Introducing the beautiful Mr ranger aka Vinny

17.2 - 16yo - AES - Gelding

Ultimate schoolmaster

Where do I start:

Vinny is a true family’s pet in all ways.

In his whirlwind career he’s achieved so much.

From jumping 1.40 to being an amateurs dream horse.

Vinny also had a successful vaulting career where he’s taught adults to children the ropes

Vinny has also turned his hoves into being a dressage diva.

A horse with a big heart and sure to bring much love and fun to another family, anyone’s ride

Hacks well

• Toby is a gentle giant, the perfect gentleman in every way.

On the ground he is as easy as can be. Good to handle, groom, catch, clip, shoe, travel. You name it hes good at it!

He has previously hunted and done low level everything, he would also still do this but would prefer a steadier pace of life now.

Always hacking on the buckle in a snaffle, never strong or silly, alone or in company totally bombproof.

Toby has no lumps or bumps or known health issues.

Had vetting this week, failed lunge on the hard on the right rein, but good eyes heart lungs teeth etc.

• 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.

LADY

Head turning 2016 black Irish mare standing at 17hh.

This wonderful girl is the kindest, most gentle, BFG you can find, she will carry the weightiest of riders, the most novice, nervous, scared, worried riders you can find, and she will just offer total confidence and fun.

Lady is like an armchair to ride, she is so comfortable and has the nicest rocking horse canter, ideal to learn on but equally a fantastic leisure horse for someone. Lady has three lovely paces, always snaffle mouthed and will ride off your voice. She is a leg on ride, super safe and sane and just wants to please. Despite being a big heavy girl lady can jump, she does pick her feet up and makes very light work of it, she’s not in the slightest bothered about ditches, rails, showjumps & fillers of cross country style fences, she doesn’t look at anything! Hacking out is her speciality, if you’re going out solo or in company she will bring you home with a smile on your face, she is so safe, sane and bombproof in traffic, the biggest tractors at speed don’t worry her! You could ride this lovely girl through central London!

Lady is a total confidence giving safe ride, would suit anyone looking for a big safe Allrounder, she has seen hounds in previous years and what a lovely big model for the hunt field.

A very easy horse to have in the yard, unbothered by everything and happy to be groomed and loved for hours. She’s a rare model with a lovely step and the temperament to match, hard found and open to any vet or trainer.

Trial period available.

Striking 2011 Chesnut mare standing at a full up 16hh. This gorgeous girly is the full package, she takes up the leg, has the canter of a rocking horse and it’s loads of fun! She would be an ideal teenagers horses / mother daughter share or someone looking to win riding club activities.

Coco is so confidence giving, especially jumping, she’s so extremely bold, isn’t spooky or looky in the slightest, just a genuine and uncomplicated little horse. Coco has plenty of show jumping experience, she knows her job and will look after her jockey.

On the flat Coco has three balanced, comfortable and established paces, she is extremely comfortable and easy to ride. She’s a sweetheart to hack, alone and in company, looks at nothing and not bothered about anything!

Beautiful 2013 Irish mare standing at a full up 15hh, this beautiful girl has previously worked in a trekking centre so she would most certainly be a happy hackers dream.

Saffy is kind, affectionate, loves human company and will stand to be groomed for hours, she’s a sweet girl, isn’t Marish. Saffy is brilliant to hack out when alone and in company, perfect in the heaviest of traffic, super in open spaces, always in a snaffle and she’s excellent with heavy machinery and farm vehicles, not a spooky or looky type.

Saffy is very forgiving, she’s got three comfortable paces in the school and she enjoys jumping too, she will pop coloured fillers and cross country fences, she’s bold and confidence giving, happy to trot to fences for a nervous rider.

She’s a super safe, fun and easy Allrounder, a hard sort to find, open to any vet or trainer £8250

NICO - Striking 2010 Spanish bay gelding standing at a full up 15.3hh. Nico offers a beautifully schooled, uphill and established ride. Snaffle mouthed, this lad has the movement and the presence to excel in dressage, he has plenty of experience, lateral work is well established and he has the most comfortable, uphill gorgeous canter.

Nico is everything you’d want and need in a dressage prospect. As much as he is a seriously quality horse, he’s also fun, easy and makes you feel instantly like a dressage rider! Not only is Nico well schooled, he also can jump, he has jumped coloured and rustic fences with us, he’s bold and enjoys it and wants to please, hacking wise he is fantastic, super in open spaces, traffic and busy environments, despite being so established on the flat, he really is a super Allrounder.

Nico wasn’t gelding until he was 6, so he does still like the company of a lady, however he’s perfectly manageable and I do have him stabled and turnout next to mares, this is reflected in his price.

A seriously talented horse at a super price, open to any vet or trainer

Super sweet Irish TB mare

15.3H 6yo with a full Irish passport

Was far too slow to be a race horse, enjoys a slower pace to life. has been very well schooled on the flat and competed in some dressage leagues etc.

The most sweet honest mare to ride and do all with. Not mareish at all. Will suit all the members of the family!!

Was in training so suitable for ROR classes.

Hacks out alone or in company and is good in traffic.
