ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS HORSE

Pedigree

Hero has a great performance pedigree, being by Newbridge Bosco out of Corner House Lady, a mare who is by Glencarrig Prince, one of the outstanding Connemara stallions of the last 20 years.

Thanks to this pedigree, Hero is a super jumping pony with lots of scope and a very brave on cross country, jumping everything in his path. He's also happy on the trail either alone or in company.

Personality

Solid for the vet, shoer, and when trailering, Hero will stand tied at the trailer in a new situation with no trouble. He loves trail rides and grooming, and is often handled by children and amateurs who find him easy to deal with.

Hero has an incredible attitude - he’s always thoughtful, not reactive, which is saying something for a youngster.

Purpose

Lightly shown in Ireland, Hero won the Stepping Stones to Success Young Event Horse League.

He received the highest dressage score in his section, with nine out of 10 for general impression, nine out of 10 for submissiveness and 9.5 out of 10 for his canter, with lots of positive comments.

Since being imported he’s proved super easy at shows, and has schooled Novice and Training cross country with ease - no doubt he’ll be the type to bring confidence to his rider no matter where they go.
