  • Looking for an all round nice person to love!

Loving home offered with a varied and fun life for the horse with lots of hacking on sandy tracks, pub rides, groundwork and weekly lessons. I am an equine massage therapist in my spare time so lots of care will be provided! I have some great instructors to help both ridden work and groundwork.

My perfect partner would be:
-14.3 - 16hh MW Stamp
- Good to hack in company, alone and in traffic
- Sensible type!
- I enjoy schooling so something with established basics would be great! In the future I would like to attend low level dressage competitions/training clinics

Lovely airy stable waiting with a window and all year turnout plus 24/7 turnout in the summer. Very happy to keep in touch with regular updates.

We have had our retired pony for nearly 20 years now and still keep in touch with his previous owner.

If you have something suitable I look forward to hearing from you.

Hugo is a lovely pony, we have owned him since a yearling. He was backed last year and turned away, has come back fantastic this spring. Lovely soft mouth and schooling well in all three paces, he loves to please and is a real head turner.

Has been shown locally in hand, and won every time out in good company. Will be a definite contender for toys and fabulous all rounder.

He is a great second pony, and not your typical kick along cob he is forward going and flashy.

He went to his first country ride this week and loved it, remaining safe and sensible even when galloping in a large group.

Serious enquiries only.

  • Good amount of bone

This super sweet, quality old fashioned type mare is going to be somebody's best friend. She is beautiful to look at and the sweetest sole. With a good amount of bone she would be a perfect maxi cob type. She has super breeding!

She is broken and riding away in walk and trot and been a pleasure to do. I haven't been in the sand paddock much with her due to her age and size but have been hacking about on her and is lovely and forward of your leg and enjoying the job!

She is wonderful to deal with on the ground and very manerly. She has been vet checked, teeth done and had her woolf teeth out, wormed up to date and also great for the farrier. She has got front shoes on due to me hacking her out and it being very cobbly around here. Again stood like an angel!

She has no quirks or vices. She is slightly pigeon toed but think as she matures this will get better. No lameness or vet history.

Safe sensible and fun pleasure cob who also steps up as an allrounder

  • Lovely quiet temperament

  • Cob
  • Black
  • Gelding

  • Excels at hacking, fun rides and hunting
  • Nice allrounder who has done some jumping, xc and pony club at low level
  • Lovely quiet temperament
Blackie is the ultimate leisure/pleasure all-rounder with a golden temperament. He is offered for sale on behalf of his owner who’s circumstances have sadly changed leaving no time for him. He is a 15h 5 year old (going on 10!) black Irish cob gelding. He is a real stunning quality stamp who catches the eye where ever he goes. He is gorgeous inside and outside to match and will make someone a horse of a life time for sure. He has good conformation, clean limbs and straight movement. He is such a desirable type as he is a great size for everyone to ride from children to teenagers and adults alike; he would be perfect for a mother/daughter share or family horse for everyone to enjoy. He really excels as a pleasure horse to take on sponsored rides, happy hacks, horse holidays, beach rides, and to do low level riding club on. And best of all he is super safe and very genuine and honest with a quiet gentle temperament.

Blackie is super to hack, he has done more hacking in company due to his owner’s preference but he does also go alone. He has done lots of hacking in groups and trekking through the country side on an easy rein. He is very sensible in open spaces and will happily canter at the back of the group without getting strong or competitive. You can drop you reins on him in canter and he won’t run away, in fact quite the opposite. He is great with traffic and hacks straight out onto a busy through road where traffic goes flying past him. He is super with arctic Lorries and tractors passing him too. He is a lovely medium to ride when out hacking which makes him a real pleasure to ride. He has been on lots of pleasure rides which he really does excel at, he gives other horses confidence as he is such a calm influence. He is so much fun on pleasure rides and always makes you smile and have a good ride. He has been on beach rides where he is always fantastically behaved and loves the water. He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays and enjoy hours of exploring together as he is super comfy too and relaxed in new places. He has also hunted in Ireland with a 13 year old girl where he proved safe and steady so would also suit a hunting home. He would also excel in a trekking centre.

Blackie has good basic schooling established with lovely natural paces. His paces are very smooth and comfortable. He is a steady ride in the school and does need some leg from his rider to keep him going. This makes his rider feel very safe and confident. He has been ridden by novices as well as more competent riders and adapts well. He has also been ridden by children and really looked after them. He is snaffle mouthed for everything with a lovely light mouth. He is very forgiving and doesn't mind if his rider loses balance or misses a beat, he will just slow down and let you catch your balance. He is a basic walk, trot and canter in the school, can sometimes get the wrong canter lead on one rein as he is more used to cantering in straight lines on a hack. He has also just learnt walk to canter which he does very well so he is very willing and trainable. He is alos starting to work in a nice outline. He could easily school up and do some dressage as his paces are good and he has a lovely rhythm. He would suit a wide range of riders from competent novices through to more experienced riders that just want a straight forward easy going ride that they can pick up and put down as he doesn’t require daily riding to keep sane.

Blackie enjoys his jumping. He is very honest and genuine to jump, he looks after his rider and will happily just trot in or equally come in canter. He doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. He is a very much point and aim type who helps his rider out. He isn’t a world beater but enjoys to have a go and has jumped around 80cm. He jumps fillers and water trays. He has been to some local training shows and unaffiliated comps in Ireland as well as pony club. He has also been xc schooling several times where he was such a good boy.. Hes very confident and jumps everything first attempt including ditches and water. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently but remains steady and very safe and sensible. He would excel at hunter trails as well as being suitable for all low level pony club and riding club activities.

Blackie has a superb quiet temperament. He really is such a nice sweet person who wants to be everyone’s friend and wouldn’t hurt a fly. He is easy to handle and is very polite with manners to burn. He loves to be groomed and pampered. He is such a kind loving boy who is very gentle and calm. He is very good to catch, bath, shoe, load, catch ect. He will live alone or in company and in or out, he just goes with the flow and is bottom of the pecking order. He would make a wonderful addition to a family.

He would make the perfect leisure/pleasure horse for hours of hacking and fun rides with some bits of riding club thrown in for fun. It is really important to his owner that Blackie finds a 10* home where he will be loved and enjoyed.

Passed a 5 stage vetting 2 months ago that can come with him and is open to re vetting. Videos available on request. Based in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. £11,250.

Ivan
16.2HH (approx) 6 year old Irish Draught gelding by the Grade A SJ stallion 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 rugby home.

I have brought him on slowly and carefully giving him time to mature. He hacks 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 have green moments.

Open to vetting.

  • With his laid-back attitude and kind temperament, Jimmy is proving to be incredibly easy to ride.

Meet Jimmy, a sweet-natured 4-year-old bay gelding standing at 14.1hh, with a touch more growing still to do. This lovely little cob is as genuine and straightforward as they come – a real find for someone looking for a safe, friendly, and versatile young pony to bring on and enjoy. With his laid-back attitude and kind temperament, Jimmy is proving to be incredibly easy to produce and ride. He is already showing great promise as a future first pony and would suit a novice or someone wanting a steady, honest companion to gain confidence on.

Jimmy is a true sweetheart both in and out of the stable. He thrives on attention, always the first to the gate and happiest when he’s being fussed over. He absolutely adores being groomed and cuddled, and he takes everything in life in his stride with a calm and willing approach. Under saddle, Jimmy is easy and uncomplicated. He rides in a soft snaffle, listens well, and never gets strong or silly. He has a lovely balanced way of going.

What really makes Jimmy stand out is his natural enthusiasm for jumping and cross country. He’s incredibly brave and honest over a fence, never looks twice at any obstacle, and is always willing to try. He has schooled cross country with us and loves it – happily popping over banks, ditches, logs, and water with ears pricked and a great attitude. Jimmy has jumped up to 80cm under saddle and shows plenty of scope loose schooling over 90cm with ease, so we believe he will continue to progress with the right rider.

He would make an ideal Pony Club pony or a cracking candidate for hunter trials and fun rides. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back friend to hack out, a safe all-rounder, or a pony with the potential to compete, Jimmy is ready for the job. He hacks out both alone and in company, is well used to farm machinery, and is good in all kinds of traffic. He is also easy to catch, box, shoe, and clip, and he behaves beautifully in all the day-to-day handling.

Jimmy is the kind of pony that settles in quickly and makes himself part of the family. Everyone in the yard adores him – he really is the sweetheart of the stable. He has no stable vices and is open to any vetting.

His price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not happy – though we’re confident that once you meet him, you won’t want to part with him.

Take a look at his video to see Jimmy in action, and feel free to get in touch any time.

Jerry | 15hh Black Gelding | Smashing Cob with Style and Substance

Meet Jerry, a striking 15hh black cob gelding with serious presence and a brave, forward-going attitude paired with rideability. At just four years old, Jerry already shows the quality, confidence, and character of a much older horse, making him an exciting and versatile prospect for the future.

Jerry is a real head-turner with a strong, compact build, excellent conformation, and that classic cob charm. He is forward-going in the best way—keen, responsive, and full of energy—yet he remains sensible, safe, and good to ride, making him both enjoyable and reliable under saddle. He thrives on work and loves to be ridden, giving his best each time and always eager to please.

He is easy to catch, box, shoe, and he takes new experiences in stride. Out hacking, Jerry is confident and happy both alone and in company. He is good in traffic and unbothered by noise or movement, making him a dependable ride whether on the roads or exploring open countryside.

Jerry has a lovely step and natural movement that, combined with his brave attitude and eye-catching presence, give him real potential for the show ring. He would also be well-suited to riding club activities or simply as a fun and capable all-rounder for someone who enjoys an active, forward-going ride. While he has plenty of presence and energy, he is still genuine, kind, and easy enough for a competent amateur or confident novice to enjoy.

This smashing cob is full of promise and ready to continue his education with someone who will appreciate his enthusiasm and ability. He has no stable vices, is open to any vetting, and comes with the added peace of mind that delivery to your yard in the UK is included in the price.

If you’re looking for a smart, stylish cob with the movement, mindset, and manners to go far, Jerry is one not to miss.

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.

Approx 15.3hh, bay roan, Connemara x Irish Draught gelding with full green passport.

Wolfie was lightly started last year and has been back in work since April 25, taking everything in his stride. Has always been confident to hack alone and in company and had no issues with any traffic met including tractors, cyclists, school buses and milk lorries.

Stands politely at the mounting block and is good with gates.

He has recently started jumping, proving to be very bold over fillers, planks and water trays. He has been cross country schooling and again was unfazed, happily popping hedges, barrels, steps, ditches, water etc without a lead.

A pet at home being super chilled and loves a groom and fuss. Gets on with field mates and can be stabled or out 24/7.

Fully vaccinated, loads, travels and stands happily when he’s out and about and has been polite to handle in all situations. Wolfie is barefoot but excellent with the farrier.

Very smart and always willing but due to young age will need a knowledgeable and experienced home as he is still learning.

Sad sale as owner will be undergoing two planned surgeries over the next few months and needs to recuperate.

Regularly seen by physio and has had wolf tooth removed and regular dental checks. Passed vetting on purchase and is open to any vetting.
