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 ❤️

🟢HEADS UP GUYS 🟢

I’m sharing this for a friend, this is a wonderful pony!

🟢 Companion pony for loan

🟢Anyone out there looking for a companion pony who can do some light happy hacking?

🟢13.2hh, 21 years young Connemara type mare. She is very well schooled and has been an absolutely amazing competition pony but the time has come for her to step down and have an easier life.

🟢She is very easy to manage and is a lovely person, she just can no longer jump or do endless circles.

🟢She would still do a great job of nannying a youngster, companionship at competitions etc.

🟢She can be left on her own happily

🟥 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE COMMENT BELOW AND SOMEONE WILL CONTACT YOU! This is not my pony so no point messaging me, prospects homes will be thoroughly vetted 😁😁 🟥
