Meet ‘Indiana Jones’ aka ‘Jake’ - 16.2hh, 11yo, beautiful sports horse gelding.
Jake has clean limbs and no vices

Jake is a super mannerly type in and out of the stable. Real easy character to have around who’s good to do everything with. Stands for farrier , good to turn out / bring in etc , good to clip, bath , groom / tack up etc etc - handled and looked after daily by a 13 year old.

Jake is lovely to ride in the school. The type the kids can kick around on the buckle or the type a more competent rider can get on and get a beautiful piece of work out of him. Has done several dressage tests , clinics etc in previous home so is well schooled up and down the transitions , makes a beautiful shape and easy to ride. Always in a snaffle , leg in each corner type

Jake hasn’t really done any jumping so is very green in this sphere although with his willing nature , I’m sure this is something they can be quickly added to his resume

Loves to the hack out. He’s happy to go alone or in company. A very easy type who’s unphased by traffic and very reliable and easy. Stands perfectly to mount , sane in open spaces and again, always in a snaffle.

As well as many dressage tests , Jake also has many miles of hacking and fun rides to add to his CV

He’s a very sweet natured chap with an athletic model , making him very classy and appealing. Most definitely the current yard favourite with my yard girls!

Jake has had a previous KS operation a couple of years ago, which he recovered from in a textbook manner with no further issues / complications / delays etc - this isn’t something that would put me off , at least you know he hasn’t got KS! No other health issues or ailments and open to any vetting.

• 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.

• Super Talented little horse with a bright future
• Well Bred and well related
• Jumping courses of 90cm with scope

JJ is a fabulous little horse with a very bright future ahead of him. He is well bred by Britannia's Mail, a stallion with a promising progeny of international eventers. His dam sire is KWPN dressage stallion Houston, who competed well at PSG/Inter 1. This breeding oozes quality and athleticism. And gives JJ the versatility needed for modern day eventing.

JJ has had a steady start in life, produced with his future in mind, He has competed in a fair few unaffiliated competitions and is now ready to take the step up into the world of affiliated competiton. On the flat, JJ has 3 uphill naturally balanced paces. he works in a correct outline and has competed well at prelim level.

In his previous home, jumping was not on the riders agenda, so he does have low milage jumping, however, he loves it! He is jumping around courses of 80/90cm with ease and scope. He is not phased by fillers and water trays. He has a fantastic technique and has the potential to be a serious horse for the future.

JJ hacks well alone and in company. and has seen farm traffic.


JJ is good to shoe, clip, catch, load travel etc. He is good to do on the ground and is very mannerly. He is a nice person in and out of the stable and always appreciates a treat. A genuine sort that is ready to pursue a good career.
