Panda is a 13 year old cob. He has been with us since 2016 and loves his job!
His favorite things to do are throw his feed bucket about, go on walks with our participants and snooze in the barn.
He gives great hugs and will always be the first to welcome new friends to the group.
Pie (known to some as Lillypie) arrived at Thornton Rose with Oshie back in 2013 when she was just 4 years old.
She has built a very loyal fanclub in her time with us!
She is a total dressage star an has taken many of our participants to regional dressage competitions.
Ollie is one of our newest team members.

Hi my name is Miss Rinca and I came from Ireland, I’m 22 years old and my full name is ‘Rinca angus ceoil’ which means dancing and music in Irish.
I’m a bay mare and I love a neck and chest scratch. I also enjoy my massages, stretches and tail pulls. I love tasties and treats especially carrots and horselyx mobility and granola lick it.
When I’m helping at RDA I love to spend time with our participants teaching them to ride. When I’m not in RDA I love seeing the countryside with my young volunteer riders hacking, cantering in the stubble fields and popping a wee jump. I also love going to my cozy bed and stable at bedtime.
Willow is the smallest of our pony team! She very kindly join us for our RDA sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Willow is a Shetland pony who enjoys being cuddled and pampered by our participants and volunteers. She is great at obsticle courses in the school but sometimes finds it hard to keep up with the bigger horses out on a walk!
