Tom is an extremely smart, genuine and unspoilt horse who I bought directly from the breeder as an unbacked 3yo. Having been started by a professional, he has been slowly and correctly produced with his future in mind, and since spent time gaining valuable experience out and about at clinics and shows over the last year.

Tom is a lovely stamp of a horse, turning heads wherever he goes and always getting lovely comments from the judges. His dressage marks are consistently in the high 60s/low 70s from his first ever test, with so much more to come. He could easily excel in this phase or turn his hand to showing, with his sire excelling in the showring as a purebred Connemara. His jumping has been continuously improving, he has natural scope and is proving genuine but does occasionally need his hand held as he is still quite green in this area. With time, he has the ability to be a serious jumper. He has also been cross country schooling and to hunter trials, jumping skinnies, steps, ditches etc, again proving genuine with a confident rider.

Tom is for sale through no fault of his own and is fit and ready to form a new partnership with someone he can trust and go out and have fun with. He is a saint to hack alone or in company, perfect in open spaces, and used to all farm machinery. He is 100% to shoe, catch, clip etc and stands happily on the box all day. He is looking for a kind and sympathetic rider to continue his education, so for this reason he is not suitable for a complete novice. Tom would make a lovely mother-daughter share, or suit someone coming off ponies looking for that next step up, as he is compact, uphill and goes in a natural outline – he really is a dream to ride! He has a lovely temperament both on the ground and ridden and is easy to do in every way. He is snaffle mouthed in all 3 phases. No vices. This is an extremely smart horse with a very exciting future ahead of him.
