14.1hh Flea-Bitten Grey Gelding

Alex can be a grumpy old man - unless you are offering carrots!  He is a well educated man who has a following of devoted riders, none more-so than Jane!

16hh Bay Mare

Born at Capricorn in 2015, Chips has become a very reliable member of the RDA Capricorn team. More often used for independant riders, she loves riders with a gentle touch.

Duchess started her RDA life as Julie's personal ride - can you see where the attitude comes from now?

Brumby X

Born in 2000

14hh Paint/Piebald Gelding

Flash is a firm favourite - both with riders and the mares!  He has proven to be the perfect RDA steed in every way.

Gypsy Cob

 Born in 2017

14.2hh Bay Tobiano Gelding

Jimi has become a very popular man in the arena over the last couple of years.

While he still enjoys escaping and stealing food from the feedshed and mowing the grass around Julie's house, he has really started to earn his keep!

Beautiful Paint/Piebald Filly

Marble was born at Capricorn on 9 October 2019 and has had us all swooning over her ever since.  Such a sweet girl, she has become everyone's favourite!

Clydesdale

Born in 2001

16.2hh Bay Roan Mare

Missy is the matriarch of our Clydie herd and takes her leadership role very seriously.  The ultimate gentle giant, she had a rough year in 2019 with some major health issues, but she's overcome them and is back on top of her game, like the star she is!

Clydesdale

Born in 2006

16.2hh Bay Gelding

Monty is the true "heavy lifter" on the team - a big man who certainly knows his strength.  There's no bargaining with Monty when grass is on offer... he'll take a few mouthfuls before he's willing to listen.

16.1hh Bay Gelding

Mr Wilson is the true gentle giant with the kindest disposition whose idea of rebelling is to stop.  Who couldn't love this man to bits.

Shetland X Clydesdale

14.2hh Brown Gelding

Paddy has the trot of a pony, with the attitude of a gentle giant.  He tends to be a bit lazy, but is one of the hardest workers we have.

Andalusian X Thoroughbred

Born in 2007

15.3hh Black/Brown Mare

Poppy was born with regal tendancies and still considers herself the princess of the paddock (beside her best mate Duchess).  With great patience (and a wide back and belly) she is great with our beginner adult riders.

Quarter Horse

Born in 2010

14.2hh Palomino

Reno arrived at RDA late in 2020.  He has taken a while to settle in, but with Ella's love, he has really found his place at Capricorn and is a firm favourite for both his Palomino colouring, and his gentle nature.

(We are still trying to get his photo on a good Reno day!)

Connemara X

Born in 2001

13.1hh Flea-Bitten Grey Mare

Sijo was donated to RDA Capricorn by Soroptomist International Joondalup Order - hence her unique name.  Mum to Splash and Salsa, she is also the most popular pony to dress up for pony rides.

Bay

Standardbred

Sheriff is a very recent arrival to Capricorn, but is a seriously cool dude!  You should see him in lessons really soon!

Quarter Horse X Connemara 

Born in 2009

14hh Chestnut/Grey Paint Mare

Born on the property, Splash was destined to be a great RDA pony.  We just didn't realise how great she would be at the job.  And while a little bigger than her mum, she is a great size for our riders.

Standardbred

Born in 2000

15.2hh Black/Brown Gelding

Vance had a successful career as a professional pacer before retiring to his life at RDA Capricorn.  Being one of our old timers, he is a steady influence in the paddock and, while sometimes with a grumpy face, a true stalwart in our lessons.

Fresian X Quarter Horse

Born in 1997

14.3hh Black Mare

Variety came to us with her foal Liberty, who has gone to her permanent home with Coach Abbi.  Since that time, she has proven to be invaluable in the lessons, with her riders becoming huge fans.
