Very sweet natured in the stable, easy to tack up and snaffle mouthed.

A really nice and well mannered cob to have around.

• Lovely flatwork and easy to ride
• Easy going type to have around

Good Allrounder with lovely flatwork

Hacks well alone or with others and good in traffic

Hunted and done unaff SJ DR - Sensible

Lovely chunky stamp with an excellent confirmation and a lovely kind temperament. Three good paces and a workmanlike attitude who just gets on with his job. A nice person to have on the yard and to take to shows/events/hunting

On the flat he is easy, snaffle mouth and works in a lovely outline very easily. Has good flatwork, balanced and easy to ride, good transitions and comfortable to ride. Could do a prelim/novice nicely now for high 60s/low 70 % and will jump a course of 80cm happily and isn’t strong fizzy or sharp to jump.

We have hunted him and he behaved well, he stood happily and jumped everything asked.

A good all round horse ideal if you are looking for a low level RC and all rounder with a good temperament. No vices health issues or quirky behaviour. Just a nice horse ready to enjoy

• Warmblood

• Mare
• 11 years
• 15.3 hands

• Has done BS to newcomers
• Ideal for lady or teen for jumping/all round fun
• Non mareish and easy to do

Lovely and compact mare, with a good confirmation. Excellent mover, straight with a good hind leg and big engine making her a cracking jumper. Hacks alone and in company, and she is good in traffic.

To ride she is soft in the hand, easy off the leg and very balanced with good transitions she would happily go and do an elementary test as she is. Her forte is jumping and she is extremely bold over showjumps and XC fences. She has a BS record and has jumped up to newcomers.

She’s very scopey type and a keen jumper, however has brakes and easy to manage around a course and in open spaces.

She is a smart little mare would suit a teen for PC/SJ or a ladies jumper/RC. Not for a novice rider as she is a competition type. No vices, hang ups or health issues. Open to the vet and part exchange is available.

• Will make a fantastic all rounder!

14.3hh traditional cob gelding

11 years old

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, worming, physio and farrier

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

Something to turn heads 

Owned since a foal so full history known. Up to date with everything, no expense has been spared.

A great nature, Alfie has done a little bit of everything over the past few months, He has a super technique over a fence and is careful. He has seen showjumps and been XC schooling.

Good basic flatwork, going in an outline in all three paces and is ready to learn more.

He has hacked alone and in company and goes up the gallops on his own & great in open spaces, used to cows/sheep etc!

Snaffle mouthed for everything. Good to box, shoe etc.

He is now ready to go on and do a further, proper job. He is safe and likes to please but please note he is still only a 4yo! With a few more miles on the clock, he will make a super all rounder/best friend for somebody.

Meet ‘Indiana Jones’ aka ‘Jake’ - 16.2hh, 11yo, beautiful sports horse gelding.
Jake has clean limbs and no vices

Jake is a super mannerly type in and out of the stable. Real easy character to have around who’s good to do everything with. Stands for farrier , good to turn out / bring in etc , good to clip, bath , groom / tack up etc etc - handled and looked after daily by a 13 year old.

Jake is lovely to ride in the school. The type the kids can kick around on the buckle or the type a more competent rider can get on and get a beautiful piece of work out of him. Has done several dressage tests , clinics etc in previous home so is well schooled up and down the transitions , makes a beautiful shape and easy to ride. Always in a snaffle , leg in each corner type

Jake hasn’t really done any jumping so is very green in this sphere although with his willing nature , I’m sure this is something they can be quickly added to his resume

Loves to the hack out. He’s happy to go alone or in company. A very easy type who’s unphased by traffic and very reliable and easy. Stands perfectly to mount , sane in open spaces and again, always in a snaffle.

As well as many dressage tests , Jake also has many miles of hacking and fun rides to add to his CV

He’s a very sweet natured chap with an athletic model , making him very classy and appealing. Most definitely the current yard favourite with my yard girls!

Jake has had a previous KS operation a couple of years ago, which he recovered from in a textbook manner with no further issues / complications / delays etc - this isn’t something that would put me off , at least you know he hasn’t got KS! No other health issues or ailments and open to any vetting.

• 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.
