The safest and soundest eventing pony that dreams are made of. I have owned Turpin since the day he was born and he is the most mannerly, sweetest and pleasant pony to deal with on a day to day basis. He is the only foal out of 2* eventing pony Newgrove Lass and has shown every bit of promise to be as good as if not better than her! Turpin has never had a days lameness and is such a tough, sound pony, he only actually wears shoes for the studs! He is 100% to hack alone or in company, clip, shoe and any of the day to day bits, he really is just an innately lovely little man.
Dressage
Turpin is established at BE100 level and although this would be considered his weakest phase, he is still able to achieve good results. He needs a rider with good feel and mature understanding. He has the canter of a rocking horse and all his work is correct.
Showjumping
Turpin has a very consistent record up to 1 metre with 3 separate young riders, his records on SJI, Eventing Ireland and British Eventing speak for themselves. He has plenty of ability for 1.10 and is on track to step up for next season. His recent rounds at Oasby and Speetley have shown he is able to jump out of bottomless ground and also be one of the best performers of the day.
Cross Country
Turpin is a very mannerly cross country pony, jumping both phases in a simple snaffle. He will suit someone who is able to kick on and loves the rush. He is able to show a lesser experienced rider round 80 & 90 with no bother whilst they learn the ropes of the sport. He never becomes overwhelmed by technicalities and is already confidently schooling at BE Novice level. Once again, ground is no factor to Turpin and will jump as well on good ground as he does a bog.
Hunting
Turpin is the hunting pony of dreams. There is no country he cannot cross and no ground he can’t cover. He has hunted with Rockwood Harriers, Readyfield Bloodhounds, East Antrim Harriers, East Clare Harriers and North Tipperary Foxhounds. He has also completed the Ballycommon ride twice with 2 separate riders.
Extra Features
Turpin has been a vital member of the East Antrim pony club teams in 2023/2024 being in a winning PC90 eventing team and also a winning PC100 show jumping team.
Also, to add to Turpin’s versatility, Turpin is also broken to drive! He doesn’t even wear blinkers, he’s a very happy pony trotting down the lanes taking in the sights!
