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.

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.

If you’re looking for a smart, stylish cob with the movement, mindset, and manners to go far, Jerry is one not to miss.

• 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.
