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.

Top Class Allrounder – Kind & Talented 5yo Class 1 Connemara Mare

Introducing Sophie, a stunning 5-year-old Class 1 purebred Connemara mare, standing at 14.2hh. Sophie is the definition of a traditional Connemara pony—she has a leg in each corner, a beautiful head, a kind eye, and a calm, generous nature that makes her a pleasure to work with every day.

Sophie has the ideal temperament for a novice rider, a riding school program, a mother-daughter share, or a young rider wanting to do a bit of everything. She is sweet, steady, and exceptionally quiet, both to handle and to ride. Her laid-back attitude and genuine nature make her the kind of pony that gives confidence and always tries her best.

Under saddle, Sophie is nicely schooled with three balanced paces and a lovely rhythm. She works in a soft outline and listens well to her rider. Over fences, she really shines—she has a super jump with a careful, tidy technique that would make her an excellent working hunter or Pony Club allrounder. She is honest and uncomplicated to a fence and is equally bold and sensible out cross-country, where she never looks at a thing.

Sophie’s kind and willing attitude make her an ideal candidate for Pony Club, working hunter, or family use, and she has the temperament to suit a wide variety of riders. Whether you’re looking for a safe and straightforward pony to learn on, or a quality young mare to produce further, Sophie ticks every box.

She comes from excellent traditional Connemara bloodlines, by Tullaree Hawk (a son of the legendary Dexter Leam Pondi), out of a mare by Bobby Joe, with Garryhinch Finn also in her pedigree—names known for producing performance ponies with sound temperaments and quality conformation.

Sophie has no stable vices, passed a recent 5-stage vetting, and is open to re-vetting for serious buyers. Her price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and if she’s not the perfect match, we offer an exchange policy for peace of mind.

Take a look at her video to see just how lovely and genuine Sophie is. For more information, feel free to call 00353868077626 or email gertytynan@gmail.com. This kind and talented mare is ready to find her forever home.

Good in traffic
Sensible in open fields and new environments
Happy to pop drains, logs, or simply stroll home on a loose rein
