Meet Vinnie, a 4-year-old 16.2hh Irish Draught cross gelding with all the quality, temperament, and bone you’d expect from a traditional Irish type. Vinnie is a beautifully put-together bay gelding with a kind, gentle nature and a willing attitude that makes him a joy to handle and ride. He’s the sort of horse that wants to do the right thing and always gives his rider 100%.

Vinnie is well-schooled on the flat, riding in a soft, consistent contact with a light snaffle mouth. He works nicely in all three paces and has a naturally balanced way of going. He’s easy and uncomplicated to ride, with a calm, forgiving temperament that would suit a range of riders—including novices, mother-daughter shares, riding schools, or even trekking centres looking for a safe, steady horse to add to their string.

Vinnie is a true allrounder, he would make a lovely riding club horse. He’s also an extremely honest and genuine jumper. Vinnie has schooled confidently up to 90cm over both coloured poles and cross-country fences. Out on the course, he takes everything in stride—ditches, drains, banks, coffins, water—he jumps it all with a brave and willing heart. He’s the kind of horse that keeps trying, even if the question gets tough, and he never says no. His attitude makes him an ideal candidate for someone looking to hunt this coming season—he’s already hunted twice earlier this year and proved himself to be mannerly, straightforward, and happy to get on with the job.

Vinnie is easy to do in all ways. He’s good to catch, box, shoe, and is safe in traffic. He hacks out happily alone or in company and enjoys being out and about. He has no stable vices, is open to any vetting, and is the kind of horse that’s hard to find—kind, safe, genuine, and with his whole future ahead of him.

Whether you’re looking for a safe partner to enjoy in the school, on the hunting field, or out hacking, Vinnie is ready to go and will settle into any routine with ease. The price includes delivery to your yard in the UK, and we offer an exchange option if you’re not happy.

• He has a kind heart and an eager-to-please attitude that makes him an absolute pleasure to ride.
• He gives his rider a great feel and always tries his best.
• He is brave across country and will jump whatever he’s pointed at with enthusiasm and trust.

Meet Sam, a 4-year-old purebred Connemara gelding who is the true definition of the traditional type—strong, well-built, and a leg in each corner. This lovely young horse has a kind heart and an eager-to-please attitude that makes him an absolute pleasure to work with every day. Sam is a quick learner with a calm, willing nature, making him the ideal partner for riders looking for a safe and straightforward companion.

He is nicely schooled on the flat, with three balanced, correct paces. His canter is particularly noteworthy—uphill, steady, and incredibly comfortable to ride. Sam is not too forward and never behind the leg; he gives his rider a great feel and always tries his best. His temperament is genuine and honest, and he takes everything in his stride without fuss.

Sam absolutely loves his jumping and has been confidently jumping up to 90cm at home, with the scope and attitude to go further. He is brave across country and will jump whatever he’s pointed at with enthusiasm and trust. He has a good technique and a great brain—making him a superb candidate for a competitive or all-round home. Whether you’re looking for a fun mother-daughter share or a solid step up for a child coming off smaller ponies, Sam ticks all the boxes.

Out hacking, he is a dream—happy to go out alone or in company, not spooky, and always up for new adventures. He is easy to shoe, box, catch, ride, and behaves impeccably in traffic. He has no stable vices, is open to any vetting, and comes from good breeding, sired by the well-regarded Slackport Prince x Earl of Newbridge x New Beginnings.

Sam is not just another pony—he’s a rare find. With his temperament, trainability, and traditional Connemara quality, he’ll be a wonderful addition to any home. Price includes delivery to your yard in the UK, and exchange is available if you’re not satisfied.

• 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.
