Prince, a rising five-year-old purebred Connemara gelding who is turning heads wherever he goes. Standing at 15hh and still growing, this striking young gelding truly embodies the quality and character that the Connemara breed is so well known for. With his beautiful conformation, kind eye, and gentle temperament, Prince is not only a joy to look at but also a pleasure to have around the yard.

Prince is exceptionally well bred, by Cornfield Prince out of a mare by Johns Pride, with Matchmakers Lad further back in his pedigree. His breeding shines through in both his ability and temperament. From day one, he has shown himself to be incredibly versatile, smart, and eager to please. Whatever you ask of him, he gives it his all with a willing and honest attitude.

Under saddle, Prince is a delight. He is straightforward, kind, and easy to ride, making him ideal for a variety of riders. He moves beautifully with three balanced, expressive paces and a naturally uphill way of going. Over fences, he is brave and careful, having already jumped confidently up to 1m at home. He loves his jumping and equally enjoys cross country, taking every fence and question in his stride without hesitation or fuss. Whether it’s show jumping, eventing, or just fun days out, Prince approaches everything with enthusiasm and a calm, level head.

His temperament and talent mean he can truly turn his hoof to anything — from hacking and fun rides to dressage and jumping.

In the yard, Prince is a gentleman. He is easy to shoe, box, catch, and handle in every way. He hacks out both alone and in company and is excellent in traffic. He has no stable vices and is a lovely companion to other horses. Prince has a bright future ahead of him and is ready now to find a loving home where he can continue to shine.

He is open to any vetting, and for extra peace of mind, transport to your yard anywhere in the UK is included, with an exchange offered if you’re not completely happy. Horses of this quality and temperament are hard to find — Prince is a real all-round superstar with the looks, breeding, and attitude to go far in any discipline.

We are looking for a kind sensible horse for my 15 yr old daughter, who has ridden since she was 8yrs to do unaffiliated events; hunter trials, PC activities, XC, SJ & D clinics, fun rides and Cotswold Cup at 80cm 2026 season with a view to progressing to 90cm in 2027. Hunting would be a bonus but not a deal breaker.

She is 5ft 8 and still growing, ideally around 16hh that she can handle on the ground safely and has a kind temperament as she is looking for her next best friend. No TB, Cobs, full ID or Arabs.

Ideally we would like a horse that has a few years experience of low level eventing under it's belt. However we are happy to look at a greener horse provided it has had a good amount of schooling, been out to some XC and SJ events.
Video attached of her riding level, considering the pony is 21yrs, 15.2hh and a very steady ride. We are looking for a more forward ride to jump bigger tracks at an unaffiliated level to go out, have fun and build a relationship with her new best friend.

We would prefer a gelding but will consider mares if they have a nice temperament!
(Her favourite is steel or dapple grey but obviously not picky on colour)
Must be good with tractors and traffic.
Must hack alone.
Must travel in a trailer.
Good to shoe, clip, catch etc
Budget: high 4's low 5's

We are an experienced private home, based near Marlborough, Wiltshire, with our own set up and shetlands for company.

QUALITY IRISH DRAUGHT FILLY BY CROSSTOWN DANCER

  • 3 years

  • Extremely Well Bred

  • Lovely Temperament
Pure Bred Irish Draught Filly. One of the last foals if not thee last foal By the legendary Irish Draught Stallion Crosstown Dancer 16.3hh . Dam is a pure bred RID mare by Golden Trump 16.2hh. Eligible for inspection and I owned her full sister who was an exceptional class 1 Bronze merit mare.

I have owned DJ from being a foal and I bought her directly from her breeder in Ireland before she was even born as I love this line. DJ is a complete blank canvas whilst still having the advantage of basic handling, good with rugs, she is good to bath, feet trimmed regularly, she is up to date with worming and her teeth. Very kind affectionate girl who loves a good scratch and being groomed and pampered.

Dj is beautifully put together, she is a very straight ground covering filly, she is correct in all ways and has a good wide chest space! Measures 15.3hh on the stick.

Dj has a tiny blemish on her offside hind fetlock due to a superficial injury she sustained as a foal, it is fully healed as a tiny lump which is hardly noticeable and she could still show at county level, I’d just rather mention it. DJ also has a tiny lump on her lower jaw bone from a recent minor injury, looks just like a small teething bump, it has been x rayed, and it is purely cosmetic, it’s almost gone now and continues to shrink weekly, even though I have mentioned these two blemishes, they are hardly visable and this mare could still stand in a county line up and win easily!

Dj is ready to start backing and some work, she will be a fantastic versatile horse for someone to go on and make great memories with. If she is anything like her full sister once broken she will be someones horse of a lifetime!

DJ is not good to load, when I have secured a deposit on her I will get Patrick Gracey out to her to hopefully solve this issue and make sure she will load for her new owner.

Please serious enquiries only, experienced people only!

Open to vet, deposit secures!

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.

  • Lovely mannerly horse to have around
£9,950

  • Bay

  • Flashy, classy but very easy
  • Talented and tidy over a fence
  • Lovely mannerly horse to have around

Striking 2020 Irish bay gelding standing at 17hh, lines including Sligo Candy Boy, this beautiful, big, athletic chap will be a super horse for someone.

He has a gorgeous big step, nice presence about him but a very nicely done, quiet ride. Ralph has three elastic paces on the flat, he rides big and gives you a great feeling, super comfortable and easy to ride, snaffle mouthed, not sharp, he will ride off your leg or voice, not sensitive or a worrier, just a nice relaxed, easy horse.

Ralph has plenty of scope, he isn’t remotely bothered by coloured fillers / rustic fences and will jump off any stride.

A nice, well started, uncomplicated and easy horse. He’s lightly hunted, done training shows SJ and XC schooled. Despite his age, he’s a gentleman to hack out alone and with friends, will pass all heavy and fast vehicles and doesn’t change in an open space, he’s Mr cool and anyone’s ride.

A lovely horse in the yard, laid back and easy. Open to any vet or trainer
