Ballylee Festys Pride - Sadly due to uni commitments it’s time for me to let Festy blossom in a new home. Festy is a 6 year old, 143cm, Connemara gelding, N/N for HWSD

Sire: Blakehill Ballylee storm
Dam: Ballygarris Festy (Ashfield Festy)

This boy has it all he is smart, has beautiful balanced paces, and is a pleasure to be around. I have no doubt this boy will make a top 143cm plaited worker or an m&m and will be a HOYS contender in the future! He would equally excel in Eventing or showjumping.

Festy has been brought on slowly and correctly over the last two years. He school’s beautifully on the flat and is a snaffle mouth. He loves jumping and oozes natural talent over a fence, he loves hacking alone or in company and is a dream at the beach.
