RDA Oakford is on the lookout for pre-loved tack to help support our incredible herd and riders!
We’re hoping for donations or affordable second hand items of the following:
Wintec Anatomical Girths (or similar items) – both long & short
Myler Bits / Ported Barrel Bits – Eggbutt or D Ring
Double Link Snaffles – Eggbutt or D Ring
Wintec Wide All-Purpose Saddles
If you have any of these items tucked away in your tack room, we'd be so grateful if you considered donating or selling them to us at a reasonable price. Every contribution helps us continue to provide the best care possible for our horses so they can feel their best when doing their amazing work.
Drop us a message or comment below if you’re able to help, and please feel free to share this post to spread the word!
Thank you for being part of the RDA Oakford community

A lovely calm morning.
Thanks to all the beautiful volunteers, our riders had a really great last ride for the term. Now holidays for a few weeks.
Even some horses got to go on a holiday in a paddock full of long green grass☘️

It was a bit of a cold, rainy day, but we still had lots of fun with our riders.
And a BIG thanks to the wonderful volunteers who came out despite the rain.

Our Misty girl had a very special outing today. She went to the Dental Vet clinic to get 3 fillings done. We are super thankful for the wonderful work Dr Kirsten does and who is so dedicated and caring to our horses. 💞🦄
