Custard is an eye-catching 5-year-old gelding standing at 15.1hh. Recently imported from Ireland, where he had hunted with the Roscommon Harriers and competed at training shows.

He hacks out both alone and in company. He travels well, loads easily, and is a pleasure to take out and about. He’s also incredibly patient – happy to stand on the lorry for hours without fuss while others are being ridden.

Custard has competed both showjumping and dressage, trained cross country and has attended many arena hires proving to be bold and honest. He jumps hedges, ditches water trays - anything put in front of him!

Custard is easy to manage on the ground and is just as content living in or out, whether in a herd or individually. He’s a real sweetheart and quickly became a favourite on the yard.
He’s always ridden in a snaffle, never strong or silly. He is a balanced, comfortable ride.

We are looking for a home where he can continue to have fun straight away, therefore no novice/nervous riders! Videos of riders will be requested in the hopes of finding him the perfect home.

Stunning Welsh Cob Gelding

Brynmelys Uther Pendragon

12yo 15hh welsh cob gelding. Dragon is a very sweet and loving boy who always aims to please.

Excellent to shoe, box, catch, clip etc. Full history known as I bought him straight from the breeder in 2020

Schools well under saddle and excellent out hacking in company or on his own. Dragon is a very genuine boy in and out of the stable. Has 3 super paces - a really easy way of going.

Would excel in dressage, has done lots of unaffiliated to prelim. Could easily move up/progress further in BD. Dragon has also done fun rides/beach rides and would also make a great hunter as he is very sensible, although this is something we have never done.

Ridden and competed regularly in show jumping by 12yo jockey. Has done lots of arena hires over the years and shows. Has done stay aways for jumping and dressage and unfazed by a busy show atmosphere.

Excellent in open spaces & bomproof in the heaviest of traffic. Very honest and hard to find type - Dragon is a super all round horse, would suit a competent teen or lady. He’s used to a busy and varied life with us, with plenty of hacking and outings with other ponies we have.

Always lived in a big mixed herd, and used to being one of many. Would love for him to be in a home one to one to have the attention he deserves.

15hh 4yr old Connemara mare by well known stallion Celtic Moy Sailor out of a Connemara x sport horse mare.

Clover has been brought on slowly and is proving to be a great all-round pony. She is happy hacking out alone or in company, snaffle mouthed at all times (more woah than go but will step up if asked to) Perfect to catch, farrier, loads first time and travels well - a lovely pony to be around.

Lives in or out depending on my schedule and is not phased either way. She turns out with mares or geldings and is not bossy!

She would suit a confident child as she is nice natured and quiet however not for a complete novice as she is green.

She does have a couple of sarcoids which do not affect her but this is reflected in her price.

This pony will make someone very happy - more pictures and videos available.

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.

  • Really sweet natured and only tries to please, all the time!
Very quickly becoming the yard favourite, this super cute guy is looking for his forever home to turn his foot to anything and shine in next years competition season! What he lacks in experience, he certainly makes up for it with his attitude being incredibly love-able and kind!

A real compact little power house boasting 3 expressive paces and definitely has the ‘watch me’ factor, working very nicely on the flat with straight and correct movements and improving his lateral work all the time. Nicely off the leg without being too ‘forward’ so would be more of a go then woah!

He enjoys his education and always listens for the riders next aids, very trainable brain who will only keep improving. Simple snaffle bridle and never strong, stays the same character out in the open or in the arena and great to hack.

Fantastic to ride cross country, bold brave type and for his first attempt he really excelled attempting every obstacle and flew into the water making him an ideal candidate for the future of eventing! Has also successfully ridden out on ‘hound exercise’ for the Surrey union hunt and was very well mannered, there’s nothing he couldn’t do!

An ideal mix of traditional Irish breeding and blood to make him the perfect modern day sports horse.

He will make a super allrounder/pony club type for someone. Still needs finishing off with his education, but his attitude is faultless and will make a super horse for someone on a budget!

  • Will turn her hoof to anything asked of her!

** For Sale ** - Belle, 10yo beautiful dun, Irish registered Connemara mare.

100% groom, bath, trailer, shoe, clip, travel, teeth, hack, school, with no vices.

Belle is a lovely, easy horse to handle. She is regularly handled alone by one lady owner for everything and is now looking for her next best friend.

She schools beautifully including some basic lateral moves (walk to canter, leg yield etc.) However, she does not enjoy being drilled in the school, and is more woah than go.

She enjoys a varied life including jumping, hacking (far and wide), horse back archery, ground work, in hand classical dressage, beach rides. You name it and she will have a go for you.

She loves jumping but will happily stay in a rhythm and jump a course of 60cm with scope to go to 80/90cm. She has seen fillers without issue.

She has regularly schooled cross country, including the farm ride (water, ditches etc) which she enjoys.

She loves the beach, drag hunting and fun rides, and while she picks it up a gear for group events she is impeccably behaved. Always snaffle mouthed and looks after her rider, normally happy to go first or last and has never bucked or reared.

She will happily live in or out, but has always had daily turnout if stabled.

Belles full history is known, she came over from Ireland as a 2 year old and has been allowed to grow, sympathetically backed and slowly ridden on, with no time or expense spared on her upbringing.

I do not compete regularly, but she has attended local shows and I feel she would happily compete or do pony club sessions. She would also potentially measure in for classes.

She will hack alone or in company, 100% in heavy traffic (trains, wagons, tractors) and has been used as a nanny horse for others.

Belle had a stifle arthroscopy when she was 5 following a field accident, no medical issue was diagnosed, but as a result she has a steroid injection in her SI / stifles every 12 - 18 months and is completely sound carrying an adult rider at the above level of regular work. I am happy to discuss this further at viewings and disclose vet records.

She has no lumps or bumps, moves well and is up to date with everything, inc jabs and teeth. She would be a perfect second pony, light weight lady allrounder or mother daughter share. Anybody looking for a beautiful, well turned out, but safe best friend would be her perfect partner.

She comes with a full wardrobe which includes numerous rugs and a professionally fitted bit & bridle.

She is advertised at a reduced price for her quality and experience, only due to her ongoing maintenance.

A nice home is paramount for this mare, she is much loved and will be missed.

Genuine reason for sale, viewings and vetting’s welcome. Numerous videos available on request.

Helsington Dark Desire aka (Harley) is a very smart 14.1 11 year old British riding pony.

Harley is a stunning pony with a lovable and cheeky personality. He's great fun to hang out with, easy to handle and is definitely a family favourite!

Harley is my first pony and he's taught me an unbelievable amount, taking me from being a complete novice at 11 years old to where I am now at 15 years old starting out on my eventing career. I've out grown him and, as tough as it is (really tough), I love him too much to retire him so young as he really loves his job so I'm actually quite excited to find him the right partner who'll be lucky enough to enjoy learning to ride and having as much fun as we have. Harley has given me heaps of confidence and I believe he will do the same for his next partner. Harley is safe out hacking and great fun, he regularly hacks on his own or big groups not batting an eyelid at either. He is unbothered by tractors, cars ect.

Harley and I have had great fun achieving all our goals at eventing which involves all three disciplines. He has lots of beautiful paces on the flat and excels in dressage regularly scoring 68%-71.5% competent at prelim and novice dressage, we believe at a dressage focused home he'll progress even more, he'll also do a great job at teaching someone the ropes on the flat. Harley confidently jumps 85cm at home with me and my 10 year old cousin who is just starting with jumping and he's doing a great job teaching her, he loves small riders. He's great out on farm rides and XC schooling ect. As his rider gains confidence so does he.

Harley looks super smart! and regularly gets compliments whenever he's out and about mainly due to his excellent breeding record with showing in his bloodline which includes his well known sire 'Helsington Dark Secret' giving him the right attributes to be a very competitive pony in the show ring.

-multiple top ten placings at 70-80 cm ode
-lots of podiums and wins out show jumping
-placed or won many dressage competitions
-competitor at the national hunter trial championship.

Harley is really good for other riders such as friends and family of all abilities from competent event riders to kids who have never even sat on a horse before. He doesn't mind being led around with little children on him and is super chill like that.

References are available from his farrier, physio, dentist and our coach.

We're really looking for an experienced home with a committed young rider who's maybe 8-10 years old looking to progress and provide a forever home for Harley.

He will load on to both trailers and lorries, he is great for the farrier, vet etc. Not a fan of his face being clipped or worming so needs re assurance for these.

5* home only, offers will be considered for the right home.

Total gentleman in all ways. Pleasure to ride and handle. Really can’t speak highly enough of Jasper.

Stands to mount. All basics established in school. Happy to lead nervous horses hacking. Or happy to slot in behind, he has never been competitive with another horse. Schools in open spaces as well as the arena.

All traffic: bikes, bus, lorry, tractors, not a problem to Jasper. Has a really relaxed outlook on life.

Jumping a small course now. Been to local cross country course, jumped all obstacles without turning a hair. Not flustered in a new environment. Will now aim for first unaffiliated dressage competition.

First to be caught every morning.

Great feet. Farriers dream! Loads ans travels in trailer.

Open to vet. No vices.

Best home sort. Saddle available.
Please call and text as coverage patchy.

Outstanding coloured gelding that is safe !!!

Super cob Joey is a very hard sort to find he is the full package. He is 15.1hh and a true all rounder beautifully put together .

Super safe and fantastic in the heaviest of traffic . Videos available of him hacking up the main road in rush hour and not fazed but the biggest of Lorrie’s . He is 4 years old but with a very old head on his shoulders .

Joey has been out and about all summer pony club , local clinics , farm rides and happy to pop around 70/80cm courses here at home with a super attitude to his work . He flys out cross country but being safe and sensible at the same time recently been on long simulated hunt rides with lots of children and ponies and behaved perfectly. He would make a super hunter for this season

He is just the perfect gent ! He has perfect stable manners, great to clip we keep his legs clipped and we can sit on the floor and clip him without him moving , bath, shoe he is shod all round and has great feet . He loves to be groomed the children have been all over him . He even lets them climb on him when lay down in his box . He loads on lorry or trailer and walks straight on without any issues

There is not enough words to do this little horse justice he is adored by everyone that meets him .

He works well on the flat for his age and his suppleness and contact is coming on well . Joey is the perfect mother daughter share or for someone wanting to go and have uncomplicated fun .

Due to his age I would not say he is suitable for a complete novice even tho he never puts a foot wrong.

He is open to any vet or trainer he has passed a 5 star vetting and ready for a summer of fun. Lot of photos and videos on request .

Ultimate allrounder that’s easy in every way!

Danny a super genuine 14.2, 5yo, registered Connemara gelding.

N/N for hoofwall
All class 1 breeding - having come direct from his breeder

Danny is a true allrounder and has the makings of a successful eventing pony and/or mother and daughter share and is a true gent to have around. Danny will turn his hoof to anything, and only aims to please. He has the correct foundations, having being produced slowly and correctly, along with a fantastic attitude to life, in order to excel in any chosen discipline.

He is jumping nicely round a course, showing great potential and plenty of scope and has been XC schooling, proving sensible in open spaces and brave to a fence. He is the type willing to try off any stride, and is completely unbothered by colours or fillers.
Danny is schooling nicely on the flat in all three paces, and is always snaffle mouthed. He is hacking both alone and in company. Proving sensible and good in all the traffic he’s seen, this includes cars, bikes, rattly trailers, tractors etc

Danny has been ridden by a novice 8year old boy and 14 year old girl who is learning to trot as well as having my 2yr old god daughter on his back to walk around. He is a real hard favourite that every teenager dreams of. He has been ridden around the fields bareback and in a head collar, again proving an absolute gent. He schools nicely on the flat, with a balanced arm chair canter and is always snaffle mouthed.

He is good to load, travel, catch, bath, handle, shoe etc. Danny loves a cuddle and fuss, and is just happy being around you. He has a heart of gold and will try anything to please, proving uncomplicated to deal with. He the type you can leave a few days and then jump straight back on. He truly is a Mr reliable, with a heart of gold.
