    Meet Rhino! He joined the RDA team in March 2019. This brave Irish Cob was once used for hunting back in Ireland. As his name suggests, he has a strong and sturdy frame and is well-suited to carrying our heavier riders. However, beneath his thick neck and stocky appearance lies a very kind and curious horse who loves being around people. Rhino is a 14.2HH piebald (black and white) gelding born in 2013 and, despite still being young, is a quick learner and has settled very well into his role as a therapy horse.
