🌟Serious Top Competition Pony Prospect
I’ve been putting this off for a while, but i’m putting the feelers out for Larry to find his next home😓
Larry is a beautifully bred, quality Connemara gelding by Mirah Junior (Westside Mirah) out of Cashelhill Lady. He is a lovely stamp of the breed with correct conformation and a huge amount of ability to excel in any discipline. I have owned Larry since he was a rising 3 year old and have produced him entirely myself, so full history known.
Larry is a dream to ride with three balanced, quality paces. He learns incredibly quickly and genuinely wants to please his rider. Established in his basic lateral work, mediums, collection, walk to canter etc. Starting to learn his flying changes. His paces and way of going are regularly complimented by dressage and show judges. He is nicely off the leg without being sharp and will happily step up or down a gear depending on his rider. He can have weeks off and come back exactly the same. Been ridden by junior rider and was foot perfect. To jump he is naturally careful and athletic, jumps off any stride. Unfazed by fillers, ditches, steps etc. Hacks alone or in company and is 100% in the heaviest of traffic. He may have a look at the occasional silly thing, but always goes forward with a little encouragement from his rider. I regularly hack him for miles on my own without any issues.
This year has been his first full competition season, competing in showjumping, working hunter, one day events, hunter trials and dressage. Competed and won at 90cm showjumping and working hunter. Happily jumping 1m courses when training. Plenty of scope to progress further with more experience. He competed at the ESUK Championships at the end of July, placing in all 7 classes he entered. He was Champion in the M&M WHP and Reserve Champion in the WHP evening performance🥇🥈. Also, often winning and getting Champion to Resrve champion in local riding club shows. He would really hold his own at the bigger shows.
Came 3rd in his first ever ode leading the dressage on 27, double clear with some planned time faults xc. I really feel he could excel as a top event pony with more experience.
He is an absolute pleasure at competitions, easy to handle, settled in himself and happy to stand on the trailer. He is a talented, versatile pony who could excel across multiple disciplines and has all the talent to become a serious top level competition pony with more experience.
Larry is such a friendly pony who absolutely loves attention and wants to be your best friend. He is a genuine pleasure to have around, a real yard favourite. Good to catch, load, travel, dentist, farrier, currently barefoot with excellent feet. Can still be nervous to clip so does require sedation to be clipped. Up to date with vaccinations, farrier, physio and dentist. No previous injuries. Lives in or out, currently living out with 2 my two mares, gets along perfectly with other horses.
Larry has a bright future ahead of him and if he were two hands bigger, he wouldn’t be going anywhere. No novices please as he is still a young pony and needs a competent, sympathetic rider who can continue his education and get the best out of him. Home is much more important than price, and I am in no rush to sell, I will make sure the home is right for him. I am simply putting feelers out now due to moving yards and not having an arena for the winter. Plenty of videos available upon request.
