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

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

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.

Olivers Equestrian International Equine Agents


Ref #: 308582
  • A highly personalised service designed to find your next dressage partner...
  • Extensive information packs, press links and testimonials available
  • A highly personalised service designed to find your next dressage partner...
  • Extensive information packs, press links and testimonials available

 Niki and Hermione Tottman of Olivers Equestrian identified an opportunity to launch a completely personalised approach to sourcing elite level horses and ponies across the UK and Europe after personally experiencing the complex process of attaining top quality competition horses from the continent.

The highly personalised service has been developed to offer aspiring riders a package few others in the UK can – a team of two who can cover every aspect of purchasing a high-level competition horse and possess knowledge, experience and credentials to the highest level of equestrian sport: FEI. 

Via the newly launched concept, riders embarking on the journey of finding their new dancing partner will be assisted by Niki and Hermione every step of the way. Designed to provide a service to clients across a range of budgets, the initiative has been curated to deliver detailed trips to Europe for viewings with trusted, specialist contacts, alongside thorough negotiation experience to achieve the best results.

What’s more, the service offers the additional support of having an international youth rider, Hermione, trial and give feedback on all horses shortlisted, along with the advice of an international dressage coach, Niki, to support the rider through each trial. 

The initiative is successfully growing with confirmed sales to The Netherlands, Great Britain, Russia, Denmark, etc.

We are currently open to new clients.

Hermione Tottman, International Dressage Rider, from Olivers Equestrian said:

“We wanted to launch this service following our first-hand experiences of the international dressage circuit. Having been through the complex journey of finding my next dressage partner to help me achieve my competition goals, I now feel passionate about supporting ambitious riders in finding their next top ride.

“I believe our service offers unique insight into the private domain of top level horse sales. The majority of high quality horses and ponies are now being sold privately, and not advertised on the open market. Our clients have the benefit of being able to view these horses through our contacts”. 

Niki Tottman, International Level Coach and BD Youth Assessor and Judge, from Olivers Equestrian said:

“We know that the process of finding and trialing a new, high-quality horse can be a daunting experience! That’s why we wanted to develop a service which is not only hassle-free but also offers expert guidance at every milestone. We can lead you through the sessions, and help you  to develop a feeling of the potential partnership you may have. After discussing the riders aspirations with them, I am able to use my intrinsic eye to help choose the best match for their long-term goals and to spot any potential red flags.

“The support doesn’t end once the horse is safely at its new home. We go the extra mile by designing an individualised training package for each of our clients. This ensures the new combination starts off on the right foot – we want everyone who completes this journey with us to maintain confidence once they are home and ultimately develop their partnership successfully”.
