  • Loving and experienced forever home offered
  • Safe and sensible type wanted
  • Looking for a partner to go out there and enjoy life together!

A loving home offered with a fun and varied life for the horse with hacking onto sandy tracks, groundwork, weekly lessons, pub rides and riding club activities. Established basics would be great for low level dressage and training clinics. 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.

Ideally looking for:
-14.3 - 16hh MW Stamp (Cobs/Irish Draft/Connie X/ISH types)
- Good to hack in company, alone and in traffic
-Been there and done that type
-Gelding only (due to livery space available)

Lovely airy stable waiting with a window and all year herd turnout plus 24/7 turnout over the summer. Very happy to keep in touch with regular updates. We have had our retired pony (now 32) for over 20 years and still keep in touch with his previous owner.

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

This gorgeous chap floats across the floor and will make a seriously fun pony club, riding club type

His paces are truly special, I am sure he will go on to exceed in any sphere

He has done unaff SJ, XC and DR

Great to load

Good to clip, needs sedation to do whole legs

Currently unshod (super feet!)

Hacks alone or in company , front or last

Jumps anything in front of him

He is greener on the flat and would benefit from some schooling in this area

Sadly he is looking for a new home due to personal reasons

His price is very negotiable to a good home

Rafi had been with us for around 9months, we bought him as a step up for our daughter from her 14hh Welsh. He is a forward going chap with big movement, so rides like a horse, we feel that she would be better suited to an older been there type and that Rafi deserves to find someone with as much ambition as himself!

Whilst he is forward and fun, he is not nasty, he will however have the odd excitable buck if you really tighten your reins and tense up- so really suited to an equally fun forward rider

We feel he would excel in the hunting field, and has hacked with many dogs here, he has not actually been with hounds

  • This top quality lad has the basics in place and is ready to take on the world
Anyone looking for a top class HOYS quality gentleman of a horse: here he is!

Fabulous Irish Draught gelding by Coilldarach Scirocco, out of a Welcome Flagmount mare

This striking lad is recently backed and ridden away - he is hacking out confidently alone and happily having a walk, trot and canter in the school and out in the field. He has been to a couple of arena hires, where he behaved impeccably - he takes everything in his stride with an exceptional attitude.

A clean limbed straight mover with 10" of bone; Max is a serious HOYS centre line Maxi prospect or top contender for Draught classes - He moves with power, elevation, and natural rhythm, as well as showing a scopey, expressive jump that promises real talent for the future. He would look exceptional on the hunting field and is certain to turn heads wherever he goes.

Easy to catch, bath & load and travels like a pro.
Affectionately known as "Hippopotamax", this yard favourite is a pleasure to have around. He is a real eye catcher and is sure to do his best in any job.

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.
