He is a really Handsome well put together and unusually marked young gelding who is going to be a super ridden prospect for the future

Will make 15hh if not already there

Super friendly and bold, does however need some re handling as been turned away for a year in large field

Great to catch and groom but feet need work, I feel sure once brought in or somewhere with better facilities will come on quickly

Very sad sale but just don't have the time or energy for a young man it is a bargain price

It's all there just needs a little more time and a firm hand for a bit

Really hoping for a loving forever home

4 years old 15hh heavy cob with hair and feather to die for…

He’s been backed and was hacked and got to see the world abit and been left to grow and mature. He’s VERY intelligent and an absolute dream to own and has so much character. He has very athletic paces with a real can do attitude and would excel in a dressage/showing home!

He’s seen ALL farm machinery and chaos on the farm including cows and hairy cows with horns which he just wants to be friends with. He needs a little bit of encouragement loading but that’s due to not doing so much but once he’s on the box he’s a pro and travels like a dream!

He went to puddledub spring show in hand and was a total showman and wasn’t bothered about anything going on around him happily munched grass in the collecting ring watching the world go by.

He’s good with the vet, been seen by the dentist regularly and doesn’t need sedated and getting better with farrier for his trims!

Serious enquiries only and can send more pictures and videos of him on request.

The kindest mare you will ever meet who is really coming into her own.
15.2hh 5yr old reg ID x cob by King of Mourne.

Jessie is a very kind, sweet horse who people cannot help but fall in love with. Not only is she beautiful to look at, very nice short coupled conformation, big uphill paces she also has the best personality a horse can have.

Not at all marish, she turns out with mares, geldings or alone, excellent to catch, load, shoe, bath, in and out of the stable and is just an absolute pleasure to have around.

Jessie improves every time under saddle, schooling nicely in all 3 paces and learning some basic lateral work. She’s intelligent and a quick learner, however she wouldn’t suit a novice rider as still has so much to learn herself although hasn’t bucked, reared, napped or done anything out of line.

We have popped a few fences which she seems to enjoy, she always has a go and never says no.

Jessie hacks alone or in company, she’s excellent in traffic, hacks over the M62 and over railway crossings, stands at traffic lights and will hack past a busy school whilst children are playing.

Absolutely no vices, the loveliest horse to have on the yard. Totally clean legged and excellent feet (only shod in front) no blemishes. Would either be hogged out as a cob or would plait as a show hunter.

Up to date with worming, farrier and dentist.

Only a very special home need apply as she really wants a best friend.

16hh | 2020 Irish Cob Gelding
Norfolk, 15k Ono saddle and rugs available please call number below and speak to Nicole

Tom is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of his own. He was bought 5 months ago (with a clean vetting).
Current owner is a nervous rider and the partnership hasn’t been the right fit.

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, and ride him consistently.

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, and barefoot.

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, however he is still green/ young. He has lovely movement and is keen to learn. He can be a bit wobbly, needs strengthening work and bringing on.

He’s ridden in a snaffle and has a naturally willing attitude, he just needs miles, confidence and consistency.

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 5 months ago, 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 novices. Ideal for someone wanting a fun, kind horse to bring on with time and consistency.
Lots of videos available on request.

  • Blank Canvas
  • Future Allrounder
  • Open to loan or sale
I’m open to long term-permanent loan or sale.

Sadly available to the best of homes, only due to the rising costs of things.

Blank canvas 3yo (4 in May) 15.1hh Cob x Connemara mare. Expected to top 15.2/3.

Needs an experienced home, a quiet but confident handler. Came over from Ireland quite shy, but has really built in confidence with daily routine, quiet hand and work.

Still needs work on picking up her back feet, she was coming on well but has been out in the field for 3/4 weeks and has “forgotten” how to pick her feet up sensibly!

She’s my dream horse, so I’m devastated to say the least.

She unfortunately has shown to itch her mane in the stable and sometimes her dock, not constantly but enough for me to be suspecting a mild sweetitch. No creams or anything was needed.

Up to date with vaccines, wolf teeth removed and has seen her physio (no particular reason, I just like to keep my horses feeling good).

Easy to tie up, lead, catch, rug, groom and is good to bath.

Must go to an experienced home that’ll do her justice, she’s a sensitive girl and can take things the wrong way! She can loose trust very easily if you do something wrong. She needs someone with patience and quietness, then she’ll be your best friend.

Also food is a way to her heart!

Great to long rein, has been fully tacked up and walked down the lanes, sat on in walk.

Good in traffic.

Based in Gloucestershire.

He offers three lovely paces, works in a nice frame and he rides in a snaffle, would produce a lovely test, he isn’t spooky, sharp or strong, he’s balanced and easy, with a great canter and a great step.

Lennie is fabulous over a fence, he has done plenty of hunting, stands beautifully and jumps anything!

He is unbothered by rustic or coloured fences, careful, will take a miss and will cross any country, a super hunter and a super nice riding club type.

He’s a class hack, alone and in company, will ride and lead, unbothered by all traffic and just an easy going laid back type.

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 blue and white Irish mare 4 yrs



Super old fashioned Irish mare who will go on to do any job. 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 grass roots eventing, SJ ( you wouldn’t know how much scope she’s got so who knows how far she will go!) Bonnie is a machine out hunting and has been out weekly on hound exercise and to opening meets visiting various packs, she is made for the job, stands quietly, excellent with hounds, hunts in a snaffle and jumps anything and everything, combined with being very sensible and eye catching she is one in a million! She has been hunting with us with several different riders and gives everyone a great day.

Bonnie love fun rides, she's the sort you can take anywhere, she’s kind and simple and loves her hacking alone and in company and is good in traffic. We have hacked her extensively, taken her to the beach / pub and given her a good start to seeing the world. She is my go to if I ever have a novice friend wanting to come hacking as she is very quiet and really is anybodies ride!

We have been hunting Bonnie with all the local packs and she is cracking and made for the job, she's hunted now with several different riders bothe male and female and given everyone a great day, she's very genuine to jump and happy to give a lead if needed, hedges, timber, nothing is any bother to her. She stands like a rock when asked and is good with hounds.

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, for fresh videos and hunting ones please send a Whatsapp

Tilly

Tilly (Big Lil) is our much loved rising 4yr old Irish cob mare, she’s stood 15h still with a bit of growth to do, to make 15.1h.

Tilly was bred in Ireland, I have pics of sire and dam, both chunky Irish cobs. She was broken to ride and drive 6 months ago and is now a super all round cob, very quiet, well mannered and sweet natured.

She has an old head on young shoulders, has been a confidence giver for nervous rider the past couple of months. She has mainly hacked due to age, has seen lots of traffic, hacked round estates and on main roads as well as fields and bridle paths.

Has been in the school a few times for basic walk trot canter, more woah than go type but isn’t a total plod either. She tries very hard to please and is very sweet.

Five star family is paramount, we’d love to keep in touch with her! She’s very special to us and would have to go a long way to find one as good as her again.

Loads and travels like a gem, I can take her out on my own and know she will be sensible, stands on the box etc fine. Good with other horses, to catch handle etc, has driven previously.

Staffordshire based, can deliver anywhere
