15.2hh connemara gelding by the sought after sire Silver Shadow

Connemara · Grey · Gelding · 10 years · 15.2hh / 158cm

Elvis is a genuine, and much-loved Connemara gelding who has been part of our family since he was five years old. During that time, he has done a bit of everything and has proven himself to be an exceptionally kind, honest and easy horse to have around. He is a pleasure to handle in every way, and everyone who meets him falls in love with his kind nature.

Under saddle, Elvis is a forward-going ride while remaining safe and sensible. He is very bold unfazed by fillers or cross-country fences. The type of horse that will go on any stride. He happily competes at 90cm. As he is a forward ride he is not suitable for novices.

Elvis has enjoyed varied work including eventing, hunter trials, show jumping, arena eventing and NSEA Schools competitions. He qualified and competed at the NSEA Hickstead Eventer's Challenge 90/95 Championships in May 2025. He loves hacking, beach rides and the gallops. He is good in traffic. Elvis would thrive in a family environment and is an all rounder that could turn his hoof to anything. He would suit a riding club home or mother/daughter share.

Elvis hacks confidently alone or in company and has never been bothered about leaving other horses, or being left on his own. He is a genuinely sensible horse and as a Parent, I never worry about my daughter riding him on her own. He is excellent in open spaces and on the ground, Elvis is everything you could want. He is easy to catch first time every time, stands patiently whether at home or away, and will happily wait as long as you wish.

This year he has had fewer outings due to my daughter's GCSE’s and the hot summer, but he has remained in consistent work five days a week and is fit, and ready to go. Our reason for sale is due to increasing academic commitments.

Elvis does require some maintenance to keep him at his best, which the price reflects and we are happy to discuss, but it is a small compromise for a special horse.

He is excellent for the vet, dentist, farrier, physio, clipping and bathing and genuinely enjoys being fussed over. He has no stable vices, loads easily, but is happiest in a horsebox. Can live in or out, but has a stable currently and loves a sleep in comfort.

He is fully up to date with vaccinations, dentist, physio, worming etc

This is a very hard decision so finding the right match and a long term home is our absolute top priority and we are in no rush.

Based in Hampshire.
