Everyone wants a pony under their Christmas tree 🎄

This year we are welcoming not one but two new additions to Windrush Farm just in time for Christmas!

Meet Jack and Amy 🐴🐴

EAA Heartland (aka Amy) Connemara X German riding pony (Milky Way - Elphin Michaelmas Daisy) owned by Alicia Williams of Winsome Valley Farm. This super sweet mare will be starting her riding career in 2025 and available for sale later in the summer.

Elphin Whiskeyjack - Connemara stallion. (Maplehurst Michael Macdaire - Scottsway Lullaby) will be trying his hand at eventing and available for the 2025 breeding season.

The future is bright for these two 🌟 🐎

This advice will NOT be popular with those who want it RIGHT NOW, but nevertheless, here goes---

If the goal is to become two things, a good rider and a good horseman/horsewoman, be willing to think in decades rather than in years.

That first decade, from whatever age you began, will take you only so far, and may even take you to the Olympics, but riding skill alone won’t give you all you need to know and be able to do. The next couple of decades will let three components, your physical skills, your control over your emotions and your knowledge, all intertwined to complement one another.

That’s why many of the best riders and trainers are in their 40s, 50s and in some cases in their 60s, even 70s. They didn’t get those tens of thousands of hours overnight.

There are ever so many riders and trainers who gave up too soon. They just needed to have hung in there another ten years, maybe twenty. Which sounds insane, but actually isn’t.

This week marked a fairtale ending of a chapter for little Beni.

He has set sail to a new life and made a certain little girl’s pony dreams come true. It couldn’t be more perfect and although I may have shed a tear or two I’m so excited for their future and to follow along their adventures.

Huge thanks to and for all your help in making this perfect partnership!

Too many acrobatics in the paddock and one shoe down meant Ares’ jump day turned into a hack day… he was gutted as jumping is his favourite 😆

“Beni” the super pony is on the hunt for an ambitious kid or small adult to join him in fulfilling his dreams

13.3hh 4 year old welsh cross, kind, cheeky, athletic and bold. Tries his heart out, desperate to please, and has the talent to go with it.

Has been eventing at open entry/ev85 level in Canada with a small adult, finishing on his dressage score and finishing third in his most recent outing. Has schooled over 100cm at home, scope to go bigger and would jump the moon if you asked him to. Built and rides like a little horse! Would excel in an eventing or jumper home. Best suited to a competitive child in a program or knowledgeable family.

Great for farrier, vet, hacks alone and in company, loads in a straight and slant load trailer, currently barefoot with no vices, never taken a lame step.

Up to date with vaccines etc.

Serious enquiries only. Lots of video available.

Last week we were lucky enough to finish our season in the 🇺🇸 Our first stop was the magical @wingreenllc for the @lucindagreenacademy clinic.

Snapshot of our weekend at Little Bromont @bromontcci A huge learning curve for these two, they deserved to do better than we did on paper thanks to a couple of jockey errors! Lots to work on… the sky’s the limit 🪽 Special thanks to our very own videographer @doug.h.lang for these clips and keeping us all on the straight and narrow all weekend. 5yo Oonagunde (Devon Heir-Scandic-Obelisk-El Corona) 4yo Quick Study (Windy Isles Get Smart-Clover Cliste)

Bath time = play time 🛁 🧼 On second thoughts play time is basically all the time with this guy!

Super pony Beni’s first event last weekend at Glen Oro. At only 4 it was also only his second ever trip off the farm… he was thrown in at the deep end but still came home with a ribbon! He deserves a super kid as special as he is to take him on to reach his full potential 🌟#superpony #welshpony #eventpony #hesavailable
