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.

• Hacks well alone and in company
• Has enjoyed beach rides
• Lives out in summer; stabled at night in winter

Loves his job whether alone or in company

Not strong or silly in open spaces

Snaffle mouthed

Easy and responsive, happily stands to mount and do gates

Golden to clip, shoe, bath, catch and load

Gets hot travelling but is improving with each outing

Can be grumpy and strong on the ground if stressed, this is reflected in his price.

Comes with tack and extras

Sweet, kind and quiet rising 5yo 14hh beautifully marked pony

Birdie is a lovely 14hh 4 yo (old head on young shoulders!) proper irish cob. She is a well marked beautiful pony inside and out!

Birdie is good to hack, alone or in company-she is good traffic and good with other horses. She is good to ride on the road, and good to ride in open space. She does not buck, rear, nap etc - she is a rising 5yo but has a superb attitude and lovely temperament to be ridden by children.

Birdie is working well in the school- she walk trot canters correctly, and is soft in the mouth, again she is a younger pony so there is so so much more to come. But she has all the correct attributes and training to become something really special- either for the show ring or dressage potential.

Birdie jumps very well, she has a great technique, she is careful in front and v good behind over a fence. She is bold and careful. She had attended clear round show jumping shows, she is good in the warm up with other ponies and no different in the ring.

Birdie has been xc schooling and jumped all the ditches and coloured fences and went straight into the water.

Birdie is an easy pony to have around, she is good to load, lead, catch, travel and stands to be bathed- she is lovely in the stable and not mareish and would be happy with children around her. She is very much a big dog, she is a steady enough kick along pony. She is a real ‘family friend’ and would be a good mother/child share.


Good to shoe, good to clip. She is open to any vet inspection and has no health issues.

She is only a rising 5yo, but she is such an old head on young shoulders. She is substantial enough for adults to ride and jump. She would be an ideal mother/child share. As she is young I wouldn’t say any young horse is suitable for a total novice home who has never had horses and have no support- but she is a forgiving pony for a child or nervous person to ride! 5* home wanted for a very highly thought of pony!!
Some tack included.

This little legend of a pony needs absolutely no introduction. He has been a lovely lead rein pony for his last 2 jockeys, winning many showing and dressage classes, taking champion at various venues and turning heads wherever he goes.

CHAPS Registered

Smudge loves to hack and is great on and off the lead. He is unphased by the heaviest of traffic/machinery and is also broken to drive.

He is a good lead rein pony but is NOT a first pony for someone coming off the lead. He needs an older child who is a good capable jockey as he can be opinionated at times off the lead. I believe he’d be a great WH Pony, Open Pony or Riding Club Pony.

He is great to: load, travel, clip, lead, catch, shoe, bath, amazing in the stable with children, hack etc.

Please no novices. Homes will be vetted.

Western Gale- 128- Mare- Irish Sport Pony- Show Jumper- Honest & Kind Family Pony- 15yrs

A very sad sale of our much loved family pony. Gale has brought our daughter from x-poles to taking home red rosettes in tracks of 80cm, pony club rallies, camps, hacks, cross-country and beach rides.

Gale is honest, kind and gentle. She is great with all our children (& puts up with a lot from our 2 year old daughter!).

She absolutely loves showjumping. She thrives and comes alive when she is jumping. She is fast against the clock, loves to win and knows her job.

Gale is the easiest pony on the yard. She is easy to load, travel, clip, shoe and for the dentist.

We are Gales 2nd home. We are looking for a five star 3rd home for Gale, so that she can thrive at what she loves best, and receive the same love and care we have shown her over the years.

Truffle , 14.2hh rising 6yr old. Stunning Irish cob mare. Beautifully marked , leg in each corner type

Has been hunting with the Flint and Denbigh. Super sensible all day , snaffle mouthed , jumped rails and good with the hounds. Piloted by a young girl with not much hunting experience !

Truffle enjoys xc schooling and the farm rides , jumps well over natural fences. She’s excellent to hack alone and in company , passes all traffic completely unphased. Perfect in open spaces. She is balanced in the arena with 3 good paces , more of a leg on ride but does have good transitions. Pops a course in the arena.

Would suit a more novice rider , she is steady and sensible , but has been enjoyed by better rides also. Would take a child or an adult , she’s super stocky so takes the leg well. Has previously been a general alrounder and been enjoyed by all levels of rider.

Truffle is a pleasure to have around , handled by children. Easy to do in every way. No vices , lumps or bumps.

Ruby - It’s with a very heavy heart that we look for Ruby’s new home

Ruby is currently ridden by children of all ages and abilities (owned by 11 year old) and all off lead. However, we feel Ruby would be best suited as a lead rein or 1.5/2nd pony to reach her full potential. Ruby is one in a million. Happy to be dressed up, painted, plaited and will stand there all day long to be pampered, she is a regular at pony club rallies and attended pony club camp this year. She has been to arena hires, XC, the gallops and competed in local shows proving to do very well in the dressage arena.

Ruby is well schooled and has started her lateral work with a competent jockey but she is still young and so would need to continue her education. She hacks out alone and in company. Not fazed by any traffic/farm machinery, she is confident out on the open forest with ponies, cows deer and pigs roaming around. She absolutely loves a good gallop across the forest if you ask. But will adjust to rider, so if you want a steady walk and trot she is just as happy.

Ruby is one of the most versatile little cobs out there.. with her eye catching looks and powerful compact short backed conformation she is a serious show ring pony and would suit a showing/ dressage home if you really want results. She is happy to pop a small course and really loves a jump out on the forest!

Honest notes:
*Ruby will put in a small buck when going into canter occasionally, this has not unseated her child riders but more schooling will help with this.
*After coming to us with bad mallenders, which is all cleared up with no further flare ups, she is sensitive around her legs and needs an understanding farrier (she is unshod). However she is good as gold to have her feet picked out daily and washed for shows.
*If ridden in the school by a complete beginner she will be lazy and yet will be forward off the leg for a confident jockey..
*Ruby travels like a dream in a trailer or 7.5t but didn’t enjoy travelling backwards in a 3.5t the once we tried, however as she travels so well normally we expect it to get better with practice.

Only a loving, capable home for this young wonder pony

'Lightning' The MOST Gorgeous Best Friend anyone could wish for. He is the easiest, sweetest boy to handle. We call him our pet dog, as he would follow us around all day for cuddles if he could.

He is beautiful on the flat and very responsive. He behaves at arena hire, cross country, pony club rallies, fun rides and competitions, the same as he does at home. Perfect in open spaces and not strong. Been through water & loves a day out.

Before us he was in Ireland, and loved to go out hunting too.

We ride him in a snaffle, but when a tiny rider pops on him we put him on the second ring on a gag & this gives them plenty of brakes. Nothing more is needed, he’s that perfect. He really wants to please & never does anything naughty.

When at the gallops he’ll fly up the track with the rider trying to win, or stay 1/2 a mile back with a nervous rider just wanting to trot. He really is a dream.

Saying all this, he isn’t a complete first pony, as he loves jumping & becomes much more forward when you pop the jumps up past 50cm. He will happily trot around a course of cross poles though. If the rider can hold their reins, walk & trot, then he’ll teach you everything else nice & calmly.

He’s been to lots of stay away shows this year & loved it. Most recently Spooktacular at Arena UK, jumping double clears every day in the 40&50cm.

We’ve competed him successfully up to 65cm. Arena Hire up to 80cm, individual jumps up to 95cm. Scope for more.

In Ireland he competed in 18 classes, 70&80cm and won 17 of them!! Had 1 pole in the other. With an experienced jockey he would be a complete rosette machine!

Very fast against the clock, incredible turns. Could also be a fantastic games pony with training.

He is ridden successfully by a small 6 year old girl. As his 8 year old rider is the size of a 12-13 year old, so just too big for another season :(.

He’s never been schooled by adults. Any size kid/ or age can jump on. He’s good to go and super sensible & safe.

He does not kick, rear, buck or anything else of this description. No vices, or issues.

Turns out with mares & geldings.

Handled by kids daily, including my 4 year old, who turns him out & brings him in. The kids often ride him back & forth to the field in a head collar, sat on his rug.

Up to date with farrier, injections, chiropractor, dentist and wormers.

Price £9,000 – £10,500 (depending on tack options)

Full set of rugs and tack negotiable.

Meet Rio, a cute pony looking for a new home as a project pony. Rio would suit a home where he can continue his education to become a ridden pony and live in a big herd with other ponies.

Rio is easy to handle and very friendly towards people. Rio does get attached to his equine friends so would need company at all times. Although Rio has the potential to be a ridden pony, he would make a great companion to any horse, making him the perfect addition to your horsey family.

Can you offer Rio a loving home?

Please adopt Rio

Quality gypsy cob mare


Ref #: 396569
  • Straight forward and dependable
  • Owned and bred by us, so full knowledge
  • Comes with Albion made to measure saddle, and full wardrobe
£12,500 ONO
  • Cob

If your life is full with work, family, and commitments—but you still want a horse you can enjoy whenever you have the time—this mare could be exactly what you are looking for.
She is the definition of straightforward and dependable. You can leave her for days or weeks and she will be exactly the same when you get back on: calm, willing, and a genuine pleasure to ride. No constant leg, no sharpness, no drama—just a comfortable, responsive ride with an easy, balanced way of going and a lovely, sensible equal “go and whoa.”

She is happy to enjoy a forward canter across fields or down tracks, yet always comes back easily and safely. She stands patiently at the mounting block for as long as needed and is very accommodating for riders who value stability and good manners.

Hacking is where she truly shines. She hacks alone or in company, will happily be led from another horse or lead one herself, opens and closes gates, and is completely unfazed by heavy traffic—we live on a 50mph road. She is the sort of horse you can relax on and simply enjoy.

She has also had a varied and sensible life: attending dressage and show jumping competitions and clinics (Prelim dressage and up to 70cm), being a wonderful broodmare who conceived and foaled easily, and most importantly, being a safe, confidence-giving hack. She is the horse you get on without worrying how long it has been since you last rode.

She is barefoot, fully vaccinated, and very easy to manage—good to clip, wash, spray, and handle in all aspects. She comes with a made-to-measure Albion K2 saddle, Seddon bridle, and a selection of rugs.

This mare is offered at a sensible but realistic price for a genuinely special, safe, and versatile horse. She would suit a rider looking for a kind, trustworthy partner rather than a project. She deserves to be someone’s number one and is only available because I have bred a taller replacement.

A truly lovely cob for someone who wants quality, reliability, and peace of mind.
