Jimmy is a much-loved 14 / 14.1hh Connemara gelding, now looking for his next home as he has sadly been outgrown.
We bought Jimmy four years ago as a 6-year-old for our daughter (then aged 12). Since then, he has been a fun Pony Club pony and all-rounder. He has attended three Pony Club camps, regular rallies and clinics, lessons both at home and away, show jumping competitions and hunter trials. More recently, he has turned his hoof to trail hunting, which he clearly loves, having gone out with the Cambridgeshire University Drag Hounds. He is always ridden in a snaffle other than hunting, when he is in a universal.
Jimmy is an excellent hack, happy on the roads or out on tracks, alone or in company. He is very good in traffic and around farm machinery. He is suitable for all ages, currently being ridden by myself, my daughter and our neighbour’s young children.
On the ground, he is easy to handle and is good to load, clip and shoe.
Jimmy is a classic Connemara with all the personality the breed is known for — a real family clown who loves to pull faces and find anything he can to play with. He would best suit a small or private yard and is happy on his own for periods of time, in the field or in his stable. He could live in or out.
He is up to date with vaccinations, worming and physio.
Whilst Jim has been a phenomenal pony in so many ways, he can be stuffy in a competition environment, but with confident riding and consistent training, this can improve.
Jimmy’s price reflects the fact he has a few small sarcoids, however they do not affect his performance.
This is a very sad sale of a beloved pony who has provided us with endless laughs, entertainment and memories, so only 5* homes will be accepted.
