“Belle” – 14.2hh Class 1 Purebred Connemara Mare – The Ultimate All-Rounder 

Introducing Belle, our beautiful 5-year-old bay Connemara mare standing at a perfect 14.2hh. A fully registered Class 1 Connemara, Belle is the epitome of what the breed stands for—versatility, temperament, talent, and that ever-desirable willing heart. With her kind eye, neat conformation, and genuine nature, Belle truly is the full package for anyone looking for a confidence-giving, fun, and fuss-free partner.

Belle is as super quiet and straightforward as they come. She has a temperament to die for—easy-going, honest, and never sharp or silly. She is a real sweetheart to have on the yard, and just as much of a gem under saddle. Whether she’s schooling, hacking, or out competing, she is always happy to do what’s asked of her, with a gentle, willing nature that makes her an absolute pleasure to ride. Belle goes sweetly in a soft snaffle contact, working in a natural outline with no pulling, no resistance, and absolutely no nonsense.

She’s the kind of mare that gives her rider a lovely feel, whether they’re a nervous novice or a confident teen. Belle would suit a range of homes—she’d be an ideal match for a mother-daughter share, a Pony Club family, or even a riding school looking for a safe, enjoyable ride for their clients. She’s forgiving, consistent, and always does her best to look after her jockey.

Belle has already turned heads in the ring, having competed in working hunter classes and unaffiliated showjumping, where she showed her scope, rideability and her classy way of going. She’s incredibly careful over a fence—she doesn’t want to touch a pole—and is very quiet to a fence, giving her rider all the confidence in the world to pop around a course. She’s got the makings of a cracking grassroots pony for someone who wants to go out and enjoy their riding without drama.

She’s also been ridden on the beach, where she behaved impeccably, and she hacks out both alone and in company without issue. Belle is well used to traffic and isn’t fazed by farm machinery, dogs, cyclists, or any of the usual countryside chaos. She takes everything in her stride and never gets hot-headed or spooky.

With three lovely, balanced paces, Belle works beautifully on the flat with a soft, floating trot and a rhythmical canter. She’s straight-moving, sound, and correct, with clean legs and no blemishes. She’s an ideal step up for a child coming off a smaller pony or a perfect confidence giver for someone who needs a steady hand (or hoof!) as they build up experience.

Belle has full recorded breeding, her sire is Newtown Rebel, her dam is by Murvey Rebel x Ardravinna Andy.

On the ground, she’s just as easy—Belle is straightforward to shoe, box, catch, groom, and handle in all ways. She has no stable vices, is good to load and travel, and she stands politely for the farrier. She is open to any vetting or inspection, and we are confident she will pass with flying colours.

To make things even easier, delivery to your yard in the UK is included in the price, and we offer an exchange if you’re not 100% happy—although we’re sure once you meet Belle, you won’t want to let her go.

This is a rare chance to own a truly top-class Connemara mare with all the talent and temperament in the world. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and capable partner to enjoy—whether that’s hacking, showing, jumping, or just plodding around with a smile—Belle is your girl.

INTRODUCING ANNIE – YOUR NEXT FOREVER SCHOOLMASTER

Beautiful, brave, and bursting with Connemara charisma—meet Annie, a gorgeous 8 year old purebred Connemara bay mare, a truly captivating schoolmaster whose presence alone turns heads. Exceptionally elegant and strikingly typey, she embodies everything one hopes for in a show-stopping Connemara mare.

Despite her regal looks, Annie is a heartwarming partner to handle. Riders new to schooling adore her, and her kind, patient nature makes her a dream for development. She’s calm, cooperative, and always keen to please, never ripe for drama or fuss—she simply doesn’t want to put a foot wrong.

Annie has proven herself across multiple disciplines. She’s competed confidently in working hunter classes and unaffiliated showjumping, showing admirable poise and capability. She’s equally at ease out on the open road, happily hacking alone or in company. She’s even enjoyed jaunts to the beach, breezing through waves with a calm confidence that speaks volumes about her character.

Her pedigree is nothing short of impressive. She is by Banagher de Bergeron, a Connemara stallion whose lines include Poetic Justice, a licensed Connemara stallion born in 1988 by Ballydonagh Cassanova out of Gloves Misty. Poetic Justice competed in showjumping up to 140cm against horses and became a popular sire of performance ponies—with several of his progeny representing at European Championships. 

On her dam side, Annie descends from Calla Boy, another influential Connemara stallion (born circa 1976, grey), sired by Dun Aengus and out of Sliabh na mBan II. Stallions like Calla Boy’s descendants, such as Mulroy Bay, trace lineage back to this line—valuable for preserving genetic diversity. 

Collectively, Annie carries bloodlines steeped in athleticism, classic type, and trustworthy temperaments—a legacy of Connemara excellence.

Annie comes fully vetted, with a recently passed five-stage vetting and is open to any re-vetting for your peace of mind. She’s sound, healthy, honest, and ready to step into a new chapter with a rider or family that values quality, consistency, and affection.

Adding that final touch of reassurance, the price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK—and if for any reason you’re not completely happy once you meet her, I offer an exchange to ensure you’re entirely satisfied.

Scroll down to watch her video, and see for yourself how gracefully she moves, how softly she packs, and how effortlessly she adapts. Annie isn’t just a pony; she’s a companion for growth, learning, and lifelong partnership.

To talk more, call anytime on +353 86 807 7626, or email me at gertytynan@gmail.com. Annie is ready for her next chapter—perhaps with you?

Captain – A Pony of a Lifetime

It’s not every day a pony like this comes along. Meet Captain, a truly exceptional 5-year-old purebred Connemara gelding who combines looks, talent, temperament, and top breeding into one rare package. Standing at a lovely 14.3hh and finished in a striking grey coat, Captain is beautifully put together with outstanding conformation, making him a standout wherever he goes. He has three naturally flashy, balanced paces and carries himself with elegance and ease — this is a pony who turns heads for all the right reasons.

Captain has already achieved more in his five years than many ponies twice his age. He’s been there and done that, with experience in the hunting field, plenty of time spent loving life out on the cross-country course, and a confident record jumping up to 1.10m. He’s competed at training shows, handled a wide variety of environments, and proven himself time and time again as brave, honest, and willing. Nothing phases this pony. Whether you’re out hacking alone or in company, schooling in the arena, or galloping across open ground, Captain gives his rider confidence and brings joy to every ride.

What truly sets Captain apart is his temperament. He is incredibly straightforward, easy to ride, and totally uncomplicated to handle. He’s as quiet as they come and always tries his best, making him the ideal partner for a novice, a teenager stepping up from smaller ponies, a mother-daughter share, or even a riding school looking for a rock-solid all-rounder. He’s 100% in traffic and is completely accustomed to farm machinery, animals, and all the hustle and bustle of yard life. Captain is a genuine pleasure in every way — easy to catch, box, shoe, clip, and handle on the ground.

Captain’s breeding is just as impressive as his performance. He is by Alkatraz Paddy, a Class 1 Connemara stallion known for passing on athleticism, scope, and excellent temperament. Alkatraz Paddy is by Kippure Alkatraz, a son of the great Frederiksminde Hazy Merlin, whose bloodlines trace back to some of the most influential Connemara stallions in the breed. This is a pedigree built on performance and class — the kind that gives confidence in every stride and value for generations to come. Captain’s dam side complements this brilliantly, and he is fully Class 1 bred throughout.

There are no stable vices to speak of. Captain is sound, recently passed a 5 stage vetting, open to any vetting, and in top health and condition. He has been brought on carefully, never rushed, and is now ready to find his forever person — someone who wants a pony to learn with, grow with, and love for years to come. He truly is a once-in-a-lifetime pony.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and for peace of mind, I offer an exchange if you’re not happy — although I believe wholeheartedly that once you meet him, you’ll know you’ve found something very special.

To find out more, call anytime on +353 86 807 7626 or email me directly at gertytynan@gmail.com. Captain is ready to meet you — and ready to make someone’s dreams come true.

Inis sle Lancelot known as Lance is a 6 year old gelding who has shown great promise over the summer he is still eligible novice classes and has started to jump on the lunge and happily pops a log out on the forest

He’s competed lightly but successfully narrowly missing a Royal International ticket in both open and junior classes he competed in one Open hoys at the Royal Highalnd and never missed a beat in a very buzzy atmosphere, he attended NPS champs and won the junior large breeds class in the evening with a nervous Jockey and behaved beautifully

He’s been produced by myself this season and rides nicely on the flat and he’s also ridden by a 14 year old jockey without an issues

Lance would suit a varied life with lots of hacking beach rides and he is showing potential as a worker he has good breeding of jumping ponies but this isn’t something we have pursued as his current jockey doesn’t jump but we feel he would enjoy it

He’s good to load clip bath and with the farrier

Genuine reason for sale which is in no fault of his he really is a lovely boy to deal with.

Can be seen with myself in Cheshire

“Buddy” – Outstanding 4-Year-Old Purebred Connemara Gelding – 15.1hh and Still Growing 

A beautifully mannered, straightforward Connemara gelding. Quiet, easy, and a pleasure in every way. A quality type with an exceptional temperament.

Meet Buddy, our truly exceptional 4-year-old purebred Connemara gelding, currently standing at a well-grown 15.1hh with more height and plenty of quality still to come. Buddy is the kind of pony that turns heads wherever he goes – a real leg-in-each-corner type, with substance, presence, and the sort of temperament that makes him a dream to produce. He has all the hallmark qualities of the Connemara breed: scope, heart, brains, and that all-important quiet nature.

From the minute you sit on Buddy, you know you’re on something special. He rides beautifully off a soft snaffle contact, working in a natural rhythm and balance well beyond his years. He’s extremely well-schooled for his age and shows maturity in both his flatwork and jumping. He’s responsive without being sharp, forward-thinking but never silly, and always tries his best to understand what’s being asked of him. He has three quality paces, a soft and rhythmical trot, a balanced uphill canter, and a very correct walk. Buddy is the type that always wants to please – he’s very trainable, kind, and genuinely enjoys his work.

Over the summer, Buddy has already started to make his mark in the show ring and out hunting. He competed successfully in a number of Connemara show classes and working hunter classes, where his rideability and ring presence earned him great results, including 2nd place at Charleville Show in the 4- & 5-Year-Old Ridden Class – a real achievement in a strong class of quality ponies. He has also competed at training shows and is no stranger to a full day out, having already completed a full season’s hunting, where he proved to be mannerly, brave, and a real pleasure to ride across country.

When it comes to jumping, Buddy is quiet, confident, and careful. He has a naturally good technique and plenty of scope – he’s been comfortably jumping up to 1m here, and he free-jumps 1.20m with ease. He shows a lot of promise both over showjumps and across country fences. Cross-country is where Buddy really shines – he’s brave, straight, and honest, making him a super candidate for grassroots eventing or working hunter pony classes. He never says no, takes everything in his stride, and always gives his rider a confident, safe feel to a fence.

One of Buddy’s standout features is his temperament. He is very quiet, both on the ground and under saddle. He is the same pony every day – whether he’s been ridden every day that week or pulled in from the field after a few days off. He is straightforward to catch, box, shoe, hack, and handle in every way. He hacks out alone or in company, is good in traffic, and isn’t fazed by farm machinery, dogs, or any of the usual countryside commotion. He is good to travel, settles in new places without fuss, and has no stable vices. He’s a total gentleman to have on the yard and is a firm favourite with everyone who handles him.

Buddy is quiet enough for a novice, making him a lovely option for a mother-daughter share, a Pony Club or Riding Club home, or even a riding school looking for a quality horse to add to their string. Equally, with his looks, talent, and trainability, he would be right at home in a more competitive setting – he’s the sort that will happily turn his hoof to anything you ask of him and do it all with a smile on his face.

Buddy us a purebred Connemara with full recorded breeding, his Sire is Hillside Joker, his dam is by Celtic Moy Sailor x Ardravinna Andy

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely satisfied – though we’re confident that once you meet Buddy, you’ll fall for him just like we have.

Please feel free to call anytime on 00353868077626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com for more information.

Scroll down to watch his video and see Buddy in action – he’s even better in real life. Don’t miss out on the chance to own a truly outstanding young Connemara gelding with a huge future ahead of him.
