Reluctant sale of my beautiful boy but family circumstances have sadly changed. I have only owned Oggie since April but unfortunately due to my deteriorating health and impending operation, I am having to cut down and sadly do not have a job for him.
“Eryns Og”
14.2hh 16yo Connemara gelding on a green passport.
Been there, done it - BSJ / BD, incl. Pony of the Year with previous owner.
I feel Oggie would suit a low level home, spending most of his time hacking out. Despite me saying he would prefer this, he is also excellent in the school and loves to pop a course of jumps (coloured and rustic)
Oggie Canters through open fields/moorland, he doesn't get strong or silly, he adores going to Craven Country ride and will go around on his own, over jumps and in the water.
Oggie Currently shod on all four and saw the farrier last week.
He Lunges and long reins beautifully, goes for in handwalks like a puppy dog and will turn out with anything. Oggie is happy to be stabled and doesn’t get silly or fizzy if not ridden for a few days.
Vices and please don’t let these put your off, i would just rather be brutally honest! Oggie is protective over his personal space especially when food is around in the stable and will pull faces and paw the floor (we are happy to discuss this further and give more information but please don’t let it put you off reading more!) however there are also some times when he wants bum scratches and be your best friend following you around the stable, these are on oggies terms! He instantly changes as soon as he is out of the stable or has his head collar on.
Oggie is not a complete novice ride as he is your typical smart Connie and can be spooky when in new in environments and try it on but he is also the most honest and forgiving pony who moves beautifully. At the moment both myself and daughter ride him and I feel he is a great mum/daughter share unfortunately when I have my op, she doesn’t have the time to take him on as she has her own horse to keep exercised.
Oggie is excellent in traffic and will pass machinery. I have hacked him down the main road with buses, tractors, football matches going on/past and he didn’t bat an eyelid!
Oggie does have a small sarcoid on his bum (under his tail) however this remains unchanged and hasn’t grown. Myself and the vet just monitor it.
Oggie is Up to date with everything (feet, teeth, vaccinations)
Oggie will come with his Fairfax saddle, bridle and rugs.

Please no timewasters, this is a hard enough decision as it is.
