As I am currently on my way to the airport to (try) spend a week away back home with not one horse in sight, here's an update on the babies!

We headed to Events at Rein & Shine for their pair hunter trial with 8 ponies/horses, unfortunately both Demi and I have some serious issues counting up to 10 so we missed fence number 9 on every pair we rode together/6 horses 🙈🤣 otherwise they would have all been placed as we were the only ones that went around clear! Oh well! The babies don't know and they were clear in our eyes 🥰

Finally the last round I was leading Jasmine Williamson that actually walked the course properly and shouted at me to not forget number 9!! So with the last pair we managed a third place 😂

Very very sweet babies!! Gold star must go to Enzo (15.2hh Dun Connemara X ISH), 4 weeks under saddle that has only ever jumped one crosspole in the arena before, never been out, never seen a log in his life, never been through the water and he proved to be the easiest ride of the day, such a brave baby

Pony 4yo 14.2hh dun Connemara X QH is proving so talented and has a fabulous bold jump, he was supposed to have 7yo Bobby leading him around but instead Bob proved spooky and backwards so Pony had to put his brave pants on and take the lead all the way round which he did fabulously

Lovely Duke that spent a week with us while his mum was away helped leading Demi on her project pony Bobby (yes! another Bobby 🙈)

And finall we met Jasmine there with her two ex CDM Equestrian connemaras to take a spin around together on Negroni leading young Martini

See you soon everyone! If anyone needs to message/call please rely on headgirl Demi Thom +44 7940 818825

We don't only sell beautiful ponies, in fact our biggest passion is to start the babies for private homes to guarantee the most successful future for them.

If you can teach a horse good manners starting from the ground and how to respond to scares and tension you will open for him/her a door to an enjoyable, fun and positive life

So here come the youngest babies on the yard!! All between 3 and 4yos all gorgeous in their own very unique ways

They come in all shapes, colours and sizes and we love them all

Left to right we have naughty little 14hh Welsh D Lucifer, 15.2hh palomino PRE Eddie, 15.2hh dun ISH X Connemara Enzo, 16hh ISH Luca and the last arrival almost 17hh (already and only 3yo 🙈🙈) Spotty Sport horse Meeko

Scroll to see the Instagram Vs reality shots 😅 trying to make 5 mouthy, playful, fidgety babies stand for a shot 😂 you need 6 harms, 6 legs and 3 girls jumping up and down with treats behind the camera!!

04/08/2024

A lovely friend has these babies available to view/reserve if anyone is looking for a cute terrier to join the yard, they are all very playful and already very patient being handled by a toddler 🥰

The next exciting baby that will soon be looking for a new home is Enzo 🥰

DUN 4yo Connemara X ISH out of Tullabeg Fusion, standing at 15.2hh

His sire has produced some lovely eventers that competed all the way up to 5* and this lad has a wonderful future ahead of him

He is a very kind, non spooky, relaxed and friendly chap that was started under saddle 4 weeks ago and took everything in his stride

He has walked, trotted, cantered and popped his first jump under saddle proving very capable

He hacks out really well and is good in traffic, he was such a good boy for his first set of shoes with the farrier and he is good to load and travel, he will be available in a couple of weeks when more established or as he is to an experienced home to guarantee the very successful future he deserves

It would be great to see him out and about eventing next season, he is a really correct and smart grassroots prospect

30/07/2024

To all horsey friends we are looking for a full time/4 days per week second groom, lots of hacking and chance to learn how to work with breakers/ babies and problem horses, own horses and accomodation can be discussed too.

For the right rider there is the chance to take some of the youngsters hunting, to fun ride and competing too/ to have your own project pony to produce

Less experienced people that are willing to learn are very welcome too

Or someone having issues with a difficult/young horse that needs help and can come and help in change

Please share wide horsey friends ☺️

25/07/2024

Who did it best?

These girls are the proof that mares are in fact wonderful on contrary of common belief

🔺Saffron to make 15.1hh 4yo Connemara (Ardgaineen Rebel x Castle Squire) rose grey

It was Saffy's second time seeing xc fences, she is bold, brave with a real eventer attitude, she already lands and go, looking for the next fence. Her jump is something you don't see often in a Connemara, MEGA big bold jumper

🔺Samba (Kippure Alkatraz x Gwennic De Goariva) 14.2hh 4yo golden dun Connemara

Samba never been cross country before, she was incredibly genuine, tried her best and jumped everything first time, including walking straight away into the water with no hesitation, she has a very steady and grounded brain with plenty of scope and movements

🔺Bonnie (Cornfield Prince x Smokey Finn) class 1, 15hh 5yo bay Connemara

I met this lovely little lady on the day and never ridden her before she is a super duper cute bundle of bubbles and enthusiasm, like the other two she is very safe and proved very trainable by adapting to my ways immediately and doing everything she was told. She has a cute little jump on her and is very pretty, she would have tonnes of fun with a teenager/PC home

21/07/2024

Everyone keeps your eyes out for this gorgeous boy's advert

We had Kermit 🦊, 16.3hh ID X tb, 4yo earlier on in the year to start his education which he took like a duck to water.

He is the most quiet, loving and polite big chap to have around, a proper Labrador type in a smart competition body, he would be a wonderful family horse and smart enough to go off and succeed in any sphere.

Has been ridden out hacking until now to strengthen and he will now start to school and jump, he was given time to mature and never rushed

He has already experienced a few outings he went to in hand shows and clinics, and behaved perfectly well

He is brilliant to do everything with, easy with the farrier, to load and travel

Personal circumstances force the sale and the owner is genuinely gutted to see him go so he will only go to a perfect forever home

14/07/2024

Couldn't be more proud of my babies 🥰

I feel like I always say this but they always impress me and are at their best behaviour everytime we go out

It was dressage day for Polo, Pony, Saffron and Samba and first ever test for all of them

Polo 6yo 14.1hh cobby, was wonderful, active little coblet with a good rhythm, got a bit distracted for his second test when his friend Samba left the arena but kept it together really well and finished 🥈2nd🥈with 68.9% and 🥉3rd🥉 with 66.9%

Pony 14.2hh gelding, dun Connemara X QH really tried his best, the first test was wobbly and distracted but when he went in for his second one he put his grown up brain on and really worked hard, he knew what he was doing the second time around and the difference between the two tests was increadible, he so intelligent and hard working once he learns how to do something, he is a serious 148 prospect for an experienced home. He finished 4th with 58.6% and 5th with 65% over 5% difference between the two tests, very impressive how quickly he learns!!

Samba 14.2hh 4yo dun Connemara mare was just wonderful and the golden child that she is (both by colour and by nature) foot perfect from beginning to end, she has wonderful paces and a lots of presence. She will look very impressive both in the dressage and show ring, she finished with a 🥈second 🥈with a whopping 70.4% and a fourth place with 67.8%

Last but not least gorgeous Saffron, 15hh 4yo Connemara mare (to make 15.1hh+) again just amazing, so well behaved, so bright, so willing, gives the most amazing feeling under saddle once she works out her big paces, so much that the judges thought she was much older and couldn't believe it was only a 4yo doing her first ever test. She is just something else and we love her to bits 🥰 unsurprisingly she only went and🥇WON🥇just a fraction in front of Samba with 70.8% and was 🥉3rd 🥉 again just in front of Samba with 68.6%

Lots of smiles and rosettes with 8 tests all in the top 5 placings!! I LOVE MY BABIES

From left to right Polo, Pony, Samba, Saffron

Who needs a fancy eventer when you have a little 14.1hh coblet that jumps like this? 🤗

Another two talented and very brave boys going cross country schooling for the first time

Baileys 🐎 14.2hh 4yo Connemara gelding by Hannah's only Dun (Silver Shadow), he must be the most beautiful Connemara I have ever had the pleasure to ride, also so incredibly well behaved and talented, there aren't many out there with the full package.

His dad is a young stallion already proving himself jumping internationally and I have no doubt that Bailey's will follow his footsteps. He is athletic, has fabulous paces, good jump, good brain and has a natural stamina and engine that not many connemaras have. He is a serious FEI prospect for someone wanting to produce a quality but SAFE pony

Completely on the other end of the scale but cute as a button is Polo 🐎 6yo, 14.1hh super coblet, he hasn't done much (mostly been doodling around with children at home) so he is green, but tonnes of potential and a brave jumping pony, ai can see him eating up hunting ground, hedges and rails over the winter with a brave little jockey on board, big jumping, big moving CLASSY cobby, again not one that you find every day, he would suit a small adult/ mother daughters share, hunting/PC all round home, smart enough to do pure dressage or showing.

06/07/2024

Oh Saffron if only I had the time to have one of my own ❤️

This 4yo is everything you would expect to see to make a great competition horse one day

Intelligent, trainable, bright but safe, increadibly balanced and easy to collect for her age, very aware of her own legs, a great jumper and a great mover, brave into a fence, trusting of the rider

She is just fabulous 😍

This is her first time around a course of showjumps, first time seeing fillers, including water tray. I would still normally trot them into fences at this stage but she very happily popped into a very lovely steady canter so I just let her work it all out, you can see the quality and willingness within the greeness, such a great brain to work with

All of this in a fully registered overheight Connemara package makes it even more exciting 😊

She is available to view, 15hh and very bum high to make 15.1hh+ a little dream in the making, I would love to see her go to an experienced home to bring the best out of her, but she is also quiet enough for an ambitious amateur, I broke her in myself and never put a foot out of place since the first day under saddle

05/07/2024

To all my clients!!

Please be aware and report this profile that is stealing the pictures of our wonderful Connies and saying around they are her horses!!

If you private message her she even states that I am the scammer 😂🙈

There is only ONE page specialized into producing/selling Connemara and Connie types

03/07/2024

Babies Vs water trays 🙈😂

When you walk a 4yo towards his/her first ever water tray you never really know what kind of awkward jump they will throw at you, and it is ALWAYS an awkward jump 😂

Saffron was the perfect example on how to deal with it simply, "what water tray?" She said, and then there's Elliott 🙈😂😂😂

Both wonderful and so sensible around their first ever course of jumps with fillers, doubles and all! They jumped everything first time, no stops nor refusals and they both love their jumping

These two are some serious competitions prospects and have lovely personalities

02/07/2024

🍻Moretti🍻

Very attractive 4yo 15.1hh to make 15.2hh+ by Tempo Active Atlas out of a Cullilaun Cushlawn (Currachmore Cashel) mare

A lovely boy with very correct rhythmical paces, he is an accurate ride and very mature and straightforward for his age under saddle.

Moretti has a lovely soft mouth and is nicely off the leg but steady and very polite

He has been cross country schooling jumping ditches, steps, water and skinnies without questioning and has successfully completed his first competition coming 8th at a combined training, where he proved very sensible and level headed around other horses in the warm-up as well as to handle, travel, load and everything else in between

He is brave over a fence and tries his best even off a dodgy stride, he is not one to refuse or run out
Brilliant to hack out in front and behind, cantering in a group both in open fields and on the road, always in a snaffle and not strong, you can ride and lead off him and he can also be lead off another horse

He is very easy to do on the ground, can easily be led around and brushed/washed off by the whole family, he is familiar to dogs and little children too

He hasn't been rushed nor pushed in any way, he was very lightly backed last year, hacked for a couple of weeks and then turned away for a few months over the winter to mature

He could be a serious contender in any sphere, from grassroot eventing to PC, hunting or even pure dressage, he is always complimented how pretty he is and how what a lovely picture he makes when under saddle

He still has plenty of filling out and growing to do and he will be a really good compact athletic type
Very easy to do on the ground and can be handled, washed/groomed by the whole family

For the ones that like to stand out and want to look a bit different 😊

This beautiful little lad arrived today, he is cute as a button, 14.1hh 6yo little coblet, with a big body, he will suit both an adult and a child, he is safe and has been ridden by children already

He has been doing some hacking, dressage, playing around at home with little kiddies and has been funriding too

He is a steady, safe little poppet

He is under assessment for the next couple of weeks and will do a couple of outings on him to get the best idea of what kind of home he will suit best but he gives me a mother/grandmother and daughter share kind of vibes

Look how beautiful those eyes are 👀😍

01/07/2024

3 of the babies doing their first competition and all in the top 10 placings bringing home lovely rosette 🥰

Moretti white grey 4yo 15.1hh (by Tempo Active Atlas) came 8th at his first combined training, he tried his best in his first ever dressage test and did a very sweet genuine round and didn't question any of the fences

Delta dark grey 4yo 14.2hh (by Woodfield Sammy) was 5th in his first combined training, he did a very sweet and enthusiastic but polite test and loved his jumping, he really throws some impressive jumps, he will be a serious 148 prospect

Last but not least Piper dark dappled grey 4yo 14.3hh did his first Eventer Challenge and had an unfortunate slip into a double in the showjuping but even if being his first ever SJ course and his first time jumping on grass, he took no offence and carried on like nothing happened clearing everything by a mile and a lovely clear xc to come 8th 😊

They all did me so proud by being the best behaved horses in the car park by far, happily munching on their hay tied up on their own by the trailer while their pal was being ridden, happily leaving his friend behind without calling or napping, loaded perfectly, traveled perfectly, stood perfectly, they can be left with no headcollar in the middle of the the carpark and I trust them not to move a muscle until asked to then try their best everytime under saddle, I say this now and say it all the time but I love my babies and I trust them more than most of the older liveries that come in for schooling 🙈🙈

Just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous and so polite and enjoyable to take 😊

28/06/2024

Moretti (15.1hh 4yo Connemara gelding) and Delta (14.2hh 4yo Connemara gelding) were superstars cross country schooling around Oxstall BE flagged course

Very well behaved with other horses whizzing around them and didn't have any baby fences to warm up with, straight into the big scary stuff

They were both wonderful and so much fun 😊

Jumped ditches, steps, water and skinny fences all first time

27/06/2024

Little peek of a very exciting gorgeous newbie on her way 🥰

16hh 6yo LW cob mare

26/06/2024

If you guys have missed out on these wonderful coblets Ted and Cosmo that were both sold to their first viewers and are settling well in their new homes, keep your eyes peeled as there are some exciting new entries joining us soon 😁

A brilliant write up by Sport Horses ☺️

Let’s discuss the unicorn in the room…. Unrealistic expectations!!

I’ve seen a few wanted adverts recently and had a few enquiries with wanted lists and unrealistic accompanying price tags that left me banging my head against the wall 🤦‍♀️

You CANNOT have all 3 of these things. Yes, “Karen” has probably found one of them 20years ago that she bought for £1 and it turned out to be her 5* eventer…. (So yes, it is POSSIBLE…) but…. The £1 horse probably didn’t have a 5 stage vetting with X-rays that it was expected to pass with 100% perfection and it probably took a lot of hard work and time to produce the horse into that 5* eventer and therefore by definition, it wasn’t actually cheap because it took a lot of time and money to develop.

I see and hear it so often “I’ve been looking for months, had X number of horses fail the vet, been up and down the country to see horses that were misdescribed” …. I get that there are some rogues out there and I don’t envy buyers. But…. Sometimes…. Be more realistic. And be more critical before getting in the car. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

It costs thousands to put a quality foal on the floor. It costs thousands more to keep it to 3/4years old and then it costs thousands to break it and have it at a stage where most people could safely ride it - even then it will still be very green! So we are into 5 figures and it’s only just under saddle….

NO that doesn’t mean that just because every horse cost X means it’s worth the same or more - some don’t make the grade, some aren’t easy, some don’t xray/don’t vet - but these are therefore the horses that will fall into the lower budgets. You cannot expect to have perfection for a low budget. Something has to give!

A riding club horse does not need a perfect vetting - yes your insurer might want a perfect vetting, but do you need insurance? And if you need insurance and the low budget horse is likely to throw “something” up on vetting that you’re worried will cause an exclusion, do you need the vetting?! (I’m going to get blasted for that comment 😅) Or do you need a more experienced friend/trainers opinion and then buy and insure it without a vetting if it’s at a price level where it’s not needed? Most insurers don’t require a vetting under £5k unless you want loss of use and then we get back to the point that your £5k horse is unlikely to pass the vetting cleanly and therefore you’ll have exclusions…. And please let’s vet for purpose, don’t get me started on the vets that vet “Bob the cob” as if he’s going to the Olympics…

✅ Be realistic about what you want/can afford and what you can actually ride
✅ Be prepared to make compromises
✅ Be more critical of adverts purporting to offer a unicorn for next to no money
✅ Enlist the help of a more experienced friend/trainer to guide you
❌ don’t rule out an older horse or one that requires maintenance if it does your job
❌ do not expect perfection if you haven’t got a big enough budget

I’m sure this will bring out the “it’s not fair, not everyone has a huge budget to spend on a horse” argument. Well guess what, LIFES not fair… those with a big budget can afford to have a long wish list and wait for said unicorn! Everyone else, needs to be realistic 😅

Edit to add - this post is talking about the sane, sensible horses… you CAN have sound, talented and cheap….. but I guarantee it will be quirky or difficult and most people can’t ride those 😅

This is how sweet and kind big Teddy is 🐻

And as confirmed by our most experienced rider at , Teddy is indeed very "Lowely" so much that she requested to jump the oxer in the arena ba****ck and backwards 🙈 I am scared of the day she will ride off the lead 😂

A week full of viewings for Ted, Aka Mr popular, quite unsurprisingly 💁🏼‍♀️

06/06/2024

This is what lovely new boy Finn, 14.3hh 3yo Connemara gelding in to be broken in, thinks of his first ever time wearing a saddle 😂

He has the most gorgeous dapples 🥰

04/06/2024

Teddy

Gorgeous 7yo 15.3hh cob

A lovely boy with big uphill paces, very brave over a fence, he is a point and go type, he loves his jumping and hacking and he is easy to do on the ground, so much that I let my little 2yo daughter hand graze him and lead him around, he is so patient and careful not to stand on her

He hasn't been rushed nor pushed in any way, belongs to an amateur lady and mainly competed in dressage and did lots of hacking, took part to lots of riding club clinics, BD Quest and has been to stay away show.

Has cross country schooled, been fun riding, show jumped around a little course of fences, he is not bothered by fillers and he could be a serious contender in the show ring or go up the levels in pure dressage with a bit more schooling. He is smart, attractive and athletic for a heavy horse

Snaffle mouthed and a light ride, he is off the leg and rides big but balanced and tries his hardest, you can adjust him within the paces and collect him well
He is very sensible, doesn't buck, rear, bronc, non spooky and can go both in front and behind all in a snaffle

He would be absolutely amazing out in the hunting field, I can see him tackling anything thrown at him because of his willing and "can do" personality, he is sure footed and happily stop and wait after a gallop

He has been growing slowly due to his size and still has plenty of filling out to do and topline to develop but he can be an amazing contestant in the show ring in maxi classes, he has lots of presence.

Very easy to do on the ground and can be handled, washed/groomed by the whole family

Some proper photos of Samba 🥰

Drop dead gorgeous connemara mare 4yrs, 14.2hh

Well bred by Kippure Alkatraz out of a Gwennic de Goariva mare a pleasure to do in every way, she is quite special, big moving, quiet as a lamb she is wonderful to hack both in company and on her and has started in the arena where she walks trots and canters well, she is naturally off the leg but steady and has a soft mouth

The deepest most beautiful golden colour with a dorsal stripe, she would look amazing in the show ring or in the white boards or pretty much anywhere really, there's nothing this girly can't do, very exciting competition prospect for the future but also quiet enough to be a family pony for mum, grandma and daughter 🥰

02/06/2024

Few of the babies went cross country schooling Oxstalls Cross Country for the first time and were all blooming awesome!!

Saffron (15hh 4yo Connemara mare), Cosmo (15.2hh 4yo Clydesdale x ISH), Elliott (15hh 4yo Connemara gelding) and Conner (15.1hh 4yo Connemara gelding)

Very brave babies with exciting future ahead, all careful and bold, they jumped ditches, steps waters and everything else in between

01/06/2024

Three of the 5 (yes 5!!) gorgeous newbies
Tango , Cha - Cha and Samba

All 4yo fully registered connemaras all already under saddle 14.2hh+

Can you guess what theme we went for when naming these 3! 💃🪩💃

31/05/2024

New yard romance Saffron (4yo, 15hh Connemara mare available) and long term residence Ajax ♥️😂🐴

That originally came as a naughty, soured 6yo 16.2hh showjumper and now learning to have some fun and turned into a sensible nanny for all the babies for his mum Lorna

We don't only produce, break in and sell lovely youngsters, we also love assessing and working with problem horses

30/05/2024

How many youngsters are too many youngsters on one hack? 🤣Turns out 6 is fine!

All just 4 years old (except Bobby who although 6, only recently started under saddle) but they where all so good even when meeting a tractor, a loud trailer carrying an even louder cow inside, bicycles, bins etc..

In front and videoing, Belle on Cosmo leading Saffron. Followed by Clara riding Negroni leading two, Elliot (lighter grey on Clara's left) and Piper (darker grey on the right). Last but not least, Demi on Bobby

And of course the dogs too 😂

ALL THESE BABIES are available and looking for new homes, they all have a job, some are great eventers/jumpers types all the way to show/dressage prospects, all suitable for amateurs/children/older ladies and gents as they were all chosen for their capabilities, conformations but more than anything for their wonderful personalities

Get in touch with what you are looking for and we will try our best to match you up with one (or more😂) of our wonderful babies

29/05/2024

Golden by colour and by nature 😍

Samba💃🏼

The new wonderful 14.2hh 4yo Connemara mare that just arrived, she is proving so incredibly sweet so far and an absolute beauty

27/05/2024

Another fabulous big cob has just joined us to find his new forever home!!

7yo Teddy is a big boy! Full up 15.3hh with big feet and all! He competed with his mum mainly in dressage and qualified for nationals to the stay away show! He is a fancy cob

He arrived Friday and we went for a quick hack together to assess and made me feel comfortable enough straight away to go the next day to Cirencester park to the funride where he was SO much fun! Not only he is fancy, he also has stamina for a big cob and a good jump too, tackling all the bigger fences, in a SNAFFLE!! I could jump with one hand and video at the same time 🙈

Just wonderful 🥰

Cobs like him and Cosmo don't come around often!! Hard to find so beautiful and sporty!!

We will take some proper pictures of him and videos at home in the next couple of days

22/05/2024

I think I might regret posting so many beauties at once but here we go

Moretti, Connemara 15.1hh 4yo athletic gorgeous model, with lots of growing to do, lightly backed end of last year and just back into work after a couple of months on holiday in the field, good to hack, established in walk trot canter and popped a small jump under saddle, a very exciting one for the future

Piper, Connemara 14.3hh to make 15hh+ gelding, piper was broken in professionally and is now here to produce further and find a new home, in the two weeks of being here his flatwork came on leaps and bounds and has been cross country schooling for the first time, he jumped everything pointed at first time, he has HUMONGOUS paces for a little horse and a good little jump on him, he can be a serious dressage prospect but has a good enough jump to showjump and is incredibly brave towards a fence

Saffron, Connemara mare to make 15hh+, she has been a few weeks under saddle, she is brave out hacking, she rides and leads, she walks, trots and canters well in the arena and has popped a fence, she is a real pocket rocket with a horse engine, very careful and quick with her legs and has she effortlessly covers the ground, she will be very special, quiet enough for an amateur and talented enough to make it up the level too

Elliott, Connemara gelding 15hh, the most beautiful athletic model with a very attractive face, he has a kind, funny and very cute personality, he tries his hardest and has had the same riding experience as Saffron. He is very correct in walk trot and canter and has a careful jump, give a beautiful feeling and he also will go far, handsome and talented

Conner, Connemara Gelding 15.1hh 4yo, Conner is a very true to type traditional connemara. He has the most laid back, steady personality, he has been with us a few months and he is probably the most reliable horse on the yard. Anyone and everyone has ridden him, from nervous children to novices, to elderly ladies. Brilliant to hack both in company and on his own, you can lead two horses off of him or even your dog 😂 he is just brilliant and everyone loves him

Cosmopolitan, Clydesdale x ISH 4yo 15.2hh to make 16hh cob gelding. Cosmo has been with us a couple of months and is a very sweet boy, he has been mainly hacking as he has gone through a growths spurt soon after he was broken in and went so massively bum high that we felt bad into putting any work into him. After a quieter couple of months he has leveled out a bit and is back into action now, beautiful little cob, a real trier, he is a good little jumper and has very correct paces and flashy markings, he can be a beautiful show/dressage prospect but also athletic enough to event/jump/hunt, he could literally succeed in everything especially with his great personality that gives everything a go

All these babies have immaculate manners on the ground, with the farrier, to handle on a daily basis and they are all well desensitized to everyday's life

Oh Saffron if only I had the time to have one of my own ❤️ This 4yo is everything you would expect to see to make a great competition horse one day Intelligent, trainable, bright but safe, increadibly balanced and easy to collect for her age, very aware of her own legs, a great jumper and a great mover, brave into a fence, trusting of the rider She is just fabulous 😍 This is her first time around a course of showjumps, first time seeing fillers, including water tray. I would still normally trot them into fences at this stage but she very happily popped into a very lovely steady canter so I just let her work it all out, you can see the quality and willingness within the greeness, such a great brain to work with All of this in a fully registered overheight Connemara package makes it even more exciting 😊 She is available to view, 15hh and very bum high to make 15.1hh+ a little dream in the making, I would love to see her go to an experienced home to bring the best out of her, but she is also quiet enough for an ambitious amateur, I broke her in myself and never put a foot out of place since the first day under saddle #CDMEquestrian

This is how sweet and kind big Teddy is 🐻 And as confirmed by our most experienced rider at #CDMEquestrian , Teddy is indeed very "Lowely" so much that she requested to jump the oxer in the arena bareback and backwards 🙈 I am scared of the day she will ride off the lead 😂 A week full of viewings for Ted, Aka Mr popular, quite unsurprisingly 💁🏼‍♀️

How many youngsters are too many youngsters on one hack? 🤣Turns out 6 is fine! All just 4 years old (except Bobby who although 6, only recently started under saddle) but they where all so good even when meeting a tractor, a loud trailer carrying an even louder cow inside, bicycles, bins etc.. In front and videoing, Belle on Cosmo leading Saffron. Followed by Clara riding Negroni leading two, Elliot (lighter grey on Clara's left) and Piper (darker grey on the right). Last but not least, Demi on Bobby And of course the dogs too 😂 ALL THESE BABIES are available and looking for new homes, they all have a job, some are great eventers/jumpers types all the way to show/dressage prospects, all suitable for amateurs/children/older ladies and gents as they were all chosen for their capabilities, conformations but more than anything for their wonderful personalities Get in touch with what you are looking for and we will try our best to match you up with one (or more😂) of our wonderful babies #CDMEquestrian

This is how we do the first canter with our breakers, beautifully shown by Hamish, 4yo 15.2hh Connemara Gelding from Kerrie Fleming Horses (he will be available soon, get in touch with Kerrie as he is an absolute sweetheart) This is exactly how we think a baby should be introduced to new questions, with no pressure, no restricting gadgets and a more experienced friend to learn from Until they are off the leg, straight and walk trot and canter well, we don't even think about taking them into the arena, this method always seems to produce willing, confident, non spooky and forward babies that are happy to give anything a go. From top show-jumping/dressage horses all the way to our wonderful coblets and steady connemaras Of course we target every plan specifically to each individual horse but roughly this is what we try and do with all of them to give them the most enjoyable, pressure free start, with all the s*** and giggles that come with the process 😂 (see video below) Duke, that I was riding the "supposed to be sensible nanny" had a bit too much fun, Hamish on the other hand was super sensible and found his extra gear with not even one little hop or hump, which is normally completely expected from a baby 🤗 I apologise for the language 🙈 if easily offended please don't watch 🙏🏼🤗 #CDMEquestrian

Another super cute cutie that arrived the day before yesterday is Piper To make 15hh connemara gelding, 4yo already under saddle and popped a few jumps ☺️ This is him as soon as he arrived coming straight off the lorry, in a new windy place with horses coming in and out of the field and he was incredibly sweet and a real trier, very polite and willing, he has big paces in a little horse, he will be a fantastic competition little horse 🤗 Looking for a new 🏡 #CDMEquestrian
