Meet Sam, a 4-year-old purebred Connemara gelding who is the true definition of the traditional type—strong, well-built, and a leg in each corner. This lovely young horse has a kind heart and an eager-to-please attitude that makes him an absolute pleasure to work with every day. Sam is a quick learner with a calm, willing nature, making him the ideal partner for riders looking for a safe and straightforward companion.
He is nicely schooled on the flat, with three balanced, correct paces. His canter is particularly noteworthy—uphill, steady, and incredibly comfortable to ride. Sam is not too forward and never behind the leg; he gives his rider a great feel and always tries his best. His temperament is genuine and honest, and he takes everything in his stride without fuss.
Sam absolutely loves his jumping and has been confidently jumping up to 90cm at home, with the scope and attitude to go further. He is brave across country and will jump whatever he’s pointed at with enthusiasm and trust. He has a good technique and a great brain—making him a superb candidate for a competitive or all-round home. Whether you’re looking for a fun mother-daughter share or a solid step up for a child coming off smaller ponies, Sam ticks all the boxes.
Out hacking, he is a dream—happy to go out alone or in company, not spooky, and always up for new adventures. He is easy to shoe, box, catch, ride, and behaves impeccably in traffic. He has no stable vices, is open to any vetting, and comes from good breeding, sired by the well-regarded Slackport Prince x Earl of Newbridge x New Beginnings.
Sam is not just another pony—he’s a rare find. With his temperament, trainability, and traditional Connemara quality, he’ll be a wonderful addition to any home. Price includes delivery to your yard in the UK, and exchange is available if you’re not satisfied.
