Gelding

Introducing the beautiful shadow a true stamp of a Connemara, with a fabulous temperament and work attitude.

Shadow works well in 3 balanced paces and is very easy to do in all ways. He has some brilliant flat work for his age

Shadow has been out xc training proving to be easy and enjoys being out in the open space.

Good to hack out alone or in company, happy to be first or last

Shadow would make an excellent all rounder for someone or make a fantastic mother/daughter share.

Good to shoe, box and clip

Cashel is a firm yard favourite! He has been with us for over 6 months now and really has shone!

He is not phased by children running around or changes in routine, he takes everything in his stride. he is very independent and loves to hack out alone or in company. Although we live in a village he has seen most types of traffic.

He has been out on multiple occasions to arena hires and competitions all unaffiliated and done extremely well. cashel is good to load and good at the show waiting around and in the warm up. He has been jumping 90 cm s with ease!

He is working at prelim level but has his changes already established and has a great uphill light canter! he works in a nice light outline and responsive off the leg in transitions.

Cashel has all the talent and personality to be easy to train and produce further for grass root eventing or pure show jumping, he also is a real kind boy who loves fuss and a pony club mother daughter share would also suit.

* He already has a full set of clean x rays.

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.

  • 14 years
  • 14.3 hands
  • Easy to do allrounder
  • Mother / Daughter share
  • Lovely temperament, always willing and relaxed

Sad sale of this lovely mare who has been a great mother/daughter share for us. She loves hacking and doesn’t spook at anything. Happy to go first or last and I trust her completely to go off for a hack alone with my 12 year old or with groups of her pony friends for zoomies!

Think she’d love hunting as she is very relaxed on group rides and never silly.

This summer she went to senior camp and did everything. She loves her XC and has a super jump but doesn’t have much experience showjumping so we’ve taken this slowly.

Did do dressage in her previous home and does know what to do with the right aids but we haven’t worked on this.

Easy to catch, good for farrier, loads in box or trailer happily and very good doer.

We are looking for a loving home for this beautiful mare as my daughter wants to focus on showjumping competitively and this is not for her.

  • Offering a loving and experienced home
  • Safe and sensible type wanted to enjoy life together
  • An all round nice person to love and care for
A loving home offered with a fun and varied life for the horse with hacking, pub rides, groundwork, weekly lessons and riding club activities. Established basics would be great for low level dressage and training clinics. I am an equine massage therapist in my spare time so lots of care will be provided! I have some great instructors to help both ridden work and groundwork.

Ideally looking for:
-14.3 - 16hh MW Stamp (Cobs/Irish Draft/Connie X/ISH types)
- Good to hack in company, alone and in traffic
-Been there and done that type

Lovely airy stable waiting with a window and all year herd turnout plus 24/7 turnout over the summer. Very happy to keep in touch with regular updates and visits should you wish. We have had our retired pony (now 32) for over 20 years and still keep in touch with his previous owner. Looking for my next horse due to sad injury of my loan horse, who is now enjoying his new life in the field.

If you have something suitable I look forward to hearing from you. Based in Surrey but can travel for the right horse.

  • Potential to be superb at any job but also happy just to have a laid back life at home

Lovely lady owner or family home is sought for our much loved Tango. We bought Tango as an un-started 4 year old, have done everything ourselves quietly and given him lots of time to grow and mature, so he is physically very strong and sound, and low mileage for his age.

He works very correctly on the flat and always tries to please, his dressage is established at Novice level and he is ready to go and do some Elementaries now, if dressage is your bag. He would easily train up the levels and the judges love him. His colour is extremely eye catching too.

He has been well placed at the BD Associated champs, BRC Dressage qualifiers and champs, and Trailblazers. I have deliberately kept his BD outings minimal as he would easily gain too many points to remain eligible for the "fun stuff" that we like to do.

We never planned to sell Tango therefore I didn't do any jumping until he turned 7 (last year) so that he had finished growing as I don't believe in jumping horses on young legs! He does love to jump and will happily pop round 80 and 90 tracks, he has the ability to do much more as he he gains experience and confidence.

He has completed a couple of baby one day events and been excellent, placing second at each, and also done a bit of unaffiliated show jumping. I have done many show jumping and xc clinics with him last summer so it wouldn't take much effort to get him out eventing etc. He would also be plenty smart enough to do working hunter classes.

This is a sad sale due to lack of time and our circumstances so he will only go to the best home we can find, or stay with us and take some time off, as he is one in a million.

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.

Brook Mountain. Beautiful, grey, sporty, pure bred Connemara out of Mountain Cascade.

This gorgeous boy was broken at 4 yrs and then not worked until 6 when he was brought into work and we bought him 6 weeks on.

We've had him for 3 years and brought him on slowly and carefully.

He was professionally schooled weekly for his first year with us and has done pony club, 2 camps, competed SJ, dressage, ODE , seen hounds, beach rides etc. He passed 5* vetting when we bought him and we will happily share this with any prospective buyer.

Open to vet. Never sick or sorry.

Lives out but also happy to be in- on his own or with company. He's a very friendly horse and good to handle, catch, shoe, clip, load, travel, Currently lives in busy village and regularly sees double decker buses, lorries, motorbikes and tractors/trailers and is not phased at all.

Teeth, vaccinations, shoeing up to date. His current jockey is now away at school during the week for A-levels and has limited time to give him the consistent work he likes. So needs a new jockey now to enjoy him and realise his potential.

No novices as he can be strong when he's excited and can throw in a cheeky buck! Tack included.

** 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.

Looking for a new home as very sadly outgrown and this fantastic horse deserves to be going out and having fun with a new best friend.

Exceptional Hunter/Allrounder for a keen and competent teenager / small adult or mother/teen share (he is a fun forward going horse , therefore not suitable for a novice / nervous rider).

Well known in the Pytchley Hunt and Pony Club, where he has been hunted by teenagers for the last 7+ years (low mileage due to school commitments) excellent with hounds, stands perfectly at the meet and crosses all country with a smile on his face, knows his job and loves to be upfront. Very scopey and loves to jump, particularly enjoys hunting, hunter trials, fun rides, PC rallies and Camp and team chased with previous owner.

Hacks alone and in company, is excellent with traffic, farm machinery, livestock and good in open spaces. A pleasure to look after, handle and be around with the nicest character, good to wash, clip, shoe, catch, he loads and travels happily in a trailer or lorry on his own and in company. Very easy to take out and about on your own. Happy to be left in / turned out either on his own or in company and is always happy to see / greet you.

He has been a very big part of our family and is my sons horse of a lifetime. Therefore we want to find him his next special person and perfect home (ideally an experienced private family home) where he will continue to be cherished and adored whilst having lots of fun.

References required and homes will be vetted. Serious enquiries only - please call 07753 819389

Tack and Rugs are available by separate negotiation.

15.2hh connemara gelding

Mac Dara Duke (Benji) is an exceptional 4yrs Connemara gelding by the incredibly successful sire Manor Duke. He will mature at 15.2hh approx. He hasn’t been rushed and has been given time to mature being produced by a small (very amateur rider) slowly and correctly. He is riding exceptionally well.

Benji has fantastic floating paces and is a natural balanced and comfortable ride. Snaffle mouth.

He is working well in the arena at home, away, dressage, cross country hire and show jumping and isn’t phased by anything. He hacks alone and in company.

He has started pole work / jumping and is proving to be both brave and careful with a real 'can do' attitude.

Benji is a kind and happy gelding used to children, dogs on a busy yard and handled by non experienced / non equestrians easily enough! He has proven to be sensible with everything we have done with him and combined with his talent, fabulous paces and super conformation he would excel in any sphere from a serious competition home to a Pony Club/Riding Club home or someone who just wants to look good and feel safe hacking around the block!

He is good to catch, load, with the farrier etc. He is only for sale due to an unexpected new job offer and lack of time forces sale - he will only go to an excellent home to continue being produced correctly.
