It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we are looking for the perfect new home for our much-loved 11-year-old grey Connemara gelding, Dom.
After three wonderful years together, my daughter has sadly outgrown him. Dom has given her so many special memories and has been the most genuine, fun-loving pony.
Dom is a forward-going pony who loves his work but is also safe, sensible and kind. He is brave, honest and just wants to please. He would make a fantastic second pony for a competent rider looking to have fun and continue progressing.
Dom has confidently show jumped 90cm -100cm with my daughter and absolutely loves cross-country. He gives his rider complete confidence that they will get to the other side and he will not take offence if you have a miss. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed every minute with Dom, from Riding Club camps and beach rides to lessons and competitions. He takes everything in his stride, always behaves impeccably and is the sort of pony who will turn his hoof to anything asked of him. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of him. He has taken my daughter from a little girl coming off her first pony to a confident rider. Prior to coming to us, he competed successfully in One Day Events with a small adult, where he was very much loved and, to this day, they remain in touch and take a genuine interest in how he is getting on, which speaks volumes about the sort of pony he is.
Dom is safe to hack alone and in company, he is good with traffic and is sensible in open spaces, just last week we took him on a fun ride where he happily led the way with a group of horses.
My daughter has always handled him, tacking up, bringing him in and out of the field, loading, clipping etc. He has always been kind, sensible and straightforward to manage.
Dom is very easy to keep. He currently comes in during the day and is turned out at night throughout the summer, with the opposite routine during the winter months. He would also happily live out if that suited his new home.
He is up to date with his vaccinations and teeth, and has recently been shod.
This is a heartbreaking decision, and finding the right home is far more important to us than anything else. We would consider a short-term lease with a view to buy for the right person and would love to keep in touch with his future rider.
