Mona and Inka are a mother daughter duo who came into the centre in March 2025. They are looking for a home where they can stay together.

Mona is a lovely little Shetland pony with a kind heart and gentle spirit, now looking for a special home to call her own. She has a calm temperament and enjoys the company of both people and other ponies. Mona is well-mannered and would make a wonderful companion pony.

Inka loves attention, enjoys being groomed, and gets along well with other ponies. She’s ideal for a family with experience in caring for ponies or a companion home where she can enjoy a peaceful and loving environment.

Due their type they do require restricted grazing. They are currently out during the day and in overnight on a woodchip area.

Can you offer Mona and Inka a loving home together?

Tango came onto our Home Direct scheme in April 2025, he is being rehomed from his current home based in Ipswich.

Tango is looking for a home as a project pony where he can continue the backing process. Tango has done a lot of groundwork, we believe he will make a lovely ridden pony or even a driving pony! He would also make the most loving companion pony.

Tango can live with both mares and geldings; he can also stay alone for short periods of time.

Can you offer Tango a loving home?

Danny is easy to handle, and loves being groomed, making him a pleasure to spend time with.

Danny has a calm and friendly nature, and he would be best suited to a home with younger ponies, where he can enjoy their company and thrive in a social environment. He’s sure to become a loyal and loving companion for any younger ponies or horses in need of a buddy.

Can you offer Danny a loving new home?

Aria is a sweet young pony who recently came to us via the RSPCA. She’s still settling into her new surroundings and learning to trust, but she’s already showing a lovely nature.

She’s very much a 1-1 pony! She really enjoys gentle scratches and is starting to appreciate a good groom. As she’s still a baby, she’s in the early stages of her training, including getting used to having her feet handled. We're working towards her seeing the farrier soon.

Aria can be a little unsure at times, so she needs a calm and consistent person to help her build confidence. She would thrive living with other young ponies, especially those with good manners who can help her learn the ropes.

She currently lives out 24/7 and has only been stabled for short periods, so an environment that mirrors this setup would suit her best.

Aria has lots of potential and will make a rewarding companion for someone willing to take things at her pace.

• 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.
