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.

Horses like Connie do not come up for sale often. This little mare has taken me on a journey I never expected would be a reality.

Connie is fantastic on the ground. Hacks alone, in company and on the road. Easy to shoe, clip and handle.

Connie is a genuine little mare who adores competing. She loves her job and makes competing a dream. She will travel and stand on the lorry with no problems, is used to "stay away shows" and settles quickly into temporary stables. Connie is a consistent mare who is achieving over 70% in Novice and Elementary dressage tests and Low-Sub 30s in eventing.

We have a great BE record showing she is a Double Clear horse in both 90 and 100 classes. She takes on Championship classes in her stride and has the potential to be a Grassroots horse. Furthermore, Connie is something else when it comes to cross country, She is the perfect combination of safe and fun, leaving you to enjoy the round.

A 2022 17" close-contact Fairfax saddle and an Albion Dressage Saddle fitted to Connie, along with a full wardrobe is available with the sale and is included in the price.

Connie has been there and got the T-shirt. She is only for sale due to a change in owners circumstances and this decision has not come lightly. Therefore, serious enquires only - NO NOVICE RIDERS - She is an amazing mare but she is a fit competition pony who will need a confident rider to compete at a similar level.

Only the best homes will be considered for this fantastic little horse and references will be requested.

TALENTED ALLROUNDER

  • Scopey, capable and careful
  • Looks out for his rider and will keep you safe
  • Feel-good, forward going ride - fit and ready to go

15hh approx - 12yr old - Grey - Connemara - Gelding

Owned for 4 years, when he was just rising 8 and I was only 12. We’ve had mountains of fun, enjoying a range of activities and growing our partnership. Now out-grown, this truly is a heartbreaking sale of a gorgeous (inside and out) compact horse.

He is a capable all rounder, with a sporty, lighter build than your more traditional Connie and would suit a teenager or small adult. He’s an athletic and careful jumper, and will always keep his rider safe - not nasty, unsafe, or unkind. Will jump off any stride and gets you out of trouble. At home we’ve schooled showjumping up to 115cm. Immense scope. Out cross country schooling he is a machine looking for the flags. Clever with his feet through tricky combinations, always honest and tries hard for me even when I mess it up! Together we’ve schooled around BE100 tracks and breezed over many novice fences and combinations, he continually proves to be bold and forward going.

He schools well and enjoys his flat work, potential to go full dressage if that was your chosen discipline. Three balanced paces. He has hunted in his past home a few times and once with us and loves it! He would make a super hunter and would jump anything.

I’ve hacked him on my own and with company since I was 12 and he has always kept me safe. He’s a fun, keen, feel-good ride - you always return with a smile on your face! He is more woah than go. Does not buck, rear, or bolt. Rides alone or in company, at the front or back, and will happily separate from others. Isn't spooky and is good in traffic, farm machinery, dogs etc.. rides past anything with gentle encouragement.

He is the most wonderful horse to do on the ground, easy and kind to handle, well-mannered, gentlemanly and never pushy. Great to clip, shoe, load and travel. No vices. He lives out with us all year round with a field shelter, and never stresses if left alone. Is also very happy to be stabled/left by himself.

He will only go to the very best of homes. Despite his bold jump, he is a sensitive horse and requires a confident rider. Not suitable for a novice or young rider.

He has always been in a 5* home (full history known) and has been kindly produced from a youngster, so it’s vital to us that he continues his journey to a kind, sympathetic home.

Fully vaccinated and up to date with teeth & physio.

Arena jump saddle available via separate negotiation which is fitted to him. Collection of rugs also available.

If you’re interested, send me a WhatsApp first and I’ll get back to you ASAP to arrange a convenient time to call.

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.

  • Dun
  • Gelding

  • Talented little horse with event / SJ history
  • True schoolmaster and allrounder
  • Perfect horse for a teen or lightweight adult

Absolutely beautiful 15.1 dun Connemara gelding, 11 years old.

Talented, kind gelding who is a true schoolmaster and allrounder. This lovely little horse is sadly outgrown and looking for his next person. Would suit a teen or small adult rider.

Previously has evented to BE80 with scope for more. Showjumped in Ireland and has SJI points at 80 and 90cm including 3 wins. He has had a quieter few years with us as my son was not competitive but is fit and ready to go out again in any discipline. He has even carried a sidesaddle and was superb.

Good established, correct flatwork with great movement. Willing to try hard and quick to learn. Very easy in all ways, will step down for a more novice rider and up when asked.

Lovely easy jump with scope to burn, never stops, takes a miss.

Good to handle, load and travel, clip etc.

Hacks alone and in company. Good in open spaces and with all kinds of traffic.

He has been ridden regularly by teenagers and adults, and has enormously helped one nervous lady rider to gain confidence and love riding again. He’s the most useful little horse and a true yard favourite. He takes up the leg well and has been ridden by a 5’8 adult without looking at all ridiculous!

Has hunted extensively with the draghounds and absolutely loves it. He’ll give you a fantastic comfortable day. Well behaved around hounds and other horses, stands to wait, keen without being strong or silly.

He can spook but nothing dramatic.

His only flaw is that at some stage in his past he has been made earshy, and he just asks for some tactful handling around his head. With gentleness you can touch his ears and actually he enjoys a good ear rub, but prefers no sharp movements or unexpected touches to his ears. Tacking up is never a problem. He won’t do anything dramatic if you alarm him – nothing worse than swinging his head away.

He has never been lame or had an off day.

  • Confidence giving / experience
  • Fun character, laid back but knows its stuff
  • Easy to handle, take to shows on my own

Im a confident rider with many many years of experience with different breed of horses. However, as I am nearing 40, i am now looking for my last horse of a life time, so looking for a nice allrounder to have fun and bring me back home safe and in one piece.

I own a small holding which consists of stables, arena and 10 acres of land.

Currently have 6 horses at home which consist of a pony for my daughter, 2 retired that have been with me for years and 3 youngsters I bred myself.

Things I am looking for in my next horse - they must be easy to do in all ways, I often will go to shows by myself or with my young daughter.

Confidence giver and forgiving in the jumping department, someone to help me out when I get it wrong - nice steady approach when jumping, don’t want something that locks on a shoots forward.

Hack out alone and in company.

Would like to start doing more dressage, so something that knows the basics.

I do enjoy the odd fun ride with a friend so would be nice if I can do this without the horse jogging the entire way or running off when another horse comes past. (Had many of these type of horses when I was younger, my body was more able back then)

No bucking, rearing - I understand it is impossible to ask for a bomb proof horse but something not too spooky.

I am actively looking and have a healthy budget for the right horse.

Height - 15.2hh to 16.3hh

Age - 7 years to 11years may go slightly older depending on how old. But don’t want to go any younger as I do what the horse to have experience.

Ideally looking to buy from a private home, someone who has had their horse for a while and knows a lot of history.

Horse must be open to vet and vet history.

If you think you may have something to suit please get in touch.

I am also happy to keep in touch with previous owner etc.

Sorry no full TB/ex racer or cobs

Deep seeking my nxt best friend. 14.3 up 16h really as I cant get on big ones!

If 14.3it MUST be full up without a short choppy stride.
No COPD&( or serious issues which I seem to be getting offers of??) I’m ok with the odd join injected as easily manageable. I have a double forward facing trailer only,

Pref an older or atleast “been there type“ with lots of experience to get my confidence bk enjoying a bit of jumping (only 70-80& rc clinics), lots of forest hacking at home.

Exp private home in E.Sussex / Kent on beautiful private farm. I'm a petite adult with yrs of competition exp & just want to get something that is genuine to enjoy. Nice easy ride with zero quirks, .Spook fine out hacking but no bucking, spins or rears or bolting.
I’d say more of a leg on rather than pull but equally not a plod.
Easy to load alone & happy waiting around at clinics without any drama. No getting buzzy
Minor health issues are fine if disclosed. Poss a failed vetting?MUST hack alone & CALM in comp without dramas. We meet dogs & push bikes in forest here so must be genuine & safe though not wanting a plod & nothing too heavy as I am petite.

Im very exp& use to compete a lot but now just wanting a kind, easy type to enjoy at home with my older boy. Not wanting to compete very much at all just fun rides& Rc clinics& low level jumping occasionally.
..I don’t own a school here so im not into endless circles, quite the opp, hence needing something who knows it job. Have stables & land at home with other horses as field mates.

Home for life- Ex vet nurse& has had Equines all my life(.

£8k max, less if older type. Not intr buying off a dealer if no a bit of history. Too many being sold with unknown health issues

She still in novice BS points

Patchy is an out and out jumping machine who has taken me from BE 80 - Novice and started BS seniors Novice to Newcommers. She’s quick against the clock and would be an ideal Amateurs/ bronze league horse. She’s been on every Pony Club and Riding Club team you could imagine, jumped up to 1.15 at shows, 1.25 at home and novice xc although she has schooled over plenty of intermediate lines.

She’s uncomplicated to a fece, never stops and not spooky at fillers etc. Patchy loves a big occasion and has jumped on teams at all the local internationals, and competitor at countless championships.

Patchy is a beast out xc, won many hunter trials and always close to the clock . She’s one of those ponies that you could work everyday or equally give her weeks off and she’d be the same.

She loves to hunt, been to all the big days out new years, Boxing Day etc happy to be at the front or back and jumps all the big hedges then stands impeccably at the port stops.

If you want a pony that really jumps she’s your girl, however she is not the best in boards but if you can put up with her 46 dressage score she’ll jump novices all day long. Although she has worked well on the flat with some other riders so if you have some time the scores might come down. Jumped indoors and out, on grass and in the deepest of mud.

Great to load, stay away shows, and stands and waits impeccably on the lorry or trailer for her turn. I also ride and lead all my young horses of her and she’s not fazed. She’s got a lovely temperament lives in or out and easy to do in every way.

She is good to clip but a little nervous to start with. She also does weave occasionally at dinner time but if you tell her to stop she does.

Super sad sale of a beloved little horse. 5* home only
