Quality stamp, bay 2015 Irish gelding standing at 16.1hh, this gorgeous lad oozes presence and turns heads wherever he goes.

He’s a classy stamp, correct and a nice quality type. Beautiful Simba has three lovely paces on the flat, he moves light, beautifully and he’s extremely easy and straightforward.

Simba has four seasons hunting under his belt, he’s brave, bold and knows what he’s doing, he will take on the biggest of ditches, walls, hedges and rails, but will also sit quietly at the back if you’re looking to not get in amongst it.

Simba has done hunter trials and a few unaffiliated showjumping classes, he’s a super little horse and knows his job.

Simba will hack alone or with others in the heaviest of traffic, isn’t bothered at all by fast moving vehicles or machinery, extremely confidence giving out hacking and has his ears pricked the whole way.

He’s an easy lad on the ground, mannerly and very quiet, happy in or out, and easy to have in the yard. Open to any vet or trainer.

Paddy has been an excellent happy hacker for many years for his lovely owner whom due to arthritis has hung up her boots. We are told he has previously been in an Irish trekking centre and done some hunting.

We have taken him out to an arena hire this week he loads and travels perfect and was not phased by the arena mirrors or vibrant coloured poles. He is no showjumper but will have a go at a log out hacking or low level jumps. A very honest boy.

He is brilliant in open spaces alone and in company he is very easy to stop as he responds immediately to voice commands.

He has 3 lovely paces with a very rhythmic trot however due to mainly hacking needs encouraging into canter in the school especially on a circle (if you don’t kick he won’t go not necessarily a bad thing) he is improving with this daily the more he does and with some further schooling eduction would do a lovely dressage test.

On the ground he loves a fuss and a treat. A true best friend.

CUPPY - Beautiful substantial 2017 15.3hh black Irish mare who is one of the most sweet natured girls we have had for a long time, she has character, wants to be your friend and is exactly what a super cob should be!

She is a lovely leg in each corner type but yet she still moves in an athletic way. Not only does Cuppy have three nice paces on the flat, she has unreal amounts of scope over a fence for her type.

She’s been ridden by a teenage girl, she’s done most riding club / pony club activities and she jumps for fun. Cuppy is a leg on ride, she’s forgiving and easy. She’s done plenty of cross country and showjumping.

She has been ridden at various different venues, she is used to going out and about and she offers a fun, safe and enjoyable ride. She loves jumping, and she’s absolutely brilliant at it, she has flown round our scary jump for joy fences here.

Cuppy will hack alone and in company, great with the scary heavy stuff and she has been brilliant in open spaces, she’s cantered alone and in groups with us and has been super, she has been sensible with the livestock here and will tolerate the dogs etc in the yard, she’s a chilled out girl in the stable and easy to handle and have around.

Open to any vet or trainer.

• 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.

Classic 2015 Irish gelding standing at 15.2hh, Joey is fun, experienced and very much an easy, safe Allrounder.

He’s hunted, done hunter trials, showjumping and most riding club activities, he’s seen plenty and is easy to do.

He has three straight moving paces on the flat, rides off the voice or the leg and is more woah then go! However if you ask him he will go up the gears.

Joey is extremely bold jumping and doesn’t look at anything, he remains in a lovely rhythm however will jump whatever he’s put at effortlessly and very much gives his rider confidence, he’s no different over coloured fences or rustic and is keen to get it right.

He will hack on the buckle all day long, isn’t bothered by traffic, machinery or busy situations and is quite content going out alone as well as in company.

Joey is an easy, straightforward and uncomplicated chap, an ideal Allrounder / mother daughter share/ granny’s hack or ladies hunter.

I wish I could have a yard full like this! Proudly introducing ‘Hugo’ aka ‘Mr Grey’ - a well put together 17hh , 16yo, ID gelding
Perfectly sounds with no injuries etc and is open to inspection

Hugo is a playful character in the stable , he loves to be around you! Especially when mucking out, you turn around and he’s right there , like a giant speed bump wanting to be touched! He’s such a character , everyone on the yard loves him dearly. He’s very easy to do everything with. He stands to be clipped , bathed , shod etc. Loads and travels sweetly and is great to catch, live in or out and so forth - genuinely very easy to have on the yard!

Hugo loves to work in the school , he’s a leg in each corner type in the arena. Would go down the gears for a less able rider and back up through the gears for a rider who wants more from him. You can walk , trot, and canter him around on the buckle end , you can equally gather him up and ask for a decent piece of work from him. He is snaffle mouthed , responsive , and willing to work. He has a rocking horse motion canter , and three attractive and easy paces to ride through. I would say he would be a riding school candidate for sure

H loves to jump!! Takes you to a fence while remaining polite through his mannerisms. Pricks his ears and loves the job! Has show jumped to 1m10 unaffiliated with plenty of ribbons and clear rounds along the way, not to mention a whole lot of fun for his teenage owner. He is not at all put off by fillers and happy to take a complete miss , he’s a very honest boy who can get himself out of trouble. He will trot around some cross poles or competitively ride around a bigger class , he is quite versatile which is probably my favourite thing about him. Real forgiving type who just wants to please

Hugo has done loads of XC and loves it. Not phased by water, hedges, rustics, gates etc! Forward and keen in a committed way, always polite. He knows the job well and is again bold and brave and very straightforward. Again, he’s had plenty of ribbons at combined training / hunter trails / and cross country rallies

Hugo has done a few seasons hunting and loved it!! Great around the hands , sensible at the meet and loves the job.

Hacking is up there on his list of favourites!! He’s happy to go alone or in company and the perks of an older horse is there is nothing they haven’t seen! He’s very bold in traffic and has been giving the breakers a lead for me this week. My yard girls who are 13 and 15 have so much fun out hacking. He would be a real confidence giver in this sphere. Mannerly in open spaces , in front or behind , never strong or silly. Stands solidly at the mountain block

Also loves to go to the beach and a funride is his idea of heaven!!

Hugo has been owned by a friend of mine for her teenage daughter for the last few years where she has done absolutely everything with him and he really has shaped her into the fantastic rider she is today with all the confidence and experiences she has being at his credit. The decision to sort with him has been extremely heavy hearted and thought upon and great length. Unfortunately friend’s daughter is now at the age where she had just left school and wants to pursue her racing career dreams and therefore Hugo was going to waste. This sale is of absolutely no fault of his own. He comes with glowing references

As much of a saint as Hugo is , he has also been used to have a job and have a lot of fun on so I’d imagine he’d be too forward for a complete novice out of the arena but equally you don’t need to be any kind of super star to ride him!! Easy enough for a keen teen and would certainly be an elderly persons dream hacker and everything in between!!

This isn’t the type of horse you see on the market everyday , he will really be someone’s horse of a lifetime!! He loves to work and most importantly of all , he just wants you to love him, he’s such a people horse. Only the best of homes should enquire
