Valerie – Quality 4-Year-Old 14.1hh Purebred Connemara Mare, Honest & Talented

Meet Valerie, a stunning 4-year-old bay Connemara mare standing at 14.1hh, with all the traditional substance and quality you’d expect from a true Irish-bred pony. With a leg in each corner and a lovely, balanced frame, she is the ideal working hunter type – an excellent mover, straight and correct, and already riding in a soft, consistent outline. Valerie is the sort of pony that turns heads wherever she goes and impresses with both her ability and her temperament.

Valerie is suitable for a variety of riders – from a confident novice to someone looking to produce a top-class competition or working hunter pony. She would make a fantastic mother-daughter share, and she’s kind and uncomplicated enough for a riding school environment, yet talented and forward-thinking enough for a competitive home. She has a genuine nature, takes everything in her stride, and learns quickly.

Under saddle, Valerie is light in the hand, rides with a soft mouth, and naturally works into a lovely outline. She’s forward but always sensible, never strong or silly, and listens well to her rider. She’s well-schooled for her age, with excellent natural balance and rhythm, and she shows real promise for a future in the show ring or eventing world. Her paces are fluid and expressive, making her an ideal candidate for dressage or working hunter classes.
When it comes to jumping, Valerie is incredibly honest and brave. She’s currently jumping courses up to 90cm, showing excellent scope and technique. She has a brave, straightforward approach to fences and is especially keen across country – she loves it! Water, ditches, banks, and fillers are no problem for this little mare. She’s been cross country schooling and behaves like a much older, seasoned pony – brave, clever, and always looking to please.

Valerie is also a joy to hack, both alone and in company. She’s completely reliable in traffic, including farm machinery, and is happy in open spaces without getting silly. She’s easy to catch, shoe, load, and handle in every way.

She’s confident, settled in new places, and always keen to work – a mare who genuinely enjoys her job.

She comes straight from her breeder and is beautifully bred, with full Class 1 Connemara bloodlines. Her sire is Rocklawn Elvis, a proven son of the great Silver Shadow, one of the most sought-after performance Connemara stallions in Europe. Her dam’s side is equally strong, by Starsky, out of a mare by the respected Ganty Blazer – a bloodline known for producing athletic, talented ponies with the best Connemara temperament. With her breeding, conformation, and attitude, Valerie has all the ingredients to make a top-level working hunter, event pony, or all-round star.

Transport to the UK is included in the price, and we’re happy to offer an exchange if you’re not completely satisfied – although we doubt you’ll want to part with her once you meet her.

Valerie is a rare find – a true Connemara with talent, temperament, and traditional looks. She’s ready to shine in the right hands – don’t miss your chance to make her yours.

Billie-Jo is a fabulous pony with the most kind and wonderful temperament.

Billie-Jo is a 13.2 hand Cob pony, 12 years old who has spent the past year being ridden by a 13 year old rider and whom has been handled by an experienced riding instructor 5 days a week to keep up with her schooling.

Billie-Jo is ridden in a snaffle, has 3 consistent paces and carries herself in a lovely nature. She loves her jumping and will easily pop round a course. She has also taken part in some hunts in Ireland.

Billie-Jo enjoys going out hacking and is good in traffic. She is happy to go first or last in company as well as alone.

Billie-Jo is very chilled and laid back and easily adapts to busy environments. She adores being made a fuss of and will happily stand there and let you groom or tack her up.

Billie-Jo would make a cracking pony for a rider who is willing to spend time and to put their own stamp on her.

Billie-Jo is up to date with all her vaccinations, worming, teeth and physio. She is good to shoe and clip. Billie-Jo has been seen regularly by the saddler for refits when necessary and has never experienced any issues. She passed her 5 stage vetting with flying colours in October 2024.

This is a sad sale as unfortunately the owner has outgrown her too quickly. She is a perfect fit for a confident rider looking for a rewarding partnership. Billie-Jo deserves a 5 * home with someone who can give her the love and attention she deserves.

Billie-Jo will be sold with all her rugs and tack included in the price.

  • Dolly is an ideal first pony for children

 She is gentle, kind, and loves being fussed over by kids. Dolly stands patiently to be brushed and is always ready to make new friends.

**Experience:**

Pony Parties: Dolly has delighted many children at pony parties with her calm and friendly demeanor.

Pony Events: She has been a reliable participant in various pony events.

Family Pony: Dolly has been a cherished member of our family, bringing joy and smiles to everyone she meets.

Additional Information:

Off the Lead Rein: Dolly can go off the lead rein. She is safe with no nap, rear, or buck.

Confident Rider: While Dolly is well-behaved, she can be strong and forward, so she would need a confident, capable rider off lead. However this year whilst being mainly a field ornament she has happily had more wobbly novices walk, trot and canter round the 5 acre field with out feeling strong.

Jumping and Hunting: Dolly has hunted in the past and, when fit, can happily jump around 70-80 cm.

Price reflects need for quick hassle free sale.
