Billy Moon is by Billy Congo, out of an Irish mare. He is a stunning horse who always turns heads and makes you feel proud to be out with him. He is a dream to handle, catch, lead, travel, take to camps and stay aways, competitions and for the vet, farrier and physio. He loves beach rides, fun rides, long hacks in company and lives for a dressage competition.

Won Pony Club Novice Regional dressage, then placed 7th in the nationals 2025
Won Pony Club 80 regional dressage 2026 with a score of 75.4%

Billy is a large and powerful horse whose heart is pure gold but he can have his warmblood moments so is not for a novice or nervous rider. He needs someone strong and sure, who can hold his hand sometimes.
If Billy could speak, I think he would tell you he wants to go up the levels in dressage as he loves to show off. Beautiful floaty paces, balance and poise in abundance, established changes and lateral movements. Bred to jump but seems to be telling us he was born to dance. Billy has so much more to offer between the boards but dressage is not my daughter’s first love, hence not going above Novice.
He loves variety and so long as he has company, will hack for hours. Perfect in traffic, fine with heavy machinery and great in open spaces. He will not hack alone away from home, but box him up and take him out, and he'll hack alone no problem at all. He doesn't love gates, so we lead him through those.
No health issues, medical history, vices or special requirements. He does love his stable, so wouldn't suit living out 24/7. He has been out in the day or night while with us but never both. He likes his routine at home and is happy in a busy yard environment.
Up to date with everything, he has been immaculately and professionally cared for all his life. All previous owners contacted when we purchased him.
Billy is a very special horse who we feel honoured to have had in our lives for nearly two years. He is for sale due to my daughter facing into her GCSEs and moving into playing polo.
We are in no rush to sell Billy and will only see him go to the best of homes. Ideally dressage focussed as that’s what he loves best. We know he could continue to deliver win after win there. Would very much like to stay in touch and would consider lease to the right home.
Fully fitted Cavaletti Dressage saddle and bridle available by separate negotiation.
This is a heartbreaking sale of a very loved horse. Please no time wasters or joyriders.
