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.
