Patrick is a genuinely unspoilt, rising 4 year old gelding with a wonderful temperament. He is a true “dope on a rope” to lead and handle, and a pleasure to have on the yard. He is currently measuring at 15.3hh and has 10.5” of bone.

He happily lives in or out, and turns out sensibly with both mares and geldings. Patrick has loaded and travelled on a wagon several times without issue, and has been walked out in traffic and seen farm machinery.

Patrick is unbroken, ready for someone to produce their own way. He has a willing nature and steady outlook on life. With his temperament, he could excel as a future allrounder, safe hack, hunter, or even a therapy/RDA type with the right training. He’s a total blank canvas ready for someone to bring out his full potential.

A super friendly, easy going cob who will be a lovely project for someone wanting a genuine youngster with a bright future ahead. Cobs of this size, stamp and nature are increasingly hard to find. Patrick combines height, bone and presence with an exceptionally kind, easy going outlook.

Photos don’t quite capture him, and you’ll need to look past the winter woollies, but he’s going to mature into a seriously smart cob.

MARTHA - Sweet 2021 15hh coloured Irish mare, with a very friendly and kind personality.

Martha is a sweetheart to handle and have around, she’s very friendly, inquisitive and easy. She’s fantastic to hack out when she is on her own or with others, sensible in open spaces and great in all types of traffic.

Martha has three nice paces on the flat, she works in a snaffle and would produce a nice dressage test, she has great self carriage and works in a nice frame.

Jumping wise she’s great. She will pop rustic fences and coloured fences and we have jumped her up to 90cm, she’s done some low level riding club activities and she’s a nice type for someone to get home and enjoy straight away.

Despite being young Martha is safe and sensible, she’s a quiet ride and enjoys work.

She’s a lovely stamp and could certainly go in the show ring, a real take the leg up type.

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.

16hh | 2020 Irish Cob Gelding

Tom is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of his own. He was bought in June (with a clean 5 stage vetting). Unfortunately nerves have got the best of current owner.

He’s a sweet, genuine boy who naturally takes his confidence from his rider. He needs someone who is carefree and happy to kick on, give him guidance.

Tom originally came over from Ireland and has been well handled. On the ground he is a joy — friendly, polite, loves attention, and will stand all day to be groomed or fussed. Good to load, catch and bath.

Under saddle, Tom shows all the promises to be a fantastic all rounder, whether you want a dressage or show partner or a horse to go have fun on and go hunting! He has correct flashy paces. He has lovely movement and is keen to learn.

He’s ridden in a snaffle and has a naturally willing attitude, he has it all there just now needs to go out and show off!

He hacks alone and in company, has seen all sorts of traffic, and is sensible in open spaces.

He hasn’t jumped since being purchased, but previously enjoyed it and was bold and honest when he went XC schooling before his sale.

Tom will make someone a really rewarding partner — he’s safe, sweet, and tries his best, but he’s young and needs a confident rider who can support him and help him continue developing.

Not suitable for complete novices owing to age.
Lots of videos available on request.

She is confident over poles and small obstacles and always tries her best; never sharp, spooky or silly, simply straightforward and eager to learn. With a more competent rider, she will work into a soft outline and is already showing promising development in suppleness, balance and responsiveness to the leg, including the early stages of lateral work.

She is wonderfully safe and sensible, naturally more whoa than go. If a rider loses balance or stirrups, she will quietly come back to walk without being asked, making him incredibly forgiving and confidence-building for riders with less knowledge.

She has a big, genuine heart and learns quickly. Despite not having done extensive arena work, she puts his heart and soul into everything asked of her. Her slow and steady outlook on life, paired with her calm, unflappable temperament, means nothing much phases her.

Her experience has been primarily trekking and hacking, and this is where she truly shines. She will happily plod along on a loose rein and look after his rider in any environment, making her a super kind, uncomplicated type for someone who wants to put their own stamp on a genuine, honest horse. She is most definitely a sturdy sure footed mare with a leg in each corner.

She does not fizz up, spook, shy, rush, pull or behave in a silly manner. Her chilled, steady temperament remains the same wherever she goes.

Astrid hacks in the heaviest of traffic without batting an eyelid, waiting politely at junctions without moving, staying rock-solid as lorries, buses, tractors, trailers, motorbikes and farm machinery pass closely by. Open fields are no problem either; she has impeccable manners in open spaces and has cantered and gently galloped on grass verges beside busy roads. In a group, she is happy leading, in the middle or at the back, never pulling or trying to overtake if anything, she sometimes needs reminding to keep up!

She also hacks out alone with complete confidence and a mature, ladylike attitude. Absolutely nothing seems to faze her, making her an ideal partner for someone wanting a reliable, safe and genuine horse who will give confidence and enjoy life at a steady pace.

Astrid can be ridden every now and again and have the same chilled out attitude as when ridden daily.

She is excellent catch, load, travel, bath, clip, groom, farrier, dentist, vet.

She absolutely loves to be pampered, she will stand all day without a head collar and lead rope whilst being groomed, bathed, cuddled and fussed over.
She stands quite happily in her stable eating her hay with the door open, never attempting to walk out unless asked.

She gets lead, caught and handled by the smallest of children, she is quite happy being dragged around the yard on the end of a lead rope.

She will stand at a mounting block without moving until mounted, regardless of how long it takes.

Snaffle mouth with absolutely no gadgets.

She is currently stabled during the day and out at night within a mixed herd, she is equally happy to be stabled or turned out full time, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble despite being out with 30 other horses.
She isn’t clingy or marish in any way and is happy being stable and or turned out solo.

Astid will give confidence to any rider/ handler and could easily compete at riding club level, fun/beach rides.

She can go for months without work then be tacked up and ridden without any fuss, she is extremely low maintenance, she maintains her weight all year round on grass and hay and Haylage during the winter months.
She has never been lame had laminitis, sweet-itch or sarcoids.

In the whole time I have her I can honestly say she has never been lame, sick or sorry, my vet can verify this, she has passed the riding school annual inspections with flying colours, this is equivalent to a stage 2 vetting.

Looking for a five star private home to give someone the opportunity to purchase a safe and very sensible horse, with so much to offer.

Astrid is being sold on behalf of my son as a private sale
