Prior to us buying him, Paddy was carefully produced in Ireland. Paddy won the equijump pony producers class as a six year old in Ireland as well as placing at Dublin int. Horse show. He also hunted, and competed and placed in top working hunter and Connemara classes which we are regularly told he would excel at now too. We brought him over and have just kept stepping up the ladder and believe he is still capable of so much more.

He proceeded to establish his event career here to a 2* top class event pony with ease.

This legendary pony absolutely blows us away each time we take him out and attracts attention everywhere he goes. Taking his rider from 80/90 eventing on a schoolmaster up to Novice and 2* in just short of two seasons.

He is an out and out jumper, he absolutely NEVER says no and is extremely careful, very quick and clever on his feet, will jump off any stride and always get his rider out of trouble and never looks at anything put in front of him. He trains 1.20 plus at home with plenty of scope for more and would easily excel at BS. We believe he has all the scope, bravery and ability to step up to intermediate.

He is a cross country machine, extremely bold, brave and can make the time well for a pony, will take a flyer and can be set up for a combination.

Due to rider age and being out of pony classes he has competed against top end horses and still holds his own. Any mistakes made are due to rider error and inexperience and have an explanation we are happy to explain. However, these do not reflect the ponies ability. He will always bring his rider home safe and with a smile on their face.

Dressage is his riders weak point and it has unfortunately shown in some marks however it has been improving each time and he has all the ability and knows all the tricky movements. Judges comments often state how there are many more marks to come. Recently having training with a top class dressage instructor who has stated there is all the ability for mid 20 scores.

He is great to load, travel, dentist, farrier, clip and traffic proof. Never bucks, spins, rears or bolts.

Paddy is a true competition pony and therefore not a novice ride.

We believe we have only scratched the surface of what paddy can do, no doubt he will take his next lucky rider to pony europeans, youth championships and pony trials. He could go round 100/105/Novice/PT now and be very competitive. Unfortunately i didn’t get time with him to achieve these milestones, but there is no doubt he is capable with his next jockey.
