I have know him since birth and owned him until he was 7 I broke him in. He is a lovely chap lovely temperament and always willing to please.

We have hunted him he was good on the field stood at the meet good with the hounds and jumps everything. He has been around a course of fences nothing phases him like fillers or anything has 3 lovely paces . Currently being ridden by a 15yr old girl .

In his current home for the last 3 years he has been on a farm so used to all animals and machinery hacks out alone or in company first or last.

I think he would prefer a active home doing a bit of everything. He is low mileage for his age so would suit more a confident experience rider.

A lovely type for someone wanting a smart young cob to produce further.

Buster was brought over from Ireland from the breeder in 2025, he had been very well handled and had a brilliant start in life and to his education. Since been with us he has been broken to ride slowly taking everything in his stride. He is super chilled and sensible in every environment, used to a hectic yard with other horses feral children, dogs and farm machinery. He has beautiful manners on the ground stands tied anywhere, loads on a wagon or trailer travels on his own or with others very well. He was perfect to clip and shoe, had his teeth done in January and is wormed to date.

Buster is hacking out on his own well, not phased my traffic and confident on his own. He is used to road work and been in open fields absolutely no issue.

We have not asked him for anything in a school as we have slowly started him but Buster has 3 forward up hill balanced paces which are the basic platform for anyone to put their own stamp on. He has a natural head carriage and oozes quality and that look at me presence with a cheeky face. He is snaffle mouthed at all times carries himself beautifully and correctly.

Buster moves straight from the shoulder very correct and flicks a toe, he floats across the ground effortlessly, has the potential for a top quality working hunter or event prospect with his bold inquisitive attitude to life.

Buster has been on group pleasure rides taking everything in his stride from travelling there standing before we set of, was sensible in open spaces in the group environment and travelled home perfectly.

Buster is full of a cheeky loving personality and ready for someone to thoroughly enjoy this summer!

His Sire is a Top Quality Producing Connamara Stallion, Rosscorn Abbey Tomboy who is by Laekens Cascade Dawn, hence where his beautiful movement and temperament come from.

Telford is the perfect family horse/mother daughter share. An easy horse to keep, handle, ride, and generally be around, he doesn’t need much management in order to just be normal!

Telford is a comfortable horse to ride he would be very untiring to hunt all day or take on a pleasure ride.

He has good manners, stopping with a voice command if required, and will do canter laps of the school on the buckle when asked. He is not spooky, tricky or particularly difficult, he is not dead but certainly wouldn’t use a situation to take advantage.

Although Telford is young - rising 5 - and still learning, he is uncomplicated, anything he was uncertain about would be fixed with a kick from the rider.

Telford has really lovely free flowing paces working on the bridle beautifully and was very well behaved at his first dressage competition. He would make a lovely riding club allrounder who you could also let a little member of the family sit on for a bit of fun.

Telford is a good looking versatile horse who would suit a lot of jobs for a lot of riders.

Good in traffic clip catch box shoe dogs ducks children farm machinery hacks alone in company etc etc
