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.

MOELTRYFAN CHEEKY BOY

Re-advertised as buyer pulled out of sale.
Do not contact me unless you read the advert carefully and are only after an older schoolmaster pony .This sale is difficult enough so don’t waste my time or your time. Mid- high four figures for our beloved pony.

Steady, confidence giving, safe, fun, all rounder - the most loving pony and child’s best friend.

Heartbreaking sale of my son’s best friend-A real life perfect unicorn. Please note Boo is looking for younger children on the lead-rein or older riders that are lightweight. Please read carefully and only contact me if you can fit the criteria as we are wanting the perfect match!
We are looking for a home that can offer him only but the best! We don’t want a competition home every weekend but an all round family home with a varied lifestyle.

• Schoolmaster
• Stunning looks and a beautiful, easy rocking horse canter. He’s steady yet responsive.

Boo enjoyed the show ring before turning his hoof to hunting, pony club and a more all-round life.

We bought Boo to give my son confidence after loosing his nerve with a pony that bucked and reared all the time, he didn’t want to ride anymore and this pony restored his confidence. So much so that he’s now moved onto his next pony which is 14hh.

We don’t want to part with Boo but he’s too lovely and talented to be ridden occasionally and a family pet.

He deserves the best home now and to give a child the joy he’s given us.
Boo has many rosettes , winning many times and trophies . He’s admired wherever we go.

He’s attended PC Camps , numerous rallies and he has competed successfully at lots of local shows and mini ODEs.He has been to many busy hunt meets and hunted with us and his previous home. We've done pc camps, rallies, pc show jumping, cross country, showing, mini one day events, hunting, fun rides, local shows, gymkhanas, village fete pony rides the list is endless!

Boo is a pony club superstar - nothing he has not done. Boo loves jumping and he jumped up to 70cm and 80cm with my son at competitions , alongside winning the Chase Me Charlie at camp jumping 1M.

His only vice is rarely ( once or twice in a year) he’s bucked in an open space
( cantering in field) through excitement. This hasn’t bothered or worried my son at all. He would never do this on the lead rein or in the arena - it’s only when the children have moved up to the 2nd type pony.

Hacks alone or in company. Nannies other horses and ponies out hacking. Used to calm and give confidence to others out and about. Totally safe with busy traffic or outside pubs with lots going on.

Boo is kind and gentle on the ground and always handled by children, will stand for hours to be pampered, loves to be groomed and washed. He has the patience of a saint. Amazing manners. He's happy to be groomed, fussed and pampered all day long. I know, I can let my children safely handle him to groom, bath, tack up, rug up, muck out and load.


Boo can be left for weeks without been ridden. He is in at night over the winter and out by day over the spring/summer on restricted grazing. He’s had laminitis once with his previous owners and we have been very strict about his regime and diet. He’s never shown any signs with us.

He's been fully shod due to the terrain where we live and work load and currently just fronts, but can go bare foot depending on work load and terrain. We live on a busy working farm so he's used to big machinery cattle, sheep and noise.

Up to date with all vaccinations. No health issues. Perfect for the vet, farrier, dentist and to clip.

From the stable to out and about, Boo is a joy. His temperament is second to none - loving, gentle, and cheekily charming.
This pony means the world to my son and to us as a family.
This is a very sad and difficult sale, and we are looking for the right home because he's only had 2 homes before us. The previous owners would like updates and to stay in touch. His last owners had Boo for 10 years from lead-rein to 2nd pony, he kept the three girls safe throughout their riding journey so he’s incredibly important to them as well as his first owner and myself.
The ideal home would be an experienced pony club family home with younger siblings looking to ride Boo once he’s outgrown.

Price includes tack and rugs . Strictly no time wasters . Homes will be vetted and please only enquire if you think you might be the next suitable home. Many Thanks.

Coco has participated in many pony club activities with both us and her previous owner. Recently she competed in the pony club regional championships at both 70 and 80cm and made us proud with 5 clear rounds.

FEI measured 148 schoolmaster - a pony who needs little introduction the legendary Rathlee Warrior.

The kindest pony with a heart of gold, very rarely home without a red rosette and has given his current jockey the most amazing season.

Originally purchased to get her confidence back after a tricky pony causing her to fall out of love with the sport, with only half a season left until she was out of juniors Ralph quickly fixed some big confidence issues and has won and won up to 1.20 level, before the rider had very little form at 1 metre and he managed to take her from this to top track level in a matter of months!

He jumped at every major summer pony prem this year and won every time out. We owe him so much for what he’s done with his current jockey, and really want to see him give another riders much joy as he has us!

Undoubtedly a great contender for Pony Showjumper classes next year, huge stride with a heart of gold and incredibly capable of getting back to HOYS 2026 - 5* home an absolute must and potential homes will be vetted, possibility of lease options.

Super sound and correct and such a gentleman to handle at home, requires zero veterinary maintenance!

Hundreds of videos and photos available, based in Hallingbury, Herts!

  • Wonderful temperament, great with children and adults alike.
  • Genuine schoolmaster, ideal for young teenager that she can help step-up.
  • Great to hack, loves to jump and enjoys flatwork.

Stepol Northern Dancer “DANCER”, beautiful bay 14.2hh allrounder, Welsh section D mare who loves to be active. 16 years’ old and a genuine schoolmaster, she is great with children of all ages and adults alike but would thrive with a young teenager that she can help step up. She is easy to groom and tack-up with an excellent temperament, great to hack either alone or in company, is good around cars, and loves to jump up to 1m comfortably and has occasionally jumped up to 1m20 single fences. She enjoys flatwork but does not have much experience in dressage, however, would make for a beautiful dressage pony.

She is good to travel, but can sometimes be reluctant to load if she doesn’t travel regularly or isn’t familiar with box/trailer. She has been to multiple farm rides, non affiliated show jumping competitions, cross country events, arena hires and gallops and has thrived in all areas. She is not strong and has exceptionally good breaks so is only ridden in a snaffle with no flash required. She was also previously part of a Pony Club at a riding school.

For the last couple of years, Dancer has generally only been ridden for non-competitive pleasure but can easily be brought back up to a competing level.

She was bought for 11-year-old daughter and has done well with her for the 5 years we have owned her, only deciding to sell due to a change in circumstances and time commitments. Dancer is a low maintenance pony, who typically lives out from March through to the end of October with no issues. She prefers life living out and only gets brought in at night during the winter months due to requirements of the livery she is on now but would be happy to live out all year round.

She has never bucked, reared, or kicked people during our ownership, however, does experience mild crib biting after she is given treats or is in the stable for prolonged periods, no health issues have been identified by her vet.

An absolutely wonderful pony ideal for first time or experienced owners alike.

• Vaccinations and worming up to date
• Microchipped
• Good to clip (has been in winter for past 3 years)
• Good to shoe (every 6 weeks and only has front 2 on currently)

With a heavy heart we are looking for a new 5* home for this awesome pony.

Mitchelcombe Banoffee Pie - Bonnie is a 13.2 Welsh Cob x Dartmoor

We’ve owned Bonnie for almost 2yrs and would absolutely not be looking for anything else if my daughter hadn’t grown out of her.

She schools well, has been to arena hires, XC and SJ and can turn her hoof to dressage, though it’s something my daughter is only just taking an interest in. She has done all PC activities and did Pony camp this summer and really showed what she’s capable of.

Bonnie has been out on hound exercises. She loves a job and loves to jump. She is well mannered on the ground and can live in or out but I would say she prefers out or a mix of the two. She can pull a face when you do her girth but she is just letting you know it’s not her favourite thing.

She hacks alone or in company, great in heavy traffic ,farm machinery etc
She’s great for the farrier, dentist, physio and happy to be clipped, can occasionally be reluctant to load but we have used a lunge line around her bum and she then loads straight away (we also give her a treat once she is on which helps).

Bonnie is up to date with everything. She’s had a new saddle while we’ve had her with regular checks and was recently fitted with a new bit and bridle. She is snaffle mouthed, can be strong at times but never dangerous. She is the perfect pony for someone that is a brave, confident rider who will push her to do what she loves, anyone who has this pony will be very lucky to have her.

This is a super sad sale so no time wasters, extra videos can be sent on request .

Price to include full tack and wardrobe

This pony needs no introduction Annandale New Approach (Roachy), Top Class 122 WHP/Nursery Stakes pony looking for a new home 

Strawberry Roan. By Soudley Taliesin. Welsh Section B. 2008.

He is a pony of a lifetime, regularly appearing at Hoys, LIHS & RIHS. Roach has a wealth of experience in the WH ring. He is beautifully schooled and is a prolific winner in the First Ridden classes also.

He has competed at winter dressage, NSCA, arena eventing 85cm with many qualifications in all spheres.

Roach is an incredible competition pony who has jumped around all of the major show venues with an impressive list of wins, championships and qualifications in his CV, to include high placings at HOYS & RI (winner). He is also a strong contender in the plaited nursery stakes classes, having previously finished fifth at RIHS in this class.

He was the winner of two highest qualifying 122 whp classes in 2024.

Would also do BS.

Always home produced, loves hacking, no vices. Easy to box, catch, shoe, clip.

This is a very difficult decision. He is such a lovely pony. We purchased Roach six months ago for my 9 year old daughter.

My daughter has sadly had 2 broken arms aged four and aged seven. The two breaks knocked her confidence which she does struggle with, she prefers the flat.

Although Roach has done nothing wrong, he is an Open pony who loves his job and we have realised that Florence needs something that requires more leg to build her confidence.

We are looking for a 5* home for this lovely boy. The price reflects this incredible pony so please, no daydreamers.

Serious enquiries, please no time wasters.

Rosie has been sadly outgrown . Has been there and done it . Would suit a **confident and able** rider . Not a first or second pony .

Has evented up to 100 , and BD , BS record .

She is a competitive little pony . Easy to do everything with and a lovely character on the ground . Can squeal at the boys when in season .

Total saint on the flat and to hack , steps up a gear jumping and needs a rider to ride not be a passenger .

Serious enquiries only , very sad sale of a much loved pony .

Registered Connemara - 14hh 16 years Young Strawberry Roan Connemara Mare by Straboe Prince, out of Devlish silver belle.

Super fun competition pony, done all PC activities, an absolute XC super star, never says no, will jump from any stride, ditches , water, skinnies, steps etc, as brave as a lion and real rossette winner. Competed ODEs , pairs, Hunter trials, arena eventing .

Has the most amazing honest jump, has never been registered BS so is eligible for British Novice and a a sure to be a real rossette winner and ultra competitive. Won buckets of unaffiliated classes at 90cm level with all the jump in the world to be a top track in the right hands.

Elegant paces, well schooled and rides in an outline. Would also suit higher levels PC / School teams / Tetrathalons /

Good to hunt and very good to hack on her own and in company. Parent child / share

Sweet, kind nature , enjoys kisses cuddles and attention.

She is a fun, forward going , competition type pony so she’s not suitable as a first pony and would be wasted with a novice or nervous child.

No blemishes or stable vices

Lovely to have on the yard and a pleasure to do eveything with

Tentatively thinking about letting our Monkey go to pastures new.

He has been an amazing pony for us for the past five years, and is very well known on the local circuit.

Isla and him had the most amazing bond and they won so many classes showjumping and WHP , he is so scopey for a small pony, and we have not found any filler in the country that he has even looked at , let alone spooked at.

He is brave, bold and an off the leg ride, whilst not being strong, he is however not called Monkey for no reason and will not tolerate wet wipes, bad riding or wimps, he loves a brave competitive jockey that will throw him round the jump off turns and dare him off any line, (and Isla did jump him off some very questionable lines!) he is also fab cross country and will jump anything.
Currently out hunting every week and loving it.

Monkey does have his quirks , which we love him for and he wouldn’t be monkey without them, but when you get in the ring , he will give you 110% and more every time, I have so many videos and pictures,

We wanted to keep him for my son who loves riding him, and has also competed him , but realistically he hasn’t got the time for him, the motocross just takes up too much of his time and Monkey has so much to give another jockey.

Part exchange welcome Transport available nationwide .

Based in Kent, Rhyd Ifan Guinness (Guinness) is a 18 year old Irish sportspony.. we've had Guinness for nearly three years now and very sad to sell him as we no longer have enough time for him.

Guinness mainly enjoys jumping and will very confidently jump around a 80cm course with scope to go higher, he also enjoys cross country and will happily hack alone or in company.

Despite being 18, Guinness is in very good shape and definitely has a good few years of competing left in him.

Guinness is good with the farrier, good to clip, good for vet, etc.

Guinness is happy to be turned out alone or in company (both mares and geldings), and Guinness needs turnout all year round.

Guinness is up for anything and is a plug and play horse when competing; you put him in the arena and he knows exactly what his job is. And he truly is a once in a lifetime pony, and we are gutted to sell him.

Guinness is not a novice ride and needs a confident teenager. Don’t be fooled by his age! He’s a gem!

Happy to share videos etc etc

This is an advert we have been putting off for so long, but he is now hopelessly outgrown and needs to go and make another little persons dreams come true.

He was bought 9 years ago for my then 4-year-old for M&M LR showing and he has literally been her best friend ever since.

He has had an amazing and successful show career to date; Inhand, Ridden, Championships, Supremes and has literally covered my daughters bedroom walls with rosettes, trophies and sashes from Lead Rein, First Ridden to Show Hunter Pony. He can equally be produced and home produced.

My daughter has literally learned everything on him from her up/downs, to coming off lead, to cantering, learning to jump, cross country, dressage, pony club and mounted games.

He hasn’t been showing for a few years, but I am sure he would love to go back to it, strutting his stuff in the ring like the showman he is, or equally be a little person’s best friend showing them the ropes like he has done for my daughter.

He is by Nantdywyll Telor out of Colne Tatiana and his full siblings include Colne Tulip, Colne Turbo, Colne Taboo.

Please only message if you are genuinely interested as this is an extremely hard sale for us as a family. No price kickers or video collectors.

Connemara - Grey - Gelding - 18 years - 14.1hh

Clancy has been the most fantastic mother daughter share. With the same family for the past 5 years where he was used mainly for fun at home with lots of hacking, alone and in company and a bit of local dressage, showing and show jumping. Safely taught a novice 12 year old and got a 50 year riding again after 30 year gap!

Very sadly for sale as daughter is off to University.

Has hunted, done pony club and beach rides with previous owner.

5* home wanted for this special lad - ideally a busyish yard with other horses.

Lots of photos and videos available on request.

Can be viewed in Wokingham , available with saddle and wardrobe included.

Note - Clancy will not pass flexions but has been deemed fit for purpose by vet
