Very smart 15.3hh chestnut gelding 8 years old reg SHB (GB) excellent breeding by the excellent coloured WB stallion Amour.

We have had Vippy for 3 years and have brought him on slowly and sympathetically. He has been a mother daughter share between myself (Mum) and my now 15 years old daughter. During that time we have both enjoyed hacking him across fields, bridleways, through rivers which he loves doing.

An ideal would be a young adult as he takes confidence from his rider.to produce him to his full potential Or even a happy hack as this is his happy place .

He is schooled by a professional rider weekly and his price will increase the more work that is done with him.

My daughter loves her dressage so this is what we have focused on with him and he has done weekly
dressage lesson with our trainer.

My daughter has competed him at a number of unaffiliated dressage competitions/venures and he obtained mid 60 scores. He has super movement and lots of potential to progress with his Dressage and go affiliated.

He has done a bit of low level jumping with us but jumping isn our thing so we havent focused on it , with the right person he could over time do this .

He is good to clip, shoe, stable etc and turns out with others in a mixed herd.

This is a sad sale for us but our daughter is off to college soon and decided she will not have the time to take him with her sadly.

He is up to date with back, teeth, vaccinations, worming etc.

He is completely sound and healthy no previous injury’s.

I would also be willing to do a swap for a school master for myself.

Looking for a super home who will realise this stunning horses full potential with a competent rider.

  • 16 years

  • Striking
  • Quality
  • Expressive paces

16.3hh grey Sport Horse gelding with a kind, genuine nature and lovely, expressive paces. He’s an athletic, smart horse with a balanced way of going and would suit someone wanting a nice horse to enjoy schooling, hacking and general all-round riding.

He has previously done some showjumping and is straightforward to ride in the school.

He’s forward going but sensible, never bucked, reared or done anything nasty, and always tries to please.
He’s happiest with routine and regular work and responds well to a calm, straightforward ride.

He hacks out and is settled and relaxed in familiar places.
He prefers hacking out in company and is comfortable in any position within the group.

On the ground he’s easy to do in all ways and a pleasure to have around.
He can be turned out on his own (with other horses nearby) or with company and is currently turned out with another gelding.

He’s good to clip, good for the farrier and is shod in front only.
Loading hasn’t been needed during my ownership but there are no known issues.

He’s well liked on the yard and is ridden by different riders.
He’s been kind and genuine throughout my ownership and will be missed.

He was recently vetted, which noted a small tail melanoma, an old superficial scar to the left fore and slight thickening of the inferior check ligament. These were all found to be cold, non-painful and of no clinical significance, and the vet confirmed they don’t affect his suitability for hacking or pleasure riding.
He’s remained sound with no skin issues.

This is a genuine sale due to a change in my circumstances.
I bought him without viewing or trying first and, while he’s been nothing but kind and willing, I’ve realised I’d prefer something a little quieter.

He’d suit a competent rider looking for a nice, straightforward horse to enjoy regular riding, schooling and hacking.

Kahlua (Lu) is a very sweet and cuddly mare.
Out of Philanderer II who evented to 5*, grand sire Jumbo.

Would probably suit a home doing low level competing, pony/riding club, or happy hacker

- Hacks alone and in company (prefers to be behind with another horse but will lead with a persistent/strong rider)
- Bold to hack, perfect with traffic etc
- Well behaved on the gallops and open spaces
- Snaffle mouthed for everything
- Good to shoe with patience, clip, tack up, groom, load, physio, and for vets
- Can be fiddly to stud up - needs someone to hold while one studs as she isn’t to stand still and wait about

She has been through a phase of not loading however has been loading consistently for the past year.

She has pads on her front feet as a previous farrier had crushed her heels. She is now nearly back to normal purely due to farrier work and I have been told taking them off could be in the near future with her.

I bought her as a rising 5 y/o with the intent to event her. Unfortunately we soon discovered some issues with her - in 2021/22 we investigated and found OCD in her right stifle which has now been sorted via key-hole surgery. She has had both stifles previously injected just after surgery during her rehab process in 2022/23 and we (me and my vet) haven’t deemed another injection necessary.

We took rehab very slowly with Lu as she can get overwhelmed. Not a novice ride as can put in a good bronk/buck on occasion (no malice). When I bought her she had just been backed so overall she’s been brought on slowly and low mileage. Dressage at prelim consistently scoring 65-70%. She has had a lot of cross country training however haven’t had the opportunity to get out competing properly due to last summers ground situation and I am precious about her legs! She has done two clear round style competitions cross country and was good as gold (placing in her first one) and a few combined trainings where we have placed.

Still finds her canter work on the flat a bit more difficult but constantly improving - scores 6/7 in her dressage.

Only selling as I am currently at uni and unfortunately have found I don’t have the time and energy she deserves.

Plenty of videos and pictures are available on request

Price could be negotiable for the right home

Reserve Champion – 2025 Sligo County Show

Quinn is a rising 5-year-old, 15hh purebred Connemara gelding who stands out immediately for his quality, presence, and exceptional temperament. He is a true model of the breed—a beautiful, well-made pony with good bone, excellent shoulder and hind end, and three balanced, rhythmical paces that make him eye-catching in any arena. His traditional Connemara head, with a bright, intelligent, kind eye, completes the picture.

Show Record & Potential

Quinn is already proving himself in the ring. He was Reserve Champion at this year’s Sligo County Show, showing his correctness, way of going, and natural quality against strong competition. He is the type judges notice—clean, elegant, and well-schooled for his age without being overproduced.

He is an excellent candidate for ridden Connemara classes, performance classes, dressage, working hunter, and eventing. With his paces and temperament, he has the scope to continue progressing quickly.

Never strong or silly
Always keen, ears forward, and ready to work

He is the ideal mix of fun and safe—a pony you can trust but still enjoy.

Jumping & Cross Country

Quinn loves his jumping.

Loose jumps over 1.20m effortlessly
Brave, careful, and naturally athletic
Bold and honest across country
Takes everything in his stride—ditches, drops, water, banks and combinations
He has the qualities to excel in eventing, hunter trials, pony club, jumping leagues, and he would also make a superb hunter, as he’s straightforward, balanced, and not phased by new places or fences.

Hacking & Everyday Riding

Quinn is excellent to hack out:

Alone or in company
Good in traffic
Sensible in open fields and new environments
Happy to pop drains, logs, or simply stroll home on a loose rein
He is the same ride after a day off and does not need to be worked down—he has a naturally calm, willing attitude.

Who He Suits

Quinn would suit:

A confident teenager looking for a competitive, fun partner
A mother–daughter share
A rider wanting to produce a talented young horse with incredible potential
Someone wanting a safe but forward-thinking pony with a great work ethic
He is a genuine all-rounder with the quality and brain to excel in any direction.

Breeding

Quinn is beautifully bred, from some of Ireland’s best and most proven Connemara lines:

Sire: Lough Melvin Gorteen
Dam lines: Western Boy × Aran Flight
He carries the traditional Connemara traits—intelligence, courage, athleticism, and a kind, cooperative nature.

Manners & Handling

Quinn is a pleasure in every way:

No stable vices

Prince, a rising five-year-old purebred Connemara gelding who is turning heads wherever he goes. Standing at 15hh and still growing, this striking young gelding truly embodies the quality and character that the Connemara breed is so well known for. With his beautiful conformation, kind eye, and gentle temperament, Prince is not only a joy to look at but also a pleasure to have around the yard.

Prince is exceptionally well bred, by Cornfield Prince out of a mare by Johns Pride, with Matchmakers Lad further back in his pedigree. His breeding shines through in both his ability and temperament. From day one, he has shown himself to be incredibly versatile, smart, and eager to please. Whatever you ask of him, he gives it his all with a willing and honest attitude.

Under saddle, Prince is a delight. He is straightforward, kind, and easy to ride, making him ideal for a variety of riders. He moves beautifully with three balanced, expressive paces and a naturally uphill way of going. Over fences, he is brave and careful, having already jumped confidently up to 1m at home. He loves his jumping and equally enjoys cross country, taking every fence and question in his stride without hesitation or fuss. Whether it’s show jumping, eventing, or just fun days out, Prince approaches everything with enthusiasm and a calm, level head.

Prince is the sort of pony who will suit a wide range of riders and situations. He would be an ideal choice for someone looking to move up from smaller ponies, a fantastic mother–daughter share, a valuable addition to a riding school, or a talented partner for a more competitive home. His temperament and talent mean he can truly turn his hoof to anything — from hacking and fun rides to dressage and jumping.

In the yard, Prince is a gentleman. He is easy to shoe, box, catch, and handle in every way. He hacks out both alone and in company and is excellent in traffic. He has no stable vices and is a lovely companion to other horses. Prince has a bright future ahead of him and is ready now to find a loving home where he can continue to shine.

He is open to any vetting, and for extra peace of mind, transport to your yard anywhere in the UK is included, with an exchange offered if you’re not completely happy. Horses of this quality and temperament are hard to find — Prince is a real all-round superstar with the looks, breeding, and attitude to go far in any discipline.

To see Prince in action, please scroll down to watch his video. For more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch — call me anytime on 00353 86 8077626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com.

Prince is truly one in a million, and he’s ready now to make someone very proud.

DO YOU HAVE A HORSE OR PONY SUITABLE FOR THE RDA?

WANTED ON LONG TERM LOAN / PURCHASE

Ref #: 249896
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below
  • If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below

One of the main issues that RDA groups face is finding an Equine to suit the needs of the participants in their group.

We are regularly contacted with offers of Equines that are ‘the ideal RDA horse or pony’ when actually what is ideal for one group may not be for the next. We are trying to move away from the stereotypical view that RDA Equines are elderly and somewhat static, our horses and ponies need to be fit, healthy and athletic to cope with the lifestyle in an RDA group.

They can range from smaller, forward going ponies to weight carrying cobs and can take part in a range of disciplines from Riding to Carriage Driving, Vaulting to Show Jumping and Endurance.

If you contact an RDA Group about your Equine please be prepared to fill in an Equine Initial Interest Form which will ask you many questions about your horses’ temperament, health history, experience and lifestyle. Many groups will prefer to have an equine on trial to make sure they are suitable for the job.

For long term loans and purchases they will also be required to have a Pre-Purchase Examination.

If you think your equine has what it takes, please contact one of the groups below.

Caoimhe is the easiest horse on the yard, loads herself onto our trailer, brilliant in traffic, easy to catch/shoe/clip etc.

Owned since a 3 year old, Caoimhe has done a bit of everything; unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, hunting, funrides, clinics, hunter trials, riding camps, beach rides, local working hunter classes; she is a true all rounder with a sensible brain and would make the ultimate mother/daughter share.

I take her out competing by myself and she’ll stand at or in the trailer with no fuss. Complimented every outing! Recorded breeding - green book.

Genuine reason for sale. I’d love her to go to a home where she’ll be fully enjoyed and benefit from a varied lifestyle!

Will be sold with her fitted Albion K2 saddle and made-to-measure bridle.

Will only go to the very best home - no rush to sell.
