Folks, I’d like to introduce Oscar! 🐴❤️

This fabulous chap arrived yesterday!

He belongs to a friend and has come to us to be backed and to find a new home.

He is an absolutely stunning chap, a proper substantial fella, real traditional Connemara stamp with the added bonus that he is growing still and will probably make around 15.2- and I have it on good authority that he is VERY impressive over a fence!

He is 3 rising 4 years and has had all the groundwork done ready for us to back, I will keep you updated with his progress!

❤️❤️ OH WALTER, WE ABSOLUTELY
LOVE YOU! ❤️❤️

Kind, sweet, gentle, patient,genuine, super smart young man Walter had his first short session away from home yesterday and just look at him 🥰🥰🥰

Always trying his hardest, putting his best foot forward, wanting to please you, giving you his all and any other accolade you can think of, he carries himself so very correctly naturally and gives you a lovely ‘small horse’ feel rather than feeling like an overgrown pony.

Standing around patiently chatting to the neighbours, taking everything in without being at all spooky and just absolutely making us smile the whole time, someone will be extremely lucky to have Walter in their life being their best friend.

15h, rising 4 year old registered Connemara gelding, N/N.

Although totally genuine and kind, please remember that Walter has only been backed a few weeks so no, he has not been out competing yet, no, he has not been hammered round a course of fences and no, you cannot put your 8 year old daughter on him.

Please WhatsApp me on 07888675300 for a chat about him.

This- most definitely this 👌

“He/she is too green”

This is something I often hear when people enquire and I send videos of suitable horses. These horses are 3/4/maybe 5yos…. I am glad they are green!! And I will never apologise for that.

It means they haven’t been overproduced and have spent lots of time in the field growing and developing between little bursts of work. It also hopefully means that they will go on to have long and happy lives as strong, sound individuals - able to do their jobs for as long as possible.

Yes - our young horses will always be “behind” others in their age group and those you see at the big sales/age classes at shows…. But what does “behind” really mean at that age? They always catch up with their peers by 6/7 if you have spent the time doing the basics correctly and have a well rounded, soft, supple horse who wants to work.

You don’t prove anything at 3/4/5 you just use up some of the finite number of jumps that I believe each horse is born with. That’s one nugget of wisdom I gleaned from a very experienced horseman in my formative years - don’t use those jumps up jumping pointless fences as a young horse.

Get out of the arena, go hacking, work on a variety of surfaces to build soft tissues and never be afraid to turn the horse away for a couple of months. They will come back mentally and physically stronger as a result. Let them into big open spaces with friends and allow them to just be horses for a little while longer.

There will be many years ahead to go competing if you take it slowly in the first few. Photo of Donal with a few 3 and 4yos growing slowly in the fields of Ballinasloe ❤️
