I’m 5’3″ on a good day. Tall horses with ground covering strides are fancy and all, but any horse pushing 17.0 hands literally towers above me. I’ve never owned a horse taller than 16.0 hands (even if I fudged it once on a USEA record) and I’m here to tell you – bigger is not always better. Give me a 15.1-hand little sports car of a horse any day and we’ll show you how to pat the ground and make the step. Hairpin turn? Tight distance? No problem. Looking for something sharp, clever and quick with movement to boot? You got it. Check out these five “honies” standing 15.2 hands or less.

FANCY 15.2 7year old Imported Purebred Connemara Gelding!
Bobbie is an absolutely stunning imported 15.2 7yo Connemara gelding that we have available by Monaghanstown Pat (Kilmullen Fionn) out of a Glencarrig Prince dam with fabulous and expressive movement! He is legitimately the nicest moving connie I’ve ever seen! He is very special both in his talent and brain!
He has done a bit of everything, hunted, xc, jumper shows, dressage. He is definitely one we would love to keep but need to sell some horses this fall! Very exciting YR/AA candidate as he will win dressage, super scopey in stadium and brave xc! Loves to hack and try new things! He does have more go than whoa & keen to the jumps so not necessarily suitable for a complete beginner but ideal for someone wanting a fancy competitive partner! He has competed in Novice/training shows both here is U.S, Ireland and England and cross country schooled extensively. Located in Florida.

STUNNING IMPORTED CONNEMARA X EVENTER/JUMPER FOR LEASE OR PURCHASE
15.2 dun 7yo Connemara x Tb mare available for lease or purchase. Many miles in the jumper ring up to 1m20 and is almost unbeatable, rarely having a pole, never stops and has won multiple classes and championships. Very forgiving and careful with scope for bigger tracks. Evented to training level both in the UK and USA with top placings and wins. Schooled prelim xc easily; very brave and catty. Would be ready to move up this fall. Would suit a yr or aa wanting to win prizes in the jumper ring or someone aiming for NAYC one star and beyond. She is quite a forward ride so wouldn’t suit a timid rider but equally is very safe and a lot of fun. Located in Florida.
