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.

Charlie a superb example of a traditional Connemara, he has plenty of bone and substance, as well as a beautiful front and super straight paces. He would be the ultimate mother daughter share or a superb dressage prospect for someone to take up the levels!

Charlie is an off the leg ride but super safe- would be perfect for a child as a second pony, a teen or an adult to enjoy absolutely everything with; he safely carried a nervous child around pony club camp recently. We have jumped him under saddle upto approx 80cm and loose jumped him over 1m 10 and feel in time he would make an amazing HOYS level 14hh WHP or a superb show jump pony/event pony.

Teddy is a 15hh, 6-year-old Connemara gelding by Tempo Active Atlas. He is a traditional stamp, plenty of bone and is a very talented, forward-going competition horse with lots of potential for the future.

Teddy has been with me for the past two years, during the time he has a little bit of everything and has proven himself to be a genuine, willing and versatile horse.

He has successfully competed in Dressage, consistently placed at every outing, including qualifying for the Riding Club Dressage Championship. He has lots of potential to progress further within Dressage with three balanced, eye-catching paces and a willing, trainable attitude.

He has also successfully competed in Show Jumping and Working Hunter. He is still greener in his show jumping due to having had less experience, but he has plenty of scope, is brave to a fence and has a great attitude towards his jumping.

He has been XC Schooling where he happily jumped ditches, tyres, etc.

Hacks alone or in company, has been on the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Travels alone or in company. Lives on a busy farm, used to heavy machinery and children with toys, balls and bikes!

Up to date with vaccinations and teeth. Gentleman to handle, handled by a 6-year-old. Easy to catch, clip, etc.

Teddy is not suitable for a novice rider. He is a forward-going, talented competition horse who would suit a confident, experienced rider looking for a horse with potential to progress and compete successfully across a number of disciplines.

This really is the most difficult decision and one I have not taken lightly. Teddy has so much to offer the right person, and I would love to see him continue his education and reach his full potential.

Ballylee Sprinter - Teddy

Teddy is a true gentleman. He has so much to give for such a young horse with three uphill lovely balanced gaits. He has scope to burn, jumping with my 9-year-old daughter everything she points him at. His still young so no novice or beginners. This boy will go very far. His so genuine and kind. Would excel in any discipline. He has great confirmation for the showing ring. He is a true well-bred Connemara.

His recently come 2nd in BSJA schools with scope to burn.

Hacking, well what can I say he goes over and under motorway bridges. He has had artic lorries drive so close I felt claustrophobic, but teddy did not bat an eye lid. His is so brave and chilled. My children handle teddy in all aspects of life. He falls asleep being clipped.

He is 6 so please only people that really want to bring out his true purpose in life. We will continue his education until the right home comes along. My son adores Teddie and if my circumstances were different, he would not be for sale. He loads, clips, farrier, hacks, jumps. His up to date with everything. Currently living out unshod, in work and competeing.

• 7 years
• 14.2hh / 148cm

• Excellent manners, good to handle, load, with the farrier and to clip,
• Happy to live in or out with mares and geldings
• Same home since she was 2 years old so full history is known.

For sale as a project as she is not yet fully broken in. She has been with us since she was 2yrs old but due to the demands of other horses and work/ time commitments her education has been started and then stopped without consistency. 

On the ground Coco is confident and well mannered and she long lines beautifully. She has been shown in hand as a 3 year old and travels well. When started under saddle, she was nervous and took time to adjust to having a rider. She is now confident with a rider mounting and is walking around the yard and down the lane. However, she is still apprehensive and has small blinkers on. 

She needs consistency and a rider that can spend time with her everyday. We have 5 other horses and due to A levels and work commitments we can’t give her what she needs. It has taken us a long time to make this decision as she is such a lovely pony but she deserves more than we can give. 

She will only be sold to an experienced home and not for children or teenagers at this point in her eduction. She has had her back checked and teeth done regularly since she was 2 years old and she has been treated for ulcers so she is ready for the next phase in her education. Please ring for a conversation about this lovely pony.

Theo is a gorgeous type recently come over from Ireland now looking for his forever home. He is used to children riding him both in the school out xc schooling and hacking.he has the sweetest temperament absolutely loves a cuddle and fuss will stand for hours to be groomed

He has been to the beach as well as arena hires in Ireland.

He moves sweetly in the school happily walking, trot, canter and popping a fence but is not the finished product.

He hacks perfectly good in traffic.

Clean limbed totally vice free a delight to have around.

Clean very cert from just a few weeks ago.easy enough for a competent child or adult to produce the next step.

• not marish
• loves attention and to be loved

Tally has given my daughter the best 5 years and that’s why she will only go to the best of homes.

She absolutely loves a fuss and stands politely to be groomed, bathed etc. will stand on the lorry alone or with others.

Due to family circumstances which can be discussed she is very very low mileage for her age and is the same if ridden every day or left a month.

We have mainly focused on showjumping where she has qualified for 148 bronze league at nationals, qualified every year we have done blue chip qualifiers b/n, disco and newcomers. At the very start of her ridden life she did go xc and once been and looked at everything she went round and did a lovely clear so think tally would love a variety of activities.

Hacking tally loves off road hacking and will hack alone and with others and never nappy but on the road she doesn’t like anything bigger than a car so we hack round the tracks and fields and she is great even when cattle run in the fields next to her or deer run out .

she really is our pony of a lifetime and will only go to a special home and the only reason she is for sale is my daughter is out of ponies at the end of the year and now on horses .

While tally looks after her jockey she is strong when jumping and needs a balanced and confident rider , she can be sensitive if people make sudden movements on the ground.

Price is absolutely negotiable for the very very best home, we have hundreds of videos/photos and all her good/bad points can be discussed and we know her inside out and want the perfect home for her .

Ridden by children and adults.

She could go showing as she is beautifully put together and moves very straight.

• Amazing temperament. Great to do in all ways.
• Absolute stunner- a real eye catcher.
• Good to load , shoe , clip - has been a pony club horse from the age of five

Dream ( Kildromin Dream) has been my granddaughters pony club ride from a five year old until now - she reached her 12th year in June - born 2014.

She is fast - can turn on a sixpence and is great out hunting / team chase and polocrosse - she was a real winner show jumping and has a good BSJ record - however she started not to enjoy jumping about four years ago,so we bought our granddaughter another horse for showjumping and Dream hasn’t been ridden as much since then - she has still hunted in the season and competed polocrosse regularly even getting a podium place at pony club championships in 2024 !

She’s always been exercised regularly in our arena at home -( she’s always been shod on all four ) and we are told by experts recently that she shows real potential as a dressage horse - but that she isn’t a horse you can just pull from the field and expect rosettes - the regular effort and dedication has to come from her rider too. We feel she would be ideally suited to a low level dressage / happy hacker at the moment.

She can be a little spooky but nothing dangerous… she does take confidence from her rider and is sensitive and a goer but nothing dangerous or sharp.

Although she’s always been a kids horse and has done a marvellous job - I do feel she’s not really a novice ride and also she measured in at 149.5 officially and is probably 15hh now - so a horse not a pony as categories go - therefore our aim is for her to go to a petite adult rider with experience- and who can offer a five star forever home for this much loved mare.

She is never sick or sorry and is open to any vetting - she is up to date with worming / injections / teeth etc and comes with her saddle / bridle rugs etc

• Loving, Knowledgeable Family Home For The Right Horse - Happy To Keep In Touch

I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Absolutely gorgeous 14hh silver dun 3 yo reg Connemara by the legendary Gwennic de Goariva, his dam is by Moy Hazy Cove.
