Connor o’Connor is a firm favourite on the yard. He has a huge personality, owning him is always a laugh a minute as he has a huge, great sense of humour.
Connor is a cremello gelding- he was gelded as a 3yo after covering a handful of mares. He was initially purchased as a breeding stallion, but personal circumstances changed so we had him castrated. He has always turned out with other geldings and turns out next to mares. I lead him to the walker/field and he travels on the lorry next to mares. He has not turned out with mares as we don’t mix mares and geldings anyway.
Connor was backed and ridden away last summer, he then was turned away and came in towards the end of the hunting season to grab a few days with the Fernie/local drag packs. He proved to be very well behaved at the meet and was ridden in a snaffle. He is a very chilled horizontal kind of guy and he behaved as such out hunting! He was good with hounds and other horses and popped a couple of ditches and tiger traps. He is not a made hunter but he was impeccably behaved.
Connor has been to a handful of arena hires- including dressage boards, all weather xc and Showjumps. He has also been xc schooling on grass. He is incredibly generous and genuine in his nature and will as a rule give everything a go- if you kick and steer he tries his best! He’s good with fillers, water trays, ditches, water, skinnies and brush.
He has been to a hunter trial as his first go at xc and he was an absolute star and tried his little heart out.
Connor has done a couple of intro UA dr tests and behaved well, he is not scared or spooky of dressage boards.
Connor is good to hack alone or in company, on roads and in fields. He is good in all traffic and farm machinery. He never naps.
He is working sweetly in the school and he has a lovely soft mouth and works in a natural outline. He has a good step and a rocking horse canter.
Connor has no health issues and is N/N hoof wall. He is good to load and travel o Lorrie’s and trailers. He is good to clip and shoe and is shod all round.
Connor is a fun loving comedian. He is still a young and green little horse so he is not suitable for a novice home- however he has been used to give friends children lead rein lessons and frequently has our 6mth old baby ‘ride him’ round the stable!
He is not suitable for a very nervous owner as he has bags of attitude (in a good way!) and is generally a super star jolly cheeky little chappy. He does not buck rear or nap. 5* home wanted for our concon
