Prince - gorgeous Connemara with exceptional temperament


Ref #: 391250
  • He moves beautifully with three balanced, expressive paces
  • 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.
£9,500
  • Connemara
  • Grey
  • Gelding
  • 4 years
  • 15 hands
  • He moves beautifully with three balanced, expressive paces
  • 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.

Prince, a 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.

A Super little alrounder by Peters Brook

  • Competed unaffiliated dressage and showjumping
  • Good to hack alone and in company
£10,500
  • Irish Sports Horse
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 12 years
  • 15 hands
  • Has done a varity of pleasure rides, beach rides and riding club activities
  • Competed unaffiliated dressage and showjumping
  • Good to hack alone and in company

Ned is a compact little horse with a good amount of bone and lovely temperament. Ned is by Peters Brook a registered Irish Cob part bred out of a dam by Willie Joe, a unique mix of Irish blood that would make a nice show hunter/ working hunter pony type.

Ned has been an amateur’s horse for most of his life enjoying pleasure rides, hacks, beach rides and all the fun activities in between. He has also done a good few low level competions both showjumping and dressage.

In the school on the flat ned has started to progress nicely, due to the nature of his previous homes schooling has not been the top priority, now in a professional environment being schooled he has proven to pick things up quickly, works in an outline, has three nice paces. And would certainly excel as an event/working hunter horse.

Ned is happy to pop round a course of fences, he has a nice tidy jump and is not fazed by fillers etc. He is currently jumping 80/90cm with ability. He has also done a some cross country fences and loves the variety.

Ned hacks alone and in company, he has seen farm and village traffic and does not get hot up in open spaces. He would hunt as he is mannerly and very well behaved.

Ned is a lovely horse to be around, he is happy to live in or out, goes on the walker and is simply a very easy horse to deal with. He is good to load, clip, shoe, catch etc.

This is a sad sale with a genuine reason. We would love to see Ned in a home where he can continue having lots of fun and compete. For sale on behalf of a client.

Seeking my next perfect pony! Must haves between - 14.2h and 15.2h, between - 6 and 15 , although would change for the perfect one.

Massive stables roughly 4 times bigger than an average one ! videos an pictures can be provided

Lots of land to hack around.

My preferred breed is a chunky traditional Connemara just cause I love the breed so much my previous Connemara gave me so much but he is retired now , but would consider something else that fits the bill.

I previously had a bad accident with my last pony on the road with a tractor and my confidence is very low , it's very important that my next pony is very safe confidence giver. I am aware no horse is perfect but I don't want anything sharp or spooky and nothing that bolts , rears or bucks , strong etc
more woah than go

I would prefer no health issues but if it's something slight I will consider.
more must haves are good loading , good for farrier , dentist , for leading and for the vet.

I have had weekly dressage lessons for over a year and then monthly lessons with jumping the year before , spent a lot of time hacking ,before my accident. I have had horses for many years and was a competent rider until my accident where I lost confidence.

I am aware this is a lot to ask for but I know somewhere they must be one for me :) genuine 10 star home awaits thanks !

15.2hh 5yr Dun Connemara gelding by Gonzo.

N/N HWSD

Duncan will be a rewarding winter project for someone to start competing next year.

He has been taken out XC and SJ training.

Went on the gallops for the first time today.

Duncan was owned by a novice and this did nothing to build his confidence. We have worked quietly with him to now be more confident.

Really nice paces and BIG jump make him an exciting prospect.

Upto date with teeth, vaccinations, physio

Passed a 5 stage vetting this year

He will not be sold to a novice.

One in a Million Connemara, knows his job and loves his job! A real part of the family pony whose loved by everyone!

I’ve had the pleasure of owning Duke for 6 years and in that time he has taken me from jumping 90cm to 1m15 and 1m30 at home. Everyone who knows Duke knows how unbelievably special he is.

Duke does everything and anything from hunting to show jumping he has done it all! He has a record competing at 1m10/1m15, BS and unaffiliated. He absolutely loves his jumping, he is strong, quick and competitive . He would be the perfect 90cm/1m jumper for a young child/teenager to have some fun on. He would be great at teaching a young competitive child the ropes!

He really is part of the family and on the ground he can be handled by a toddler! Idea mother/daughter share as he loves beach rides, fun rides and long hacks. He is an absolute cross country machine and will jump everything and anything put in front of him. He is the bravest horse I’ve ever met with an absolute heart of gold. All good to clip, shoe, load etc, the usual.

This is the hardest thing I will ever have to do and homes will be vetted. I am of course open to any and every question regarding Duke as his new home is the most important thing to me.

He’s wasted potential at the moment and needs to be out having fun! I have loads more photos and videos on request.

  • Good temperment
  • Happy to hack
  • Good in traffic

We are a small RDA centre with a big heart looking for multiple types and sizes of horses from 13.2 – 16.3hh ride and/or drive. We are based South West London and hack out in one of London's royal parks.

Temperament is very important and must be good to handle by multiple people. We offer our horses a variety in their life, mostly involving hacking and fun days out. We don’t have an arena onsite so ability to hack is a must. We offer herd turnout, with work rotation so horses get a large amount of rest days.

Welfare and care are our upmost priority, 5* home waiting with lots of love and care.

Sadly re-available as too gentle to cope with over zealous Shetland pack leader!!

Holstein x BWB. First to view did buy this lovely chap, hoping for a repeat performance!

Exceptionally well bred & low mileage.

Sad sale as we simply love this horse but with ‘Taylor’s’ jockey on a gap year before uni, it’s time to find him his next loving home.

Well mannered & confidence giving, he’s perfect for someone looking to step up to horses or alternatively wanting to step down to something safer but still fun. He is light in the mouth & responsive to the aids.

Taylor has done a bit of everything between my son & daughter (18 & 14) over the last two years inc camps & eventing clinics at Somerford & Greenlands EC, PC & NSEA - qualifying for national champs with new 12yr old rider.

He loves XC (Badminton grassroots prospect).
Bred to jump (I’m told his half sister won European gold league) yet we’ve only asked up to 90cm of him out & up to 1m15 at home.
He’s even done some archery - my son’s favoured discipline.

100% barefoot, good with farrier, vet, clip etc.
Does not weave or wind suck & is a dream to load (box or trailer).
Is not spooky & has never been known to spin or bolt. Does not buck, rear, kick or bite.

He prefers company in the field and is equally content with mares or geldings.

He really is the best of horses to handle & hack out. Not a nasty bone in his body & never had a day off sick/ unsound. Full history known. No medical issues but will only go somewhere with access to adequate year round turnout. Likes a stable at night.

Pls call Natalya on 07880804719 if interested.

Rosie – Genuine, Fun, Experienced All-Rounder


Ref #: 399219
  • Perfect Mum & Child Share
  • Fabulous All-Rounder.
£4,500 ONO
  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 13 years
  • 15 hands
  • Perfect Mum & Child Share
  • Fabulous All-Rounder.

Approx. 14.3hh–15hh | 13yo Mare

Rosie is a genuinely lovely mare who ticks a huge number of boxes and is the sort that is very hard to find. She is kind, honest, and fun, making her an excellent mum and child share or a versatile all-rounder for a competent rider.

Born August 2012, Rosie loves her work and particularly enjoys hacking, fun rides, and farm rides. She is completely unfazed by busy arenas, warm-ups, and atmosphere — in fact, she thrives in these environments and is a real pleasure to ride.

She enjoys showjumping with my teenage daughter and has jumped competently and confidently up to 85cm at local shows. With consistent work and further mileage, she is absolutely capable of progressing further.

She is careful, willing, and enjoys her job.
Rosie hacks happily alone or in company, is regularly ridden in traffic, and is sensible in open spaces. She is a confident, forward-thinking ride and can be strong at times, but she is always genuine and kind. I am a novice rider myself, and Rosie has given me enormous confidence both in the arena and out hacking.

She has previously had a minor suspensory injury, which has caused us no issues whatsoever during our ownership. She’s never needed a day off. She is currently sound, well, and loving life.

Rosie is easy to manage and a pleasure to have on the yard:
Good for the farrier
Good to clip
Happy living in or out
Hacks alone or in company

She is not suitable as a first horse or for a complete novice on their own, but she would be ideal for a capable teenager or adult, particularly as part of a mum/daughter share or for someone wanting a fun, genuine horse to enjoy and progress with.

We will continue to develop Rosie; her price reflects where she is currently, but may increase with further work and competition outings.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved mare. Rosie will only be sold to a knowledgeable, 5-star home. The right home is far more important than price, and sensible offers will be considered.
