club activities, he also has a few showing classes under his belt.

Alfie will turn his hoof to any job, he’s easy. He has plenty of promise with his jumping, unbothered by coloured fillers or rustic fences, a nice pop in him and will help his pilot out, he will jump from a trot or canter off any stride and doesn’t mind if his rider is wobbly or nervous.

Alfie is fantastic in traffic and he hacks alone and in company, he’s been excellent here with the farm machinery, nothing seems to bother him. Super sane and sensible in open spaces. A nice horse for someone to go out tomorrow and have fun with. Open to any vet or trainer £10500
