“Belle” – 14.2hh Class 1 Purebred Connemara Mare – The Ultimate All-Rounder
Introducing Belle, our beautiful 5-year-old bay Connemara mare standing at a perfect 14.2hh. A fully registered Class 1 Connemara, Belle is the epitome of what the breed stands for—versatility, temperament, talent, and that ever-desirable willing heart. With her kind eye, neat conformation, and genuine nature, Belle truly is the full package for anyone looking for a confidence-giving, fun, and fuss-free partner.
Belle is as super quiet and straightforward as they come. She has a temperament to die for—easy-going, honest, and never sharp or silly. She is a real sweetheart to have on the yard, and just as much of a gem under saddle. Whether she’s schooling, hacking, or out competing, she is always happy to do what’s asked of her, with a gentle, willing nature that makes her an absolute pleasure to ride. Belle goes sweetly in a soft snaffle contact, working in a natural outline with no pulling, no resistance, and absolutely no nonsense.
She’s the kind of mare that gives her rider a lovely feel, whether they’re a nervous novice or a confident teen. Belle would suit a range of homes—she’d be an ideal match for a mother-daughter share, a Pony Club family, or even a riding school looking for a safe, enjoyable ride for their clients. She’s forgiving, consistent, and always does her best to look after her jockey.
Belle has already turned heads in the ring, having competed in working hunter classes and unaffiliated showjumping, where she showed her scope, rideability and her classy way of going. She’s incredibly careful over a fence—she doesn’t want to touch a pole—and is very quiet to a fence, giving her rider all the confidence in the world to pop around a course. She’s got the makings of a cracking grassroots pony for someone who wants to go out and enjoy their riding without drama.
She’s also been ridden on the beach, where she behaved impeccably, and she hacks out both alone and in company without issue. Belle is well used to traffic and isn’t fazed by farm machinery, dogs, cyclists, or any of the usual countryside chaos. She takes everything in her stride and never gets hot-headed or spooky.
With three lovely, balanced paces, Belle works beautifully on the flat with a soft, floating trot and a rhythmical canter. She’s straight-moving, sound, and correct, with clean legs and no blemishes. She’s an ideal step up for a child coming off a smaller pony or a perfect confidence giver for someone who needs a steady hand (or hoof!) as they build up experience.
Belle has full recorded breeding, her sire is Newtown Rebel, her dam is by Murvey Rebel x Ardravinna Andy.
On the ground, she’s just as easy—Belle is straightforward to shoe, box, catch, groom, and handle in all ways. She has no stable vices, is good to load and travel, and she stands politely for the farrier. She is open to any vetting or inspection, and we are confident she will pass with flying colours.
To make things even easier, delivery to your yard in the UK is included in the price, and we offer an exchange if you’re not 100% happy—although we’re sure once you meet Belle, you won’t want to let her go.
This is a rare chance to own a truly top-class Connemara mare with all the talent and temperament in the world. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and capable partner to enjoy—whether that’s hacking, showing, jumping, or just plodding around with a smile—Belle is your girl.
