• Bargain for someone looking on a budget

Roxy would be a super project type for someone on a budget. She’s very bold, not a spooky mare with Nice paces on the flat & goes in a nice outline with a super jump.

She’s great to hack and in traffic. Snaffle mouthed for everything, she has a soft mouth. Good in open spaces, up the gallops etc.

Roxy has done a few seasons drag hunting with petitie girls, proving super brave jumping anything pointed at.

Please note she can be a bit mareish, although there’s no malice in her. She would suit someone confident who could work through this and wants something nice to bring on and jump.

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.

He is currently jumping courses of 80/90cm, he'll jump off any stride and is happy to help you out if you get it wrong. He has done some cross country and he is brave and honest.

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

Stunning 16hh, 9yo, ISH mare - No lumps / bumps / or blemishes

5 stage vetting passed earlier this year

Meet ‘Orla’ - kind as can be in all ways! So easy to do in and out of the stable. Just been to a four day stay away show where she was exceptional, by fair the easiest to do

Turns out with mare or geldings, loads and travels well, stands for farrier , easy to deal with in a day to day basis

Sweet on the flat, real easy and leg in each corner type, ride around with no hands , etc! Would totally take a novice!

Just been to the cricklands winter league finals where she placed every single day in a very big and fast class with some superb turns. However , as well as being competitive , she’d totally trot around over cross poles and be very easy

Orla has been XC schooling, hunted and funrides

Hacks out superb in traffic, alone or in company, and super in open spaces

From my own assessments of her I’d say she’s a fantastic mare who’s anyone’s ride!! HOWEVER , after getting in contact with a previous owner it’s come to light that Orla can get some separation anxiety and in term develop a nappy streak where she has been known to rear. I personally haven’t seen this side of her and not sure I’ll believe it till I see it! I’ve also been in this job long enough to know that horses are very clever and they know when there’s an opportunity and when there isn’t. So for that reason I will only sell her to someone who’s very confident and competent who takes no messing and has a job for the mare. To the right person you won’t hear a peep out of her , just like myself. Please don’t be offended if I won’t sell her to you , it’s clear the mare needs a job and routine to get the best out of her like we see here day in , day out.

16.3 Approx 2018 Chestnut Gelding (Dam - Tubbertelly Star. Sire - TubberTelly Ace Grandsire Crown Ace of Pearls)

Jack is an absolute pleasure he is great to be around! He is like a giant lap dog.

He has been with us this winter and has been carefully produced ready to find his home this spring! 

He has moves to die for if you’re looking for something that looks like a farrari but rides like a cob he is your man! He has a laid back easy going attitude to life.

Big impressive movement, he got great dressage scores his first time in boards he was perfectly behaved and is sure to exceed in this area! Flashy enough to show as well.

He is snaffle mouthed leg on ride not sharp or spooky ! 

He has had same owner from a 2year old when coming over from Ireland so hasn’t wanted for nothing but alittle low mileage for age, but it has done him no harm to grow and develop. 

Hacks well great to canter out in open spaces doesn’t get spicy.

We have taken him dress down dressage Show jump schooling arena event schooling. His unphased by fillers and the miles his putting on the clock the more he lets go of his jump! He really jumps on the loose and definitely isn’t going to lack in scope when he gets going. Would also pootle round lower classes happily.

We have shown him the world in as many ways as possible to set him up for future.

Up to date with everything. 

Barefoot currently had no issues. 

May get some fronts on him soon so we’ve also ticked that box.
