Meet the Horses


Timon

Timon

A big and sturdy 14.2hh pinto gelding with a multi-coloured tail. He used to be a showjumper and still loves to jump. Enjoys a good firm scratch along his neck and withers.

Eclipse

Eclipse

Gentle and patient. Beautiful and kind-natured. But she has a secret. At night, when no-one is looking, she will leap out of her paddock to go find some tastier grass to eat.

Teddy

Teddy is a 15hh bay Kaimanawa gelding. He is part of the Pony Care Scheme and is being lovingly cared for by Mel.

Kizzy

Countess Kizzy is a 14.1hh, 10yr old, pinto, bush pony mare. She has leased to us by the Maher family of West Auckland. Kizzy is still looking for a horse sponsor to pay for her care.

Shorty

Shorty is a 14.1hh, 16 yr old, bay, station bred x quarter horse gelding. Shorty is part of our Pony Care Scheme and has a lovely young caregiver called Chloe. Shorty is also looking for a sponsor to help pay for his care.

Jip

This is Jip, a 13.2 hh, 10 year old English Riding Pony. We sincerely thank Jenna and Eva Hovelle from Ohakune for entrusting us their special pony. 

Bear

Bear is a 14.2hh rising 8yr old chestnut Kaimanawa gelding who was purchased a few weeks ago from Helensville. Bear will also be looking for a Sponsor to help cover his annual costs.

Ponies Wanted

Do you know of a horse that could join our RDA herd to make the ‘magic’ happen for our young riders with disabilities? We are looking to lease, buy or borrow. Find out more.

We are looking for another great pony to join our herd. 13hh to 15hh. Do you know a horse that might like RDA life? They get lots of attention, and the best of care!

If so, please contact us at horses@westaucklandrda.org.nz
