Grace: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Purebred Connemara Mare

It’s not every day a pony like this comes on the market. Grace is a truly exceptional 4-year-old Class 1 purebred Connemara mare standing at 15hh, with the presence, quality, and temperament to turn heads wherever she goes. With her breathtaking Snow White coat, beautifully refined head, and correct conformation, Grace is as close to a real-life unicorn as you’ll ever find. Her striking looks are matched by a sweet, willing nature that makes her the perfect partner for any rider—novice or experienced alike.

Grace is not just a pretty face. She has already proven her talent and rideability in the ring, winning 1st place in the Ridden 4 & 5-Year-Old Class at the Sceilig Connemara Festival and taking home 3rd place in the same class at Charleville Show. She’s also hunted a full season with the Duhallow Foxhounds, showing her brave, sensible, and trustworthy attitude across all types of terrain. In addition, she has been to several training shows, always behaving impeccably and rising to the occasion with maturity well beyond her years.

She’s as quiet as they come—calm, kind, and always wanting to please. Grace is a dream to handle in every way: easy to catch, box, shoe, and groom. She hacks out confidently both alone and in company, and is excellent in traffic, including around large farm machinery. She is equally happy in a busy yard or a quiet setting and would suit a novice rider, a riding school environment, or even a mother-daughter share. Grace is that rare find: a genuine, forgiving mare with a heart of gold.

Under saddle, Grace is a joy to ride. She works in a natural outline, carries a soft snaffle mouth, and offers a responsive, balanced ride. She moves beautifully—her expressive, floating trot and uphill canter make her a lovely ride on the flat, whether you’re schooling at home or competing. She is a super honest and straightforward jumper, taking both show jumps and cross-country fences in her stride. She’s brave without being strong and careful without being fussy, giving her rider confidence at every level.

Her temperament is second to none. Grace is a kind, generous mare with no stable vices and an easy, trainable attitude. She is open to any vetting and comes with a recently passed clean vet certificate for peace of mind.

We’re also happy to offer delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and in the unlikely event that she isn’t a perfect match, an exchange option is available to ensure total satisfaction.

Grace isn’t just beautiful and talented—she’s incredibly well bred, with bloodlines that speak for themselves. Her sire is Hillside Joker, a quality Connemara stallion known for passing on his kind temperament and athletic movement. On her dam’s side, she is out of Hanna’s Day, by the well-regarded Loughwell Paddy, who himself is by the influential Castlestrange Fionn. These lines are synonymous with quality, performance, and true Connemara type, producing ponies with substance, scope, and wonderful temperaments.

Grace truly is the complete package: beauty, brains, temperament, and talent—all wrapped into one stunning young mare. She would excel in a variety of disciplines, from showing and dressage to eventing, pony club, or just being a much-loved best friend for someone who wants a safe, quality all-rounder.

Scroll down to view her video, which speaks for itself, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like more information.

• 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.
