Prince, a rising 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.

Prince is truly one in a million, and he’s ready now to make someone very proud.

Rosie (Kilbride Rosemary) has had a successful flat showing career qualifying for the Royal International every year we have attempted. Regularly placed in hoys qualifiers, I would love her to have a more varied life, looking for a showing, dressage, working hunter, pony club eventing home.
She is 10 very full up 14hh LHC, traditional leg at each corner type takes up your leg nicely.
She is the kindest mare to handle, great to shoe box and clip, great in traffic, up to date with vaccinations no vices.
Incredibly sad sale.
