• 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.

Dressage Allrounder.
•15hd
•9yr (born 2016)
•German Warmblood
•Gelding

Bertie is a stunning red dun, compact 15hd gelding ideal for a small adult or competent teen.
Bertie has competed up to elementary in affiliated dressage, been to beach rides, fun rides and hacks out well alone and in company……all in a snaffle bridle. He has good lateral work and a change each way.
Bertie is a lovely up hill ride.. light in the contact with 3 very established, well balanced paces with a canter you can sit to for days.
Even though Bertie has all the attributes to make a top class dressage horse he thrives off a variety of work so we would love him to find a dressage allround home that can offer that.

His sire ‘FS Don’t Worry ‘ needs no introduction..one of the most prolific pony breeding stallions of all time.
Many of his offspring are graded stallions and top FEI ponies

His dam Dayrell Miss Honey a SPSS graded mare, competed up to medium level and placed at Regional finals.

Bertie has a great attitude to life, always ready to go and enjoys being ridden and having a job to do. He’s a character and loves people. Great to shoe and clip and isn’t fussed by much really. He’s been at the same home since a foal and it’s a very sad sale purely down to time.

For sale on behalf of a client.
