Smart and Talented All-Rounder – Eventing / Showjumping / Riding Club / Pony Club
Shaun is a beautifully put-together 5-year-old grey Connemara with a kind nature, a super attitude to work, and a bright future ahead of him.
He has begun his professional education in a careful and sympathetic way, showing great promise in a range of disciplines. Shaun has experienced a variety of environments, including XC and SJ , local ridden showing and dressage outings – all of which he has taken in his stride with enthusiasm and maturity. He’s already had numerous placings/ribbons along with winning his dressage last weekend on 68%.
Shaun hacks alone, in company, or small groups, and is good on country road traffic. Lives on a working farm and is about to start hound exercise and autumn hunting.
Shaun has begun working nicely in the school with three attractive, balanced paces and is improving all the time. He is a beautiful mover, snaffle-mouthed, and never strong or silly. Shaun jumps with care and confidence, tackling fillers and water trays with ease. Naturally talented across country, he’s bold, willing, and has previously hunted in Ireland.
Shaun is regularly competing at 80/85cm with ease and schooling over 90cm at home. He has recently taken part in working hunter , sj and xc. Shaun has the scope and potential to progress up the levels in eventing, showjumping, dressage, or working hunter.
His direct relatives are competing at 1.30+ with one being sold for over 50k after winning at hoys so a very exciting prospect for someone .
On the ground, Shaun is an absolute pleasure – easy to handle with lovely manners. He’s good to catch, lead, bath, shoe, and is polite in the stable. His vaccinations, teeth and physio are all up to date. Shaun has travelled in a trailer and large lorry, and happily turns out with mares and geldings.
Shaun is a quality young horse, bred from successful Connemara lines, with an ‘older head on young shoulders’. He is still only five and will need a confident, competent rider to continue his development, he would be a fantastic project for an ambitious rider looking to bring on a talented horse, and could make a lovely mother/daughter share.
Very much a yard favourite, Shaun will be greatly missed. A lovely home is an absolute priority for this young chap as they don’t come along like him too often . First to see will buy .
Open to vetting.
