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.

Meet Karl, a striking 4, rising 5 year-old purebred Connemara gelding standing at 15hh, with a touch more growing still to do. With his exceptional temperament, impressive athleticism, and fantastic attitude to work, Karl is a serious eventing prospect who is destined to go far in the right hands.

Whether it’s water, banks, coffins or ditches, Karl faces every challenge without hesitation and takes it all in his stride. He’s incredibly straightforward and would equally thrive as a top-class hunting pony thanks to his boldness and cool, composed nature.

On the flat, Karl is well-schooled and works happily in a soft, consistent outline. He has three quality paces and a lovely natural balance that will only improve with age and mileage. He’s also showing real promise over showjumps, comfortably and confidently schooling around courses up to 90cm. Again, his honest nature and enthusiasm make him a joy to train and produce.

Karl has the ideal temperament for an experienced rider looking to bring on a future star, but he’s also quiet and kind enough to suit a confident teenager moving up from smaller ponies, or even as a mother-daughter share.

In every respect, he’s a pleasure to have around the yard.

His quality is backed up by his impeccable Connemara bloodlines—Pearls Cove x Bell Spailín Fanách x Ashfield Miller—a pedigree that speaks for itself and promises performance, type, and trainability. Karl is fully registered with recorded breeding, and he is absolutely the kind of pony we expect to hear more about in years to come.

He is open to any vetting and comes with full confidence from us. The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and if for any reason he’s not the right fit, an exchange can be arranged.

Please take the time to watch his video and see for yourself what a special pony Karl is. For more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch at 00353868077626 or by email at gertytynan@gmail.com. Serious enquiries only, as this is a very special pony with a big future ahead.
