HORSES AND PONIES
With no ponies and horses there would be no South Bucks RDA Group.
Our horses and ponies are all very different shapes and sizes, and come in all colours (including ones which seem to be grass-stained and muddy, no matter how often they’re groomed and bathed). However, from our smallest ponies to our international standard dressage horses, they all share something special…
…the willingness to work with riders of all abilities.
Our ponies and horses are our key assets – as well as being much-loved friends.
