Colleen – 14.2hh 4-Year-Old Class 1 Cremello Connemara Mare
Rare Colour, Outstanding Temperament, and Exceptional Breeding
Meet Colleen, a truly eye-catching 4-year-old purebred Connemara mare standing at 14.2hh. With her striking cremello coat, kind nature, and elegant movement, she is the definition of a rare gem. Colleen is a Class 1 inspected mare with a pedigree packed full of top performance bloodlines. She is an exciting young pony who is already proving herself as a serious all-round prospect, both beautiful and brilliant in every sense.
Colleen is as sweet and kind as she is stunning. She is very easy to handle, good to shoe, box, catch, clip, and is confident in traffic. She hacks out quietly alone or in company and is polite and uncomplicated in all settings. Her calm and willing attitude makes her a pleasure to have on the yard and a joy to ride.
A Joy to Ride – Balanced, Forward, and Talented
Colleen has been professionally and correctly started. She is working well on the flat, showing three fantastic paces with a particularly lovely uphill canter. She is a straight mover, works happily into a soft contact in a snaffle, and gives a correct and comfortable ride. She is light off the aids, forward-thinking but always sensible – an ideal ride for a confident teenager or small adult looking for a top-quality pony to produce.
She is also straightforward to jump and has started cross-country schooling, where she has shown herself to be brave, honest, and willing. She’s already proving to enjoy her jumping, and she takes everything in her stride with a steady and relaxed approach.
Top Pedigree – Built for Performance and Breeding
Colleen’s pedigree speaks volumes. Her sire is the highly regarded Lissroe Charlie, a Class 1 stallion known for his athleticism, excellent temperament, and top-quality offspring. Her dam is by Woodfield Sammy, another performance-bred stallion, and out of a mare by the legendary Westside Mirah, one of the most influential sires in Connemara performance breeding. This combination gives Colleen everything she needs to excel in sport – be it dressage, working hunter, showjumping, or Pony Club.
She passed her Class 1 inspection with top results, making her not only a promising riding pony but also an exciting future broodmare prospect, particularly with her rare cremello colouring and exceptional type.
