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.

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.
