Lovely 8 year old coloured mare. Connemara x cob but unrecorded breeding.
Lola is one of the sweetest ponies you’ll ever meet - and she was the ‘look at me’ factor too with her colouring. I sold Lola as a rising 4 year old to a friend of mine, but unfortunately their personal circumstances changed drastically at the start of this year and of course I took her back as I didn’t want to see her go through dealers yards. In that time I have done some hacking with Lola, a bit of polework and light schooling and I have given her a full MOT (farrier, physio, dentist and vaccinations/wormer). She had quite a sore poll on her physio visit due to badly fitted tack being used on her. Since being treated she is now a lot happier around that area.
Lola has had a varied life with her last owner and has done quite a few fun rides/sponsored rides, beach days, lots of hacking through orchards, open fields and road work. She has been to multiple arena hires and takes it all in her stride. Loads and travels fine. Will happily go out on her own as well as in company. Stands quiet as a lamb on the yard and happy to come away from friends here (kept at home so often have to come in alone etc and I’ve not had any issues). Good to tack up and mount. Used to kids clambering on board and very tolerant. I’ve hacked her through open fields and alongside a motorway bridge and she didn’t bat an eyelid.
This pony is the perfect combination of safe but also fun. She’s not a plod along/kick along pony so wouldn’t be for a beginner or first pony (although she would probably poodle down the road with a more novice rider). She is a forward and fun mare. I think she’d really suit a mother/daughter share or a teen that wants to go out and just have fun and do some jumping/fun rides/beach rides etc as she loves this! She’s not the type you have to ride 6 times a week. Can leave a week and jump back on.
I’ve given Lola the past 4/5 weeks off in the field now as she needed to put on a bit more condition and just have some down time and she’s looking amazing. I was tempted to pop her in foal as I have a lot of time for this mare but I don’t have any time for her myself, but I do think she’d really thrive with her own person and a 1 to 1 home. I’m in no rush to see her go - happy for her to sit in my field if the right people don’t come along.
She isn’t in work at the moment but wouldn’t take much at all to get her going again. I’ve only predominantly hacked her since being back so can’t comment on her schooling but past owner said she was established with the basics. She is being sold from the field. She can be a little cautious being caught from the field with new people but once she knows you she’s in your pocket (she trots over to the gate for me). No quirks or vices.
Open to any viewing or vetting. I have lots of videos and photos.
I have had tack fitted to her and am happy to sell this separately.
