Absolutely beautiful 15.1 dun Connemara gelding, 11 years old.

Talented, kind gelding who is a true schoolmaster and allrounder. This lovely little horse is sadly outgrown and looking for his next person. Would suit a teen or small adult rider.

Previously has evented to BE80 with scope for more. Showjumped in Ireland and has SJI points at 80 and 90cm including 3 wins. He has had a quieter few years with us as my son was not competitive but is fit and ready to go out again in any discipline. He has even carried a sidesaddle and was superb.

Good established, correct flatwork with great movement. Willing to try hard and quick to learn. Very easy in all ways, will step down for a more novice rider and up when asked.

Lovely easy jump with scope to burn, never stops, takes a miss.

Good to handle, load and travel, clip etc.

Hacks alone and in company. Good in open spaces and with all kinds of traffic.

He has been ridden regularly by teenagers and adults, and has enormously helped one nervous lady rider to gain confidence and love riding again. He’s the most useful little horse and a true yard favourite. He takes up the leg well and has been ridden by a 5’8 adult without looking at all ridiculous!

Has hunted extensively with the draghounds and absolutely loves it. He’ll give you a fantastic comfortable day. Well behaved around hounds and other horses, stands to wait, keen without being strong or silly.

He can spook but nothing dramatic.

His only flaw is that at some stage in his past he has been made earshy, and he just asks for some tactful handling around his head. With gentleness you can touch his ears and actually he enjoys a good ear rub, but prefers no sharp movements or unexpected touches to his ears. Tacking up is never a problem. He won’t do anything dramatic if you alarm him – nothing worse than swinging his head away.

He has never been lame or had an off day.
