Gorgeous Big-Bodied Connemara x Thoroughbred Gelding

16.2hh big bodied, sexy, fabulous moving, seven year old gelding - Murdoch is a quality animal.

Murdoch is by the lovely ISR approved Connemara stallion, Ballywhim An Luan, out of a big stately Thoroughbred mare, Jelly Fish, who is a 5 time granddaughter of Man O'War.

Ballywhim An Luan has produced many lovely offspring, including the 14.2hh halfbred, Ganymede, who has won numerous upper level events, and has been awarded the Theodore O'Connor Trophy for USEA Pony of the Year - TWICE.

Murdoch holds the same lovely qualities as his paternal half-sister, and would excel in the dressage arena.

He has very comfortable gaits, is easy off the leg, and quick to pick up new sandbox tricks. He will suit a good riding amateur or a professional to continue his dressage development.

We have begun to re-establish jumping with this horse and believe that he could be a lovely jumping horse if put into the right training program. He did a bit of foxhunting to supplement his cross training, but we would not recommend that be his job.

Last photograph is of Ganymede, Murdoch's paternal 14.2hh 17yo half-sister. She is still competing.
