• Three balanced paces with ample presence
• Very brave over solid and coloured fences, jumps for fun
• Clever, chirpy pony who wants to please

6 yr old Class1 Connemara Gelding by Caherlistrane Bay, out of a Robe Island Bay mare. Has been produced slowly and correctly and is now ready to be competitive. Jumping all solid and coloured fences confidently, including fillers, water trays, water, ditches, tiger traps, kennels, role tops, corners, skinnies etc on grass or on a surface. Currently popping round 80 - 90 cm, but jumping 1m+ at home. Locks on and takes you to a fence. Has three balanced paces, ample presence and a good measure of bone. Suited to a competent teenager or small adult who wants to progress through the classes.

Good to load, clip, shoe, worm etc and recently been checked over by the chiropractor and dentist with a clean bill of health. Hacks alone or in company (but still young so can be chirpy). Has successfully hunted for 2 seasons, stands well at the meet and is forward, loving to jump out of his stride. Very friendly, always the first to come to you, happy to live out but enjoys the attention when living in. Can be a bit excitable on the yard, but just loves company and his work.

This brave, clever pony will excel in the right hands and has a full sister already competing at Badminton Grass Routes.

Best suited to eventing or performance classes, but would also make a stunning WHP.

Will only be sold to a 5* competitive home who can reach this golden boys potential.
