Straight forward to ride on the flat and makes a nice shape over a fence. He is not going to make an upper level horse but is a beautiful horse for someone wanted to have a fun competitive time doing lower levels.

  • Stunning Connemara gelding with beautiful paces and a temperament to die for
Beautiful 15.3hh Connemara gelding, who oozes quality and presence. We have made the heartbreaking decision to sell my daughters horse of a lifetime. He took her to the RDA National Championships in July 2025 where together they stole the show, coming home with many red rosettes and a huge fan base. The live commentaries from Lauren O'Hagen and Spencer Sturmey speak for themselves.

At home he is an absolute pleasure in every way, my disabled daughter deals with every aspect of his daily care.

With him, my daughter has been to numerous dressage and showing competitions, horsemanship clinics, hacked for miles on end in busy traffic or open fields, some jumping and basically played around with him like any teenager would want to do with their horse.

For sale through no fault of his own, as my daughter is a Para rider her needs are very specific and sadly he is just not quite there.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, worming etc. Full history known.

Hundreds of videos/photos upon request. Please no time wasters as this is heartbreaking, he is one of the family.

One in a Million Connemara, knows his job and loves his job! A real part of the family pony whose loved by everyone!

I’ve had the pleasure of owning Duke for 6 years and in that time he has taken me from jumping 90cm to 1m15 and 1m30 at home. Everyone who knows Duke knows how unbelievably special he is.

Duke does everything and anything from hunting to show jumping he has done it all! He has a record competing at 1m10/1m15, BS and unaffiliated. He absolutely loves his jumping, he is strong, quick and competitive . He would be the perfect 90cm/1m jumper for a young child/teenager to have some fun on. He would be great at teaching a young competitive child the ropes!

He really is part of the family and on the ground he can be handled by a toddler! Idea mother/daughter share as he loves beach rides, fun rides and long hacks. He is an absolute cross country machine and will jump everything and anything put in front of him. He is the bravest horse I’ve ever met with an absolute heart of gold. All good to clip, shoe, load etc, the usual.

This is the hardest thing I will ever have to do and homes will be vetted. I am of course open to any and every question regarding Duke as his new home is the most important thing to me.

He’s wasted potential at the moment and needs to be out having fun! I have loads more photos and videos on request.

Full Irish Draught Standing at approx 16.2 hh, 5 years. Breeding - by Devils Punchbowl (Crannagh Hero) out of a Westmeathe Lad Dam.

Red has been professionally backed and bought on slowly, trained using natural horsemanship methods. Time and care has been taken to give him the best possible start in his ridden life.

Red now needs a kind experienced person to take him out and see the world - not a nervous nelly like me! He is being sold from the field so please don’t expect to come and try riding him. His new person Must have experience with large, green horses.

- Groundwork: Red has done lots of natural horsemanship groundwork, flag training and been walked out in hand both alone and in company. He has started some in hand lateral work. He has been introduced to traffic.

- Ridden: Red can walk, trot and canter in the arena and is calm doing this also in an open grass field. He has done plenty of pole work including some raised poles. He has started some lateral work under saddle.

- Isn’t the type that needs riding every day. You can very much pick up and put him down. He is snaffle mouthed at all times. He is so easy to tack up it is like tacking up grandmas horse!

- Lives in or out. Hardy Irish type and goes out happily in all weathers.

- Barefoot, good Irish feet. Up to date with vaccinations and dentist. No health issues. Had two minor sarcoids removed 18 months ago and no return.

- Contact me for extensive video and a chat. May consider LWVTB for the right person.

Donald (Kilconieron Donal)
Irish Hunter Type 16.1hh Gelding
15 years young (born 2010)
Hunter / Happy Hacker / General All Rounder

Low mileage horse whose full history is known since coming across from Ireland as a 6 year old. I have owned him for 6 years (and his previous 2 owners were friends of mine).

For the past 10 years he has regularly hunted (but not every week), done pleasure rides, beach rides and general hacking. About 8 years ago he did low level dressage but hasn’t done any dressage or schooling since.

Donald has a big jump but at my age I no longer jump, so photos are with younger riders! He has hunted with the Braes of Derwent, South Durham, Haydon and West Percy and has been ridden by riders ranging from 14 years to 69 years. The only reason I am selling him is that I am now in my mid-sixties and just find him too big and the rest of the family have given up riding.

Donald is good to do in all ways, never bucks, rears or naps and will easily go off in a different direction to the rest of the field but once cantering in a group he likes to keep up (but never overtakes) but I do find him strong (but I am small and old, younger riders don’t seem to find any problem at all). He is very honest and willing, goes where pointed and never refuses.

He has a lovely nature, is excellent to box, shoe and clip (only needs a twitch for his head), rides out alone or in company and will lead off another horse to exercise. He will happily live in or out and can be left for days or weeks and will be exactly the same when you get back on – calm, willing and a pleasure to ride.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth etc

Open to any vet (3 years ago X rays did show some kissing spines but the underlying problem actually turned out to be a bad fitting saddle, he has had no medication etc and rides/hunts as normal with his new saddle which I get checked twice a year).

A 5* knowledgeable home is wanted for this much loved family horse (sorry no dealers)

Would be prepared to accept £3550 for the right home. Tel: 07817005344 (Based in Northumberland)

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.

  • Excellent proven broodmare - Produced an incredible Connemara x TB by Josie Jump in 2024
For sale or loan from a private genuinely loving home, a pretty and sweet natured 15.2-15.3hh 16 y.o very well bred Weatherby's National Hunt ex racehorse Thoroughbred mare who has just been a mum for the last 6 years of her life. She has not been ridden / worked in any way for 6 years.

I may consider loaning her if she was kept in West Sussex

Now needs a new experienced home either as a proven broodmare or could potentially be brought back into lighter work with the right person. She did race, just didn't like it so she is ROR eligible.

She apparently did do a bit of show jumping and cross country in-between racing and being a mum before her current home where she has just been a broodmare for the last few years.

A video of her jumping hurdles can be seen in this advert below the description.

She would also make a nice natural horsemanship project or do some fun horse agility with.

She has been an incredible broodmare producing outstanding wonderful natured and strongly built offspring. Has taken first time both naturally and via AI. Foals easily and is a great mum, just knows her job well.

Produced a truly oustanding Connemara cross TB foal by the very sought after Josie Jump in 2024. Huge potential to produce the same again.

This mare is a very good do-er with NO HEALTH ISSUES and good barefoot kept hooves (professionally equine podiatrist trimmed). Upto date with vaccines, teeth rasping and is on a worming programme with consistantly clear worm tests.

She is used to being with mares and geldings but is scared of being bullied so needs quieter companions.

She is good to handle and transport.

Will only go to a 5 star loving and caring home with proper experience and knowledge of ex racehorse thoroughbreds!

Only still available due to a continuous stream of people lying to me about what they can actually offer for this mare. Please do not enquire about her unless you can genuinely provide the right experienced loving and caring home with proper facilities to keep such a horse. This will be checked.

Scammers will not be tolerated!

Please message me through Horsequest with any questions

Power 16hh Irish sports horse 5yr old

Power is a lovely well put together gelding, he has 3 balanced paces and works in a nice outline, he is active off the leg but not sharp and always tries. He is still green but improves every day, soft mouth and enjoys his work.

Power is bold to a fence, goes on any stride and wants to be careful. He has jumped local unaffiliated shows up to 90 behaving perfectly in warm ups and not phased by any fillers. Goes on any stride and never gets offended. Been produced by amateurs.

Power hacks alone and in company, he is good in traffic and in open spaces, hunted in Ireland and was very sensible, good with hounds, bold to his fences and stood politely

He is easy to do in all ways on ground, lovely kind gelding who will make a cracking all rounder.

He’s still green from lack of time meaning he’s not had attention he deserves but now ready to crack on and for someone to put own stamp on.
