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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

Pearl is a full ID 7yr mare by Tors Gentleman Farmer

She’s been really well schooled on the flat and has 3 balanced paces. She hacks alone and in company and past heavy farm traffic. She’s good the handle and do on the ground.

She does have sweetitch which is only affecting her head and neck, we have found this easy to manage with a rug. She has been hogged previously but her mane is growing back fast which we plan to leave.

She would suit someone looking for a nice alrounder/hunter, we feel this lovely mare could turn her hoof to anything with her attitude.

We have taken her SJ and XC schooling which she really enjoyed. She’s got a lovely natural jump and clearly has scope to go higher

Dotty (Dothan Natasha) is a beautiful shire mare who has a gorgeous personality to match! Loves people and attention and enjoys a good groom!

We’ve allowed her to mature slowly and has had lots of groundwork and desensitisation in readiness for the big world. She’s had a bridle and saddle on and has been walked out on roads - nothing has phased her at all! She followed and lead with no issues. She has been sat on and walked around so she’s ready to step it up now!

She’s only for sale as she’s just not getting enough attention as one of four horses. She’d love to have her person to dote on her every wish. She is very gentle and keen to please.

She currently lives out and comes in daily for a feed, fuss and a bit of work. She comes to call and brings herself in. She’s currently barefoot with good feet. Up to date with farrier, dentist and physio.

Could make wonderful brood mare. Open to any inspection.

BANDIT

  • Pony club/hunting
  • Great family horse
  • Exceptional temperament
Bandit is a 4YO Cob with an old head on young shoulders, I have owned him since he was a yearling and know his full history, he has been carefully and professionally produced and now needs to find the right home where he can reach his full potential.

He has grown up on a farm so he is not at all fazed by heavy machinery or any type of livestock including pigs!

He is schooling well on the flat and has been enjoying cross country schooling, he effortlessly pops 70/80cms and has been Autumn hunting and at all times demonstrating an easy going sensible attitude and never getting fizzy.

He is loved by everyone on the yard and loves nothing more than a good pamper!! Excellent to clip, shoe, dentist, hack alone or in company and he travels both in a trailer or lorry. No vices.

Bandit is forward going and a very fun ride, he enjoys his work and is often hacked by an 11 year old and always looks after her. I feel he would be best suited to a competent young teen or mother/daughter share who wants to do pony club or hunt as I feel he would thrive from a varied workload, he is the ultimate Allrounder.

Despite the fact I would describe him as bombproof I would not say he is suitable for a complete novice as he is only young himself and needs someone that is knowledgeable enough to continue his education.

Ideal Mother/daughter/son share. No dealers and homes will be vetted, only the best home for this much loved boy.

Lots of recent videos on request; excellent trial facilities.

Striking Allrounder / Maxi Cob

Gunner is a quality maxi cob type with three balanced paces and a super, willing attitude to life. He has been brought on slowly and correctly, giving him a solid and sensible foundation.

He has seen and done a bit of everything out hacking - he is absolutely brilliant to hack alone and is equally as great in company and will go anywhere you put him, front or back. He is totally unfazed by traffic, farm machinery, or open spaces/beaches with a lot going on and rogue kids/dogs and paddle boards everywhere. He is not silly or spooky and is just a pleasure to ride out and you feel incredibly safe on him. He can also be left by others in a group and will still walk along on the buckle whilst they head off in the distance. He will also stand patiently for a long time when out and about. He would actually make a very good police horse.

On the flat, Gunner has 3 nice paces and smooth transitions, he is still a bit green purely due to his age and size but he is very trainable and rideable. He’s been out and done intro dressage comps and has won. He’s now ready to step up to the next level.
He shows a bold, genuine jump and would make a fabulous hunter. He also has the scope and temperament for grassroots BE, riding club, pleasure rides, clinics… the list goes on! With his substance and presence, he would easily suit a gentleman rider.

Gunner is the sweetest boy and has the kindest temperament, he thrives off human attention and is basically an overgrown Labrador!
He lives in or out and is very good to catch (comes to call) bath, groom & tack up.

He’s good with the vet and up to date with teeth and vaccinations.

Good with the farrier and is currently fully shod due to hacking being road/very stony tracks, there’s no reason he couldn’t go barefoot if the hacking is good ground.

A truly versatile, eye-catching horse who will turn heads wherever he goes.

Open to vetting (sailed through a 5 stage earlier this year).

Flashy Allrounder

14.3hh 9yrs old WPB Black gelding. Charlie is a very smart horse, he has 3 balanced flashy paces and works into a contact. Competed at pony club, dressage, XC and SJ events.

Charlie has a lovely jump happily popping course of 80 with scope for higher. Has done unaffiliated dressage with ability to progress.Hacks alone and in company. Good to clip/ shoe/ box/ catch.

Charlie has been our much-loved happy hacker and leisure horse. He’s mostly been used at pony club, hacking and schooling by our teenage daughter, but unfortunately, due to a change in circumstances our daughter is no longer able to give him what he needs.

He’s a fun, forward-going ride with that classic Welsh spark. He’s never nasty, but he does have that cheeky, intelligent Welsh nature, so he’s best suited to a confident and experienced rider who can enjoy and channel his personality.

In the right hands, he’ll make someone an absolutely brilliant partner and go a long way – whether it’s for hacking, fun rides, or even bringing on further if you want to do more.

5* home only where he’ll be loved as much as he is here.

Up to date with dentist and vaccinations.

Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a viewing/ride.

BONNIE BLUE

  • Would be a machine out hunting

  • Super old fashioned Irish mare who will go on to do any job
  • Would be a machine out hunting

Bonnie is a type increasingly hard to find, she’s a solid MW and a square leg at each corner sort but is still quality.

Bonnie is a real treasure. She is now working sweetly on the flat and starting to get the idea of working on the bridle, she is straightforwards to ride and happy to just continue if her rider has a wobble. She stays in a good rhythm and really tries to please, she is obviously still green but shows a lot of promise in her work and is naturally balanced. Bonnie is definitely a jumper!

She has got a great technique, and gets better with every session. She is just awesome, she’s very brave, careful and straightforward. She has had her first taste of XC with us and was great fun and very brave with a lot more to come from her! She will go on and do a bit of everything very well and be a top class all rounder.

I could see her going and being a lot of fun grassroots eventing, SJ (you wouldn’t know how much scope she’s got so who knows how far she will go!) she would be a machine out hunting (has now been on hound exercise with us and very well behaved), love fun rides or equally she’s kind and simple and loves

 

Her attitude to work is just the best, she is the definition of a trier. In addition to being such a total sweetheart under saddle she’s very kind to handle, good to catch, clip, box, good with farrier and just a ice easy person to have on the yard.

She is happy to live in, out and not mareish and friends with everyone.

I adore her and can’t wait to see what she becomes.

 

Video does no justice as she's come on a lot since it was taken.
