  • # we are still looking due to no fault of our own
  • Long term experienced, family home
  • 148cm and above but under 16hh
We are looking for a kind all rounder - To have fun with confident competent teenage daughter. Competing sj, xc, arena eventing, ode etc

And to enjoy hacking with experienced mum escorting out the kids and hacking through the quiet countryside, moors and woods. As well as the odd riding club activity, lesson or clinic.

Would love something with a fairly honest jump and that isn’t too sharp. Can be younger if level headed attitude or older maybe needing a step down. It will be a varied fun life.

Must be good in traffic although our lanes are quiet we do meet the odd tractor. We have a trailer so must be happy to travel in one.

In return we can offer a loving , experienced home at our own indoor stables with lots of turnout, with just our other horses. We have great riding and are just down from Dartmoor. Our horses want for nothing and we are happy to meet any extra needs. We find it hard to sell on so we hope the right horse will stay with us forever.

South west based but will travel a few hours to view. Will wait for the right one if you’re not ready yet. References available if needed. Decent budget. Please phone, message or WhatsApp

BEEN THERE AND DONE IT TYPE


Ref #: 369483
  • A great all rounder but excels at hunting and BE
  • A horse that turns heads and is eye catching
£10,000
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 14 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • A great all rounder but excels at hunting and BE
  • A horse that turns heads and is eye catching

Fantastic Piebald gelding Irish bred he is 16.1hh.  He is a been there and done it type and nearly got every T-shirt.  Very easy to do and gentle to handle. 

A great all rounder but excels at hunting and BE.   14 yrs old.  A horse that turns heads and is eye catching.  

I have owned him for nearly 3 years and with me he has done common rides often out with 100-200 horses behaving himself all the time.  He has attended our local riding club which has consisted of show jumping and flatwork always behaving impeccably.  

I have hunted him for the past 2 seasons and he has also been hunted by other members of my family.  He enjoys being out Trail Hunting and his good manners stand out making him a pleasure to ride.   He is extremely good around hounds and very trustworthy, he goes up front with hounds or stays at the back of the field and will open and shut gates and is easy to lead off or lead.

I have started doing BE on him and was placed 4th in first BE two weeks ago and he is entered for more BE’s in the next few weeks.  I feel he will be a great confidence giver to someone starting out in BE and wishing to progress.   He jumps xc and sj with ease and looks after his rider and helps them out if needed. 

He will school in a nice outline with good paces and could do a decent dressage test.  He tries his best at everything he does and enjoys a good pamper and being used. 

He is good on his own or in company both out hunting and hacking.  He will live, travel and hack on his own but equally happy and mannerly in company.  He has a bold jump and will trot into to a fence when needed.   

He is open to any viewing and any vetting but he will only be sold to the right home as he is a very special horse.

Location is 1 hour from Edinburgh airport. 

He is competing at Penrith BE this coming Sunday 20th April.

Handsome 16.2, 14 year old Stallion (although you wouldn’t know it!)
We have never owned a stallion and were going to have him gelded when we bought him but soon found out there was absolutely no need!

Belharra (Lusitano x TB) was bought for our then 16 year old daughter to give her confidence out competing, as she was really struggling with her nerves.
They have just attended their first championship, finishing 3rd by just 0.8% from the winner!
He has done his job too well, always looking after her, and she now has the confidence to compete her youngsters so he will be looking for his new loving home.

He is good to do in every possible way, and has very flamboyant changes!
Fab to hack alone and in company.
Good to shoe, clip, load, travel and is up to date with chiro, physio, vaccs and teeth.
Does not stress if left in or out.

Trained up to Advance Medium and is the perfect schoolmaster or para dressage mount.
Minimal points as he travelled Europe as a companion…with mares too!

Bought from his breeder so has had an uncomplicated perfect life!

Homes will be scrupulously vetted.
He is a very special boy and will only be sold to the right home.
Phone calls preferred


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.

Versatile, willing and well mannered mare looking for her forever home


Ref #: 370184
£8,500
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 12 years
  • 16.1 hands

Aryia is everything you could want in a horse: vice free, pretty, talented, easy to handle/load/clip, good doer, low maintenance will live in, out and most importantly sound!

She is perfect for someone looking to:
Enjoy hacking - loads of hacking she loves it, always has her ears pricked and marches along or happy dawdling on the buckle. Great with traffic, great nanny to young horses or kids on ponies, good in open spaces, alone or in company.

Flat work and dressage - she’s training at elementary level at home, established lateral work incl shoulder in and leg yield, light in the mouth and holds a lovely consistent contact. Forward going but not strong.

Pole work and low level jumping -
She loves having things to think about and is great with pole work. She is not currently jumping and is not an easy ride to a fence - very forward and buzzy with a huge back end so would need a very competent rider to pure show jump again.

She is currently being ridden full time by a 15yo and her mother doing all of the above and she’s been great stepping down to a younger rider. Would be a great mother daughter share. Not suitable for a total novice as she is a competition horse with a bit about her (in a good way!).

Only for sale due to personal circumstances. All history known from 4yo and her old owners still keep in touch, she is very loved.

The ultimate confidence giving school master - meet Ernie

A beautiful 16.2hh, 15yo, ISH gelding - Fantastic breeding

Ernie has a superb eventing CV and knows his job inside and out

Hacks alone and in company with no issues or vices. Really bold , brave and reliable in traffic and open spaces. He could take a first timer out no problem.

A real schoolmaster in the arena! Three beautifully balanced and correct paces. Always snaffle mouthed and more of a leg in each corner type. Has well established changes installed and great success inside the white boards. Currently giving lessons to my yard girls and adored by all who sit on him

Jumps effortlessly. Skips should 1m10s with his eyes shut. Really is a a super forgiving boy and is more than happy to take a miss. A very careful chap who knows the job and will always get the rider out of trouble. Super rideable to a fence and easy to navigate around a course. The type that could take someone from trotting poles to jumping metre classes. He’s a real teacher who loves to please

Enjoys XC and fun rides! Remains his uber mannerly self in open spaces

Stands solidly at the mountain block

Excellent to shoe, bath , clip, catch, load & travel

Ernie is miserable in the stable and very possessive over his food. I believe this would be down to his lack of weight and condition when we first had him last year. Can also be seen to windsuck at feed times (really manageable with a collar and shouldn’t put anyone off) We’ve spent the winter very slowly but surely getting weight back on him and is now feeling and looking brand new

Clean legs and very sounds and straight moving

Although Ernie is push button , he is also a horse with an engine and therefore I would say is a competitive school master and would suit someone wanting a competitive horse but on a budget

Kanga has been a pleasure to open from past 4 years.

She is very flashy on the flat and would make a super dressage horse, in addition to a low level eventer or team chaser.

She is most conformable showjumping at 1m and adores cross country at all heights. Due to this and my relocation to London soon, I feel it is best for us both to find her a new loving home.

Doug is a full up 16.3h 17 years young kwpn gelding.

For sale on behalf of his owner

Doug (Douglas) is one in a million who has so much class, quality and experience to offer. He is a very well-bred kwpn by (Vegas), out of (Tallenger) (Furore x Hinault) with 5 generations of pedigree recorded. He is the perfect stamp of a horse, combining class and quality but still having a leg in each corner and a nice neck in front of you. He is a very desirable type who would suit a wide audience of riders from teenagers coming off ponies to adults and even the older rider would feel very safe on him. He has good conformation, clean limbs, is blemish free and straight movement. He is the full package to excel across all riding disciplines which makes him the perfect alrounder/ school master. He is a very solid confidence giver without being a plod. He also has experience in every discipline and really knows his job and loves to work so is a proven and will show his new rider the ropes. He has the most amazing temperament and attitude making him a yard favourite.

Doug schools nicely on the flat, he has a lovely relaxed way of going with super movement and elasticity. He has three very good paces; his walk is relaxed with a good over track and good swing through the shoulder and scores at least an 8 in dressage. His trot is athletic and smart with lots of natural cadence and his canter is uphill and very adjustable. He naturally has a high head carriage which makes slightly more novice riders feel safe as they have something in front of them but he works into a lovely outline if you ask him to. He is ridden in a snaffle for every discipline with a lovely mouth. He is a nice easy ride who is nicely forward going being a medium speed and responsive to the riders aids but not at all sharp. He is a very safe and sane ride who does give his rider confidence. He would be ideal for a competent novice upwards. He has been ridden by a range of different riders including a 15 year old girl and an older gentleman and he is very adaptable. He is schooling novice/elementary level at home and does a lovely walk to canter and leg yield. He has completed dressage tests as part of his eventing record but hasn’t done pure dressage as yet. He would very happily go out and do some preliminary and novice tests and hold his riders hand. We are not looking for a pure dressage home for Doug as he does prefer his jumping and hacking so would enjoy some dressage and schooling as part of a varied lifestyle.

Doug loves his jumping, he is a real point and aim jumping machine. He makes a nice scopey shape and is careful. He is nicely forward going into a fence and is very honest and genuine to jump, he never says no and never stops. He will help his rider out and still go on a miss, he really knows his job and wants to jump. He is very bold and jumps all fillers and water trays first attempt confidently. He will go on a short or long stride and help his rider out and fill his rider with confidence. He is very ridable around a course of fences and nicely balanced around tight turns and does flying changes where necessary. He has lots of experience to teach his rider the ropes whether they are stepping up from ponies, have had a long break from riding or learning to jump, hes a very genuine and honest boy. He has competed at BS up to 115cm in the past. He has plenty of scope to still jump that height. He would be a lot of fun at riding club level and unaffiliated sj and would be very much in the ribbons. He is currently giving my teenage friend a lot of fun and taking her from jumping 80cm on her welsh pony to 110cm courses.

Doug is equally as bold over xc jumps he absolutely loves it! He has plenty of pace to make the time at events. He jumps everything asked of him including ditches and water complexes. He is a very talented boy who has had a super foundation put in place with lots of experience to really know his job and take his rider round. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently. He really gives his rider confidence as he is very genuine and loves his jumping and doesn’t get strong or silly. He is very neat and quick through the air with scope to jump the higher more technical fences, has previously evented up to BE intermediate with a cracking xc record. He would be very ideal to give a rider experience around BE90/100 now. He has had a few quieter years as just a hack since his eventing days so would be more like a 14 year old in that respect.

Doug is lovely to hack both alone and in company. He is excellent in traffic and very confident in his own skin. He has been used to give less experienced horses a lead out hacking as he is as rock solid on the roads as they come. He is very sensible in open spaces and not at all sharp. He will go out for miles on his own and give his rider so much fun! He will also go out in a group where he is very mannerly but does prefer to be near the front. He has been a brilliant happy hacker/ fun horse for a mature gentleman. He would be very well suited to someone wanting to combine pleasure rides with riding club. He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays as he is very well behaved to ride at new places and just has so much fun to offer someone. He would definitely make someone a real quality safe Rolls Royce leisure/pleasure horse. It’s really difficult to find a horse as talented as Doug who also excels as a pleasure horse and makes his rider feel very safe! He would excel as a mother/daughter share in that respect.

Doug has a great temperament. He puts a smile on your face every day. He loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend. He is always good to catch and lead in. He loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. He is very easy to handle in all ways. He lives in and out and is happy be turned out next to or in with other horses. He is great to shoe, wash and clip. He loads perfectly and travels like a dream. He’s great to take out and rides the same in new places as he does at home. He really is such a genuine honest gent who deserves the best of homes.

This is a very sad sale of my clients horse. His owner is now 70 and has reached the end of his riding days due to having a bad back but wants the best for Doug and wants him to continue to still have a job as he loves his work. He is the ultimate alrounder that everyone is looking for. He can turn her hoof to any job and is very versatile. He would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies. He would also suit an adult wanting to go out and have fun together. He would also still be a fabulous event horse at the lower levels as he has so much experience to offer someone. He would also suit a happy hacking/ pleasure ride home as he loves his hacking too. More photos and videos available via WhatsApp.

Based in Ramsey Peterborough.

Please send me a message on WhatsApp or call Katherine on 07460820294. Doug would have been a £25k horse a few years ago in his prime and is now priced at £12,000 to reflect that he is 17 this year but he isn’t showing any signs of slowing down and has the been there done that experience that younger horses don’t have.

Very sad sale of Thomas, who is for sale through no fault of his own as I no longer have the space or time.

I brought Thomas to the UK from Ireland 14 years ago and he has been part of the family ever since.

He is 22 year old and is now ready for a slower life with hacking and low level schooling. He still has a lot of love and fun to give!

Thomas is a total gentleman. He loves being given attention on the yard and is totally bomb proof. He is very safe and hacks alone or in company and his temperament is always the same whether he is ridden daily or once a month. He has only ever been ridden in a snaffle and is never strong.

He is perfect to shoe, bath, travel etc. He lives in or out. When in the stable he is on the yard on his own is very happy.

Thomas and I have had 12 amazing seasons of eventing together and has truly been the horse of a lifetime.

£3,000 including tack and wardrobe. The right, loving home is the most important thing!

Beautiful 2011 Irish grey gelding (green book with fabulous breeding) standing at 16.3hh. Smokey is an experienced allrounder / schoolmaster and would make an excellent riding club / competition / family horse with his super attitude and willingness to please.

He’s done a bit of everything, including hunting and never says no to anything, a genuine horse with a lot to give. Smokey is a kind chap on the ground, friendly and mannerly and super easy to have in the yard.

He has three lovely rideable and adjustable paces on the flat and is snaffle mouthed. He will jump off any stride and is forgiving to a fence, doesn’t mind if you get it wrong and has jumped plenty of rounds so offers an experienced ride, he’s as bold cross country as he is showjumping and is happy to show someone the ropes.

Smokey is a brilliant type, with no hang ups or vices, a safe and easy ride. Open to any vet or trainer 

Trial period available

  • Knowledgeable, 5* Home with Kind yet Competitive Teen Awaits
  • Ideally Established in Eventing & PC 90+ with an Honest, Kind Personality
  • Nothing Young & Green. Preferably Older Schoolmaster Types.

Our daughter has been riding and owned ponies since she was little. She is incredibly kind, hard working and dedicated not only to her equestrian partners but with everything she tackles.

She has had a tough 18 months with her current partner which has seen her carrying out continuous rehab only to be told that he now has to retire at the young age of 7.

During his period of injury, he demonstrated explosive behaviours, in which Sophie has endured many frightening episodes, which understandably so, have left her still very passionate about riding but very nervous.

She has been competing at PC80/90 level and we are seeking a kind, gentle, schoolmaster type for Sophie to go back out and enjoy a varied life of hacking with friends, attending pony club rallies and camps and competing at 90+ with her peers in eventing and tetrathlon.

Must be good on the ground, with farrier, vet etc. Good to load, travel and stay away.

Our home can offer small yet 5* livery facilities, near Nairn in the Highlands, Scotland. We’ve large, well maintained paddocks, flood lit school, direct access to lovely hacking and an incredibly professional support structure of vets, farriers, saddle fitters and physios as well as regular coaching.

References available and also must be able to provide references.

Must be open to vetting and any health issues disclosed.

Ideally located for viewings in Scotland or North East/West England.
