Herbie

Super honest advert (please no timewasters!!)

148, 18 year old gelding

Been with us for 5 years and all previous owners all in contact

Jumping 80-90-1m courses with current rider, and has a great technique
Loves cross country and hacking also
Never strong or silly when out and about
Has jumped higher courses with more capable riders (1.10-1.20)

Negatives - on the ground he can bite, once he knows 'his person' he will get less grumpy - however once tacked up he won't bite
Needs sedated to clip also

If you're looking for a pony to do the job, jump whats in front of him, bring some ribbons home, and don't mind his biting, he's perfect

Can come with tack negotiated separately

Selling as rider out of 148s

Pure bred Connemara mare 10 years old full up and rides bigger but with the benefit of a 138 AHC

This pony has done literally everything for my daughter, bringing her from local pony club level to competing and winning at regional and national levels across a wide range of disciplines, including:

• Showing – winning at County and winning and placing at National level including placing in the top 8 at The Royal International Open 143 Show Hunter Pony 2023 (highest placed amateur produced), qualifying for 148 Performance Pony at The London International and Pretty Polly Mixed Height Show Hunter Pony at The Royal International.
• Show Jumping – regularly competing and clear at 80 and 90cm classes in both Pony Club and Unaffiliated classes. Won 100cm PC SJ class at Bury Farm in last two weeks.
• Eventing – placing top 3 and double clear at PC grassroots ODEs in 2023 and placing in top 6 at Eastern Regional Championships.
• Working Hunter – clear and placing in top 5 at BSPS Summer Championship Novice Plaited 143 2023, top Junior 100cm Training Stakes at BSPS Winter Championships 2024, 2nd at RI Open Plaited Working Hunter qualifiers 2024 and winning Novice M&M 143cm class at NPS Summer Championships 2024.

We have also taken this pony on hound exercise and hunting in a snaffle and taken her pony racing at Lingfield Park. She placed at the NPS Arena Eventing 90cm qualifier at the Summer Championships qualifying for the national final of this event. Her past owners did a lot of dressage with her and qualified for Pony Club Nationals but my daughter isn’t that interested in pure dressage. She has been to plenty of Pony Club events and camp. She is easy to ride in an outline, has brakes and only needs the briefest warm ups at events. She is only for sale because my daughter’s priorities have changed and she has her hands full.

Beyond these results she is a completely safe pony; the most novice rider can be out on her but she can change up the gears for more experienced and forward riders. She hacks out in company or alone, goes first or last and is dependable in traffic and open fields. She is easy to clip, shoe, plait and wash and good for the dentist and vet. She is never sick or sorry. She is good in the stable and is a dream at stay away shows. She loads easily and travels quietly, standing on the lorry all day and other horses can be taken away without a problem. Almost whole life history known.

The downsides of the pony are minor: she’s not particularly cuddly and, although she can be affectionate, it’s on her terms. We turn her out a lot and I think she’s better in a quiet environment. We have a lot of stallions on the yard and have put her on regumate during our season which I think has helped chill her out and would recommend continuing. She also has a typical “fleshy” Connemara lip so we change her bit quite regularly and only use a fixed or sleeved bit.

No dealers please and a text to arrange a call would be appreciated.
