Tommy Shelby is a wonderful example of traditional connemara pony. He is a substantial, with plenty of bone and a leg in each corner. He has a beautiful head, clean limbs with a wonderful attitude and temperament to match! He is a much sought after over height and is a good physically Strong pony!
Tommy hacks alone or in company, he never naps and is as bomb proof as they come in traffic including Lorrie’s and motorbikes. He is well behaved in fields and doesn’t light up or buck.
He is working v well on the flat, he rides in a consistent outline and is v willing to learn. He is forward enough off the leg but is never hot or sharp spooky. Tommy Shelby has been to dressage tests and was v good with the boards and not at all phased with the warm up or going into the arena. He is an old head on young shoulders! He will be a fabulous riding club or BD dressage candidate with further production.
He has done 3 light days trail hunting. Just an hour out each time, behaved immaculately and then was happy to leave the field and hack home alone/do gates off him etc. He stood at the meet and happily around a cover.
Tommy Shelby has been schooling at arena hire and was foot perfect. He doesn’t stop, or spook, and will always try and give everything a go. He isn’t clingy to his friends at the lorry. It was extreme wind and there were fences falling down and fillers blowing over which he wasn’t phased by any of.
Tommy is learning his trade jumping! He is never bothered by fillers or spooky poles/wings/water trays/ditches. He is popping small courses and proving just the most genuine little horse ever! He goes straight into water and doesn’t ever think ‘no’. He is being carefully and considerately produced for his age and to not spoil his generous nature.
He has a fabulous book, all class 1 breeding including Moy Hazy Cove and Westside Mirah.
He is wonderful with children both on the ground and all over him! He is an absolute pet to deal with, a total pleasure to have around and an absolute true family pony, as well as oozing quality and presence!
He will suit a multitude of homes be it for performance to be produced for WH / dressage or to be someone’s best friend and horse of a lifetime.
He is only shod in front but only due to not needed hinds at this time. He is good to shoe, clip, load, travel, bath.
He has no vices or blemishes or health issues. Open to any vetting.
Lots of pics and videos on request.
