  • Nice allrounder who has done some jumping, xc and pony club at low level
  • Lovely quiet temperament
Blackie is the ultimate leisure/pleasure all-rounder with a golden temperament. He is offered for sale on behalf of his owner who’s circumstances have sadly changed leaving no time for him. He is a 15h 5 year old (going on 10!) black Irish cob gelding. He is a real stunning quality stamp who catches the eye where ever he goes. He is gorgeous inside and outside to match and will make someone a horse of a life time for sure. He has good conformation, clean limbs and straight movement. He is such a desirable type as he is a great size for everyone to ride from children to teenagers and adults alike; he would be perfect for a mother/daughter share or family horse for everyone to enjoy. He really excels as a pleasure horse to take on sponsored rides, happy hacks, horse holidays, beach rides, and to do low level riding club on. And best of all he is super safe and very genuine and honest with a quiet gentle temperament.

Blackie is super to hack, he has done more hacking in company due to his owner’s preference but he does also go alone. He has done lots of hacking in groups and trekking through the country side on an easy rein. He is very sensible in open spaces and will happily canter at the back of the group without getting strong or competitive. You can drop you reins on him in canter and he won’t run away, in fact quite the opposite. He is great with traffic and hacks straight out onto a busy through road where traffic goes flying past him. He is super with arctic Lorries and tractors passing him too. He is a lovely medium to ride when out hacking which makes him a real pleasure to ride. He has been on lots of pleasure rides which he really does excel at, he gives other horses confidence as he is such a calm influence. He is so much fun on pleasure rides and always makes you smile and have a good ride. He has been on beach rides where he is always fantastically behaved and loves the water. He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays and enjoy hours of exploring together as he is super comfy too and relaxed in new places. He has also hunted in Ireland with a 13 year old girl where he proved safe and steady so would also suit a hunting home. He would also excel in a trekking centre.

Blackie has good basic schooling established with lovely natural paces. His paces are very smooth and comfortable. He is a steady ride in the school and does need some leg from his rider to keep him going. This makes his rider feel very safe and confident. He has been ridden by novices as well as more competent riders and adapts well. He has also been ridden by children and really looked after them. He is snaffle mouthed for everything with a lovely light mouth. He is very forgiving and doesn't mind if his rider loses balance or misses a beat, he will just slow down and let you catch your balance. He is a basic walk, trot and canter in the school, can sometimes get the wrong canter lead on one rein as he is more used to cantering in straight lines on a hack. He has also just learnt walk to canter which he does very well so he is very willing and trainable. He is alos starting to work in a nice outline. He could easily school up and do some dressage as his paces are good and he has a lovely rhythm. He would suit a wide range of riders from competent novices through to more experienced riders that just want a straight forward easy going ride that they can pick up and put down as he doesn’t require daily riding to keep sane.

Blackie enjoys his jumping. He is very honest and genuine to jump, he looks after his rider and will happily just trot in or equally come in canter. He doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. He is a very much point and aim type who helps his rider out. He isn’t a world beater but enjoys to have a go and has jumped around 80cm. He jumps fillers and water trays. He has been to some local training shows and unaffiliated comps in Ireland as well as pony club. He has also been xc schooling several times where he was such a good boy.. Hes very confident and jumps everything first attempt including ditches and water. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently but remains steady and very safe and sensible. He would excel at hunter trails as well as being suitable for all low level pony club and riding club activities.

Blackie has a superb quiet temperament. He really is such a nice sweet person who wants to be everyone’s friend and wouldn’t hurt a fly. He is easy to handle and is very polite with manners to burn. He loves to be groomed and pampered. He is such a kind loving boy who is very gentle and calm. He is very good to catch, bath, shoe, load, catch ect. He will live alone or in company and in or out, he just goes with the flow and is bottom of the pecking order. He would make a wonderful addition to a family.

He would make the perfect leisure/pleasure horse for hours of hacking and fun rides with some bits of riding club thrown in for fun. It is really important to his owner that Blackie finds a 10* home where he will be loved and enjoyed.

Passed a 5 stage vetting 2 months ago that can come with him and is open to re vetting. Videos available on request. Based in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. £11,250.

Sun Dance – A Golden Gentleman with Talent to Match His Looks

It’s not every day a horse like Sun Dance comes on the market. This exceptional 6 year old palomino gelding stands just a fraction under 15.2hh and is truly one in a million. With his striking golden coat, elegant head and neck, and superb conformation, Sun Dance is nothing short of breathtaking. He carries the presence and charisma of a champion, effortlessly turning heads wherever he goes—whether he’s in the show ring, on a hack, or simply standing in the yard.

Sun Dance is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. He has a wonderfully kind and easygoing temperament, making him a pleasure to handle and a joy to ride. Soft in the mouth and light to the aids, he works beautifully in an outline and is comfortably ridden in a snaffle. He has three outstanding, balanced, and rhythmical paces that will make him a judge’s favourite. His movement is fluid, expressive, and correct, giving him real potential to climb the dressage ranks. He has the natural cadence, colour, and ring presence that will make him stand out in any arena.

In addition to his dressage talent, Sun Dance has an exceptional jump. He’s scopey, careful, and has a lovely bascule, making him a genuine candidate for eventing, show jumping, working hunter  or even the American hunter/jumper circuit. He is brave, honest, and always willing to try his best, giving his rider the confidence to tackle any course. His straightforward, dependable nature makes him suitable for a wide variety of riders, from ambitious juniors and amateurs moving off ponies, to those seeking a classy all-rounder or even a top-quality mother-daughter share.

Sun Dance is equally at home out of the ring. He hacks alone or in company, and is unphased by traffic, new places, and other horses. He is good to catch, box, shoe, and clip, and settles well in both busy yards and quieter environments. He has no stable vices and is open to any vetting.

This is the sort of horse that only comes along once. Sun Dance isn’t just another pretty face—he’s a steady, talented, and loving partner with a heart of gold and the ability to go far in the right hands. Whether you’re looking for a competitive dressage prospect, an honest jumper, or a stunning all-rounder, Sun Dance is ready to exceed expectations.

Price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK. We are so confident you’ll love him that we offer an exchange if you’re not 100% happy.

Ivan
16.2HH (approx) 6 year old Irish Draught gelding by the Grade A SJ stallion Moylough Vision.

Ivan was a just backed 3 year old when I bought him, but he has grown far too big for me, hence this will be a very sad sale of a much loved boy and will only be sold to the rugby home.

I have brought him on slowly and carefully giving him time to mature. He hacks alone and in company. Is schooled regularly and is straight and correct. He has been out regularly attending UA SJ, dressage, arena eventing, combined training and cross country schooling. He has also been autumn trail hunting.

I am sure he will excel in the hunting field or show ring.

Ivan has been well handled on the ground, and is excellent to shoe, bath, clip and loads easily onto a lorry or trailer.

He is up to date with teeth, vaccinations, back and worming.

Ivan is in daily work, so is fit and ready to go.

He is unsuitable for novice/nervous riders as he can still have green moments.

Open to vetting.

Jerry | 15hh Black Gelding | Smashing Cob with Style and Substance

Meet Jerry, a striking 15hh black cob gelding with serious presence and a brave, forward-going attitude paired with rideability. At just four years old, Jerry already shows the quality, confidence, and character of a much older horse, making him an exciting and versatile prospect for the future.

Jerry is a real head-turner with a strong, compact build, excellent conformation, and that classic cob charm. He is forward-going in the best way—keen, responsive, and full of energy—yet he remains sensible, safe, and good to ride, making him both enjoyable and reliable under saddle. He thrives on work and loves to be ridden, giving his best each time and always eager to please.

He is easy to catch, box, shoe, and he takes new experiences in stride. Out hacking, Jerry is confident and happy both alone and in company. He is good in traffic and unbothered by noise or movement, making him a dependable ride whether on the roads or exploring open countryside.

Jerry has a lovely step and natural movement that, combined with his brave attitude and eye-catching presence, give him real potential for the show ring. He would also be well-suited to riding club activities or simply as a fun and capable all-rounder for someone who enjoys an active, forward-going ride. While he has plenty of presence and energy, he is still genuine, kind, and easy enough for a competent amateur or confident novice to enjoy.

This smashing cob is full of promise and ready to continue his education with someone who will appreciate his enthusiasm and ability. He has no stable vices, is open to any vetting, and comes with the added peace of mind that delivery to your yard in the UK is included in the price.

A very smart ID x mare - lovely old fashioned type.

Lovely steady mare to ride and is never hot-headed or strong, she is great out hacking and she is unfazed by even the heaviest of traffic and will pass heavy lorries and farm machinery without a blink!

A nice mare with a kind temperament that is easy both in and out of the stable, she is good to load, and great to shoe, easy to catch and lead and happily ties up anywhere on the yard.

An exceptionally straightforward young horse with masses of potential. She has been backed correctly and will make a top class allrounder/eventer/showjumper.

She is snaffle mouthed with the most fantastic attitude, there isn't a bad bone in her. She has recently started jumping and shows a good technique over a fence. Has been XC schooling and took everything in her stride. She has fantastic movement so would make an equally smart dressage prospect!

She hacks alone or in company and has been good with all traffic she's seen. Used to farm machinery. Happily stands to get on and off to do gates etc.

Incredibly easy at home, not at all mareish and turns out on her own or with others. Loads and travels well on her own or with others, in a trailer or lorry.

She is bred to jump, with lines such as Heartbreaker, Voltaire and Darco.

A very smart blank canvas for someone to continue producing and put their own stamp on. No novices please due to her age.

Full of potential and ready to go on and do a job. Nugget has begun his competition experience with us finishing well in a few training events. He’s had a few outings between the white boards at Prelim, bringing home 2 red rosettes on his last outing. He is proving to be very versatile, turning his hoof to all asked of him.

He hasn’t been over produced and definitely has a bright future ahead of him. Nugget is still learning and we hope to find him a knowledgeable home where he can continue his education.

Nugget is sadly offered for sale as his rider is busy at university and with such a lack of time his talents and affection are being wasted and he’s just too good to be sat round doing not a lot!!!

DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

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.

  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Bright bay
  • Mare
  • 6 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Brilliant temperament
  • Loves to jump
  • Very brave and bold to jump
6 year old mare by Vivant du Heffnick out of a cavalier royale dam.

A proper mare in ever way, tries so hard to please you and always wants to do the right thing.

She has jumped many UA shows at 105 and has had many placings. She is forward to a fence and loves to jump, never spooky or silly.

Will happily go to a show and stand on the lorry her self and equity will travel with others. Doesn’t get spooky or silly in the warm up. She is forward and bold to a fence, the type of ride to take you.

She has been XC schooling and LOVES IT!! Always been so straight forward, looks for the flags and really enjoys her self.

Hacking she has been the only horse I have felt comfortable allowed my novice mother to ride around the common on with loose ponies and cattle surrounding her. She will settle and canter happily infront or behind other horses, equally you can move her on she will lead the way. Ridden in a snaffle and never took advantage of her in any way. Has also been ridden by an older friend and again looked after her, opening and shutting gates behind other riders. Miss reliable.

She has been on many beach rides/ fun rides and over all has been a horse enjoyed by an amateur lady mainly Showjumping and having all round fun on.

She has hunted in Ireland but since being in the UK She has only been on hound exercise. I think she would make a brilliant hunter over here due to her being a very independent mare with good manners and will jump anything you ask of her. I’ve personally jumped walls, ditches and hedges on her and never missed a beat. Will trot to a rail off the road side and pop over.

She is what I call a proper mare, not shown to be sassy and backward. Always happy and enjoying her work whether that’s out hacking with my mother or jumping with us.

The flat work is her weakness due to doing minimal of it in previous home.

She loves her grub, currently mainly turned out in a herd of mares and in during the day.

She will pull the odd face at you while she’s eating but only when it taste super yummy!

Clean limbed and no vices

Picasso is a striking 15.2hh 6yr reg Leopard Spot Appaloosa gelding.

What an eye catching chap he is. Really kind person to handle and do.

He has 3 lovely paces and would be outstanding in the show ring.

We have schooled him XC and SJ. He has an impressive jump.

Just started competing SJ and giving everything a go.

He hacks alone and in company and is good in open spaces.

He is green schooling/ not yet consistent in the contact but obviously he is only young so will need bringing along. Starting hold himself in a frame.

He has been foot perfect here a real pleasure to train and work with. He hadn’t actually been ridden a lot in that period even though backed at 4years old. Has glowing references from when he was broken in.

He is up to date with teeth (recently had wolf teeth removed), physio, vaccinated.

He has come to us and then we found out he had a colourful past. Therefore, he won’t be sold to a novice rider or child. Happy to discuss with serious people.

A horse that could do any discipline 

16'1hh approx, 7 year old bay mare.

Finished racing sound in December, has won on the flat. 

I had Luna straight from training and is by far the most straightforward horse I've ever had out of racing.

She is smart enough on the flat to do dressage or showing. ROR eligible.

She has been to unaffiliated dressage where she was a star every time and has won and been placed prelim level scoring 69% with more still to come.

Her schooling improves every time, and she is so willing to learn.

She's safe out hacking on her own or in company, will go first or last, perfect in traffic, doesn't get buzzy in open spaces.

She has been on forest rides and pub rides where she was always golden.

She is showing good promise in her jumping, has popped round a course of show jumps she has jumped logs in the woods.

Has been to pole and jump clinics where she has always been perfectly well behaved and really shows willingness and improves every time.

She is ready to crack in and have fun in any discipline.

I think she will do any job her new owner wants, if I had more money I wouldn't be selling her I think so much of her.

She would suit a teenager coming off ponies, a mother/ child share, someone wanting to be competitive, or someone wanting to just hack and have cuddles!

She is fab to clip, shoe, catch, load (lorry and trailer) and groom.
Open to vetting
