Ben Quest RDA Horse riding for the disabled ponies

Ben

In 2014, Quest were very lucky to be awarded a Postcode Lottery Grant from RDA National, which enabled us to buy Ben, a 13.3hh New Forest Gelding. Ben is a definite favourite with lots of the children and absolutely loves any attention!

Diablo Quest RDA Horse riding for the disabled ponies

Diablo

Diablo is a 13hh Fell pony and was purchased following the success of our Masquerade Ball in 2016. We are delighted to have him on our team and he is very well suited to the job! He is a great size for some of our smaller riders and ones that need support from two side walkers. Diablo loves getting cuddles from our riders and volunteers, especially those who have polo mints in their pockets!

Hollie

Hollie joined the Quest team in June 2022. She is a 12.2hh Cob who is 6 years old. Hollie is the smallest of the Quest team and so will be very useful for our younger riders.

Lily full body edited

Lily

Lily is a beautiful 14.2hh, six-year-old piebald cob mare who joined Quest RDA in May 2026. Lily has a wonderful temperament and has settled into her new life at Quest incredibly quickly. She has taken to RDA work brilliantly and is already a huge favourite with both our participants and volunteers. We are delighted with how well she has adapted and are very excited about Lily’s future with Quest and all the people she will help and support through her work.

Lily was very generously purchased for Quest by our wonderful volunteer, Debbie Clark, in memory of her late Mum. We are incredibly grateful to Debbie for this very special gift.

Long Service Awards

On 16th July 2015, HRH The Princess Royal presented Long Service Medals to our ponies Bassett, *Hunky and *Jake during her visit to Quest RDA. The visit was in celebration of Quest’s “Ruby” anniversary, but also of the group’s current achievements and of a golden future ahead.

*Sadly, since this article was published on our website, both Hunky and Jake have passed away, but we remember them with great fondness. They both reached a good age and enjoyed a period of retirement after their work with Quest.
