For Sale – 14.1hh Connemara Mare - Rising 8 years | Dark Bay | Exceptional All-Round Pony

Marilyn, aka Mazza, is a stunning dark bay Connemara mare with outstanding breeding: Silver Shadow bloodlines on the sire’s side and Murphy’s Oscar on the dam’s side, with her dam being a Grade A showjumper in Germany.

Purchased as a professionally produced 4-year-old, Mazza’s education was quietly and correctly continued by my then 10-year-old daughter. She has given my daughter endless joy, confidence, and independence — and plenty of content for TikTok along the way!

Mazza has enjoyed a varied and exciting life. She has competed in showjumping, schooled cross country, hunted with the local pack, hacked for hours alone and in company, attended stay-away shows, and enjoyed beach rides. She hacks confidently across open moors and fields, crosses busy roads without issue, and is unfazed by farm machinery as we live on a working farm.

She is 100% to load, shoe, clip, and travel, and in traffic, and behaves beautifully away from home. Whilst she is not a novice ride and can be strong (ridden in a pelham), she is a genuine, kind, and safe pony who always looks after her rider. I trust her completely with my daughter in all situations.

Mazza would suit a knowledgeable and confident Pony Club or competition home where she can continue her education and enjoy the variety she thrives on. She is a much-loved member of the family and a real pampered princess. This is a genuinely sad sale, only due to my daughter now moving on to horses.

Important & Honest Disclosure

Mazza thrives with a confident, positive ride. On very rare occasions, if things haven’t gone to plan in the ring, she has had an unexpected stop.

This is not habitual and only occurred a handful of times over several years of competing. These moments have been explored and may be linked to hormonal behaviour, for which she has previously had Improvac treatment, with improvement seen. For this reason, she is best suited to a confident, sympathetic rider who understands mares and can ride positively.

I have extensive video footage, including her scopey, powerful jump at numerous venues, as well as the occasional less-than-perfect rounds — full transparency offered.

She is up to date with vaccinations, well cared for, and open to full vetting. Her price reflects her quality, experience, and previous hormonal management.

A very special pony looking for a knowledgeable home where she can continue to shine.
