Brave • Honest • Kind • Safe & Sensible
Bobby is a stunning, registered 6 year old dun Connemara gelding who has very sadly come onto the market only because my daughter has outgrown him.
This is a genuinely heart breaking sale of a very special pony who has become a firm yard favourite.
Bobby was imported by us from Ireland in March, where he was beautifully started and produced. Whilst in Ireland he qualified for and competed at the prestigious Royal Ulster Agricultural Society Balmoral Show in the Working Hunter class, jumping clear.
Since coming to us, he has continued to develop into a wonderfully genuine and versatile all-rounder and is currently competing confidently at 80/90cm, with plenty of scope and potential to progress further.
🏆 COMPETITION & JUMPING
Bobby is a bold, careful and genuine jumper who approaches his fences with confidence and a willing attitude.
He happily jumps:
Show jumps
Rustic fences
Water
Ditches
Steps
Logs
Cross-country fences
He is competing comfortably at 80/90cm and we feel he has the ability and attitude to continue progressing with the right rider.
He does not become sharp or silly when jumping and is straightforward to ride. He genuinely enjoys having a job and thrives on variety.
🌿 THE ULTIMATE ALL ROUNDER
Bobby has enjoyed a huge variety of activities with us, including:
Show jumping • Cross country • Hacking • Beach rides • Fun rides • Schooling • Pony Club-style activities
He hacks happily alone or in company, will go in front or behind and is sensible in open spaces and around traffic.
He enjoys exploring and seeing new things and is equally happy working in the school or heading out for an adventure.
We would particularly like his next home to continue giving him this variety, as this is where he really thrives.
❤️ TEMPERAMENT
One of Bobby's greatest attributes is his temperament.
He is an exceptionally kind, affectionate and people orientated pony who loves attention. He has a lovely attitude towards his work and is a pleasure to have around.
He is handled daily by my teenage daughter and has been a wonderful pony for her to learn and progress with.
He is brave without being sharp, sensible without being dull and has a lovely willingness to please.
He is very much a yard favourite.

⭐ HIS NEXT HOME
Bobby would suit a competent child, small teenager or adult rider looking for a quality Connemara to enjoy a huge variety of activities with.
He has the temperament to be a much loved family pony, whilst also having the ability and potential to progress competitively.
We are particularly looking for a home where he will continue to have a varied and interesting life, rather than being purely a jumping pony. He loves hacking, exploring and experiencing new things just as much as he enjoys jumping.
We genuinely feel that Bobby is only just beginning to show what he is capable of.
This is a very reluctant sale and we are in no rush to find him a new home. Finding the right home is far more important to us than a quick sale.
⭐ Five-star home absolutely essential. Homes will be vetted. ⭐
