Bonnie is a 15hh 5yr old mare. She’s been with us since 3yrs old and we know her full history. She has been professionally backed and schooled correctly and slowly over the last 8 months. Bonnie is currently out 24/7 in a small mixed herd and is easy to catch and bring in.

She would happily be stabled. She’s great to hack out alone or in company and great open fields/ bridle paths. She’ll happily hack past her own field with her friends in. She can be a little nervous on the road alone. She’s great to travel and has been in trailers and horsebox with no issues.

Bonnie is forward thinking and a forward ride as has been trained that way. She loves dressage and has got 3 nice paces. She recently got a score of 69% in her first prelim and will happily pop a jump.

Bonnie would happily plod out hacking or make a smart competitive ride. She would happily take a novice rider as long as they can give a little pat and tell her she’s fine if she’s in new or unnerving situation rather than a rider that would tense and panic. Great to clip, great for farrier and vet. No vices.

Can include tack at additional cost

This stunning rising 5y.o mare has been slowly and carefully produced. 

She hacks out alone or in company and is fantastic in the heaviest of traffic. She is a forward going, responsive ride, not your typical cob and certainly not a kick along! 

She has three balanced paces. Has been to several clinics and arena hires and is proving to be the most fabulous jumping pony with scope to burn. 

She has not been rushed and is currently happily jumping 50/60cm. 

She is a pleasure to handle, will stand and be brushed all day, happy to be turned out alone or in company. Super feet and is currently bare foot. 

She is ridden by a lightweight adult, 11y.o and also has recently started teaching my 2y.o the ropes on the leadrein and has been absolutely saintly. 

She is a sort hard to find as so genuine and honest with the potential to suit the whole family.

Will no doubt make the perfect pony club all-rounder. Mother/ daughter share.

Kind and knowledgeable loving home is a must!

Jack is a super kind full Irish Draught Gelding. He stands at 15’3 and is a rising 6yo. His sire, Fintan Himself, needs no introduction. Jack has been professionally backed and is slowly being produced. He is starting to work in an outline in the arena and has started to jump under saddle, showing a willing attitude in his work and a scopey brave jump with a good technique.

He hacks alone and in company and has been great in all traffic he has seen here, from tractors, lorry’s, cars, cyclists and bin Lorry’s. He is fab in open spaces and happily canters across the farm in huge open fields. Jack has the most fantastic temperament and it’s like he’s always got a smile on his face, he’s genuine and honest.

He’d definitely be someone’s best friend! He’s lovely to deal with in and out the stable, great to catch box shoe etc.

Jack is green! He would be suited to a riding club type of home, someone who wants to finish producing a sweet horse and put their own stamp on and school their own horse up to how they want. Jack has all the basics, just needs someone with time and patience to produce him further. He’s uncomplicated and a straight forward chap that’s had a good start.

On sales livery and has been owned by his owner for 4 years. So a sad sale.

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase outstanding Maxi Cob, who is a true gentleman and would turn his hoof to anything. It’s an extremely sad and genuine sale due to owners previous health issues.

Murphy is out and out the yard favourite, he is a saint to do on the ground and ridden, he’s a complete pleasure to have on the yard.

Murphy has been in the same home since a 4 year old, where he has been his owners best friend. They go on long distance hacks, pleasure rides, pole work clinics, lessons, and just general fun. Him and his owner would always go to places on their own, he’s a gem to handle and get ready.

Bought from Ireland as a 4yo to make 15.2, Murphy just didn’t stop growing and had just become too big for my client to tack up due to her own health issues.

We can’t fault this lovely horse, he has no vices, hacks out in the heaviest alone and in company, always snaffle mouthed, never been sick or sorry and is everyone’s best friend.

We have excellent viewing facilities in Worcester just 15 mins off the motorway.

Approx 15.2/15.3hh 4yo Irish cob gelding.

Super easy and genuine sort. Not your average ploddy cob.

Coming along in the arena, but understandably for his age, still very green.

Fabulous to hack both alone and in company. Unfazed by traffic. Happily hacks up the side on the dual carriageway.

Since he has been with us, we have had him to the beach and to clinics away from home, without any issues.

Great to clip. Currently barefoot and up to date with everything.

He has still plenty of growing and filling to do and I think he will make a great maxi once filled out.

Only negatives:

He has a very small wart/sarcoid on his sheath.
He can be a bit grumpy over his feed bucket. Typical greedy cob.

No complete novices due to his age and education.

Open to vet/xrays etc

Stardust is such a lovely pony, never nasty, will lick you all day long.

10 years old by Kylebeck Crespo. He is a lovely chestnut / slightly roan in places with striking markings and his well known white feather display on his o/s flank.

Very well shown in hand and sired many foals before being cut for his ridden career. We have had him for just over 2 years and really don't want to sell him but my daughter has changed jobs and the hours and days have made it impossible to ride and show any ponies. This is so sad as he is at his best now.

You can take him into the buziest rings and he never get hot or edgy, pouring rain, heavy mud.

Never strong, ridden on light contact, Big softy , easy to do , totally home produced , perfect confirmation, has a glass like coat in the summer and very little in winter.

Lives in and out happily, good with others, farrier, travel.

Can be found easily on the internet.

1st Devon County 2024

2nd in couple of RI qualifiers

Should easily go out pick up his tickets this year

Stardust is so loved he will not be sold to anyone, he deserves the best of homes. He is priced to sell not put up for a silly figure. His Black country saddle available at extra cost.

Location Somerset, 3 miles from junction 23 of M5

Barefoot

Passported and microchipped

He is a true leg at each corner! He is great fun and very much enjoys having a job. He is very low mileage and green for his age as he was a pet and companion before coming to me.

He has been professionally broken and ridden away by myself and is now ready to find his forever home. Please note: I am the rider in the photos and I am 5ft10

He has been started slowly and correctly and is a very honest and genuine horse to work with, he is great fun and I think he would very much enjoy getting out and seeing the world. He is green for his age so I am looking for an experienced home to continue his education, so no novices please.

He happily lives in or out, is very well mannered and good to do.

He is working well in walk, trot and canter and over poles. He will happily pop a jump and has plenty of scope. He will make a fantastic allrounder, someone is definitely going to be very lucky to call him their new best friend! And he will be sorely missed.

He hacks alone on our gallops but has not hacked in traffic due to our location, the roads are just too dangerous to ride on. However he has seen a wide variety of large vehicles while he has been with us as we have had a lot of construction done on the yard. So he has seen all types of farm machinery and tractors, diggers, dumper trucks, rollers, cement mixer Lorrie’s, all sizes of wagons, wagons tipping loads. So providing he was introduced to traffic sensibly as you would any young/green horse, then I can’t see him being a bother.

Forever homes only please, no novices, no loans, no payment plans.

Serious enquiries only please.

I will not sell him unseen so please don’t ask. Homes will be vetted.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

Messages preferred please as I am very busy right now, if I feel you potentially might be the right match/home for him calls can be scheduled

DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

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.

Smart coloured cob gelding. Ideal weight carrier, who has been ridden by novice and experienced riders.

Hacks well in company and proved good in traffic.

Purchased for our riding centre last year to escort hacks do some lessons. Sadly he isn’t a solid lead horse as he’s not good enough in front to take customers out.

He ended up with the winter off as we were so busy but he is now back in work and being schooled and hacked by staff to improve his flat work. He has done lessons with more experienced riders and was schooled by staff on the flat regularly last year. He did hack alone with an experienced rider but he isn’t easy in his own. He is coming along nicely on the flat and with continued schooling he would do a dressage test/ riding club activities/fun rides.

He is not a first horse as he can be a bit rude on the ground hence he is a bit of a project as he stands. He will follow out hacking with a more novice rider (this is what he did mostly previous to us). May suit horsey home with more novice partner who wants to ride as well.

He is 16hh on a stick but looks & rides bigger. He will need to travel in a lorry not a trailer.

He is a lovely boy who needs more consistency and a one to one home to bring out the best in him with someone who really adores him, sad sale as we love him but he will thrive in private home. Sometimes he forgets he is so big and barges but this has improved a lot!

He is priced to sell for his type as an ongoing project.

Dougle is by Rocky McGuire out of ID mare.

He has hunted, been xc, showjump schooling, hacks alone and in company. Great in traffic.
Easy to catch, load, farrier, dentist, travel, turned out in group or alone. No vices, no health issues.

He is not for a novice just because of his age he is a little green in places but nothing nasty.

He’s just a big horse still growing and we haven’t pushed him. He’s a serious BFG not a bad word to say about him.

Based East Sussex. Open to viewings and vettings.
Rocky McGuire
