Purpose bred for eventing, this halfbred Connemara is by TBS Declan Pondi and out of an Oldenburg approved TB mare. We bred and raised this 5 year old, he has had an excellent start undersaddle, he is also jumping a course of jumps. O'brien has correct conformation, has a friendly, personable temperament, comfortable gaits, and he is a great size at 16 + hands, he is not overly broad, and he does have a smaller barrel, so he may suit some shorter riders as well. O'Brien has nice hooves and is up to date with teeth being floated, deworming, and vaccinations. In his four year old summer O'Brien spent time out on our trek, the Willamette Coast Ride, so he is accustomed to trailering out and riding across varied terrain in a group, in the middle and the front, including natural jumps and water, as well as the beach, being tied at lunch and being shod. He would make a nice foxhunter as well, he is not overly spooky and is quite happy to lead out and is a handy, maneuverable size but can definitely cover some ground and has good endurance. This horse will make a lovely eventer, foxhunter or all around pleasure riding horse (including dressage!), he is nice to be around and fun to ride.
