Full history known

(AHC last year at 147cm)

If you are looking for easy going, safe and an all round good boy - look no further! I have owned Irish since a 6 month old, imported from Ireland.

Irish has been given the best start in life with no time or expense spared. He was shown as a yearling and 2 year old, then professionally broken by Vikki Smith after a ligament injury to his leg as a just turned 3 year old, there is no scarring and this does not affect him in any way and has not impacted his ridden career at all. Vet report available - fully healed and has not had a day lame since. He has been to a couple of shows including county. He has three well established paces and would do a lovely dressage test.

Although young, he behaves well beyond his years. He has been out to the beach multiple times, farm rides, arena hires, showing clinics and he hacks alone or in company. You could happily put your child or nan on board!

Irish is a pleasure to catch, load, clip, trim, take to a busy show, hack down the motorway if you wished! More recently he has had to adapt to a pram in tow and has been a true gent. He is the most lovable and straightforward character.

Would make a lovely mother/daughter share or a very safe “take to camp” allrounder. He is the unphased type.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, feet and worming.

Very hard sale as he is so good to do in every way, but limited time forces sale.

Plenty of videos available to show how easy going this boy really is.

Please only genuine enquiries.

Home more important than price.

11-year-old | 147.5cm | LHC Registered Connemara Bay Gelding

A very special, much-loved Connemara gelding by Steamstown Mickey, out of a Westside Mirah mare.

Charlie is a top level Working Hunter Pony, talented Riding Club all-rounder and genuine fun pony who is only available due to my ongoing health issues and lack of time to give him the attention he deserves.

Bought as a 3 yr old, broken at 5 years old and not competed until he was 7 due to personal circumstances, Charlie has been carefully produced without being overworked. He has enjoyed 4 months off every winter, has been barefoot all his life and is an incredibly straightforward pony to manage.

Charlie has the loveliest kind, gentle temperament and is a pleasure in every way. He loves hacking, fun rides and cross-country, where he is particularly bold and genuine.

Naturally uphill with an engine, nicely forward stylish jumper and loves his job. He confidently jumps a course of 1m.

Would be a lot of fun for a keen teenager or competitive amateur to get out competing.

Ideal parent/teenager share.
