Yesterday I took Freddie to Bucks County horse Park to get some more videos him. I checked their calendar and it was empty. I pull in with my trailer to discover that they were hosting a Pony Club Games Rally!! SOOOO many children and ponies galloping around hahaha. Freddie was completely non-plussed by the whole atmosphere! I’ll have his videos ready soon!

Hi All! Apologies for going radio silent for the last week or so! It was one of those crazy weeks where I was just keeping my head above the water! I moved the ponies to a new farm and they are doing great- both are relaxed and happy. Poor Freddie had a bout of lymphangitis- he got a small rub from a bell boot which met the mud from all the crazy rain and bam- lymphangitis. Luckily, we got the antibiotics started on day one and got it cleared up right away. I just sat on him for the first time in almost a week, early this morning, before the worst of the heat, and he was super! It was his first ride at the new farm and he felt like he had lived here his entire life- we hacked all around and then did a low-key dressage school. This gelding just has the most level-head! He is *available*- don’t hesitate to reach out if you are interested. I have an outing planned for Saturday to complete my sales videos, after this heat wave lifts! Stay cool, my friends!

I took Freddie to Windurra this morning for his very first cross-country schooling here in the States and he was such a good boy! There is *a lot* to look at there for a young horse- so many jumps, loud traffic, other horses jumping and galloping, plus lessons taking place- he handled it brilliantly. I could tell he was a little overwhelmed initially, and all he needed was to stop and have a few moments to look around and take everything in. When he was ready to continue on, he gave a big sigh, relaxed, and off we went ☺️ Really, could you ask for a better reaction from a young horse? This guy has the best head on his shoulders. I’m working on assembling his XC videos- they will be available soon!

Who else is out there enjoying this glorious sunshine?? I had a lovely ride on sweet Freddie this morning! Keep your eyes peeled for some ⛵️ videos of this super gelding!

I had a lovely ride on Mayday Rock (aka Freddie) this morning! He is just such a straightforward, uncomplicated ride! He’s super steady in the bridle and his gaits are naturally very rhythmic- what more could you ask for in a young horse? The farmer was planting the fields and going up and down the farm lane with massive tractors and farm equipment throughout our ride this morning. Freddie barely batted an eye :)

Freddie is settling in brilliantly- he’s just lovely to ride under saddle- naturally balanced and very simple. He’s also proving to have that great Connemara brain- yesterday I rode him out and about and all the hay baling equipment was out, complete with flapping tarps- it was a lot to take in for a young horse! I just sat quietly and gave him as much time as he needed to get a good look at everything and then he bravely walked on, sniffed a few pieces of equipment, decided everything was up to code, and we continued on out hack ☺️ I’ll take that!

Welcome to America, Freddie!! I’d say that pony is happy to back out in a field after traveling across the world! After a nice trot around the fence line and a few good rolls, he settled right in and started grazing. I’m excited to get started with this sweet boy after he has a chance to rest!

I’m homeward bound from the Ark at JFK with sweet Freddie! He calmly loaded and started happily munching on his hay, so we are off to a good start! ❤️

And the journey begins! Huge shoutout to Equine International Shipping Ltd. for taking such good care of these ponies as they make their way across the puddle to the States! I appreciate the updates! Can’t wait to see you on this side, Freddie!

Exciting news everyone: Mayday Rock (a.k.a. “Freddie”) will be making his way to America in just a few short weeks! He is a wonderfully quiet 4yo full Connemara gelding- he is so naturally balanced, I had a hard time believing he was just 4 years old! His gaits are so rhythmic, he keeps time like a metronome and he is just so level-headed. I loved what a straightforward, simple ride he was. I even got to hack him out to a field and pop him over some cross country jumps! He didn’t blink at the horses and cows running along side the fence line and wasn’t bothered by the several dogs that were trailing along behind him. Love those Connie brains! Thank you Padraic Heanue for helping me find this lovely pony at Heslin sport horses!

Good morning everyone! I’m back home from my Ireland trip, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help you purchase a lovely pony. I sat on so many quality ponies- I wish I could afford to purchase several for my business! If you are in the market, let me know- I’d be happy to tell you more about what I rode and help you organize vetting, shipping, etc. For example, if any of you remember my sales mare, Ballystanford April (I sold her in November 2023), I sat on her half sister! I didn’t know it at the time, but they pulled the mare out of the stall and boy, are they doppelgängers! She looks and rides *exactly* like April! If you liked that mare, but missed out on that purchase, you’ve got another chance! I’m in the midst of vetting my next sales pony, so stay tuned 🙂

Today I had the opportunity to ride one more fantastic 4yo full Connemara gelding owned by Lily McGowen- I bought Hillowan Bob (“Owen”) from her a few years ago. All of her ponies are always absolute class and this lad, “Paddy,” was no different! He has such a good head on him and is super athletic!
