11 year old Connemara- N/HWSD (certification will be provided).
Green passport from Connemara Breeders Pony Society.
Bred and produced in the West Coast of Ireland.
Stunning, show stopping mare, you won’t find a prettier one out there. Sadly, jockey has moved on to 148's.
3 lovely paces. Beautiful conformation. Would excel in showing or dressage, looks stunning when all plaited up, always getting superb comments from judges. Has been in the same home for past 5 1/2 years. Originally purchased as a first pony for a 9 year and has also been ridden and schooled regularly by 2 adult riders in several disciplines. Very well-schooled, oodles of training with professional dressage rider. Has been to unaffiliated championships in dressage and SJ. Has been XC but this is not my daughters forte. Looks the part for dressage, knows her job with leg yields, flying changes, counter canter, shoulder in, rein back, turn on the haunches and half passes.
Has a rocking horse canter, slow paced and likes the chilled life. When pushed to jump by a crazy jump loving child she can sometimes put up objections and has been known to throw shapes in the form of bucks and the occasional rear! However, give her the lazier slower pace of life and she's happy. Not suitable for a child who wants to jump jump jump as she'll just object.
In the main she is not one bit mareish, you won’t find a more ploddy nice paced mare but in the interests of being fully honest, she can every so often chance her arm, show a touch of dominance in a small rear and if pushed too much and wants to go back to her stable will throw some shapes and have a cheeky buck. Never, ever dirty or nasty… just needs rider to be competent to handle her in these moments. My daughter has ridden her since a 9 year old and is now 14. Can be months in between doing this, even a year but want a future buyer to know she can do it. Never a single day sick, sorry or lame.
Jumps 80/90 comfortably but for a younger rider will mess around with jumping if she's had enough. A very loving, calm, forgiving pony. Can be left a week or two and is no different when you get back on. Great with younger children on lead rein and equally have had 70+ year old grandmother on her. Children as young as 2 have been on her countless times and she’s good as gold. Children regularly back flip off her bottom and sideways, gets ridden to the field bare back and backwards and doesn't bat an eyelid... Likes the quieter life and is definitely more kick than go!! Loveable, kind and trainable nature, abundance of pure class. She would really suit a therapy type home or in hand showing... or someone who wants to do very little, schooling and the odd hack.
Calm and un-phased in traffic, deals calmly with all farm machinery and regularly hacked out with large and small dogs by her side and not fazed by various livestock. Hacks alone or in company, if in company prefers to follow. Absolute dream in the stable and has impeccable manners.
Loads well - trailer or lorry.
Perfect feet.
Perfect for dentist.
Full physio work up every 3 months since owning her.
In the field, will want to hog the gate and be first out or fed first... will chase others away to make sure she is Queen Bee! Shares a field with my 148 gelding and adores him.
Has previously had a foal years ago prior to us buying her.
WILL NOT SELL TO A YOUNG INEXPERIENCED CHILD.
Very sad sale of our much loved lady. Serious enquiries only, no dealers. Best home is a must for this beauty.
